Fully recovered from his injuries, Gai intends to make up for lost time starting with cleaning the interior of the Gokai Galleon. While shopping for groceries, Gai, Luka, and Doc encounter Action Commander Zakyura who is under orders to eat up Earth's food supply. They transform to fight him, but he is too much for the three Gokaigers. Once the others arrive, all six Gokaigers transform into the Gaorangers to fight with Zakyura. But Gokai Silver's excitement of being back in action leaves him open to Zakyura's vomit counterattack, canceling his transformation and making him drop his Gokai Cellular. Zakyura then sucks back the food, eating the Gokai Cellular as well, before retreating. Feeling depressed over the loss of his transformation device and the fact that the Gokai Galleon cannot trace its location, Gai leaves to have some time to himself. While walking around town, he bumps into Ryo, the former leader of the Dairangers and now an owner of a Chinese restaurant. At the restaurant, Ryo tries to cheer Gai up with a serving of his specialty gy?za, but Gai tells him he can no longer consider himself a hero without his Gokai Cellular. The next day, the rest of the Gokai Galleon crew scramble to capture Zakyura when he resumes his mission, but he uses his teleportation ability to evade the pirates. When Gai learns of the events while meeting up with Ryo with a bazaar, he expresses his frustration as Ryo tells him that he has forgotten something important to him. But before Ryo can explain more, Zakyura and his troops invade the bazaar. Though he can not transform, Ryo fights off the Gormin as Gai realizes that he became a hero to protect people. The two manage to dispatch most of the Gormin, but are no match for the three Zugormin and Zakyura. The five Gokaigers arrive on the scene, using the Gekirangers' Geki Infusion attack to force Zakyura to cough up everything he has consumed, including the Gokai Cellular. Gai retrieves it and joins the Gokaigers as they change into the Dairangers and finish off the Gormin. Gokai Silver assumes Gold Mode to destroy the Zugormin and the Gokaigers use the Gokai Galleon Buster on Zakyura. When Zakyura and the Zugormin are revived and grown, Gokaioh and Goujyujin are summoned to battle them, but are overwhelmed. At Ryo's insistence, the Gokaigers use the Great Power of the Dairangers to execute the Gokai Goujyu Qi Power Bomber on the Zugormin. Gokaioh then summons Fuuraimaru to form Hurricane Gokaioh and execute the Gokai Fuurai Attack on Zakyura, who tries to eat the attack before it destroys him from the inside. Back at the bazaar, Ryo gives the crew a hearty serving of his gy?za while he tells Gai to never to forget the most important part of being a hero. The short lecture, however, causes Gai to miss out on the gy?za meal.
