| On a lunar eclipse that occurs every 500 years, the Fist Demons Bracelet must be sealed at area surrounding the Beast Fist Life Tree. But, Fierce Beast Leopard-Fist user Miki Misaki encounters a wild child named Jan Kandou before she is attacked by a group of Akugata martial artists led by Confrontation Beast Mantis-Fist user Makirika, who steals the Bracelet. Then, the leader of Confrontation Beast Hall, Rio, obeying the souls of the long dead founders of the Confrontation Beast-Fist style, starts their plans to conquer the world by first amassing Confrontation Ki energy from the terror inflicted on humans. However, the Grand Master of the Fierce Beast-Fist style, Fist Sage Sha-Fu, along with Miki have been prepared for this coming battle and were training two young fighters: Fierce Beast Cheetah-Fist practitioner Ran Uzaki and Fierce Beast Jaguar-Fist user Retsu Fukami. Jan joins the other two warriors in forming the Gekiranger team. However, they face Makirika, now a Beast-Man after absorbing enough Confrontation Ki. Though Jan manages to defeat Makirika with Fierce Beast Tiger-Fist, the Beast-Man soon grows into a giant.[1] | |||||

| Sha-Fu uses the Gekiwaza Double-Double Clone Fist to create a giant version of himself that blew Giant Makirika away. Having seen this, Ran and Retsu ask Sha-Fu to teach them the Gekiwaza technique. Sha-Fu responds saying that the way to obtain it is to first teach Jan the Beast Arts. The two reluctantly start the training, but Jan, bored with basic training, ran off with the GekiNunchaku as Makirika makes his move by flooding the city with Confrontation Beast Chameleon-Fist Mistress Mele to overview his progress. However, the three managed to master the Double-Double Clone Fist by joining their unique attributes to create the GekiBeasts and formed GekiTohja, who defeated Makirika with Mele and her captive, Fierce Beast Fly-Fist user Bae, as witnesses (Bae commentates on the fight). With that settled, Jan decides to stay with SCRTC until his birth parents are found.[2] | |||||

| Jan, unbearably happy from the Fierce Beast-Fist training, receives a special "training exercise" from Sha-Fu that would let him fully master his Gekiwaza: Cleaning. Meanwhile, Confrontation Beast Buffalo-Fist user Gyuuya, has just passed the challenges within the Chamber of Trials and begins his assault on the city once he perfected himself. Though Gyuuya had the upper hand in their first encounter, Jan defeated him with "Cleaning Power" he obtained from his training.

| Jan and company are brought to a skating rink where they must acquire a difficult lesson, meeting professional skater Junko Yaginuma to master the Kaleido Spiral Jump. However, the Five Venom Fists begin their fight against the Gekirangers, overpowering them until Sha-Fu saved them. However, it was a ploy set up by Rio to deal with Sha-Fu himself with his Confrontation Beast Lion-Fist style, revealing the link between them as not only master and apprentice but rivals based on his dream visions. However, Rio soon learns that his destined rival is not Sha-Fu, but Jan. To confirm this, he had Jan poisoned, forcing him and the others to fight all Five Venom Fist members at once in GekiTohja for the antidote. But the Gekirangers managed to master the Kaleido Spiral Jump in time to get the cure, with Rio calling off the attack for now.[4] | |||||

However, Confrontation Beast Centipede-Fist user Kademu of the Five Venom Fists begins to attack people with his high-speed fists and poisoned Retsu. With Jan forced to watch, Ran challenges Kademu in a duel of high-speed martial arts, the Thousand-Fists Many Strikes competition. Though he won, postponing his fight with Ran on account of wind, Ran was the true winner as she was more accurate than Kademu. Enraged, Kademu fights the Gekirangers in full fury and was destroyed by GekiTohja. Even more, with Kademu dead, the remaining four are suspected of possessing the Ringi Rio needs to hear the Fist Demons once more.[5] | |||||

| A strange picture dealer named Pierre Fujishiro comes to SCRTC to obtain a painting from Retsu, which is still incomplete. As Retsu's past is unveiled, Confrontation Beast Gecko-Fist user Moriya of the Five Venom Fists arrives to cause havoc. The Gekirangers intervene, but are overwhelmed by Moriya's unpredictable tactics and fighting style, forcing them to retreat. During another training session involving window-washing, Ran reveals to Jan that just fighting to win is not always Retsu's goal; to him, true victory is obtained when he beats his opponent at their own game. In their second encounter, Retsu manages to knock Moriya off his wall with artistic feeling at his side, forcing a fight between him and GekiTohja. Moriya reveals his Secret Ringi, Rapid-Growth Arm, much to the chagrin of Mele, as she assumed that Moriya was the True Poison user. Regardless, he is destroyed much to Mele's dismay, with only three left to spy on. Retsu soon completed his painting afterward with Pierre asking to have it.[6] | |||||
[edit] Shuba-Shuba Dancing! |
|||||
| 7 | "Lesson 7: Shuba-Shuba Dancing!" | 修行その７ シュバシュバ踊ろう！ | "Shugyō Sono Nana: Shuba-Shuba Odorō!" | April 1, 2007 | |
| Miki's daughter Natsume visits the SCRTC offices before her dance lessons, saying she has quit the team. At the same time, Confrontation Beast Scorpion-Fist user Sorisa of the Five Venom Fists wreaks havoc on the city, using her troop of dancing Rinshīs to incite fear among the humans. The Gekirangers attempt to fight Sorisa with little luck before Confrontation Beast Toad-Fist user Maga (who has feelings for Sorisa) intervened because he thought Retsu and Sorisa were making out. Though GekiTohja was unable to kill him, Maga retreated upon learning Sorisa walked off in a huff during the fight, with Mele deciding to help him. To oppose the dance-styles of Sorisa, the Gekirangers must learn some dancing moves themselves from Natsume's teacher. Once the Gekirangers get the hang of dancing with Jan's Shuba-Shuba style, they take a rest and watch Natsume's class practice. They all notice that Natsume is not dancing like the others, and Jan realizes that it is because she does not have "Shuba-Shuba" or feeling in her dancing. Natsume storms out and Miki tries to reassure her, until they are attacked by Sorisa and her Rinshīs. Miki holds them off until the Gekirangers arrive and counter with their dancing. At first, the Gekirangers were able to counter Sorisa, but when Maga arrives with love-confidence from Mele, he and Sorisa quickly gain the upper hand by bringing his defense and her offense together into a devastating tag-team.[7] | |||||
[edit] Koto-Koto… Intently Koto-Koto |
|||||
| 8 | "Lesson 8: Koto-Koto… Intently Koto-Koto" | 修行その８ コトコト・・・ひたすらコトコト | "Shugyō Sono Hachi: Koto-Koto… Hitasura Koto-Koto" | April 8, 2007 | |
| With the combined defense of Maga and offense of Sorisa, the Gekirangers were overwhelmed. To counter the powerful tag-team, the GekiBazooka needs to be used despite still being incomplete. However, to perform the Gekiwaza Fierce-Fierce Cannon, it must be charged within two minutes, leaving the Gekirangers open to attack. Thus Jan must train so he can hold off both two Venom Fists at once while Ran and Retsu charge the weapon up with their Fierce Ki. But Jan's need not to be "Boko-Boko" (beaten up) resulted with the first try a bust. But as Sha-Fu endures the pain of training Ran and Retsu himself, he has Natsume train Jan in the wait department. When the Gekiranger encountered Maga and Sorisa once again, Jan was able to hold them off long enough for the GekiBazooka to fully charge up. The Gekirangers used the new weapon to destroy Maga and later fought and destroyed the irate Sorisa with GekiTohja's Great Spin-Spin Leg. Now only Confrontation Beast Snake-Fist user Braco of the Five Venom Fists remains, and Rio's dreams are getting stronger by the minute to the snake's advantage.[8] | |||||

|||||
| 9 | "Lesson 9: The Kena-Kena Woman" | 修行その９ ケナケナの女 | "Shugyō Sono Kyū: Kena-Kena no Onna" | April 15, 2007 | |
| After remembering her first meeting with Rio, Mele is encountered by Braco, who reveals his plans to assassinate Rio and offers her to join him. Mele refuses and angrily kills Braco, only to learn that he is the True Poison user when he used his power to revive himself after receiving the deathblow. After revealing that the True Poison can resurrect the dead, Braco easily defeats Mele while gloating that he will kill Rio during his most vulnerable state, while he is in deep meditation, with aid from the newly resurrected Moriya and Kademu. Mele, having survived the attack, purposely attacks the Gekirangers while they were training in order to goad them into using the GekiBazooka on her to perfect herself for Rio's sake. Once she managed to learn how to deflect their attack, Jan realizes that she is "Kena-Kena" (ambiguous in terms of affiliation). Meanwhile, Mele hurries to Rio's aid and holds herself until Rio awakens and effortlessly destroys Kademu. While Mele goes after Braco, a fearful Moriya flees to attempt to gather Confrontation Ki until the Gekirangers found him and defeated him for good. As for Mele, she managed to defeat Braco with her training until he explained why Rio wants the True Poison and how only three remain. Though swayed by the notion of being truly alive, Mele snaps Braco's fingers off and kills him on the spot while telling him she gets that feeling of "true life" by staying at Rio's side. Now with the three True Poison fangs, Rio is a step closer to his goal: To revive the Fist Demons and become stronger.[9] | |||||

| We open to the three Gekirangers walking through the forest to deliver a package to an old friend of Sha-Fu's. Prior to it, the Gekirangers were fighting Confrontation Beast Pangolin-Fist user Muzankose who defeated GekiTohja before resuming his task of causing an earthquake. To stop Muzankose, Sha-Fu sends them on an errand to a hut somewhere on Shibe Mountain, said to be haunted. But on their way, they encounter the Mononoke, who tied them up and took the package. Now mad, the Gekirangers change and pursue the Mononoke, forced to fight him to regain the package. But the mononoke's playful (and perverted) moves overwhelmed the Gekirangers. But despite losing to him, the three refused to give up and managed to turn the tables and regained the package. They soon learn the Mononoke is actually the Fist Sage known as Master Elehung Gambou, a grand master of the Fierce Beast Elephant-Fist. Elehung also revealed the item they had delivered to him was the GekiHammer which Ran is to master to fight Muzankose. During all of this, Rio begins to travel to the an ominous mountain where one of the Three Fist Demons rests while Mele has Muzankose to start the earthquake that would destroy the city.[10] | |||||

| Ran begins to master the Elephant-Fist and the GekiHammer under Master Elehung. However, Elehung's ideals and training methods differ from Sha-Fu's own, thus confusing Ran while Jan and Retsu attempt to fight Muzankose without her. But the antics of Elehung managed to make Ran laugh while she was fly fishing, a part of her training, finally making a hit. Learning that happiness is a needed element in any situation, a "different" Ran uses the GekiHammer to help her friends and defeat Muzankose in time. When Muzankose grew, Elehung tells the Gekirangers to use Ran's training to summon the legendary GekiBeast GekiElephant, which combines with GekiTohja, forming GekiElephanTohja and defeating Muzankose. However, as Sha-Fu sensed, Rio managed to destroy the barrier that kept him from reviving the Sky Fist Demon: Confrontation Beast Hawk-Fist grand master Kata.[11] | |||||

| While wandering through the city, Jan finds Natsume at a bathhouse looking at the carp windsocks. When the bathhouse's owner Gen-san confronts Jan when he is trying to take down one of the windsocks, Natsume is accidentally sent flying towards the street as a result of Confrontation Beast Eel-Fist user Nagiu's Ringi. The Gekirangers try to fight, but he is too slippery to be hit by their attacks. Sha-Fu sends the trio to train at the bathhouse, where they re-encounter Elehung and Gen-san who is revealed to be a master of "towel-style." Jan learns how to use the "towel-style" and in the next fight with Nagiu, Jan uses one of the carp windsocks to dry the Beast-Man of the slippery mucus, followed by the GekiBazooka. Nagiu soon grows to his giant size, and the Gekirangers fight first as GekiTohja and then GekiElephanTohja. Nagiu is ultimately defeated by the Great Firm-Firm Ball of GekiElephanTohja.
Elsewhere, Rio was trying to learn how to attain ultimate power from Kata in a battle to the death, and in the process is blasted by the Hawk-Fist master's Darkness Cannon and is placed within the event of his past that started his path in becoming a Confrontation Beast-Fist user. Rio was able to absorb his own despair and overpowered Kata, sparing Kata for enabling him to become stronger. By being beaten, Kata accepted Rio as a pupil to learn the full power of Confrontation Beast-Fist Akugata.[12] |

| 13 | "Lesson 13: Shin-Shin! The Spirit's Dance" | 修行その13 シンシン！精霊の舞い | "Shugyō Sono Jū San: Shin-Shin! Seirei no Mai" | May 13, 2007 | |
| To obtain the despair he needs to teach Rio to channel his hatred as power, Kata sends up his two bodyguards, the two Flying Fists, to be his eyes while providing him more Confrontation Ki. Meanwhile, Sha-Fu takes the Gekirangers to the ballet much the dismay of Jan (who falls asleep in boredom) and Ran and the delight Retsu. In the middle of the performance, Jan woke up and sensed the Flying Fists attacking people, turning their fear into lightning for their plan to destroy the city and get more Confrontation Ki from it. The Flying Fists, Confrontation Beast Crane-Fist user Rūtsu and Confrontation Beast Crow-Fist user Rasuka, defeat the Gekirangers as well as overpowering GekiElephanTohja. When the team asks Sha-Fu on a technique to fly to counter the two flying martial artists, he sends them to a mysterious appreciation festival where they meet Fist Sage Bat Li, a grand master of the Fierce Beast Bat-Fist style. Though he refused at first, Bat Li changes his mind when Retsu shows him his abilities. While Jan and Ran attempt to stop the Flying Fists, Retsu begins learning Fierce Beast Bat-Fist and the art of the war fan from Bat Li, whose lesson is simple: "Abandon all techniques to master this fighting style."[13] | |||||

| Ran and Jan arrive to fight the Flying Fists, who overpower them until Rasuka is offended by them and has Rūtsu fly off while he beats the two Gekirangers by himself, wounding Ran's leg. While Ran is being tended to, Miki brings out the new weapon for Retsu and tells Jan and Ran to give it to him once he has completed his training. This training, in his eyes, is attempting to dance just like Bat Li. He initially has trouble, but he eventually realizes that Bat Li's dancing has no technique. Once Jan and Ran find Retsu and Bat Li, Retsu has mastered the Bat-Fist style while in a trance, and he is given the GekiFan. With the GekiFan, GekiBlue defeats the Flying Fists singlehandedly. The Flying Fists enlarge themselves and are able to unleash their attack, but on Bat Li's words, the Gekirangers enter a trance to bring out legendary GekiBeast GekiBat, with whom GekiTohja combines to form GekiBatTohja to battle the Flying Fists in an aerial dogfight. The fight ends with Rūtsu slamming into the side of a mountain and Rasuka destroyed.
Meanwhile, after surviving Kata's training to channel his hatred, a bloodthirsty, berserk Rio attacks the Rinshīs with rage to amplify his malice even more until Rio's hatred became new Confrontation Ki, to Mele's horror. That same hatred awakened Rūtsu as he emerges out of the rubble of the battlefield with intend on getting revenge on the Gekirangers for the death of his partner.[14] |

| After watching a sparring fight between Rio and Kata. Mele offered to look and revive the other Fist Demons in Rio's place, as their training can help. Rio allows it as an irate Kata decides to further Rio's lesson with the aid of the "now-insane" Rūtsu. At SCRTC, Ran got angry at Jan and Retsu's lack of order until Rūtsu shows up in the city, again. While he fights the guys, taking two energy orbs out of them, throwing them to the ground. GekiYellow attacks Rūtsu, knocking the orbs away. When Ran finds Retsu after the fight, she's shocked to see him as an infant and Jan is a young child. Sha-Fu reveals the orbs to be the Pulse, a qi tied to a person's age and without it, the two have no memory of their older selves. But the two can find their Pulse, so Ran has to care for them as their mother until then. During this, Ran loses Jan while changing Retsu. She finds Jan scaling a building, learning he was aiding a baby bird back to its nest with Jan calling Ran "Howa-Howa". Rūtsu then appears, with intend to kill them in the most hateful way possible. The Gekiranger "family" runs away, eventually finding the Pulse orbs. Ran tries to fight Rūtsu, but she is unable to defeat him, until Jan henshins into GekiRed and sends Rūtsu flying to protect his "mama". Ran used the power of motherly love to overpower Rūtsu's hate, then turning Jan and Retsu back into adults. A furious Rūtsu enlarged, only to be destroyed by GekiBatTohja. Soon after, Ran learns that Retsu and Jan have no memory while without their kodou, with Ran a bit sadden by it. While this was all happening, Mele is having trouble finding the Fist Demons' gravesites until it is revealed that her actual goal was not to just revive the remaining Fist Demons, but to replace Kata with a teacher for Rio who was more to her liking. Upon this revelation, a Fist Demon speaks to her, complimenting her about this, as well as informing Mele of her final resting place. Making her way to the beach on instructions, Mele managed to tear down the barrier and used the True Poison Fang, being blasted back on land by the shockwave of the resurrection of the revived Sea Fist Demon: Confrontation Beast Jelly-Fist grand mistress Rageku.[15] | |||||

| The revived Rageku arrives at the Confrontation Beast Hall to meet Rio. However, much to Kata's distaste, Rageku favors Mele more than Rio. When Mele refuses to prove herself by fighting Rio, Rageku poisons Rio as her way to start Rio on the path of suffering and to start Mele's training with a foe of her choosing. Rageku then attacks the city and easily defeats GekiTohja, with Sha-Fu's appearance leading to a revelation on the origins of the Seven Fist Sages and the Three Fist Demons as the first Beast-Fist Masters, until they assumed their current forms and founded the two opposing schools before the Geki-Rin Rebellion that led to the Demons' defeat. Rageku then forces Mele to fight Sha-Fu, immobilizing the Gekirangers to ensure no interference. In order to win, Mele uses Infinite Waves on herself to fight at full strength despite her own internal pain. Rio watches while the poison courses through him, until he overpowers Rageku's Ringi and save Mele from sacrificing herself to kill Sha-Fu. After a brief fight, Rio defeats Rageku although she claimed that she was only testing him for his jealousy of Mele being able to overwhelm Sha-Fu. Rageku then took Rio and Mele as her disciples while as the Gekirangers start training harder.[16] | |||||

| In order to combat Rageku, Sha-Fu sends the team to the isolated Aozame Island to meet the Fist Sage Sharkie Chan, Grand Master of the Fierce Beast Shark-Fist style. In a series of tests which comprised paddling a canoe through several traps, Sharkie becomes impressed by Jan's strength and chooses him as his pupil for learning how to master his style and the GekiSabers. In this training, Jan becomes attached to his teacher, and they form a bond. Meanwhile, Confrontation Beast Hermit Crab-Fist user Dokariya closed in on the group's location, and uses his Ringi Base-Form Robbing Strike to take over Sharkie Chan to have him suffer as Rageku intended: By having him attack the Gekirangers. But Jan's bond with Sharkie allows the Fist Sage to overpower Dokariya's Ringi, with an enraged Jan using the GekiSabers on the Beast-Man before the gang fires GekiBazooka on him. When he becomes a giant, the Gekirangers call upon GekiTohja and use Jan's training to summon the Legendary GekiBeast, GekiShark. They send GekiShark at Dokariya, who is seemingly destroyed, only to be attacked by GekiShark upon its return to everyone's shock.[17] | |||||

| It is revealed that GekiShark is possessed by Dokariya, and it takes an attack from Bat Li and Elehung to tell the Gekirangers to use GekiElephanTohja to defeat GekiShark for the time being. The two Fist Sages berate Sharkie, because they feel that he was not up to the task of teaching a student due to his ideals of a strong body being foolish, before Sha-Fu arrived and suggested that they all go back to the group's campsite to try and continue the training. Sharkie tries to impress Elehung and Bat Li, but they further scold Sharkie's ideals, and he leaves, disheartened as he renounces Jan as his student out of failing him. That night, someone uses one of Sharkie's swords to attack Sha-Fu, and Miki assumes that it must be Sharkie, with Bat Li, Elehung, and the Gekirangers pursuing him. The next morning, the two Fist Sages, Retsu, and Ran find/capture Sharkie, while Miki and Sha-Fu clean up the campsite. While Sha-Fu is distracted, Miki picks up one of tent's pins and charges at him, only to be stopped by Jan who knew something was wrong all along. Dokariya reveals himself after being defeated in Miki's body by Sha-Fu and then jumps into Jan to use him to kill Sha-Fu as Rageku wished. However, Jan overpowers the Hermit Crab-Fist user and forces him out of his body, revealing that Sharkie's training allowed him to overcome the Ringi. Jan then uses the techniques Sharkie taught him to defeat Dokariya with the Gekiwaza Wave-Wave Slash. Dokariya then enlarges and jumps into the sea. But GekiTohja follows by summoning GekiShark and combine to form GekiSharkTohja. The battle underwater ends with GekiSharkTohja's Great Firm-Firm Slash destroying Dokariya. After the battle, Sha-Fu approves of Sharkie as a true master, bringing the Fist Sage to tears. Back at the Confrontation Beast Hall, Rio reveals his one true rival to Rageku: a man with a "White Tiger" Fierce Ki named Byakko.[18] | |||||

| While Confrontation Toad-Fist user Eruka fights the Gekirangers, Rio undergoes a rite of passage to become even more powerful. Eruka is defeated by the Beast-Fist Armament Triangle Attack of GekiTohja armaments as Kata and Rageku give life to two statues in the Confrontation Beast Hall, the Confrontation Machine Soldiers Butoka and Wagataku, to assist Rio. When he arrives in the outskirts of the city, he challenges the Gekirangers to battle, assuming Black Lion form and using the Confrontation Machine Soldiers to keep Jan and Retsu at bay while he faces off with Ran. She does her best to try to defeat Rio, but not even her GekiHammer Bullet-Bullet Ball nor her Mom-Mom Strike can defeat Rio. Retsu then fights Rio with his Double GekiFans, but his Air-Air Slash does nothing against Rio. With Retsu defeated, Jan enters the fray, unable to defeat Rio with either his GekiSaber Thin-Thin Slash or Wave-Wave Slash attacks. He then calls upon Ran and Retsu to try and defeat Rio with the GekiBazooka's Fierce-Fierce Cannon, but even it cannot harm Rio, as he sends an even stronger blast of Confrontation Ki at them, leaving Ran and Retsu back in their civilian clothing. Jan is left standing as he staggers towards Rio who uses the Brave-Roar Wave Ringi on Jan that burns the remnants of his Gekiranger suit off. Rio attempts to finish Jan off, but Jan begins to burn with an intense white Fierce Ki as he attempts to give Rio a finishing punch. Before he can go through with it, he burns himself out and passes out, saying that Rio is "Gokin-Gokin." Rio recognizes this Fierce Ki as the same Fierce Ki as that of the White Tiger as Sha-Fu shows up and explains that it is the Extreme Ki. Sha-Fu adds that it would be more of a victory for Rio to defeat the Gekirangers when they all obtain the Extreme Ki. He agrees to go with Rio as his prisoner, and Rio gives the Gekiranger three days to obtain Extreme Ki or Sha-Fu will be executed. The Gekirangers have lost all hope, but Miki shows up later in the night to bring the team back into their senses. She tells them that they will have to be trained by the final three Fist Sages, who just have arrived to Japan, to achieve the Extreme Ki.[19] | |||||

| To obtain the Extreme Ki, the Gekirangers seek out the Fist Sages that will help them, but they are attacked by the very Fist Sages that they are looking for. The Gekirangers are defeated, and the Fist Sages introduce themselves: Gorie Yen of the Fierce Beast Gorilla-Fist, Michelle Peng of the Fierce Beast Penguin-Fist, and Bion Biao of the Fierce Beast Gazelle-Fist styles. Miki then explains that they must compete with the Fist Sages of the Master Triangle in the Three Peaks Battle, three competitions based on each Gekiranger's own flaws. First, Jan and Gorie Yen compete in a challenge of the "Heart" where the first to stack 500 yen coins on their edges wins. Jan has difficulty, while Gorie asks him why he fights to which Jan does not have a suitable answer. Gorie completes his stack, while an upset Jan was too frustrated to get one to stand. Soon after, he and Retsu fight due to the loss until Ran gets them to stop. Next, she competes with Michelle Peng in a challenge of "Technique" where they skateboard in two turns on a half pipe erected on the roof of SCRTC headquarters with an electronic scoreboard. Michelle performs multiple spins on her first turn, not seeing a need for a second. When Ran attempts the same challenge, she falls on her first try, but Retsu's advice to mentally draw a picture in her mind allows her to ties with Michelle on the second try. The last competition is one of "Body" between Bion Biao and Retsu, where they must grapple to take a bandana off of the other's arm. Retsu attempts to use his Technique, but Biao counters easily. Jan cheers Retsu on, telling him to forget about the techniques and beauty and just fight. The competition lasted until dawn with Retsu managing to take Biao's bandana at sunrise. The Gekirangers win the competition, realizing that by supporting each other, they can do anything. While the competition had occurred, Sha-Fu reveals to Rio that the factor of friendship will allow his pupils to obtain Extreme Ki unlike Rio himself, who loses his temper upon hearing this fact and burns the cage with his Confrontation Ki, telling Sha-Fu that he will face them now. Jan senses Rio on the move as the Master Triangle provide the Gekirangers with the Super Geki Claws, which will allow them to access the Extreme Ki, before they head off to face Rio.[20] | |||||

With Jan's Gekiranger suit burned off, Rio states to Sha-Fu that it is his choice to be stronger that is his reason to fight. However Sha-Fu reveals that deep down, Rio is still afraid of his past. Refusing to accept that truth, Rio attacks Ran and Retsu, leaving them bloodied to Jan's horror. It was then Jan realizes that his true reason to fight is to protect everyone.

Mele, remembering Long's words, decides to follow Hihi to understand the cryptic news he told her. Back at SCRTC, Sha-Fu reveals that Gou used a forbidden Gekiwaza in an attempt to try and seal Rio. When he learns that Rio evaded the attempt and now leads the Akugata, Gou is angered at hearing the news. But Gou is more vexed that Retesu is a Beast-Fist artist, leaving SCRTC in a huff and confronting HiHi with his Violet Fierce Ki until the presence of a golden aura causes him to transform into a werewolf as the Gekirangers arrive. Retsu stays with Gou to try and calm him down while Jan and Ran go to fight Hihi.

Retsu believes that his brother Gou will assist them as the new Gekiranger, but he refuses, revealing he does not fight for justice and showing his Violet Fierce Ki as proof before leaving the SCRTC office. At the Confrontation Beast Hall, Rio is marveled by Hihi's new form as Mele reveals that Maku infused the Rinrinshī with his power, attempting to ask the Fist Demon to give some to Rio too. This resulted with Maku physically rebuffing her, as well as Rio's disappointment at Mele for suggesting that he takes the easy road. Mele leaves in tears, confronted by Long who tells her that Rio's greatest rival, Gou, would be an issue should he become a Gekiranger unless she kills him first. Gou visits a beach before being hit by the mysterious gold cloud and turns into the werewolf. But Natsume was there and managed to calm Gou down back to human form.
