No. 16-kai! It's a Magnet at its Limit! (磁石シャクだぜ もう限界！, Jishaku Shakuda ze mō Genkai!) is the sixteenth episode of Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger. This episode marks the debut of Fiveman Sentai Gear.

Synopsis

Juran and Kaito stop by Tar's Kikai Takoyaki restaurant, and over some small talk, the plates from the takoyaki machine suddenly stick to Juran. What is going on this time? The Zenkaigers confront Magnet World, the cause of the chaos, but escapes utilizing some nearby steel frames. When they finally got back to the store after a long day, they were immediately met by Stacy. Why is he here? Reconnaissance? Vacation? Or is he lost? Everyone's confusion doesn't stop, and the increase in magnetic forces don't stop either. At this rate, the store is going to go under. The Zenkaigers make a desperate attempt to run as far away as they can, towards the outskirts of the range where objects can no longer reach them.
