Stacy helped us finally liberate SDTopia!
And, to get Cutanner and Ricky back to their human forms, Zocks and his family left this world!
The World Pirates are off to find a cure for Ricky and Cuttaner, having freed SDtopia. However, their departure could not come at a worse time, for a Wald which possesses the ability to change its targets' fates has appeared. The five Zenkaigers are all suddenly afflicted by terrible fortunes while the Wald and its forces all prosper in all that they do. Will the Zenkaigers be able to turn their fate around?
Tropes
- Celebrity Paradox: The karaoke room Stacy wakes up in happens to be playing the music video for a song called "STACYTHOUGHT", which stars Ryo Sekoguchi, Stacy's actor.
- Creator Cameo: Vroon's suit actor Kazuya Okada appears as a guy (
named Kazu) who loses his Kikainoid girlfriend Momoi as a result of Omikuji Wald's bad luck powers. They eventually got back together once the spell is undone. - Deader than Dead: It's implied that with Possessed!Stacy didn't just depower Great Omikuji Wald back into a regular Kudaitest, but considering that he crushed Omikujitopia in his hand into pure-white powder while the Toziru Gear it leaves behind after its destruction is a blank white color, it's highly likely he actually destroyed Omikujitopia.
- Flat "What": The Zenkaigers' reaction to Possessed!Stacy's statement of him being a god.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Subverted. Because Omikuji Wald used his powers on his grunts by mistake, Juran and Gaon thought they'll get bad luck just like the Majine, Vroom and the other civilians. They instead get good luck as the result.
- Two Lines, No Waiting: The A Plot of the episode focuses on the Zenkaigers dealing with Omikuji Wald, while the B Plot focuses on Gege setting up his Evil Plan whilst controlling Stacy to send Kikaitopians back to Kikaitopia.
- Villainous Rescue: Possessed!Stacy effectively depowers Great Omikuji Wald back into a Kudaitest to allow Kaito, Juran, and Gaon to defeat him.
- What Did I Do Last Night?: Stacy wakes up in a karaoke room, wondering why he's not in the Tozitend palace. He comes to the conclusion that he somehow managed to escape after running through the events of the past couple episodes, not knowing that Gege was possessing him the entire time.
- Wham Line: Near episode's end, when Possessed!Stacy explains how he's able to revert Dai Omikuji Wald:"The truth is... I created all of these worlds. I'm a bit like a god in that case."
