Though he heard the truth about his origins, Barizorg refuses and defeats Joe before taking his leave as the pirate sees his friend is truly dead. On the Gokai Galleon, Karou learns how Joe became a pirate before Delzeiger returns to Earth to carry on Oiles' orders to slaughter the Gokaigers for hurting him. Though Kaoru offers to help, Marvelous turns her down as he and others fight the Gormin and Sugormin with the power of various Sentai warriors before Delzeiger defeats them. After having an realization, Joe arrives to help after Kaoru gives him a Secret Disc to even the odds. The gathered team assume the forms of the Shinkengers to battle Delzeiger, with Shinken Blue using the Secret Disc to fight with two Shinkenmaru before the pirates finish Delzeiger off with Gokai Slash. Enlarged, Delzeiger proceeds to destory the city before overpowering Gao Goukaioh. However, using the Shinkenger Keys, Gao Goukaioh reforms into Shinken Goukaioh. After taking down an entire platoon of Sugormin, Shinken Gokaioh destroys Delzeiger.
