Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger DVD - SUB

TV Nihon recently released their sub of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger DVD called “Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Let's Do This Goldenly! Roughly! 36 Round Gokai Change!!.” If you want to see all Gokaichange to all 35 Red Rangers this is your chance to see it once more.

Insarn recently created a device to fusion to personalities together into one body and in an unfortunate event, it combined Marvelous and Gai into one body. With this, they can change into GokaiSilver and Red. But this takes out a lot of energy out of the two.

Gokaiger EP 1-2 Impressions

 Episode 1

I do feel a bit of nostalgia watching 34 past Super Sentai teams in true synergy on the advent of the 35th Super Sentai series - Gokaigers. I started watching Super Sentai series starting with Bioman and  we role play after the show, usually in my group of friends, I'm always Red One (ahem). Through the years, I was immersed to more super sentai teams and my fave so far was Maskman because of the drama involving Red Mask and Rio. I didn't even realize that it has been 35 years since. I'm almost as old as the series.

Anyways, Gokaiger's opening was epic, as all 1st episodes do. We were introduced to the characters namely Ahim (GokaiPink) the princess, Luka (GokaiYellow) the hot headed (but beautiful tomboy), Joe (GokaiBlue) the smooth, second-in-command, small talker, Doc/Don (GokaiGreen) the childish yet smart pirate and Captain Marvelous (GokaiRed) enough said.

Gokaiger Key - DX vs. Gachapon

 

The Gokaiger weapons and gadgets are selling hotcakes nowaday which I haven't seen before. The Gokaiger Mobirate is the most popular one because like Kamen Riders cards, memory or medals, there is a thrill in collecting keys. The keys look like past and present super sentai and with one flip, changes into keys where the Gokaigers can change into past sentai heroes and adapt their special abilities. But do you know the difference between the keys that came with the box from the candy toys?

Well candy toys or Gachapons come as three separate parts. Just like Kamen Rider OOO, it has the head, body and legs which interconnects together to form the Gokaiger key. Moreover, you have to place those stickers (like gachapon gaia memories) on to the key, these are mainly for the chest. The clincher is the sticker the Gachapon are less brighter or have a different shade or color just like the image below. Don't worry they still work perfectly on the Gokaiger mobile gadget.

Kamen Rider OOO/Super Sentai Gokaiger Mashup?

There is a rumor circulating that there will be a mashup or a cross over between Kamen Rider OOO and the Gokaigers. It hasn't been specified yet if it will be through the show or in a movie. The reason I said this is because of the viral videos posted on Youtube wherein one of the sounds in Gokaiger's Mobirates says 'Kamen Rider OOO'.

Weaponizing Gokaisilver and GokaiGold

After we revealed GokaiSilver and that Decade-looking form (probably more Diend-ish) its time to know GokaiSilver's weapons. First he has a three-phase Trident which converts into staff and gun mode. The first phase is pretty much a Trident that send volts of electricity to villains. The three sharp ends fold down to transform into the gun's handle and trigger. In GokaiGold mode, the trident's points connect together to form a sharp anchor which again sends lighting bolts. 

GokaiSilver's Weapons

Turning Gold

To transform GokaiSilver to Gold form he needs two things, one is a 6th or 7th ranger key and the GokaiGold key - which looks like an golden anchor. Below are the 6th rangers GokaiSilver can transform into. GokaiGold's chest reveals most of the past 6th ranger (which is kinda creepy) and it is shaped like a huge anchor, I think this is the whole motif for GokaiSilver/GokaiGold.

Goseiger and Gokaiger Passing the Torch

It has been a recent tradition of Red Rangers to pass on the torch (or handing over) to their successor. Now that GoseiRed has passed GokaiRed the responsibilities (so to speak) of a Red Ranger, lets take a look back and reminisce other Red Rangers who have done the same and lets all welcome Gokaigers! Gambatte.

Image of GokaiSilver leaked!

Wow that was fast. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger has yet to premier next week but we have a confirmed image of Gokaiger’s 6th ranger – Gokaisilver.

Gokaisilver transformation gadget is called GokaiCellular (hmmm just like past mobile phone henshin devices). His Ranger Key resembles a ship’s anchor, with one push of the button on top he becomes GokaiSilver. It is also confirmed that he will have most of the past 6th ranger abilities and identities. His weapon of choice is a spear called GokaiSpear which has a 3-step transformation. Just like other member of the Gokaigers, GokaiSilver enters a certain combination and inserts a Sixth Rangers Key to transform into the past 6th warrior.

Powers increased

GokaiSilver has an armoured mode called Gold Mode that is quite similar to Kamen Rider Decade or Diend fashioning all the faces or helmets of all Super Sentai sixth rangers namely GoseiKnight KibaRanger, BoukenSilver, DragonRanger, MegaSilver, KingRanger, Go-On Wings, ShinkenGold, Shurikenger, AbareKiller, MagiShine, GaoSilver, TimeFire, and DekaBreak. 

I’m guessing that this character will appear on the 15-17th episode just like the other past 6th Rangers. We’ll I might be wrong you know.

Sixth Gokaiger rumors and Legacy War movie info

According to sources, there will be a 80-minute version of the Super Sentai "Legacy War" and it is rumored to premier on May 21st.There are no additional info as of the moment as to how the Legacy War Movie will pan out (most likely like Decade). But I do hope that the movie will stay true to the Super Sentai history and not like Kamen Rider Decade which is based on an alternative universe (AU).

In other news, there is also a rumored detail on the 6th Gokaiger named GokaiSilver.

Taken from Henshin Grid and Ranger Boards' Dukemon22:

• GokaiSilver is the 6th Ranger, but can transform into Gokai Gold.
• He can transform with something called the GokaiCellular. His "Complete Form" is the GokaiGold. The GokaiCelluar comes with the GokaiSilver key, unknown if it will come with a GokaiGold Key.
• GokaiSpear is the GokaiSilver's weapon. He has a 3-step transformation, it comes with the Dragonranger key.
• GokaiSilver to GokaiGold Henshin Figure. Comes with GokaiGold transformation key.
• Sixth Ranger Weapons Set (Dragonranger's ZyuSouken and Go-On Wing's Rocket Booster, etc.)
• Joint Gattai Dekaranger Robo, MagiKing, ShinkenOh and Daizyujin (Zyuranger).

The details are highly plausible and likely that GokaiSilver will have the past 6th ranger abilities and powers. Though, as mentioned, that the details are just rumors, it is nice to ponder on this as I am excited too on the upcoming 35th Super Sentai installment. Thanks to Henshin Grid for the details.

Gokaiger and the Legacy War: Villains introduced

According to sources the title for the series is called Legacy War, the ingredients are similar to Kamen Rider Decade - the Kamen Rider War. All the past Sentai Warriors converge into one huge fight over evil. The main antagonists are introduced - Insan, Gil, Damaras and Barizag. Gokai-Oh is also introduced displaying a big canon on his chest as its main finisher. I'm so excited to see past rangers I hate and love for the past 35 years all in one showdown. Irashai Gokaigers. Gokaigers to premier on Febuary 13, 2011.

Gokaiger's Mecha Toys - Gattai, Gattai and more Gattai

It seems like scaled down past mechas toys of other past super sentai can now interlock with each other. Like for example below, Gaoking and Engine-Oh. Could this also happen in the Gokaiger series? Other merchandises in line with Gokaiger are keychains, Dice-oh cards, t-shirts, changers and many more.

Dice-Oh Cards...cool

Maybe, maybe not

On other news, the hope of seeing a cross over movie in the Gekijō-ban Kamen Rider OOO/Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger film may not push though. According to ANN, "Update: The Gekijō-ban Kamen Rider OOO/Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger film will be a double-billing and may not have a story cross-over between the two franchises". So cross your fingers and hope that Toei may change their mind and reconsider.

More info from ANN the upcoming movies:

A separate film, Tensō Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger Epic on Ginmaku, is opening in Japan this Saturday with the heroes from the 33rd and 34th Super Sentai entries. Anime and manga pioneer Shotaro Ishinomori launched the costumed hero franchise with Himitsu Sentai Goranger....

Toei will also mark the 40th anniversary of Ishinomori's live-action Kamen Rider franchise with two films this year. OOO - Den-O - All Riders Let's Go Kamen Rider will assemble the Kamen Rider characters from all the entries in the franchise on April 1. On August 6, the newest Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series will cross over in the Gekijō-ban Kamen Rider OOO/Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger film.
