Plot[]
After arguing about whose fashion sense is better, Takaharu and Kinji go outside with their costumes to be judged by the public. Unexpectedly, they are laughed at due to their outrageous costumes. They then notice a dark aura surrounding several stones, which Kinji depicts as Hyakki Yakou, an event in summer where a hundred Youkai would revive and destroy the town at night.
However, due to Kibaoni's seal being removed, Hyakki Yakou occurs immediately, bringing back Kamiatachi, Kappa, Tsuchigumo and a horde of Jukkarage plus Kakuranger's Dorodoros and Hurricaneger's Magerappas. In a competition to see who can defeat the most opponents, Takaharu and Kinji transform and quickly curb-stomp the revived enemies, only to result in a tie.
As they argue about whose performance was better, a Gashadokuro appears. StarNinger proposes they summon their OtomoNin, but AkaNinger activates a special clothes change Nin Shuriken that strengthens them, allowing both to destroy the Giant Youkai.
The two once again debate their performance as they return to the dojo, where, to their surprise, they find Fuka trying on a costume.
Continuity and Placement[]
As Jukkarage first appeared in episode 9 and Kinji began targeting the other Ninningers after receiving this task in episode 10, this special takes place at least after said episode.

Notes[]
- Fuka does not transform into ShiroNinger in this special, while Yakumo, Nagi, and Kasumi are completely absent.
- During the scene where Kinji walks on the stage in traditional Japanese attire, there is a background song from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, specifically the sound from when the Shinkengers would walk up before transforming.
- Kinji's description of the Hyakki Yakou phenomenon to Takaharu evokes the Announcer from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, who would describe the individual Youkai in each episode of the first half of that series, complete with an old-fashioned depiction of the youkai.
- One of the Yokai in the painting during Kinji's narration was a Dorodoros, the foot soldiers of the Youkai Army Corps and the enemies of the Kakurangers.
- When the Yokai first appear, they dance. One of the movements they do during the dance is the "claw" hand movements from Micheal Jackson's Thriller.
