Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger/Recap/Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


During the Legend War the Goseigers and Gosei Knight are overwhelmed by the Zangyack's first invasion force until they are saved by the Gorangers' Akaranger and J.A.K.Q.'s Big One and are told that all Sentai teams are gathering. With the Sentai supporting warriors giving them safe passage, the Goseigers meet up with the other 33 Super Sentai and the teams proceed to battle the numerous Gormin and Zugormin. The battle reaches its end when Akaranger tells everyone to join their powers together so their combined powers can wipe out the armada. Having survived, the Gosei Angels learn that they and other Super Sentai have lost their powers, which have dispersed all over the universe. Alata believes they still can protect the planet without their powers as the teams go their separate ways.

However, a new Zangyack invasion appears a year later. Luckily, having witnessed the battle from space, Aka Red managed to gather the Ranger Keys, the Super Sentai's sealed power, leading to the formation of the Gokaigers who use the Ranger Keys as part of their arsenal in their quest for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. During a forced battle with a platoon under Barizorg and Insarn, the Gokaigers use the Go-onger, Dynaman, and Fiveman Keys to take out waves of grunts. But before they can use the Goseiger Keys, Agri and Moune steal the Goseiger Ranger Keys so their team can regain their powers. With Barizorg and Insarn forced to withdraw, the Goseigers ask for Gosei Knight's Ranger Key to restore the Groundion Headder to his usual form. Though having no idea that they have it, Gokaigers demand the Goseiger Keys back. Despite attempting to settle things peacefully, Gosei Red sees no choice but to fight. The battle between the two Sentai teams ends in a stalemate with the pirates withdrawing.

Meanwhile, aboard the Gigant Horse, Warz Gill and his crew are notified of a void approaching their ship. The entity, revealed to be the Black Cross King, the resurrected Black Cross Furher, manifests and proposes an alliance with the Zangyack so he can have his revenge on the Super Sentai and their supporters. Although Warz is initially unwilling, he accepts Black Cross King's offer when he promises to leave the Earth to him as all he wants is to kill the Gokaigers. Back aboard the Gokai Galleon, as he and his ship mates have familiarize themselves with the sixth hero Ranger Keys, Doc finds the Gosei Knight Key in the Gokai Treanger Box with Captain Marvelous deciding to use it as bait. However, the Gokai Galleon falls under attack by Gosei Great as Gokaioh forms to fight back. During the battle, Gosei Red sneaks into the Gokai Galleon's living quarters to get the Gosei Knight Key. But found out by Gokai Red, Gosei Red is forced to steal the entire Gokai Treanger Box as the two red warriors take their fight outside and Gosei Red manages to get the Gosei Knight Key. By then, the Gigant Horse enters Earth's atmosphere and opens fire with the Black Cross King taking the Gokai Treanger Box before resurrecting Brajira of the Messiah, Hades God Dagon and Yogoshimacritein as the three villains teleport the two groups away. Afterwards, Navi investigates the scene and finds the Gosei Knight key which Alata dropped.

As this all happened, after selling off some of his anpan at an elementary school and meeting a child with a well preserved DaiDenzin toy, Daigoro Oume makes his way to the next school before meeting Ryo of the Heavenly Fire Star as he saves a salaryman from being unintentionally run over by S.P.D. Officer Koume "Umeko" Kodou. The three soon learn that the salaryman lost his job and his inability to sell off a toy replica of the Variblune made him consider suicide on the street. The heroes, however, encourage him not to lose hope as Ryo offers him a serving of his gyōza. The three Sentai warriors, along with their various allies, witness the Black Cross King appearing in the sky as he announces that he has their powers and will soon acquire the powers of the Gokaigers and Goseigers before enacting his revenge.

Finding themselves in an office building, Marvelous and Alata find themselves needing to defeat Brajira while dealing with his Bibi Soldiers in order to return to their space. Doc, Ahim, Eri and Hyde have their trouble with Dagon and his Zobils while Joe, Luka, Agri and Moune contend with Yogoshimacritein and his Ugatz in a Feudal Japan movie set within a thirty minute timeline. Despite their differences, the Gokaigers and Goseigers find common ground with each other and manage to defeat the three resurrected villains and return to their space where are welcomed back by Navi and a restored Gosei Knight. Deciding to accept a team up with the Gosei Angels, Captain Marvelous and his crew face the Black Cross King as he has them fight the animated Ranger Keys. After a grueling battle, the Gokaigers and Super Goseigers manage to revert their numerous opponents back into Ranger Keys. Upset by the turn of events, yet taking advantage of their weakened state, the Black Cross King assumes his full size to finish the two Sentai teams off himself. However, the Ranger Keys suddenly glow and enveloping the Super Sentai groups in a bright light.

The two teams find themselves surrounded by the Ranger Keys as they are spoken to in spirit by Tsuyoshi Kaijo, Soukichi Banba, Kanpei Kuroda, Rei Tachibana, Shirou Gou and Riki Honoo, who see the two teams holding the morals and values they themselves strive foe. As they, Daigoro, Ryo, Umeko, Satoru, Chiaki, Genta Umemori and Saki agree to letting him and his crew have their teams' greater powers, Captain Marvelous demands all their aid. Answering his call, the Ranger Keys create the Super Sentai Bazooka which the Gokaigers and the Goseigers use to destroy the Black Cross King before the Ranger Keys fly back into the Gokai Treanger Box. The Black Cross King, however, reveals his true form as the Black Cross Colossus while proceeding to wreak havoc on Tokyo. Gokaioh, Gosei Great and Gosei Ground attempt to stop him, but they are overwhelmed by his attacks with Gosei Knight taken out of the fight. Nozomu Amachi and the salaryman, remembering the sentai heros' words, urge the citizens not to lose hope and cheer for the two Super Sentai groups. This support restores Gokaioh and Gosei Great as they are joined by the main giant robots of the other 33 groups animated from various items including the salary man's Variblune and the boy's Daidenzin.

Though the Black Cross Colossus attempts to counter with Brajira and his Buredoran incarnations, Dagon with fellow Hades Gods Cyclops and Ifrit, and Yogoshimacritein with his followers, they are all destroyed by the Sentai mecha. With the greater power of the Gorengers, the Gokaigers have Gokaioh combine with Variblune to form Goren Gokaioh before finishing off the Black Cross Colossus with the Gokai Hurricane Cassiopeia. With the battle over, the 33 past Super Sentai mecha vanish as the crowd thanks the Gokaigers and Goseigers for saving the day. Later, the Gosei Angels give the Goseiger Keys back to the Gokai Galleon crew while hoping the pirates would begin to love their planet while giving them their greater power. As the Gokai Galleon sails off for another adventure, its departure is watched by a man in silver.

Tropes

  • Acting for Two: While Hiroshi Miyauchi reprises his role as Soukichi Banba (Big One), he also does grunts for his Goranger role, Aoranger, in the Legend War scene.
    • Teruaki Ogawa voices both of his Sentai roles, NinjaRed and the Black Knight Hyuuga. Ninja Red only says one word, "seibai", while Hyuuga has two lines and later appears out of costume in an episode in the series.
  • All There in the Manual: The pamplet for this movie reveals that a majority of the secondary mecha were severely damaged during the Legendary War.
    • Turns out Doggie Kruger (Deka Master) is close friends with Retsu Ichijoji (Gavan). In fact, it's one of the reasons this picture [dead link] was taken during the filming of 199 Heroes even though Retsu is not in the movie. Though it seems that according to Tetsu Inada's twitter, Dekamaster/Doggie Kruger will not be in Gokaiger vs Gavan at all.
    • Dead heroes like Rio, Mele, Burai etc. were brought back to life to fight in the Legend War. Who brought them back isn't clear. Apparently Rio and Mele being killed in the series and then revived to fight Long in Go-onger vs. Gekiranger is mentioned in the 199 Hero Movie pamphlet as something that happened, so this adds a bit more evidence that Gokaiger incorporates everything as "canon."
  • Back from the Dead: The Black Cross King is revived from hell due to the villains hatred of Super Sentai, bringing Brajira of the Messiah, Hades God Dagon and Yogoshimacritein with him as his three lieutenants. Also, during the giant battle, while Brajira summons his past forms, Dagon and Yogoshimacritein summon other members of their villain group.
  • Bad Boss: Dagon's reaction to all his mooks suddenly turning into illusions of the Gokaigers and Goseigers is to start tearing through them hunting for the real things. This ends up being his downfall, as the real things were waiting for the right moment to get him.
  • Batman Cold Open: After the Legend War opening, the Gokaigers are seen fighting Insarn, Barizorg with the Zugormin and Gormin.
  • BFG: The Gokaigers and Goseigers use the Super Sentai Bazooka to destroy the Black Cross King for the first time.
    • Black Cross King also has one, except it's apparently not for battle; instead, he uses it to transform the Ranger Keys into his mindless drones.
  • BFS: Goren GokaiOh's Gokai Hurricane Cassiopeia is even bigger than the mecha-sized Rekka Daizantou wielded by Shinken GokaiOh. Justified in that it is used to destroy the gigantic ass and appropriately named Black Cross Colossus.
  • Big Badass Battle Sequence: The Legend War, extended version.
  • Big Good: Akaranger, who leads the 34 Sentai in the Legend War and is the primary voice when the Gokaigers and Goseigers meet past heroes.
  • Book Ends: The battle against the possessed Ranger Keys begins with the Gokaigers and Goseigers engaging the Gorangers, followed by the teams preceding the Goseigers (Gekiranger, Go-Onger, Shinkenger), right before being blown by several BFG team attacks. The last leg of the battle is a Beam-O-War against the same teams, ending with Gokai Red and Gosei Red finishing off the Gorengers.
  • Call Back: When Eri and Ahim do their combo attack, it's called Double Pink Attack #2. When Ahim asks why it's #2, Eri just remarks that #1 is already executed, which was during Goseiger vs Shinkenger (the one Eri did with Mako).
  • Chekhov's Gun: The Variblune and DaiDenzin toys.
  • Continuity Cameo: Tsuyoshi Kaijou, Soukichi Banba, Daigorou Oume, Kanpei Kuroda, Rei Tachibana, Shirou Gou, Riki Honoo, Koume "Umeko" Kodou, Saki Rouyama, Chiaki Tani and Genta Umemori, and obviosuly the full Tensou Sentai Goseiger roster.
  • Continuity Nod: The Goseigers still have their angel wings that they earned in the final episode.
  • Cool Old Guy: Denzi Blue, Big One, Aka Ranger…
  • Degraded Boss: While Brajira and Yogoshimacritein were the Big Bads of their respective series, and Dagon is the third The Heavy/Dragon-in-Chief in his own, in this movie, they are the loyal servants of the Black Cross King. Fitting, as he is the original Sentai Big Bad.
  • De-Power: It has already been established that the 34 Sentai sacrificed their powers to resolve the Legend War, but at end of the prologue we get to see the Goseigers finding this out.
  • Designated Girl Fight: When the Goseigers and the Gokaigers fight each other, Gokai Yellow of course takes on Gosei Yellow while Gokai Pink takes on Gosei Pink.
    • Later when the two teams take on the first 33 Sentai, during the phase of the battle when they fight their own colours, Ahim and Eri take on Pink Rangers along with a few female White Rangers. Half and Half with Luka and Moune's fight with the Yellow Rangers, as half of them are female and the other half are male.
  • Despair Event Horizon: The people of Tokyo almost goes through this during the Black Cross Colossus' rampage, as they watched their Sentai champions easily defeated.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Combination Attack between Gosei Black and Gokai Green.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Gokai Silver makes a cameo in the end-credits sequence. Gai is first introduced in #17 and this movie takes place between #16 and #17.
  • Evil Versus Evil: Averted. The returned Black Cross King manages to avoid this by having an agreement with Warz Gill, Zangyack will let the Black Cross King destroy the Super Sentai and then the Black Cross King will let Warz do as he wishes with Earth.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: The battle with the Black Cross Army is what makes the Goseigers and the Gokaigers bond.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: The Go-Onger part of the ending theme. Look closely at how Joe and Doc (As Go-On Blue and Green, respectively) pull off the group Hurricane Kick.
  • Foreshadowing: When there's a prominent shot of individual Sentai heroes in the Legend War, that character will appear prominently later in the movie (some even in the main series).
  • Funny Background Event: While Yogoshimacritein gives his rant to the Gokaigers and Goseigers, you can see a couple of his mooks struggling with holding his hammer.
    • After summoning the Super Sentai Bazooka, Go-On Green stumbles on his feet.
    • The ending credits, where it shows the Gokaigers transformed into the previous Sentai (evidenced by the various Gendered Outfits): Gokai Green makes a weird pose during the Sun Vulcan part, and Gokai Pink gets embarrassed when she's the only one that didn't transform into the Abarangers.
  • Humongous Mecha: All 35 main mecha are united in the giant battle.
  • Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: Brajira vs. the Red Rangers has shades of this.
  • Jidai Geki: Yogoshimacritein's lair.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Agri, Moune, Joe and Luka get warped into a Jidai Geki-looking environment, which they believe to be time travel at first - but the truth presents itself when Yogoshimacritein shows up with a filming crew. Not only are they still in the present, but the location actually is Toei's own Jidai Geki set.
  • Let's You and Him Fight
  • Like a Badass Out of Hell: The Black Cross King specifically says he and the other villains have returned from Hell to enact their revenge.
  • Mooks: The Gormin Sailors and Sugormin appear at the beginning and the main three revived villains (under the Black Cross King), Brajira, Dagon and Yogoshimacritein summon their respective mooks, Bibi Soldiers, Zobils and Ugatz.
  • Mythology Gag: The meeting of three Sentai Alumni to help a salaryman is explicitly a reference to the three separate Super Sentai periods (Kenji Ouba [Showa], Ryo [Heisei I] and Umeko [Heisei II]).
  • No Swastikas: Semi-present; the Black Cross King explicitly states in his speech to the civilians that he was once known as the Black Cross Fuhrer.
  • Oh Crap: BCK when he sees all the Ranger Keys brought to life in front of him, and later, as the Black Cross Castle, when the 33 Humongous Mecha appear to aid Gosei Great and GokaiOh.
  • One-Winged Angel: As in the original series, the Black Cross King's true form is the Black Cross Castle.
  • Pet the Dog: How Alata realizes that Marvelous is not such a bad guy, when the latter shields a couple of civilians from Brajira's attacks.
  • The Power of Hate: The Black Cross King is powered by the undying hatred of all previous defeated villains.
  • Rousing Speech: Twice:
    • First by the Sentai alumni, speaking through their Ranger Keys, when the Black Cross King has the Goseigers and Gokaigers on the ropes.
    • The second time is when the salaryman at the subplot of the movie and the Goseigers' friend Nozomu are rallying the people of Tokyo to snap out of their Despair Event Horizon, and cheer on the Super Sentai protecting them.
  • Super Dickery: The very first scene of the first trailer depicts the Rangers fighting one another, with the narration even declaring confusion over what's going on.
  • Super Mode: During the battle with the past 33 Sentai, the Goseigers become Super Goseiger, but the Gokaigers have no Super Mode.
  • Theme Music Power-Up: When the Humongous Mecha of all the previous Sentai teams join forces, the extended Goranger theme song plays throughout the fight as they beat down multiple previous enemies that were brought back to life.
    • Also in the beginning of the movie, with the extended Legend War scene, the music is replaced by the extended version of the Goseiger theme.
  • This Is Gonna Suck: Upon seeing the army of possessed Ranger Keys, what does Hyde say?

Even if they're not the real thing...this is going to hurt.

  • Took a Level In Dumbass: In Go-onger, Yogoshimacritein was the Vile Villain to Go-onger's Saccharine Show. Here, he behaves exactly like his Goldfish Poop Gang-leading son, Yogostein, did, trying to make a movie out of his defeat of some of the Gokaigers and Goseigers, and ultimately being defeated by the yellow warriors distracting him by asking him for an autograph. Rule of Funny at work, and probably done to make him more distinct from the other villains.
  • Time Stands Still: The Red Rangers are explicitly trapped in limbo when fighting Brajira, where everything around them is frozen in time.
  • Villain Team-Up: The Black Cross King brings several previous villains back as his underlings.
    • His first act in the film is to approve his plan with the Zangyack so they don't fight against him, proving he's Genre Savvy enough to avoid Evil vs. Evil.
  • Visual Pun: Because of the Black Cross Colossus' size, you can say that he's literally curb-stomping GokaiOh, Gosei Great and Gosei Ground.
