Important things that happened

Messiah summons 10 Megazords so that he can absorb them into his body. He evolves and becomes massive in size. His hands and head are revealed to be the same as the parts that are seen in the subdimension. After this happens, Messiah absorbs Escape.
Hiromu is busy getting medical treatment during most of the Megazord battle. Nick pilots Ace by himself with help from the other Busters. Hiromu eventually arrives in Tategami Lioh. Ace runs out of juice, so Nick boards Lioh's cockpit to give Hiromu some morale support.
Eventually the three main Busters are in Go-Buster Lioh. They stab Messiah and start injecting them with their antivirus program. Jin and J give back up fire from far away. Eventually Messiah is completely engulfed in the antivirus program and finished off with a blast from Go-Buster Lioh's lion chest.
Enter reappears at the end. The camera zooms in and the viewer can see a 4 in his right eye and a 7 in his left eye, revealing that the card with Jin's data that he extracted as Enter Unite was fused with him. That leaves only Messiah Card 13 left as an unknown.

Hiromu breaks his mask yet again. This time while piloting Ace.
Messiah summons 10 Megazords, breaking the last record for number of Megazords summoned.
Some unique mecha aspects from previous episodes (and the movie) reappear here. Like SJ-05 and Ace combining or FS-0O appearing.
Features all the mecha combinations in the series. Great Go-Buster must have combined during the commercial break.
After Messiah knocks them down, they lose their transformation. So they pilot Go-Buster King without their suits on.
Go-Busters takes a rare break and won't air next week, instead airing on January 6th, 2013.
This is the first time that all five Busters are together in Go-Buster King.
Obviously there is one more Messiah Card, but if this were the real last battle with Messiah, then he was born on Christmas and then died on Christmas 13 years later. There are also 13 Messiah Cards.
