Synopsis[]
Ritchihiker enlists a fashion designer Gorotsuki to create a mind-controlling outfit that brainwashes Signalman and Sirender under his control to fight the Carranger.
Plot[]
On the Baribarian, Zonnette continues to contemplate Red Racer as Ritchihiker approaches her; he offers to buy her a skirt if she'd come with him to a nice hot spring on "Earsh", stating that it's an outdoor bath. Zonnette decides to go under the idea of being able to distract herself as she announces what she's doing to the Bowzock, Ritchihiker hiding the fact by stating he's going to "Earsh" to defeat the Carranger and Signalman!
On Earth, Dappu and the Carranger prepare for a barbecue with the heroes carrying all the materials. The alien states they need fresh air and clean water, a wide-open river bank, plenty of meat and lots of vegetables. He continues to check on the team as they make skewers while stating he wants yakisoba with almond pudding and sweet melons, making the team push Dappu away to get him off their back. Natsumi and Youko decide to go shopping to escape the alien as an alarm goes off for the Bowzock; Minoru complains the Bowzock shouldn't appear while they're having a barbecue but the alien tells them they have to find the Bowzock regardless.
Without warning, a squad of Wumpers start chasing a strange white car, passing by Kobaan Base as Signalman notices the disturbance and pursues. Youko and Natsumi go for ice cream as they see the Wumpers chasing the strange car and surrounding the alien within. Signalman arrives and orders the Wumpers under arrest for vandalism as they throw various clothing around before mostly vanishing. The driver assaulted by the Wumpers leaves their car and thanks Signalman for helping them out, announcing themselves as Zeri, the space fashion designer. Natsumi and Youko likewise arrive as Signalman introduces them to the fashion designer as they thank Signalman by giving him a jacket from their latest design collection, surprising the officer. Zeri soon gets to work as Signalman states he was just doing his job and can't accept a gift from them, wondering what will come of it as they finish a yellow plaid jacket that he tries on. Zeri states they put Signalman's logo on the jacket as he shows it off to the girls, the duo claiming he looks dumb but suddenly maddening him as he chases them away for their honest opinion and he throws a barrel at them! Youko calls for Kyosuke as the male Carranger find out about the angered Signalman as he chases them away; while Ritchihiker introduces the designer as actually ZZ Zeri, Bowzock's Fashion Designer and it was a trap to make Signalman wear the "jacket of anger"! Ritchihiker states they just need to control Signalman in the jacket with a remote control, which he activates as the symbol on the jacket lights up, making him angrier and forcing him to pull out his Signizer in Baton Mode! The female Carranger dodge his angry assaults rushing away as he chases them and the males arrive to restrain him and attempt to get him to listen to reason. The officer pushes them away and starts chasing all five Pegasus workers as Ritchihiker applauds Signalman attacking normal citizens and thus forcing the Carranger to arrive. He turns the remote again as Signalman fires the Signizer in Gun Mode stating he's angrier still!
The Carranger escape from view as they finally transform and Signalman sneaks around in search as the team surrounds him on all sides. Signalman laughs as Ritchihiker further activates the remote, peaking Signalman's anger as he summons Sirender without warning and fires a Signal Flash at the team on the ground! He soon transforms his mecha to it's battle mode telling the Carranger to surrender, making the team realize he's gone too far. With no choice, Dappu summons the Ranger Vehicles making the Carranger form into RV Robo to face against Signalman and fight against him.
The two mecha go at it with one another in the streets punching each other over and over, while ZZ Zeri works on another Rage Jacket for Sirender at Ritchihiker's request. The fashion designer works as the mecha keep punching one another, the instructor fearing Signalman's defeat until it's finally created. Ritchihiker states they need a rocket to deliver this anger jacket to Sirender, which ZZ Zeri points out as a huge rocket standing right by them! The Gorotsuki states it's ready to launch as the boosters fire up and fly towards Signalman, smashing Sirender and placing the Anger Jacket onto Sirender's body as instructed! Ritchihiker uses his remote to activate the Rage Jacket on Sirender, Signalman using the Raging Siren Dagger to slash RV Robo over and over as Minoru notes that the mecha got stronger with the jacket on, Natsumi stating the same happened earlier when Signalman put on his jacket! Kyosuke reasons the ugly jackets are the key to all this as he decides to go out and resolve it. Sneaking into Sirender's cockpit, Red Racer tries to get Signalman to stop as it continues to slash at RV Robo; he tries to remove the jacket, but it won't come off as Signalman's anger peaks once again, punching Kyosuke as he realizes he's being controlled. Red Racer notices Ritchihiker outside with the remote, realizing him as the evil space consultant the Bowzock hired and the fashion designer, realizing Zeri was a Bowzock as well!
Kyosuke signals Naoki and Minoru about the threat on the ground, the duo leaving Yellow and Pink Racer in RV Robo as the duo continue to take Sirender's angry attacks! Ritchihiker states he will bring the anger to max as Blue and Green Racer shoot Auto Blasters towards him knocking the remote to the ground destroying it and disabling the jackets with it, Kyosuke saving Signalman and explaining the ploy which the officer states he's alright now. Zelmoda and a Wumper squad suddenly appear and fight Naoki and Minoru as Ritchihiker gives ZZ Zeri some Imocho imo youkan to make them grow. The Gorotsuki attacks RV Robo as the male Carranger fight Zelmoda trying to get back to their allies and become blasted by him. Kyosuke tells Signalman that with Yellow and Pink Racer the only ones in RV Robo, he needs to help them which he agrees to as Red Racer dives out. Signalman states his own anger is being realized as he has Sirender shred off ZZ Zeri's jacket and charge into combat while Kyosuke helps the male Carranger with Zelmoda, shooting his Auto Blaster towards him making him retreat. The male Carranger push back to RV Robo as the girls take a blast from ZZ Zeri and he summons ribbon attacks to shock the Rangers until they're sliced off by Sirender. ZZ Zeri soon uses multi-colored fabric on Sirender to bind it into a shock attack while the male Carranger return to RV Robo and activate the Plugnado Spark to shock the Gorotsuki and allowing Signalman to use the Siren Vulcan and the Carranger use the RV Sword to finish ZZ Zeri off. Ritchihiker laments he's lost again as he leaves.
Later, Signalman apologizes to the Pegasus team about his earlier behavior, Kyosuke saying it's nothing. The Carranger mention they're hungry as Natsumi offers Signalman to join their barbecue which he agrees to.
On the Baribarian, Gynamo asks Zonnette about Ritchihiker's hot spring offer which she states is an outdoor bath, making the president angry. As the instructor returns to the BB Saloon, Gynamo tries to force Ritchihiker to speak but he states he'll defeat the Carranger and Signalman next time as a evil space consultant. Gynamo states he doesn't care about that, stating he wants to go to a hot spring too!
At the barbecue, Signalman states he doesn't have enough "red stuff" on his world as Dappu states he wants some too, the team giving him cabbage as he delights to it while eating yakisoba.
