Plot[]
A woman complains about how a refrigerator she bought less than a year prior is already broken; her son Satoshi wonders what the matter is as the son reveals it was just not plugged in, showing how out of it she is. The woman yells this is why she hates machines, making Hysteria upset hearing this claiming that humans are happy to have technology's benefits but show no love for the machines. Bacchus Wrath claims humans think machines are no better than animals as Hysteria shows further disdain and Buldont inspires her to take revenge to make them appreciate machines. As she plots, she sends down a Machine Beast named Bara Printer who appears to the woman and orders her to love the refrigerator, which she immediately does, caressing her fridge.
On patrol, Shouhei encounters Satoshi nearly running him over worried about his glazed expression nearly running him over, but the boy worries about his mother as she continues to caress the fridge as if in love with it. Satoshi tries to snap her out but she gets upset when he touches the fridge confusing OhGreen in the process. At the same time, Bara Printer makes other people fall for machines, making a girl falling for a copier and bikers in love with tricycles! Shouhei hears about the attacks on communicator and realizes how strange it have gotten, telling Satoshi he will save his mother.
At a church, Bara Printer chases after a bride to make her love an electric fan, but Shouhei hits him to protect her, trying to figure out his plan. The Machine Beast summons Barlo Soldiers knocking OhGreen away until the other Ohranger arrive to assist, the team attacking the minions and defeating them with ease before turning towards Bara Printer. The Machine east tries to implant the love of the Electric Fan on them but they avoid making it fire smaller shots to knock them away. The Ohranger run away until under a bridge, Momo wondering how to fight a Machine Beast like that. Goro wonders that the powers will not stop with trivial machines like fans, copier or tricycles, with Shouhei realizing it could be used for something worse. On the moon, Buldont celebrates Hysteria's plan, but the empress claims that its too soon to celebrate something so trivial confusing the son until he realizes that if people can fall for refrigerators, then they can potentially fall in love with the greatest of machines; she and Bacchus Wrath realize what the final plot is as Hysteria makes Acha head to the surface to accomplish it with Kocha doubting.
On Earth, Acha informs Bara Printer that it's time for the ultimate plan; but Shouhei hits the butler being pushed back, but stating that this may be why Acha is Baranoia's greatest warrior, causing him to fluster! Shouhei soon hits Acha over and over as the butler giggles, making him wonder how he's able to defeat him like that while strangling him but Shouhei claims if he didn't, then something terrible would happen as he continues to flatter Acha claiming he's the strongest and coolest machine of Baranoia; their ultimate machine! He admits if the world falls in love with him, they world is done for; convincing Acha to go forth and make that their ultimate plot with Bara Printer!
With Bara Printer's assistance, it beams Acha capturing his image to gather information. Then going back to Satoshi's mother, the Machine Beast orders her to love Acha, soon doing so with all those it makes victims! People surround Acha, giving him leis and kissing him as Juri wonders what Shouhei is doing; but Shouhei tells them it's for the best making Acha the center of the plot as opposed to the intended: Bacchus Wrath himself, making Gorou realize that this was the plan for Baranoia's conquest to subjugate the planet to it's will and making him a believer in using Shouhei's diversionary plot; OhGreen admits that using Acha instead, this is as bad as things are going to get. Meanwhile, Satoshi goes to try and get his mother's attention from Acha but the mother knocks him away; the other Ohranger soon doubt the plan but Shouhei states this was just a means of buying time. He soon rushes out and tells Acha to not get too comfortable as the butler instructs Bara Printer to make him subjugate as well.
OhGreen rushes out into the open pursued by Bara Printer who uses radar and lasers to attack Shouhei. Stating he can't be escaped, Shouhei sneaks between containers to hide, cornered into loving Acha until he pulls a sheet revealing a mirror, causing it to short circuit! Upon Acha appearing, the Machine Beast starts chasing after Acha obsessively, making it fall for it's own trap and causing problems for Acha in the process in crushing him! The Ohranger wonder about how scary machines are as Kocha yells at them for hugging like this, with the little mecha breaking the "love at first sight circuit" to save Acha in the process. With the circuit destroyed, Shouhei states they have nothing to fear as they combat the Barlo emerging in the vicinity. Bara Printer fires it's lower guns towards the Ohranger as Acha tells it to grind them to dust, forcing them to transform and repel the Barlo Soldiers. OhGreen uses his boxing to break the Barlo around him until Bara Printer tries to corner him; he uses his Explosive Mirage Knuckles and Lightning Choriki Crusher to push it back until it uses laser turrets on it's hand to attack him and OhRed. Summoning the Giant Roller from the Choriki Mobiles, Goro attacks Bara Printer forcing Acha and Kocha to grow it and the team to fight it with Ohranger Robo. Bara Printer attacks with spikes and lightning, but they soon use the Horn Head's superior strength to ram it and the Choriki Taurus Thunder to push it back before destroying with the Crown Final Crash.
Later, Satoshi asks his mother to get some food for him, pulling out some vegetables to clean for a meal. Seeing the happy family together again, Shouhei meets up with the other Ohranger saying everything is better again. Juri states it's great again, but Yuji wonders about how his plan was too hard yet OhGreen states to not worry about the details of the plot as he leaves happily and confidently.
