The actual stakes of the film are 100% borne by the Busters, and they're the only ones who resolve them? Weird!

But it also proves what Hiromu said to Marvelous earlier, that whether they're the official 36th Sentai or not, they will always show up when the world needs to be protected. When the Buddyroids are toasted, the Gokaigers see the distress and they're prepared to handle the rest of the fight on their own, but the Gobusters prove that's not necessary and that determination to fight to protect the world even when they're suffering is ultimately what earns their respect. If the Gokaigers had just bailed them out, it would've diminished the power of their spirit. Marvelous said it himself, they don't intend to protect the world, as it already has a Sentai for that mission, so them entrusting the Gobusters with the important part feels like that's exactly the point.
