Pika-Pika! My Path (1x47)

Date de diffusion: Jan 27, 2008

The truth is finally revealed; the Gen Jūken was a front by Long to use Rio, whose path he set up to bring about the end of the world. After Mere was taken, Rio loses his fighting spirit and runs off in a desperate state of mind on his purpose. At SCRTC, as they ask Xia Fu for the whereabouts of Rin Jū Hall to save Mere, Bae arrives to show them the way for Mere's sake as Long tortures her. While Jyan leaves to find Rio, the others head off to rescue Mere, with Gou and Ken facing Sanyo while Ran and Retu reach Mere before having to fight Long in vain. While this occurs, after words fail, Jyan manages to beat some sense into Rio to show him he's no pawn, giving him a path of his own and a true reason to fight, to stop Long's cruelty. The two arrive in time as Long was about to torture Mere some more, freeing her and Retu and Ran. After Rio and Mere finally express their feelings to each other, they force their Genki out of their bodies to Long's horror as he runs out to tell Sanyou to kill them all so they can start anew. While the others defeat Sanyo, Jyan and Rio battle Long together for all the wrongs he committed against them, combining their powers to deliver the deathblow. But Long reforms into a giant as the Gekirangers and their rivals form SaiDaiGeki RinTohja to seemingly destroy him. Soon after, with Rio and Mere having nowhere to go now, Jyan invites them to live at SCRTC, to Ran's and Retu's dismay. But by nightfall, Sanyo emerges with intent to get them for this before he suddenly starts to feel sick.
