The final battle! Guren Dragotron kidnaps Isami and puts his master plan into action; can the combined might of the Shinobi and Samurai Teams stand up to the power of all five Legendiscs!?
Synopsis
[edit]Optimus Exprime has arrived to help the Swordbot Samurai Team battle Dragotron. The Predacon leader unleashes a laser attack, allowing Judora to grab Isami Tatewaki. Dragotron covers Judora and Gaidora as they retreat, before streaking off into the distance himself. Optimus throws his swords in the air and they join together, creating a shaft of light that points the way to where Dragotron is. The Swordbots combine into GoJinbu and follow the beam to Mount Fuji, where Optimus and the Swordbot Shinobi Team have already arrived. Isami and Tobio Fūma float unconscious in energy spheres, and the Autobots find they're unable to approach the two boys. Dragotron absorbs the pair into his body, along with the two Legendiscs each carries, and begins cyberforming Mount Fuji.
The Swordbots quickly realize they're helpless to attack Dragotron as they run the risk of harming their human companions, and Dragotron promptly attacks, knocking them all to the ground. As Dragotron powers up for a fatal attack, his power suddenly diminishes—as Optimus observes, Tobio and Isami have rejected his evil, and the two boys emerge from the Predacon's body. The two Swordbot teams remerge into GoGanoh and GoSensui, using their water abilities to bring the boys safely to the ground. Now free to strike back, the Autobots recombine into GoKenzan and GoGekisou, however even their traditional finishing attacks leave Dragotron without a scratch. The boys may have escaped him, but he still possesses all five legendiscs, and with their power he strikes down the Autobots. He then calls up the Four Oni, who are all ready to join in the fight, but to their surprise, Dragotron instead absorbs them, adding their power to his own.
Now a colossal size, Dragotron sends the Autobots flying. Our heroes believe this is it, but Tobio and Isami give them a stirring speech telling them not to give up. They suddenly glow with light and merge with their respective Swordbot teams, and Optimus observes that the two boys' burning spirit has copied the power of the legendiscs. Kenzan and Gekisoumaru combine with Optimus to form DaiKenzan! The Autobots exchange devastating attacks with Dragotron until finally the Predacon leader lays defeated and explodes. Mount Fuji reverts to its natural state, and the five legendiscs rain down from the air. DaiKenzan uses them to seal the Predacons away once more, and Tobio and Isami emerge from his breastplate to exchange a victorious high five, before announcing that they beat Dragotron because they worked together. The Autobots decombine, and announce that if the Predacons ever return, they'll be there to protect Earth.

Notes
[edit]- Because the series is split into two Chapters distributed through two different magazines, TakaraTomy needed to create a separate ending appropriate for each Chapter. Therefore, the final episodes for each Chapter are largely the same with the exception of the child kidnapped (Isami or Tobio), the Predacons present initially (Gaidora and Bakudora vs. Budora and Judora), and the final combined mode/attack used to defeat Guren Dragotron (DaiKenzan vs. DaiGekisou). This creates a bit of a minor continuity kerfuffle, in that there are then technically TWO continuities for Go!—one for each Chapter!
- Despite only Kenzan and Gekisoumaru combining with Optimus, the other members of their respective team also disappear, only reappearing after DaiKenzan decombines, implying that they were also somehow part of the merger.
