## Synopsis

Determined to save the King and Queen from Dark RyuseiRanger before the aura consume him, Tsubaki fight against the powered up Gothic, who fights back with his own Saint Cards.

Despite the overwhelming odds, Tsubaki judges from Gothic's violin playing that there is still hope left, combining Tsubaki's power with RyuseiRangers' help to change Dark RyuseiRanger back to normal.

Enraged for breaking his Gladiator form, Gothic transforms into gigantic demon monster and attempt to destroy everyone in his hidden base, but MetaStar Robots briefly blocks the attacks, allowing them to combined into RyuseiOh. Gothic capture it with the black vines, taunting Tsubaki on how her desire to become the songwriter and known that her aura is unimproved that can put the universe in dangers. Agreed for Tsubaki's help, RyuseiOh defeats Gothic, but he barely survived from death with partly damaged body.

Blackgate and Thrash are very disappointed that Gothic is knocked out and Thrash convinces him to go as they begin to feel the tremors of the building from Scarve's anger. As Scarve attacks in anger, the RyuseiRangers and the others escapes back to the real world while Blackgate and Thrash takes Gothic back to the base to fix him.
