Secret Kitten (秘密の子猫, Himitsu no Koneko) is the ninth episode of Seiju Sentai Gingaman.

Synopsis

A meteorite seals away Gingat's power, turning it into a small feline that a girl adopts in place of her missing cat.

Plot

A mysterious meteor crashes on Earth near Gingat and seals her power, causing the feline Starbeast to shrink and regress into a kitten. A little girl named Yuuko finds the young Gingat and the meteorite and takes them home with her while the Gingaman look for the lost Starbeast. The Barban plan on finding and using the meteorite's evil power as an energy source to start their ship, putting Yuuko in danger. Yuuko refuses to give the Starbeast back to Saya, as she is lonely without a friend to keep her company. Saya must think of a way to get Gingat back while being considerate of Yuuko's feelings.
