The Goldtsuikers have finally found SD Wald, who contains the gear needed to help their younger twin brothers. The pirate family rushes to charge at the sight of it as it turns everything in its path into a Super-Deformed state! However, Zocks's own Geardalinger is shrunken, and his transformation is suddenly canceled.With the Zenkaigers as small as a penny, an undeterred Zocks goes to engage SD Wald alone, in an effort to help not just Kaito and the others, but his sister Flint alongside their twin brothers as well, staking his pride as a pirate and the head of his family to settle this age-old score once and for all.
Tropes
- Bittersweet Ending: The Goldtsuiker twins don't end up going back to their human forms, but SDtopia has been freed. While the Goldtsuiker family sets off to SDtopia to find a proper cure for them in the end, they do so on a hopeful note, promising to come back to the Zenkaigers' world one day.
- One Curse Limit: Weaponized by the Goldtsuiker twins: since they've already been transformed into SD versions of themselves, they're naturally immune to SD Wald's super deforming beam. This then allows them to shield Zocks from the attack.
- Put on a Bus: The Goldtsuiker family sets off to the now-released SDtopia to cure their twins. With Gege!Stacy having also released Kaizokutopia for them to return to, it is not known how long would it take or if they would ever be able to return to the Zenkaiger World.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: The episode ends with Possessed!Stacy destroying the Kaizoku Toziru Gear, freeing Kaizokutopia for the Goldtsuikers to return to.
- Wham Shot: Gege's genuinely confused reaction to Boccowaus and not remembering what he was talking about just a moment ago, only to suddenly "remember" after his eyes flash red the same way Stacy's did, reveals that Gege is a victim of possession as well.
- You Are Not Alone: After Kaito saves Zocks from the Tozitend, he reminds him that his fight isn't his to bear alone, as the rest of the Zenkaigers and the Goldtsuikers arrive as well.
