He then tells him. Houka gets up. He tells them what their dad told him, that if one can muster their maximum courge, it can bring a miracle. But Kai believes if N.Ma defeated his father, then there's no use. He flinches at the thought of his dead body. Makito addrsses him, saying he wans't alone and brings up that he believed in him. Their dad thought he'd be able to create a miracle. Makito emphasises that this why he taught him this technique. Kai says Miracles aren't easy. Houka points out the flower growing in the baren wasteland. Even though this is a world ruled by evil, the world doesn't lose to the power of darkness. Potential is something you can create. She does her 'V' sign,' telling him to make a miracle. All his siblings nod to him. N.Ma smashes the flower with his foot and shoots them, the four siblings create a forcefield protecting Kai.

In a flashback, Dagon dropped Miyuki to the floor. Sphinx had entered, surprising Dagon. She had been revived by Vankyuria's immortality. Vankyuria went next to Miyuki and said she now serves Sphinx. Sphinx said they had lost many important people to them and she wanted him to know about courage. He didn't want to hear it. He seeked his true nightmare. He turned to attack but she blasted him with her cannon. He backed up, kneeled and die. Back in real time, Sphinx blasted N.Ma back. She then alerts Vankyuria of Bragel and Sungel.

Trivia

 * Magiel was played by the legendary Machiko Soga, who died four months later of pancreatic cancer, which she was diganoised with in 2005. The footage was used in "Mystic Force", with a backstory of Rita Replusa, while Magiel and Witch Bandora (Rita Replusa's original counterpart) are unrelated. "Mystic Force" producers did this in honor of her.
 * Hiroya Matsumoto and Yousuke Ichikawa reprised their roles as Tsubasa and Hikaru in "Boukenger vs. Super Sentai", in which Tsubasa was shown as a professional boxer. None of the other characters are mentioned.
