This was made from space cockroaches. They drop the vials. The monster changes a dog, a cat and a pet fish into perfume. Oboro see this. The Hurricanger look for her and Kouta makes a dog noise on his face to track her. The man from before stops them. He gives them his business card, he's a detective. He pitfully asks them for money.

She is mad andKabuto shoots her. The four join together and she shoots at them. Sosuke tosses a small green ball at him. Before Red goes, sosuke tells him he put a tracking device on her. Isshu grabs him on his shoulder and demands to know what he is. He spouts that he is a great detective. He runs off and they follow. They end up at a factory. He lepas and flips on the roof and signals for them to follow. Oboro sees them on her screen and wonders who the stranger is. Mugensai has a hunch. They leaps over a wall and Yousuke leans on one wall that opens. The foe greets them. she blasts at them and Sosuke kicks her down. His mixing of English and Japanese has the ninjas think. Sosuke busts out with a green ball. As he cries out, "Tenku Shinobi Change!" Shurikenger introduces himself and shocks everyone watching. She blasts at him and he zaps her. The Goraijer change and Yousuke goes in the secret room and looks through the perfumes. He finally finds his friends. She zaps the room. The place shakes and then explodes, sending the others flying. Red comes out running with the perfumes. He blasts at her and opens the vials, returning the victims. The foe laughs as she has Blue and Yellow and burns them below, making them bubble. The four drop their weapons. The bottles burst, releasing their freinds. The foe burns them with fire. Shurikenger gets mad and goes to Fire Mode. He takes out a baseball and does a special attack towards her, knocking her out of the building. He follows and slashes her. She blasts at him and he is unharmed, as he spinned his bat weapon. He bats a gross of balls towards her. They disappear and reappear above her and this finishes her off. The others arrive. Satorakura cries to Wendinu and she pats him gently and makes the monster grow with his mask. Shurikenger calls for his mecha and jumps in and shoots her. He transforms it into a robot and fights her. The Hurricanger watch from below and run off to get their machines. The Goraijer want to join in too but Kabuto is way too weak. Senpuujin Harrier arrives to kick the villainess out of the way. They do they spin/ramp attack and Shurikenger calls for his bee. She is destroyed.
