After defeating Radige in Stage 3, Nagi eagerly continued playing. The next level,
Stage 4
, took place in a
Sky Castle
, a majestic yet perilous environment. However, it wasn't long before he encountered a new enemy:
Grinam Winged
, floating Grinam that shot projectiles at him from above.
"Damn! Flying enemies are annoying!" Nagi muttered as he struggled to dodge their attacks. The difficulty spiked as the stage also featured
numerous pits
that could cause instant death if he wasn't careful. After multiple retries, he finally made it past the airborne menace and reached the
mini-boss
:
Grinam Angel
.
Unlike the smaller Grinam Winged, Grinam Angel was a
massive, hammer-wielding brute with wings
. It hovered menacingly before delivering powerful downward strikes with its colossal weapon. During the fight,
two elemental orbs
appeared, but Nagi decided to save them for the final boss. Surprisingly, the mini-boss turned out to be easier than the stage itself, and he quickly moved forward.
Then, he reached the
boss of Stage 4
: a regal woman in an ornate dress, wearing a
strange helmet
with a
shimmering diamond on her forehead
.
She spoke in text:
"Z-Man, so foolish. You think your little hero act can change the inevitable? Think again! Now, face the wrath of Reverse Dimension Empress Juuza!"
The battle began.
Empress Juuza
was no ordinary opponent—she possessed an
energy shield
that had to be destroyed before she could take damage. She wielded devastating attacks:
Flying Slash Attack
Diamond Beam from her forehead
Summoning Grinam mobs into the arena
"Damn, this is really hard!" Nagi groaned. He died
multiple times
, but he kept trying. After repeated attempts, he
finally
broke through her shield and defeated her human form.
However, as expected, she
transformed
, growing into a
gigantic demonic form
with horrifying features.
Nagi grinned.
"Time to Gattai!"
The
robot battle
against Empress Juuza was
extremely difficult
. Like
Kagami Jigen
, she could
reflect projectile attacks
when her shield was active. On top of that, she unleashed
illusion beams
that reversed the player's controller inputs, making movement chaotic and unpredictable.
Despite the challenges, Nagi managed to hold his own. After a fierce battle,
Guren Tsuyoijin unleashed JIGEN-GIRI
, its finishing move—but just as it was about to land, a cutscene triggered.
Empress Juuza
caught the attack with her bare hands!
The scene switched to the
Z-Man team
, all of them shocked.
"NANI!?"
appeared in text above them.
Juuza smirked.
"Foolish Z-Man!"
Then, in a flash of energy, she
teleported Z-Man to the Reverse Dimension!
The screen darkened, and a new prompt appeared:
Stage 4 Clear.
"Whoa! I didn't actually beat her!?" Nagi gasped.
Stage 5: The Reverse Dimension
This ominous stage was
shrouded in darkness
, filled with eerie
Grinam Reverse
, monstrous versions of normal Grinam but with
massive clawed hands
.
"These things are way more aggressive!" Nagi noted as he struggled against the relentless enemies.
The
mini-boss
,
Grinam Reverse General
, was even worse—an enormous version of Grinam Reverse, with
massive claws capable of dealing insane damage
.
Nagi fought desperately, using up both of his
elemental orbs
to unleash
Rocco no Ryuusei
, barely managing to defeat it.
"Oh my god, even the mid-boss was tough. And now my orbs are gone... Damn!" he sighed.
With no time to waste, he pressed on, eventually reaching the
final boss
—Empress Juuza, now fully adapted to the Reverse Dimension. Her text appeared:
"Foolish Z-Man, you couldn't defeat me in your own world. What makes you think you can win in mine?"
The fight began anew. The mechanics were similar to her previous form, except now:
She teleported frequently
She summoned Reverse Grinam instead of normal Grinam
"Oh my god, it's getting harder!" Nagi groaned. He retried
multiple times
before finally depleting her
base form's
health.
A cutscene triggered. The
Z-Man team and Guren Tsuyoijin were tattered
, barely standing.
Z-Yellow's text appeared:
"Red Hawk, what should we do!? We're trapped here, and we can't beat her!"
Z-Green responded:
"Don't panic, Rai Ninja! We need to stay calm!"
Z-Red made a bold decision:
"There's no other choice. We must use... Z-Gatherer!"
The Z-Man team
nodded
, placing their hands together. A surge of energy
overwhelmed them
, and they screamed in pain, but then...
They
teleported inside Guren Tsuyoijin
. The robot
shined with white aura
, beginning a
miraculous repair sequence.
Exhausted but determined, the Z-Man team regained control of their
Enhanced Guren Tsuyoijin!
The
second phase
of the final battle began.
Midway through the fight, Z-Blue's text appeared:
"We need to destroy her Core Armor with Z-Kouha, then finish her with Jigen-Giri!"
After depleting her health Nagi
unleashed Z-Kouha
, obliterating Juuza's
Core Armor
.
However she didn`t die and entered her second phase, she
became even more aggressive
, entering a final rage mode. Nagi fought desperately, guarding relentless attacks until he
depleted her health bar
.
A climactic
8-bit cutscene played
:
Z-Red, exhausted, shouted:
"Everyone! Put everything into one last Jigen-Giri!"
The Z-Man team
glowed with a blinding white aura
, pouring their remaining energy into their mecha swords. Guren Tsuyoijin's
Jigen-BA
charged up, glowing brighter than ever before.
"FINAL JIGEN-GIRI!"
The
massive energy blade
struck Empress Juuza, cutting through
dimensions themselves
.
She let out a final scream:
"NO! My dimension! My home! It shouldn't be like this! IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS! CURSE YOU, Z-MAN!!!"
Her form
disintegrated
, and the Reverse Dimension
collapsed into nothingness
.
The
Z-Man team barely escaped
, returning to their world. The screen displayed
Stage 5 Cleared!
The Ending
A cutscene played, showing
Z-Man enjoying a sunset
. The narrator spoke:
"Z-Man has finally defeated the Empress of the Reverse Dimension, restoring peace. But new threats will always emerge... And Z-Man will always be there to protect the Earth! Always shining brightly... Choujin Sentai Z-MAN!"
The credits rolled.
Nagi grinned ear to ear.
"That was awesome! Damn, I can't wait to replay it with different characters!"
As he prepared for another run, he noticed
five locked character slots
.
"Huh? Locked characters? More Sentai?"
One of the locked slots revealed a hint:
"Beat the game with all starting Sentai."
The others were marked as
"???"
.
Nagi smirked.
"This is gonna be fun."
He selected
New Game
, this time choosing
Z-Blue!
