Summary
SAY HELLO TO [THEIR] "LITTLE" FRIEND! No seriously, this ain't no joke, it really is their "little" friend!
Setchan: Previously on…
(Cutanner and Ricky, with diamonds for eyes, pop up)
All: ...Zenkaiger!
Setchan: The Tozitend enforcer, Hakaizer, turned out to be Kaito's father, Professor Isao!
Kaito... everyone... we have to save him!
(Cutanner and Ricky, with diamonds for eyes, pop up)
All: ...Zenkaiger!
Setchan: The Tozitend enforcer, Hakaizer, turned out to be Kaito's father, Professor Isao!
Kaito... everyone... we have to save him!
Kaito accepts the fact that Hakaizer is his father, Isao, and tells the pirates his intentions to get him back. Zocks, who had been feeling the personality of Kaito in Hakaizer for some time, is hardly surprised at the revelation, and agrees to work with him for that. Meanwhile, Bikkuribakonote Wald, is causing unpleasant surprises to occur across the city. Zocks takes on Bikkuribako Wald mano a mano, thinking his opponent is easy to defeat. As they confront each other in a style unique to these pirates, suddenly an uninvited guest bursts his way onto the battlefield.
Tropes
- Call-Back: Vroon's Detachable Lower Half happens when he fires the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon, a trait of his that hasn't been used since Episode 4.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: Zocks resorts to using this after kidnapping Bikkuribako Wald, having him tied up and hung above a bed of large spikes while Flint, Cutanner and Ricky tickle him with feather dusters, until Bikkuribako Wald could call Hakaiser. Kaito is less than thrilled when he finds out about this.
- Out-Gambitted: The Goldtsuikers' plan to abduct Bikkuribako Wald to use him as bait to draw out Hakaiser works against them when the Wald's other ability (changing his harmless surprises to harmful ones) manifests, which Barashitara had apparently been counting on.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
- How do the Zenkaigers transforms despite Bikkuribako Wald's flowers getting in the way of Geartlinger's main function? They all get in a circle and hold down the visor for the next person to transform. Even Zocks gets on the action, doing the whole transformation dance despite Kaito having to hold down the Geardailinger's main function.
- Flint ends up passing out in the midst of the warehouse fire, with the Kikanoid Zenkaigers giving her much needed medical attention with Sentai Gear #23 (Kyūkyū Sentai GoGoV).
- Zenkai Juran originally intended to use the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon, however as the Finishing Move activates he starts getting cold feet over the potential recoil, making him hand it over to Zenkai Vroon to handle it better.
- Despite the Zenkaigers holding Zenkai Vroon down when he fires the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon, they all forgot he has a Detachable Lower Half, resulting in his upper half being blasted away by the recoil since they only held onto his lower half.
