Notes

• Viewership: 6.7%
• The parents of the Hoshikawa siblings, Hiroshi and Midori have been aged after 20 years of separation with their children as Hiroshi gains a mustache and a small gray hair in each sides while Midori appears as an older version of her daughter Kazumi.
• Garoa's face became green in this episode as one of his horns is slashed in half by Gaku as FiveRed.
• Gaku as FiveRed fights Chevalier in a final sword duel with Chevalier, who binds the two of them together with a chain that will be unbreakable until at least one of them is dead. This method would be used again much later in Mahou Sentai Magiranger. It was used to settle the final battle between Hikaru and Meemy.
• For the second time, Gaku stabs an enemy before finishing him off. (This time with Chevalier; the first is Billion.)
• This episode marks the first time FiveBlue pilots the Super Fiverobo with his siblings along with Arthur G6 on their side while FiveRed faces Chevalier.
