Sealing!! (封印!! Fūin!!) is the fifty-third and final episode of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. It is the conclusion of the four-part endgame arc.

Synopsis[]

The time for the final confrontation with Daimaou has come at last. But will it be that simple to deal with such a fiend?

Plot[]

Daimaou slams the Skeleton Castle towards the Kakuranger, who survive the attack by hiding behind rocks on the cliffside while Bun and Yoshiteru stand together. However without warning, the team is assaulted by Daimaou, who fires an attack towards all of his enemies. Daimaou states the time has finally come to deal with the Kakuranger by his own hands; but Sasuke states this will be their final battle and they will take Daimaou down, transforming as the lord tells them to bring it on.

The Kakuranger leap towards him, but the Three God Generals suddenly stop them, telling the team to not fall for this ruse and that Daimaou is trying to be attacked intentionally! Daimaou claims it's nonsense as he tells the Kakuranger to strike him down but the God Generals keep saying they shouldn't while Daimaou states he'll be waiting in the city and if they don't show, people will suffer before vanishing. The God Generals tell them to not pursue; they say they've defeated Yamauba and buried the power of hatred, but if they strike Daimaou, the hatred will come back to humanity once again and bring back all the Yokai they defeated up to now! When Jiraiya asks why, the Gods proclaim that Daimaou is made of human hatred itself; Tsuruhime is confused and the Gods untransform them, further telling them to not strike him but capture Daimaou and return him to behind the Seal Door, and that this is the Kakuranger's final challenge. They further state that if the Kakuranger strike Daimaou down, he will split into so many small pieces that he'll enter throughout humanity and refill it with hatred. The Kakuranger are still confused about the task and how they're supposed to do it, but Tsuruhime tells them they have to do as told while searching for the Yokai leader.

Within the city, the team finds Daimaou blending in with people but without anyone but them seeing him! Daimaou states he believes the Three God Generals have told them who he really is and wonder if they can capture him without striking him, stating it is impossible while tempting them to see. Daimaou soon splits into three as the team tries to figure out which he is, splitting up in the process. Sasuke and Tsuruhime see one of the clones toss an old woman from a flight of stairs, making them catch him and swear vengeance as Daimaou continues to taunt him; but Tsuruhime tells Sasuke to not transform when he's about to, with the lord stating he'll come after them if they don't. A second clone is pursued by Jiraiya that pushes a baby carriage into oncoming traffic, making NinjaBlack stop it before he's attacked. Saizou and Seikai find the third clone as he blows a building up, causing massive debris as they protect the people.

The three clones re-merge as Daimaou states it's impossible for the team to capture him alive; but Sasuke tells him to shut up as the whole team charge towards him, but the Yokai lord pushes them away again before blasting them. Saizou tells Sasuke they have to transform to defeat him with Jiraiya agreeing; Seikai states that they have no idea where the Seal Door is; but Tsuruhime believes that striking Daimaou will turn him into shards of hatred! Daimaou wraps them in energy and attacks them, making Jiraiya lose his final nerve and transform; but before he does, the God Generals appear and tell Jiraiya and the others to think it over: if Daimaou is the embodiment of hatred, then the Three God Generals are the embodiment of love, courage and hope; everything is within the heart of a human, and thus the battle with Daimaou is a battle within their own hearts! The team realizes people struggle with their hearts every day, trying to rid themselves of anger and hatred. They question if it's possible since it could return when they let their guard down, thus they can never rid of hatred completely. Jiraiya realizes that Daimaou, the embodiment of hatred, could never be defeated and can only be sealed deep inside to never emerge again. Thus from this, Sasuke realizes where the Seal Door is: the door within everyone's heart that locks anger and hatred! The Three God Generals understand that they've solved the final challenge and permit them to transform so they can capture Daimaou alive and seal him. Sasuke proclaims that Daimaou will be locked within the Seal Doors within their hearts, surprising the Yokai leader as the team transforms for the final battle. Sending out the Flowery Kunoichi-gumi, the Kakuranger avoid them and instead head right for Daimaou, surrounding him as the Three God Generals send out a beam returning the team to the original location of the Seal Door where the Yokai were first released! Sasuke then uses his power to summon the Seal Door at that location, making the ground shake and a new Seal Door appear.

The Seal Door opens as the Three God Generals command Daimaou to be sealed, using their power towards the Flowery Kunoichi-gumi turning them back into cats! Daimaou curses the ninja as he tries to evade them as a giant, but the God Generals and Ninjaman confront him, making Ninjaman attack him and hold him down as the other God Generals push towards him before he tries to keep them away. With their power, the God Generals shrink Daimaou back down in front of the Seal Door, where the Kakuranger storm him and the final struggle begins; Daimaou tries to fight back but the Kakuranger tell him to give up, pushing him as the power of Yokai keep flying out; the God Generals tell them to hurry as they finally push him within and lock the door. Daimaou tries one last time reaching out to try and get them, but the team finally seals the Yokai general within! However as the door closes, Daimaou states that as long as humans exist, the Yokai will resurrect no matter what. The Three God Generals then tell the Kakuranger to take out their Doron Changers and use them to lock the Seal Door, which ultimately stop the noise and knocking and make it die down, finally ending the battle.

The Kakuranger emerge from the chamber of the Seal Door, Sasuke stating the battle is finally over as the team laughs in jubilation that their mission is finally over. The Three God Generals congratulate the five, stating their duty is accomplished and it is time to say farewell. They state that whether the world remains at peace or not depends on each human being's heart; keep the Seal Door in your heart close and never let anger and hatred out as they give the team their farewell. Soon after, the team finds Nekomaru with Bun and Lord Yoshiteru, Tsuruhime hugging him once again. Seikai wonders if it's over, Saizou not believing it and wondering if the Yokai will ever return. Sasuke states that their return depends on their hearts; or more precisely the hearts of humanity: if the world fills with hatred and anger, they may appear again. Jiraiya states they need to tell this to many people as possible; Tsuruhime states they must with love, courage and hope. Yoshiteru tells his daughter to leave him, stating he and Bun will wait for her at home as the team decides to take a long trip together to continue their mission as friends alongside Nekomaru. The team head off excitedly, Bun wishing them farewell as Yoshiteru watches alongside him. Sasuke states the Yokai gave them a lot of trouble and tells them to never come back again. Meanwhile, behind the Seal Door, the Yokai show their anger at losing their powers, swearing they will resurrect and for humanity to wait for that day they take their powers back once again...

Notes[]

  • Viewership: 5.3%
  • A preview for the following season Chouriki Sentai Ohranger, aired after the final episode.
  • Unlike every Sentai team up to this time, this final episode of Kakuranger would not be the end of the team's appearances. The team would appear next season in a special video where they would reunite. The Kakuranger are the very first Sentai team to have a full-team appearance (not using archived footage or stuntmen in costumes with the voices of the originals) beyond their final episode because of this.
