The End of Muteki Shogun (無敵将軍の最期 Muteki Shōgun no Saigo) is the twenty-seventh episode of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger.

Synopsis[]

Saizou and Seikai are approached by Daimaou's emissary, who transforms them into kappa to force them to turn against each other for a chance to be human again.

Plot[]

Driving in Nekomaru, Saizou asks Seikai if they're on the right track for the Hidden Scrolls; NinjaYellow telling him to trust him as he's chowing on food while confusing the directions of whether to go left or right. The van suddenly turns and comes to a stop as Saizou tells Seikai to cut it out and reminds him of the warning that they need to find their Hidden Scrolls or else they'll all turn to stone!

However without warning, the duo are forced to transform as Junior attacks both of them, but is confused by a horrific laughter as the sky darkens, making the Yokai leader realize it is Nue, with the head of a monkey and the body of a raccoon, tail of a snake and legs of a tiger and it's legendary due to it's attacks on Kyoto as Yoki lightning strike the two Kakuranger. The powerful Yokai appears in front of Junior as he states that was his old self as he appears as an Eagle, Snake and Lion with only the Tiger part remaining; angered by the Dorodoro trying to introduce him in the old way, he shoots him dead making the other minions scared while the Yokai tells Junior that Daimaou is not satisfied with the young noble's methods, thus why he was sent down. Junior claims he's lying but Nue decides to show his power, firing a beam and feathers towards NinjaBlue and NinjaYellow making them untransform. He states "let the Yokai Domination begin" while stating that the Kakuranger will die experiencing the agony of hell, turning into Yokai while being alive! The duo are shocked as Nue fires a beam, placing Kappa saucers on top of Saizou and Seikai's heads stating that they can't take them off; they'll continue to live as Kappa until they die, not just as Kappa but as the lowest of Yokai hierarchy, shocking the duo. Nue orders the Dorodoro to dance as they torment the two Kakuranger as they scream for their lives, making Junior acknowledge the horror he is witnessing while Nue states the duo can't escape his Youjutsu.

Running until exhausted, Saizou and Seikai fall down with them getting more tired than usual being drained of water and being scared of the sun. Seikai realizes something and staggers towards a waterfall, taking the water and giving it to Saizou's head recharging him; but with the duo gagging as they start turning green and their hands turning clawed and webbed, mutating further into kappa! Nue states there is only one way to save themselves: fight against one another with the winner being permitted to become human again! The duo mock the notion, making Nue torment them that they'll be full Kappa in two hours and there will be no way for them to turn back at all unless they follow his order and fight and betray one another, stating that is how humans are. The two suddenly gain kappa beaks as Nue states they're still changing and he can't wait to see the two of them fighting. Seikai states that the Hidden Scroll may be able to save them, charging forth against his orders as they find a nearby town, realizing the hill where it was supposed to be was torn down and a town put up in it's place but with it the only potential place it could be!

Saizou and Seikai travel into the town stalking about hoping to find the Hidden Scroll begging for it to appear, but the people confused as they stagger about trying to pull at things in hopes to find the scroll. But soon the duo develop shells on their back, showing their Kappa mutations haven't stopped and making the people scared of them and cower as the people laugh at how pathetic they've become. The duo rush to hide while Nue tells them they have no choice and warning them about the fear of never being human again, making them cower wondering if they will let this happen to themselves. Without warning, Seikai pulls out a knife and attacks Saizou in a frenzied rage, with his friend telling him to stop as he tries to attack until he's cornered, making Saizou punch him and take the knife! Seikai tells Saizou to stab him in hopes that he'll become human while grabbing a rock and bashing him on the head; before realizing what he was doing and crying stating this isn't what he wanted to happen! Saizou claims it hurts as Seikai tells him he wanted him to stab him while Saizou tells him he was an idiot for trying to do that, the two crying at one another stating they'll be together until the day they die. As they realize they're doomed, they figured that they probably forgot the most important thing until now.

Recharged, Saizou and Seikai call out for Nue, the Yokai claiming their such comrades going to hell together as Saizou claims he'll be the one going to hell until Nue wonders if that's what they'd do while Junior and the Dorodoro watch on the sidelines. The two charge at him but Nue lifts Saizou and Seikai easily with telekinesis and grabs them with electric Yoki whips towards him where he grabs them and bashes them together before throwing them away again. Nue calls them lowly Kappa but Saizou and Seikai keep charging, causing even the Dorodoro to support and fear for the two Yokai-transformed humans! The duo throw their Shuriken at Nue, who knocks them all down before they hit him with caltrops that he steps on, leading to Nue to freeze them and slash them down with swords throwing Saizou and Seikai down again. The Dorodoro suddenly vanish and grab water, which they pour on Saizou and Seikai's heads reviving them as they become recharged to the minions' delight. The duo soon charge at Nue again and kick him together, knocking him down and breaking the Kappa curse, making them human again. Junior laugh states "even a worm can change" and that with Kappa as the lowest Yokai, the Dorodoro sympathized with them. The angry Nue attacks the defiant Dorodoro, angering the two Kakuranger until Muteki Shogun suddenly appears, making Junior retreat.

Angered and growing, Nue pulls out his sword as Muteki Shogun summons his Flaming Shogun Sword, attacking Nue until he uses his power to strangle the God with a snake whip and then charging at him slashing him down again and again, making the duo cheer for him to succeed. But ultimately, the God falls in combat, making Nue state they can't defeat him, angering Saizou and Seikai making them transform and telling at him to come at them before Nue swipes them and throws down debris to the ground. NinjaBlue and NinjaYellow fire their Kakulaser; upon which the ground shakes and the Hidden Scrolls for both Kakuranger appear from underground; Nue wonders if they got their Hidden Scrolls as they summon their Super Ninja Beast Gods: God Kumard and God Logan, which the duo bond with. Nue wonders why they're not falling; Seikai states despair doesn't drive them and Saizou adds they've trained to fight and never lose hope! The two soon begin their attack, firing lasers at Nue before using God Logan's tail attack and God Kumard's ground shake ability to rip a crack beneath that Nue falls into before it closes.

Saizou and Seikai yell out for Jiraiya, knowing he's the only one left. However beneath the ground, things begin to stir again...
