Sypnosis
With their mecha defeated and the Galleon badly damaged, the Gokaigers engage in a life-or-death struggle against the Zangyack. One after the other, strong enemies gather to stand in the Gokaigers' way. Will the space pirates prevail over this brutal empire?
Plot
The Gokaigers charge Dyrandoh, and attempted a Gokai Scramble, but the Imperial Guardsman blocks it, leaving him open for Gai to hit him with a Gokai Shooting Star. They are then blasted back by the Zangyack fleet.
On the Gigant Horse, Ackdos Gill declares that he will wipe out all of humanity along with the Gokaigers One of the Zangyack ships fires on the Gokaigers and forces them to untransform. Marvelous makes sure that the others aren't dead, and Gai says that they can't die since their dreams have to be achieved. Another ship fires, but the blast is deflected by the Free Joker 's shields, the shippiloted by Navi. They wonder where she found the Free Joker, but Navi says she delivers when the Gokaigers are in a pinch. Navi then charges the ship through the Zangyack fleet, giving Marvelous imsperation for a plan: ramming the Gigant Horse with the Free Joker to break through the Zangyack fleet. Joe tells Gai to assist Marvelous when Dyrandoh returns to finish them. Joe tells Gai that backing up Marvelous would acomplish his dream of defeating the Zangyack. The other four Gokaigers stop Dyrandoh from hitting Gai and Marvelous when they board the ship. Marvelous takes the controls and charges the Gigant Horse at full speed. Zangyack ships on all sides fire onto the red ship and eventually break its shields and damaged the craft, but the Free Joker still rams into the Gigant Horse. Marvelous grabbed Navi and tosses her out, telling her to go find safety, then he and Gai hop out transformed and fight off the incoming squads of Gormin and Sugormin soldiers.
The two break into the control room, smashing down the door and the Dogormin behind the door, where they encounter Ackdos Gill. He declares that the room will become their tomb and calmly sits back down, easily fending off Marvelous and Gai's attacks. Gai changes into Gold Mode and gets Ackdos Gill out of the chair. While Gai fights Ackdos, Marvelous takes the controls and has the Gigant Horse fire all of its guns at the Zangyack ships, blasting them out of the sky. On the ground, Dyrandoh is shocked at the loss of their great invasion fleet, and Joe takes the opportunity to change into DekaMaster. Doc, Luka, and Ahim change into Great Sword Man Zubaan, Princess Shinken Red, and MagiMother, respectively. With the Zangyack fleet wiped out, Marvelous assists Gai against Ackdos, who manages to knock them down.
On the ground, Joe and Doc hold Dyrandoh who fires on the girls, but Ahim defends them while Luka fires the Rekka Daizanto in Ozutsu Mode. Doc then transforms into Zubaan's Sacred Sword form (with painful results) upon Joe's request, getting the blue pirate to grab him and strike Dyrandoh with him. They activate the GokaiGalleon Buster with a Blue Charge, but Dyrandoh fires on the Gokaigers, untransforming them. They hold position however, and fired the Rising Strike, finishing off Dyrandoh. Back on the Gigant Horse, Marvelous and Gai continue to struggle against Ackdos, the Emperor string enough to grab the Gokai Supernova and Slash Final Wave and flinged it back to them. Both initiate their gun-based Final Wave, but Ackdos says he'll just redirect the attack. Marvelous tells them they're not aiming at him, and he and Gai then aim for the main controls, critically damaging the ship. Gai and Marvelous knock back Ackdos, and finish him with another Final Wave attack, but the bridge suddenly starts exploding. Outside, the Gigant Horse started exploding, losing altitude fast. The exploding flagship crash into a valley, exploding in a huge fireball. In shock, the Gokaigers think that Marvelous and Gai are dead, but Marvelous and Gai had changed into GoseiRed and Go-On Wings Hybrid and flew out of there.
Doc wonders if Ackdos Gill is dead, with Gai nodding, but Marvelous notices Ackdos landing behind him and Gai, to the shock of the other Gokaigers. He declares that they should accept their destruction by his hand, but Marvelous says he can't beat them. Joe says that the Zangyack were mistaken in invading Earth. The others declare that they had found a power so great that they didn't use it, and that they were fighting alongside with the 34 Super Sentai. Marvelous says that although they're the 35th, they're still pirates and would smash whatever they didn't like. Ackdos Gill fires on them, but Gai defends the Gokaigers by transforming into Gosei Knight. The others charge as AkaRanger (Marvelous), Dia Jack (Joe), Battle Kenya (Doc), VulPanther (Luka), and DenziPink (Ahim). Marvelous and Gai then change into Bouken Red and TenmaRanger while Doc, Luka, and Ahim change into DynaBlack, Yellow Mask, and Ninja White, while Gai changes to Shurikenger. The Gokaigers change into various other counterparts, beating down Ackdos Gill with unrelenting force. The six then changed into Super Rangers, with Marvelous as Hyper Shinken Red, Joe as Super GoseiBlue, Luka as Super GekiYellow, Don as S.W.A.T. Mode DekaGreen, Ahim as Legend Mode MagiPink, and Gai as himself in Gold Mode. The six manage to critically injure Ackdos with the Gokai Shooting Slash, and subsequently fire the GokaiGalleon Buster at point blank, and fires a "Show-Stopping Charge" at Ackdos, who curses the Gokaigers before dying. Realizing that they have defeated the Zangyack, the Gokaigers collapse in elation.
Months later, the Gokaigers reunite at the Snack Safari (renovated into the Snack New Safari) and are informed that the Zangyack is losing influence throughout the universe, thanks to much of their military might being destroyed in the second invasion of Earth and the deaths of the Emperor and son. Joe said that their splintering was inevitable, and Marvelous asks the owner for another bowl of soup (he having finished his fourth bowl). Gai then runs in having said goodbye to his family and friends, and Doc informs the crew that he fixed the Galleon. Luka asks where they're headed next, and Marvelous says they're heading for the next Greatest Treasure in the Universe, which he thinks is on the Zangyack homeworld. When the Gokaigers leave, they are approached by a group of kids and two moms who want their autographs as they saved the world. However, Ahim tells them that they're pirates who were looking for a treasure, and that the Zangyack were only in their way. The Gokaigers leave and the kids thank the Gokaigers and wish them luck on their journey. On board the repaired Galleon, Marvelous opens the Treanger Chest and releases the 192 Ranger Keys back to their original owners, while Marvelous sees AkaRed nodding to him on the tip of the Galleon. On the ground, Shoji and Kazu of Dairanger, Sharma Tribe Knight Goushi of Zyuranger, Shou Tatsumi of GoGoV, Houka Ozu of Magiranger, Miu Sutou of Go-Onger, Doggie Kruger of Dekaranger, and Signalman of Carranger all have their powers returned. On the ground Tsuyoshi Kaijou congratulates the Gokaigers and tells them to seize their dreams for their own sakes before transforming into AkaRanger once more.

- This is the second time the following Gokai Change sets occur:
- The first all-ninja change since The Adventurer Heart. In both cases, Ahim and Gai use the NinjaWhite and Shurikenger Keys respectively and Marvelous is excluded from this group change.
- The first all-dinosaur change since Promise from the Star and the first since The Confused Ninja to use Rangers of the same animal motif. In this case, Pteranodons.
- The first all-extra hero change since The Strongest Fighting Machine. In both cases, the Zubaan Key is used.
- One of the Gokai Change teams consists of characters who were the respective "leaders" of their team in some respect:
- Liveman: Jou Oohara (Yellow Lion) was the most active of the Livemen in trying to save the three traitors, particularly in his activism in helping and ultimately saving his friend Gou Omura.
- Kakuranger: Tsuruhime (NinjaWhite) was the leader of the Kakurangers because of her knowledge of the Youkai and better leadership skills then Sasuke (NinjaRed)
- Ohranger: Although most Reds are leaders, Gorou Hoshino (OhRed) took particular leadership in being the first of U.A.O.H. to take on the Baranoia during their initial invasion of Earth.
- Likewise, Riki (KingRanger) was the leader against the Baranoia invasion during the initial attack 600 million years ago.
- Megaranger: Kouichirou Endou (MegaBlack) was the technical leader of the Megarangers, even further ahead from more dimwitted teammate Kenta Date (MegaRed), who became the Red more due to his video game skills.
- GoGo-V: Nagare Tatsumi (GoBlue) was the tactical leader of GoGo-V, generally both respected and given respect by his older brother Matoi (GoRed).
- Timeranger: Yuuri (TimePink) was the leader of the TPD members who headed to the 21st century to stop the Londerz Family, only initially recruiting Tatsuya Asami (TimeRed) to use the powers in the past and generally outranking him in leadership.
Trivia

- For this episode, the opening narration plays at the beginning of the Gokaigers' battle with Dyrandoh, and the opening theme song is cut and replaced by the titlecard, the opening is only heard at the end.

- This also makes Luka the only Gokaiger who has not used the GokaiGalleon Buster at some point.
- In the scene where the Zangyack fleet bombards the city and Gokaigers, the clips of Gokai Blue, Gokai Silver, Gokai Yellow, & Gokai Pink being blasted into the air by an explosion is stock footage from episode 42, The Strongest Man in the Universe, where they were beaten by Damaras and Basco's ambush. However, new footage is used for both Gokai Red & Gokai Green being blasted this time.
