Synopsis
After Ninningers are attacked by Mangetsu Kibaoni, Shurikenjin is captured and used, Yakumo makes a plan to get back Lion-Haojo and Shurikenjin by making Tsumuji Igasaki like Yokai Nekomata to re-capture Shurikenjin and Lion-Ha-Ojo.
Plot
After being attacked by Mangetsu Kibaoni, Ninningers assemble to re-capture their mecha. To get them back Yakumo makes a plan by making Tsumuji look like Yokai Nekomata using his magic. After being made like Nekomata Tsumuji goes to the base of the Kibaoni acting as the far cousin of Nekomata. He goes with Yokai Shiten-doji to Shurikenjin whilst Mangetsu attacks the Ninningers repeatedly. On the other hand Yoshitaka sends a look-alike of End Shuriken to help them out. This allows the tired Takaharu to use it to fire a strong move towards Mangetsu. This greatly weakens Mangetsu. This gives hope to Ninningers. After this Ninningers make a ultimate Final Move destroying Mangetsu. Mangetsu becomes a gaint and later is destroyed by Ha-Ojo Gekiatsu Dai-oh and Shurikenjin. In the end Kyuemon reveals to Mangetsu to be the Elder-son of Kibaoni Gengetsu and the elder-brother of Mangetsu.
