Synopsis[]
Juri investigates a strange cram school secretly controlled by Acha where students get perfect test scores at the cost of being controlled by a Machine Beast.
Plot[]
In an apartment, Shouhei is cooking while Juri sets up plates; a boy named Masao wonders if they're done but Juri states he hasn't washed his hands as she tells him to do so and the boy claims she's bossy, which Shouhei agrees with stating "Old Lady Juri is famously bossy", which offends Juri. Finishing the dumplings, Shouhei serves them for three of them, impressing Masao as he compliments them. Shouhei states Juri is good at a lot of things, but cooking isn't one of them, further insulting her as he states she should learn too. Masao points at multiple 100-grade papers he has on a nearby wall, shocking Shouhei stating he's a genius, as the boy starts doing a strange dance which Juri recognizes as of the "Achacha School"; Shouhei asks what that is and Juri states it's a learning school where you sing and dance and get 100 on every test. Shouhei wonders if that's suspicious and Juri states it's worth investigating.
Juri is lead by Masao to the Achacha School, where he meets with other kids. Without warning, a bizarrely dressed flashy bald man appears in the classroom who greets the kids, which Juri identifies as Dr. Henna, making her wonder how a robot researcher would be in a place like this. Henna tells the kids that it's time to sing and dance today as he turns on the music making everyone dance to a song about Acha and Kocha of Baranoia! Juri quickly recognizes the song about Baranoia's butlers as Henna offers Juri to dance but she is embarrassed by it until she's forced into it, having fun without realizing it.
After the class, Juri tells Masao to go straight home as she's on emergency patrol; as he leaves, she sneaks back into the Achacha School and listens in as she hears Henna making a negotiation with Acha about "looking inside him" as promised prior, but the butler tells him to not dissect him. Juri appears before them as she figured they'd be behind something so suspicious and wonders what they're plotting. But without warning, a small spider descends and bites Juri; OhYellow throws it on top of Henna's head as he screams saying he hates spiders as it grows into it's true form: Bara Tarantula! OhYellow tells Henna to run as Acha and Kocha force the Machine Beast to fight OhYellow who transforms and fights it but has a hard time with it's skills. As Acha gives it the instruction of "6/8 time", Bara Tarantula makes Juri dance involuntarily; the Ohranger tries to contact her teammates but continues to dance as she worries about what she's even doing before the Machine Beast hits her and throws her out of the building. Outside, OhYellow tries to continue fighting but the other Ohranger soon show up; the team teams up on Bara Tarantula who tries to escape by climbing a wall before being shot down by the King Smasher; but it soon turns into a smaller spider form and runs away, frustrating the team.
At UAOH base, Miura discovers the spider bite on Juri's neck; Gorou wonders what it is as Miura states it's a control device, frustrating OhYellow further as the Tarantula made her dance a Tarantella! Miura explains that a Tarantella is a dance of Southern Italy with violent movements; it's said that when bitten by a poisonous tarantula, the only way to cure it is by violent dancing! Gorou wonders if the children are also being controlled by the control device; while Miura orders the team to close the Achacha School and save the children. Meanwhile on the moon, Bacchus Wrath notes that the Ohranger caught on to Acha's scheme as he wonders if the singing and dancing was too conspicuous and states they'll hold off on that next time. Hysteria tells them they are obstacles now but Acha claims it will be alright since Bara Tarantula will further increase his control. Buldont states that humans don't care about how they do it as long as their grades improve and they'll use that to gain control of more humans.
Later, Masao's mother complains about the suddenly closed Achacha School, wondering why they'd do that and Gorou states it was a Baranoia trap. The mother wonders if the team wants her to give up on her son getting into a private middle school, but Juri tells her that it's all Baranoia's manipulation and she needs to open her eyes. The mother wonders if the Ohranger will take responsibility of Masao's grades slip and states she will do her job as a parent to look after her son's education as she leaves in a huff, frustrating OhYellow. Gorou states their only option now is to sever the line to the controller; Bara Tarantula itself.
At school, the teacher hands out the tests, but Masao worries he can't handle it. Outside the school in a truck, the Ohranger spy on the class with cameras to make sure the children are doing alright, making Juri worry that Masao will get a zero on the test. As he worries, a spider descends near Masao, as Acha, Kocha and Bara Tarantula watch from the gym with the butler worrying that the boy is just hopeless! Kocha tells Bara Tarantula to give him the answers, which he does through the receiver in his neck making him answer the questions with ease. Juri becomes shocked in Masao suddenly answering the questions while Yuji notices faint radio waves that weren't there prior, which Gorou wants to spy on and tells OhBlue to move the camera. Moving the camera back, they notice the spider as another miniaturized camera, making Gorou reason that its leader must be near and forcing them into action.
Heaving onto the school campus, the Ohranger investigate with Yuji and Momo going in one direction and Gorou, Shouhei and Juri in another. Arriving in the gym, Gorou's team discover the source of the signal, tracing it to the gym closet where they discover Acha and Kocha and their camera watching the kids, making Juri realize that by this method, anyone can get a 100 on a test! As Gorou calls the action unforgivable, he kicks Acha away but Bara Tarantula appears forcing the team to fight against it as it ambushes them and throws them out of the gym into the outside. The Ohranger regroup and fight the Machine Beast, Yuji hitting it's back with gymnastics giving them time to transform and attack. Bara Tarantula fires smaller spiders onto OhBlue and OhPink, paralyzing them until they can't move; OhYellow attacks with her Twin Baton and knocks it down but she's knocked away as well. Riki suddenly joins them as KingRanger and hits it with his King Stick allowing for the spiders off the other Ohranger to fall off. Bara Tarantula fires beams from its legs, forcing the team to use the Ole Bazooka which easily defeat it.
Acha and Kocha soon grow the spider Machine Beast, forcing the team to summon Ohranger Robo; Bara Tarantula continues its assault before firing a net electrocuting it. Soon summoning Red Puncher, it too is knocked down by a net as Bara Tarantula kicks it away and shocks both mecha. King Pyramider is summoned by KingRanger, destroying the web nets leading to the creation of King Pyramider Battle Formation and the usage of the Super Legend Beam to destroy the Machine Beast.
Later, Masao plays basketball with other kids as the Ohranger watch over him; Henna sooner appears stating that he can help them with the Achacha school, but everyone sees him as strange and ignore him. Juri notices he still has a receiver on him, making the doctor wake up from the control and with the Ohranger warn him to not go near Baranoia again; but Henna claims he still wants to dissect Acha as he starts dancing to Acha and Kocha's song, making the team wonder why he's so strange.
