Once again, there are MAJOR spoilers in this review, so read at your own risk!
After the monster encounter for Red, we find White trying to get her phone back from the mysterious girl from the arcade. As they round a corner, Tsue Tsue and some Orgettes are waiting for them up a flight of stairs. Tsue Tsue says, "I have you now, little kitten," and while White asks again for the phone the other girl grabs her and leads her away quickly. Next, we see the girls in school uniforms with White still being frustrated from the other girl keeping her phone away. Their escape from Tsue Tsue is short-lived, however, as she appears nearby with her army again. The girls run away, with Tsue Tsue following, but a staff flies out and trips her up. The scene changes to an indoor waterpark and the girls are now in swimsuits. White asks the girl what’s going on and she responds with a question, "Haven’t you ever done this before? Changing clothes, all women Rangers do it." White looks rather dumbfounded…

We cut from there to a montage of cut scenes from the various Sentai series, showing examples of how the women on the shows have disguised themselves or just looked different from their usual attire. Some of my favorites shown are from Bioman
(the girl on there, disguised as a cop, puts handcuffs on the General, Monster and his underling), Zyuranger’s Mei changing costumes repeatedly when fighting an enemy (turning into a nun and saying, "Repent to God", before changing into a wedding dress and grabbing something away from her enemy) and Kakuranger (a group of girls who fight injustice, similar to Sailor Moon), but there are a lot more than those. The narrator’s voice says, "But is that all women fighters do?" The mysterious girl tells her "Of course not" and then we go into more footage – this time of the various women in battle in their costumes. My favorites from this part are the two Jetman sequences (White Swan fighting the Fortune Telling monster and Blue Swallow fighting Maria) but again, there’s a lot of footage besides those. At the end of this sequence, the girl, Miku, who was Megapink in Megaranger (Power Rangers in Space), tells White that the woman of the group is just as important as everyone else and that she’s a must for the team. She also tells her that nothing good will come of worrying too much and then as they decide to go for a swim they’re stopped by laughter. They turn and see Tsue Tsue, who’s also changed her outfit, this time in almost a leopard or cheetah print swimsuit and her hair down long, wearing sunglasses. She tells them nothing good will come anyway and a group of other women stand next to her… the women start to crouch and put their hands to their heads as they change into Orgettes, who rush the girls in the pool (you can kind of tell that they shot this at least one other time… the Orgette costumes are wet before they even hit the water). The girls fend them off, though (including a nasty-looking hip bump against a rock) and run away, with Tsue Tsue chasing after them… however, she’s tripped up by a flying hat this time and goes splashing in the water. We cut to Red, who’s still fighting and won’t give up… he changes into his costume…
