Plot[]
The film begins with the Shinkengers defeating the Ayakashi Demebakuto. As he assumes his second life, he captures the Shinkengers in mirrors as he sends them into a series of different dimensions (all different film genres) in order to make them suffer for his amusement before actually killing them. First, the Shinkengers appear in the jidaigeki Lord's log of Notable Events, fighting a group of samurai, shortly followed by a Western showdown between Genta and Ginshirō (銀志郎), the owner of the rival sushi stand Silver Zushi, over whose food is better in Wild Grip. Then the scene changes again to the cop drama Passionate Version with the vassals as cops while Takeru is being held hostage as the Shinkengers starts to realize that something is wrong.
Before they fully remember as Jii's voice echoes, the scene changes to the high school romantic comedy where Kotoha poses as a boy to be with a male Mako only to have trouble with the male Shinkengers who are also girls posing as boys. When they start to remember again, the scene changes once more to a Jungle film with the animal-themed "Forest Animal Sentai Shinkenger" fighting several Nanashi Company members to protect the forest creatures. Shinken Blue is leading the group as Super Shinken Blue until Ryunosuke remembers that he is not the leader of the Shinkengers.
The Shinkengers managed to remember their fight with Demebakuto and realize where they are as he sends them into song where Mako is an idol with the other Shinkengers as her back up dancers before being attacked by a Nanashi upon remembering again as they end up in sci-fi film Disappear in Space where they battle alien versions of the Nanashi in a space battleship. As each member stays behind to hold off the Nanashi, Takeru realizes a spin-related link across the movie worlds as he has everyone destroy a spinning light.
Coming to, the Shinkengers find Demebakuto once more and defeat him again. However, when he grows into a giant again, he is much larger than even Ika ShinkenOh (making forming Samurai HaOh pointless) as he toys with them. They are unable to defeat Demebakuto until the Shinkengers realize that they have not yet escaped the dream as they manage to destroy a nearby wind turbine.
Finally coming to, Jii tells them how the actual fight went prior to being taken in by Demebakuto's Enveloping Hands. With Super Shinken Red leading the attack, the Shinkengers form Daikai-ShinkenOh to finally defeat Demebakuto for good after trapping him in his own illusion. After the battle, the samurai thank Jii for saving them as they tell him of their experiences in the movie dimensions.
Chiaki expresses enjoyment over being a cop while Kotoha talks about Mako being a idol much to her embarrassment as she never considers doing such a thing while Genta talk about his sushi showdown before start talking Ryunosuke's illusion where he was the Lord instead of Takeru, as Ryunosuke insists that he would normally never thought such a thing and Genta jokingly accuses Ryunosuke planning to overthrow Takeru. Ryunosuke defends himself reminding everyone how he risked his life to protect Takeru which they respond with a laugh. Ryunosuke then asked Takeru to believe to him that never he thought of such a thing but Takeru responds that he doesn't care about that and questioned everyone if that their image of him. Everyone went into deep thought and realize how most of Takeru's roles were the same as he was as a lord except for Ryunosuke's. When Jii questioned what was Takeru like in the illusions, Mako responds that he is just the same as before much to Takeru's annoyance as they return to the mansion.
Continuity and Placement[]
- The story can take place anytime after Act 35 due to a reference to Samurai HaOh; however it has to take place prior to Act 44 due to major story shifts that ultimately lead to the endgame of the story, which culminates with the sealing of the Sanzu River and the parting of the Shinkengers.
