After Navi reveals the five phantom Ranger Keys grant unlimited power to whoever possesses them, the Go-Busters receive a visit from Kaoru Shiba of the Shinkengers who brings them a scroll from Yoko that reveals she, Jay, and Gai ended up in 18th century Tokyo. Learning that Gokaigers are in different times in Europe and Gorisaki in Laurasia, the Go-Busters learn they can retrieve them by using GouZyu Drill’s time travel ability on their Megazords within a 45-minute time limit. As Masato gets the green Ranger Key ahead of Ahim and Doc in England 1805, Blue Buster battles Gokai Blue and Gokai Yellow in 1557 Mediterran for the blue Ranger Key before they suddenly attack Bacchus’s subordinate Waredonaier as he takes the blue ranger key. Confronting Captain Marvelous at the Dino Curry in 2005, taking their fight outside, Hiromu learns the Gokaigers sided with the Zangyack after their defeat to bide their time until they get the phantom Ranger Keys. However, Bacchus is on to the deception and steals the green Ranger Key from Masato, Ahim, and Doc once they returned to the present while his forces find the pink Ranger Key. Back in 18th century Tokyo, after they encounter Jerashid and get the yellow Ranger Key from him, Yoko’s group are found by the RH-03 after Usada retrieved Gorisaki. However, the RH-03 is attacked by Enter in Megazord Epsilon while Yoko’s group is attacked by the Zangyack with their allies coming to their aid.

Though it succeeds, it resulted with the Buddyroids’s anti-Metavirus program being damaged as they are rendered into mindless drones with no way of undoing the damage.

Though both giant battles are in the villains’ favor, the Go-Busters’ refusal to abandon their Buddyroids enable them to restore their partners’ personalities. As Go-Buster LiOh is formed, the Phantom Keys transform into Buddyroid-like forms that the Gokaigers realize is the Greater Power of the Go-Busters, representing the bond between them and their robotic friends, before the Ranger Keys transform into Megazord Keys. Using them, Go-Buster Ace, GokaiOh, Buster Hercules, Go-Buster LiOh, and GouZyuJin become Geki Tohja, DaiBouken, Magi King, Gao King, and Daizyujin, respectively, to fight not only Bacchus and Megazord Omega, but also the various Megazord models Enter summons. The fight ultimately ends with Bacchus’s death, and the destruction of both Megazord Omega and the Black Galleon. After the Gokaigers bid farewell to the Go-Busters to find another treasure, Marvelous commenting them to be a worthy Super Sentai team, the Buddyroids end up getting into another argument with their partners over what occurred while they were mindless.
