Lelai continues to attack Takeru as he tells her the whole truth that she has incredible powers and Prince Igum and her group is using her for evil purposes and Lelai was weaken soon after knowing it. Lelai later tells Takeru that she has to go back to the Sea of Tears and revealing that she was a mermaid and Takeru was later attacked by Prince Igum along with Commander Baraba and Oyoboo as she takes her away to continue their evil scheme as they attack Takeru with their powers and he fought off the Ungler soldiers before Kenta and the others aid him to join the fray.

Lelai realizes that Takeru was right after Prince Igum tries to stop her which she manages to dry up the Sea of Tears as she commands her to sing even if she dies as she remembers what Takeru had told her as she desperately sings in a dramatic way as the arrival of Horn Doggler to cause an earthquake. Takeru already hears that her song becomes a sad song. He was later contacted by Commander Sugata and tells them to help Lelai as the four group and Kenta separated to find her only to be watched by Commander Baraba and Oyoboo.

When they manage to get into the tunnel, the group continues to find her as Akira, Haruka and Momoko are attacked from the debris caused by an earthquake.

When Prince Igum attempts to get rid of them, they are distracted by Black Mask while driving the Masky Drill and he tells Takeru to escape and deals with them. Takeru is later seen driving the car to take Lelai in a safety place which he was determined to get her strength back. He was soon attacked by flying planes as he avoids it.

Takeru carries Lelai in a sea cliff as they look at the view and he finally put her in the ocean where he says that it was their sea and it was Lelai's new home. Lelai finally apologizes Takeru for doubting him and Takeru made one last wish that her song is used for the good.

Notes[]

  • This movie must take place after episode 19 due to Earth Curiosities Beast Anagmas becoming the leader of the Earth invasion for Tube, overruling Baraba and Igum. While it can take place any time after that, it easily fits between 19 and episode 20 due to the team not having Galaxy Robo. However, the latest this movie can occur is before episode 27 due to the team still having Shot Bomber as their finisher.
  • This is the first time a Sentai Series' theme isn't used for the movie's opening credits. Instead, "Shot Bomber Zenryoku Shuuchuu" (ショットボンバー全力集中 "Shot Bomber All Concentration Force") is the theme for this film.
  • In the Philippines, this was released as Bioman, Shaider, Maskman: The Movie and was a triple feature along with Chodenshi Bioman: The Movie (dubbed in English) and Uchuu Keiji Shaider: The Movie (dubbed in English). Maskman was dubbed in Tagalog.
  • Due to Choju Sentai Liveman not having its own movie, this is the last Super Sentai movie to have been released in the Showa period.
