The series premiered on March 5, 2023, joining Kamen Rider Geats and later, Kamen Rider Gotchard in the Super Hero Time lineup on TV Asahi following the finale of Avataro Sentai Donbrothers.

Plot

Two millennia ago on the planet Chikyu, a group of heroes joined forces to defeat and exile the Underground Empire Bugnarak to the planet's subterranean levels. Afterward, the heroes disbanded, five of them establishing the kingdoms of Shugoddam, Nkosopa, Ishabana, Gokkan, and Toufu, respectively. But a prophecy later spreads that the Bugnarak will return.

In the present, fifteen years after a catastrophe known as the Wrath of God, the current rulers attempt to forge an alliance as the Bugnarak, led by King Desnarak VIII, returns to annihilate humanity. But King Rcules Husty of Shugoddam plots on using the conflict to justify his agenda of unifying the kingdoms under his rule. A Shugoddam youth named Gira is disgusted by Rcules' callousness and steals his Ohger Calibur, the kings' symbol of authority, declaring himself an "evil king" who will destroy Rcules' reign. Branded a traitor despite being later revealed to be Rcules' missing younger brother, Gira forms an alliance the other rulers: President Yanma Gast of Nkosopa, Queen Hymeno Ran of Ishabana, Chief Justice Rita Kaniska of Gokkan, and Overlord Kaguragi Dybowski of Toufu to save their world from the Bugnarak and depose Rcules. They are eventually joined in their quest by the historian Jeramie Brasieri, revealed as the half-Bugnarak son of a forgotten sixth hero whose existence was erased from history for falling in love with a Bugnarak female, who fabricated the prophecy in a scheme to unite the two races. The six soon form a new alliance known as the "Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger". After Gira exposes the deposed Rcules and succeeds as Shugoddam’s king, he convinces Desnarak to reconcile with humanity once Jeramie learned his prophecy caused the current Bugnarak attack. But Desnarak is fatally wounded by his right hand Kamejim, revealed to be the true mastermind of the Human/Bugnarak conflict, with Jeramie establishing an official sixth kingdom of Chikyu for the Bugnarak to live in peace.

Two years later, the King-Ohgers face a new threat to their world when Kamejim's master, the Galactinsect King Dagded Dujardin arrives to force Chikyu to resume their war or be destroyed. But when Gira learn that Dagded convinced his ancestors to wage war against the Bugnarak with his minions responsible for the Wrath of God incident, his strong leadership allows the peoples of Chikyu to strengthen their fighting spirits and overcome Dagded's attempt to renew the Human/Bugnarak conflict. Dagded responds by sending the rulers to Earth, learning their ancestors migrated from there while helping the Kyoryugers defeat the revived Deboth Army. But in the rulers' absence, the Galactinsect has taken over Chikyu, and Dagded had installed a puppet ruler to carry out his will revealed to be a revived Rcules.
