Episode 21:

Someone narrates the events of last episode (Yellow?) as Red, Cyan, and Orange assault Scorpio, stunning the assassin. He enflames himself to destroy his mask and unleashes flaming energy cutters from his staff. Orange starts getting weak as Scorpio points out his own venom is killing him followed by kicking the three of them. Black shows up to help, everyone happily shocked. Some banter between Black and Orange followed by the four transforming and posing. After the opening, Ryuteioh uses a string-like Super Galaxy to end the other tsuyoi and moraimarz from last episode. The others continue to fight Scorpio with Orange dueling him alone- Wait a second how is it so cloudy when it has been sunny for so long? What lazy reshooting am I seeing here? Eventually Orange lands the final blow which results in Scorpio exploding- Now wait, he's just dying. Orange holds his brother in his arms, Scorpio admits he let power blind him and allows his brother to finish him off. Scorpio uses his tail stinger to take Orange's venom, resulting in his old human-like self. In his last moments he tells his brother he has great friends, returns the kyu globes, and Orange replies they are the best friends he could have asked for. A hologram of Don Armage appears to have Madoko activate all the moraimarzes. On the Orion we see a map of earth and there must be at least a couple hundred of those world wide. Planetium is being sucked dry and Don Armage sends out a purple energy ball which Scorpio grabs and stops. The Kyurangers run for it as Scorpio dies sacrificing himself to save the Kyurangers.

Black asks if Orange is alright and he replies that his brother will not die in vain. The Orion is suddenly attacked when Red calls for the voyagers. Ryuteioh is sent to rescue them while the others summon the Argo. The three kyu globes are close together, it is somehow night, a new kyu globe is used, and from the constellation a beam of light shines on a river to manifest the Argo- And it's day again. Orange comments Don Armage might have know Argo was on Earth before the four of them investigate the Argo which looks more like a haunted house than a fancy ship. A coffin is spotted at an alter while the Orion is swarmed by moaiders. Ornge recognizes the coffin as a cold sleep coffin, both him and Red press a button to open it. Inside it is a hairy being with a sword, proclaiming the legend will begin as he attacks the Kyurangers. Red eventually talks him down, but this fails. Some grappling ensues that goes nowhere, the hairy guy fires an energy cutter from his sword, and the four transform. Once they say they are Kyurangers hairy guy calms down and is in shock. Suddenly he gets friendly as this guy mentions he is from Earth. Hairy guy is shown the moraimarzes killing the Earth and he uses his sword to summon fire to shave himself. Using a kyu globe he turns into Hooh Knight, shocking the others. Purple is soon informed about this as Hooh Knight attacks indavers and a pair of tsuyois. A Big Moraimarz and a swarm of moaiders attack, but he destroys the fighters with ease, jumping around and slicing them around. STOP BEING AO AWESOME! One slic later the Big Moraimarz is one shooted, forcing the main moraimarzes to shut down. Madoko appears, HoohKnight takes her on, and he easily destroys her. Hooh Knight calls himself the legendary savior and walks off. At dusk we see Orange burying his brother using his staff as a grave marker, mourning his loss while the other celebrate on the Orion that Black is back. Cyan reveals Orange made a bunch of plushies based on everyone while Black was being repaired with Cyan making one of him just as he walks back in. Orange apologizes for his behavior and walks off awkwardly. The episode ends with Purple wondering about the legendary savior. Next episode shows Hooh Knight hitting on Pink, dueling with Yellow, and the premier of Gigant Hooh.

Episode 22:

After a recap of last episode the Kyurangers talk about Hooh Knight a bit. Kyulette is done followed by Hooh Knight showing up on the Orion's looking glass with the Argo docked next to it. Hooh Knight boards the inside to everyone's amazement. He claims he is a legend until Cyan tells him he never heard of him. According to Hooh Knight he was the first human to travel beyond the moon, found a kyu globe, and united the world under his rule. Orange asks how long he has been asleep and he replies that it has been 300 years. Orange notes that Don Armages has always been around which causes Hooh Knight to shudder a little. He tells them they are good saviors so far and are worthy of legends, Red points out they are here to save the universe and not just help him. Pink gets complimented for her beauty which turns her into an instant fangirl. He heads out, Pink following him with Yellow going to keep an eye on them. Hooh Knight goes around asking people if they know him to get constant rejection. He thinks the Jark Matter erased him from memory while we see a malistrate named Manavil teaching a class of underlings how to invade and that Don Armage is great. Hooh Knight interrupts the presentation saying he has found those who rewrote history followed by transforming and fighting. Manavil is overwhelmed with Pink and Yellow joining the fray. Hooh Knight wonders why they are fighting since it is not their duty. Pink gets hurt while Manavil uses a move that forces all of Yellow's weapons to hurt Hooh Knight. The others show up to drive the malistrate off while Hooh Knight tells them they are not suited for battle. Orange tells them that a moraimarz is over pressurized and is about to explode. Hooh Knight gives Green a kyu globe and walks off like a jackass. Pink tries to get him to understand only for Hooh Knight to hear her internal circuitry. Yellow thinks they are kissing and flip out while the others spot the glowing moraimarz. Cyan uncovers a plaque for a laboratory with Hooh Knight's name on it. Meanwhile he reveals to Pink that her designs came from him so he knows she is not suited for combat. The others fight indavers lead by a tsuyoi, transforming while fighting. Manavil was attempting a sneak attack which Hooh Knight anticipated and ruined just as grunts appear. Yellow and Pink fight on and Hooh Knight tells them to show him their power as they transform to fight Manavil (with intros, of course).

Orange tells the others the moraimarz is about to explode, Blue tries turning the valve which fails. Green uses the kyu globe Hooh Knight gave her to turn the valve which results in the moraimarz not being so pressurized. Red and Cyan slay the mooks while Pink, Yellow, and Hooh Knight fight Manavil in a junk yard which they were not in moments ago. Yellow is still under the influence of the energy balls that redirect attacks so he attacks Hooh Knight directly who easily catches on and they land a few blows on Manavil. Hooh Knight asks Manavil how Don Armage has been alive for so long, he replies wondering how it is possible he even died. The trio then use their Star Impacts to take him down resulting in badge busting and enlargement. The moraimarz goes into robot form and Hooh Knight summons the Argo to demonstrate its power starting with missiles from the bow and.... Somehow turning it into three voyagers that form into Phoenix Base out of a mountain (Denziman reference?), launching a shuttle called Phoenix Voyager, docking onto a satellite called Phoenix Station, and forming the robot Gigant Hooh. Manavil and the moraimarz attack Gigant Hooh, but they easily get beaten and slashed up followed by a Super Galaxy involving both katanas on fire that form a fiery X. Manavil fires more lasers, but Phoenix Station detaches and restrains him so Phoenix Voyager can do a flaming ram to blow him up. Purple is amazed the Argo is a giant robot while Orange wonders why Don Armage is rewriting history. Red states no matter what they will save the universe. Hooh Knight tells Yellow and Pink that he killed Don Armage before going into cold sleep. The episode ends with Don Armage summoning his three vice shoguns. The ending theme is summer festival themed, how amusing. Next episode shows a fight in a TV station.

Manavil: Powers include a saber that fires lasers and energy balls that redirect attacks

Movie:

From deep dark space comes the Geth Star which the Kyurangers try to stop. Moraiders attack the voyagers of the Kyurangers, Kyurenoh is quickly formed. Purple finds himself losing to a mysterious figure followed by some guy with a pair of swords who claims Earth will be destroyed once the Geth Star collides with it. One guy mentions obtaining the destroyer god Kerberos which frightens Purple. Red enters the hanger, but it is too late as Purple is shot and flung into space. The title appears as we flash forward to the Kyurangers on the Orion sad their commander died. Geth Star is going to collide in three days as a lot of sombering goes on, Red refuses to give up. This inspires the others although Silver wonders why he went alone. Kerberos is mentioned, Orange states it terrorized the galaxy as Hell's guard dog with planet busting power. Red thinks they can use Kerberos of Geth Star, Pink mentions three sealed stones from the Cerberus System which will revive it according to myth. Gold mentions the system is dangerous, but the Kyurangers head out anyway. Insert homage to Armageddon here. First stop is planet Husky with Red and Blue being attacked by one of the three guys from earlier named Kaaru Indaver. Red transforms Blue into a motorcycle to pursue him while transforming himself. Nice bike chase! On planet Bull we see Black, Green, and Orange being transported to a UFC cage arena with kids cheering them up as Oumo Indaver appears aka the guy that beat Purple to a pulp earlier. Green rightfully questions what the hell as they soon notice a Kerberos stone is the prize of the match. Black transforms and does his intro as the two fighters go after each other. Finally there is planet Dober where Yellow, Gold, and Silver find the Kerberos Stone only to be encountered by Geth Indaver aka the guy that killed Purple. The trio transforms just as they're being shot at and assault Geth Indaver all at once. Black handles Oumo Indaver as he finally gains the upper hand when the referee joins the fight, forcing Green to tear off the cage and both she and Orange interfere. Oumo Indaver is displeased by this as Black does an imitation rider kick to pin him down for three seconds, thereby winning and the crowd cheering. Oumo Indaver uses his chain to steal the kerberos stone while Kaaru Indaver spots another kerberos stone shooting at it while Red uses a speed booster via kyu globe to snatch it in time. Pink tells the others of this just as Yellow, Silver, and Gold are defeated. Geth indaver reveals he was once a rebellion member and even takes off his helmet. Purple caught onto him researching Keberos for sinister reasons and he was exiled which lead to him serving Jark Matter and creating the Geth Star. He tries shooting at them on maximum blast which fails because Yellow uses a kyu globe to form an energy barrier, but the kerberos stone is taken anyway as a wormhole teleports him off the planet. On Earth the ground shakes and humans are terrified. On the Orion the Kyurangers wonder if they can summon Kerberos, Red gives everyone confidence.

The three Jark Matter leaders meet the Kyurangers on Earth to fight for the sealed stones after a bit of dialogue. Fighting breaks out, three against nine. Gotta give Toei credit- Oh there's Cyan! Wait, why does Kaaru Indaver have a macuahuitl? Is he a Lizardman from Warhammer? Things look bad as Geth fires purple lightning from orbit to blast the Kyurangers into submission (I guess they don't want the last stone destroyed). Geth Indaver gets the last kerberos stone and is about to finisht he Kyurangers off when Purple arrives to shoot at the trio. Uplifting music plays as the others are surprised, Red even crying. The others rush up to hug Purple as he says he can't die without stopping Geth Indaver who promises the end of Earth. Red yells him down, saying he never found new hope. All eleven Kyurangers proceed to transform all at once with intros. Awesome. Geth Indaver is unimpressed as the heroes rush the three of them. Kaaru Indaver goes down quickly followed by Oumo Indaver. Geth Indaver holds his own until all eleven use their All Star Crashes on him. Geth Indaver uses the three stones to summon Kerberos which is a giant voyager that spews lasers at a nearby city. Geth Indaver laughs as this is the hell he has been seeking. Pink informs them Geth Star will collide in ten minutes as Purple handles Geth Indaver and tells the others to handle Kerberos. This fails as Hooh Knight sees on the Orion they need his help so he gives Red a kyu globe to take his cockpit onto Kerberos, allowing for an alternate Kyurenoh combination. Once inside Red acquires Kerberos's kyu globe and forms Kerberios. Oumo Indaver's badge breaks and he revives as a giant, fighting Kerberios and somehow teleporting to the city. Pink starts giving a countdown as Gigant Hooh appears to take down Oumo Indaver. Kerberios fires mouth beams at Geth Star which does nothing as it barely misses the moon. Red uses the shining kyu globe to enhance his power which works and causes him to grow entire kilometers. Purple and Geth agree to their final duel as they attack each other. Seconds remain until impact as all ten are in the cockpit giving their all- And now Geth Star is bigger than Earth despite being seen as Moon size? Must be the camera angle. All ten kyurangers use their positive energy to turn Earth into a kyu globe to push Geth Star away- And there's a proper angle! Yup, it's moon size and it was the camera angle. The opening theme plays as Purple and Geth Indaver use their final attacks. Gigant Hooh uses its Super Galaxy to take down Oumo Indaver just as Geth Indaver finally falls and Geth Star leaves Earth's orbit. Kerberios flies after it, withstanding energy blasts, and rams right through the space station which causes it to explode. So pretty. The people of Earth celebrate in slow motion as the kerberos stones fly off into space. The movie ends with Red saying they will save the galaxy as the ending theme from episode 22 plays.

Kaaru Indaver: Powers include a motorcycle that fires green lasers from the front, green hand lightning, and a rocket propelled macuahuitl
Oumo Indaver: Powers include wrestling moves, a chain, strength, and cold mouth mist
Geth Indaver: Powers include a sword that emits energy cutters, a double barreled laser pistol, and spawning a wormhole for teleportation, and high jumping

Episode 23:

After Yellow recaps the last ep Hooh Knight asks Yellow to cook for him while he solves the mystery of why Don Armage is still alive. Yellow finds it hard to believe as the trio finds the Jark Matter Broadcast Network. Don Armage sends out his three vice shoguns to eliminate Hooh Knight while Red has distain with Hooh Knight's attitude. Black and Gold report in via monitor as they try talking to Eris to no avail in hope to learn more about Hooh Knight. Gold asks Red to come since she likes him. Pink tells them to check Jark Matter's channel as Hooh Knight is broadcasting throughout the universe about himself, revealing he beat Don Armage. After the opening theme the Kyurangers wonder how mch truth there is to his statement. Hooh Knight finishes and awaits their next move as Mediatsuyoi appears. The trio quickly transform to deal with him as indavers do little to assist. The others show up to free some hostages and also transform to fight. The first vice shogun, named Tecchu, appears by crashing through the roof. Purple notes that if the vice shoguns are involved then Don Armage is getting serious about this. Hooh Knight fights him, Tecchu saying he does not remember him when Hooh Knight brings up if he is stronger than before. Pink gets seriously injured, forcing the rangers to retreat. Hooh Knight acts like a jackass when Red points out one of his teammates got injured. Insert "sacrfices are necessary" line here. Red is told to be his shield as Hooh Knight brought up his commrades fought to the death for him. Oh and he claims to be immortal. Red scoffs and walks off.

Gold and Red call again, this time with Red communicating with Eris asking about Hooh Knight who fixes up Pink. She asks what happened in the past while Eris mentions that he united the universe after being the first to find a kyu globe and used immortality to do it. For a while he even brought peace and gathered people from the 88 constellations aboard the Argo, one of whom gave Eris one of Argo's three kyu globes. Hooh Knight mentions he lost all his commrades and sacrificed his immortality to defeat Don Armage. Eris mentions that the crewman, Orion, placed Hooh Knight into cold sleep and likely did not finish off Don Armage. Eris thinks that if Hooh Knight and Red team up they might destroy him for good. Mediatsuyoi destroys some cars to gain attention as civilians run around. The Kyurangers show up, Red and Hooh Knight still bickering as the former mentions teamwork is super important and friends are not shields. Everyone transforms and does intros while fighting with Hooh Knight being the last to do so. Tecchu sends out a Metal Deathworm to attack the Kyurangers. Red and Hooh Knight go after it, lots of melee slashing, as the others handle Mediatsuyoi. Both are eventually forced to the same spot and the six heroes use their Star Crashes to blow them up.... Until the grow- Ooh! A moraimarz joins them! Hooh Knight uses Phoenix Voyager to launch and combine with Phoenix Station to form Gigant Hooh. Kyurenoh and Ryuteioh form soon after, making a nice 3 versus 3 kaiju match as a pair of indavers film from the ground. Gotta hand it to them, that's pretty gutsy. Super Galaxies are used on Mediatsuyoi while the moraimarz heads into orbit. Kyurenoh gives chases and destroys it in one slash while Gigant Hooh has trouble with Metal Deathworm. It cuts off both of its arms via Phoenix Station detaching and terminated via Super Galaxy. All three strike a pose while Tecchu is unimpressed. Gold and Black return to the Orion, talking ensues as Red says he won't let Hooh Knight order them around. Yellow cooks curry for hOOH Knight and he really likes it. Next episode shows the Kyurangers in a stomach and more mecha combinations.

Mediatsuyoi: Powers include high jumping and a double sided club
Metal Deathworm: Powers include high jumping, extendable whip arms, and growth
Tecchu: Powers include flight, a chained mace for the left arm....

Episode 24:

After Hooh Knight recaps recent episodes Cyan and Green start handing out Kyuranger licenses because Purple forgot to. Red doesn't want to call Hooh Knight a Kyuranger when brought up when suddenly Jark Matter attacks a city. Meanwhile, Hooh Knight wakes up from a nightmare when Yellow and Pink tell him what is going on- Why is he in a tent under a bridge? After the opening plays the Kyurangers are losing to Tecchu and a malistrate named Gabbler aka his executioner. Gabbler uses his hair to ensnare and shrink the Kyurangers into his stomach. Red is horrified and Hooh Knight transforms to fight both of them. Gabbler tries doing the same to him, but Red saves Hooh Knight. Tecchu rolls a yellow energy ball like a bowling ball which hurts them both. Don Armage tells Tecchu to withdraw as Hooh Knight is no longer immortal. Red vows to defeat him and Hooh Knight is insulted by the mention of his dead comrades. The others lose energy while inside Gabbler's stomach. On the Orion Hooh Knight tries going out to find Tecchu, Red and Purple try talking him down only to be told that not shielding him means they are useless to him. Purple points out he has a habit of doing the opposite of what he says. Hooh Knight yells on a rooftop while Red tries talking him down, saying they are both the same for wanting to save the universe- GALAXY NOT UNIVERSE! Hooh Knight starts mentioning his comrades and how they fought and died for him via flashback. In the end Don Armage survives a strong fiery slash attack and was shielded from a lightning barrage. Red points out he wants no more sacrifices just as Purple informs him the Jark Matter have showed up. Hooh Knight takes Red's kyu globe and teleports off.

The others are having their energy sucked out in Gabbler's stomach when Hooh Knight shows up to face him and Tecchu. He is quickly given the smackdown and Purple shows up in his voyager just in time. Red tells him he is not immortal anymore and not to throw away his life unless he wants his friends' sacrifices to be in vain. Pretty rousing speech actually. Hooh Knight starts coming around after more words from Purple and Red claiming they can make a new legend. Red gets his kyu globe back and the three transform and do intros. Some fighting, some bickering, Purple wonders if they'll get along, and Red and Hooh Knight fight the malistrate while Purple fights Tecchu. The others are on the brink of losing consciousness, Red uses the shining kyu globe to overpower Gabbler before he and Hooh Knight go slash happy. The others are freed from his stomach upon the explosion- Oh hey the badge revives him as a giant! Voyagers are summoned to dogfight against Gabbler with lots of missiles firing, Tecchu grows too to make things worse. The others have their kyu globes glow and grow suddenly, all of them circling Red and Hooh Knight, the latter thinking a miracles is about to occur. The kyu globes dock to form a new mecha named Kyutamajin! Gotta love the choir music for this. Kyutamajin walks forth as Tecchu somehow gains mace guns and fires them. Both Jark Matter monsters assault at once and are no match for the combined kyu globes. The fight soon ends with the Super Galaxy, Gabbler is destroyed while Tecchu retreats. Later on the Orion, Hooh Knight is given his own Kyuranger license, Red even shaking his hand. Cyan notes Pink is missing, Hooh Knight tells him she was sent to planet Tocky in the Horologium System to find a kyu globe that can control time, likely even time travel. Yellow and Pink contact the Orion stating they need to come right away. Next episode shows Cyan meeting him mom.

Gabbler: Powers include a clawed staff, tentacle hair that causes enemies to shrink
Tecchu continued: throwing yellow energy balls from the right hand, fire balls from the left arm, growing, machine guns on the left hand mace....

Episode 25:

Cyan recaps events before the Orion heads to the Holorogium System. Cyan asks Orange if they can use the kyu globe to see his mom again since she died of sickness after his brother was born. Sad music plays before they spot planet Tocky. Tecchu is fighting Yellow and Pink when all the others show up seconds later. Tecchu vows to crush them before teleporting off. During some talking Pink notes the planet acts as a giant clock with twelve keys. If all of twelve are done within thirty minutes the kyu globe will be unlocked. The kyurangers split up and as they find keys they spot various Jark Matter monsters they have fought in previous episodes. Hooh Knight thinks an explosion during Tecchu's fighting warped the planet and revived the monsters via memories. One by one the monsters are defeated although Madoko returns thanks to Tecchu somehow having pieces of here. Silver is the only one not to encounter anything which makes him wonder if he has any love in his heart. Yellow is still being attacked by the real Madoko even as Red, Blue, and Green come to assist Before long they notice there are two Madokos! ****'s getting weird! When Cyan finds the key he needs to turn it manifests his dead mom which surprises him.

The manifestation of his mom comforts him before he turns the key. Just as he does so she starts fading. Gold and Silver notice Purple is drinking with Commander Big Bear before he turns his key nd does a salute. Cyan returns his key back to position when Tecchu shows up. Cyan tries protecting his mom wen Black and Orange show up to hold him off followed by Hooh Knight. Cyan is afraid of losing his mom so he runs off. The two Madokos are dealt with once Pink shows up to help although one runs away. Cyan gives a sad speech to Hooh Knight and is unsure what to do. Hooh Knight asks him what he wants, Cyan replies to stop Jark Matter to bring peace although he wants to say goodbye to his mom. Tecchu attacks them both just as the other Madoko and the others show up. Cyan tells his mom to watch as all twelve transform and do intros with background explosions. Some shooting followed by charges as a new track plays in the background. Madoko is soon destroyed and Cyan grows big to deal with Tecchu although others help slash him up. All twelve surround the vice shogun in the shape of a star to use the Star Crash, blowing Tecchu to pieces- No, wait, he survives and enlarges. Kyutamajin is formed after the voyagers are summoned. The background changes to a moon as Tecchu goes on the assault, but fails hard. Voyagers assault him from every angle and a purple electric ball is kicked back at him followed by an uppercut. Tecchu powers up to charge his mace while the Super Galaxy launches all the kyu globes, ramming and terminating the vice shogun for good. After that Cyan's mom tells the Kyurangers to take care of his son before he turns the key. Just before she disappears he hugs her and promises to save the universe as heartwarming music plays. The kyu globe reveals itself and lands in Cyan's right hand. He gives it to Hooh Knight while Don Armage addresses his other two vice shoguns that Tecchu is dead. Both of them are up for a challenge and are told to go forth to end the episode. Next episode shows a second Silver.

Tecchu continued: teleportation, and purple electric balls from the torso

Episode 26:

Silver narrates the events of last episode, still mopey while Kyutamajin is fighting a tsuyoi and a moraimarz in robot form Silver's controls cause a brief unbalance so Hooh Knight has everyone divide their mechs back to Kyurenoh, Ryuteioh, and Gigante Hooh. All three use the Super Galaxies- Oh wait it was two tsuyois not one. Anyway, they go down, Silver acts like a mope, and a malistrate sees this as she thinks this can work against the team. Later on the Orion the Kyurangers are discussing strategy and Silver is singled out of not paying attention. He admits he is still having emotional trouble, Gold tells him he is still good, and everyone goes back to wondering what time travel will be like. The first stage is whether or not Don Armage was really defeated. Purple suggests taking a break, Green wants a barbecue which excites everyone, Yellow even offering to cook. The heroes proceed with a barbecue although Silver is still sad at his lack of emotions, mainly not even smiling. Green uses her thumbs to push up his cheeks and saying he needs to smile for himself. The malistrate, named Akyanba, shows up with a pair of tsuyois to ruin everything. Hooh Knight recognizes her as a vice shogun as she uses her staff to cause everyone to fight. The others note this is emotion tampering which catches Silver's interest. Transforming and intros are done as the rangers charge in, strangely not all twelve. Hooh Knight notes she is stronger than when he fought her before while Akyanba goes for Silver, claiming she knows he has strong emotions within himself. She offers to let them loose as the fight continues on. She offers Silver to see her for the offer as she teleports off with her two tsuyois. She makes a pun about tricking snakes at her hideout (I wish I was seeing the TV-Nihon version to get the joke) while Silver is sad on a bridge. Green tries talking to him while the others talk about him having hidden emotions. Hooh Knight mentions his species abandoned emotions and individualism long ago, Silver even mentions to Green before then his planet had constant war. Green warns him it is dangerous, but he wants emotions and the ability to smile and cry like the others. He walks off and stuns Green before running. She alerts the others of this when Purple tells them Akyanba used her powers to start riots.

Gold returns to the Orion to work on the new kyu globe while Blue harasses a guy getting a haircut. Cyan uses a kyu globe on the entire barber shop to give everyone silly hairdos while Pink has a bunch of sad people dance the ending theme song via a kyu globe. Black uses a kyu globe to put others to sheep followed by Silver meeting Akyanba in the woods. She thinks they would make a good team as she spawns illusions reflecting Silver doing emotions as he starts to choke and scream. Akyanba and Silver soon encounter the Kyurangers who are looking for him. Red tells him not to fall for it and Akyanba tells Silver to fight them who mentions it would make Gold happy. He ultimately decides to stay with Akyanba who then uses her staff to give him a black rogue and face tattoo. He proceeds to transform using his now corrupt kyu globe as he is now overjoyed to have emotions, now calling himself Metal. He starts shooting at his friends who transform to fight him. He charges toward them, firing a purple laser from his torso which knocks the others out as he claims they were mocking him- Oh wow his scarf even grabs enemies for him! Once the Kyurangers go down from an energy cutter, Metal walks off with Akyanba laughing all the way as tsuyois attack. Star Crashes deal with them as Green wonders what they will tell Balance. Later, all the Kyurangers inform him on the Orion, Green even blaming himself. Gold seems fine at first as he says the kyu globe is ready. He has the selfish request of staying in the past to save Silver, Purple points out they probably should not leave yet. Once by one they all agree to save Silver before going into the past. Pink offers piloting the Orion for the moment while Purple decides to split up and do both at once. Red, Blue, Green, Gold, and Cyan are off to save Silver while Purple leads the rest into the past, their voyagers even splitting with them. The episode ends with the Orion GO OVER TIME AND SPAAAAAACE. Next episode shows Purple's team running around messing with indavers.

Akyanba: Powers include a sonic staff that causes emotional changes, a mentally controlled throwing star, teleportation, illusion spawning....

Episode 27:

Hooh Knight narrates the events of last episode as his team GO OVER TIME AND SPACE in the Orion. Pink detects stowaways on the Orion, Purple has them split up which Hooh Knight almost ducks out. Before long indavers are spotted as the culprits. One of them loses their mask and explains to Yellow and Hooh Knight that they limit communication while mentioning they were indavers at one point. It is eventually discovered to be a five of total, Purple thinks they should be merciful as the one Hooh Knight and Yellow talk to explain how horrid it is to be an indaver so the five of them escaped onto the Orion. This came about during the barbecue, they saw from a distance. One of them even appeared in the first two episodes as Yellow narrates a clipshow of how members were recruited in the beginning episodes. Even Hooh Knight finds Yellow's tales engaging. Mecha explanations come after that followed by Purple and Black cornering a purple indaver (that is new), but failing to get him. Purple starts talking to one who is interested in joining as they have been jealous of them since Cyan joined the team. Purple then mentions how he became a Kyuranger and got Ryuteioh. On Earth, Green wonders how they will save Silver as Red mentions they all have the same goal complete with flashbacks. Gold still has faith in him which gives Green confidence.

Chasing the purple indaver continues with Black and Orange unable to grab him. Yellow uses a kyu globe to chain him up followed by explaining kyu globes via stock footage. This goes on for a while with Hooh Knight's premier being included. Four of the indavers have been found and Hooh Knight wants to lock them away, but Orange points out they can get intell. The last indaver, a red one, hijacks a monitor to take over the ship. The truth is they were under Akyanba's command. While the rangers bicker the red one explains they were created by Jark Matter and always approve of what they do to them. The goal is to stop them from achieving their destination and will become tsuyois as their reward. The Orion crashes offscreen to some grassy planet with a feather covered T-Rex appearing.... And leaving. More bickering as the red one formulates a plan HELP ME I KEEP ENJOYING MYSELF! The red one butters up Hooh Knight for how much better he is. Meanwhile, on Earth Green is still mopey and Cyan wonders how the others are doing. Blue still has trust issues with Hooh Knight, Red thinks he has changed as stock footage plays. On dino planet Hooh Knight tells the indavers to **** off as he will still fight with the others and his legend needs them. The red one thinks they will be malistrates if they win followed by intros imitating the Kyuranger intros.... And Don Armage snaps his finger in the background to create colored smoke explosions that knock them down. The Kyurangers do intros without transforming and charge in except for Purple who threw out his back. Pretty neat fight. Hooh Knight transforms and finishes the Go-Indaver squadron in one flaming cutter attack. The Orion takes off with Purple on a stretcher. The episode ends with Hooh Knight declaring they will uncover Don Armage's secret. Next episode shows Metal fighting Gold and two Blues.

Episode 28:

Red narrates recent events, Metal trains by fighting random mooks as he finds it fun. The two vice shoguns talk about Metal and his new emotions as Metal brags how awesome emotions are. Gold uses a kyu globe to extend his neck to scout the area. He is soon spotted with Akyanba causing a ruckus. The Kyurangers spot him, Metal attacks Gold and transforms to fight. A lot of energy cutters being fired. The others start changing to hold their own as the camera moves weirdly for no reason. After the intro Akyanba joins in while Metal handles Gold who tries talking sense into him. This fails hard as the others are told by Akyanba they can turn Metal back if they hurt him so bad he will forget he had emotions. Blue fights both of them until Gold holds his right foot and asks how they can fight Metal.... Who proceeds to torso eye blast them out of their costumes. He bids goodbye, preparing to fight when another member of his species holds his and the vice shogun in place via starring. Red calls his voyager to evacuate them. Akyanba wonders if she is a friend of his while the Kyurangers examine the rule 63 Silver named Echidna. She is there to retrieve Metal since having emotions is dangerous and therefore he must be slain. Gold heads off to save him while the Orion is almost at their destination. Purple recovers from back pain upon arrival as we see various warriors including Hooh Knight losing to Don Armage. They witness Kuervo being zapped and Hooh Knight charging forth, slicing Don Armage down the head. This confirmed he beat Don Armage as the planet is about to explode. The Orion leaves as the others wonder about the one in the present when the ship is under attack.

Gold is depressed on a swing as he flashes back to the day he stole treasure on Silver's planet and took him with him so he could one day feel emotions and find joy as seen in a flashback. Gold used that idea as a get away and would show him over time. Red points out that without that selfish act they would have never met and be happy alongside him. Green even points out that Gold cares for him which makes him realize they should still save him. Echidna watches this while Metal and Akyanba act crazy. Gold tells him he is going to save them, Metal says he will kill them followed by transforming. The others transform and do intros before jumping toward the vice shogun and Metal. Gold handles Metal while the others fight Akyanba who reiterates they need to hurt him badly. Red uses the shining kyu globe while Gold and Metal keep up their duel. Gold eventually pins Metal who hesitates to shoot him until he points his gun up into the air so they are both showered in a barrage of energy shots. Metal still forces Gold away thinking Gold is betraying him. Akyanba laughs as she reveals she lied about hurting him doing anything as the effects are permanent. Akyanba helps Metal up and teleports off as two tsuyois grow and fire at them. Red uses a kyu globe to make doubles of Green then Blue so multiple of their voyagers are also summoned, Cyan commenting he was not sure if that would work as Kyurenoh forms. After some melee, the Super Galaxy destroys both tsuyois. Later, the Kyurangers discuss what to do as Echidna still demands elimination. Red refuses this and Gold says he will bring him back. A strange wave is felt as the Orion's distress signal is detected so the rangers run off. They spot the Orion with moss all over it as the episode ends with the others defeated by a mysterious man in white. Next episode shows the others fighting the man in white and a Deathworm.

Episode 29:

Red narrates the events of last episode before the team boards the dilapidated Orion. Some discussion of what happened ensues, Red says they will have to go back to the past despite the others protesting. He goes while Gold says they will deal with Metal. Red launches in his voyager through time, Blue thinks he will be fine. Red arrives 333 years in the past just after the Orion crashes, the kyu globe disappears as he sees the others passed out. A man in white appears named Orion who Eris mentioned. Orion saves Red from a Deathworm and both of them fight it off. However, it eats some kyu globes and heads underground. Red promises to get it back followed by him and Orion telling each others' stories. Orion is in disbelief Don Armage survived and Hooh Knight wakes up saying it is true. Everyone wakes up, Black confirming Don Armage brought them down. In a flashback we see the Kyurangers leaving the Orion and Don Armage firing a purple energy blast from his right hand to knock them out. The ship shakes, all three vice shoguns are revealed to be the culprits. Orion goes after them with Red backing him up as the others prepare for take off. Red transforms although Orion wants him to stand aside. Strong club! Red uses the shining kyu globe long enough for the Orion to blast off and Red teleports himself and Orion back.... And that was all just a hologram. Red informs them that the time traveling kyu globe can only be used once. Red says the need to beat Don Armage while Orion points out the crew of the Argo died trying to fight him and that they should wait to replenish their forces. Red goes by himself as Orion sits at a riverside. Him and Hooh Knight talk about Red who he mentions lit a fire under him. Also Orion apparently has a son that was just born, making him a family man. Hooh Knight heads off with the others much to Orion questioning it.

Red faces the vice shoguns and a garrison of indavers, transforming and charging at the mooks. The vice shoguns charge in soon after, easily overwhelming Red as the other Kyurangers jump in to fight. Orion looks on in the background as everyone does quips. There is a neat first person shot with Purple during this. The vice shoguns start fighting which causes the rangers to lose their costumes thanks to Kukuruga imitating Daigenguard's giant blade attack. Yeah I referenced Super Robot Wars, now get over it. Red yells at them and Orion blocks an energy cutter hurled their way. Orion tells Red his words gave him faith so they all transform again, this time with intros. Tecchu grows in size, forcing Purple, Pink, and Yellow to call for Ryuteioh. The other two are promptly fought by the others, Orion fighting alongside Red as both use finishing moves on Akyanba which pisses her off as she claims Don Armage owns the universe. Red and Orion yell that they disagree as a bright light appears that gives them hope. More fighting continues and Akyanba is eventually destroyed. Gigante Hooh is summoned to help Ryuteioh as it is having trouble with Tecchu. Both Super Galaxies are used to terminate Tecchu followed by everyone surrounding Kukuruga until Don Armage in dark cloud form stops them. He manifests and everyone uses the Star Crash at once. He shoots through Red's stomach, knocking him out. The episode ends with Don Armage finally revealing his true form, cloakless and looking like a Black Hand member from Berserk. Nobody is annoying as Casca so it is unlikely anyone will become a birdhouse for a Gatchaman cosplayer. Next episode shows a lot of fighting and a new white Kyuranger.

Episode 30:

Hooh Knight narrates the events of last episode as Don Armage easily deals with the Kyurangers, severely injuring them. Hooh Knight states they need to run, Don Armage fires a laser from his scythe, Orion erects and enegry barrier, and Red's voyager allows them to escape. Red is on an operating table with Pink and Yellow finishing what they could. Hooh Knight thinks there is more going on, Orion leaves in private as we see he was badly wounded at the right side of his abdomen. He looks over Red, remembering the fight from last episode as Hooh Knight and him talk about using his kyu globe. Kukuraku leads indavers toward the ship, Purple has the others prepare for combat. Yellow mentions if Orion dies then nobody will know about Hooh Knight's legend. Hooh Knight tells Orion to stay near Red as he, Yellow, Orange, and Black attack the Jark Matter. Purple and Orion talk about using Hooh Knight's kyu globe which could cost him his life. Kukuraku retreats via teleporting followed by Hooh Knight wondering if he should use his kyu globe. He remembers when he got it, stranded through space and running out of air. Red suddenly gets up and tells him not to die for him, Hooh Knight replies that he has no intention of dying since they are saving the universe together. They get him back to sick bay to lay down, Hooh Knight and Orion keep talking to each other about him being powerful and from the Leo System. The Jark Matter send another squad toward the ship, Orion wants to join so Purple sends everyone but himself and Pink out as Hooh Knight uses energy from his kyu globe on Red. Don Armage leads the charge with Kukuraku at his side- Oh I guess Purple is joining. The Kyurangers transform and charge forward with Orion compelte with quips and lots of fog. No, really, how did it get so foggy out? Hooh Knight slowly tires trying to help Red as he keeps releasing energy toward him. Don Armage fires a dark energy beam to weaken them while Red arrives to the battlefield in slow motion. Hooh Knight is too weak to fight, but survives with Pink holding him up. Red gives a rousing speech while Don Armage compares him to a cockroach while proclaiming he owns the universe followed by being told off. A new kyu globe is formed, Orion telling Red he is his descendant- What funky ass kyu globe- Supreme Kyu Globe it's called. He transforms and it is FABULOUS and white, Orion Leo Red.

Kukuraku uses his Sanger Sevolt attack only for a dimensional portal to hurt him with his own weapon and getting one offed in a single slash. Red is impressed by his new power, Orion says it can create a new future. Don Armage revives his vice shoguns in the background as giants followed by Kyurenoh and Gigante Hooh being summoned, the former having Purple in the cockpit who likes it. Red fights Don Armage as Orion slowly succumbs to his injuries. Red summons the individual weapons of his teammates and uses them in one barrage. Don Armage claims to be invincible, but Red challenges the notion as he continues his assault. The Super Galaxies take down the vice shoguns in a fiery explosion followed by Red turning the sky to night and using the All Star Galaxy, a miniature star barrage, to blow up Don Armage. It starts to rain as Orion passes away, a grave being made for him. Pink realizes that without Orion the legend of Hooh Knight would not exist and by extension the Kyurangers. Purple volunteers to stay behind to fulfill the duties as a commander. Black volunteers to stay too so the rangers salute each other and go their separate ways. On the present day the others spot Green in a deserted city as she points to a giant monitor with Metal and Don Armafge laughing, The episode ends with Red wondering what happened. Next episode shows Metal fighting Gold and growing big.

Episode 31:

Red narrates the events of last episode as the others explain to Green what happened, wondering why nothing changed. Green hears about Purple and Black staying around and Red points out they cannot start getting depressed now. After more talking we see Cyan and Blue chained up with Akyanba and Metal laughing maniacally. Echidna makes herself known on the Orion telling them about Silver needing execution for having emotions.... And then leaving just as Gold returns. He shows them a kyu globe before the opening plays. Metal fights Echidna at the famous sentai quarry, the former loving the emotion of rage as he uses his powers to almost make Echidna shoot herself. The others show up followed by indavers, Gold takes a beating from Metal who soon attempts to use a black hole on him only for Red to block a black hole. Huh, I guess this is why /m/ thinks Red is a gary stu? Yellow and Green think he is dead while Metal teleports off, maniacally laughing. Echidna states this was due to hesitation and Hooh Knight acts cocky as Yellow explains that Akyanba's emotion powers are derived from making indavers small and implanting them into the brains of others. Gold used a kyu globe that made him and Red microscopic so they could enter Metal's body. Everyone heads back to the Orion to monitor Red and Gold as they fight indavers in his brain. Hooh Knight, Yellow, and Green encounter Akyanba at some ruins. Gold sees Silver who is restrained like Majin Buu was inside of Super Buu, Microtsuyoi guarding him. A duplicate of Metal is spawned who transforms to fight Gold who also transforms. Blue and Cyan try talking sense into Metal who really likes having emotions as he feels the fighting in his brain (even though brains do not have pain receptors in them). Metal tries to kill the duplicate of Silver, Gold blocks the energy cutter and falls down.

Metal heads outside where Akyanba has the others on the ropes. Metal and Gold exchange words, the latter mentioning how Silver is his friend. Green hugs Metal as he suffers followed by Yellow, Akyanba taunting them while two tsuyois handle Hooh Knight. Orange apparently untied Blue and Cyan off screen as they start yelling his name along with Red. Silver starts to remember, his memories overwhelm the Metal duplicate in his brain. Eventually the brain version of Silver fights back against Metal, proclaiming those were not the emotions he wanted to feel with his friends. With one slash the duplicate is reduced to particles and on the outside Metal sheds a tear that releases Red and Gold as he turns back to his old self. Green welcomes him back as heartwarming music plays and Silver begins to cry. Microtsuyoi breaks his badge to grow.... To human size. The Kyurangers proceed to transform and do intros. Fighting ensues, Akyanba being easily taken down as Red demonstrates his portal powers. So much fighting. The Star Crash from Gold and Silver destroy Microtsuyoi which Hooh Knight, Yellow, and Green destroy the tsuyois. Gold passes out from exhaustion as Silver transforms into Metal again, this time with control over his rage as he prepares a black hole with Red using his star crash. The combo attack damages Akyanba who flees. Before Microtsuyoi explodes he uses the last of his powers to make a giant version of Metal! Kyutamajin is formed, Metal tries to damage it to no avail as Silver and Gold shoot at it followed by the Super Galaxy destroying it in one hit. On the Orion Silver apologizes as does Silver. Blue tells them to buck up as they all accept him back. Gold even his tears sticking to his face as he is glad Silver is okay. Echidna walks away, saying emotions are unnecesary but because they make Silver strong she asks him to save the universe before leaving. Silver also found out where Don Armage is while Pink realizes that the Orion is permanently inoperable. Next episode shows objects bouncing around and Orion flying from Kyutamajin.

Microtsuyoi: Powers include creating microscopic copies of those he infects via hand beams and blue hand energy blasts
Akyanba continued: super speed

Episode 32:

Don Armage calls for all malistrates to terminate the Kyurangers and whoever succeeds will be promoted to vice shogun. Akyanba and Kukuraku are afraid, forcing the latter to call for a malistrate named Dogyun. During this Silver reveals Don Armage is in or around the Crux System. Yellow asks Pink how repairs are doing which causes her to be nerous until a monitor shows a moraimarz exploding and people running. Dogyun is attacking civilians and- Why is everyone complaining Hooh Knight is in Purple's chair. A weird ass musical is done for kyulette. The five are chosen and head out, soon reaching the scene as random objects bounce around with indavers assisting him. The narrator leads the scene into the opening theme. Red and Hooh Knight fend of Dogyun until he starts telekinetically throwing machines as he brags how he is the best scientist in the universe. Red fights him alone as the others get trapped by machines in embarassing matters when Pink suddenly shows up to save him. Dogyun flees and Red asks Pink why he let him run away. Pink states they could use him to repair the Orion. Hooh Knight points out he is using a matrix goo that makes electric circuitry go berserk. Hooh Knight mentions he would be good at biology, not mechanical repair. Orange points out they could stop moraimarzes with it, some bickering ensues, Pink mentions the Orion is an important ship, and she flees. The others think Hooh Knight was too harsh when Gold calls them back.

Gold tells the others the Orion might never move again, Hooh Knight fails to care while Yellow tells him it means something to them. Pink is sad on a playground as Yellow flashesback to when it was just the two of them navigating a magnetic storm. Ever since then Pink believes the Orion saved them. Hooh Knight wonders if she can still be a Kyuranger and Red goes out to talk to her. The others spot Dogyun being a jackass and has told them he has set five moraimarzes to violently explode so they transform and charge in. Red finds Pink at the playground while the fighting is going on. Kukuraku joins the fray as Cyan points out they only have five minutes left. Red tells Pink Yellow told them about the magnetic storm. Sad music plays as Pink loses confidence in herself, Red says she should still believe in miracles like she did before. She calls the Orion a teammates and is unsure what to do. Red tells her she will save the universe and that Orion would like that. At the same time we see the others being mauled by Kukuraku and Dogyun, the former teleports off and the latter about to finish them off. Dogyun expects explosions when Red and Pink show up. Pink explains she flew, grabbing Red, and both of them kept shooting matrix goo. Pink tells the others she can still fight as a Kyuranger followed by Dogyun cursing them. The rangers transform and do intros, Dogyun charges in only to get overwhelmed with Pink doing the most damage. Yellow, Gold, and Cyan tell the ship just how hard its crew is fighting. Shortly after that, Star Crashes are used on Dogyun followed by badge busting and enlargement then Kyutamajin forming. The monitor gives out due to lack of power. The malistrate emits his matrix goo which fails to do anything. Kyutamajin punches him up when he uses a projectile that looks like a Gespenst missile from Super Robot Wars is launched in the air raining matrix goo, causing the five moraimarzes- NOW THERE ARE TEN!? NICE EDITING THERE, TOEI! They head into orbit to merge together, forming a Big Moraimarz to collide with the Earth. Kyutamajin uses its engine boost to destroy Dogyun followed by going into space to use the Super Galaxy to destroy- Nope! Pink gives a rousing speech that they are saviors and the Orion is somehow operational with Yellow, Gold, and Cyan teleported to the cockpits. The Orion flies around in orbit despite being on Earth merely seconds prior. It rams into the big moraimarz and explodes, everyone being saddened by this. The final shot of the Orion has it losing its club and sending a message that says "Good Luck". Pink does a salute in her sorrow. That night all the Kyurangers look up, commenting about Orion being a good thirteenth member and that they had good memories with it. Red promises they will fight for it and beat Don Armage. The episode ends with Purple looking at a vehicle stating preparations are almost complete. Next episode shows Red and Hooh Knight finding a club, the return of Eris, and the premier of Orion Battler

Kukuraku: Powers include hand blasts, teleportation, an extendable energy sword, a left arm electric gun....
Dogyun: Powers include controlling machines via purple goo matrix spawned from the hand, a hammer, a claw, a set of pliers, fist pounds that create short range shockwaves, and a prod

Episode 33:

No narration, just the opening theme! After that change of pace Hooh Knight talks about finding Don Armage although Yellow reminds them they have no ship. Just when hijacking a moraimarz comes up Eris teleports out of nowhere. Why? Purple told her to show up at the time. She hands Red a kyu globe which has a message from Purple on it saying he made a new version on Orion that is somewhere on Earth he forgot about. Hooh Knight mentions that Orion made a ship as the ultimate weapon against the Jark Matter. Meanwhile, Kukuraku is angry the Kyurangers are existing when a malistrate named Twistler shows up, acting like a total suck up. Red and Hooh Knight explore a forest where Orion's grave is spotted, the former lifting his club to rest it on the grave marker. Blue and the others find a cave and all of them meet up in said cave. Kukuraku, Twistler, and some indavers attack them, the fight soon leads to outside because why have a variety of fight scenes? Twistler uses his powers to twist projectiles and twist the Kyurangers out of their costumes. Yellow, Green, and Gold form new and twisted personalities that make them haughty and slows things down by a lot. Kukuraku and Twistler teleport off, likely out of annoyance. Pink informs them that the Battle Ship Orion has been spotted and Silver uses a kyu globe to put them to sleep. Everyone meets up again where the ship is.

Pink is so happy it is like the old Orion and Cyan spots a cold sleep chamber. Upon pressing the button Purple greets them and steps out. During the 300 years he spread the legend throughout the "universe" (IT'S A FUCKING GALAXY NOT A UNIVERSE!) complete with travels and a giant monster that looks like Monstro from Pinocchio. They are suddenly attacked by a big moraimarz and three regular ones. Purple realizes they cannot activate the ship yet so Red and Hooh Knight go after a kyu globe. The trio wakes up and Silver follows them. Hooh Knight uses his mechs to deal with the regular moraimarzes who go into robot form. Red faces Twistler and Kukuraku when the others show up to be assholes. Transforming happens, Red faces Kukuraku one on one, it goes badly for him- Oh hey that electric arm gun absorbs energy attacks. Gigante Hooh takes a moraimarz down via sword flames while the Battle Ship Orion keeps shaking. Kukuraku and Red exchange words as the latter grabs Orion's club which spots an electric gun bolt.... That causes the area to be in flames. The club begins to glow witht he supreme kyu globe when Red is teleported to a bright area. Orion tells him he can master this new weapon and grab hold of the future before returning to the battle. The Orion kyu globe is used which spawns a new Orion Voyager. Kukuraku flees while the voyager attaches to the battle ship via burrowing underground. The power is on and Pink drives it out of the cave and toward the surface. It starts flying to everyone's awe and in a homage to Space Battleship Yamato's Wave Motion Gun destroys the big moraimarz in one hit. Red joins up with those fighting Twistler, some reverse psychology gets everyone working together and doing intros. Twistler gets assaulted while Battle Ship Orion fires Orion Missiles from the cannon base and Gigante Hooh uses the Super Galaxy to destroy the other two moraimarzes. Twistler states he will become a vice shogun while the others mock him. Hooh Knight joins in the Star Crashes which undoes all the twisting. After lackluster "what were we doing" comedy we see Twistler being enlarged via badge breaking. Red turns into Leo Red, teleports onto the Orion Voyager, and a transformation sequence is done to form the new Orion Battler. After implication that Orion's soul is in the head, Twistler twists four power lines fo create a boxing arena. This does not help him as Battle Orion wades through everything he can dish out. Red has trouble controlling him and props to the camera department for making Orion's swings appear so strong. The Orion Dynamic Strike, which involves an explosive energy kyu globe being struck, is used to terminate Twistler. In orbit, all he voyagers are stored and everyone gets acquainted with the new ship. Yellow also makes a big deal of Silver cooking for the first time. Orange asks Purple where Black is, he mentions after being put into cold sleep he went to find Professor Anton. The episode ends with both vice shoguns holding Black hostage as he is shut down. Next episode shows Black in a red wrestler mask.

Twistler: Powers include twisting objects and personalities and an energy cannon

Episode 34:

Orange narrates the events of last episode followed by the two vice shoguns reactivating Black. During this the Kyurangers head out for the Crux System and Gold shrinks down into Silver's brain to retrieve information (he consented). Orange wonders about Black when Kukuraku starts electric blasting them in orbit from the ground (talk about accuracy). The rangers head out to fight him as he unveils his new toy which arrives via a pod: He has Black! He attacks his former teammates, Yellow and Green get wounded in the process. A second Black shows up with a red wrestler mask, jumping from a rooftop to fight. This confuses the others as Black goes by another name. Fighting breaks out between the two, the first Black is revealed to be a Jark Matter weapon named Bovine Unit 00. Cyan evacuates Yellow and Green while the others keep on fighting. Masked Black starts going out of control, accidentally hurting Blue and Orange. Red and Hooh Knight fend off Kukuraku which only gets them beaten up. Red uses the shining kyu globe so they can escape.

Blue and Orange try getting Black to calm the hell down which works. He barely remembers what happened, thinking he ran wild again and telling them they are thinking of his wrestler buddy. Apparently him and Unit 00 have a history he does not want the Kyurangers to be a part of. Orange tells the others he'll handle it when they contact him on the Orion. Hooh Knight thinks Unit 00 is the prototype of Black. Meanwhile, masked guy is annoyed by Orange an Blue so he tells them what happened. After Black put Purple into cold sleep he went to see Anton who had a lot of cybernetic enhancements. Black found out Professor Anton was a Jark Matter scientist, confirming what Scorpio said some episodes back. Black went running wild after that, Orange wonders why he never came home. Masked guy says it was out of respect since he discovered he was not made as a robot of justice. Blue finds that as horse manure when Unit 00 and Kukuraku show up. Orange and Blue transform only to get shot.... Soon reverting out of their costumes. Masked guy tells the duo to run and they refuse, Orange even being inspired by what Black said to him. Kukuraku wants them to keep fighting when Red missile blasts him and Unit-00 via his voyager. Him and Hooh Knight join the fray and masked guy takes off his mask- HE WAS BLACK THIS ENTIRE TIME! WHY DID HE LIE ABOUT HIS IDENTITY!? Actually, no, it makes sense- Oh hey Cyan is there too. After Kukuraku groans the six of them transform and do intros. Kukuraku snaps his fingers to summon a pair of moraimarzes followed by Ryuteioh being formed to fight them. Fighting continues on ground level- Oh hey an Ultraseven Eye Slugger homage! Black starts going berserk and Blue kicks him for lying. Black thanks him while Red, Cyan, and Hooh Knight keep fighting Kukuraku, the supreme kyu globe is soon called into action. The Star Crashes are used at maximum power with Cyan and Hooh Knight giving out. However, Red says his power has no limits as he holds off Kukuraku long enough for Cyan and Hooh Knight to slash him. Black forces Unit-00 near Kukuraku and more melee assaults ensue before the Star Crashes and Super Galaxy are used at the same time, resulting in Unit-00 and Kukuraku being forced to enlarge (the latter via badge destruction) and both moraimarzes going down. Gigante Hooh, Kyurenoh, and Battle Orion are summoned with Pink keeping Silver stable. Four again two in this fight! Pretty one sided though, but in an awesome way. All four mechs use energy cutters at the same time followed by Red turning Battle Orion into ship form and using him like a giant sentai bazooka with the three first mecha holding it. This is awesome. Unit-00 and Kukuraku are zapped- Wait, not explosion!? Silver sneezes out Gold after the fight who states he has the exact location. Some coordinations later indicate he is on Planet Southern Cross (pretty bad 80s mecha anime I must say). Everyone is happy and Orange tells Black not to blab about his berserking, Blue telling him he will be fixed soon. The episode ends with Battle Ship Orion flying with its treads still moving. Next episode shows Green as an idol with her teammates as dancers.

Bovine Unit 00: Powers include strength, a right shoulder laser cannon, a machine gun, energy cutters from the mohawk, and size changing
Kukuraku continued: purple energy beams from the right hand

Episode 35:

Green narrates the events of last episode as she and Yellow prepare a meal for everyone. She overhears Minati being mentioned and geeks out. This guy is a massive pop star with an afro and antennae. Silver mentions Akyanba said similar things to Minati's lyrics, Pink mentiosn reports of fans losing control easily. The ruler of Space Ryugu Palace is mentioned via quick flashback, making everyone but Green wonder if Hoshi Minati is using music to control others for Jark Matter. Green gets upset and Purple tells her and Silver to calm down. Pink mentions he has an event on planet Peacock in the Pavo System. The Kyurangers go incognito on the planet with the intention of shrinking into Minati's brain to see what's up. They run into guards and get through by pretending to be a band and I just noticed Red looks like Takuto from Star Driver. Meanwhile, Akyanba tells indavders to take out Kyurangers on sight. Minati is being spotted with a Jark Matter escort, they stop them and act as a talent agency until the Jark Matter grunts shove them aside. More talking ensues, the chances of Minati being innocent diminish as Purple says he has a kyu globe that can reveal the truth so he has Pink pool table teleport it. A tusyoi spots them and sends indavers after them. The rangers transform to fight, Yellow states that Minati definitely has a connection to Jark Matter which saddens Green- HOW ARE WE ONLY SIX MINUTES THROUGH THIS EPISODE!? HOLY **** THERE'S A **** LOAD OF TALKING IN THIS ONE! Green gets sad in a dressing room as Silver tries talking to her. After the two talk a lot about not getting too emotional, she mentions she wandered different worlds after her clan was attacks. On planet Zakise in the Reticulum System she became less introverted, but lost hope and felt empty. She met Minati as a street singer with a guitar at the time and instantly fell for his music to the point of crying in front of him. She asked why he sang if nobody could hear and he replied that he had faith someone would as that pushes him forward. She does not want to believe Minati is part of Jark Matter, Silver says they need to know the truth while the others listen outside.

Minati judges new musicians in front of a bunch of children, Green being next with Red and Silver aiding her idol act called Triple Q. Green does the song he sand when they first met- WHOA THIS MUSIC IS BAD! But the kids in the audience like it so eh. This slowly impresses Minati as the crowd cheers at the end. Minati says he made so many songs he did not recognize it and Green mentions how it helped her, even getting off the stage to continue her speech. The manager has Jark Matter grunts get them out while Gold and Pink make themselves known, transform, and fight the grunts with Red and Silver evacuating the audience. Silver and Green use the kyu globe Purple gave them that makes a river, the manager is really Akyanba in disguise and Minati has a creature on his left shoulder, Don Armage! Both of them shoot, Don Armage grows to regular size and demands she fight them right now as Green states they will regret controlling Minati. Transforming and intros are done with a pose followed by Don Armage growing in size. Orion Battler is called by Red followed by Gigante Hooh, both fending off Don Armage- THE GREEN SCREEN DOES NOT EVEN HAVE A BACKGROUND! At least Toei is saving money, I guess. The others handle things on the ground, eventually only Akyanba is left. Green and Gold point out Silver has gotten better at emotions followed by him doing a rousing speech as he turns into Metal to slaughter the vice shogun. The others get an assault in as Metal continues his onslaught and the Star Crash is fired on her with Metal getting the last to slashes in. Akyanba asks if he is glad with his emotions, he replies he is not as she explodes behind him. Don Armage barely fends off both mecha as Orion Battler goes into ship mode as he brags about them never being able to beat him. Hooh Knight thinks this is not the same Don Armage from the past, Red thinks there are more than one of him. They continue assaulting him as Orion Battle swings its club at Gigante Hooh to do a fly and slash technique, Don Armage mocks them thinking they have won. After the Orion Dynamic Strike is used he explodes laughing. Minati thanks Green, saying he feels like waking up from a long dream and promises to sing again. The two part ways, Green and Silver talk a bit about the latter's emotions slowly blossoming. Silver smiles, saying "thank you", and the episode ends with everyone walking off happy. Next episode shows villagers attacked by the Jark Matter.

Akyanba continued: and a human disguise

Episode 36:

Red flashesback to when his dad told him encouraging words and his home burned down. He wakes up, startling Blue, and mentions how he got separated from his dad at a young age. On the monitor the others discuss last episode's fight, Hooh Knight mentioning it was too simple. Orange thinks they have been fighting copies, Red says they need to check at Crux. Minati broadcasts to the galaxies that the Kyurangers saved him, Purple states this will cause uprisings. The Orion detects a signal from planet Luth in the Leo Minor System. Yellow mentions that is Red's homeworld followed by Purple doing kyulette. On Luth we see a malistrate attacking innocent civilians named Unjet. Red attacks him with the others handling the indavers. An old man hears Red's real name which makes him think of someone. The Kyurangers encounter a living toy lion named Caesar, Red had hims as a friend when he was a kid. Unjet goes after Caesar, nabbing him via a net, and teleporting off. Red denies his name in front of the old man who bops him. The others find this amusing while Hooh Knight talks about Southern Cross being the center of the Jark Matter. Pink encounters an invisible wall when dozens of moraimarzes attack. It is revealed that Red ran away from home shortly before the events of the first episode, even saying goodbye to Caesar and the old man in a flashback. Red wanted to see more of the universe because the old man refused to say **** about it. Meanwhile, Unjet throws a fit about the Kyurangers and Caesar- And back to the Orion to discuss the barrier. Red and Blue talk in isolation, the former mentioning that Caesar was a gift from his dad. When his parents disappeared the old man barely gave him an answer. Red hears Caesar while the others learn he just wanted to find his parents. Yellow thinks the Jark Matter are involved. Red's luck is brought up, minor disagreements, a splash of stock footage, and Red contacts the team. Unjet has Caesar in a cage as Red shows himself to Unjet and his squad. Blue wonders if he is Red's friend, he replies he is his trusty teammate. The heroes eventually join up in the grunt slaughter, Unjet thinks he will be promoted to vice shogun as the six Kyurangers transform with intros. Most fight the mooks while Red takes on Unjet. Caesar is held hostage to prevent Unjet from getting hurt.

The old man pushes Unjet out of the way, saying he cannot let Red's life go to waste while accidentally mentioning he is a prince. This shocks even him as the old man mentions his dad is King Aslan of planet Cayenne in the Leo System. Everyone is getting shocked by this as the old man was ordered to protect Red which explains everything. Unjet finds this interesting and opens fire. Red and the old man hide behind a rock from the gunfire, Red states he must save Caesar. He vows to bring piece to the universe while the malistrate mocks him. He uses the supreme kyu globe to transform as Unjet attacks him and he does his intro. Apparently one twirl can dodge a hail of bullets. Red proclaims he is the luckiest man in the universe and frees Caesar from his cage. Unjet flies around only to get beaten hard while the last of the grunts are finished by the others. Red summons the weapons of all the others to assault Unjet, bringing him to his knees as the others show up to use the Star Crash on him. The old man states Red has grown up as Unjet enlarges from badge busting. Caesar launches a fire ball at Red (now in his regular costume) which becomes a kyu globe that causes the toy lion to grow. The voyagers are summoned and combine with Caesar who slashes up Unjet before forming a new Kyurenoh variant called Super Kyurenoh. Nice shoulder cannon. Unjet gets shot up and kicked as moraiders are summoned to fire a barrage of lasers at Super Kyurenoh. Unjet brags about having better numbers, Red tells Caesar to go into rush mode which allows rapid fire that destroys many moraiders. Unjet tries to take over the mech upon head detachment only to get flung off and then terminated via Final Break, a strong laser from the right shoulder cannon. Red is told he was uninformed about his past to prevent him from being reckless in battle and a second reason involving his father because he is alive on his homeworld, sadly submitting to the Jark Matter and persecuting his people. The episode ends with Kukuraku being revived in a lab and told by a robotic voice where the Kyurangers are. Next episode shows Red being chained up and about to be executed by King Aslan.

Unjet: Powers include a 5-barreled gatling gun in each shoulder, a blade on each arm that fires yellow energy cutters, flight, a next in the right arm, teleportation, and a detachable head

Episode 37:

Red narrates the events of last episode followed by the old guy telling the others need to bow. Hooh Knight points out he was the first president of space which is more powerful than a king (yeah, no). Pink points out they still have a barrier. Hooh Knight mentions he knows a method thanks to four sages from his crew. Gold mentions four constellations they can go to for barrier busting. Red apologizes for dragging everyone into this mess, Orange tells him it is not his fault. Red remembers how his dad was as we soon see them on planet Cayenne which is all in ruins. Red's dad has his face scratched out on a poster, Red is determined to find out the truth. On a big moraimarz we see Kukuraku talking to a malistrate about the Kyurangers arriving. Blue can hear the king giving a speech in the distance. King Aslam tells the crowd to bow before Jark Matter as Red recognizes him. The people state he is selling out to the Jark Matter to save himself. The planet's malistrate, Jyumottz, appears and tells him to quiet down. The Kyurangers transform and rush him and a squad of indavers. Jyumottz fires missiles that spawn tsuyois while Kukuraku attacks Red and proclaims he is the one that conquered his homeworld. Red takes a hit to protect the crowd behind him, falling to the ground and saying his dad is no traitor. King Aslam states nobody may defy the king as red loses consciousness and rain rolls in, causing the villains to flee with Red as a captive.

The fighting continues, the three tsuyois are quickly destroyed, leaving only sand. Once everyone is on the Orion, Kukuraku broadcasts he has Red and will execute him in public- No wait the king will. Also why is this on a jumbo tron in the city? The old man is shocked by all this while Red attempts to talk to his dad about what he taught him. A tear lands on the king's left hand when Red is being grabbed by the neck. Hooh Knight thinks there are one of two possibilities for the king's betrayal: Brainwashing or is a fake made by the malistrate. Yellow points out that won't clear the king's name, Hooh Knight replies he has an idea. Red is chained to a pole in front of everyone as the Kyurangers arrive to save him. Jyumottz fights and summons tsuyois. Kukuraku snipes them and tells the king to kill him. King Aslam pulls his sword and Red wants to know where his real father is. Kukuraku replies he killed him, Red vowing to avenge him. A storm occurs, lightning strikes Kukuraku, Green shoots Red's chains off, the others quickly use kyu globes to spray the fake king with sand, and Jyumottz is shocked they found out. Red knew because a tear of his damaged his hand. Red gives a rousing speech that he will liberate the Leo System. Some evacuate the crowd while others transform and do intros with Red, Hooh Knight even saying they will hold off the others as he avenges his father. Red faces off against Kukuraku alone, easily beating him down with Kyumottz being thrown down his way. Red gives another speech followed by the Star Crash being used on the two, setting them ablaze. The crowd cheers while Kukuraku grows and Jyumottz flies what is likely half a kilometer to jump onto his big moraimarz (this is Zubat levels o jumping holy ****!) while Super Kyurenoh, Orion Battler, and Gigante Hooh are formed. Gigante Hooh deals with the big moraimarz in orbit while Super Kyurenoh and Orion Battler face off against Kukuraku in the ruined city, props to Toei for making the miniatures consistent. The big moraimarz and Jyumottz are quickly destroyed via Gigante Hooh's Super Galaxy while the Final Break from Super Kyurenoh and Orion Battler's Super Galaxy obliterate Kukuraku, his final words hailing Jark Matter. Red gets a new white coat and Silver uses a kyu globe to form a crown that Green places on his head. Red thanks the cheering cloud and proclaims they will be heading into the future. Next episode shows Purple posing and Blue cooking.

Kukuraku continued: and a purple body energy beam
Jyumottz: Powers include high jumping, a 9-tube missile pod on each shoulder that spawns tsuyois, and a bladed laser gun

Episode 38:

Purple narrates the events of last episode with more talk about the barrier and the four kyu globes needed to break it. Hooh Knight already possesses one from the Andromeda System so he suggests splitting to go to the Cepheus and Perseus Systems. Gold is in charge of the ship, Red and Blue mention his new white jacket, and we cut to Don Armage mentioning that Hooh Knight knows the truth to a professor. A machine replies that the malistrates have been ordered as an experiment of his awakens: Mecha Madoko! She is given a unique remote before the opening plays. The Battle Ship Orion arrives a planet Atchaalk in the Cepheus System, getting out and seeing the Kyulin Temple. Hooh Knight mentions he and Kurevo overcame nine trials when a malistrate named Deathgong attacks. He challenges them to nine trials and they except. The first is defeating ninety nine indavers in a minute so the kyurangers transform to fight. Once cleared Green tells Purple he is slacking before they move on. A three way split is seen three teams of two being split up (Hooh Knight and Pink, Blue and Green, and Silver and Purple). The second trial has Hooh Knight and Pink doing 9999 situps, the third trial has Blue and Green cooking (the former calling Yellow for help), and the fourth is a game of red light green light. Once the heroes meet up the fifth trial is disco dancing with Purple throwing out his back while everyone else does a funny dance. Another three way split happens nobody wants to be with Purple so Hooh Knight is stuck with him. Pink and Green enjoy a bath without skeeping for trial six (yes, seriously), Blue and Silver do a funny face contest for trial seven, and Purple and Hooh Knight shoot at discs for trial eight although the former feels down. Purple sits down and Hooh Knight gets him a drink as they talk about how everyone has changed, thinking about retirement. Hooh Knight mentions Kurevo was similar as we see a flashback of them as he felt so worthless. Hooh Knight mentioned his mind was an asset and that Purple assembled the brightest stars to make a legendary team. On planet Ghem in the Perseus System (which looks like a giant round game controller) we see the other Kyurangers being shot at by Mecha Madoko who is the planet's malistrate. Red transforms to fight her and she holds her own.

Hooh Knight wonders where the others are, Deathgong appears and releases discs that form into the other four rangers who are under his control! The last trial is to defeat them! Silver mentions he cannot control his body as the four rush in.... Only for Deathgong to talk to himself that the real Kyurangers are trapped in discs he is holding! Green yells for them to catch on while the copies keep saying they must get out of here. Purple gives in, even stop attacking Jark Matter. Everyone is shocked until Purple rolls over and shoots the imposters, revealing to be indavers. Purple shoots the discs with the real rangers who are set free. He found this out by the imposters by being out of character with their dialogue.... Except for Silver who briefly breaks the fourth wall to the audience saying he does not believe it. Deathgong sumons six indavers followed by Purple giving a speech and the Kyurangers transforming with intros. Hooh Knight is told to handle the mooks while the others get kyu globes to fight off Deathgong. Different martial arts are used, Blue pretends to be a dog briefly for comedy relief. Deathgong gains the upper hand until Purple challenges him. Neat martial arts fight! Purple fires an energy ball, likely a ki blast, from his hands followed by the six rangers using the Star Crash on the malistrate. Badge destruction allows Deathgong to grow followed by Purple summoning Ryuteioh. Deathgong proves to be too agile, easily landing blows. Pink and Green come in for arm exchanging from Silver and Blue which gives Ryuteioh the upper hand while Hooh Knight summons Hooh Gigante. More arm switching with boosters for arms and Ryuteioh ends the fight with a flying kick Super Galaxy that causes Deathgong to blow up. After that Purple throws a random disc that releases a monk who thanks him for freeing Kyulin Temple. In return the monk gives them the power of a new kyu globe. Cut to Mecha Madoko using a remote to control Black and sic him on his team, ending the episode on an action packed cliffhanger. Next episode shows Black restrained, Orange with a new power on his right arm, and the others in random costumes.

Deathgong: Powers include a pair of flying bladed discs, discs that entrap organisms, discs that replicate captured organisms from indavers, and martial arts
Mecha Madoko: Powers include a minigun for the left hand....

Episode 39:

Orange narrates the events of last episode, Black is still under Mecha Madoko's control. The others transform to save Red with Bovine Unit-00 shows up to fight. The remote causes Black to shut down, allowing Mecha Madoko and Unit-00 to fly off with him. The environment suddenly changes followed by everyone's outfits which are all medieval themed. A whacky scientist appears speaking random words before claiming to be Professor Anton. Orange throws a juggling pin out of disbelief, revealing it is a hologram talking to them. The professor claims he made the area they are trapped in and will remain there forever. To make things worse their kyu globes are unable to be activated. The others are contacted on the Battle Ship Orion about their situation while Black wakes up in a lab. Anton talks to him while as a mechanical cylinder with a holographic screen. Orange is unhappy he is stuck as a singing jester when some old guy tells them a demon king lives in a castle. Cyan thinks it might be Anton, after Black is seen as a princess and other weird humor the four agree to help the old man raid the castle. Anton brags about his world projecting machine as Black points out he is nothing like the professor he knew. Anton wants to fix him back to his original state and starts by shutting him off. The four encounter a tsuyoi, Yellow and Cyan fight him while Red uses fire magic from his magic wand. Cyan finishes off the tsuyoi- And I just realized he resembles Doktor G from Kamen Rider V3. After that Orange juggles for some kids before the four of them walk around a mansion. Anton appears on a screen, stating he is reverting Black to his original purpose. He reveals using more robots that he worked for the Jark Matter for centuries, his good half kept getting in the way so the bad half secretly escaped his body and into what we see as the mechanical sphere with a mechanical brain in it. The good half stole Black and was then killed by Scorpio that rainy night. Red says they will beat him and rescue their comrade, Anton admits that they can save him by removing his berserk circuit near his heart which is almost impossible. He offers them to join, Red tells him to shove it. Mecha Madoko pops out of a treasure chest to fight them. Orange is told to find Black while the others fight.

Orange finds Anton's lab, Black attacks him but his tail holds him off. Black is turned off and then on, beating u Orange. Anton orders elimination and Orange just dances. He says this is his final song which refers to Black as a princess- Wait where did that old man go anyway? The singing somehow damages the projector and fixes things back to normal. Black starts remembering times he had with Orange, slowly turning him back to normal. orange manages to pierce the berserk circuit and almost collapses, but Black catches him. Anton has Unit-00 attack him. Soon the battle leads outside with Mecha Madoko and the others still fighting. The five of them then proceed to use their kyu globes to transform and do intros. Worth noting is the high angle shot that confirms Black is larger in his regular form than his ranger form. Orange uses a kyu globe to turn his right arm into a drill as he and Black assault- Wait there's TWO Unit-00s!? Black states justice is on their side as he and Orange each take on a Bovine Unit-00. Also Black can rocket punch like a Mazinger now. Red, Yellow, and Cyan take on Mecha Madoko who brags she lost her regeneration for invincibility. She turns her cutlass into six whips to disarm them, but Red's portal powers gets them back. Mecha Madoko and both Bovines are thrown together and the Star Crash is used on them. They survive, Mecha Madoko teleporting off while the Bovines grow only for the Battle Ship Orion to launch missiles at them. Super Kyurenoh is formed followed by Orion Battler. The two against two fight is pretty neat although it ends too soon via Super Galaxy whic blows both of them up. Mecha Madoko carries Anton who curses the Kyurangers. At the mansion all the Kyurangers look around for the kyu globe energy, Black tries cheering up Orange. Gold and Silver find a small chest which has the energy they are looking for, getting a new kyu globe. Purple and Pink point out that the Cassiopeia System is the last one left and the episode ends on eevryone cheering. Next episode shows everyone playing baseball.

Mecha Madoko continued: .... flight, a cutlass that turns into six whips, teleportation
