Ep. 38: Scary! Nezirejia's Fiendish Squadron

Denji Sentai Megaranger, Episode 38

## Episode Guide

**Scary! Nezirejia's Fiendish Squadron** (戦慄! ネジレジアの凶悪戦隊, *Senritsu! Nejirejia no Kyōaku Sentai*?) is the thirty-eighth episode of *Denji Sentai Megaranger*. This is the opening episode of a six-part arc dealing with the Megaranger facing an evil Sentai squadron of Neziregia, the Jaden Sentai Neziranger.

## Synopsis

When Dr. Hinelar releases an evil Sentai squadron which destroys the Megaranger, Kubota is forced to investigate their connection to Dr. Samejima, his former friend and partner.

## Plot

When the Megaranger respond to another Nejirejia threat, they are shocked to see doppelgängers of themselves attacking civilians. Eventually, these copycats remove their disguises. These five new enemies are the Jaden Sentai Neziranger. The fiendish quintet puts place their hands on the Megarangers’ helmets and absorb their brainwave and attack patterms before Mega Silver scares them away.

The Nejiranger hone in on signals that match a Megaranger’s individual power, such as MegaPink’s cellular ability. If the Megarangers access their transformation, the Neziranger would immediately be alerted of their locations. However, a new handheld computer called the PDA, which has the same sound as the Megarangers' Degitaizers' alert signal causes the Nejiranger to Attack random people. In the meantime, Professor Kubota goes to meet with Dr. Hinelar or rather a projection of himself.

Yuusaku clones the Megarangers’ transformation signals, and he airs them from the inside of the Digitank. The Neziranger find the vehicle, and they realize that they were being tricked. This gives the Megarangers time to transform.

Eventually, both squads have a brawl. The Nejiranger uses its group technique Neji Energy Attack to severely weaken the Megaranger and nearly kill them. Luckily for the heroes, the Nejiranger are forcefully teleported back to the Nejirejia. Professor Kubota finally rushes to the aid of his warriors, all of whom are covered in severe wounds as they realize the Nejiranger are a very great threat that won't be easily beaten.
