Synopsis[]
After creating a ninja who easily crushes the Hurricaneger, Frabeejo is shockingly thrown out of the Jakanja, leading to an improbable path of becoming an idol alongside Nanami!
Plot[]
Frabeejo berates her fellow Jakanja on their failures and they ask her what about her. She brings in Frabeejenu, who is just like her. Frabeejenu runs around happily in a warehouse when the Gouraigers attack her. They introduce themselves and challenges them and engages the Gouraigers and is incredibly strong. She pushes a car on them and they crash unto another car. She electrocutes them and they became defenseless.
Oboro and the 3 see this on their monitors. Shurikenger stops her from spearing the 2. She quickly takes Shurikenger down, when the trio come to assist her. Frabeejenu then leaves. The four gather around the wounded brothers. Frabeejo is given royal treatment by the other Jakanja in the Centipede. She acts like a brat. Frabeejenu asks why Frabeejo asked her come back, she says her batteries are low. If she'd run out, she wouldn't have been able to move. She will reach full power in two weeks. Sargain is upset because Frabeejenu is suppose to be his. Wendine, Sargain and the others start liking Frabeejenu more than Frabeejo. They all vote to kick her out. She is stressed and leaves.
Back at the Hayate base, It's been a week since the last Jakanja attack. They're all wondering what Frabeejenu is up to. On the Centipede, Frabeejenu is busy spoiling the others. Sargain is out of his robot and sits in the tiny hot tub she's set up for him, that held in the robot's hands. Wendine has a message and she placates Satarakura's joke. Nanami greets fans in her kimono and out of the sky a pink fireball scares everyone. It lands, revealing Frabeejo. Nanami takes her fighting stance. Frabeejo tells her to wait, takes on Earthly clothes and says she quit the Jakanja. They speak in a quiet area. Frabeejo explains how she'd felt so stupid, after all her work how they'd mocked her. Nanami watches, suspicion in every line of her stance. And now Frabeejo just doesn't know what to do. Nanami's manager comes along and recruits her as an idol. He dreams of a pop idol duo, not paying attention to Nanami's protests. The others freak out at this news. Mugensai climbs on her shoulder and says she should go ahead and do it. She pictures them as a duo. During a recording studio session, Nanami still has doubts, she's beginning to believe it. In the bus, the two are together and she asks her how she joined the Jakanja. She says she dropped out of Space-Ninja School. She failed her test and cried. Tau Zant called her and told her she was good. She suddenly had a reason to live. But now the Jakanja had rejected her, she doesn't know what to do. And Nanami understands how she feels, tells her she would have dropped out, too. But then Frabeejo says anxiously that she has something to ask of Nanami.
Nanami takes her to the base, Frabeejo tells them about the battery charging up Frabeejenu's power, and maybe she can make something to control her. Yosuke and Kota are not so sure. They sing their song as Bijyocco 7. They sleep together in the same bed. Nanami tries to encourage Frabeejo to be excited about the upcoming recital tomorrow. She reassures her about Oboro finishing the remote control. Frabeejo is intending to go alone to stop Frabeejenu, she doesn't want to endanger the others. And Nanami puts a shushing finger on the other girl's lips. "One is not as good as two. And two are not as good as four." Frabeejo leaves with the remote from Oboro's lab. The boys catch sight of this. Nanami wakes to find the other half of the bed empty. She sits up, sure she knows what's happening. Frabeejenu arrives at a sight and meets Frabeejo, they mock each other. The boys watch in their hiding spot. They realize they can trust her. They two face off. Frabeejenu goes down and the boys make their presence known.
Frabeejo has her attack them and they transform. Both Yosuke and Kota scold her for tricking Nanami. Frabeejo says she was stupid and she got them to make the remote. Nanami sees this from the monitor in the base. She takes the band flier and splits it in half. She steps on the halves and laughs. Nanami puts her head down, curls her hand in a fist, looks up and says this is unforgivable. As Frabeejenu are about to finish off both Yosuke and Kota, suddenly the cheery blossoms fall slowly. Nanami comes in her kimono and her umbrella. Frabeejo sends her grunts, as Nanami lets go the umbrella and takes out a knife with the dolphin symbol. She pushes and slashes a grunt and says she believes in people, she believed one person could change. She's finished all the Magerappa, and stares at Frabeejo, who is now nervous. A flurry of cherry blossoms float around her as Nanami transforms. Enraged, Frabeejo asks Frabeejenu to attack as she is sicked on her, which she defeats quickly.
As Frabeejo became coward, she pleads to "Wendy" for help. But Wendine is still not happy from the treatment of two weeks ago. She turns away, pretending like she won't answer. "Please, Lady Wendine?" Frabeejo grovels and Wendine sends Copy Giant down.Frabeejenu is made big and Oboro, who wakes herself up, sends out Senpuujin. She also sends a new Karakuri Ball, a starfish. Nanami recieves it. Senpuujin flies up in the air and attacks the robot with the star on their knee. Frabeejenu then explodes when Senpuujin lands. Tau Zant gives Frabeejo minus 300 points. Frabeejo tells them she has the coordinates to the Hayate base. Wendine gives her the palm pilot but she forgot the numbers and bombs themselves. Her apology echoes through.
The next day, Nanami puts the broken flyer back together. The wind blows it away. A tear runs down her face.
