 |
| BB Donpa is huge and attacking
the Carrangers. Dappu encourages them and they
call their Ranger Vehicles and form VR Robo. They
quickly do away with it. |
|
Kyousuke is enjoying his dream,
when his boss wakes him up and he does his ranger
stance and beats Souichirou up comically.
Souichirou hits him in the head with a small |
 |
|
 |
| garbage can. Natsumi, Minoru, and
Naoki are fixing a car. Youko runs down the
stairs as the man and Kyousuke have it out.
Souichirou goes down the stairs, he decides on
something and then goes back up again. |
|
Kyousuke rushes down the stairs.
He runs off. Angry, he walks through a park. He
talks about his driving technique and looks down
at the pond. Dappu comes along with a drink and
hamburger. He talks about |
 |
|
 |
| Speed King Max. He is the best
and considered the Speed King of Space. In a
flashback, Dappu was amongst fans celebrating
another victory. Dappu says in a |
|
race, the Speed King got to the
lead, but a bright light reached him. Suddenly,
he sees a vending machine in space and he blocks
his vision as he crashed into it. Kyousuke is |
 |
|
 |
| shocked by this
story. Tears run down Dappu's face, he hands
Kyousuke his junk food and walks away. In BB
Saloon in the Baribarian, Gynamo tries consulting
Zonnette to no avail. KK Esu is shining |
|
her Zonnecar for her. He is
considered the best dishwasher of the Bowzock. He
jumps inside her car, shines the keys and
accidently turns the car on. He then hits a lever
with her foot and the car shines in pink |
 |
|
 |
| light. It rushes away from her.
In Zonnette's room, Gynamo calls KK Esu a idiot.
Zonnette smashes a bottle on his head. The others
laugh at him. Back on Earth, Kyousuke is munching
on Dappu's burger when he sees a pink light race
by. |
|
KK Esu finally parks the car. He
moves the lever accidently again and the car goes
on a rampage. Kyousuke stands in the way and he
dodges the car. He calls the others about a
Bowzock attack and transforms. He follows KK Esu
on his Red Speeder. |
 |
|
 |
| He asks if he has his seat belt
on and other safety procautions. KK Esu manages
to take control of the car and speeds up. Red
missed his chance. As KK drives, he recieves
memories of the Speed King. Before he can assess
this, Zelmoda appears out of nowhere |
|
on top of his jar.
KK Esu crashes into a machine. Red Racer arrives
at the crash site. The others arrive but KK Esu
is gone. They walk to near the race car tracks
and find KK Esu there. He remembers who he was...
Speed King Max! This shocks everyone, |
 |
|
 |
| especially Dappu, who hears it as
he is washing dishes. He turns to look at the
monitor. Red tells the others about what Dappu
told him. Max explains his story, he woke up
injured and smoking. Zelmoda and |
|
Grotch found him. They were on a
smoky and volcanous landscape. Grotch sprayed him
with a device called the Forgetfulness Water Gun
that brainwashed him and defromed him into KK
Esu. Zelmoda |
 |
|
 |
| dropped the smock on him. He
became bent on washing since then. In present
time, Max takes off the smock and reveals his
true face. Red tells him about Dappu and they
shakes hands. Dappu has arrived and witnessed |
|
this. They are of course then
attacked by Zelmoda. Grotch is with him, and with
his Water Gun with him. He once again transformed
into KK Esu and he is ordered to fight the
Carranger. They try to stop him |
 |
|
 |
| but he throws them off with his
ear-piercing 'squeaky clean' hurricane. Red tries
but he is blown off too. He then blasts at them
with a red laser. Dappu comes up to him and tries
to reason with him. Tears run down his face. He
falls to his knees. Max comes around. |
|
Zelmoda jumps in the air to
strike Dappu but KK Esu stands in the way. He
became Max again and Dappu came to his aid. He
dies and Dappu shouts. Everyone goes to Max's
dead corpse. The Carranger say they will never
forgive him. They fight |
 |
|
 |
| Wumpers. Red fights Zelmoda. He
stabs him in the stomach but Zelmoda manages to
get it out and head butts Red in the stomach.
Zelmoda tries to head butt again but Red punches
him in the head twice, leaving him |
|
two huge 'chinchones' and pussed
up eyes. Grotch arrives with the Zonnecar and
Zelmoda runs up into it and they disappear. Red
comforts Dappu as they stand above Max's corpse.
RV Robo takes the Dappu |
 |
|
 |
| and the body. Max turns into
yellow light and then into his racecar. Inside
the cockpit, he bids farewell to the gang and
flies away into the sky. Dappu waves goodbye.
Later, the gang walk near the ocean and talk |
|
about Max. At Pegasus, Souichirou
fixes the car. The gang arrives and Kyousuke
tries to apologize... but doesn't really. The
others try to fend off Souichirou before he hits
Kyousuke with a wrench. |
Comments:
- The 'dream' in the beginning is just
footage from Episode 2.
- In "Power Rangers Turbo," when
Visceron was captured by Divatox, he had
no physical damage. In the sea cave where
Elgar and Porto find him, he was clearly
damaged but it wasn't explained. This was
because the Divatox scene was American
footage, while the other scene was
footage from this episode.
- In "Power Rangers Turbo," all
footage of the Zonnecar was not used.
