Plot[]
The Ohranger continue to fight the Baranoia forces on the beach; while at the Baranoia palace, Dowager Empress Hysteria cares for their child, telling Kaiser Buldont and Multiwa to stop what they're doing, worries that if the emperor and empress dies, the child will not have them. As the Ohranger push the duo back, they notice a baby among their latest hostages; they charge towards its mother and abduct it, forcing the Ohranger to fight off the Barlo while promising its mother that they will save it. The team chase Buldont and Multiwa to a pipe site, where they hold the baby hostage telling the team to untransform for the sake of this child's life. Buldont mocks them stating their mission is about protecting life on Earth, which Goro confirms accordingly. Elsewhere, Hysteria continues to worry stating that the life of that baby and their baby are the same.
Buldont continues to mock them to remove their suits, forcing the Rangers to power down in order to save the hostage. However, the emperor soon attacks them, fighting the untransformed Ohranger and kicking them around while the mother worries for her son Naoya nearby. Juri yells they protect people's lives to the end as she's tossed around and Momo states that the mission as the Ohranger. Yuji states they protect the lives of everyone and everything on this planet, which Buldont continues to mock stating this is why humanity is stupid and asks what they think of their own lives as he attacks him. Goro and Yuji fight Buldont off but are knocked down while Goro continues to tell him to return the baby while he uses a whirlwind against them and Multiwa continues to threaten baby Naoya. Goro soon takes Buldont's sword and throws it at Multiwa, knocking her sword away from the baby while leaping to take it away! The emperor curses them as the empress runs towards her husband, Goro stating this is what it is to be human; this is true human courage. The mother has Naoya returned to her as she runs to safety as the Ohranger transform once again to face the Baranoia leaders in a final showdown. Using the Choriki Dynamite Attack, the team hit the duo knocking them back.
Forced into their last resort, Buldont and Multiwa grow together without need for Acha and Kocha, shocking the duo as the Ohranger summon Ohranger Robo, reactivated by the Tetrahedron Choriki Amplifier as it flies towards the final battle with the emperor and empress as Buldont states he will show his true power, which the team accepts. The emperor and empress attack together overwhelming the mecha; Miura states that they can only win this with OhBlocker, but Riki notes that OhBlocker and Red Puncher were taken away by Baranoia, forcing the leader to and rescue them.
Rushing into the Baranoia palace, Miura and Riki run deep within the underground searching for the missing mecha. As Barlo Soldiers overwhelm them, the duo fight them off as they rush through until they discover a wall made of a special alloy that Choriki can't penetrate. Asking if KingRanger can break through it, Riki states he'll try; but is shocked out of nowhere as Acha and Kocha appear stating it won't be so easy. Miura kicks away the Barlo as Acha tells them to suffer and attacks KingRanger further. Without warning, Gunmazin and its key appear before Miura; Acha tells the Barlo to prevent him from reaching the key, with the machine soldiers pushing him around and fighting him until he gets it and activates Gunmazin with ease. Asking Miura his wish, he orders the warrior Majin to knock the wall down; he picks up KingRanger and throws Acha to be hit by Riki while using his "Majin Single-Sword Seventh Strike", which breaks the crevice of the anti-Choriki wall breaking it down revealing the two missing mecha. With the power of the Choriki Amplifier, the Choriki is restored to OhBlocker and Red Puncher as Miura orders KingRanger to take them to the team.
Flying in OhBlocker, KingRanger tells OhRed to enter Red Puncher, heading inside as the three mecha prepare for the final battle, Buldont wondering if the team can defeat them. OhBlocker and Red Puncher knock the duo away as they use their Love-Love Pair Attack, attacking all the mecha and making Red Puncher fall, making Goro state he won't fall and they must save all nature on Earth; and they also have the love of humans which is something they must protect. Buldont mocks them stating that love is what makes humans so weak as he curses them and knocks away all the mecha. However without warning, Tackle Boy joins them, making them withstand the attacks; Multiwa tries to use her Multi Arrow to attack but OhBlocker throws a Twin Blocken Sword to knock it away. Buldont and Multiwa attempt another Love-Love Pair Attack which Ohranger Robo deflects with Super Crown Sword. Stating they have to end this, KingRanger calls in King Pyramider and the Ohranger form King Pyramider Battle Formation with Ohranger Robo and Red Puncher, overwhelming the emperor and empress with the Super Legend Beam. As they die, Buldont curses the Ohranger stating even if they lose, machines will never be destroyed, the duo falling together.
At the palace, Dowager Empress Hysteria cries over the death of the Emperor and Empress of Baranoia as the Ohranger storm the palace; the former empress asks what they intend to do, but OhRed states as long as she lives, the Earth will be put in danger again. The team pulls out their blasters; but the dowager empress states "do what you want with me, but spare the child's life". Goro realizes this is the child of Kaiser Buldont and Multiwa as Hysteria states the child has committed no crime and that it deserves to live. Shouhei states they shouldn't fall for this as Yuji states if they let one Machine Beast go, they'll eventually come back to Earth. Hysteria begs stating she will pay for her crimes as long as they spare the child as she returns it to its crib. As the team continues to hold out their blasters, they show doubt as Momo states she can't do it. Without warning, Hysteria states she leaves the child to the Ohranger as she sets off a time bomb and sneaks away before stating her farewells, exploding in the process. Momo calls out to Hysteria as Goro states that Kaiser Buldont claimed that machines were heartless, but this proved them wrong as Hysteria could feel love for a child; thus, machines can feel love as Gunmazin joins them.
Later on a beach, the Ohranger join back with Commander Miura, who states peace has finally returned to Earth and starting now, Ohranger's next duty will be to restore the nature of Earth as well as its love. He tells them to do their best as they take his order accordingly. Gunmazin and Riki soon join them as Gunmazin states he will take Buldont and Multiwa's child and raise him to be a fine man stating to not worry about it as he gets the approval of the team. Gunmazin also states he's going to take Acha and Kocha to reform them, the duo hiding until called as the Majin states his farewell, flying off as Acha and Kocha join with him. Gunmazin states he is the "Granter of wishes and dreams"; and if they have any more, be certain to call for him and those who are truly in trouble will use his key as it flies away into the sky and the Majin departs.
As quickly as Gunmazin leaves, Dorin returns to Earth, the being acknowledging her return as she and Riki run off together. Miura states that Choriki perhaps made Dorin return to health as well as the duo run away from them and the Ohranger watch on happy for the good fortune.
As the Ohranger reflect on the battles that concluded, the Gunmazin key sits in the sand, waiting for its next owner.
