Summary
It's not everyday you see Stacy smile...wait, it's honestly creeping me out...WHY IS HE SMILING LIKE THAT?!?
Setchan: (sporting cat ears and bow) Previously on… Zenkai-nya~
The allure of kotatsus had the Zenkaigers in big trouble!
However, thanks to Juran and the power of the new Sentai Gear, they managed to turn the tables!
And from here on out, we'll have to fight the cold weather as well!

The Zenkaigers face Mukaikazenote Wald who has appeared. Having difficulties fighting him due to strong headwinds blowing against whichever direction they face, Stacy shows up to save the team and attacks the Wald. He states his intentions to join the Zenkaigers and defect from the Tozitend due to having nothing to gain from staying with them. Despite being glad to hear this from him, Kaito has his doubts about this sudden change in Stacy...
Tropes
- Foreshadowing: At episode's end, Gege!Stacy promises that he'll bring a gift next time.
- Lampshade Hanging: The similarities between Red Racer and Go-On Red (both leads of comedic vehicle-themed Sentai) are pointed out when Setchan mistakes them for each other while their backs are turned.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Pretty much everyone wonders what's happened to Stacy given how off he feels in this episode.
- Out-of-Character Alert: When Kaito notices that Stacy has no animosity whatsoever towards Barashitara, his suspicions that something is off with him are pretty much confirmed.
- Outside-the-Box Tactic: Kaito eventually figures out how to counter the headwind constantly blowing towards him and his friends brought about by Mukaikaze Wald: go backwards!
