Important things that happened
- First part of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger tribute episodes.
- While briefing the Gokaigers in the history of the Super Sentai, covering the 22 Great Powers that they already have using a chart, Gai fails to notice Captain Marvelous, Joe and Luka sneaking away.
- After getting ice cream, the three pirates encounter Action Commander Saturakura Jr., who eats their ice cream while revealing his intent to turn humans into chestnuts to power his missile. More furious that he ate their ice cream, the three assume their Gokaiger forms - only to be outmatched by the Space Ninja's antics before his comrade, Sundahl Jr., arrives. The three Gokaigers battle the two space ninjas using the powers of Livemen and the Abarangers, losing to the duo as the rest of their crew arrive and the ninjas take their leave.
- Later, after discussing what the space ninjas intend to do, GokaiSilver uses BoukenSilver Ranger Key to track down the villains. Though they get the jump on the space ninja duo and save the chestnuts, the Gokaigers lose them as Saturakura Jr. opens up a void that sucks in Captain Marvelous, Joe and Luka.
- But as the three shove their crew mates away, Satarakura Jr. takes his leave with a group of Magerappa to support Sundahl Jr. as he uses his Giant Body Technique.
- GokaiSilver fights the enlarged ninja with GouJyuJin in what becomes a losing battle until the unexpected appearance of Fuuraimaru evens the odds - pinning Sundahl Jr. to a building before Goujyujin finishes him off.
- As Fuuraimaru leaves, GokaiGreen and GokaiPink receive aid from a trio of ninjas that dispense the Magerappa. Gai identifies the trio as the Hurricanegers, who explain only their Grand Power can stop Saturakura Jr. and save everyone.
- Seeing no trust in pirates, the Hurricanegers demand for their Ranger Keys. Gai defends his crew, explaining that the Ranger Keys would not be on Earth if not for Captain Marvelous, and that demanding for their return is not right.
