Dengeki Sentai Changeman: The Movie English sub
The Changeman must work with an earthquake institute to prevent Earth from being destroyed in a sea of fire by the Gozma. Shiima and Gator join Buuba and Space Beast Solider Kamira in an underground cavern, presenting him with an orb filled with stones they refer to as the Redon Ore.
Kamira places the orb into a reactor, which in turn drops the mineral into an open vat of magma. The beast rejoices as tremors begin. Kamira proudly reports that he’s finished with the last of the business on his end, while Buuba proudly declares that, providing they stick to plan, it should be the day they kill Changeman. Buuba turns to the time to take note as he officially announces the commencing of what he refers to as the Earth Fire Strategy.

3:00 AM: Bazuu approaches the Gozmard, checking on the status of the strategy. Guiluke obligingly informs him that all is underway, while Bazuu reveals that the process should take eleven hours.
His goal is for the alien rocks to have a negative reaction to the earth’s magma, turning Earth itself in a raging inferno. With orders to be certain Earth is conquered, Bazuu disappears. The Changeman are on a late patrol in the Change Cruiser as earthquakes begin, causing Dragon to swerve and miss trees as they fall over.
Meanwhile, seismologists at the Ootakayama National Earthquake Research Laboratory read the printout of data regarding the earthquakes. The chief one urgently takes note that the vibrations aren’t normal, that there’s no sign of volcanic eruption.

4:00 AM: Suspicious of what they know are unnatural earthquakes, the Changeman arrive to the Ootakayama earthquake lab for answers. Just then, Kamira arrives to the laboratory with Hidora, firing onto the seismologists a starfish-like object from its mouth, briefly turning everyone in the lab into overly large, starfish-like creatures as Kamira takes possession and retreats. Tsurugi and the others urgently rush into the room.
Stating they’re with the Earth Defense Force, Tsurugi approaches the chief seismologist for answers. Now simply a marionette of Kamira’s, Kamira force-feeds the answers, the man repeating Kamira’s lie that the earthquakes are simply a result of the Ootakayama volcano.

Just then, another vibration happens, knocking over those in the room. Sayaka accuses the man of lying, declaring to him that the violent vibrations aren’t just a sign of the volcano. Another scientist chimes in, saying it should be the last before the final eruption, as the chief scientist scrambles and confirms that the eruption will probably take place in ten hours, around two.
The man is in a panic as the tremors stop and he stands, ordering the five to leave, under the pretenses that he believes that they of the Earth Defense Force should go out and make sure that the people of the village will be certain to take over.

Nodding, Tsurugi and the others race out. Meanwhile, Kamira proudly reports to Buuba and Shiima that his plan to lead the Changeman away from the mountain succeeded, Buuba taking note that the plan’s going smoothly.
8:00 AM: Sayaka and the others are overseeing the residents of Ootake are sure to get away safely from the village, patrolling through the city and warning them of the dangers of the earthquakes and imminent volcanic eruption.
Parents burst through the rushing crowds, calling for their son, Yuuji, who runs from them. Tsurugi looks on as Yuuji makes his way to a train, boarding, and departing in the train, himself as conductor. The parents call out to the train as Tsurugi and Hayate race down the tracks to get closer, in attempt to call the boy, with no success. The parents collapse as Sayaka and Mai lean to them, asking what happened.

1:30 PM: As they call for Shuttlebase, Ibuki warns them of their dwindling time. It’s 1:45 as they’re delayed by Gozma Fighter Ships, while Land Changer attempts to blast the barrier sealing the cave.
Change Robo is built and Kamira defeated as they race against the clock, the time 1:58 PM. They bust into the cave, racing for the device as they’re restrained by the starfish creatures. With literally no time to struggle around with them, Griffen laments being unable to strike them (since they’re human), as Dragon decides to disorient them with Dengeki Flash, then diving towards the switches of the contraption and stopping it at…1:59:59. Dragon breathlessly rests upon realizing the close-call as Phoenix calls for him, noting that the starfish creatures are reverting back to their human selves.
