Super-Power
Task Force Ohranger: Ohre vs. Kakuranger movie:
Emperor Bacchus Wrath and
Prince Buldont have a contest to see who's monster can defeat Ohranger.
The emperor builds machine monster Bara Gear. The prince who has become
interested in the supernatural chooses an evil spirt, Piggyback Ghost
(Onbu-Obake). Since Ohranger are not experienced at fighting youkai,
Chief Counselor Miura calls in Ninja Task Force Kakuranger. The two
monsters eventually merge to become the giant monsters Piggyback-Gear
(Onbu-Gear).
This movie which came out after both series were over, could not happen. The Kakurangers sacrificed their henshin devices in their final episode so they should not appear in any movies after the series including this one. Also it has the Emperor (who died in Ohranger episode 34) and the young Prince (who grew up in Ohranger episode 41). It cannot take place before the Emperor's death because it has Ohblocker (introduced in Ohranger episode 34), Ganmaijin (introduced in Ohranger episode 37) and Tackleboy (introduced in Ohranger episode 36).
