Airdate: 11/15/1996
Exhaust attacks BB Saloon, recapping the events that happened to his robot and Zelmoda. Gynoma explains it is being repaired.
Back on Earth, Dappu explains the situation to the five. Everyone puts their hands, excpept for Youko... who has a
magazine and shows them about . Everyone still has their hands in together but gape at Youko. She leaves
and they try leaving together. Back at BB Saloon, Groth explains going to the store Imocho where they get their enlarging
Imo-youkan
and it was closed. Grotch sneaked in. The owner complains to his wife that he is getting old and wants to
quit. Gynamo can't believe this, saying they need the imo-youkan he suppiles. Exhaus interupts. A blue
light flies into his hand and he
squeezes it and it lands on the bar of the BB Saloon.
It becomes a cream container. Everyone gaps and gather arounds it. Zonnette asks what it is. It is a youth
rejuvenating cream. PP Chiipuri lands on Earth and enters the Imocho store/house
scaring the wife. He applies the cream on the shop owner and smears it all over his face. The wife moves but
Chiipuri stops her. He takes off the cream mask and the man screams. The wife faints. Chiipuri gives him a mirror and he is
surprised to be young.
He had knocked down a picture of him and his wife when they were young, showing the same man. The shop owner
freaks out and exits in a rush. Meanwhile Youko reaches the location she wanted and it is the time to meet and bumps
into the shop
owner. She falls and he helps her up, she falls in love at first sight. She grabs him by the shoulders.
He talks to himself in a inner monologue. They talk. He makes a joke, they laugh. They introduces themselves.
She drags him around and they enjoy lunch and
the 'sights.' PP Chiipuri follows them. Imocho-san grabs Youko and tells her something about cake. Chiipuri comes into
the scene. He is angry at him. Youko grabs the shop owner to take him away from the fight but he tells him he will take
care of it
and fights Chiipuri. Chiipuri gets the upper hand and grabs the 'boy' by the neck.
Grotch comes in and reminds Chiipuri not to harm the shop owner because they need him. Chiipuri helps Imocho-san
up and he knocks the monster on Grotch. They both fall down.
Imocho-san thinks himself as a great fighter and fights both aliens. The Carranger then arrive.
Youko tells them to stop, that everything is okay. Green asks if he is her date. She nods yes. He checks if she
can see him by waving his hand over her eyes. She
only reacts when Red makes a joke and she elbows him. The monsters then disappear. Youko is thrilled. The
shop owner reunites with Youko. They hug. The others freak out. Then the owner's wife calls him out.
He freaks out. Youko is insulted and insults the
old woman. The wife explains she is married to the young man. All the Carranger are shocked.
She explains what happened and they all figure out he is the owner of the imo-youkan and that the Bowzock
are responsible for his change of look. Youko
turns him around, demanding an answer-- without speaking.
He confesses it is true. She then sees him as the Imocho store owner and pushes him away. Youko freaks and faints.
Blue tells the owner he will take care of it and they leave. In the park, the
four youn adults look over Youko and she is touched. She throws the warm wash cloth they put on her forehead
away and it hits Imocho-san. He grabs her by the shoulder and talks to her. His wife arrives and calls out to
her straying husband. She makes a
speech and starts crying. Youko knocks everyone out of the way and tends to the wife.
The man makes his excuses to the others.
The wife's tears fall on Youko's right hand. Naoki has the man sit. Chiipuri watches from behind a statue and flips
and lands in front of them, making his presence known. He shows them the cream. Youko is mad, the five chase after him.
Youko stops and turns to see the unhappy couple. She nods and leaves. She races passed her teammates and leads the
transformation call. They transform. Elsewhere, Signalman puts down a bottle in a trash can and
hears Chiipuri screaming. He tries to stop him. Chiipuri runs passed him. Signalman makes him stop wiht
something he says. Chiipuri is mad. The Carranger
arrive and Chiipuri blasts the cream on Signalman's face. It makes a pad on his face and he takes it off. When he does so,
he shrinks and becomes a child. Red Racer jumps and kicks Chiipuri down. He calls for the Wumpers and they fight
them. The
Racers present themselves as they fight the Wumpers. The theme song plays with a Japanese woman singing in
English. Chiipuri then fights Pink. She knocks him down. He turns the cap of his cream and Pink wags her finger 'no.'
She leaps in the
air, which is repeated multiple times. He shoots the cream out of his container.
She conducts an attack, with a tire appearing behind her. Chiipuri backs up, shocked. She shoots her gun at him and
he falls down. She points it again at Chiipuri but
Norishiron 12 arrives. They form VRV Robo and fight the blue robot. He blasts them with its horns and it makes
building explode and citizens run. Imocho's wife falls down and he spots this and comes to her aid.
She dropped
imo-youkan and he tells her to
forget about it. She says it is important. He lowers down and grabs it. They are then attacked by the blasts from Norishiron 12. Grotch arrives and
grabs the imo-youkan
from the floor and forces feeds it to Chiipuri. He kicks VRV Robo down.
They are then blasted by Sirender, Signalman has trouble piloting it because he is short. VRV Robo beats Chiipuri
up and he brings out his
cream and it squeezed on Noshishiron 12. It becomes its original form, a cardboard.
Zelmoda falls out, joining Grotch and it then
explodes. VRV Robo punches Chiipuri down and destroys it. Among the smoke,
Signalman becomes normal. The smoke goes
in front of the shop owner and he
becomes normal. He grabs his wife's hand
and they join their imo-youkan.
The Carranger
arrive and Pink nods.
At the shop,
there is a big line and the un-transformed team are at the end of the line. They are happy. They go to the owners and
wave to them. Imocho waves at them tentatively. He looks at his wife and they exchange smiles.
Comments:
In "Power Rangers Turbo," the shrunken Signalman footage was changed.
In "Power Rangers Turbo," instead of making anything it hit become younger, the cream
made stuff turn into animals, so the giant blue robot became a camel instead of exploding.
Imo-Youkan are yellow cube-shaped foods made from jellied sweet potatoes.
