and Burai in Zyuranger, as Masato, a young man who witnesses the Emperor's weak point with his sister Ayumi. Masato and Ayumi also appear in Kamen Rider World, linking the two movies. The narration was provided by Hironori Miyata, the narrator from Dairanger.　

The film was collected in the DVD release Super Sentai The Movie Vol. 4, it did not retain the 3D effect from the original theatrical release. The short was a precursor to the 1996 video release Chōriki Sentai Ohranger vs. Kakuranger, the Kakuranger team-up with Chōriki Sentai Ohranger, which started the Super Sentai V-Cinema Series. It will be included in the Super Sentai The Movie Blu-Ray box set with Toei Hero Daishugō. Both shorts will be in 3D for this release.

Heroes

The film features 25 heroes from the aforementioned Sentai teams. None of them appear out of costumes and only some of them are voiced by their original actors (namely all five members of Kakuranger, Ryū Ranger and Tenma Ranger from Dairanger, and Tyranno Ranger from Zyuranger). Only the initial members of each team appear in the film (thus Dragon Ranger from Zyuranger and Kiba Ranger from Dairanger are absent as a result). The crossover between the five teams is impossible to reconcile within the continuity of the original shows due to the endings of each series: the Hoshikawa siblings from Fiveman left Earth to search for their parents, Gai Yūki (Black Condor from Jetman) died after he was stabbed by a mugger, the Zyuranger team ascended into the heavens after defeating Dai Satan, and the Dairanger team lost their powers after defeating the Gohma Tribe (which were later inherited by their grandchildren 50 years later).

The main giant robots of each team also appear in this film: Five Robo from Fiveman, Jet Icarus from Jetman, Daizyuzin from Zyuranger, Dairen-oh from Dairanger, and Muteki Shogun from Kakuranger.
