While Igasaki and Kagura attempt to cheer Marvelous up, Stinger leaves to investigate on his own while Kazakiri is informed the next round was meant to be a three-on-three match against the Gaorangers' Gao Red, the Gingamen's Ginga Green, and the Sun Vulcan team's Vul Shark. Despite being outnumbered, Kazakiri opts to fight them alone, determined to fulfill a dead friend's unfulfilled dream of running with animals in the wild. After Kazakiri wins the battle, Igasaki is attacked by Gaisoulg again while Stinger discovers a hidden lab containing several books about the Super Sentai along with a revelation.

Once Kruger's analysis is completed, the Oddball team learn that Rita's true objective is to revive Ultimate Great Satan, but struggle to figure out how to find the missing Igasaki.
