Sick of everyone arguing over the movie instead of protecting the candy store, Kaito gives all of Gappori Company's money to Boochokkin, who gives Kaito and Nagare new Bank Registers, allowing them to transform into their hero suits. The enemy hero suits start using black money to recover their battle money, but thanks to the appearance of a sudden electric ball, Kaito and Nagare manage to beat their opponents, banishing the totem and returning the candy store to normal. After Boochokkin is dismayed to find that since he ate all of Gappori Company's funds, the movie can't be made, the boy who saved them, Sekito Sakurada, transfers into Kaito's class. | |||

Kaito becomes bewildered by the actions of Sekito, while Nagare notices he possesses his own Bank Register. The next day, as Kaito and the others accompany Ai to a supermarket opening, the market is suddenly attacked by another 'Tower of Seizure', bringing forth more Rampage Suits, Tick-A-Tack and Snap Shutter. As Kaito and Nagare struggle against their ability to stop time, they manage to use their abilities against each other and defeat them. Afterwards, Nagare confronts Sekito about who he is at school, but is seemingly crushed when he protects Kaito from a falling Tower of Seizure. | |||

After being helped by Sekito upon being knocked out by the barrier Tower of Seizure, Kaito learns from Hikari that Nagare was most likely converted into data and absorbed into the tower rather than crushed. Meanwhile, in the market district, a strange man named Ryuuga Tennouji attempts to buy out the fishmongers and cause dispute among their business partners. Isshin attempts to fight against him, but Ryuuga quickly defeats him before using another Tower of Seizure on the fish market to seize all of its property. Upon learning of the situation, Kaito confronts Ryuuga and his hero suit, Like the White Tiger, which proves to be too powerful for even Enter the Hero, forcing Sekito to rescue him. As Kaito laments not being able to beat Ryuuga, a man calling himself the cabinet prime minister suddenly emerges from his toilet. | |||
