Ep. Final: Earth is Our Home (地球は我が家さ Chikyū wa Waga Ya sa) is the 48th and final episode of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger. It features the first and only televised appearance of Zyuoh Eagle's Great Instinct Awakened.
Synopsis[]
It's the final battle between the Zyuohgers and Shin Ginis. The Zyuohgers recoil from Ginis' overwhelming evil aura, boldly attacking, but their attacks don't hit at all. Furthermore, Ginis begins to engulf everything, and strikes repeatedly. But in all of this, frantically looking for an opening, Yamato realizes Ginis' weakness. Ginis goes into furious rampage when his true colors are shown.
During the fight, the King's Credentials and Great King's Credential break, and the six Zyuohgers can no longer transform. Even so, they fight with all their might and without their powers against Ginis.
Plot[]
Ginis is confident that he can defeat the Zyuohgers because he is able to use the Earth data he took from Cube Whale. The Zyuohgers try to prevent this by attacking Ginis, but this is unsuccessful. Ginis forces Yamato to demorph and sends the Zyuohgers into an alternate dimension where he continues to attack them. Yamato then realizes that everything in this dimension is made of Moebas. Ginis shoots at them and sends them back to reality and demorphed. Naria watches as Yamato announces that he has seen Ginis’ true form. Ginis admits that he is just a mass of Moebas, but refuses to accept that this form is the real him. Instead, he states that he is the most beautiful and greatest life form in all the universe.
Misao says he must have been chosen by Ginis because his self-hate and pain were the same as Ginis’ own. Yamato says Misao is nothing like Ginis, and the others agree. Yamato stands up and says Ginis has no right to play with other people’s lives. Naria flips in and shoots at the Zyuohgers to protect Ginis. She turns to her owner, feeling sorry that he must have gone through such a hard time. She adds that she does not care what his true form is, she will protect him nonetheless.
Naria turns her back to Ginis to face the Zyuohgers who are about to morph, but Ginis shoots right through her heart. Ginis explains to a shocked Naria that he does not like to be pitied. The Zyuohgers absorb more attacks from Ginis who hopes they can be reborn as stronger life forms after he kills them. The Zyuohgers continue to resist Ginis and say they will fight even with King’s Marks. Uncle Mario prays for them while Larry, Bado, and Yamato’s father hope for the best.
The Zyuohgers charge at Ginis and while doing so, the Earth gives its power to them instead of Ginis. With Earth’s power, their King’s Marks are restored and the Zyuohgers are able to morph for the last time. The Zyuohgers unleash their beasts and give it their all against Ginis. The Earth again responds and allows Yamato to unleash his beasts, combining Gorilla, Whale, and Eagle powers together.
Yamato and Ginis take their fight into the air before the Zyuohgers get back together, unleash their beasts, and deliver a Zyuoh Final. That destroys Shin Ginis, but he then proceeds to enlarge himself while transforming back to his original form. The Zyuohgers form Wild Tousai Dodeka King to continue the fight, and destroy Ginis for good with the Zyuoh Dodeka Grand Final Finish. Yamato hugs Misao and they all celebrate.
The next day, the Zyuohgers head to the Link Cube as it is time for the four Zyuman to return home. Yamato says he wants to go with them, but they say they must talk to the elders first. Misao starts crying, but Amu says they will visit often. After a group hug, the Zyuman prepare to return home. Yamato inserts the Great King’s Mark while the others insert their regular King’s Marks into the Link Cube which awakens, completely repaired.
Before the Zyumans can hop into the Link Cube, it flies into the air and sends a wave across the world. Zyuland cube buildings begin to sprout up all across Earth along with Zyumans, shocking both humans and Zyumans. Bud believes the human world has merged with Zyuland. The King’s Marks return to the Zyuohgers. Larry thinks with all the King’s Marks awakened, the planet wanted the two worlds to become one again. Tusk comments that even if people discriminate, this is what they wanted; a connection between the worlds. The four Zyumans then reunite with their families.
Larry and Misao later give a seminar on the two worlds to both humans and Zyumans. Misao sees the three Zyumans from his head waving to him and gains the confidence to proclaim that humans and Zyumans will be able to coexist on this one planet. Uncle Mario also makes new friends, while Yamato sees a young pig Zyuman alone and crying. He bandages her up and invites her to their picnic.

- Some viewers interpreted the outcome of this finale, uniting the Human World with Zyuland, as a criticism of the policies of Donald Trump, who was inaugurated as President of the United States in January 2017. However, writer Junko Komura denied this, explaining in a Cross Talk interview that it served more to inspire Japanese children to "embrace unknown worlds" such as entering elementary school.[1]
