## Synopsis

Chisato and Miku get into an argument over a trifle matter while NeziYellow and NeziPink challenge each other in finishing off their respective Megaranger.

## Plot

At Moroboshi High School, Miku was waiting for Chisato. Then, Erina and Maki rushed in and persuaded Miku to go for bargain sale. Miku initially refused because she was appointed to help Chisato taking the graduation album pictures, and she could be the album's model. However, the student from Yudo club told Miku that Chisato canceled the meeting due to some urgent work. As a result, Erina and Maki quickly brought dazed Miku for the bargain sale. After finished the shopping task, the trio tried to go for the ice-cream shop but Miku saw Chisato had a one-on-one lunch with Shun which greatly grieved her so that she run away. On the next day, distressed Miku was angry at Chisato as she thought that Chisato tried to take Shun from her. Chisato tried to explain but was useless. Therefore, Chisato and Miku became estranged.

Meanwhile, NeziYellow and NeziPink had the same unfriendly situation as they argued over who had the superior skill. As a result, permitted by Dr.Hinelar, they made a challenge to remove the mask of Megaranger matched with their respective color. By the way, Kouichirou had tried to be the glue for Megaranger's girls but was unsuccessful. Then, Professor Kubota notified them for Nezirezia attack so everyone had to reach to the scene. While Megarangers had a fight against Kunekunes, NeziPink suddenly struck at MegaPink in order to remove her mask, so MegaYellow and MegaBlue intervened to help MegaPink but NeziPink struck them back. However, as MegaPink saw MegaBlue covered himself to protect MegaYellow from NeziPink's attack, MegaPink rethought about Chisato and Shun's lunch again so that after she was harmed, she obviously refused the help from that duo.

During NeziPink attack against MegaYellow and MegaBlue, MegaYellow saw a little girl who tried to run for her. When NeziPink blasted the energy to that child, MegaYellow quickly rushed to her. Unfortunately, the little girl was actually NeziYellow in disguise. NeziYellow had suddenly created a special handcuff on MegaYellow before taking her away while taunting NeziPink's mediocre tactic to win the challenge. Meanwhile, MegaPink who saw MegaYellow's situation tried to save her but was too late, thus leaving MegaPink in depression. Afterwards, NeziPink tried to continue her attack against MegaPink but MegaRed fought back with Riser Chop and Riser Punch so that she had to retreat.

Due to MegaYellow being abducted, Professor Kubota ordered INET team to find her signal relentlessly which was unsuccessful due to the jamming wave emitter from her special handcuff. At the same time, Miku greatly dissolved into tears and blamed herself for her argument with Chisato which leaded to MegaYellow abduction. Later, Shun explained to Miku what happened before he had a lunch with Chisato. As Chisato helped Shun for his urgent work, she requested him to create the important picture for her, which was the photo of Chisato and Miku when they met for the first time. Shun also calmed down Miku so that she understood everything and felt sorry to Chisato for her unreasonable action.

By the way, when NeziYellow tried to remove MegaYellow's mask. NeziPink stepped in and showed her disappointment on NeziYellow's tactic. As both Neziranger disputed, MegaYellow used that golden time to escape and go to the abandoned factory. At the moment, MegaYellow showed her care on Miku as she tried to survive so that she was not be used as NeziPink's bait to lure out MegaPink according to NeziPink's plan. Later, NeziYellow could find MegaYellow first, but was stopped by NeziPink before she could do anything. During the fight between NeziYellow and NeziPink, MegaYellow decided to risk her life by jumping after the dangerous substances and taunted NeziPink to destroy it. As NeziPink blasted her power to explode those substances, all of them bounced off the factory. Fortunately for MegaYellow, the explosion destroyed the jamming wave emitter on her handcuff so that INET could find her now.

Even if NeziYellow retreated, NeziPink continued to attack MegaYellow until MegaPink came just in time to save her and reconciled their friendship. After MegaBlue cut off MegaYellow's handcuff, MegaYellow and MegaPink teamed up to fight NeziPink before defeating her with MegaPink's Capture Sniper and MegaYellow's Blade Arm. Then, NeziPink revealed her true form and increased her size as Nezi Jealous so that MegaPink called Mega Voyager. Nezi Jealous had overpowered Mega Voyager before MegaSilver helped Megarangers with Mega Winger. However, because Nezi Jealous had much power than previous Nezi monsters, MegaSilver suggested Megarangers to maximize the energy of Winger Spartan which was done by MegaPink. After launching the maximum energy of Winger Spartan, it could destroy Nezi Jealous for good.

Back at Moroboshi High School, Chisato and Miku met again as Chisato wanted Miku to help her during the photoshoot of graduation album. However, both girls argued again because Chisato just only wanted Miku to carry her photographic tools, not became the album's model as Miku first thought. As a result, Kenta rushed in and said cheese so both girls promptly smiled in front of his frame hand sign.
