Synopsis[]
Debo Kantokku, Candelilla’s new monster, kidnaps people and locks them up in another dimension where they are forced to fall in love. Meanwhile Nobuharu enters a marriage interview and is unexpectedly paired with Candelilla in her human form.
Plot[]
The Kyoryugers learn that Nobuharu is attending a marriage meeting orchestrated by Yuko, though everyone but Daigo is convinced it won't end well. On the way, the siblings find Ramirez as he has overdone things once he regained his Brave. They leave him with Souji and Utusemimaru as Yuko confides to them that she knows her brother's activities as a Kyoryuger. Soon after, Nobuharu meets up with his potential future wife Kimiko, who is actually Candelilla in disguise.
Given some time alone, Nobuharu tries to figure out Candelilla's game while learning that she has always had a thing for him, as she did not have the urge to continue with the scheme to take his heart. The other Kyoryugers arrive, exposing Candelilla's monster Debo Kantokku who is acting in a Deboth Army scheme to target men in love - essentially, Candelilla wouold expose their "hearts" as they fell in love before popping them and sending them into Kantokku's chestplate. Revealing he has the power to send people into movies they have watched, Kantokku places the Kyoryugers in the Kyoryu Detectives, based on movies Amy was watching the previous night. Taking a stray shot meant for Candelilla, Nobuharu asks her to meet him again as Debo Kantokku and Luckyuro spirit her way.
Though the others think he is under a spell, Nobuharu intends to talk Candelila into releasing the men her monster has taken captive. Daigo gives him his blessing while Souji and Utusemimaru tell Yuko of Candelilla. Upon finding Candelilla, Nobuharu protects her from Yuko and convinces his sister that she is not evil. Nobuharu pleads with Candelilla her to free the men she captured, and when she asks why, Nobuharu explains that he believes that there is some good in her. However, Debo Kantokku attacks them.
While Ramirez gets Yuko to safety, Nobuharu holds the Debo Monster off. Upon watching Nobuharu getting beaten to a pulp, Candelilla feels powerless before he tells her that she and Luckyuro are created to study human happiness so they can like humans. Touched by his words, shocking Luckyuro, Candelilla kicks Nobuharu's Gaburivolver to him, claiming it to be an accident, and reveals that the captured men are in the film on Debo Kantokku's chest. With this knowledge, Kyoryu Blue frees the men as the other Kyoryugers arrive. Though he places them in the Kyoryu Academy movie, the Kyoryugers escape it and defeat Debo Kantokku. When enlarged, Debo Kantokku proceeds to start up a giant monster movie with Giant Zorima based on Torin's watching Amy's DVDs until Gigant Kyoryuzin destroys the monsters. Later, Nobuharu receives a surprise party at the Spirit Base, and Torin wonders if Candelilla can truly be redeemed. However, back at the Frozen Castle, Candelilla and Luckyuro find that Chaos has returned.
