To Subarugahama (昴ヶ浜へ, Subarugahama e) is the forty-fourth episode of Ressha Sentai ToQger. This episode marks the debut Hyper ToQ 6gou and ToQ 1gou of Darkness. It is also the first of the four-episode endgame arc.

Synopsis

Miss Gritta helps the ToQgers reach Castle Terminal to save their hometown, but Dark Emperor Zet still stands in their way.

Plot

On the Ressha, Akira is still bothered by the darkness emitted from Right's body when it seemed Hikari and Kagura were killed. But before he can mull on this thought longer, the Conductor announces to the ToQgers that the President has summoned them to the Hyper Ressha Terminal. The President, using a special fan that exposes what he and Akira suspected, confirms that the darkness coming from Right's body is that of Emperor Zet himself. Noting that the youth has no exact memory of the event prior to coming to on Bag Shadow's Cryner rather than on the Ressha like the other ToQgers, the president believes this turn of events may be connected to Right's first meeting with Emperor Zet on the night Subarugahama was consumed in darkness. Soon after, Miss Glitta arrives on General Schwarz's Cryner to help the ToQgers reach Castle Terminal while presenting a plan to save their hometown by taking the fortress back into the dark depths. The ToQgers agree to act out her plan, but Right gets tied up by his friends as they do not want him to accompany him in fear for his well-being should he and Emperor Zet come into contact. Once in the world of darkness, the ToQgers find opposition from the Castle Keeper Pawn. Hyper ToQ 6gou holds Pawn off in BuildDai-Oh while the other trains are derailed by Emperor Zet's power. The ToQgers are forced to fend off the Close as they help give Glitta safe passage to Castle Terminal, but they learn that Right has escaped his bindings and sneaked aboard the Ressha to confront Emperor Zet over their connection. As the ToQgers succeed in their mission, Right finds Emperor Zet and realizes he also has no memory of their first meeting. But as Right's attempt to transform causes the darkness inside him to manifest, Emperor Zet regains enough of his memory to remember that the light he saw in Subarugahama was Right himself and is shocked to find the youth transformed into a dark-version of his ToQ 1gou form
