Important things that happened

• An exact Christmas episode and a tribute to Battle Fever J.
• On the Gigant Horse, Akudosu Giru decides to hold the invasion back until the problem with the pirates is solved, and Dairandou decides to bring Action Commander Bibaboo to Earth.
• After Damarasu's demise, Doc's bounty is increased (300,000 zagin) and Navi gets a small bounty (50 zagin) on his head, as well, but the rest of the team is still wondering about the true intentions of Basco, who was put back on the wanted list (10,000,000 zagin) for helping them against the Zangyack. Gai chimes in to remind them that Christmas is coming and he takes Luka to help him with the preparations.
• Gai and Luka stumble on a Santa Claus, accompanied by a panda, who refuses to give any presents to her, much to her dismay, and they find sister and brother Kinoshita Saya and Kinoshita Seiji who are decorating a Christmas tree in the park with for group of children. Luka and Gai help out until Dairandou and Bibaboo appear.
• Bibaboo uses his magic wand to turn their targets into dolls. During the fight, both Seiji and Gai are turned into dolls, just as the other Gokaigers appear to fight Bibabu. While as the Kakurangers, they attempt to take Bibabu's wand and use a spell to turn everyone back to normal, but Dairandou joining the fray foils their plans.
• Later, Luka consoles Saya who is worried about her little brother, and she promises that she will save him as she comes up with her own plan. She goes after Bibaboo on her own, but her attempt appears to fail when Bibaboo turns her into a doll. However, this is revealed to only be a distraction to allow Saya to use Luka's Mobirate and Ranger Key to transform into GokaiYellow, retrieve the wand and turn everyone back to normal.
• With the team gathered, and Luka given her Mobilate back, the Gokaigers transform into an all Yellow team, consisting of Tiger Ranger, Kirin Ranger, Gao Yellow, Hurricane Yellow, Bouken Yellow, and Gosei Yellow to fight Dairando and Bibabu's Dogomin before the main team transforms into the Battle Fever J team, and Gokai Silver manages to combine Gokai Red and Gokai Green's Ranger Keys to transform into Gokai Christmas, to take on Dairando and Bibabu, ultimately destroying Bibabu and leading to Dairandou's retreat.
• Insaan makes Bibaboo and the two Dogoumin grow to giant size, leading the Gokaigers to form Gokai-Ou and GouJyuRex to fight them. After using MagiDragon, GaoLion, and Fuuraimaru against Bibaboo, the group forms Kanzen Gokai-Ou to defeat Bibaboo once and for all.
• Later, the Gokaigers join in the park's Christmas celebration with Luka using the powers of MagiMother to make it snow. Unbeknownst to them, the Santa Claus from earlier was actually the former Battle Kenya, Shiro Akebono, and he has been watching them the whole time to see if they were worthy. When the Gokaigers return to the GokaiGalleon after the Christmas party, Navi tells them they have gotten a gift, which they discover when the Battle Fever Ranger Keys start glowing, signifying that they have earned Battle Fever's Grand Power. As the episode ends, the whole city is snowing.
