Important things that happened

During Mojikara training, Jii scolds Chiaki for not taking it seriously. Takeru tells Chiaki that if he isn't serious, he will fire him.
Doukoku reveals that his plan is to make the Sanzu River overflow into the human world, thus allowing them to live there. Shitari says that the River rises anytime misfortune is brought upon humans. Doukoku summons Oostumuji after hearing this.
Kotoha is missing, so Chiaki, Ryuunosuke, and Mako go look for her. They find her practicing, and Kotoha mentions that she became a Shinkenger in place of her older sister.
As they return, they hear a bell ringing. Jii explains that it's a Sukima Sensor, and will ring when Gedoshuu come into the human world.
Takeru fights Oostumuji, while the other Shinkengers deal with the Nanashi Renjyuu. Kotoha uses her Land Slicer and accidentally throws it too far, allowing Oostumuji to deal a major blow to Takeru. Kotoha-tachi block Oostumuji's finisher that was intended for Takeru and are left weakened because of it.
As Kotoha is slow to get up, Takeru says to leave her behind. He reminds them that either they will defeat the Gedoshuu, or they will lose and die. Ryuunosuke and the rest feel Takeru is being insensitive, but Kotoha says Takeru is right. As Takeru saves a child, they come to the realization that they have to keep on fighting in order to protect everyone.
After defeating the Ayakashi, it uses it's 2nd life to come back. Realizing that the Origami alone won't be able to defeat the Ayakashi, they attempt a gattai, only to fail at first because they left Takeru out. The 2nd time is successful, and they use Shinken-Oh to defeat the Ayakashi and OoNanashi Renjyuu.
