Summary

Thank whoever made ya guys for just one guy confronting you with a sword. Ali Baba faced worse than ya!

Setchan: Previously on… Zenkaiger!
Stacy was back, and once again on the attack!
And then we got the shock of our lives!
Kaito's mom, Professor Mitsuko, managed to break free and escape from the Tozitend palace!

Kaito's mother Mitsuko has escaped the Tozitend. Despite enlisting Juran and the others' help to search for her, it seems she is nowhere to be found in this world. Thinking she must have ended up in another world, Kaito has Zocks take him on a trip across the released parallel worlds to look for her. However, Stacy and the Tozitend are in hot pursuit of her as well...

Tropes

• Alternate Self: The gang keeps running into multiple alternate versions of Su from each of the different parallel worlds they visit.
• Ambiguous Situation: The episode ends with the gang making an emergency retreat home with "Mitsuko" to fool the Tozitend into thinking she has been saved and end their invasive search for her. The real Mitsuko is now safe from the Tozitend, but her whereabouts remains unknown.
• Curb Stomp Cushion: While Stacy may have taken a level in badass, Black JuraGaon is blown up fairly easily by ZenkaijuOh. However, it was still overpowering them easily, but they used the environment to trap it and let them destroy it rather than try to overpower it.
• Foreshadowing: "Mitsuko" is really stiff upon her introduction. Then she suddenly strikes a familiar pose that could only be led to one person... that person being Magine. It also probably helps that Magine's voice could be heard in the scuffle between Stacy and Kaito, not to mention how the gang returns home with "Mitsuko" but seemingly without Magine.
• Logical Weakness: Dark JuraGaon is extremely powerful...but that doesn't do much good if it can't move. So ZenKaijuOh blasts the glacier behind it to bury it in ice, leaving it unable to defend itself and letting them destroy it.
• The Reveal: "Mitsuko" was actually Magine in disguise in order to throw off the Tozitend and end their own invasive search across the parallel worlds for her.
• Running Gag:
  • The gang (particularly the Goldtsuikers) sampling food from each parallel world they visited in their ship, regardless of the situation.
  • Su-san appearing in every single world the gang finds themself on.
• Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: A Kudaiter and Ijirude indulge in this using their walkie-talkies to communicate that "Mitsuko" has been found, going "beep-boop-bop" when pressing its buttons.
