The story begins when a mysterious girl named Rita gathers heroes from Super Sentai teams to the planet Nemesis. The heroes are told that any wish they desire will come true if they can win the “Super Sentai Strongest Battle” tournament.

Once every 500 years, it is said that a universe-spanning paranormal phenomenon called the "Moebius Connect" will occur during the turning point of an era, and indeed the Heisei Era is seemingly ending in 2019――

The Super Sentai have gathered and the "Super Sentai Strongest Battle" will be held. The winner of this battle it is said can have their "wish" granted. Warriors, who have been summoned one after another, appear in the battlegrounds. The warriors of the 42 summoned Sentai were shuffled and split into five-man teams, such as the Vehicle Team and the Animal Team, and each team's opposition to one another in the Super Sentai Strongest Decisive Battle began. In order to have their wish fulfilled, in order to take the title of "strongest", an intense battle will unfold.

## Continuity and Placement

* Simply put, the series occurs after all previous series, specials and movies that have come before it, and right after *Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger*. The series makes small references to people who have met before. Yamato tells Takaharu to introduce themselves for the benefit of those who haven't met each other. They previously met in *Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai*. Everyone complies with Yamato, except for Captain Marvelous, who Yamato now has to introduce instead. The series also acknowledges Yamato and Marvelous's previous encounter in *Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger* through a direct flashback.
* The series introduces the Ryusoulgers into Super Sentai continuity, and occurs before the first episode of *Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger*.

## Notes

* This is the second time a Zyuohger directly meets and interacts with a Kyuranger, the first time was on the teams *Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero TaisenFile:Icon-crosswiki.png* with Amu meeting and interacting with Balance and Naga Ray.
	+ This will be followed by Misao Mondou teaming up with the full team on Lupinranger VS Patranger VS Kyuranger.
* The main villain being named **Rita,** the planet **Nemesis** being involved in the plot and **Dai-Satan** appearing in the final episode is likely a homage to *Mighty Morphin Power Rangers*, which had a main villain called Rita; Nemesis was the location where her Sentai Counterpart was sealed away prior to the events of *Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger*, the Sentai show where Dai-Satan was originally from.
* This marks the first televised appearance of Gokai Red Gold Mode, a form usually associated with Gokai Silver.
* This is the first appearance of an independent Hyper ToQ 5gou outside of stage shows; Kagura previously assumed the form alongside ToQ 3gou in *Ressha Sentai ToQger Station 30: The Birthday Celebration*. As such, ToQ 3gou is now the only one of the seven ToQgers to have never assumed the form on her own on-screen.
