The Rangers become concerned by the extent of the Sanzu River when water from the Sanzu River begins to seep into our world. Meanwhile, Arachnitor resurfaces and uses the water to prevent himself from drying out. At the Shiba House, Antonio works on the Black Box. After he completes it, he rushes to where the other Rangers are. The Rangers battle Arachnitor and Antonio finally makes it there. He informs Jayden and the others that he has finally unlocked the Black Box. Jayden uses this new power to access his Super Mode and defeat Arachnitor. Once Arachnitor grows into a mega monster, they use a new cannon to destroy Arachnitor.
A depressed Antonio sits in front of a lake when he gets a distress call from Jayden, stating they need his help. While the Rangers are fighting some Moogers, Antonio appears and he morphs. He pulls out the Barracuda Blade, and cringes in fear at the sight of it, seeing a fish in its place. After the Moogers are defeated the Rangers make sure Antonio is okay and Antonio reveals he's been afflicted with a debilitating fear of fish. Meanwhile at the Sanzu River a new villain, Serrator appears and offers help to Master Xandred in his plans and reveals that he was the one who sent Switchbeast to Master Xandred. Master Xandred is skeptical at first but when Serrator proves his loyalty to him he is accepted. Back at the Shiba House the team tries to help Antonio out with aversion therapy, Jayden is afraid of spiders, Mike is claustrophobic, and Mia is afraid of frogs. After that attempt fails, the Gap Sensor goes off and the Rangers rush into action. Antonio stays behind, and Mentor Ji shows him the LightZord, an ancient Zord that no Ranger has been able to master and Ji aks Antonio to see if he can unlock it. The Rangers deal with two Spitfangs before Serrator destroys the monsters and personally tests the Samurai rangers' fighting skills. Serrator effortlessly defeats the Rangers in battle. At the last second, Antonio arrives with the Lightzord to drive Serrator off before enlarging Lightzord to take out the Papyrox. Later on the Rangers ask Antonio how he got over his fear, he tells them and they laugh as it is shown that Mentor Ji had snuck up behind Antonio and stuffed a sushi in his mouth having him eat it.
