Plot[]
Zenkaiger[]
Secchan recaps on the final episodes and Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger vs. Kiramager vs. Senpaiger, the Zenkaigers return to Zenkaitopia. At Candy Cafe Colorful, they find Yatsude Goshikida and Mitsuko Goshikida making kashiwa mochi. They assume it's for a party or a new item on the menu, but when they try to taste the mochi, Yatsude stops them. They warn that the mochi is meant for the Kashiwa Mochi King, to the Zenkaigers' confusion. Unfortunately, Magine already ate some of the kashiwa mochi just as KW enforcers arrive to collect the batch. They notice Magine and declare they will be killed, and the ensuing ruckus is taken outside. As everyone leaves the shop, Kaito feels a disturbance before leaving the shop. He looks around and sees his location different, but after the vision passes, he immediately forgets about it to go after his friends.
Kaito catches up and they all see that people being forced to make kashiwa mochi for the Kashiwa Mochi King. Soon, the soldiers are ordered to attention as Zocks and the arrive in royal attire. Flint makes them swear fealty to the pirates using kashiwa mochi. The Zenkaigers realize people are addicted to kashiwa mochi and correctly deduce that Kashiwa Mochi World has returned again. The World claims to be a different one that worked for Dr. Iokal. His plan was to addict the world to kashiwa mochi, but once the World Pirates were placed under his spell, they stole a good chunk of it, threatening whoever they wanted to get kashiwa mochi. The Zenkaigers then turn their attention to the World and transform to fight him, but Zocks notices and interferes, making them retreat. They are then intercepted by Isao Goshikida in Hakaizer form, also addicted to kashiwa mochi. Having been offered mochi in exchange for the Zenkaigers' capture, he attacks his son and friends, who are unwilling to fight Isao again. A bounty of mochi is on the group's head, leading the entire town to hunt them.
Secchan opens a gate and they escape to Kikaitopia, where they tell Stacy. Tapping into his villainous side, Stacy comes up with a plan: turn the public against Zocks to make reaching Kashiwa Mochi World easier. Kaito agrees with the plan, with the twist that they face their problem head on. The Zenkaigers split up and gather kachiwa mochi recipes from different worlds, then create a black market for mochi on Zenkaitopia. This turns the public around, angering Zocks. He locates Juran and the Zenkaigers, minus Kaito, battle. While the others distract Zocks, Kaito sneaks onto CrocoDaiOh to find Kashiwa Mochi World. Hakaizer gets in his way to prevent Kaito from sneaking inside, but Stacy arrives to fight Hakaizer, allowing Kaito to find the World and battle him.
Donbrothers[]
Haruka narrates that a year as passed since Taro's disappearance. The Sentai fights under Jiro, and they face against Minoru Ono, who has become Ohsamaki a second time. Using a battle formation Jiro devised, they send Ohsamaki flying. Meanwhile, Taro makes a delivery to an empty apartment. Inside, he finds a meal with a message for him to eat it. As he starts to eat, a hologram of Kaito tells him that he will soon regain his memories and that he must address any problems with the Donbrothers. Taro remembers everything and returns to Cafe Donbura, where he meets Don Murasame and Kaito. Taro asks for his companions, but Jiro arrives and takes Taro to a mansion he owns. Jiro tries to discourage Taro by saying that they no longer have a bond with him, but he gets distracted by his maids not having the exact hairstyle as Rumi. Taro leaves and meets with each of the Donbrothers, each living their ideal lives. Haruka remains a best-selling manga artist, with her Donbrothers based work still popular. Tsubasa and Sononi own a restaurant, Shinichi runs a cram school, and Tsuyoshi became his company's CEO, all thanks to Jiro's newfound wealth. Whenever Taro asks about how the Donbrothers are doing, each member asks to talk about something. Meanwhile, Minoru visits his mother in the hospital, who tells him to pursue his dreams before she passes away. Filled with fresh determination from his mother's last words, a never before-seen Hitotsuki manifests within Minoru.
That night, Taro meets Sonoi - now owner of an oden cart - who reveals that he got kicked off the team for disagreeing with Jiro's rigid leadership. The next day, the Donbrothers meet up and say they wish to resign, each having lost their passion for being part of the Sentai. Sonoza berates them for quitting, then Minoru Ono arrives as Kikaiki and attacks everyone. Out of respect for the others' wish to quit, Taro arrives and fights alone, but is overpowered and slain. The others find Taro's body and assume he faked his death again, but he does not wake up like before. Truly dead, a funeral is held for him and the others resolve to continue on as Donbrothers. The team challenges Kikaiki, but gets overpowered. As they battle, Sonoi goes to the funeral chapel and returns the power that was stolen from Taro for his own resurrection. Taro returns to life and rejoins the fight against Kikaiki. Jiro berates the others for listening to Taro, and threatens to take their new jobs and positions away from them. At this point it was revealed the topic everyone wanted to talk to Taro about; As it turns out, Jiro was using his gifts as a way to blackmail the team and remain obedient if they ever doubted his leadership. After speaking with Taro, he not only pointed out how terrible of a leader Jiro became, he also made the others realize that they need to fight for themselves and their happiness. They push Kikaiki to a quarry and fight him there.
Final Arc[]
The Zenkaigers are pushed into the same quarry as the Donbrothers by Zocks, while Stacy and Hakaizer bring their fight to the ground. The Zenkaigers recognize Don Momotaro and while his team is confused, most of them having never seen another Sentai, they decide to help. Vroon tells Taro that the World is on Zocks' ship, so he drags Kashiwa Mochi World down and has the Donbrothers turn into the Dynamen and beat the World with Super Dynamite, destroying his Tojiru Gear and freeing everyone from kashiwa mochi addiction. Kikaiki helps the World, and the two exchange power with one another, empowering them both to beat down the Sentai teams. Just as the monsters are about to finish the job, the Kaito of the Donbrothers' world shoots them. Everyone is confused as to how another Kaito exists, and when asked, Donbrothers Kaito simply announces himself as a true hero before going back to the sidelines. The teams combine their forces, transform, and roll call as the World and Hitotsuki can't hear those roll call at once, summoning Kudakks and Anoni to aid them. They begin to fight until Donbrothers' Kaito hands Taro a new gear, the VS (Victory Super) Gear, which turns Taro into Don Zenkai Momotaro and the Zenkaiger's Kaito into GolDon Zenkaizer. The two unveil a new technique that finishes Kikaiki and Kashiwa Mochi World off.
After the battle, the Zenkaigers return to Cafe Colorful and celebrate with a sushi party. Stacy points out Zocks broke his promise not to steal in Zenkaitopia, so he apologizes for his actions and thanks them for saving him. Kaito accepts, but says he'll need to apologize to everyone he stole from. Gaon considers giving the leftover mochi away, and Juran suggests they give some to the Donbrothers they'll go on a world apology tour. Minoru returns to the hospital, where he learns his had just fallen asleep, but he promises to live his life seriously. In the next room, an injured Jiro complains about losing to Sonoi, who challenged him to a rematch during the final battle. His nurse, who happens to resemble Rumi, arrives and feeds him. Tsubasa and Sononi place up wanted posters and go back to a life on the run and the rest of the Donbrothers return to their lives before Taro's disappearance. Sonoza meets Sonoi in the oden shop but, the latter doesn't respond, leaving his fate unknown. Meanwhile, Taro meets with his companions sans Jiro and they tell him that they've given up the lives he had bought for them. Taro resolves to train them again like in earlier episodes and attacks them as the movie closes.

A production still showing DonZenkai Momotaro wielding the Zanglassword.
A hypothetical Hakaizer Sentai Gear, appears only during the combined team morphing sequence.
- This is the first Sentai crossover to feature a multi-act story. Similar to the Kamen Riders' Movie War
films, the first two acts are dedicated to their respective seasons, while the final act serves as the proper crossover. - This is the first time since episode 22 that the Donbrothers do a full team Avatar Change.
- Only one DonZenkai Blade prop was actually made for production. As such, scenes of both Don Momotaro and Zenkaizer wielding the blade are spliced together with DonZenkai Momotaro instead wielding the Zanglassword as a stand-in, the tip of which, however, can still be seen after the final attack is launched.[5]
- While Isao Goshikida does not use a physical Sentai Gear to transform into Hakaizer, a hypothetical one appears during the combined team morphing sequence.
films, the first two acts are dedicated to their respective seasons, while the final act serves as the proper crossover.
