Super Zenkaizer and Super Twokaizer combined together into ZenkaijuOh!

In the midst of battling Togyuu Wald, the Zenkaiju Gear won't answer the team's calls, leading to them believing that it ran away! While civilians are being turned into rampaging bullfighters, the Zenkaigers try to find where the Zenkaiju Gear could be, but Gaon is giving the cold shoulder...
Episode Tropes
- Armor-Piercing Question: Juran gives Gaon one that causes him to think about his Boomerang Bigot tendencies.Gaon: The Zenkaiju Gear was messing around with dinner!
Juran: If it was a human kid, would you have done the same thing? Or was it because it was a machine?! - Because You Were Nice to Me: This episode establishes that Gaon has completely warmed up to the team for having accepted and appreciated him for who he is, despite all his Boomerang Bigot tendencies.
- Cerebus Syndrome: A mild variant. While still fairly wacky, this episode is much more emotionally-charged and dramatic than previous episodes, as Gaon's Character Development starts to show itself while Stacey steels himself to attack Kaito once more.
- Character Development: Most of the episode is centered around Gaon coming to terms with the fact that he truly does care for his teammates (aside from Kaito), but finds himself unable to express it due to his Boomerang Bigot tendencies. It takes an Armor-Piercing Question and some good ol' introspection for him to finally admit that all of his team truly mean something to him.
- Cliffhanger: The episode ends with the team defeating Great Tōgyu Wald...and then Stacaesar challenges ZenkaijuOh to a fight with his Battle Caesar Robo II.
- Gone Horribly Right: Twokaizer using Black Knight's power managed to calm the herd of bull-civilians attacking him, only for them all to just cling onto him for comfort. When he's had enough, he shrugs them off, causing his effect to wear off as they start attacking him again.
- Jerkass Realization: While Juran was incorrect about Gaon causing the Zenkaiju Gear to run away as it ate the food he was preparing, Gaon realised that Juran did make a good point by asking him if he would similarly shoo a human child in that kind of situation.
- Wham Shot: Downplayed; while he's busy holding back the bull-civilians and Kikainoid Zenkaigers, Gaon gets visibly injured for the first time in the series and is still sparking after the battle with Togyuu Wald is over.
- Wrong Assumption: Assuming the Zenkaiju Gear ran away due to Gaon's recollection, Juran harshly scolds him for scaring the Gear away. Juran later on learns from Flint that the Gear's AI was never advanced enough to consider running away, and that it probably snagged onto something that prevented it from being summoned instead, causing him to realise his mistake.
