The Rainbow Line makes an abrupt stop at a river, requiring the use of the Car Carrier Ressha to cross, but their Imagination is not enough to power it. As the other ToQgers try to come up with a way to cross, Bucket Shadow starts to collect darkness by making people feel hungry via eating every scrap of food from them.

Right managed to find one of the missing Support Ressha while out in the woods, so he and Tokatti go out to find it. However, General Schwarz has been spying on the ToQgers and heads out to capture the Support Ressha for the Shadow Line.

In the next Shadow Town, the ToQgers come across various fictional characters, with Tokatti's favorite childhood superhero Ryo Knight appearing before him to encourage him, but all is not as it seems.

At the next stop, the ToQgers are perplexed to find Kuros but no Shadow Kaijin. However, Kagura and Akira discover that something odd is happening at the local public bath.

With their memories back, Right and Hikari must use their training in karate from Right's grandfather to defeat a Shadow Monster who has turned the people around the next Dark Station into his fighters, rather than Kuros.

While trying to battle Billiard Shadow, Mio is accosted by a man who has fallen in love with her. To avoid the man's affections, Mio says that Akira is her boyfriend, but this does not go down well with Tokatti.

With Christmas approaching, Imagination begins to run wild which makes the Shadow Line weaker. Right, however, realizes Akira is missing, while General Schwarz plans an offensive against Emperor Z and various defeated Shadow Creeps suddenly revive one after another.

Akira, as Zaram, joins General Schwarz in his assault on Castle Terminal, but someone else gets the AppliChanger and attacks the ToQgers as ToQ 6gou.

Subarugahama is discovered to be kept under the Castle Terminal, leading the ToQgers to attempt an assault on the castle in order to free their hometown.

Akira stops Right from taking on Emperor Z as Dark ToQ 1gou on his own as he fears for his safety and promises to fight by Right's side. Elsewhere, the other ToQgers, as children once more, go to their secret base and find something completely unexpected.

The massive monster’s darkness has engulfed Right, the other ToQgers on the Resshas and the whole city. Right cannot face Zed even using the darkness and he is unable to imagine himself being victorious. Just when he has run out of options, the other ToQgers appear to save him. Then, among the darkness they can see the lights of the lamps for the Star Festival.
