Go! Go! Loser Ranger! season 2 episode 8 picked up from the ending of episode 7, with Usukubo leading both D and Hisui into the Monster Protection Society Headquarters. Although Hisui and D didn't think much about the visit, the actual chairman of the Monster Protection Society, Yakushi Usukubo, soon appeared for a talk.

While D initially didn't hold a high opinion of society, their understanding of the "monsters" as living beings with aspirations, dreams, and a right to live swayed D's opinion. Unfortunately, Yakushi's rambling about the monsters concluded with him painting them as "pitiful" creatures. He said they couldn't survive and break out of the Dragon Keepers' oppression if the other humans didn't lend a hand.

This single notion undid every bit of support D had gained for them. As Hisui and D tried to leave, Yakushi revealed how the entire thing was a setup meant to keep Hisui and D as hostages. The other members of the Monster Protection Society soon surrounded both Hisui and D.

Although Hisui claimed that she wouldn't hurt harmless civilians like them, all of the society members revealed that they had divine artifacts embedded in them and posed a threat.

Soon enough, a fight between Hisui and the members of society broke out, and Hisui easily gained the upper hand. Amidst all the commotion, D had somehow managed to take Yakushi himself hostage, essentially putting a pause on the altercation.

Unfortunately, a boss monster soon appeared and defeated Hisui while teleporting D and Yakushi to a different location. After being teleported, Yakushi attacks D, only to find out that he is a "fighter," one of the monsters that the society revered. Yakushi goes on to reveal that he had been a fan of the original Dragon Keeper TV show and had rooted for the monsters' side, revealing that he was essentially a monster fanboy.

Soon, Yakushi and D return to their original place, only to find a severely injured Hisui still being pummeled by the boss monsters. Using Yakushi's reverence for monsters, D cuts a deal with them to keep Hisui alive as a hostage while he himself joins the society.

These events then cascade into the Monster Protection Society, revealing the Dragon Keepers as a villainous group. This is because the still-unstable Red Keeper tore away Yakushi's arm while on air.

Sometime later, the Monster Protection Society reveals that they planned for every single human to turn into monsters as atonement. The episode ends with the reveal of the Monster Protection Society collaborating with Hwalipon to turn hundreds of humans into kaiju as the Dragon Keepers wait to launch a counterattack.

Final Thoughts
