Monk has finally gone too far with his pranks. The other Eto Rangers are ready to freaking kill him before they even get to the next Novel World. One of the Jyarei Four is happy to oblige. Hey, they didn't mean literally!

TVTropes on this obscure series:
"In this (arguably) Spiritual Successor to Kyatto Ninden Teyandee [Samurai Pizza Cats], life is peaceful for the citizens of the utopian country of Mugen. The country and its citizens are connected to Heaven by the Novel Pole, a gigantic totem pole composed of the "worlds" of the beloved stories, fairy tales, and other assorted classics of the human world; these stories are thus called "Novel Worlds." Suddenly, a threat appears - a mysterious and evil catwoman known as Nyanma scatters her minions, the Jyarei Monsters, to the Novel Worlds to corrupt them, which will eventually result in their destruction and thus the destruction of the Novel Pole, which, being the only thing holding the country of Mugen up above the ocean, would result in drowning all of Mugen beneath the sea. So Princess Aura, the de facto ruler of Mugen, enlists the aid of the Bakuretsu ETO Rangers, a team of 12 animal heroes corresponding to the 12 signs of the eastern zodiac. Using the flying machine Kirinda, our heroes must travel to the Novel Worlds, reveal the Jyarei Monsters and stop their corruption, and put an end to the threat of Nyanma."
