Minoru Ono is doing some ninja training, when Taro arrives with a package for him. Taro explains he tried reaching Mr. Ono’s house first, but his neighbors said to find him out at the training grounds. Mr. Ono excitedly opens his package, revealing a kusarigama inside. Taro tells him he can help if he needs it, to which Minoru wants him to help train in the way of the ninja by challenging Taro to a duel. Taro isn’t sure what he means as Minoru tries to throw the kusarigama at him. Taro effortlessly dodges as the chain falls the ground and using only his feet, disarms the kusarigama away from Minoru. Taro, once again brutal with his honesty, says it is fine to “play ninja” but one must not lose their tools. As he walks away, Minoru takes offense to Taro’s words and begins to get angry
Later, Minoru is still fuming over Taro’s comment about him “playing ninja”, vowing to get revenge on the Taro for insulting him and his ninja path of training. This desire causes Shurikenki's aura to emerge from Minoru’s body.
Elsewhere in the city, Taro is making his rounds and heads back to his van, only for a flying shuriken to be blocked from hitting Taro’s head by Taro using his clipboard. Minoru appears and declares Taro his enemy, promising to show the man who insulted “Ono School style ninpo” the full extent of his power. Minoru becomes Shurikenki, but Taro insults him again by saying that now Minoru just thinks he is a real ninja. Taro then Avatar Changes into Don Momotaro and the two fight.
During the battle, the three Donbrothers then appear on the battlefield, with Kiji Brother stepping on caltrops that Shurikenki threw without watching where he was walking. Don Momotaro says Shurikenki is only after him and he will be fine on his own. Haruka and Shinichi trust that their leader will be alright and deactivate their transformations to teleport back and check on Tsubasa.
While Haruka and Shinichi were gone, Don Momotaro is battling Shurikenki and the Anoni, but despite his efforts he is slipping up as Shurikenki manages to hit him with a thrown shuriken. Haruka and Shinichi return to the battle to assist Don Momotaro with the Anoni. The latter asks about Tsubasa, to which the two reassured him he is in good care. Shinichi recites a haiku about summer colds as he beats up the Anoni. But Haruka was knocked by Kiji Brother, as he stumbles in upon teleportation due to him spilling water from some stock that Shinichi left boiling in a pot before he and Haruka teleported into battle. She angrily tells him to watch where he is going and Shinichi uses him as a “pheasant shuriken”, tossing him to destroy the wave of Anoni heading towards them. Satisfied, the two decide to check on the stock they had left boiling as five minutes have passed. They demorph again and leave Don Momotaro alone in battle again.
As the battle goes on, Don Momotaro is getting a little tired as he takes more damage than usual. Shurikenki uses a clone technique and barrages Don Momotaro with multiple giant shuriken, which he evaded and blocks until one hits him and then Shurikenki tosses him into some barrels. Shinichi and Haruka teleport in and fires shots from their Donbrothers blasters long enough for Don Momotaro to get up, who guesses now he owes them for saving his life. The battle turns in Shurikenki’s favor as his attacks become more aggressive and his clones overwhelm the Ranger trio. Tsuyoshi teleports in, with his transformed helmet lodging the wash basin of salt on his head. Upon seeing the wash basin, Shinichi and Haruka find out that Tsuyoshi is Kiji Brother. Upon mentioning the wash basin aloud as they talk, Tsuyoshi figures out that Oni Sister and Saru Brother are Haruka and Shinchi.
During the fight, one of Shurikenki’s clones accidentally knocks over the salt Tsuyoshi is carrying on his head, which gets in the real Shurikenki’s eyes. Inu Brother appears and accidentally flying kicks Tsuyoshi when Shurikenki unintentionally ducked, causing the salt to go into the air and get in the eyes of all the clones and blind them. Haruka is thankful that their suits have sunglasses to protect them from the salt.
Tsubasa tries to lead the charge of his comrades, to the chagrin of Don Momotaro as they assume their Robotaro forms and make quick work to defeat Shurikenki’s clones and Don Robotaro defeats Shurikenki himself with the Avatar Photon Slash. Now freed from the Hitotsuki, Minoru wakes up at his training grounds, confused as to what happened.
TV STORY-
Don 11: The Dog Gets Sunstroke
As Mahouki
During Sonoi's and Taro's battle, Minoru Ono shows up and this time, he has a new hobby for the purpose of revenge against Taro: studying the occult and learning magic. His interest in the arcane arts combines with his desire for revenge turning him yet again into a Hitotsuki, Mahouki. Mahouki uses Magi Yellow’s thunder magic to blast Taro and the Donbrothers teleport in to keep the Hitotsuki and Don Murasame away from Taro. Things get worse when the Cat Jutos appear and attack in a large group. Taro encounters a Juto for the first time and his attacks have no effect on it. The others are also struggling to deal with the Juto, with Tsubasa once again fighting the Detective Sayama Juto.
Mahouki binds Taro with Magi Green’s earth magic, but Sonoi cuts him loose and the two stand in the center of the chaos ensuing around them. Sonoza and Sononi show up to drive back the Juto and the Donbrothers do so as well so Sonoi and Taro can have their duel.
Jiro gets annoyed with the chaos and willingly becomes Don Torabolt on his own, with Dangerous Jiro quickly defeating Mahouki. The Hitotsuki’s defeat sends out an explosion that knocks back the Juto.
Mahouki becomes Mahouking and Toradragonjin tries to deal with it on its own, but gets overwhelmed by his opponent using the spells of the Magirangers. Don Onitaijin appears to help, though Dangerous Jiro doesn’t want anything to do with Taro. Taro tells him to be quiet as he has a duel to get to, quickly executing the DonBros Paradise alongside Toradragonjin’s Jiro’s Hurricane to defeat Mahouking.
TV STORY-
Don 27: Duel for Real
As GoGoki and "Death"
After these two incidents, Minoru Ono has returned home to help out on his elderly mother’s farm by tending to the ponies. Mrs. Ono is happy her son has given up his crazy obsession for becoming a ninja warrior, enjoying lunch with him. While Minoru tries to be content with his life, he quickly has ninja related hallucinations and still desires to be one and get revenge on Taro for ruining his dream. This desire yet again turns him into a Hitotsuki, the Boukenger themed GoGoki.
As Don Momotaro and the two Noto generals are battling, Minoru shows up, determined to get revenge on Taro, transforming into GoGoki. Taro is a bit annoyed that he has to fight Minoru again and that Jiro is interfering with the fight. The Donbrothers teleport in immediately after and are stunned by all this chaos but quickly get GoGoKi and Don Torabolt outside so Taro can have his duel without any interruptions. Once Sonoi returns to fight Taro, Minoru intervenes once again to fight Taro. As Taro sees him, he prepares an attack to return him to normal, only for Sonoi to strike him down first, his attack "killing" him off instead. With his final breath, he apologizes to his mother for not controlling his ninja desires before "dying".

Revival
It is later revealed that Minoru is still alive. How he survived Sonoi's attack is currently unexplained.
[note 1]
When both Sononi and Sonoza had come across Minoru himself, they were surprised towards the fact that he had somehow survived Sonoi's attack as well as seeing that the aspiring ninja warrior is on the verge of transforming into, yet again, another Hitotsuki albeit this time, it is the Gingaman themed Seijuuki. As part of the Noto Trio's and the Donbrothers' plan of defeating Sonoshi, Sonoza himself had separated Minoru from the then premature Hitotsuki in question followed by the Noto himself harvesting it so that they could transplant the aforementioned Hitotsuki into Sonoshi themselves.

Tsuyoshi Kijino
at three (Four if one counts his stint as Kijinoki),
Tamaki
with two, and the rest with one.
Shurikenki:
Shurikenki's skin name is a reference to
Ninningers

Donbrothers
to be themed after a succeeding season rather than a preceding season.
The clones that are summoned by Ohsamaki are yellow, red, blue, and black in color respectively. With the main Ohsamaki himself being purple in color, this in turn results in the entire group of five having the same color scheme as the five main
King-Ohgers
.

The
production blog on Toei's
Donbrothers
site
provides two possible reasons for viewers to accept as they see fit: 1. Sonoi had used the power of DonMomotaro to defeat Minoru before, hence he was not completely eliminated. 2. Minoru himself had somehow survived his attack and escaped using mysterious ninja powers.
