Directed by: Hiroyuki Kato
Summary:
With the others out, Juru and Takamichi have to fend off a Jamen Beast by themselves. Unfortunately, they end up shrunken by an unknown force and end up stranded in the middle of "nowhere". And to make things worse, a kid picks them up and starts to play with the Mashins like toys!
Tropes:
- Accidental Hero: Tatsuki ended up saving the shrunken Mashins by taking them home before Yodonna could find and capture them.
- An Aesop: You shouldn't hide things from the ones that you love to save them the trouble.
- Call-Back:
- The boys make one to the first episode, commenting that the fight against the Jamen Beast feels a lot like when Juru wasn't around in the beginning.
- Mabushina makes one when she praises Muryo's support services, a major plot point in the last episode.
- Contrived Coincidence:
- Kiramazin and Gigant Driller were sent out to deal with Pinch In-and-Out Dagames due to the other Mashins being in Atamald with Oradin, with the core five Mashins' insistence to not call upon the king unnecessarily. Likewise, Juru and Takamichi are the only ones available to deal with the kaiju due to the others being busy with their own careers.
- Later on, the other Kiramagers were unable to contact the other Mashins in Atamald, due to Juru having taken the Kiramai Go Arrow with him earlier before being shrunken down.
- Designated Girl Fight: Sayo and Sena get into a scuffle with Yodonna before she heads off.
- Flat "What": The Mashins do this when Tatsuki dubs them the "Super Science Sheriff Garrison Machines".
- Killed Offscreen: Similar to the fourth episode, the Jamenshi is already dealt with before the episode started.
- Living Toys: This is what Juru inside Kiramaizin claims to be when he decides to help Tatsuki with his loneliness.
- Off-the-Shelf FX/Product Placement: The shrunken Mashins are visualized through the actual DX toys sold in real life.
- Out of Focus: The Kiramagers aside from Takamichi and Juru get significantly less focus due to them having to return to their jobs right after defeating the Jamneshi.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The episode title is one to the 1998 film The Geisha House (おもちゃ/Omocha, "Toys").
- Refuge in Audacity: Downplayed. When Mabushina and Muryo are trying to find Juru and Kiramazin after the Jamen Beast was defeated, the former decides to look for them in her hair.
- Special Edition Title: The final week of the "Kiramai Music Festival" has Takamichi singing his character song Wonder Guardian God for the ED. Unlike the other ones, this one has retro TV animation in the beginning when Oradin is announcing his song.
- Shrink Ray: Pinch In & Out Dagames has this power along with a growth ray and used the former power to shrink Kiramaizin and Gigant Driller into DX Toys size.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: Tatsuki is rather mature for a kid of his age as shown that he understands that his mother is unable to spend time with him due to work and when given courage to inform her about his loneliness, only asks a hug from her to get through the day.
