At Dolnero's Hideout,Dolnero becomes angry learning that His money supply has been depleted. Knowing that Dolnero will need a steady flow of income, Lira releases a criminal known as Flan, the Blackmailing School Gang Leader, from cryo-stasis, who attacks a person in the dead of night. The next morning, at Tomorrow Research, Tatsuya packs up and heads for the Karate Dojo, training a young boy named Makoto Urawa. the rest of the Timerangers quietly see that Makoto isn't all that good. Tatsuya, after seeing the others snooping, introduces the Timerangers to Makoto, who is verydetermined to learn karate. Domon says to Tatsuya that training one student won't earn any money, but Tatsuya counters that It's separate from business, as Makoto is Determined to learn. During Makoto's training, His knuckles started to bleed, bruises appear on His face, and He becomes more violent. Soon, Tatsuya after learning from Makoto's Mother that her son is involved in something shady, goes to Makoto's school (Nanjo High School) to look into it.
At the school, three of the shady teenagers order Makoto to give up his money, He does that, but when it wasn't enough, one of them was about to land a punch, but the Teacher puts a stop to it, before things got worse. At the school infirmary, as the teacher tended to Makoto's injury, Tatsuya learns that Makoto is being bullied. Makoto explained that he didn't tell Tatsuya because the adults can't help him, adding that he'll be bullied worse if He ratted them out. The teacher also said to Tatsuya that the shady teenagers are part of a group called the Dragon Society, who report to the Yakuza. Makoto who thinks he has to deal with it on his own, tells Tatsuya that he has to get stronger to get back at His attackers. Tatsuya, after hearing that, said to Makoto that Karate is meant to avoid fights, and not a tool for vengeance. and ended saying that He will not teach Makoto any more if He uses His karate to pick fights.Later at Night, at Tomorrow Research, Yuri tells the others that the shady teenagers and their group targeted more than Nanjo High School. So, Tock suggests looking into this group.
Meanwhile, At the Dragon Society's hideout, the leader (known as Shibuya) noticing that there's not enough money, one of the members said that one person couldn't get the money in time. Shibuya along with a handful of his henchmen come to the school and spot Makoto, who is tending to the flowers as he remembers Tatsuya's words, that Karate isn't a tool for vengeange. Shibuya and his henchmen then destroy flower pots, flip the wheelbarrow, and damage the flower bed, which makes Makoto furious that He punches Shibuya into a bench, causing the members to stop in shock of Shibuya defeated. The Teacher who saw it applauded and brought a confused Makoto to the Dragon Society's hideout, saying that He is now, the Leader. The teacher then left the room laughing as the shadow becomes that of a monster...
With Makoto as the new leader of the dragons, He extorts and bullies the kids alongside the shady teenagers, as the Londerz Family regale at the fact that that no one, not even the TimeRangers can put a stop to their plan. Lira then tells Flan (Who takes the appearance of the teacher) to continue the plot. Later, as the male TimeRangers wait at a street, Tatsuya is pushed out of a house by Shibuya, saying Makoto replaced Him as the Dragon Society's leader. At the hideout, Flan (disguised as the teacher) tells Makoto that He'll need double the money being taken. As Makoto continues extorting people, Tatsuya and the others arrive.
Makoto tells Tatsuya that might makes right, then, Tatsuya challenges Makoto to a fight to prove it. as the rest of the Timerangers watch, Makoto fights Tatsuya, who doesn't fight back. Makoto in tears asked why Tatsuya didn't fight back. Tatsuya explained that Makoto has no righteousness to His karate, as Makoto looks at the flowers. Tatsuya tells the disheartened Makoto that the strength to protect weak things like the flowers Makoto loves is true justice. Upon returning to the hideout, Makoto says to a disguised Flan that He'll stop blackmailing people, saying that making people suffer is wrong. Flan removes His disguise saying that anyone who defies the Londerz family, dies. As Flan was ready to kill Makoto with a bicycle chain, The TimeRangers arrive fighting off the Londerz Prisoner, as Tatsuya tells Makoto to run. the TimeRangers suit up as Tatsuya fights Flan. Flan proceeds to pay Tatsuya to stop attacking. Tatsuya says that Flan will not pay off His sense of justice, which follows the law of courage. Flan tears off His depression seal and grows to a great height. The TimeRangers get on the time jets and form TimeJet Gamma, which uses Gamma Tornado to make Flan fly, then turns into Time Robo Beta, then Time Robo Alpha to summon the Time-Space Sword to strike Flan with the Press Blizzard Attack, defeating the Londerz Prisoner.
At Tatsuya's Dojo, as Tatsuya trains Makoto in the ways of karate again, (along with some children, the former members of the Dragon Society, including Shibuya) The rest of the Timerangers are relieved that Makoto is back to normal, the Dragon Society disbanded, and the money returned to their rightful owners. Tatsuya then has the students run to build up their muscles, as Tatsuya invites the rest of the hesitant Timerangers to come along.
