Plot[]
Shaider is still trapped inside the hermetic chamber where he destroyed Kubilai's body. With no hope of getting out, he begins to run out of oxygen to breathe. Exploring the chamber, Shaider discovers a wall with a false bottom. Inside it is a motorcycle that the Warrior Shaider left.
Commander Qom, with no clues about Shaider, asks Annie to try to find him on Easter Island. Qom sends Marin to help Annie, but she has already been captured by Fuuma who tortures her with throwing knives.
Mysteriously, Shaider can hear his girlfriend's panicked cries and becomes distressed at still being trapped. Shaider has the idea of using the energy from his suit as fuel for the motorcycle and thus manages to destroy the chamber wall and flies towards the castle to the Fushigi Palace.
Priest Poe is about to execute Annie and Shaider appears to stop the fatal stabbing.
Shaider is summoned to face Kubilai, who appears in a large mecha suit. During the fight, the remaining Gang Girls offer their powers to Kubilai and transform into deadly butterflies.
Shaider audaciously discovers Kubilai's weak point, his third eye on his forehead, and hits him with the Laser Blade. For the last time, Shaider applies the Blue Flash to Kubilai and defeats the fiend.
Annie happily congratulates him for saving the galaxy. And Priest Poe says goodbye in monster form, lamenting that she no longer has the powers that her grandfather Kubilai gave her. Then the Fushigi Palace explodes as the heroes evacuate.
Commander Qom celebrates the end of Fuuma along with the other criminal organizations that were defeated by the Space Sheriffs. His assistants celebrate peace in the galaxy.
Shaider and Annie stop to watch the sunset on a rocky coast. Annie reveals that she is very sad because she no longer has a homeland. But Dai consoles her by offering Earth as a new home and promises to take her on a romantic honeymoon to see the world. She accepts and shakes Shaider's hand, ending the show.
