Synopsis

Fleeing from the invasion of her homeworld, Princess Mabushina recruits four warriors to become the Mashin Sentai Kiramager.

Plot

The Crystalia Kingdom is a land of beautiful jewels ruled by King Oradin. However, with the guidance of Oradin's younger brother, the Demonic General of Betrayal Galza, the Dark Corps Yodon, led by the Mask of Darkness Carantula, invades the country, crushing the king and destroying the country. The surviving Princess Mabushina of Crystalia, along with Crystalia's secret treasures, the Kiramai Stones, travels to Earth, the next target of the Yodon Army, to meet Muryou Hakataminami. Hakataminami, a supervisor of CARAT, has developed the Kiramai Changers, in preparation for Yodon's invasion of the Earth. Mabushina decides to use the Kiramai Stones to search for warriors who have strong Kiramental.

With the help of the Kiramai Stones, Mabushina scouts the Esports star Tametomo Imizu, who is the number 1 player in the shooting games section, the athlete Sena Hayami, who holds Japanese records that have made her a name in national athletics competitions, the popular action star Shiguru Oshikiri, who is 5th dan in kendo, and Sayo Oharu, the genius surgeon who is a master of Aikido.

After the team has assembled in their new headquarters, they are informed that the Yodon Army is attacking. Heading downstairs to the car park, the four of them transform into the Kiramagers for the first time, and defeat the attackers. However, it is revealed that this was all a hologram set up by Hakataminami, in order to allow them to train with their new powers.

While this is going on, Mashin Fire has been continuing his search for a potential Kiramai Red. This search leads him to Hikarigamine High School, where an enthusiastic young man called Juru Atsuta has been sketching a portrait of his classmate.
