Scary! Nezirejia's Fiendish Squadron (戦慄! ネジレジアの凶悪戦隊 Senritsu! Nejirejia no Kyōaku Sentai) is the thirty-eighth episode of Denji Sentai Megaranger. This is the opening episode of a six-part arc dealing with the Megaranger facing an evil Sentai, the Jaden Sentai Neziranger, and features a major revelation of Dr. Hinelar.
Synopsis[]
When Dr. Hinelar releases an evil Sentai squadron which destroys the Megaranger, Kubota is forced to investigate their connection to Dr. Samejima, his former friend and partner.
Plot[]
Kenta uses his Digitizer to call Prof. Kubota for a non-emergency and gets scolded that the Digitizer is not a cellular phone. He and Miku are talking to a friend of theirs who has a new laptop, when the Digitizer alarm goes off signaling Neziregia readings. The two rush off to join the other Megarangers, and they see a duplicate Megaranger team attacking people at a warehouse district. The two teams fight, and the battle is taken inside a darkened warehouse. Inside, the fake Megaranger team transforms into their true forms. The Nezirangers proceed to easily defeat the Megarangers, and then place their hands on the Megarangers' helmet symbols, absorbing something from them, and then vanish when Mega Silver arrives.
Prof. Kubota recognizes the Nezirangers as the prototype battle suits designed by his former science colleague, Samejima. Years ago, Samejima discovered another dimension and although Kubota tried to warn him that it was too dangerous, Samejima wanted to enter the other dimension and explore it. He was sucked in and Kubota never saw him again.
Meanwhile, the Nezirangers are scanning the airwaves across the city. They have stolen the Megarangers' communication patterns and can now track any communication made over the Digitizers, teleport there instantly, and attack the Megarangers in their civilian secret identities before they can transform. However, the new laptop devices like Kenta's friend had transmit similar patterns, and the Nezirangers are zeroing in on these and attacking innocent civilians thinking they are the Megarangers. Kubota has figured out the Nezirangers' plan and puts a lock on the Digitizers to protect the Megarangers.
He then goes to Samejima's old mansion to look for clues as to his involvement with the Nezirangers. The civilian Megarangers follow him but are kept out by a force field. Kubota goes inside the mansion and activates a holographic projection of Dr. Hinelar. Kubota recognizes Hinelar as his friend Samejima and asks him why he is in league with Neziregia. Hinelar responds that he wants to take over the world. The Megarangers, thinking Kubota is in trouble, get Yuusaku at INET to remove the lock on the Digitizers.
They transform, and the Nezirangers zero in on the transform code and teleport there, but they get there after the Megarangers change. The two teams fight again, the Nezirangers using the "Evil Electric Energy Attack", shooting five fireballs at the Megarangers. Hinelar tells Kubota that his team will soon be dead, and Kubota rushes outside to see the two teams fighting. The Nezirangers have the upper hand but back at the Neziranger base, Javious screams in pain. Hinelar calls the Nezirangers back and realizes that they are linked to Javious, so that the more they exert their power, the greater pain Javious feels. The Megarangers are badly injured, and they know the Nezirangers will return again soon.
