Samurai Sentai Shinkenger

Takeru Shiba, the 18th head of the Shiba Clan, must gather together his four retainers to become Shinkenger to face against the return of the Gedoushu and their leader, Dokoku Chimatsuri.

Takeru's new retainers show difficulties in adjusting to their new lives as Shinkenger as another Ayakashi attack forces them to learn the rules of their master.

Tired of both training and Takeru, Chiaki decides to return to his former life, only to discover the burden he bares in what he must do as a samurai when targeted by an Ayakashi.

Ryunosuke and Mako work together to watch over a boy who made a dubious deal with an Ayakashi over giving up his dream.

As the other Shinkenger relax, Takeru trains in increasing his Mojikara in order to use a beetle-themed Secret Disk, which becomes necessary against an Ayakashi their swords can't cut.

Chiaki becomes jealous of the abilities of Kotoha, particularly after revealing an immunity to an insulting Ayakashi.
