Plot

[edit]

While running errands for his fellow Goseigers, Alata fights a Gedoushu group led by an Ayakashi called Madokodama, who overwhelm him until Alata receives aid from the Shinkengers' leader Takeru Shiba and Madokodama retreats. Believing his nemesis Doukoku Chimatsuri has returned, Takeru calls for his teammates to return as well and establishes a base at the Amachi Institute against Alata's wishes. After being rejoined by his mentor Hikoma Kusakabe and fellow Shinkenger Ryunosuke Ikenami, Takeru informs the Goseigers of the Gedoushu before helping them fight a returning Madokodama.

Chiaki Tani returns to aid the Shinkengers and Goseigers, but the Gedoushu's new leader and Doukoku's self-proclaimed heir, Buredoran of Chimatsuri, reveals himself and kidnaps Takeru. As Alata attempts to raise Ryunosuke and Chiaki's spirits, his team pick up Mako Shiraishi and Kotoha Hanaori. Due to several misunderstandings however, the Shinkengers are skeptical of the Goseigers. During a later fight with Buredoran's forces, the Sentai teams are shocked to discover Takeru has been brainwashed into serving him. After Alata gets injured taking an attack meant for the Shinkengers, Gosei Knight and Genta Umemori arrive to help them escape. In light of Madokodama's ability to redirect their elemental powers, Gosei Knight suggests the Goseigers should augment their attacks while the Shinkengers agree to help them further.

The next day, the two teams undergo training to combine their powers while Alata recovers and is met by Takeru's foster mother Kaoru Shiba, who provides a means of freeing him. As Buredoran prepares his plot to transfer the Sanzu River's waters to Gosei World, he is confronted by the Goseigers and Shinkengers, who free Takeru from his brainwashing and overpower Madokodama. Meanwhile, a lost DaiGoyou spots Shitari secretly preparing an army of Doukoku loyalists to ambush the Sentai teams and Buredoran before Shitari and his group are killed by the Gokaigers, who ask DaiGoyou not to reveal their presence.

After thwarting his plot, the Goseigers and Shinkengers battle an enlarged Buredoran and Madokodama with their mecha. They kill the latter, but the former overpowers them until the Sentai teams combine their powers to kill him. Following this, the two teams part ways on good terms.[2][3][4]
