Synopsis[]
Jiraiya fights to take down his former teacher Gali in revenge for his father, only to ultimately discover the machinations behind the dark incident in NinjaBlack's past.
Plot[]
Jiraiya and Gali fight one another after the revelation of the murder of Jiraiya's father, NinjaBlack charging at him and using his rope to tie up and throw his teacher around while asking why he killed his father. Gali states Jiraiya is soft before cutting the rope and firing another attack at him slamming Jiraiya into a barrel while stating that his student was taught to stay calm in a fight and can't defeat an enemy on anger alone. Jiraiya yells at him to shut up, but Gali hits him down again and again and yells at him that he's stronger than he's making himself appear. The Kakuranger rises again as Gali prepares to fight, the two standing off as Sasuke wonders if Jiraiya will be alright and advises the other Kakuranger to come to them. The teacher and student fight once again, Gali hitting him around as Nue tells them to destroy one another while laughing manically. Elsewhere, Tsuruhime catches up with Nekomaru to join with Saizou and Seikai.
Elsewhere, Jiraiya and Gali continue their fight, both becoming unsteady and tired before falling down. Jiraiya continues to worry about how his father was killed by his teacher and how he won't forgive Gali, clutching his fists and screaming even as Gali fires more attacks towards him. Jiraiya uses his "Three Kick" towards Gali, throwing him down and grabbing his claw before rushing to attack with the weapon that killed his father, slashing at his teacher and kicking him about as blood flies and he slashes him right in the chest making him fall! Gali collapses as Jiraiya prepares to kill him, but can't bring himself to, crying for his teacher as he falls to the ground and takes his teacher's claws off with Gali losing his battle form. Gali states Jiraiya became so strong in a short time while revealing his stone necklace that he kept all along, Jiraiya crying out to him as Gali claimed he was a fool. Explaining, he revealed how eight years prior, Gali hit a truck while driving with his daughter; the child becoming permanently hospitalized with no means of saving her until Nue appeared, stating that if Gali killed Jiraiya's father, he'd save Gali's daughter. Since they were friends, he figured the officer would let his guard down. He further revealed that Jiraiya's father was about to reveal a group of assassins lead by Nue when Gali was given the power to kill him, making him realize he was out of his mind to save his daughter forgetting about his friend's son, making him feel regret and guilt and realized he couldn't forget about how his father looked, thus why he chose to take Jiraiya in; he knew he couldn't make up for it but figured he could raise a warrior just like Jiraiya's father in hopes he'd die by his hands. Jiraiya cries out hearing this horrific revelation while Gali reveals he performed many assassinations for Nue and then was ordered to kill Jiraiya, stating if he refused, he'd reveal the truth about what happened to his daughter. Gali claims he doesn't care if he found out and he came willingly knowing Jiraiya would kill him. With his final words, Gali claims he was a fool and that true enemies will make people suffer without hesitation and they're out of sight. Gali tells Jiraiya he must find the enemies and defeat them while giving up his necklace and stone about the mission given to him before finally passing. Jiraiya cries out to his deceased teacher, crying as Sasuke staggers to them, the American Ninja looking at the stone and placing it around his neck yelling for Nue to appear so he can take him on.
Yet without warning, the ground ruptures open and Nue appears, stating it was quite a show and was hoping for both to kill each other but prefers to kill Jiraiya by his own hands. Jiraiya swears he'll defeat Nue himself in honor of both his father and his teacher, Sasuke joining in as the two of them transform to fight the evil Yokai. Nue decides to end it now growing instantly as Jiraiya leaps towards him but is blasted by Nue's laser eyes. The two shoot him with the Kakulaser, which sparks a reaction from Jiraiya's Hidden Scroll, telling Nue he will summon his Ninja Beast God, God Gammer. Jiraiya states he won't forgive the Yokai who states he won't be defeated by it as the frog mecha leaps forwards through the city before summoning "Gammer Dynamite", a platoon of smaller frog mecha that attach to Nue shocking him and then striking him with Gammer Fire, a fire breath attack. Nekomaru soon arrives with the other Kakuranger joining in, the other four all summoning their God Beasts. Sasuke states they'll defeat Nue as he uses his Double Sword Slash with God Saruder. Tsubasamaru soon joins shooting at Nue with the other God Beasts until Nue yells out for Daimaou, dying in the process.
Later, Jiraiya makes a grave for Gali, mourning him as Sasuke tries to comfort; Jiraiya states he won't be defeated for the sake of his father and Gali; he won't stop fighting until the Yokai are stopped. Tsuruhime is happier the team is together again, but the team feels refreshed that they feel a bit different now. The team soon returns to the city with Siimaabandha, the Kakuranger stating they will defeat Junior and stop Daimaou's revival.
