Meanwhile, Gaisorg appears before Rita with a ticket in his hand, and she allows him to participate in the tournament. While Takaharu and Kagura attempt to cheer Marvelous up, Stinger leaves to investigate on his own while Yamato is informed that his team's next fight will be a 3-on-3 match against the Gaorangers' Gao Red, the Ginamans' Ginga Green, and Sun Vulcan's Vul Shark, but he decides to fight them alone instead. Despite being outnumbered, Yamato wins, determined to win the tournament and fulfill the wish of a child friend of his who died without attaining his dream of running with animals in the wild.
