Karakasa Dance Queen (唐傘ダンス女王(クイーン) Karakasa Dansu Kuīn) is the thirty-seventh episode of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger.

Synopsis[]

Sasuke and Tsuruhime must come to the rescue of several children and the other Kakuranger when they become captured by a dancing Yokai hoping to use them to entertain Daimaou's birthday party.

Plot[]

In a forest, several boys are spying for something when they see Nekomaru driving up to them; they set up a box in the middle of the road and lie in wait as the bus stops. Sasuke and the others check on the box as the kids push a button, causing them to be hit by sparklers as they throw mud on them, celebrating their little prank as they slam tree branches on them and drop them into pits. However out of nowhere, Ninjaman pops in and scares one of the boys in punishment, allowing the other Kakuranger to catch him as he shrinks down; Seikai is surprised he can do that as Ninjaman states he can grow and shrink at will before leaving off again at their thanks. At the Yokai Mansion, Daimaou hears the Kakuranger are about laughing at how they were pranked by the kids as he gets an idea. A while later, a strange woman is dancing about with several Dorodoro; she is stated by Daimaou as "Karakasa" and she takes his compliment of her dancing as she admits it's his 1200th birthday tomorrow and she has been practicing for his party. Daimaou states that there is one present he wants more than anything for this party: the Kakuranger, captured and their livers served as a gift while using the prank by the kids against the team.

Later by a river, Saizou discovers from the captured boy that he's been failing at school but is pranking grown-ups because he blames them for society being the way it currently is, punishing them for leaving the world for him to be a mess. Saizou states that if the boy can't get good grades, he should study; but Sasuke tells him to forgive the kid for being a kid while Seikai states that they have to capture and punish the boy's co-horts as well! From a distance, one of the other boys asks Masahiko, the mastermind, what to do, while Masahiko states they'll get back Hiroki; but the larger kid worries the five are strong. Without warning, Karakasa appears stating she'll help them. As the Kakuranger continue doing their laundry, Tsuruhime states that they'll have to be barefoot for a while, making Seikai state that isn't right while several Dorodoro grab onto the shoes with Masahiko and his friend running off to force the Kakuranger to chase them! Saizou, Seikai and Jiraiya pursue but Sasuke noticed the Dorodoro and figured it may be a trap while yelling at the others to get back. The Dorodoro appear with Sasuke fighting them as Tsuruhime pursues the others. Masahiko and the other chase as Saizou tries to catch them but the kids suddenly start literally walking on air escaping them as they rush into a work site, stepping on thumbtacks in the process! Saizou swears vengeance, but Seikai notices a suspicious set of yellow and blue shoes that they could use. Meanwhile, Sasuke continues to fight the Dorodoro when he's confronted by Karakasa, who states its her trap as she transforms into her Yokai form, stating she's the Western-style version as she starts dancing around. Yet as she dances, Saizou, Seikai and the two boys rush out and also start dancing, stating they can't stop as long as they're wearing these shoes! Karakasa states these are her "Dancing Shoes" and if she orders to dance, you can't ever stop and states she'll take the five for the birthday party of Daimaou, making them dance and then serving them as the main dish for the Yokai; as she vanishes, the five start running away without control as NinjaRed can barely keep up. Ninjaman soon discovers the chase stating they need his help crashing into Jiraiya as Sasuke tries and fails to get the shoes off; he throws shuriken to remove them as Ninjaman steps on them to hold them down.

Karakasa apologizes later at Daimaou for only getting two Kakuranger and the two boys, stating she tried to get them all; but Daimaou notices she has no need to as he realizes the Kakuranger took one of the Dancing Shoes, which they can use to capture the rest. Later, Sasuke admits they can't find the others and Jiraiya states they're blocking the Doron Changers with jamming signals. Tsuruhime reminds them that today is Daimaou's birthday and the four will be eaten, until Jiraiya remembers the shoes they captured, stirring about in a cardboard box making the team realize that if they release them, they'll lead them straight back to the Yokai.

Later at Daimaou's birthday celebration, the Yokai celebrate as Daimaou thanks them for attending and tells them to drink and enjoy themselves and Karakasa asks to drink for their leader's help, the conquest of humanity and the building of the Yokai Empire. Karakasa states she will now present a dance celebration by the Kakuranger and captured children, with Saizou and Seikai dancing without control while Karakasa states they'll also be part of the meal for tonight, shocking the two captured Kakuranger. Outside, the Dancing Shoes continue to fly off as Tsuruhime tells Hiroki to hide in Nekomaru as the three Kakuranger go to rescue their partners. Sneaking into a subway, the duo slip around discovering the Daimaou celebration as Saizou, Seikai and the boys continue to dance while losing their breath; Jiraiya nearly loses it but is held back by the other two from attacking. The team goes into the kitchen but meanwhile the quartet of dancers start losing control as the music keeps getting faster and more chaotic for them. Karakasa declares it's time for the birthday cake as two Dorodoro role out a present, revealing Sasuke inside with Tsuruhime and Jiraiya in disguise as the Dorodoro! Sasuke condemns Daimaou for capturing their friends and the children while Saizou and Seikai yell at them for taking so long. When Sasuke declares today as the end of the Yokai, Karakasa hits a button on a remote lowering a cage trapping the three as Daimaou laughs stating he knew they were coming and they had the whole team, allowing for all of them to meet their doom, even stating they'll be sliced up and eaten with wasabi and soy sauce!

However as Dorodoro approach to chop the team up, Ninjaman appears undetected, shrinking down and going under Karakasa's shoulder tickling her until she releases the remote. Without warning, Hakumenrou hits the controls and the entire base blows up, allowing for Saizou and Seikai to get theirs and the kids shoes off as Ninjaman admits that Daimaou forgot about him! Saizou and Seikai say it's his turn to dance as the five Kakuranger transform; the leader threatens to rip them to pieces as he uses his power to grow himself and Karakasa! As Masahiko and his friend run off, the Kakuranger summon their Super God Beasts and form Kakure Daishogun while Ninjaman grows giant confronting the Yokai duo. Karakasa attacks with her umbrella slashing the two heroes while Daimaou attacks with a Yoki tornado from his staff! Daimaou wonders if the Kakuranger can defeat him as Sasuke shows despair at the Yokai leader. However without warning, an electricity flies down as Muteki Shogun joins the battle, surprising Tsuruhime as Tsubasamaru also flies in fusing into Super Muteki Shogun and unleashing the Muteki Cannon blasting the leader. Daimaou withdraws, leaving Karakasa who is cowering behind him alone and confused. Ninjaman then tells her to prepare herself, which then she calls Ninjaman a "Blue Squirt", angering him enough and triggered his transformation into Samuraiman, which terrified her. Samuraiman unleash the Samurai Rage Bomberon at her, then she was hit by the Iron Fist God Finish, sending her flying. As she fall to the ground and dying, she calls out for Daimaou before exploding.

Later, Sasuke tells the boys to stop pranking and start studying as they leave downhearted. However, they suddenly throw pop bombs at the five, making Saizou, Seikai and Jiraiya chase them with them having not learned a thing. As they do, Sasuke and Tsuruhime admit they have all their allies together and they'll rely on them from here on out.
