The Japanese live-action special effects series, "Uchu Sentai Kyuranger (Space Squadron Nine Ranger)," returns this Sunday for its first episode in 2018. Could the good guys be harboring an enemy in their midst all this time?

Following the death of King Aslan (Gin'nojō Yamazaki) of the planet Kaien, his son, Lucky (Takumi Kizu), continues to face the villainous Don Armage (voiced by Atsuki Tani). Their actions, however, have also been increasing the resistance efforts all across the universe, as the famous interstellar artist Hoshi Minato (Hiroya Matsumoto) himself will reveal in the next episode.

According to the synopsis for episode 44, titled "Don Armage's Identity," it seems that hope may finally be returning to the universe after the most recent defeat and disappearance of Don Armage. But then, various planets in the Corvus system begin to explode one by one in rapid succession, and Lucky and the rest of the Kyuranger are sent to investigate.
