Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger the Movie: Super Sentai’s Message from the Future (2017) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

The Ninningers mistook the Zyuohgers for evil Youkai. They believed the Zyuohgers were monsters threatening Earth, which prompted the attack. This misunderstanding was part of Gilmarda's plan to create conflict between the two Sentai teams.

Foreshadowing: Earlier scenes establish that the Ninningers have historically protected Earth from Youkai, making their suspicion understandable but misplaced.

Runrun was actually Gilmarda, an assassin hired by Naria. She disguised herself as an alien to infiltrate both teams and used special pollen to jam all nearby communications, preventing the teams from coordinating. Her goal was to sow distrust between the Zyuohgers and Ninningers so they would destroy each other.

Foreshadowing: Runrun's claim that the Zyuohgers betrayed her tribe sets up the central deception that drives the conflict.

Yoshiharu Igasaki came from the future to prevent the Zyuohgers and Ninningers from killing each other. If both teams destroyed each other, it would end the Super Sentai legacy entirely. His mission was to preserve the timeline and ensure the history of Super Sentai could continue.

The confrontation at the stadium appeared to result in both teams killing each other, but this was actually an illusion created by the Ninningers to test the others or manipulate the situation. Yoshiharu intervened and revealed that Runrun's deception had masked the truth, allowing the real sequence of events to emerge.

Foreshadowing: The tension at the stadium builds on the growing mistrust between teams throughout the film.

Misao was abducted by other Ninningers and restrained by Runrun using vines and a mask. The mask was placed in his mouth and used to speak with his voice, making it appear as if Misao was incriminating himself. This was designed to make the Ninningers believe Misao had betrayed them, deepening the internal conflict.

Foreshadowing: Earlier confusion about loyalties and Misao's mysterious disappearance set up this framing.

Foreshadowing: The arrival of Azald and Quval to help Gilmarda created a moment where the heroes were overwhelmed, necessitating outside help.

Gilmarda's goal was to destroy both the Zyuohgers and Ninningers by pitting them against each other. When her deception was exposed, she shed her disguise, summoned clones of past villains (Bangray, Jagged, Gengetsu Kibaoni, Raizo Gabi, and Masakage Tsugomori), and used Continue Medals to enlarge herself to colossal size, vowing to wipe out the planet.

Foreshadowing: Her earlier manipulations and disguise were all part of a larger scheme to eliminate the Sentai teams.

The Zyuohgers and Ninningers first fused into Wild Tousai Dodeka King and King Shurikenzin. When overwhelmed, they glimpsed memories of previous Red Sentai and were granted the combined power of all Super Sentai. This allowed them to forge Wild Tousai Shuriken King, the ultimate combined form capable of destroying Gilmarda.

Foreshadowing: The desperate situation against the enlarged Gilmarda created the need for unprecedented power.

After Yoshiharu returned to the future, Takaharu discovered his wife is pregnant, indicating he had just married.
