Denji Sentai Megaranger (電磁戦隊メガレンジャー,Denji Sentai Megarenjā;Electromagnetic Squadron Megaranger) isToei's twenty-first production of theSuper Sentaimetaseries, and the second Sentai, afterKousoku Sentai Turboranger in which all heroes are high school students. The footage was also used in the American seriesPower Rangers in Space. It aired from February 14, 1997, to February 15, 1998, replacingGekisou Sentai Carranger, and was replaced bySeijuu Sentai Gingaman. Toei gave it the nameMega Rangers for international distribution.

Shout! Factory released "Denji Sentai Megaranger: The Complete Series" on DVD on October 31, 2017. This is the 6th Super Sentai series to be released in North America on Region 1 DVD.^[1] In January 2018, Shout! streamed the series on their website.^[2]

One of the series villain costumes and a prop were used for the 7th season of the AmericanPower Rangers series (Power Rangers Lost Galaxy which was adapting the 1998 Sentai installment,Seijuu Sentai Gingaman).

Kenta Date, a senior high school student, is the ultimate champion of an arcade video game calledMegaranger. He belongs to the Cybernetics club, a group of like minded friends from his school. Koichiro Endo, Shun Namiki, Chisato Jogaseki, and Miku Imamura are also members of Cybernetics. The International Network of Excel-Science and Technology (INET), the games creators, invite Kenta and the Cybernetics club members to tour the INET laboratories. Following a short tour of the INET HQ buildings, the company is attacked by the Neijirejia, an evil force led by Dr. Hinelar on a mission to conquer the current reality. Dr. Kubota, INET's chief scientist, reveals that Megaranger was more than only a simple video game but actually a combat simulator to identify potential recruits for a super fighting team to combat the Neijirejia. While the INET headquarters (HQ) is destroyed by the Neijirejia warrior Yugande, Dr. Kubota gives Kenta and his friends devices known as 'Degitaizers'. By entering the key-code "3-3-5" and shouting "Install, Megaranger!", the five students transform into the Megarangers to fight the Nejirejia.

The International Network of Excel-Science and Technology (世界科学者連邦,Sekai Kagakusha Renpō; INET) is the company responsible for theMegaranger video game used to identify five people to become the Megarangers.

Five high school students chosen by INET become the titular Denji Sentai Megaranger, with one additional member who is an INET agent. Their base of operations is the Digital Research Club at Moroboshi High School.

Kenta Date/Mega Red (伊達 健太/メガレッド,Date Kenta/Mega Reddo): 18 years old, Kenta is a slacker and knucklehead who likesyakiniku (to a point where he will ask Dr. Kubota to treat him to a yakiniku lunch for every mission accomplished), but is also friendly, playful, and has a good heart. He becomes an ideal candidate to become a Megaranger after beating a skilled opponent on INET'sMegarangerarcade game, which was actually a tool used to recruit Megarangers.

As Mega Red, Kenta's forehead symbol is apersonal computer, which enables him to upload data and program skills into his mind, making him an adaptable warrior. Ironically, he is the only member who does not like computers.

Kouichirou Endo/Mega Black (遠藤 耕一郎/メガブラック,Endō Kōichirō/Mega Burakku): 18 years old, Kouichirou is the functioning leader and overachiever of the team. Aside from being a keensoccer player, he is a member of the class committee and is concerned about his schoolwork. He balances his duties as a Megaranger and a student. He has a younger brother, Koujiro, who also plays soccer. A natural leader but extremely bossy, he once created an hour by hour schedule for all the Megarangers to follow but they ignored it. During his stay at the Epinard Nasu hotel in Tochigi, Kouichirou encounters a mysterious boy who is a spiritual representation of the forest that is not only in danger of Kinoko Nejire's attack on it but INET's Relay Base. He eventually gains the forest spirit's trust as he uses up all his power to help the Megarangers as Kouichirou promises to have INET relocate the relay base.

As Mega Black. Kouichirou's forehead symbol is a digitalsatellite, which enables him to trace communication sources and transmissions. His special attacks are theSatellite Search,Satellite Scan, andMiracle Shoot (ミラクルシュート,Mirakuru Shūto) (soccer ball kicking attack).

Shun Namiki/Mega Blue (並樹 瞬/メガブルー,Namiki Shun/Mega Burū): 18 years old, Shun is a loner who aspires to become a computer-graphics artist and initially refuses to become a Megaranger. After seeing Kenta attempt to keep the Kune Kune from interfering in his lifelong dreams, Shun reconsiders and becomes good friends with Kenta. He plays the flute, as his late mother was a world-renowned flautist. Shun is adept at creating battle strategies, such as confusing the Nejirangers by making the other Megaranger suits look like his. Shun is aVirgo, according to Miku.

As Mega Blue, Shun's forehead symbol is adigital TV, which enable him to createCG images and trap enemies in a movie dimension where characters from that dimension attack the enemy. His special attacks are theVirtual Vision andVirtual Holograph.

Chisato Jougasaki/Mega Yellow (城ヶ崎 千里/メガイエロー): 18 years old, Chisato dreams of becoming a professional photographer. Aside from photography, she is also into singing. She is attracted to Kouichirou. Compared to the rest of her teammates, she gets the least amount of focus (sans from the episode previews).

As Mega Yellow. Chisato's forehead symbol is adigital camera, which enables her to telescopically search for people and things – even allowing her to see through walls – as well as record and playback anything she sees. Her special attacks are theDigicam Search,Galaxy Search, andBlade Arm (ブレードアーム,Burēdo Āmu).

Miku Imamura/Mega Pink (今村 みく/メガピンク,Imamura Miku/Mega Pinku): 18 years old, Miku eats a lot, but is very self-conscious about her weight. She dislikes schoolwork just as much as Kenta, and because of this, the two of them are very good friends. She is attracted to Shun. During the Megarangers' encounter with Bibidevi on episode 17, Miku is accidentally hit by an evolution beam and becomes "Super Mega Pink" (超メガピンク,Chō Mega Pinku; 17), which makes the colored squares on her costume turn gold. As Super Mega Pink, Miku gainssuper strength and can wield the other Megarangers' weapons. Additionally, her intelligence increases to anIQ of 800, along with a change in her personality. However, after suffering painful side effects, Miku manages to return to her normal self. InGaoranger vs. Super Sentai, she lecturesSae Taiga (Gao White) on the Super Sentai franchise's many female warriors and their shared skill at changing their clothes in the blink of an eye, something that Sae had never done before.

As Mega Pink, Miku's forehead symbol is acell phone, which enables her to track and analyze sound waves. Her special attack is theTelephone Search.

Yusaku Hayakawa/Mega Silver (早川 裕作/メガシルバー,Hayakawa Yūsaku/Mega Shirubā; 24–29, 32, 33, 35–38, 40–43, 46, 48–51 &Megaranger vs. Carranger): The 25-year-old chief of INET's Special Development Division, Yusaku is one of the scientists under Kubota who created the Mega Suits, including Mega Silver which was theprototype Mega Suit. Though he is placed in charge of the Super Mega Project, Yusaku secretly took the Mega Silver powers for his own use in helping the Megarangers despite Kubota's insistence that he gets back to work. Initially, Yusaku's transformation into Mega Silver lasts for 2.5 minutes due to how powerful it was, but he was able to repair it by the time Nejirejia discovers this. When the primary Megarangers alter their costumes to look like Shun's to trick the Nejirangers, Yusaku confuses them even further by disguising himself as Neji Silver (ネジシルバー,Neji Shirubā; 41), wielding a twisted version of his Silver Blazer. Yusaku also pilots his own mecha, Mega Winger. He has also demonstrated his culinary skills by preparing a lavish meal to distract a Nezire Beast before Mega Pink defeats it. In the final battle, he is able to assist the Megarangers by using his damaged Mega Winger to free the Voyager Machines from the rubble of the INET Moonbase to give the Megarangers a chance of defeating Death Nejiro and attend their high school graduation ceremony.

As Mega Silver, Yusaku's forehead symbol is amicrochip.

Space Fairy Picot is voiced byFushigi Yamada (山田 ふしぎYamada Fushigi).

The Evil Electric Kingdom Nezirejia (邪電王国ネジレジア,Jaden Ōkoku Nejirejia)^[a] are invaders from another dimension ruled by an entity called Javious. Their names and appearances are all twisted and distorted. They have stationed in the Death Neziros (デスネジロ,Desu Nejiro) fortress which transforms into the giant robot Grand Neziros (グランネジロス,Guran Nejirosu; 51) in the series finale. This robot can regenerate severed limbs as well as bind and electrocute his victims with cables and was finally destroyed along with the Mega Voyager in the finale. Hinelar self-destructed the Death Neziros from the inside in an attempt to blow up the Megarangers, the people in their high school and the Mega Voyager. The Megarangers nearly sacrifice themselves to carry Death Neziros with the Mega Voyager into the sky to prevent any further damage to their high school.

• Evil Electro-King Javious the First (邪電王ジャビウス1世,Jadenō Jabiusu Issei; 2–43)^[b] is the ruler of Nezirejia. He appears only as a giant eye on the screen of the Death Neziros. Very little is known about him and he is killed when the last of the Nejirangers, whose life forces are connected to his, are destroyed by the Megarangers. Upon his death, Javious was revealed to be the nucleus of Nejirejia which fades away upon his death. Only Javious' heart remained which Hinelar used to power his Hinelar City. Javious' heart was later destroyed along with Hinelar City. Javious the First is voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo.
• Dr. Hinelar (Ｄｒ．ヒネラー,Dokutā Hinerā)^[c] is the leader of the Nezirejia invasion party. He was originally a cybernetics scientist named Dr. Samejima (鮫島博士,Samejima-hakase), who studied space exploring suits and lost his beloved daughter in one of his experiments, destroying his reputation and scarring him. He later worked with Kubota on an interdimensional project, being the first to discover the existence of Nezirejia. A year later, Samejima decides to enter the dimension to prove its existence in spite of Kubota's pleas not to be reckless and ends up becoming Javious', right-hand man. Kubota later realized that Dr. Hinelar and Samejima are one and the same when he recognizes that the suits of the Nejirangers are similar to the Power Suits Samejima had developed. Hinelar later plots and successfully kills Javious through the Nejirangers, to become the new high leader of the Nejirejians. After the destruction of Javious, the Nezire Dimension closes making Hinelar build Hinelar City (ヒネラーシティ,Hinerā Shiti) in which he intended to concentrate all mankind as data cards. Soon after the destruction of his city, Hinelar began his personal attack on the Megarangers after learning their identities and making sure that they become outcasts to society. But Yugande's and Shibolena's demises drove Hinelar over the edge and gained a monster form to battle the Megarangers himself. However, the device that kept his body from warping on itself (a side effect from being in Nezirejia) was damaged and he retreated into the Death Neziros and turning it into Grand Neziros. When GrandNeziros exploded during the Mega Voyager's sacrifice, Hinelar dies, still inside while trying to will his body from collapsing onto itself. Dr. Hinelar is portrayed by Tetsuo Morishita.
• Shibolena (シボレナ,Shiborena; 1–50)^[d] is a cyberneticgynoid modeled after Hinelar's long dead daughter, Shizuka. Considers herself the masterpiece of Dr. Hinelar's work. She wassecond-in-command to Hinelar on the Death Neziros, a mistress of disguise and illusions. Wielding arapier, she was also the smart one, often initiating plans for conquest. Creating Rose Nezire through her own DNA, Shibolena poses as anun to give her offshoot's roses to children, turning them into slaves and subject them toDemon Therapy to create "Little Rose Nezire". But with one of the children being her new friend Ruri, Chisato arrives and nearly exposes herself as Mega Yellow (whom Shibolena establishes a rivalry with) to wound Shibolena with her Blade Arm. Fortunately, Mega Blue creates a holographic duplicate of Chisato to confuse Shibolena. She was critically wounded near the finale, by Mega Red, while protecting Yugande. She makes it back to the Death Neziros, to inform Hinelar of Yugande's death. Her body explodes right before Dr. Hinelar's eyes after she says goodbye to her master. The design of her hairstyle-like helmet is based on an American CG illustration used as a reference.^[4] Shibolena is portrayed by Asami Jo.
• Bibidevi (ビビデビ,Bibidebi)^[3][e] is a little annoyingimp monster that begins his sentences with "Bibi" and ends them with "debi". In episode 3, Dr. Hinelar modified him with the ability to make the Nezire Beasts grow by biting them and injecting them with a Giganto Virus (巨大化ウィルス,Kyodaika Wirusu) whenever they are destroyed or are nearing defeat at the hands of the Megarangers. In secret, Bibidevi wanted to be the head of Nejirejia and has some affection for Shibolena, secretly sending Canary Nezire to act on his behalf. He appears to have died in the Grand Neziros when it was destroyed, by Mega Voyager's suicide attempt. Later, it is revealed that he teleported Hizumina out of the giant robot before the destruction.
• Yugande (ユガンデ; 1–8)^[f] is a pridefulwire-frame model-themed robot general created by Hinelar whom he admires and unconditionally obeys. He wields the Dark Thunder (ダークサンダー,Dāku Sandā) sword. Being high-strung, Yugande offers to handle the Megarangers himself. Using a divide and conquer strategy to take out the Megaranger members one by one, Yugande gets Mega Red to fight him in subspace so no one would interfere and nearly kills him before the others manage to breach the barrier. Mega Black is badly injured as they get their teammate to safety. Later, Yugande calls Mega Red out, attacking him in his enlarged form as the others arrive to aid him. Using Galaxy Mega, the Megarangers weaken him with the Saber Electromagnetic Whip before killing him with the Mega Side Cutter. However, Yugande is later rebuilt through the Nejzre Circle in a stronger form, Yugande Relive (ユガンデ・リライブ,Yugande Riraibu; 9–31). But as he needs to get used to his upgrade, Yugande remained on the sidelines until the "Ultimate Lifeform" incident, attempting to exact revenge on Mega Red while the monster feeds. Though he manages to destroy Mega Red's Drill Saber and nearly kills him, Yugande is driven off by the Megarangers' Multi Attack Rifle. Later, he was critically wounded in Episode 30 when Guirail uses him as a shield to protect him from the Super Galaxy Mega's Super Galaxy Knuckle. Yugande was modified in a form called Yugande Strong (ユガンデ・ストロング,Yugande Sutorongu; 33–50), with various mechanical implants placed on him to survive, and is given a better sword called the Dark Crisis (ダーククライシス,Dāku Kuraishisu), which has three buttons on its handle to activate different attacks such as Dark Blade, Dark Fire, Dark Lightning, and Dark Triple Crisis (all three attacks combined). Yugande uses a special chip to take on a more powerful, red-colored form called Burning Yugande (バーニング・ユガンデ,Bāningu Yugande; 50). With this new power, Yugande proves to be a difficult challenge for the Megarangers, as he destroys the Delta Mega, badly damages the Galaxy Mega and Mega Winger and nearly destroys the Voyager Machines when he damages the INET Moonbase. Yugande, however, meets his end when the Nezi Reactor inside him is damaged and he is killed by Mega Red. Yugande is voiced by Hirotaka Suzuoki.
• Guirail (ギレール,Girēru; 19–32)^[g] is a bandaged warrior was one of Javious' trusted minions, he is sent to Earth to aid Hinelar with the Megarangers. Guirail used crueler methods than Dr. Hinelar's (an example of this is in his first appearance where he used children as shields), even performing unusual experiments on the Nezire Beasts. Prior to revealing himself to Hinelar's group, Guirail stages an attack to capture the children of a city district while breaking Kenta's will to fight by having him hit Takeshi by accident. However, while leading a new attack on a communication building, Guirail messes with Mega Red until he is beaten by him with the Battle Rizer. Later on, he infected Yugande to become Giga-Guirail (ギガギレール,Giga Girēru; 30). But when the Super Galaxy Mega used its Super Galaxy Knuckle attack, Guirail canceled out the fusion to use Yugande as a shield to protect himself. An angry Shibolena tries to kill him but Dr. Hinelar stopped and tricked Guirail into taking the Nezire Source Capsule that gives him tremendous power and robs him of his sanity. This mutated Guirail into an insane beast called Mad Guirail (マッドギレール,Maddo Girēru; 31 & 32) who was so powerful that the Super Galaxy Mega was no match for it. Using full power, the Super Galaxy Mega only caused him to break off a piece of his body that formed into Gigire. The Megarangers were able to escape to the INET Moonbase on the Delta Mega where Yuusaku gave them the Voyager Machines. In the end, Gigire, and later Mad Guirail, were the first two to be killed by the Mega Voyager. Guirail is voiced by Tatsuyuki Jinnai.
• Hizumina (ヒズミナ; Gingaman vs. Megaranger)^[h] is the last of Hinelar's creations and Shibolena's "Younger Sister", mostly identical save for her armor being purplish. She secretly wished to revive Hinelar having grown to miss him with Shibolena's memories, but was betrayed by Gregory when participating in reviving the Balban space pirates. Surviving the treachery, Hizumina attempts to take advantage of the fight to kill the Megarangers, only to be ultimately killed by Mega Red.
• Kunekune (クネクネ)^[i] are Nezirejia's grunts, having twisted faces and using twisted blades as their weapons. They are also able to assume human form.
  • Boss Kunekune (ボスクネクネ,Bosu Kunekune; 14): A black-headed version of the Kunekune able to fire energy from his hands. Posing as a police officer, Boss Kunekune leads his Nezire Army into taking over the Yuhigaoka Apartment Building in the H Ward as part of a plan to secretly replace every person on Earth with Kunkune. When Megarangers uncover the plan, the Kunekune attempt to kill off Mega Red and Mega Pink with their massive numbers before Boss Kunekune arrives to finish them off. However, after being defeated by Mega Red's Drill Sniper Custom, Boss Kunekune calls his army to group around him to form King Kunekune (キングクネクネ,Kingu Kunekune), with his head in the heart area. Because he was composed of many Kunekune, King Kunekune could close wounds in seconds. When Boss Kunekune was destroyed by the Galaxy Mega with the Booster Rifle, King Kunekune disassembled in the explosion.

The Jaden Sentai Neziranger (邪電戦隊ネジレンジャー,Jaden Sentai Nejirenjā; 38–43, 48) are cyborgs were created by Dr. Hinelar from Javious I's DNA as evil counterparts to the Megarangers. Their suits are similar to power suits that Dr. Hinelar had developed back when he was known as Samejima. They share an attack called Neji Energy Attack. Unfortunately, the Nezirangers were impatient and wanted nothing more than to kill their Megaranger counterparts. The Nezirangers were used by Hinelar not only to kill the Megarangers in suicide attacks, but also to kill Javious by slowly draining him of his "life energy" which they siphoned. When badly damaged or enlarged, they transformed into their monstrous true forms. The Nezirangers' urge to kill managed to keep them from dying as they used Hinelar's data-card machine to regain physical form. They not only resume their original goal, but also to try to kill Hinelar for using them in the first place. The Megarangers manage to digitize them, preserving them as Data Cards, which were destroyed along with Hinelar City.

• Nezi Red (ネジレッド,Neji Reddo; 38–43, 47 & 48) is the leader and most arrogant of the Nezirangers who wields the Nezi Saber (ネジセイバー,Neji Seibā). His true form of Nezi Phantom (ネジファントム,Neji Fantomu; 42, 43 & 48) is afire monster with pyrokinetic abilities. Once turned on Dr. Hinelar when he discovered that the Nezirangers were mere pawns in Hinelar's plans, but had his free will removed. Killed by Super Galaxy Mega, Mega Voyager and Mega Winger, later turned into a Data Card.
• Nezi Black (ネジブラック,Neji Burakku; 38–43, 47 & 48) is the fiercest member of the five who wields the Nezi Rod (ネジロッド,Neji Roddo). His true form is Nezi Vulgar (ネジヴァルガー,Neji Varugā; 42, 43 & 48) is arock monster that can use a rock-liketentacle. Killed by Super Galaxy Mega, Mega Voyager and Mega Winger, later turned into a Data Card.
• Nezi Blue (ネジブルー,Neji Burū; 38–41, 47 & 48) wields the Nezi Tomahawk (ネジトマホーク,Neji Tomahōku). As the most sadistic of the five, he became obsessed with specifically fighting and killing Mega Blue. His true form of Nezi Bizzare (ネジビザール,Neji Bizāru; 41 & 48) is a crystallineice monster with freezing abilities. Killed by Wing Mega Voyager, later turned into a Data Card.
• Nezi Yellow (ネジイエロー,Neji Ierō; 38–43, 47 & 48) wields the Nezi Sling (ネジスリング,Neji Suringu). She is the most cunning member and rival of Nezi Pink. Her true form of Nezi Sophia (ネジソフィア,Neji Sofia; 42, 43 & 48) is aspider monster with the ability to control electronics or anything powered by electricity, most notably taking control over the Mega Voyager. Killed by Super Galaxy Mega, Mega Voyager and Mega Winger, later turned into a Data Card.
• Nezi Pink (ネジピンク,Neji Pinku; 38–40, 47 & 48) is the most brutal member who wields the Nezi Arrow (ネジアロー,Neji Arō). After making a bet with Nezi Yellow to see which one of them would take away the mask of their respective Megaranger counterparts and bringing them back, Nezi Pink faced off against both Mega Yellow and Mega Pink who defeated her with a Capture Sniper and Blade Arm combo. Unfortunately, Nezi Pink managed to show them her true form of Nezi Jealous (ネジジェラス,Neji Jerasu; 40 & 48), aplant monster who gave Mega Voyager and Mega Winger a hard battle. With Mega Silver using Mega Winger as a shield while the Megarangers channeled all of Mega Voyager's power into their Voyager Spartan, they managed to use the super-powered Voyager Spartan to finally destroy Nezi Jealous. Later turned into a Data Card.

The Nezire Beasts (ネジレ獣,Nejirejū;Twist Beasts) are monsters created by Dr. Hinelar when a Nezire Egg, a capsule holding genetically altered DNA, is placed on the Nezire Magic Circle (ネジレ魔法陣,Nejire Mahōjin) and exposed to great amounts of energy, twisting and twirling while Shibolena chants a spell, "Twist and Turn. Assume physical form". Once the process is complete, a Nezire Beast is born and fully matured. There is always some part on the body of the Nezire Beast that is twisted.

On April 6, 1997, (The day that Episode 8 aired) the show later began to air on Sunday mornings at 7.30 am JST instead of late afternoons on a Friday. This would remain the regular time slot for Super Sentai shows until October 2017.

The V-Cinema special takes place between episodes 39 and 40. Arriving late for school, as the car was at Pegasus Garage, Kenta learns that today is graduation picture day. Seeing a beam of light nearby, Kouichirou gets the others out of class to investigate. The five find a seashell before they are attacked by Space Biker Helmedor who wants the shell to fulfill his dreams, overpowering the Megarangers before Mega Silver arrives and engages the biker in a motorcyclists' duel. Suddenly enlarging with his bike, Helmedor battles Super Galaxy Mega before he is forced to shrink and retreat. Later, while trying to find out the seashell's true nature, Miku uses it to wish for a big cake before it is stolen by a group of strange students who actually are the staff of the Pegasus Garage. But with Mega Yellow placing a tracer on the getaway car, the Megarangers track them to the Pegasus Garage where Kyousuke wishes forKatsudon before he and his team are attacked by Yugande and Crab Nezilar. Refusing to stand aside, they assume their Carranger forms to fight Crab Nezilar while the Megarangers deal with Yugande and the Kunekune. The two Sentai teams join forces to force the Nezirejians back as the shell opens up to reveal an alien identified as Space Fairy Picot who wants to grant their last three wishes. Arriving at Yume Beach, the teams get to know each other while talking out to want they would use the last three wishes before Dappu arrives. But "Dappu" turns out to be Helmedor, having made a deal with the Nezirejians to get Picot.

As Helmedor runs off, Shibonlena has the Kunekune hold the Megarangers as she uses her power to turn the Carrangers into her slaves and sicks them on the Megarangers. During the fight, the Megarangers find the real Dappu and untie him. In a risky gambit, Dappu fuses the Megrangers' weapons with his Carmagic to free the Carrangers from Shibolena's spell. At that time, after wishing for a planet-destroying laser cannon, Helmedor betrays Crab Nezilar and fights him. After making a wish to revive previous Psycho Nezilars to overpower the Megarangers, Crab Nezilars was about to make the final wish when Helmedor steals the fairy. But the Carrangers get Picot and throw a decoy into the distance to hold the villains at bay. Coming to the students' aid, the Carrangers give them Picot to make the final wish to their shock. By the time Crab Nezilar and a brainwashed Helmedor return to the battlefield, the Megarangers' wish to keep fighting enables them to don the Mega Tector armor. After destroying the revived monsters with Rainbow Impulse, Shibolena has Bebedebi bite Crab Nezilar and Helmedor as Mega Voyager and RV Robo are formed to fight them. Though Helmedor attempts to turn with the planting destroying laser, Mega Winger destroys the weapon as Wing Mega Voyager and RV Robo perform their finishers to respectively destroy Crab Nezilar and Helmedor. Soon after, Picot leaves for the next planet as the two sentai teams go out to take their own graduation memorial picture at Yume Beach.
