Plot
Alpha 5 panics as lightning from the Kaiju Psycho Rangers continues to devastate the Command Center. Zordon, Goro Ibuki, and the Elias encourage him to have faith in the Kaiju Power Rangers as they use their newfound abilities to fight for all reality. The Kaiju Megazord holds its own against six antagonists at first, even reflecting Psycho Ranger King Ghidorah's lightning back at him with the King Caesar Shield, but Psycho Ranger Hedorah soon restrains it from behind. Meanwhile, the Green Godzilla Kaiju Zord continues to tear apart Astronema's space station as the White Ranger and Jet Jaguar race to reunite the stolen Power Coins with the many alternate-universe Power Rangers imprisoned somewhere aboard. When Astronema and Rita Repulsa catch up to them, backed by dozens of *Putty Patrollers. The White Ranger charges into battle while Jet Jaguar continues searching for the other Rangers.
As the Kaiju Psycho Rangers start to wear down the Kaiju Megazord, attacking from too many angles to defend against, the heroes decide to form the Kaiju Power Sword. Psycho Ranger SpaceGodzilla deflect their first strike with a force field, however, and the other villains appear unimpressed. Rita and Astronema, briefly working in tandem, overcome the White Ranger, but Jet Jaguar comes to his aid, backed by countless Power Rangers. Declaring in unison that the other is on her own, Rita and Astronema teleport away. The White Ranger shakes Jet Jaguar's hand before asking him to bring them home. The Green Godzilla Kaiju Zord arrives with a resounding impact, stomping a Kaiju Psycho Ranger into the ground. Zordon and the Elias call on the Kaiju Power Rangers to unleash their excess energies, allowing them to summon Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, Baragon, and King Caesar. Kaiju and Zords quickly overwhelm their opponents, with the Green Godzilla Kaiju Zord and Godzilla delivering the final blows with dual blasts of atomic breath. The siphoned energies of the Kaiju Psycho Rangers returned to whence the came as the villains are destroyed. Godzilla eyes the Kaiju Megazord, but Jet Jaguar sends the kaiju back to their original reality before he can pick a fight. The Power Rangers descends from their Zords and bask in the presence of so many other teams from across the multiverse, though the White Ranger cautions the Green Ranger that all sorts of unexpected threats might await them. The Elias and Zordon bestow the Kaiju Power Coins upon one of the alternate-universe teams whose Power Coins were drained by Rita, allowing them to continue protecting their own reality.
Traveling underground, Rita vents to Goldar that Power Rangers and kaiju are returning to their normal lives because she made the mistake of trusting Astronema. Still armed with the Multiversal Focus, she now plans to align with the Alliance of Ritas, alternate versions of herself who sit around a table with blackened gems floating in the center.
