Plot[]
A boy named Takashi is running from some other boys as they look at his test, stating he scored a "3", the boys claiming it is his "best score ever". However, Takashi's brother Tsuyoshi soon appears making them scatter, the elder brother claiming they're teasing him again while the boy claims it's their fault. Tsuyoshi yells at him claiming that they're not brothers as Yuji rides by, making him tell the brothers to not fight while the elder brother states he can't stand having a brother like Takashi. But without warning, the trio are attacked by a new Machine Beast, Bara Cactus 1, who states that a member of Ohranger will be a victim of his attack and the perfect gift to Bacchus Wrath. OhBlue transforms and flies towards Bara Cactus 1, fighting against him and pushing him back before he uses stamen missiles attacking them before emitting a pollen that makes Takashi writhe in pain making his brother concerned before Yuji shoots it with his King Blaster and escorting the brothers to safety. Yuji and Tsuyoshi watch over the boy; the younger brother claiming he's fine now and running away from them.
That night, Takashi is seen eating metal objects like a stove range and a computer keyboard as his eyes glow suspiciously. The next day at school, the teacher asks who can solve an equation; she asks Takashi if he can which he does before stating he'll give a problem for them to solve, writing up a supremely complex equation even his teacher can't solve but he can, telling her to stand in the hallway! Later Takashi calls out the bullies who bothered him the previous day to get revenge, suddenly breathing fire as Tsuyoshi appears claiming something is wrong! Takashi claims they're not brothers as he pushes his older brother away, being caught by Yuji as Takashi tells him to stay away and has no use for filthy humans.
Yuji reports Takashi's change to the other Ohranger; Shouhei wonders why he's interested stating that with OhBlue an only child, he has weird ideas about how siblings work; Momo agrees stating all she did with her brother was fight. Yuji tells them to not explain how things are to him and states he knows what it's like to have a sibling. Elsewhere, civilians are attacked by the pollen of Bara Cactus 1 as Yuji sees more people eating metal and electricity on the streets. He's approached by Buldont who claims it was a fun idea using Bara Cactus, whose pollen can be used to make people who breathe it in eat machinery and take the abilities for themselves; making them lose humanity and run wild. A woman who ate a fire extinguisher breathes out fumes towards OhBlue as the prince summons Bara Cactus 1 and 2 to attack, revealing that Bara Cactus had a brother! The two Bara Cactus attack Yuji throwing him into a bench as the team meet up with him and transform to fight back. Elsewhere, Takashi is eating a car as the Ohranger are thrown down in a junkyard, the brothers charging to fight while Takashi's brother tries to drag him away. Bara Cactus 1 fights OhGreen and OhPink punching through a windshield and throwing them while Bara Cactus 2 fights OhBlue, Red and Yellow, easily crushing him. The team fires their King Blasters, but the two Bara Cactus join their hands blocking the attack as Bara Cactus 1 throws out a beam attack and crushes them. But when Bara Cactus 2 prepares to use an attack to finish them, he trips, making him fall and making his older brother knock him away for the failure, knocking a tire onto Tsuyoshi's leg and hurting him yet with the older brother forcing the younger brother Takashi to run away! Seeing Bara Cactus 1 as distracted by the human brothers, Bacchus Wrath fires a beam zapping him back to the moon, forcing the Ohranger to check on Tsuyoshi who tells them to look after his brother.
On the Moon, Bara Cactus 1 wonders what's going on as he wonders why humans can protect one another; Bacchus Wrath states it's "brotherly love" as the Machine Beast realizes he and Bara Cactus 2 are brothers. But the emperor knocks him away, stating he's a member of the Machine Empire and can't have such emotions, using his Barlo Soldiers to withstand Bara Cactus 2 and forcing the older brother to fight against them in defense before Bacchus Wrath fires on both of them! The emperor threatens Bara Cactus 1 to use his powers for the benefit of the empire or watch his little brother die, forcing him away!
The Ohranger fight Bara Cactus 1 again, attacking with their King Smashers while the Machine Beast attacks with his beam attacks. At the same time, Takashi steals the gun of a patrolman and places it in his mouth, eating it as Yuji sees him doing so. Yuji tries to save Takashi, stating his older brother got hurt to save him and is worried about him, making the boy realize that Bara Cactus is in danger and run away with OhBlue pursuing. The other Ohranger continue to attack Bara Cactus 1, knocking him down until Takashi appears before them, breathing fire against them before turning his hand into a gun and shooting at the team. Juri states they can't do anything with the boy there while Bara Cactus uses it's stamen missiles to shoot. Tsuyoshi yells at his brother to stop but Takashi states he isn't his brother, but with Tsuyoshi trying to explain that he did those bad things to his brother to try and make him brave. However Takashi tells him to quiet and places the gun towards him, preparing to fire, Tsuyoshi stating they are brothers and can't do anything to stop him. OhRed is attacked by an energy whip of Bara Cactus, knocking him to the ground during the showdown between the brothers. With no choice, Tsuyoshi takes the gun hand and holds on, making Takashi hesitate and making Tsuyoshi realize he understands their brotherly love and hugging him with endearment on their connection and waking Takashi up, changing his hand back to normal and re-establishing their brotherly love. Seeing Gorou's Star Riser, Takashi and Tsuyoshi state they'll fight together as brothers; but when they grab it, Yuji also takes it, stating he wished he had a brother just like the two of them. The other Ohranger continue to endure the attack as the trio charge at Bara Cactus with the Star Riser, stabbing him in the abdomen and knocking him down as OhBlue tells the boys to run away and he transforms. Bara Cactus 1 tells the team to face him as the Ohranger use their King Smashers and shoot together, defeating Bara Cactus.
Later, Takashi and Tsuyoshi play soccer together, their brotherly connection resurrected as the Ohranger watch on happily while Yuji states they're lucky to be brothers. Gorou and Shouhei offer to be Yuji's brothers and take him in as Yuji tries to run from them. Meanwhile on the Moon, Bara Cactus 1 discovers his younger brother hanging dead on chains, his hand and heart removed and his head with a cavity in it's skull. Bara Cactus 1 asks why they killed Bara Cactus 2; Bacchus Wrath explains that he sees they both share a similar structure physically and that all who hold the potential for love must be purged. Bara Cactus staggers to the dead body of Bara Cactus 2 as he's obliterated other than his head, with the emperor stating all love is worthless to them before crushing Bara Cactus's head under his foot. Bacchus Wrath states this is the never-ending silence that Baranoia desires and that they will gain it for Earth by killing the Ohranger.
