Just watched ep1, and Gokaiger surpassed expectations. Some thoughts and speculation:

1) For some reason, the 34 previous teams sacrificed their powers to destroy the enemy fleet instead of call out their mecha.

2) The Gokaigers start out with all of the ranger keys, so unlike Decade they will not be getting them one at a time. Where did the keys come from? Is it possible that they somehow were created from the powers the 34 previous teams sacrificed?

3) The robot parrot Navi is voiced by Yukari Tamura. It seems the last sentai she had been in was way back in Abaranger, but I don't know for what role.

4) Oiles Gil (voiced by Hirofumi Nojima, who previously voiced Cobraja from Heartcatch Precure) is the son of the Zangyak emperor, and is apparently a spoiled arrogant aristocrat. Damaras is obviously more composed and competent, and I will not be surprised if there is conflict or betrayal between these two.

5) Emperor Zangyak has not appeared yet. I guess he is either the final boss, or will get killed halfway through and Oiles Gil will ascend to the throne.

6) Excellent recreations of the Goranger suits, right down to the rounder oversized helmets and pinhole visors. That is, I'm assuming those are replicas, because there's no way 35-year-old costumes would be in such good condition. It's also nice that fighting style changed when they switched powers.

7) Yes, Captain Marvelous lives up to his name.

Dragon Ranger (from Zyuranger) and AbareKiller are also there, so it's safe to conclude that Gokaiger is as much an alternate universe as all the other series are from each other. Otherwise, the Magirangers would have easily soloed the entire invasion force with the infinite power they achieved in their finale.

watched ep 2.

dam i like they megazord (or whatever the called it in japan) it remind me for dekaranger (spd). so flexible and mobile compare to other which barely use their feet

Episode 2:


* Flashback: Marvelous got the chest of ranger keys from AkaRed, who saved his life and apparently sacrificed himself.
* Marvelous actually lets a kid transform into ShinkenRed and fight. The kid does surprisingly well against the Gormin grunts, but has no chance against the MotD.
* Dekaranger transformation to shoot down the MotD's missiles, Hurricanger transformation to attack melee, and then all-Red (Shinken, Magi, Gosei, Ginga, and Geki) final attack.
* Mech battle! GokaiOh's final attack "Gokai Starburst" is a chest cannon extending out and firing a volley of cannonballs!
* Kai Ozu (MagiRed) next episode.

I wanna understand something, did the English version PowerRangers come out first or was it the Japanese version first? I saw this long argument on 4chan where two guys were barking over which version came out and I got confused.

Super Sentai is the original source, so Power Rangers is always one year behind, except for Power Rangers Samurai being two years behind as an adaptation of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.

The first Super Sentai, Himitsu Sentai Goranger, came out in 1975. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers came out in 1993, and it took the concept and footage from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, which aired in 1992.

No matter how you look at it, the Japanese came up with the concept nearly a couple of decades before America even bothered to look at it.

Fun trivia: Saban was originally going to adapt the previous Super Sentai, Choujin Sentai Jetman as the Power Rangers.
