―Narrator
Dark Shadow's Shizuka of the Wind sneaks into SCRTC to steal a mysterious red jewel, leading to the Gekirangers confronting her. When BoukenBlack, BoukenYellow, and BoukenBlue appear, a battle among the two groups over the jewel occurs at Shizuka attempts to retreat until BoukenSilver retrieves from her. However, Satoru Akashi arrives and takes the jewel to his former teammates' dismay. Soon after, Master Xia Fu reveals that the red jewel in his possession is one of two that belonged to the Cosmic Kenpo Master Pachacamac (宇宙拳法の使い手パチャカマック,Uchū Kenpō no Tsukaite Pachakamakku), who gave them to Bruce E after their lengthy 200 day battle. While this occurred, Sakura goes after the blue jewel in the Rin Jū Hall, and with Satoru, they battle Rio and Mele, who join them soon after to gain the power that the Cosmic Kenpō style offers. The Gekirangers and Boukengers head to South America where they race towards the Darkness Pathway ruins as Bouken Silver, GekiViolet, and GekiChopper battle Baka. But once at the top, after they're too late to stop the villains from getting to the Cosmic Kenpō's secrets, Akashi reveals that Sakura was actually possessed by Pachacamac's descendant, the evil Cosmic Kenpo Master Pachacamac XII (宇宙拳法の使い手パチャカマック12世,Uchū Kenpō no Tsukaite Pachakamakku Jū Ni Sei), who uses his power to turn Rio, Mele, and Bākā into his pawns. The Gekirangers and Boukengers team up to free Rio and Mere before all 13 stop Pachacamac XII in an epic battle on the moon.
Continuity and Placement[]
Boukenger: The positioning of this film is set with some distant time after the Last Task, due to the amount of time that passes from Satoru and Sakura leaving Earth to the possession by Pachacamac XII which forces them to come back to the planet.
Gekiranger: The positioning of this film is difficult due to multiple aspects. The most obvious is the absence of SaiDain, which Ken does not earn until Lesson 34; however this is the culmination of multiple factors that occur starting from Ken's return in Lesson 28 which include the reobtaining of the Virtuous Beast Sword, its abduction by Rio and Mele, the confrontation at Beast Origin Village alongside revelations of Juken's origin and the original Beast War, and the final battle with the Kenma. The positioning after the end of this arc (after Lesson 35) fits many factors, including the attendance of all the Gekiranger as well as the Rinjuken duo with Rio back as the leader. Regarding SaiDaiIn's absence: it is the only fully physical "mecha" of the Gekiranger arsenal, with all others created as qi constructs, thus making it all the more impossible for it to reach the moon and thus discounting why the team could not summon it in the climax.
This is the first team-up to be shot and shown in a 16:9 screen ratio. This is also the last team-up to be a V-Cinema (direct-to-video) until Space Squad: Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger vs. Space Squad starting the marketing formula that would ultimately become V-Cinext the following year. It is also the last VS movie that used CGI for movie poster. Engine Sentai Go-Onger vs. Gekiranger would be theatrically released to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Super SentaiVS. Series, and become the standard release format from then on.
This is the last time the Boukengers appear as a team together:
