Series

• Six months after the battle between the Gaiark and Go-Onger started on Earth, the tides turn due to Air Pollution Minister Kitaneidas's development of a new element known as Bikkurium, used to further strengthen Machine Beasts and to allow for the "Industrial Revolution" process to turn them into giants. Due to this development, the Go-Onger reveal the Engine Casts to allow for their partner's Engine Souls to materialize into functioning beings in this world. They use these bodies to hold back a massive Gaiark attack and then defeat Incinerator Banki with the combined bodies in the form of Engine-O. However the actions are spied upon by two individuals: the serious Gunpei Ishihara (claiming to be a detective but actually a patrolman who resigned and turned down a promotion) and the lowly deliveryman Hant Jou, both of whom try to join the team yet with the trio leaving before they can.

After hearing their origin and witnessing them standing up to another giant Machine Beast, Gunpei decides to become reckless to return the casts with Hant driving.

After a misunderstanding and helping him understand the importance of partnership, Carrigator joins the squad and gives them a second giant form in Gun Bir O, which helps defeat Bombe Banki. However the Banki Beast uses it's power to rust Sosuke's squad's Engine, making them remain useless even after it's destruction. Ultimately the team realizing that merely cleaning the rust off with hard work will restore the Casts and make the Engine functional again. (GP 7, 8)
• As part of a scheme, Lens Banki sends Hant & Saki to Junk World, another Braneworld where they remain until the other Go-Onger trick him into rewinding his film to allow all those captured to escape. However when about to lose to both Engine-O and Gun Bir-O, the Banki takes "commemorative photos" for it's defeat, which immediately are sent to the Gaiark ministers. (GP 9)
• Using Lens Banki's photos of the Engine formations, the Gaiark ministers combine their powers into one collaborative Banki: Mirror Banki, who easily crushes both Engine-O and Gun Bir-O.

(GP 15)

(GP 22)
• Realizing his mind is holding him back from unleashing his true potential, Hiramechimedes subjects himself to 100 times the typical dosage of Bikkurium, mutating into the random but powerful Detramechimedes.

• While visiting a forest, Hiramechimedes' spirit, having become Urameshimedes due to the grudge on the team, traps the Go-Onger and haunts them while sending Bakki, a creature he discovered in Samurai World, against them as his force.

Angered, Hiroto tries to speed up development of Jum-bowhale's GT Roader by himself until the team forces him to realize he has to work together with his teammates to accomplish anything.

• Sosuke aligns with the Ancient Engine to fight Horonderthal, but matters become worsened when Yogostein joins the battle, throwing out two special machine keys: one to increase Horonderthal's power and another to slow down Sosuke's heart. With Kyoretsu-O unable to defeat the barbarian machine on it's own, it offers to fuse with all of the Engine of Earth, leading to the creation of Engine-O G12 which finally destroys the primitive enemy; but not before Yogostein steals the key and uses it on himself to increase his power. After leaving the battle in victory, Sosuke collapses on the ground due to Yogostein's second key stopping his heart, rusting him into a metal statue. (GP 35)
• Mourning Sosuke's apparent death, the Go-Onger unite to fight the Horonderthal-enhanced Yogostein, ultimately using their full force and even Engine-O G12 with Renn fighting with both his own and Sosuke's power to defeat him and destroy his keys.

After Sosuke convinces him that the Go-Onger are ordinary and not something to blame for his problems, he gives up the sword and Speedor, Buson and Bear RV use the Dai Shogun casts to defeat Maki's last servants before the kids return to Samurai World via Kishamoth. (GP 39, 40)

• The Go-Onger directly face Cleaning Minister Kireizky when he arrives to "clean up" Human World after destroying Prism, Sound and Magic Worlds. The team can't face him directly until Sosuke encounters Santa Claus from Christmas World who had been shot down by Kireizky and who lets the team use his magic sack to attack him and destroy his Floorcloth Grenade which disabled the Engines. However, he uses his Endless Wastebin to transport and separate the team and Santa from him. (GP 43)
• The Go-Onger regroup slowly as Kireizky sets up hanging bombs throughout Tokyo to destroy it and Human World on Christmas Eve. Using the power of all their mecha after he partakes in Dokkurium (a chemical devised from the three worlds Kireizky destroyed) to grow, they ultimately overwhelm him before destroying him with Engine-O G12. However, the Endless Wastebasket remains active despite Kireizky's defeat. (GP 44)
• After making their New Year's resolutions, the Go-Ongers celebrate at the Atami Korakuen Hotel while the Engines relax in a Refresh Hole. Encountering a sad Zashiki-warashi, the Go-Ongers manage to cheer it up by debuting G5 Prince. (GP 45)
• Crime Minister Yogoshimacritein, father of the late Yogostein, arrives through Kireizky's Endless Wastebasket to take command of the Gaiark in Human World with Danger Cabinet-Director Chirakasonne by his side; taking full claim that they and Kireizky worked together to destroy the three Braneworlds. When the Go-Onger try to attack the new Gaiark leader, Chirakasonne absorbs their attack and fires them back at the team. (GP 46)
• The "participating duo", Hant and Gunpei, figure out that they have to throw a direct attack at Chirakasonne as another attack is fired to defeat him; they do so but hurting themselves in the process. After undergoing Super Industrial Revolution, they defeat him fully by overloading him with Gun Bir-O's energy fired by Carrigator; but they're left open to attack by Yogoshimacritein's "Justice Dissolution" attack, making both humans and souls disappear into an unknown dimensional void. (GP 47)
• To prove their worth to their new leader, Kitaneidas and Kegaleshia create the ultimate composite Kettei Banki, who is defeated with a combined effort of the three remaining Go-Onger and Go-On Wings. However, Yogoshimacritein fires off two more Justice Dissolutions eliminating the Go-On Wings and the Ancient Engines, but not before Hiroto yells at Bomper to analyze the attack to figure out where they end up as they vanish. (GP 48)
• Yogoshimacriten reveals that a special gear, the Deus Haguru Magear, was installed by his son Yogostein within Hellgaille Palace with the ability to create an unlimited Bandohma army to late Human World to waste. Though the three Go-Onger fight off a wave of Bandohma, they discover that the attacks are endless and the only way to stop it is to stop the source. Learning that their lost friends still exist in some form, the surviving three Go-Ongers commence a final offensive against Yogoshimacritein at Hellgaille Palace which leads to him turning Kitaneidas and Kegalesia into his puppets to protect himself. In defiance, the fallen Pollution Ministers manage to disable Yogoshimacritein's Justice Dissolution by destroying the Infinite Wastebin, informing the Go-Ongers that Yogoshimacritein's source of power is the Deus Haguru Magear before being terminated by their leader. (GP 49)
• Within Gaiark's main control room, Sosuke, Renn and Saki disable Yogoshimacritein within the Banki Beast maker to destroy the Deus Haguru Magear and stop the infinite Bandohma wave. In an attempt to destroy the Go-Onger after the end of his unlimited army, the Gaiark leader reverses the machinery within Hellgaille, causing it to collapse in on itself before the Go-Onger trio escape as Yogoshimacritein ascends to a god-like form that can destroy anything in the human world instantly. After returning to the city, Yogoshimacritein is stopped by the returning Hant, Gunpei, Hiroto and Miu, who rejoin with their partners and use an assault with Speedor, Buson and Bear RV's help to defeat the Gaiark leader. After he grows giant, the team is reunited with all their Engine partners, using Engine-O G12 to annihilate the Crime Minister and end Gaiark's schemes. (GP Final)
