No. 18-kai! Life is Short, Fall in Love at Full-Force! (いのち短し、恋せよゼンカイ! Inochi Mijikashi, Koiseyo Zenkai!) is the eighteenth episode of Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger. It features the debut of the Jetman Sentai Gear.
Synopsis[]
As Kaito, Juran, and Vroon were walking through the city, a familiar voice calls out to them from behind. They turn to see Karen Hatsumori, an old classmate of Kaito's. Juran asks Kaito "What happened with you two?", a curious Vroon quizzically questions the statement "What happened?" Love, to him, is another field of unknown study, driving his curiosity at full-force. Almost as if on cue, Love World suddenly appears in the city. The Zenkaigers fight it off alongside Gaon and Magine who join up, but their fight is suddenly dismantled as Kaito's companions start to fall in love with each other. As an intense storm of love whips through this city, will it be possible to escape this hurricane of attraction?
