Act 13: The Heavy Cries

The Heavy Cries is the thirteenth episode of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.

Plot
Mako goes out to buy groceries for a meal she is cooking for the Shinkengers, while the guys fear what she will be cooking for dinner. While she is out, she finds several children crying due to creatures known as the Shiro-Oniko, created by the Ayakashi Nakinakite to replace them in their parents' eyes.She begins fighting Nakinakite as the other Shinkengers arrive to assist, only for the guys to end up with Nakinakite's Aka-Oniko latching on as they begin to weigh them down the longer they cry. The guys and Jii do their best to keep the Aka-Oniko happy while the girls go out to cheer up the crying children, until the injuries Mako receive from the fight take their toll. As Kotoha comforts Mako, their work with the children caused the Sanzu River to dry up as Nakinakite resurfaced to get them. Though the two were at a disadvantage against the Ayakashi by themselves, Shinken Pink and Shinken Yellow combine their Modikara to destroy Nakinakite, with his creations fading away. When Nakinakite resurrects as a giant, the group forms Shinkenoh before two Aka-Oniko latch onto them. With Shinken Blue's urging, the guys form DaiTenku and land on the back of Nakinakite, giving him a taste of his own medicine. While he is berated for having a bad idea, the girls in Shinkenoh finish off Nakinakite as DaiTenku flies off, dissolving the Aka-Oniko. After reuniting the children with their parents, Mako returns and finishes cooking everyone's dinner with help from the kuroko.
