Two weeks ago, Gokai Red was challenged by Dragonranger to a match for the Gauntlet Ultimate Championship, and Gokai Red accepted. Now, Dragonranger will team up with two other members of the Six Squad: Kamen Rider Zi-O, and KibaRanger, as they take on Gokai Red, Kamen Rider Geiz, and Kamen Rider Grease, in preparation for their upcoming match.
Welcome...to The Gauntlet.
1. Ryu Commander's Announcement
The episode opened with Ryu Commander making his way to the ring. He announced that he felt like many of the fighters weren't getting that much opportunity, so there would be a battle royal at Future Fist. The winner would earn either an All-Star Championship title shot, a Rider-Division Championship title shot, or a Women's Championship title shot.
Suddenly, Kuroninja Gold made his way to the ring, with the Gouraigers behind him. He was carrying a cauldron, which contained the All-Star Championship and the Tag Team Championship. Kuroninja Gold was wondering why Ryu Commander put him in an 8-way elimination match. Ryu Commander said that Kuroninja Gold was cheating to keep his All-Star Championship, and that he wasn't behaving like a fighting champion. Kuroninja Gold then demanded that the match be fairer. Ryu Commander then said that only 2 fighters were allowed in the ring, but Kuroninja Gold said that that wasn't enough. He wanted to choose his opponents.
Ryu Commander then said that Kuroninja Gold wasn't the one to make the matches, he was. Ryu Commander then announced Lupin Red, Shurikenger, Gokai Silver, Oushi Black, Gokai Black, Deathryuger, and Lupin X as his challengers. Kuroninja Gold then said that he wanted MammothRanger to replace Lupin X, since "MammothRanger was more deserving of a title shot." However, MammothRanger was part of Kuroninja Gold's faction too, so Ryu Commander didn't let him in. After Kuroninja Gold started arguing again, Ryu Commander said that MammothRanger could replace Lupin X, all he had to do was defeat him later.
2. The Blood Tribe vs Akaninger and Zyuoh Eagle
These 4 fighters were all going to be a part of the Future Fist Battle Royal. However, they decided to have a quick match first to show everyone what they were capable of.
First, Kamen Rider Evol and Kamen Rider Killbas, the Blood Tribe, made their entrance first. They didn't have that much success as a tag team, but that was all about to change. If one of them could win the battle royal, it meant that one of them had a shot at the Rider-Division Championship. Kamen Rider Evol wanted to become a two-time Rider-Division Champion.
Akaninger and Zyuoh Eagle then made their entrance next. These 2 red rangers also wanted to win the battle royal. For now, they were going to team up against the Blood Tribe.
The bell then rang, and the match started with Zyuoh Eagle and Kamen Rider Evol in the ring. Kamen Rider Evol charged at Zyuoh Eagle, but Zyuoh Eagle got out of the way. He then kicked Kamen Rider Evol in the face and went over to the top rope. Kamen Rider Evol got up, but then Zyuoh Eagle jumped off the top rope and took down Kamen Rider Evol with a missile dropkick. He then went over to his corner and tagged in Akaninger. Akaninger then went for the pin on Kamen Rider Evol without attacking him.
1...2...
Kamen Rider Evol kicked out, and then took down Akaninger with the Pandora Combo. He then tagged in Kamen Rider Killbas, who picked Akaninger up. Akaninger tried to fight back, but then Kamen Rider Killbas put him in an octopus hold. Akaninger was trying to escape, but couldn't. He decided to just submit.
The Blood Tribe win by submission.
Suddenly, as the Blood Tribe celebrated, Kamen Rider Evol threw Killbas over the top rope. Akaninger and Zyuoh Eagle then teamed up to throw Kamen Rider Evol over the top rope, but then after high-fiving, Zyuoh Eagle kicked Akaninger over the top rope. In a battle royal, it was every fighter for themselves.
3. PteraRanger vs Go-on Silver
PteraRanger was unsatisfied with the level of competition she was getting. She was the Gauntlet Women's Champion, but nobody was close to taking the Gauntlet Women's Championship from her. Go-on Silver, a former Gauntlet Women's Champion, had a chance to get another opportunity at the Gauntlet Women's Championship by defeating PteraRanger.
First, PteraRanger made her way to the ring, holding up the Gauntlet Women's Championship for everyone to see. She then made her way into the ring, waiting for her opponent.
Go-on Silver then made her entrance, being accompanied by Go-on Gold. Go-on Silver had a chance to become the Women's Champion again, all she needed to do was defeat PteraRanger, and then defeat her again at Future Fist.
The bell rang, and the match started. Go-on Silver charged at PteraRanger and took her down with a slingblade. She then climbed up to the top rope, and went for a shooting star press. However, PteraRanger rolled out of the way, and then went for a shooting star press of her own. Go-on Silver wasn't going to be outdone, so she threw PteraRanger off the top rope and went for the pin.
1...2...
PteraRanger then kicked out and took down Go-on Silver with a DDT. She then climbed up to the top rope and finished Go-on Silver off with the Pink Arrow. PteraRanger then went for the pin.
1...2...3!
PteraRanger wins by pinfall.
PteraRanger picked up the Gauntlet Women's Championship, having no challengers for Future Fist. Suddenly, Kuroninja's entrance music played.
"Kuroninja?" PteraRanger said. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to help you out," Kuroninja said. "You see, I noticed that there's no one to challenge you for the title at Future Fist."
"Yeah, so?" PteraRanger said.
"I have someone who will challenge you for the Gauntlet Women's Championship at Future Fist," Kuroninja said. "Presenting...Shinken Yellow!"
Shinken Yellow then made her entrance, before everyone left.
Kuroninja and Shinken Yellow then walked back, but then Ryu Commander stopped them. Ryu Commander asked why Kuroninja thought that Shinken Yellow deserved an opportunity at the Women's Championship, even though he has never seen her fighting skills. Kuroninja said that Shinken Yellow would prove herself next week in a mixed tag team match: Kuroninja and Shinken Yellow against Anti-Kuroninja and Shironinger.
Kuroninja then asked Ryu Commander why he didn't have a match at Future Fist. Ryu Commander said that Kuroninja was going to get a match at Future Fist, but it was going to be against a mystery opponent.
4. Mach Patrol vs Kamen Rider Dark Kiva and Kamen Rider Dark Ghost
This match was requested by the Underworld, who believed that they weren't getting any respect. The least active members, Kamen Rider Dark Kiva and Kamen Rider Dark Ghost, had a chance to get respect by defeating the team of DekaBreak and the challenger to the Rider-Division Championship at Future Fist, Kamen Rider Mach.
First, Kamen Rider Mach and DekaBreak, the Mach Patrol, made their entrance first. They were ready to fight, and Kamen Rider Mach needed practice for his upcoming match against Kamen Rider Orga, the Rider-Division Champion.
Next, Kamen Rider Dark Kiva and Kamen Rider Dark Ghost made their entrance, slowly walking to the ring.
The match then started with DekaBreak and Kamen Rider Dark Ghost in the ring. DekaBreak was trying to go for Kamen Rider Dark Ghost's arms, but Kamen Rider Dark Ghost knew about DekaBreak's technical style. He dodged DekaBreak's attacks and then hit DekaBreak in the face. Kamen Rider Dark Ghost then put DekaBreak into the tombstone piledriver position, but then DekaBreak got out of it. He then grabbed both of Kamen Rider Dark Ghost's arms and put Kamen Rider Dark Ghost into a triangle lock. Kamen Rider Dark Ghost was about to submit, but then he noticed the ropes next to him and escaped.
Kamen Rider Dark Ghost then tagged in Kamen Rider Dark Kiva, and the two of them began attacking DekaBreak. Kamen Rider Dark Kiva then began taunting Kamen Rider Mach, while at the same time, attacking DekaBreak with chops to the torso. DekaBreak then counterattacked one of the chops with a judo throw, and then he tagged in Kamen Rider Mach. Kamen Rider Mach rushed into the ring, dodging all of Dark Kiva's attacks before taking him down with a headscissors takedown. Kamen Rider Mach then went to the top rope, about to finish Dark Kiva off with a frog splash, but then Kamen Rider Orga appeared from the audience, jumped over the barricade, and then pushed Kamen Rider Mach off the top rope. Kamen Rider Dark Kiva then rolled Kamen Rider Mach up for the pin.
1...2...3!
Kamen Rider Dark Kiva and Kamen Rider Dark Ghost win by pinfall.
Kamen Rider Dark Kiva and Kamen Rider Dark Ghost then celebrated, having not won any matches in a while. They went to the back, as Kamen Rider Mach and Kamen Rider Orga started fighting.
Meanwhile, Zyuoh The World was talking to Ryu Commander, saying that what Dark Kiva and Dark Ghost did was an example of how powerful the Underworld was. He then talked about how some dinosaur-themed fighters, Tyrannoranger and the new team, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, were going to be at Future Fist. He then challenged all of them to a 5v5 match at the event, promising to send them to the Underworld.
5. MammothRanger vs Lupin X
Earlier, Kuroninja Gold demanded that MammothRanger, one of his faction members, be added to the 8-way elimination match to make it fairer. Ryu Commander said that MammothRanger could replace Lupin X if he defeated him. That match was happening now.
First, MammothRanger made his entrance. He was one of the members of the Golden Age, and Kuroninja Gold was planning on adding him to the All-Star Championship match to make it easier. Because MammothRanger was the powerhouse of the Golden Age faction, then plan was that he was going to eliminate all the other members, and then lay down so that Kuroninja Gold could defeat him to retain his All-Star Championship.
Lupin X then made his entrance. He needed to defeat MammothRanger, or else he would get replaced by him. Even though Lupin X had tough armour protecting him, MammothRanger was very powerful.
The bell rang, and MammothRanger started running toward Lupin X. However, Lupin X could take the punches from MammothRanger, due to having body armour. Lupin X then tried to roll MammothRanger up for the pin, but MammothRanger wasn't moving. He then decided to go for plan B. Lupin X started brawling with MammothRanger with everything he had got, and then put him into an armbar. MammothRanger was about to submit.
However, he didn't. MammothRanger got up, and picked Lupin X up. He then put him into a fireman's carry, and slammed him down. MammothRanger then charged up his finisher, and when LupinX got up, MammothRanger finished him off with the Mammoth Slam. He then went for the pin.
1...2...3!
MammothRanger wins by pinfall.
Because of this, MammothRanger could now replace Lupin X in the match. However, this also meant that MammothRanger could win the All-Star Championship, if he was the last fighter standing.
Meanwhile, backstage, Houou Soldier was holding his briefcase. He said that it doesn't matter who wins the Ultimate Championship match at Future Fist, because he's the one with the briefcase, which can be cashed in at any time.
Suddenly, Akuroninja and his followers showed up and confronted Houou Soldier. Houou Soldier said that he accepted all of their challenges, but he couldn't take on all of them at once, so DSR would have the honour of going first. Next week, it would be Houou Soldier vs DSR.
MAIN EVENT: Kamen Rider Zi-O, Kibaranger, and Dragonranger vs Gokai Red, Kamen Rider Geiz, and Kamen Rider Grease
This was the main event for this episode. 3 members of the Six Squad were going to face Gokai Red and 2 other fighters, in preparation for Dragonranger's match against Gokai Red for the All-Star Championship.
First, Dragonranger made his entrance, along with Kibaranger and Kamen Rider Zi-O. These 3 were members of the Six Squad, a faction led by Gokai Silver, who was going to be one of the participants in an 8-way elimination match for the All-Star Championship.
Gokai Red then made his entrance. He had the Gauntlet Ultimate Championship with him. Following him was Kamen Rider Grease, who brought his Trios Championship belt with him, and Kamen Rider Geiz, who was being accompanied by Kamen Rider Woz.
The match then began, with Dragonranger and Gokai Red in the ring. These 2 began fighting each other, and it looked like Dragonranger was winning. Because of this, Gokai Red backed off and tagged in Kamen Rider Geiz, and the two of them began attacking Dragonranger. Kamen Rider Geiz then took down Dragonranger with a clothesline, and then challenged Kamen Rider Zi-O. Dragonranger got up and tagged in Kamen Rider Zi-O, who charged at Kamen Rider Geiz. Kamen Rider Geiz then dodged the attack, and then took down Kamen Rider Zi-O with a codebreaker. He then tagged in Kamen Rider Grease, who suplexed Kamen Rider Zi-O, before going for the pin.
1...2...
Kamen Rider Zi-O kicked out and tagged in Dragonranger. Dragonranger took down Kamen Rider Grease with a Rock Bottom, and was about to go for another one, but then Kibaranger tagged himself in. He then picked Kamen Rider Grease up into a fireman's carry, and then dropped him. He then went for the pin on Kamen Rider Grease.
1...2...3!
Dragonranger, Kamen Rider Zi-O, and Kibaranger win by pinfall.
Since Kibaranger pinned one third of the Gauntlet Trios Champions, it meant that he and 2 others could challenge for that title. As for Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Geiz, they had a staredown in the middle of the ring, while outside, Dragonranger and Gokai Red were also having a staredown. Gokai Red was also holding up the Ultimate Championship in front of Dragonranger.
