The Blooming Abare Pink (花咲けるアバレピンク Hanasakeru Abare Pinku) is the thirty-eighth episode of Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger. It is the first of a two-part story featuring Emiri Imanaka "transforming" into her infamous Ranger form, AbarePink, as well as a battle against Lejewel and her own destructive Trinoid, and also revealing the identity of the new warrior in the Armor of Darkness.
Synopsis[]
With her parents planning to relocate to Thailand, Emiri must work on convincing them to let her remain in Japan so she can continue supporting the Abaranger team, even if it means pretending to be an actual Abaranger herself.
Plot[]
Not wanting to move to Thailand with her parents Emiri wants to prove she is a valuable asset to the Abarangers. When they don't believe her she decides to pretend she is an Abaranger herself during the Abaranger's battle against the latest Trinoid who is trying to turn women into flowers. However the battle ends pretty badly when AbareKiller and Lejewel arrive to protect Rougirafleshia, and Emiri herself becomes a victim. Then the Armor of Darkness shows up to help, but this time when AbareKiller knocks off his helmet, they confirm that the host of the armor is Asuka which also causes Mahoro who is watching this from the video screens at the Dino House to regain her memories.
