Plot
At their next stop in the town of Tsukikawa, the ToQgers are ambushed by a group of Close the moment they step out of the Ressha, but are perplexed that they cannot find a Shadow Creep once they manage to subdue the Close. While the other ToQgers are searching for a dark presence, Kagura gets herself lost and follows Akira to the Hironoyu Sentō bathhouse where the owner is dealing with the loan shark Teruo Inzai, who is threatening to tear the establishment down if he is not paid by the following day. Joined by the other ToQgers, Akira and Kagura are allowed to have a bath in the establishment which inspires the group to help out. The ToQgers try their best to advertise the bathhouse, but Akira decides to add a discount to their advertisement, which dismays the group. However, the next day, just as Inzai is to repo the bathhouse, it is revealed that Kagura and Akira have used the Build Ressha to lift the whole building off of its foundation, revealing a mass of darkness beneath it. Inzai is forced to reveal himself as the Shadow Creep Coin Shadow, and explains his intention to force the Hironoyu Sentō out of business to build a new Shadow Line Terminal in its place. The ToQgers transform and fight Coin Shadow before ToQ 5gou and ToQ 6gou knock the Shadow Creep into the mass of darkness. Coin Shadow enlarges from absorbing the darkness, leading the ToQgers to use ToQ-Oh and Diesel-Oh to battle, before combining to form Cho ToQ-Oh Fire to destroy Coin Shadow as he gets dizzy from the darkness. After putting the bathhouse back in place, the owner grants Kagura and Akira's request for one last bath before they resume their journey

Why It Sucks
- The bath scenes are way too inappropriate for a kids' show, especially on Super Sentai standards. However, this can be justified as Japan's rules on what is allowed on kid's media is less strict.
