Hey all, I plan on opening part 3 with additional/added breakdowns of points you suggest on this comment, be it further explaining something I say here or in part 2, or wanting me to talk about something I may have missed. So let me know down below and I might address it!

One thing I really love about Gokaiger is that the cast’s chemistry and love for each other and their roles. The fact they returned together multiple times after their season ended, and each time it always feels like they never truly left and genuinely look so excited to be back in their characters. The video of the final episode where they wrapped up and they just got overwhelmed by the emotions still gets me.

The fact Gokaiger was filmed in the aftermath of 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami while some veterans of Super Sentai are appear more than just a cameo to show their unity of Japan and its people from the tragic calamity that befell them was so special.

Gokaiger is how they cemented what PR can't, it's legacy.

Why is Power Rangers so afraid of doing seasons like this when they can't move away the original MMPR show?

Gokaiger is definitely an Anniversary series done right.

I think their personalities are handled a lot better than you think they are. While Marvelous, Luka, and Joe might seem more selfish and brash at times, it's more of a result of their personality and they aren't as piratey and adverse to teamwork as they seem. However, even early on, they act more like Robin Hood style bandits rather than pirates. As Linkara called them "pirates ironically". This is even more so when you include the flashbacks. Despite Marvelous's personality, he frequently endangers himself and the Gokaigers as a whole to help people. He just doesn't openly admit it. One of the first things that Luka does is pawn off one of her pieces of jewelry so that the Gokaigers will have money to spend while they are on Earth. Joe's isn't revealed until later on though. Doc and Ahim are definitely the more conservative of the group and their passive personalities are what contributes to their feelings of worthlessness despite their contributions to the crew. They see physical strength as more valuable and that is what contributes to their feelings of inferiority. This is especially true of Ahim, who lacks practical skills in her flashbacks. The follow up specials also do add a lot more to Marvelous and Luka. A little to Joe and Ahim too, but I wouldn't say by much. But ultimately, there's a limit to what you can do when you're locked into 1 or 2 tribute episodes per set of Rangers. The tribute episodes are also meant to invoke the atmosphere of the episodes of the original series as well. This is why Carranger, the episodes Turbo are based on, are so ridiculous. Carranger was a parody of the Sentai series, essentially the Akibarangers and High School Rangers before they were a thing. This is why the Magiranger episodes, based on Mystic Force, are more about bravery and courage. Those were the things those shows were about. Arguably, where Super Megaforce failed is that they interchanged a lot of character stories in order to match the Sentai footage. Troy borrowed elements from Joe, but so did Noah. Gia and Emma also ended up splitting aspects of Luka and Ahim too. The result of this was much more inconsistent characterization. Combine that with the lack of moral lessons provided by the tribute episodes that Gokaiger had and you end up with far less development and why Super Megaforce as a whole was a messy failure.

i was obsessed with the captain and the whole team as a whole but CAPTAIN MARVELOUS WAS a hoss of a leader and he needed to be due to everyones personal characteristics.... i love love love this season

Why Saban thought combining Goseiger and Gokaiger into one team of Power Rangers was a good idea?

Megaforce is the complete stain of embarrassment and no one will live it down in the history of Power Rangers franchise. It botched up both Goseiger and Gokaiger at the same time in its own anniversary.

Gokaiger was originally intended to have cameos from past rangers who introduced new toy upgrades. Post earthquake, as others have noted, the series was re-tooled somewhat to include more Sentai alumni. As far as the Galactic police angle, you probably need to watch the Gavan vs Gokaiger movie as part of this.

Gokaiger is so good, I love the chemistry the actors had and they seem to really love their characters.

One thing I'd like to suggest about Marvelous, Joe, and Luka, is that I think it's important to remember the target audience. To the kind of children who loved Super Sentai, the value of calm, self-assured warrior types were probably self-evident. Whereas the important contributions Don and Ahim give are the sorts of things children might take for granted. Children don't always see the effort it takes for parents to provide them with good meals all the time, or the value of a good peacemaker. Kids largely don't pretend to be the uncertain guy being pushed around a lot, they pretend to be the swashbuckler cracking one-liners.

I hope you also catch the 10 year anniversary movie for this season. It was so good! Honestly this is my favorite sentai season. The call backs, the characters, the fight scenes, everything was just what you'd want for an anniversary. Its just a shame our version got ruined by various ruins. They could have easily adapted this one, but made it make sense within the Power Rangers universe. They even could have kept the characters as aliens - since we do have several alien planets, Terra Venture. Just combine two dissimilar seasons into one...ugh.. PLUS the actor for Megaforce...ugh. He would never have been able to truly be Cpt Marvelous. No one can be Cpt Marvelous. He's arguably one of the best Reds. PLUS HE'S GOT HE PIRATE COAT. C'mon! WE COULD HAVE HAD PIRATE OUTFITS FOR OUR RANGERS...

Always found it interesting how the Gokaigers match up with the Straw Hat pirates: Marvelous and Luffy are both strong and inspiring captains Joe and Zoro are both swordsmen Doc and Sanji are both cooks for the crew Luka and Nami are both obsessed with treasure Aime and Robin are both sophisticated yet powerful Gai and Usopp are both fanboys that prove themselves

I love the fact that I watched the last 6 episodes of this series over the weekend and here you go uploading this review on Sunday night!

gokaiger(jp) and rpm(us) are both my favorite season/show that are relatively "recent" from their respective franchises

I usually says that Decade had to crawl, so that Gokaiger could run. Then Zi-O tumbled and Zenkaiger fell flat on its face.

you see gokaiger worked bc ppl who were in super sentai series loved doing them and it was a great exp unfortunately its a very different case for power ranger actors

Fun fact about the series, Ahim actually meets the most sentai legends (probably because she and Joe and the only ones to meet GekiRed and GaoRed, and she and Luka are the only ones to meet GoPink). The only one she misses out on are the ones who only Gai meets… and MagiRed, which is funny considering how Ahim uses his powers just as much as Marvelous

Gokaiger was the 3rd SS series I ever watched and i think my favourite thing about it is while yes it leans heavily into the anniversary stuff you don't have to know about every sentai team to enjoy it although I definitely liked the series that extra bit more on my rewatch after knowing the teams that came before, but they did a good job for the most part of giving enough information about the team or single member that shows up that allows you to understand the episode and sometimes their powers a little more.

17:02 woah! I've never seen that (I'm guessing fanart). That looks cool.

Your review illuminates so much that I just wasn't aware of while watching it due to it being my first Sentai season. Love it

You can never top gokaiger and im glad most future seasons dont try. The stars aligned for this season and its almost perfect.

The Gokaigers really did make a show of it

Another great review. Gokaiger is the model for how to make a great anniversary show for a franchise.

Dekaranger was the first full sentai show I ever watched, so it holds a special place to me, but Gokaiger is such a great season. As sad as the circumstances were that made it what it was, they worked hard and made the show extra special.

7:19 It's official no matter what race, creed, nationality you are; becoming a Jasmine simp after being introduced to her character is inevitable. 😂

Also to be fair akaired is the most blatant example of having to watch previous seasons, since he has appeared in previous anniversery seasons.

Enjoyed this, looking forward to continuation. Hope you're having a good day

this is, and probably always will be, my favorite series!!! this is how you do anniversary series imo.

Interestingly, I had a dream about the Gokaigers last night without even watching the show (this is probably why I always have pronounced Ahim Ah-heem). Basically someone who joined the Gokaigers but left pre-series who turns the Planet into Breaking Bad: The Reality Series or something and Marv can't stop him for some reason

I think what made Gokaiger so iconic was that it was a celebration of Super Sentai. Having spend over 35 seasons worth of content, the creators wanted to do something that would honor its tremendous run. And with the amount of past sentai rangers who volunteered to be on the show, it tells that creators cared so much about its history. Super Megaforce, one the other hand felt like this was something that was just there for the sake of being there. It feels like it was a season that the creators had to create on the account that they would be adapting Gokaiger. It doesn’t feel like a grand celebration of Power Rangers like Forever Red, but rather something that just had to be done for the sake of being done. They didn’t understand what made Power Rangers so great in the first place and that is what lead to it’s downfall. So, long story shot, while Super Megaforce was a cop out to Power Rangers, Gokaiger was a celebration that honors Super Sentai.

Gokaiger was a great anniversary season. After the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, they used this as a way to cheer up said victims of the earthquake.

Gokaiger was my first full sentai series and man im glad i started with it

Dude i watched gokaiger all the way through and the joe finding out bizor was his loost friend, that hurt me emotionally

gokaiger is an anniversary done right.

Gokaiger is not my favourite season, that would be Boukenger. But It was the first one i watched all the way through after being thoroughly dissapointed in Super Crappyforce. And after learning a bit more about sentai and re-watching it, some episodes (the Liveman tribute especially) hit a lot harder and I loved it even more. The cast are amazing, the powers are cool, the story is well told. It's just all great.

A review of gokaizer, well let's make it showy!!!!

Just got through with my second round of using Gokaiger as a 100% effective gateway drug. First all my high school friends Now my boyfriend. It's super effective!

I can sum up megaforce/super in five words: Just. Watch. Goesiger. Then. Gokaiger.

I powered up my phone, saw the notification, and just said 'was that the Disney Brain?'

just a personal side note thought but I still say AkaRed could be adapted for Power Rangers as either a manifestation/embodiment of the Morphing Grid itself or remnants of Zordon's good energy reborn through the Morphing Grid

I've been waiting for this review for so long. Can you review Dekaranger after you're done with Gokaiger?

Looks like it's hard to Joe & Luka's actors to come back, Yuki Yamada busy with his drama & live action movies, and M.A.O with her voice acting career in lot of Anime

Lets just say they nailed it

Gokaiger is so awesome! Super Megaforce became a letdown adaptation to Gokaiger. I can't really blame them for trying their best effort

First Sentai i ever watched more specifically the movie Battle of the 199 since then I been watching every Sentai i could i have almost watched each one.

Clearly the adaptation is just as perfect and not completely TRASH right? 😅😬

Good video

I'm a fan of this season.

Gokaiger is my favorite sentai thus far

Basco criticizes Akared as someone who wanted to use the treasure for Earth since day one and that he wanted to use the treasure for themselves as a trio, Marvelous shuts him down out of a love he feels for Earth, not because Akared was morally questionable

Don't forget to watch thr others Gokaiger Movies and Specials

What power rangers super Force should have been in the power rangers final battle you can see some super Sentai rangers

I have a real question: WHERE can you watch this and all other Sentais? I can only find clips but not any full series here on KZfaq, and I am not wasting money on their DVDs.

Power rangers 2024

ugggghhhhh, GET ON WITH IT!!!

Courage is the theme of Magiranger

Still waiting for the Kamen rider decade video bro

Switching between angels and pirates in the US version? That's just so wrong.

Wait.... part 3?!

Don brothers when?

I get your view of the rangers but idk I'd you truly see it from the perspective of a Japanese television show in terms of writing and lore

Part 2

this is a nitpick, but its just something that bothered me enough that i needed to point it out lol, gorenger is often romanized with an E, but "renger" is still derived from "ranger" and is meant to pronounced the same, so its "go-ranger" and not "go-ren-grr"

YO

Hey man I don't hold it against you one piece is long there's lots of filler in there personally I played Minecraft while watching a lot of the earlier stuff

So megaforce done right

I've not watched this season in particular. I really only grew into sentai with Lupat. And then out of it again with the awful Ryusoulger. But I do attempt every series and hope you some day get around to Zenkaiger.

Make it power rangers super megaforce 21st series please love Mark

Where to watch

It’s jer dude😭 go-ren-JER not go-ren-gur 😭😭😭😭

anyone else bothered by Brain calling Marvelous "Marv"?

its not jellesto

The only words I heard were, "Not a One Piece fan". Just watch it. At the very least, read the manga. Don't just throw that out there and expect no one to say anything.

Junko Komura was involved in Gokaiger, one of the best Sentai. Both LuPat and Zyuohger were good but I don't know what happened to her in Zenkaiger. Zenkaiger in my opinion is the worst Sentai. It not only lacks character development but it also ruins Sentai continuity that had been established at that point.

Screw Super Megaforce
