Synopsis[]
A space ninja group initiate mysterious bombings around the world - from Paris, to Egypt, China, and many others. Nanami and Kota followed the series of incidents, but were surprised to see a familiar figure appearing before them! It was mentioned that a mistake was made from a battle 10 years ago.
Plot[]
While Nanami was taking a shower, Kota was in her living room and a voice mail comes in from a man named Hase saying that the acting role she auditioned for, isn't what he wanted but he tells her she'll have another chance. Just then Kota gets a phone call from his kids and tells them that he's stuck at work, Nanami screams and sees a bat with her Hurricane Gyro and chases after it the kick it and the bat dropped it. The bat became a monster and begins to take her Shinobi Medal but is called back quickly. Before leaving he says he's part of the Seven Dark Spears, one of the Jakanja, and yet not, the Zero Spear, Bat Zhe Rumba.
Meanwhile at night club which Ikkou sing a song with a band named JUNretsu and Isshu hang out with ladies. However one of the ladies looked familiar to them and just then, a black figure with a black HurricaneRed helmet appears and used a sword technique. The Gouraiger brothers find their Shinobi Medals gone and found out that sword technique was the Kabuto Lighting wave that Ikkou taught Yosuke. The black figure turns into Yosuke and hands the medals to the lady who transforms into Frabeejo. Yosuke then says the last ten years he spent with his teammates were a mistake before vanishing. Nanami and Kota arrive at Yosuke's office and finds it empty with pictures of him all over the world and TOP SECRET files on his desk each one about different Space Unified Ninja School branches around the world. Then a boy appears at the door and says that heroes will die but then glitches and asks Yosuke for his help.
Meanwhile Frabeejo puts the Gouraigers' medals on a Jakanja logo which held the young boy who appeared in Yosuke's office on a cross shocking him. Wendine get shocked when she and Frabeejo meets Rumba, who puts the medals to the layer, with Tenkai being crucified. Rumba orders both Frabeejo and Wendine to find the other remaining medals. Meanwhile, Nanami and Kota fly around the city to find out what is going on. Yosuke presses a button to destroy a building but the two Hurricanegers said they disarmed it and capture Yosuke to be be brought to a meeting. Inside a subspace like room, a woman behind curtains asks what Yosuke was doing but then, Hinata and Oboro appear and were told they weren't called for the meeting. Kota says that him and Nanami were attacked by a Jakanja yet not. He also told he was after the Shinobi Medals and said the Gouraigers lost theirs and said Yosuke took them. Nanami then says they saw a young boy outside of Yosuke's office. Just then Rumba appears and Oboro claims there was a man that joined the rank of the Jakanja and was the most skilled warrior of the Space Unified Ninja School. The Hurricanegers then find out that Yosuke let his teammates capture him. Then Yosuke looks under the curtains and finds a lady who was a relative to Lady Gozen and takes the Shurikenger Shinobi Medal. Yosuke tells Rumba to release Tenkai and the boy appears but realizing it was a hologram. Rumba disappears and the Hurricanegers are teleported to Shinobi Valley.
The Hurricanegers wanted answers and Yosuke tells them the boys name was Tenkai, a boy he found unconscious on the shore of a beach and he joins him on his adventures but refused to go to the hospital. One day Yosuke find Tenkai captured by Rumba and shows him a flashback from ten years ago after the Hurricanegers and Gouraigers defeated an enemy and showed that Tenkai inherited the blood from the Evil Will to awaken it within him, it needed the power of the Shinobi Medals. After the Gouraigers appeared, they told them about the times they had. Issue told them he knew where the Shinobi Medal because he had a transmitter. Yosuke then rejoins the team to save Tenkai. When they arrive at the layer they find Tenkai was about to awake the Sacred Will. But Yosuke tells him to remember what they've been through and Tenkai breaks free and are teleported out of the layer. Tenkai then fights the Magerappas and the Shurikenger Shinobi medal glows then transforms into the Shuriken ball as he transforms into Shurikenger. He then uses the disappearing technique to retrieve the other five Shinobi medals to return to the Gouraigers and Hurricanegers as they transform and do their roll call.
The Hurricanegers fight the Magerappa army and do special techniques that relate to acting, singing, and dancing, with Frabeejo and Wendine as the commentators to boost Magerappa morale. However Frabeejo defeated by Nanami, as well as Wendine, who is defeated by Kota. The Gouraigers fight the Magerappa army by doing battle dancing. After the Magerappa army was defeated, both Frabeejo and Wendine ended their role as commentators. But then Bat Zhe Rumba summons two men in black hoods start to attack HurricaneRed and Shurikenger unconscious but they get back on their feet. Shurikenger uses Fire Mode and he and HurricaneRed use Shurikenger's special move. After that, all six use a Kage no Mai attack on Rumba and use all six of their weapons to make the Ten Year Reunion, Final Gadget and eventually destroy Rumba. After Rumba's death, Frabeejo and Wendine disappears as they swear that they will be back for another 10 years.
Oboro and Mugensai are impressed that the 6 warriors defeated Rumba but he turns in a hamster when he hears he has to pay bills for the damaged branches. During the end credits Yosuke asks the others if they want to look for successors for themselves. Nanami still wants to be a Hurricaneger and continue on her career, Ikkou tells them he still wants to be a Gouraiger and still be part of JUNretsu and Isshu still wants to be a Gouraiger. Kota tells them he's going to tell his kids that he is a Hurricaneger. Yosuke says to keep going at it.
Continuity and Placement[]
- As the title suggests, this movie takes place ten years after the Hurricanegers defeat of Boss Tao Zant. However this movie is set only in the continuity of the TV series itself, and not the Super Sentai universe as a whole. In this universe, the original Shurikenger is dead and the Hurricanegers has disbanded after the final battle, while Frabeejo and Wendine still alive for unknown reasons. There is no reference to the events of Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger, Boukenger vs. Super Sentai, the Legend War, the team-up with the Gokaigers or Super Hero Taisen. To add further discontinuity, when Shurikenger guest-stared in Ninninger's The Legendary Ninja! Yokai Karuta Tactics, it was the original Shurikenger, not Tenkai.
