He simply quotes what Masaki said as he exits. Everyone is shocked when Sakura tells them that Voice asked Akashi to retire. Akashi returns to the warehouse calling Masaki out. Masaki points the bow at him.He tells him he quit Boukenger because he told him so and he won't fight him. Eiji listens in.Akashi tells Masaki he didn't want their lives to be in vain, so he made it is his mission to collect Precious for them. Akashi tells him to hand over the Precious. He laughs at him and mocks him. He shoots the arrow again and Eiji comes in and bats the fire away toward Masaki. Eiji grabs Akashi and run away.

Sakura looks at Akashi's Acellular and looks up at them. She says 'Boukengers move out,' then Akashi's catchphrase 'Attack!' In another part of the warehouse, Eiji and Akashi recoup. Akashi asks Eiji what he would do. Eiji tells him what Akashi talks about what is 'right' is nothing but an excuse that weak people use. Eiji notices this embarrasses Akashi. He explains that in his Takaoka family their mission to destroy the Ashu have been passed down from generation to generation. His father could never get Gai. Eiji tells him he has no room for friends. Akashi tells him he thinks his mission is important. Eiji grabs him by the collar and tells him not to compare them to eahc other. He bashes him to the wall. Eiji tells him what they do is nothing more than a game. He tells him he can't escape his fate and he is just doing what he is doing because he likes it. He tells him if he doesn't like it, then why not quit? "Doing it... cause I like it," Akahsi says as he makes a fist. Akashi gets up and says he finally understands. Rei makes the mist again. Akashi walks out and Eiji walks from he sidelines. Masaki asks him if he is prepared to die. Akashi tells him he realized he likes adventures for the safety of the world. He says he and Kyouko liked adventures as well. Because it is not a mission he was given and because he likes it, he can't just tun away. Eiji repeats this. Masaki becomes his true form... Gai. He is shocked he can see him Rei comes down and says he beat the illusion with his own heart. Eiji come sout fo the building and Akashi asks what is going on. Eiji explains that it was an illusion created by the doubt in his heart. Akashi tells him it wasn't an illusion. The others arrive and shoot the Ashu. Eiji tells them that the Ashu seem to be targeting them so he used them as bait this time. Masumi goes up to Eiji but Akashi clarifies he lets himself be bait. Sakura gives Akashi his Acellular back, returning command. Everyone nods. Akashi grabs it and they all transform and present themselves. Rei fights them first. Rei is about to shoot them with the Precious until Eiji stops them. He tells him he is his opponent, they fight. Rei lays waste of the Boukenger. They stagger to get up. Rei doesn't understand why they continue. Red tells him the power of human's adventure. Red calls Acelltector and the Dual Crasher. They cement Rei but he busts out of it with fire. He sends a devastating attack towards the Boukenger. Eiji backs off his fight from Gai and leaps toward the Boukengers and hands Red the Precious. They do a double attack toward the two Ashu. There are like lightning poles punched into them. Gai and Rei explode in front of Eiji and the Boukenger. They rise from it, discard their bodies and become huge. The Boukenger form Ultimate DaiBouken and fight. Rei engulfs them with a fire and they boost up into the air and drop him down. They avoid Rei's cannon blasts and they finish them off. Again purple smoke rises. Eiji conducts the Ashu Soul Destruction quickly and Ultimate DaiBouken lands among the golden dust. Afterwards, Akashi picks up the Precious box. The others throw an unwilling Sakura towards him. She eventually asks if he isn't quitting. He taps her on the shoulder tells her he is BoukenRed. They all smile and gather. Eiji scoffs at them. He utters, "Because you like it, huh?" He leaves. Meanwhile elsewhere, Gaja chants and the Ashu soul dust gathers. The Ashu's body are gathered but are still intangiable. Gaja is surprised that they had survived for so long. Gaja puts his Gordom Engines inside them, reviving them.

Eiji tells him what Satoru talks about what is 'right' is nothing but an excuse that weak people use. Eiji notices this embarrasses Satoru. He explains that in his Takaoka family their mission to destroy the Ashu have been passed down from generation to generation. His father could never get Gai. Eiji tells him he has no room for friends. Satoru tells him he thinks his mission is important. Eiji grabs him by the collar and tells him not to compare them to each other.

Satoru walks out and Eiji walks from he sidelines. Shirou asks him if he is prepared to die. Satoru tells him he realized he likes adventures for the safety of the world. He says he and Kyouko liked adventures as well. Because it is not a mission he was given and because he likes it, he can't just tun away. Eiji repeats this. Shirou becomes his true form... Gai. He is shocked he can see him Rei comes down and says he beat the illusion with his own heart. Eiji comes out of the building and Satoru asks what is going on. Eiji explains that it was an illusion created by the doubt in his heart. Satoru tells him it wasn't an illusion. The others arrive and shoot the Ashu. Eiji tells them that the Ashu seem to be targeting them so he used them as bait this time. Masumi goes up to Eiji but Satoru clarifies he lets himself be bait. Sakura gives Satoru his Acellular back, returning command. Everyone nods. Satoru grabs it and they all transform and present themselves. Rei fights them first. Rei is about to shoot them with the Precious until Eiji stops them. He tells him he is his opponent, they fight. Rei lays waste of the Boukenger. They stagger to get up. Rei doesn't understand why they continue. Red tells him the power of human's adventure. Red calls Acelltector and the Dual Crasher. They cement Rei but he busts out of it with fire. He sends a devastating attack towards the Boukenger. Eiji backs off his fight from Gai and leaps toward the Boukengers and hands Red the Precious. They do a double attack toward the two Ashu. There are like lightning poles punched into them. Gai and Rei explode in front of Eiji and the Boukenger. They rise from it, discard their bodies and become huge. The Boukenger form Ultimate DaiBouken and fight. Rei engulfs them with a fire and they boost up into the air and drop him down. They avoid Rei's cannon blasts and they finish them off. Again purple smoke rises. Eiji conducts the Ashu Soul Destruction quickly and Ultimate DaiBouken lands among the golden dust. Afterwards, Satoru picks up the Precious box. The others throw an unwilling Sakura towards him. She eventually asks if he isn't quitting. He taps her on the shoulder tells her he is BoukenRed. They all smile and gather. Eiji scoffs at them. He utters, "Because you like it, huh?" He leaves. Meanwhile elsewhere, Gaja chants and the Ashu soul dust gathers. The Ashu's body are gathered but are still intangible.

    • This is Sakura's third time starting a segment.
    • Song: "Choujin Sentai Jetman" (鳥人戦隊ジェットマン Chōjin Sentai Jettoman) performed by Hironobu Kageyama
    • The "flight patterns" of Masumi and Souta reflect both the birds and the Jetman team members they represent. Souta's rapid flight is similar to that of a swallow, as well as the hyperactive nature of Ako Hayasaka (Blue Swallow). However, Masumi's slow pattern both reflects the flight of a condor and the more easygoing, suave pace of Gai Yuki (Black Condor).
