Summary

Now a new beginning has begun to be and
In this land that you protected and kept in safety.
These budding lives are with me
On this journey.

Having been given proper time to rest by reinforcements, the kings continue their final battle with the vain, deluded, and royally infuriated Dagded who decides to destroy everything in a rage-fuelled act of revenge. Now with the secret to replace the missing King’s Proof, King-Ohger is reborn, ready to bring the Galactinsects to an end, destroy Dagded and save the universe!

“We will rule the world!”

Tropes

• 11th-Hour Superpower: Remembering Reinol's words, the Kings create a new King’s Proof from the people's wishes to upgrade King-Ohger into Ultimate King-Ohger, a being capable of defeating Dagded.
• And the Adventure Continues: The episode ends with the team transforming one more time.
• Behemoth Battle: With King-Ohger upgraded to Ultimate King-Ohger, the Kings are able to take it to Dagded in his true scale. This is perhaps the largest scale Super Sentai has ever had a fight on, as Dagded's true size was stated to be universal in scope.
• Best Served Cold: Racules and Dethnaarok take their revenge on Kamejim for his treachery.
• Big Damn Hug: Gira gets two, first from Racules, and then from Kogane and Boone as they welcome him back.
• Big "YES!": The people let out a massive hurrah as they welcome the triumphant monarchs back.
• Bittersweet Ending: Downplayed, as it leans heavily towards "sweet" than "bitter." The team finally manage to kill Dadged for good, releasing Tikyū and the cosmos from his grasp. Shugoddam is fully restored afterwards and Tikyū manages to reach a state of full peace. However, the Shugods' physical bodies were sacrificed in order to achieve this victory; Yanma promising Gira that he'll rebuild their bodies with their intact Souls. The King-Ohgers also end the show transforming to fight yet another enemy, albeit one we neither see nor hear.
• Book Ends: During the group’s first full team transformation in #5, Gira gets knocked over by Yanma and Hymeno. In the final scene, the team goes to do a group transformation only for Gira to be knocked over yet again.
• Call-Back:
  • The team’s final roll call has them all introduce themselves with the Badass Boast they used from their past focus episodes.
  • The monarchs note that the Shugods moved on their own one more time, as they did in #1 and #40, as Ultimate King-Ohger prepares to deliver the final blow to Dagded.
  • The final roll call has Gira being knocked over yet again like #5.
• Character Development: Yanma fully acknowledges that the Shugods are more than just machines when he reveals that their souls are intact, making Gira extremely glad to see.
• Checkpoint Charlie: Defied. With the threat of the Galactinsects at an end, the Kingdoms at last open their borders to one another; opening Tikyu to new avenues of cultural exchange.
• Chekhov's Gun: Vedelia's lollypop gives Kofuki the idea to use a Shugod soul as a vessel for the new King's Proof.
• Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Reinol's last words make the team realize the wishes of their citizens can power a new King's Proof.
• Combined Energy Attack: The entire citizenry of Tikyu lend their strength to the new Shugod Soul, empowering King-Ohger and allowing it to achieve its Ultimate form.
• Coup de Grâce: After Dagded is defeated by Ultimate King-Ohger, he's left on his knees before the Kings, who don't hesitate to finish him off.
• Cue the Sun: Day breaks as Dagded is defeated.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Kamejim is an absolute joke against the trio of Dethnaarok, Jeramie and Racules. Dethnaarok gets the privilege of dragging the schemer to Hakabaka personally.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: The Ohsama Sentai manage to finally kill off Dadged for good thanks to the combined forces of the people's will, the Shugods' Heroic Sacrifice and stone-cold determination. King-Ohger even literally punches out Dadged as its final attack, so hard it shatters the fabric of reality.
• Dragged Off to Hell: Kamejim's beatdown ends with Dethnaarok dragging him to Hākabāka where he faces the same punishment as Grodie.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: With Dagded and Kamejim's deaths, the Galactinsects have been defeated, finally freeing Tikyū from their grasp. Sometime later, Shugoddam is completely restored to its former glory and Tikyū as a whole is in a state of peace. While the Shugods sacrifice their physical bodies to destroy Dagded for good, their souls are fine and Yanma's already planning to build them new bodies.
• "Eureka!" Moment: Vedelia gives Kofuki a lollypop before she suddenly disappears. Thanks to the revelations from prior events, he realizes they can create a Shugod soul to store the King's Proof.
• Explosive Overclocking: The Shugods push themselves so far beyond their limits that they burst into flames. They use these flames to badly burn Dagded before punching him so hard that it shatters reality at the cost of their physical bodies.
• Final Boss, New Dimension: The final battle with Dagded sees Ultimate King-Ohger grow to match his scale and the fight being taken to his 'bed room' between the two now universe-sized combatants. While Dagded is killed back on Tikyu, it's only a Coup de Grâce.
• Grand Finale: Of the series as a whole, as it is the culmination of the war between the Galactinsects and Tikyu, along with wrapping up the storylines from Part I and II.
• Here We Go Again!:
  • Gira can't help but be a little bemused as his fellow monarchs bicker again over something as simple as the name of the new united kingdom of Tikyu.
  • The end has the Ohsama Sentai assemble to take arms once again against an unknown circumstance as the protectors of Tikyū.
• Heroic Sacrifice: The Shugods sacrifice their physical bodies to stop Dagded. Yanma does tell Gira that they can be rebuilt one day, as their souls are still intact.
• Hopeless with Tech: During the computer classes in Toufu, a Kuroko is shown to be this. The Sanagim sitting next to him shows him how it's done!
• Humiliation Conga: Kamejim gets subjected to one when Jeramie, Racules, and Dethnaarok tag team him, curb-stomping him until Dethnaarok physically drags Kamejim into Hākabāka.
• Karmic Death: When Kamejim fights Jeramie, the latter simply says there's a more fitting opponent and leaves him at the mercy of both Dethnaarok and Racules.
• Killed Off for Real: Dagded and Kamejim finally kick the bucket.
• Negatives as a Positive: After dealing with Dagded, the kingdoms abolish their borders and start the epilogue discussing full unification. They don't get very far on the name and start bickering, but Gira figures it's better that way.
  Jeramie: (narrating) It seems the great resolution...ended up a bit of a farce. And yet, funnily enough, no one seemed to regret it in the end.
• Pre-Mortem One-Liner:
  • Racules has this to say to Kamejim before he ruthlessly takes him down:
    Racules: Millennia of resentment... Will be delivered by this sword! Now kneel!
  • Gira has one thing to say before he and the other King-Ohgers kill Dagded:
    Gira: Let me hear you scream!
• Rasputinian Death: Dagded is blasted and bashed numerous times, punched into the air, slammed into the side of his bed room so hard it cracks, then crushed against the side hard enough to begin cratering it from the raw force alone while King-Ohger burns him alive, punched so hard it shatters his entire room (which is a barrier around the entire universe), and finally dies when the King-Ohgers all attack his true form at once.
• Theme Song Power Up: The theme song plays as everyone creates the new King's Proof.
• Title Drop: Gira yells out his team's and the show's name before getting knocked down by his team.
• Title-Only Opening: As with other finales in the franchise.
• We Can Rebuild Him: Discussed. The Shugods' physical bodies may have been destroyed in the final battle, but given that their Shugod Souls are intact (including Kuwagon's within Gira), Yanma states that all they need would be to make new bodies for them in the future.
• "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue:
  • Shuggodom was eventually rebuilt to its former glory.
  • The countries have united under one banner, sharing their cultures with one another (The kings are still working on a proper name though).
  • With peace restored, Racules is now serving a proper prison sentence in Gokkan with Suzume supporting him.
• Whole-Plot Reference: The battle between Ultimate King-Ohger and Daged bares some similarities to the finale of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and it's Lagann Hen adaption, both combatants having each grown to the size of an universe and duking it outside reality.

Jeramie: The sequel is for some other time. But rest assured, the fact that you are listening to my story now means that the Ohsama Sentai have protected Tikyu to the end. I have a request for you, the listener: I want you to create the sequel. Just like the stars in the universe are connected, producing a story that becomes a constellation, I want you to spin a tale that connects lives. Never give up on a happy ending. I leave to you a story that may continue for all time... or so it says.
