Synopsis[]
Radietta Fanbelt, a self-proclaimed Carranger fangirl, arrives on Earth to meet with her heroes as they face off against a fake team of "heroic" Gorotsuki!
Plot[]
At the Baribarian, Zonnette is drinking wine when she notices a shooting star approaching Earth, giving her a strange feeling of some power. On Earth, the Pegasus workers and Dappu are watching fireworks as Yoko also spies the shooting star as if falls towards the city before arriving as a cat-faced vehicle driven by a girl who states she's arrived. Rushing over to a bridge, the girl admires "Nippon-pon" of "Earsh" and states she wants to meet the Carranger.
Back on the Baribarian, Gynamo asks Ritchihiker about his latest plan to stop the Carranger, which he confirms that he's using the hero researcher "SS Pamaan" to look into the team. Zelmoda recognizes him while Gynamo sees he's still wearing the same costume as prior; Ritchihiker states that they can rely on him if it involves learning about "knowing your enemy".
Later, the Pegasus workers head to the beach while Ichitaro pulls aside Signalman stating the two of them have to preserve everyone's summer, which the officer agrees with as they set up watch at the Kobaan Base. The duo see the strange girl pass by as she wonders where the Carranger are before deciding to use a wand, using the magic words "Tiramisu Konjac, Mille-fiurre", she changes into a swimsuit and approaches the beach as the boys play ball in the ocean while Natsumi tell them to get it themselves when they knock it towards her and Yoko. The girl gives it back to them which Minoru compliments she's cute; the girl asks about the Carranger as Minoru states they do as she asks where they are; making him nearly blurt out where they are until Natsumi stops him and states they don't know with Yoko, making the girl disappointed. Kyosuke tells the girl they went in another direction as she heads off, Minoru complaining about "their fan" as they wonder who she is. The five soon receive a mysterious flyer stating that "a new hero is born" and that the "Gekiso Sentai" is old news, making them wondering what's going on as Yoko figures the Bowzock are behind it.
The five soon see the Bowzock vehicles approaching driven by SS Pamaan and the four patrons typically of the BB Saloon of the Baribarian! SS Pamaan shoots several flowers and introduces himself as Zoku Red; the others introduce themselves likewise as Zoku Blue, Zoku Green, Zoku Yellow and Zoku Pink. The Carranger soon arrive seeing the five gather together, SS Pamaan declare they are the Reckless Driving Sentai Zokuranger; but Red Racer states that they'll crush them as they summon their ViBlade and fight SS Pamaan and the Zokuranger with their weapons. SS Pamaan states he had studied the Carranger and knows all of their moves as he stabs Kyosuke; each of the other Carranger fight the other Zokuranger; Naoki being slammed by Zoku Blue, Minoru knocked down by Zoku Green, Natsumi being kicked down by Zoku Yellow and Yoko thrown aside by Zoku Pink. As the Carranger try to recover, SS Pamaan states this is how teamwork is really done as they summon the "Ranger Ball", beginning a Gorenger Storm-like maneuver that SS Pamaan kicks towards the Carrangers, blowing them up.
SS Pamaan state their game is over as the Carranger falls to the ground and he draws out a gun to shoot them...until they are stopped by a mysterious card introducing someone named "Radietta"; he's surprised as the mystery girl fires sparkles from her parasol! She soon states she found the Carranger as she introduces herself; SS Pamaan wonders who she is as the girl states she was lead to "Earsh" by Carmagic Power to be the Carranger's 6th member and their little sister! Shocked by the girl's declaration, she summons her wand and introduces herself as Radietta Fanbelt and "transforms to fight for justice" as she changes form into a white Carranger-like form, stating she is the "Gekiso Girl White Racer", shocking the Zokuranger and Carranger! White Racer uses the "White Knock-Out Riddle Bomb", throwing it at SS Pamaan stating that if he gets the riddle wrong, it will blow up; the riddle being "What food makes Papa happy"; the Zokuranger become confused not knowing the answer as it blows up, giving the Carranger time to use the Auto Blaster to push the Zokuranger away as Radietta reveals the answer as "Papaya".
The Carranger thank Radietta for saving them as she states they'd make her blush as she summons out a book for autographs which the team obliges to alongside a picture with the alien fan. Radietta asks to go to their base but Kyosuke asks if Radietta really is their sixth member; she laughs as she uses a spell, "Mireta Hareta Radietta" to turn back to her original form, stating she's just a fan who can transform via magic. Radietta states she read about them in an article and came to Earsh to meet them, shocking the team as they realize they were famous throughout the galaxy now. Radietta states she likes how the Carranger don't take things too seriously and thinks she's a perfect member being similar; but Kyosuke says she can't join since she could get hurt in their battle; Radietta asks how they're being so serious suddenly as she cries, shocking the team as she runs away from them. The Carranger criticize Kyosuke for making a girl cry like that.
On the Baribarian, Gynamo feels betrayed in his trust in SS Pamaan, the Gorotsuki feeling embarrassed by his failure. Grotch states they will be able to win next time as he unveils their new weapon: the Zokuren Bazooka, stated to be five times more powerful than the Giga Formula but needs a "Fanbelt Diamond" to empower it. Zelmoda states that "Fanbelt Diamonds" are stones from the other side of the universe and they don't have time to get them; but Gynamo reveals that Zonnette has one, him stealing a charm the female had on her wrist stated as her "favorite piece of jewelry" as SS Pamaan states they're just borrowing it and Gynamo confirming that once the Carranger are stopped, she can have it back; Zonnette holding him and SS Pamaan to the promise.
On Earth, Radietta is putting drops in her eyes claiming they're blurry from how "Earsh"'s air isn't good for her. SS Pamaan and the Zokuranger soon arrive stating they want her as the alien girl runs away. At the Carranger base, Natsumi shows sympathy on Radietta from coming so far and meeting them like this but Kyosuke states that they're not playing games in their battle, which Minoru tries to deny. The Bowzock soon appear forcing the team to transform and pursue as they return to the ocean and confront the Zokuranger stating they can't get away. SS Pamaan shows the captured Radietta as she calls for them and states as long as they have her, the Carranger can't fight them; Yoko states it's cruel but SS Pamaan states it's not fair that the Carranger fight the Gorotsuki five-on-one! The team decide to go after the team as they fire their own Giga Formula weapons at the team and SS Pamaan keeps shooting them with his gun. Radietta frets that she caused this and she has to do something to stop this as the villains summon the Zokuren Bazooka, knocking the Carranger down with ease! SS Pamaan declares the end of the Carranger as Radietta keeps wondering what to do and the Carranger flail on the ground.
Realizing what to do as SS Pamaan prepares for the final blow, the Gorotsuki notice Gynamo tied up where Radietta was on the post! He states he came to watch them but Radietta tied him up as SS Pamaan save "him", the "president" calling him an idiot and knocking him away as he changes back into Radietta shocking them! She tells the Carranger they have a chance as the Zokuranger prepare the Zokuren Bazooka only for them to be easily crushed by the Formula Bazooka in return! With the other Zokuranger fallen and the Fanbelt Diamond knocked away, SS Pamaan uses Imocho imo youkan to grow and Radietta discover it realizing the red one that matches her white one. The giant SS Pamaan states he knows about RV Robo as well and prepares for his ultimate attack: the Galaxy Lightning Dark-Matter Sword's Bolt Lightning Plasma Cyber Aurora Super Thunder...but he can't finish it as the Carranger use their simple Gekiso Cut to destroy him.
That night, Radietta apologizes for disturbing them and decides to go home to study to become the sixth Carranger, promising she'd return. Yoko tells her to not push herself while Kyosuke and Minoru are more supportive as the girl enters her car and saves her new friends off and flies back into space. In space, Radietta states she needs to come up with a move for the next time she returns as she hangs her photo in her car.
