The Pirate Booba's Storm of Love (海賊ブーバ愛の嵐 Kaizoku Būba Ai no Arashi) is the forty-eighth episode of Dengeki Sentai Changeman. This is the first episode of the eight-episode endgame arc, marking Giluke's descent into obsessively pleasing Star King Bazeu by transforming his men into Space Beasts, beginning with Adjutant Booba; it further goes into Booba's life as a space pirate prior to Bazeu.

Synopsis[]

Booba's hatred of the Gozma is reawakened after Giluke attempts to make him a Space Beast and the return of his female pirate cohort.

Plot[]

Super Guiluke and Booba stand upon a mountaintop, opposing each other, ready for duel. After receiving a majority of the attack, Booba collapses and Super Guiluke states that he's going to turn him into a Space Beast Soldier, to the angry pirate's shock. Meanwhile, a frantic Ahames watches on from the Gozmard, asking Bazuu if he'd permit Guiluke doing such a thing. "As long as Changeman is defeated, it wouldn't matter if either Booba or the rest of you became Space Beast Soldier," he says bluntly, impatient at the delay his conquest has taken. Change Dragon discovers of the occurrence and hurries to the location on his Autochanger. Meanwhile, Super Guiluke continues his attack, telling his former colleague that since he's been unable to defeat them, by his power he'll be able to. A proud Booba declares, "I don't need to be made into a Space Beast Soldier to do that," firing a violent attack at Super Guiluke. In anger, Super Guiluke projects the beam to him once again, this time Booba's arms and legs transforming into the monstrous limbs of a Space Beast Soldier. Dragon arrives, witnessing the events in complete confoundment. Seeing Booba's suffering causes him to jump before Booba, prepared to shield the next attack. The furious Super Guiluke projects an attack to Dragon who blocks with Dragon Thunder, the force of which pushing them away from each other.

Hiryu awakens at the bottom of a cliff, weakly stumbling. He takes notice of Booba, awakening, who stands, threatening Hiryu in attack before collapsing once more from weakness. Just then, an attack interrupts Hiryu from making his way to Booba, the monster Bubuka revealing himself. A mysterious ship then flies overhead, wrapping Booba and the beast in a beam and taking them aboard. Booba awakens aboard the ship, taking notice and recognizing the flag which proudly hangs on the walls. He struggles to stand and make his way to the flag. "The flag of Space Pirate Booba...but why is it here," he asks, before collapsing. Just then, a sword's tossed his direction, taking him by surprise. A woman approaches, picking the sword up with a smile. He instantly recognizes her as Female Pirate Jeal. "I'm glad we're able to meet," she tells him happily, "I've looked all over for you." She extends her left hand, Booba doing the same, a pink band extending from each of their index fingers, uniting. Booba begins to stand, asking her about the flag. She proudly informs him that she obtained it when it was left behind after Booba was defeated by Bazuu, saying that "I thought that someday I could return it to you." The flag brings back memories for Booba, his days prior to being taken by Gozma, the days he was in charge of himself as a pirate, the times he and Jeal showered each other with the treasures they obtained. "Booba, let's again run wild together," she proposes. "I always knew this day would come, which is why I continued to search for you," Booba shaking his head in refusal as he then pulls away from her touch, looking away from the flag. "Today, I'm an adjutant for the Daiseidan Gozma," he confesses. "But you're not Gozma in your heart," she pleads, "your heart is simply Space Pirate Booba," she finds her words cut off by an angry Booba, in denial. "You don't understand the terror of Star King Bazuu," his voice shakes. "Unless I defeat the Changeman, then I can never become free," his words wrapped in regret. He thinks of becoming a Space Beast Soldier in terror, attempting to stand tall in confidence and preparation to depart, only to collapse. Jeal runs to his rescue and he pulls away from her touch. He tells her he refuses to die in such away, that he'll soon turn things around and "wave that flag throughout space," before limping to a control panel in the ship and speaking into its microphone. He makes a transmission to the Dengeki Base. In the command center of the Dengeki Base, the sudden sight of Booba's message takes them by surprise. "Changeman, listen well" he commands, speaking gruffly in confidence. "I am safe in this location. Today I'll certainly defeated you. Starting with you, Dragon..." he threatens, ending the transmission. It's a declaration of war, and Hiryu requests Ibuki permission that he go alone to keep the others out of it. Ibuki doesn't respond, knowing Hiryu's in no condition to take him on at this time, ignoring his pleas. Frustrated, Tsurugi turns and departs from the room, deciding for himself.

Shortly after, Hiryu rides his motorcycle to the location of earlier in hopes to find Booba, finding his path obstructed by Jeal. She attacks him relentlessly, Hiryu managing to catch the blade of her sword as she strikes him with it. Just then Bubuka arrives, firing past Jeal to Hiryu, as Jeal continues battling Hiryu. Bubuka approaches, tossing a spear towards them. Hiryu dodges, Jeal taking the spear to her chest, falling over the nearby cliff. The other Changemen arrive, telling Hiryu to go ahead with his business and leave the monster to them. Hiryu finds her, struggling to stand. He inquires who she is and why she interferes. "I regret to inform you that I'm to defeat you on behalf of Booba," she says. Hiryu prepares himself, demanding to know Booba's location. Jeal takes notices of Bubuka violently attacking the Changeman, calling off the monster from attacking. "I wanted to run wild to the ends of the universe with Booba, without Gozma ruling over him," she reveals. "But now everything is just a dream that won't come true," she says, collapsing. Hiryu dashes to her, holding her in his arms. "Carry me to where Booba is," she says sleepily. "I want to live in a world without fighting, with Booba and the two of us," she says. "I wouldn't regret risking my life if it meant to get Booba away from Gozma's rule and be together with him," she confesses, then pleading the Changeman for help.

Now assisting Jeal, Tsurugi and the five take her to where Booba's located. He's now outside of her ship, seeing the wounded woman. Jumping to conclusions, he attacks Hiryu, ignoring Hiryu's warnings to stop. "Stupid fool," Hiryu shrieks, punching Booba. "Jeal intended to fight in place of you since you're unable to," he reveals. Sho props Jeal up in support as Sayaka approaches her, trying to rationally reach out to Booba. "She loves you," Sayaka begins. "Out of that love, she wants to take you back to the universe and live peacefully, happily." Booba calls out to her lovingly, just as Super Guiluke arrives. He threatens that Booba will "remain useless if he doesn't become a Space Beast Soldier." "Shut up, Super Guiluke," Booba growls. "Even if you change my shape, I'll still have the heart of a Space Pirate," he proudly declares. "I'll show you that the pirate spirit can't be taken away," he threats, preparing to dive into battle with Super Guiluke, despite Jeal's desperate pleas for him to not. She crawls to him, grabbing his legs, continuing to beg him. As Super Guiluke prepares to fire upon Booba to transform him, Hiryu jumps out, standing before the two. Suddenly, he's met with an attack, as Bubuka joins the side of Super Guiluke, Booba dismayed at his betrayal. Hidoras arrive and Hiryu leads the others to change, Dragon instructing Jeal and Booba to retreat to the spaceship and flee. The ships takes off, Super Guiluke transporting himself to it. The two soon find themselves on the receiving end of Super Guiluke's attack. Fed up with the delay, Super Guiluke unleashes a force toward Booba which sends him collapsed, transforming most of his body into a Space Beast Soldier. Jeal looks on in horror as Booba curses Super Guiluke. Booba stands, falling and pulling the flag from the wall in attempt to gather himself. Jeal shrieks his name, racing to his side as Super Guiluke prepares the last of the attack. Jeal dashes toward Super Guiluke, receiving most of the attack. Her attempt to send a return attack more or less fails, Super Guiluke stumbling at most, as she collapses, the force of their attacks causing the control panel to explode and the ship to crash.

Super Guiluke has managed to escape the ship to Dragon's disgust, as Guiluke orders for Bubuka to attack. The Changeman fight, Bubuka eventually falling from an attack by Booba. Booba's figure emerges from the rubble of the ship, Booba wrapped in the flag. "I gave my word to Jeal...this flag...will wave throughout space," he declares. Guiluke is none too pleased to see him alive and his old self, as Booba then tosses the flag from around him in preparation to battle. "I'm still a space pirate to the bone," he exclaims, summoning his weapon. Both the Guiluke and the Changeman remain uncertain as to whom he's addressing, as Booba jumps over the Changeman, toward Guiluke. The two dash towards each other, armed. "Stop this," Bazuu calls out, projecting a beam to Earth that separates the two just before their weapons meet. Bazuu then orders Bubuka to defeat the Changeman. The Changeman turn it around, defeating Bubuka in no time.

Booba leans down to Jeal's body in sorrow, caressing her face. He extends his finger to hers, which is unresponsive, although their hearts are forever connected. He covers her body in the flag and carries her, as The Changemen watch him depart from nearby. "He wanted Jeal's dream granted," Sayaka observes. "A man like Booba isn't able to oppose the laws of Gozma, either," Hiryu observes. "He's a sorrowful man...Space Pirate Booba," he finishes.
