Synopsis
Set four years after Don Armage's defeat, the universe is now at peace, until Hammie from the Kyurangers suddenly steals the newly developed Neo Kyutama, and her fellow Kyuranger and Space Federation President Tsurugi Otori is forced to declare her a wanted criminal due the danger the Neo Kyutama poses should it fall into the wrong hands. Lucky and some of the Kyurangers refuse to believe Hammie became evil and contest Tsurugi's decision, causing a rift amidst the team that worsens when Space Sheriffs Geki Jumonji and Shu Karasuma intervene. Little they know that the events are masterminded by the Genmakuu organization, who has sent one of their top-member, Space Ninja Demost, who also revived Mele, Juzo Fuwa, Basco Ta Jolokia, and Escape to assist him in his plan.

Notes
- According to Space Squad writer Naruhisa Arakawa, Machineman from Seiun Kamen Machineman was his most wanted Toei Hero that he was planned to added in the sequel.[2] The character was left out of the sequel because of budget concerns.
- Of the three current Space Sheriffs, Kai Hyuga
/Sharivan is the only one not to appear. This is due to the retirement of his actor, Riki Miura
, from the entertainment industry.[3]
- Several English romanizations of the Metal Heroes' names were shown in this film for the first time:
- Space Wolf Juspion
- Jiban The Mobile Cop
- Janperson Fight For Justice
- Luka Millfy
appearing and getting into a scuffle with Raptor 283
is a reference to both characters being portrayed by M • A • O
.
- The cameo appearance of Ryouma Kagawa/Fire
in this film marks the first return of this character over 26 years after the final episode
of Solbrain
.
- Shou does not transform into Ryu Commander in this movie, and as such is the only Kyuranger not to be part of either side during the team's conflict, despite appearing transformed on the poster.
- This is the first feature length installment in the Space Squad franchise to not be written by Naruhisa Arakawa, instead being written by Kyuranger head writer Nobuhiro Mouri.
- When Geki says Space Squad needs to team up with a rescue force, there is a cut to Shu saying "Rescue?" This is a reference to Hiroaki Iwanaga, Shu's actor, who previously portrayed Captain Eiji Ishiguro/R5 in Tomica Hero Rescue Force in 2008.
- In an interview with Tom Constantine
, director Koichi Sakamoto
revealed that Kyuranger vs. Space Squad is regarded as "Episode 1.5" of Space Squad as opposed to Episode 2, which would come later.[4]
