The Christmas Battle (クリスマス大決戦, Kurisumasu Daikessen) is the forty-first episode of Ressha Sentai ToQger. It features the return of Miss Gritta since her death in episode 23 and the final appearances of General Schwarz, Madame Noir and Akira's True form Zaram.

Synopsis

Subarugahama is discovered to be kept under the Castle Terminal, leading the ToQgers to attempt an assault on the castle in order to free their hometown.

Plot

Subarugahama is discovered to be the foundation of Castle Terminal and the ToQgers are saved from the erupting darkness by the Ressha. They form a plan to reach the Shadow Line's terminal in order to free their hometown. However, they are stopped by General Schwarz's Cryner as they emerge to attempt to reason with him and Zaram to stop for Miss Glitta's sake. General Schwarz refuses to listen and a fight ensues with Barone Nero and Marchioness Mork using the opportunity to go after Miss Glitta and extinguish her to restore Castle Terminal and enable Emperor Zet to use his full potential. Unfortunately, Emperor Zet regains control of his body and overpowers his servants before overpowering Zaram as ToQ 6gou and attempts to finishing him off, but was stopped by ToQ 1gou and attacks him. However, he and Hyper ToQ 1gou cancel their transformations with Right taking the AppliChanger back. From there, General Schwarz holds off Emperor Zet long enough for Madame Noir to make her move to free Miss Glitta. Unfortunately, as Miss Glitta feared would happen while watching her mother die by his hand, an enraged Emperor Zet explodes into a vast darkness that consolidates into his true form: Zet-Shin. After General Schwarz sends Miss Glitta away on his Cryner, he is killed by Zet-Shin while proclaiming that he found his light in his final words. After mercilessly attacking Marchioness Mork and Barone Nero, Zet-Shin unleashes another torrent of darkness that drags Castle Terminal back into the Shadow Line while Zaram attempts to stop him. After the ToQgers awake, they find Akira alive but upset that he could not save their town. The ToQgers hug him, surprising him, and tell him how much he means to them. Suddenly, a fleet of Cryners appear and attack, and Akira agrees to remain with the ToQgers to help them get their town back, as they use the various Ressha combinations to destroy the enemy Cryners. Later, as the ToQgers welcome Akira into their Christmas party, Miss Glitta visits General Schwarz's grave-site, built by Akira, and Emperor Zet notes how Castle Terminal has gotten darker.
