Don't Let Them! The Twisted Invaders (ゆるすな! ねじれた侵略者 Yurusu na! Nejireta Shinryakusha) is the first episode of Denji Sentai Megaranger. It is the opening episode of the season and the opening of a two-part opening arc.
Synopsis[]
Kenta Date, a game-playing high schooler, is recruited alongside four other students to unexpectedly become the Megaranger due to the pre-emptive start of an invasion from the dimension of Neziregia.
Plot[]
INET (International Network of Excel-Science and Technology), using the fighting game Megaranger as a combat simulator, chose high school student Kenta Date to be one of its applicants. While the teenager was visiting INET, four other students from Kenta’s school passed security to view the organization’s building.
Suddenly, the Evil Electric Kingdom Neziregia launched a surprise attack. Professor Kubota was given no choice but to elect these five teenagers to be the Megaranger team. Using the Degitaizers, the quintet transformed into the Megaranger. Fighting and weaponry skills were all installed in their uniforms.
The new heroes confronted one of the invaders - Yugande. While MegaBlack, MegaBlue, MegaPink and MegaYellow dealt with the Kunekune, MegaRed fought Yugande on his own. He managed to scare the alien away with his Drill Saber, though.
As the monsters retreated, a bomb set by the Neziregia was detonated. An explosion engulfed INET’s base, forcing the Megaranger to board a spaceship called the MegaShuttle.
