Walking through a park, Rin spots a hurt bird, pitying it before she catches it dropping her groceries; yet her hands touching a man also going after it. The two stare into each other's eyes, the man apologizing as they treat the bird before the man takes pictures of Rin seeing her smile; stating he could have use for it, he gives her his card revealing himself as Shoichiro Takamura, a media creator. Rin states the encounter was like a shojo manga, making her heart flutter.
Lin walks with breads in her hands and spots an injured bird. It falls and when she goes to catch it, a man's hands touch her as she rescues the bird. She is surprised. He helps her heal the bird and he takes her picture. He presents her with his card, Shouichirou Takamura, a photographer. The core male Dairangers run to show Master Kaku a poster of Lin in an advertisement. He shows them an entire book of photos. They scream in amazement. They meet with her outside as she is jogging and she is modest. She bids them farewell and jumps into the air. A montage of all the pictures Lin takes with different poses, costumes and settings. During a photo session with him, she takes a picture of them together with her own camera she set up. We see the photograph she took and the camera zooms out to show she is holding it in her Dairanger uniform. She then sings a song in a recording studio with him in the booth. She becomes so popular that she signs autographs for many. At night, he takes her home in his fancy red car. She faints. He is concerned. She is modest. She goes back up to her apartment. He develops the photos and Gara comes to him and reminds him of his mission. He becomes his Gorma form, the [[Media Magician]]. Outside Lin's apartment building, the male Dairangers grow concerned from what Byakkoshinken tells them. The next day, the core male Dairangers pass by posters of Lin. Young people all over see pictures of Lin and suddenly develop fangs. Hordes of people gather together and blow up buildings together. They also set cars on fire. The core males notice this and try to snap the people out of it, but the people are under a trance. They are then blown away by a powerful attack similar to Lin's. The attack came from Media Magician, who approaches them. The core male Dairangers fight the Gorma monster. He takes a photo of them that causes them to be frozen, for him to slash them. Ryou then attacks him with an independent chi attack. He drops his sword. He bleeds blood due to Ryou's attack and retreats. Takamura comes in hurt to the master control room of the TV station. Lin enters and is concerned. She tends to his wound. She gives him the picture she took of them. She turns to leave, he calls for her. He asks her why she always smiled and she told him because she liked him. He is a taken back by this. The core male Dairangers see Lin performing her idol debut from an outside screen but Gara quickly comes to stop them. Lin sings her song, not knowing it will drain her entire soul. Her energy starts glowing a bright pink. The energy effects everyone watching. More people develop fangs. She grows weak and falls, yet this doesn't stop her as she gets up once again and continues singing. He clutches his wound and remembers her words. He realizes she did all the idol stuff not for her vanity, but for him. He grabs the picture she gave him and exits. Gara wipes the floor with the core male Dairangers which makes her happy. What doesn't make her happy is that... Takamura ran to get Lin out of the studio before she could be killed by the draining of her soul. He takes her to the beach in his red car. He tells her what he is and though she refused to believe him, She clutches him and then holds his hand. He then lets go. He makes a fist. He goes near the shore and falls to his knees. He wails why he had to be born Gorma. She comes to him and assures him that Gorma or not, he was Takamura and she loves him. They nearly kiss, until Gara arrives, peeved but neither of the lovers would yield the other to her. Rin tries to transform, her power was too drained and couldn't transform. Gara aims to attack Lin but he blocks the attack. He falls on the sand and Lin tends to him. He then transforms into his Gorma form. He ties Gara up with video tape from his hands. He calls for a video projection of Ryuuseioh's fire attack and it emits real fire on Gara but it's not enough. Gara takes advantage that they are tied together and blasts him with energy. Once loose, she attacks him with energy from her weapon. He is blasted back to his human form. The core male Dairangers arrive. Lin runs to her love. As he lays dying, he tells Lin that he wishes to be reborn as a human, so he could see her smiling face once again. Takamura seems to fade away but he reverts back to his Gorma form. Lin takes the flowers from her hair and places them in her fallen lover's hands. Gara sneers at all this and blames his death on the weakness of love. Lin furious, goes after Gara and calmly transforms into Houhouranger. She grabs Gara by the cuff and makes a fist with her hand. Lin raises her fist and punches Gara down to the ground. Gara throws an enlarging bomb at his corpse and Gara uses his lifeless body as a giant puppet, mindlessly attacking. The core Dairangers call their Mythical Chi Beasts and form Dairen'Oh. Lin says a heartfelt speech. When Media Magician is destroyed, instead of an explosion that usually occurs when a Gorma dies, large sparks and flares appear. The photo Lin gave him falls to the sand. Lin approaches it and picks it up. She puts it near her heart. Lin drops the photo into the water and it's swept up by the tide. She sings softly and sadly to herself as the others watch her.

Later the male Dairanger storm into their headquarters revealing a poster to Master Kaku...with Rin on it! The other Dairanger wonder if it's a look-alike, while Kaku states that she's in another pic in a magazine, the team realizing the bookstore was crowded as they see her photos, the squad shocked that she's become an idol. Asking Rin later, she states they're blowing things out of proportion but the team states they aren't; Ryo asking why she didn't tell them and she states she couldn't help it while asking them about the book as Shoji states it was unbelievable, they couldn't believe it was her! Rin states that the person who took them stated "without love, you can't get photos like that", shocking the team. Daigo asks if she's lost weight and she states that it makes her cuter while stating she has to head to perform singing lessons, further surprising the team. Time passes as Rin continues to take pictures with Shoichiro while preparing a single under his guidance as she becomes more popular to the public.

Some time passes: Rin thanks Takamura before she falls down with a headache; the man asks and she apologizes as he asks if the lessons are too hard; Rin responds that whatever she has to put herself through, it will be for Takamura, making him happy. Rin confesses her love for him but stating its only for his pictures, feeling the kindness in his photos before departing. Later while developing the photos, Takamura states that Rin is an idiot for thinking he's kind and that every time he takes her photo, he's stealing her Qi. Gara appears before the manager, stating his true name as "Media Magician" and revealing that the photos taken of Rin steal her Qi and then are used directly in those photos to shower humanity as a means to turn them into Gorma slaves; the Gorma Minion revealing himself to her.

As this happens, Kou reveals to Ryo that there is something wrong with Rin barely being able to stand; they wonder if she's weakening but Kou states she went off to do a TV show she promised she'd do. Byakko states that somehow he can't sense Rin's Qi, making the team further worried. Wandering, the team decide to go to the TV station as a girl passes a Rin poster; speaking to her telling her she'd give her Qi and they're all friends of Gorma transforming her into a monster and doing the same to others looking at Rin's photo throughout town. The brainwashes use Qi together to destroy buildings through the town causing chaos as the Dairanger watch; forcing them to try and stop them before a Qi blast by a boy throws them down, confusing them as Daigo reveals they're all using Qi! Media Magician appears before the other Dairanger stating their plans are already put into motion through photos and TV bombarding humans throughout the world with Qi turning them into Gorma; and when that's accomplished, Rin will lose all her Qi and die! Elsewhere, Rin weakly sits in her dressing room stating she has to get through this while Media Magician states she doesn't have enough Qi to fight; angering the male Dairanger to transform; they attack the Gorma Minion throwing him off a bridge, but he uses his "Media-Fist Pause" to freeze the Dairanger and then attack them in their frozen state. Taunted by Media Magician, Ryo uses his "Energy Ball" to hit him forcing him to bleed from his arm and retreat and forcing the Dairanger to rush to the TV station.

At the station, Media Magician turns back into Takamura cursing the Dairanger before Rin appears before him; he wonders why she's here with the show about to start but his bleeding makes her worried as he states it's merely a scratch; she wraps a handkerchief asking what happened to Takamura while pitying him and warning him to be more careful. She gives the producer a photo of the two of them giving it to him before running off; Takamura stops her asking while she's still smiling despite being exhausted before she states she likes him, surprising the Gorma Minion as he looks at the photo. The male Dairanger make it to the station as Rin's performance begins, being taunted by Gara forcing them to transform again and fight to Rin's performance. Takamura continues to watch her from a control room while her Qi continues to emanate from her body to the populace brainwashing them into Gorma. As the song goes on, Rin weakens and falls down but continues to sing, making Takamura realize what he's doing is wrong while reflecting on his bandage again and Rin's words. Outside, Gara attacks the Dairanger stating that when Rin's song ends, Hououranger will die; but Takamura appears on set to grabs her, angering the general.

On a beach, Takamura reveals to Rin he had deceived her and he is with the Gorma, making her claim it's a lie as he states that Takamura is merely an illusion and she will know his true form. Rin screams at him to stop and runs up to him; the man asks why he was born of the Gorma as Rin states even if he's Gorma, he's still Takamura. The two stand but Gara shoots them saying she's had enough melodrama and the moment that Takamura chose love was the moment he chose death! Rin tells Gara she won't let her have him and tries to use her Aura Changer but it won't spark due to her exhausted Qi! Gara uses a Yo whip to attack but Takamura takes the hit, falling to the ground as Rin runs to him and she laughs. Takamura states he won't let her have Rin while turning into Media Magician, binding Gara with film and then using a "Media Attack" to create a fire-throwing head before she uses more Yo to release the binds and then attack Media Magician making him fall towards the ground. Rin runs to Takamura as the other Dairanger arrive; the man states that in his next life, he will be born as a human so he can see her smiling face again before he finally dies, dying and turning back into Media Magician one last time. Saddened, Rin removes the flowers from her hair and places them into the Gorma Minion's hand. Gara states a Gorma heart is filled with hate and has no room for kindness in it; Rin states she won't forgive Gara for this as her Qi appears and turns her back into Hououranger. Lifting her fist, Hououranger punches Gara in the face forcing her to throw out an Enlargement Bomb at Media Magician's body, making him rise one last time. The team summon the Mythical Qi Beasts to become Dairen'Oh; the revived Media Magician charges as Rin states she won't forget the short time she spent with Takamura as she summons the Great King Sword to slash at the giant Media Magician and uses Great Storm and Stress to finish him off, the Gorma fading into dust as he drops her photo.
