Ryo, a simple restaurant worker, is brought in as one of five manipulators to become the Dairanger under Master Kaku to face the revival of the Gorma Tribe.

Angered by the Dairangers' lack of confidence in each other in dealing with the Key Jester, Master Kaku forces the team to learn a history lesson regarding the Gorma and the consequences of their failure.

Ryo becomes befuddled in trying to take down a powerful dojo destroyer while the Dairanger are forced to face a Gorma Minion who absorbs all their blows.
