### Summary

Jono Zoo forms a team to enter the annual Whirl Tide Dance Contest.

### Plot

Manriki Kudou, the grandfather of Raiga and Kuga and a highly-admired mechanic, receives a phone call while working at Orange Pit. The call is from Raiga, who requests he come to Jono Zoo to help them. Manriki heads there immediately.

Upon arriving at Jono Zoo, Manriki learns from Madoka that their team for the annual Whirl Tide Dance Contest is one member short. He's happy to join in, if it will help his grandsons. Jono Zoo, Steve in particular, is determined to win this year, after coming in second last year to the shopping district's team.

Then, Julia appears, a member of the shopping district team. There is an immediate animosity between her and Steve, which the twins pick up on. Madoka explains to them that Julia came from Brazil to cook sushi, and Steve tried her sushi and insulted it. Now, the two have become extremely competitive over the dance. Steve is aware, however, that he doesn't stand a chance against Julia, who has a background in samba dancing. Therefore, he decides to head to Ōnaruto Island, where the Whirl Tide Dance originated, to do special training.

Meanwhile, Dark Spinner is enjoying a new type of fish which Kakeru served for them. After being referred to as "Earthling" by them, Kakeru is annoyed, and asks that they call him by name. They agree, and in order to move on with refueling Gao Granner Saber, Chamber asks if Kakeru knows of anything nearby which spins. He doesn't, but Puff Puff informs the trio of the whirl tides at Ōnaruto Island, which should do the trick. Seeing this, Kakeru is reminded of when Rin used to do the Whirl Tide Dance as a child.

As Steve's ferry arrives at the Great Ōnaruto Bridge, Dark Spinner dives underwater to use the whirl tides and make a Mystery Circle.

While Raiga and Kuga practice dancing with Rin, they receive a call to launch to deal with the Dark Energy reaction. They combine with their Gao Granners right away, and head for the Great Ōnaruto Bridge. Realizing that Leo and Eagle are coming, Kakeru and Saber also combine, in order to stop them.

Realizing that they have to both rescue Steve's ferry, and deal with Saber Panther, the twins split their forces. Raiga and Leo keep Kakeru and Saber busy by engaging in a full throttle battle, and Kuga heads to the boat. However, while being spun around on the ferry, Steve finds that his body is moving on its own, the dance naturally coming to him.

Kuga succeeds in saving the ferry, but Raiga is still tasked with dealing with Saber, as Kuga dives underwater to get rid of the Mystery Circle. In order to handle this task, Bariki reveals the Torque Rock Tomica to him. With it, Earth Granner Leo Cheetah's defensive ability rises considerably. Saber Panther is unable to damage it, giving Raiga the upper hand in battle. Unfortunately, this form uses up Earth Energy too quickly, so they're forced to unequip.

While underwater, Kuga finds that Bariki left him a new Tomica as well, the Screw Wave Tomica. With this new power, he destroys the Mystery Circle and sends Dark Spinner flying away. With the source of Dark Energy removed, Saber Panther is weakened, so Kakeru decides to retreat again.

Afterwards, the dance competition commences, and Jono Zoo comes out victorious thanks to Steve's new abilities. Julia compliments him and accepts the loss, but plans to win next time. However, Steve annoys her by telling her she should go practice making sushi again, which causes them to start another fight.
