Ep 8. The Bakeneko's Shop!!

The episode titled "The Bakeneko's Shop!!" starts off with the Kakurangers trying to figure out the identity of a mysterious figure who has been lurking around their town. They soon discover that it is a bakeneko, a type of cat-like yokai (supernatural creature) that can transform into a human.

The bakeneko introduces itself as a struggling shop owner who is in need of their help. The Kakurangers are initially skeptical but decide to accompany the bakeneko to their shop, which is located in an abandoned building.

Once they arrive at the shop, the bakeneko explains that they have been struggling to make ends meet and are on the verge of closing down. The Kakurangers are sympathetic but become suspicious when they notice that the shop sells items that seem to be connected to their enemies, the Youkai.

As they investigate further, they discover that the bakeneko has made deals with several Youkai to supply them with weapons and other items in exchange for money. The Kakurangers confront the bakeneko about their dealings but the bakeneko insists that they have no other choice as they are struggling to keep their shop open.

Despite their misgivings, the Kakurangers decide to try and help the bakeneko by finding a way to boost their sales so that they no longer have to resort to dealing with the Youkai. They come up with a plan to advertise the shop and attract more customers by staging a fake robbery that the Kakurangers will pretend to stop.

The plan works and soon the bakeneko's shop becomes a popular destination in town. However, their success is short-lived as one of the Youkai they had been supplying weapons to, a spider-like creature called the Tsugomori, attacks the shop in retaliation for the bakeneko's betrayal.

The Kakurangers are forced to fight off the Tsugomori and its minions in order to protect the bakeneko and their shop. Through their teamwork and fighting skills, the Kakurangers are able to defeat the Tsugomori and save the day.

In the end, the bakeneko realizes the error of their ways and promises to turn over a new leaf, no longer resorting to dealing with the Youkai. The Kakurangers part ways with the grateful shop owner, happy to have made a new ally in their ongoing fight against evil.

Overall, "The Bakeneko's Shop!!" is an entertaining episode that showcases the Kakurangers' dedication to helping those in need, even if it means putting themselves in danger. The episode also offers a glimpse into the complex world of yokai and their relationships with humans, adding another layer of intrigue to the series.
