## Synopsis

Tsubaki and the rest of the committee begin practicing for the collaborative Cultural Session. Mr. Shijima instructs them on the secret of the Cultural Session: to make their hearts one. With no clear understanding of what they are meant to do, they search for a solution using a variety of methods.

A first year student Nagisa Izayoi studies them with confusion and curiosity from afar. With persuasion, he agrees to draw the NagareFesta Poster Design cover art, as none of the members can draw well. Tsubaki and Izumi take notice of Nagisa's drawing talent and, but Nagisa fears losing to the other more skilled class members, agreeing to give it a chance after Thundar's encouragement.

In Nagisa's art studio, Chris Kurowaki, Nagisa's classmate, asks him if he actually wants to draw his manga with color and not only monochrome manga drawings. Nagisa brushes Chris off and confirms that he wants to continue drawing monochromatic manga and study abroad to become manga artist.

Meanwhile, Grind is disheartened after he failed to obtain Saint Cards and another Deathtroyer Trio member Blackgate got offered for his business.

Later, Nagisa meets Tsubaki in a garden disguised as a manga artist, when she reveals that she kept one of his colorful manga drawings he lost. Tsubaki tells Nagisa that she likes the manga drawing and can sense how happy he was when he drew it.

The next day, the NagareFesta is participates relay racing and Nagisa gratefully joins them to keep their streak going. Nagisa ends up being confronted by Blackgate who targets the manga instructor Togoro Arisugawa to transform his dream into Fukisokusha Gravity Beetcules. Tsubaki, Daisuke and Izumi appears, but Beetcules overpowers them while the King's words reach Nagisa. When Nagisa musters up his aura to stand up to Blackgate's way when it is about to kill them, he acquires his ability to transforms into Ryusei Yellow and cuts Beetcules' horn with Mosaic Boomerang, allowing for Tsubaki to defeat the Fukisokusha.

Soon, Scarve plays the tone of rampage that cause Beetcules to repaired and was enlarged in attempt to destroy Nagareboshi Academy. But, with Thundar joins Eros, Inferno and Ocean as one team, Telemachus and Eurycleia gives the RyuseiRangers the MetaStar and Combination Coords that help them to fight back them. They inserts the mecha coords that create the special weapon vehicles to fends off the DroneCores. Then Tsubaki inserts the SanKishi coord to combine the three robots into the giant machine: SanKishi! With this, SanKishi destroy Beetcules with Tenseiken's finishing attack: Ryusei Tenkouzen while gaining two new Sigma Coords.

After battle, Nagisa realizes that he truly wants to use colors and express himself. He thanks Tsubaki for her support and Thundar's brand, Glitter de Peace, was officially founded.
