Hint on Futrue Themes in Previous Sentai

It hasn't happened a lot but sometimes there is a trend to have a hint to the theme of the next following Sentai theme in the Super Sentai. I am not talking about future Sentai series, but one after another.

I was reminded that Ryta of Jetman (1991) was sent to the past by a Mammoth monster to prehistoric times, which was used the exact next year for Zyuranger (1992). In the above picture, he met a cavegirl that liked him. He was Yellow Owl.

In Gaoranger (2001), they fought a Ninja who had his own shadow rangers to fight the heroes, many feel this was Toei testing out the ninja work for Hurricanger (2002), which follow afterwards. This footage was used for Power Rangers and had the same feeling.

In Go-Onger (2008), they often got visitors from the Samurai World and the movie exclusively featured the Samurai World. Three Engines formed the Dai Shogun, which was like a samurai. This theme was used in the next, Shinkenger (2009). Dai Shogun footage was not used for RPM. funny enough PRWF and PRNS were transfer of Disney to Saban and RPM and PRS are once again transfer of ownership.

In Goseiger (2010), the Seaick Gosei Great has a pirate look, and now the new theme in 2011 is Gokaiger. Funny enough, both series were used for Megaforce (2013-2014) and while the pirate theme isn't being referenced on the show, we see Sea Gosei Great Megazord during the second season Super Megaforce that uses mostly Gokaiger footage.

Back in the 80's, they had a float for He-Man and She-Ra in the Thanksgivings Day Parade and in the NBC live broadcast, they had He-man fight Skeletor and had various villains and heroes from both series. Smoke came from the grayskull castle in the float.

Super Sentai: 200 Heroes?

UPDATED 3/22/11
Go-kaiger promo said there are 200 past heroes, this is my own assessment. Some people might not agree, some others have added other ones. You are free to disagree of course. The reason I do not have the picture of them all here is because adding more pictures, make the other past posts not appear on the blog's first page.

Both maybe and hopefully Terebikun, New Type the Live or some other magazine will release a picture list of all 200. I first thought they counted the Go-kaiger as well but they did say 'past 200' but it could be a bad translation.We find out that the Gokaiger are indeed counted as part of the 200. The first Gokaiger movie says there is 199 heroes, that does not include Gokai Silver, making one believe Gokai Silver is the 200th hero. 182 heroes appear in the Ranger War and they are the 182 that the 6 Gokaiger can transform into, leaving 12 Extra Heroes.

SPOILERS! NEWS! Introducing the Go-kaiger!

UPDATED 12/4/10 11:30 AM EST
This is the New Super Sentai for 2011. I know this pic is posted everywhere but might as well do it too. Dukemon22 post this at 11pm December 1st night time. The 'skull' image on them is not a skull nor a light bulb but a key, since they will be using 'Ranger Keys' in the series. The Main Robo Go-kaiOh is also said to exchange 'heads' with past Sentai Robos. And the mecha seem to be half-animal, half-vehicle again.

It is called Pirate Sentai Go-kaiger.
3 men, 2 women.

Better translation from Dukemon22 of the image's info:

New Program, "Kaizoku Sentai Go-kaiger" February 13th, 2011 Start on TV-Asahi, Nationwide!The 35th Super Sentai Series, the likes of which have never been seen before in history. Their name, "Kaizoku Sentai Go-kaiger."

POINT 1- Go-kai! Soukai! Tsuukai! (Heroic! Exhilarating! Thrilling!) The motif of this year's heroes is "Pirates". This motif overflows in from both its popularity in anime, cinema and other types of entertainment.

POINT 2- Super Sentai Series 35th Work. A Memoiral Year. 34 Sentai Series and 200 past heroes are used in this work. Both parents and children alike can enjoy it.

POINT 3- Transformation items are the "Ranger Keys", keys which have the likenesses of past Sentai Heroes, and the Mobile Phone, "Mobairetsu". Using the keys, the Go-kaiger can turn into past sentai heroes and fight their enemies.

POINT 4- Their sword is the Go-kaiKen, their gun, the Go-kaiGun, which creates both an enchanting and violent Pirate Action.

POINT 5- Red's machine, Go-kaiGalleon, unites with "vehicles favorited by boys" to form the gattai robo, Go-kaiOh.

My Thoughts:
- Love the logo
- The sidearms are great, with the great and silver and black
- I like that their visors are different but the helmets are same basic shape. I like the 'tears' that are probably meant to be knives.
- Many people say the uniforms are a mix of Goseiger and Shinkenger, I agree but who wouldn't see a pirate in black? I like how they balance the gold accents with silver, the cuffs remind of barrels you find on a ship and also the cuffs of Dekaranger.
- I'm not liking the idea of the mecha being half-animal, half-vehicle again, it was cute for Go-Onger but it just looks tacky if Goseiger is any indication. Enough is enough.

Upcoming Toy List (Subject to change)
Ranger Key Series Henshin Keitai Mobairates
Releases in- February
A folding-type cell phone henshin device. Keypad on bottom half, screen on top half. When the Go-kaiger keys are inserted, the upper part is transformed, becoming the Go-kaiger mark. Example: When the ShinkenRed Key is inserted, the Mobirates sounds "Samurai Sentai Shinkenger Iza Mairu!". This one comes with Go-kai Red Ranger Key. 190 Yen

Kaizoku Gattai DX Go-kaiOh
Releases in- February
Go-kaiGalleon (Red), which forms the body and head.
Racecar (Green), which forms the left arm.
Fighter plane (Blue), which forms the right arm and Pirate Hat
Trailer (Yellow), which forms the left leg
Submarine (Pink), which forms the right leg

When a dial is turned on the back of Go-kaiOh, 5 "Caps" appear on the front side of the robot. Cannons attach from the caps, and the robot enters "Hissatsu Form." Additional parts can be installed onto the caps. Go-kaiOh is said to resemble GrandLiner.

Go-kai Machine Series 01 MagiDragon
Releases in- February
2,500 Yen
These mecha can attach to Go-kaiOh's caps, changing its forms. When combined with MagiDragon, a Dragon's Face is seen in the body. The front side of the feet also show dragon's feet-and-claws. This form is called MagiGo-kaiOh. Comes with Magi Red Ranger Key.

Go-kai Machine Series 02 PatStriker
Releases in- March
When combined with PatStriker, the body has a clear-look appearance, as there is a luminescence gimmick, as well as tires being seen in some of the caps. Form is tentatively called DekaGo-kaiOh.

Go-kai Machine Series 03 GaoLion
Releases in- April
GaoLion can combine with Go-kaiOh in two ways. The first, is in a Centaur Form (Kentaurus Gattai), as it did in Gaoranger. The form is tentatively called GaoGo-kaiOh.
It also has a "Great Gattai" form, which is a humanoid form, but it is silhouetted in the toy catalog.

Ranger Key Series Go-kaiGun
Releases in- February
Comes with Goukai Green Ranger Key.

Ranger Key Series Go-kaiKen
Releases in- February
Comes with Goukai Pink Ranger Key.

Ranger Key Series Go-kaiBuckle
Releases in- February
Comes with Goukai Blue and Yellow Ranger Keys.

Ranger Key Series Ranger Key Set 01
Releases in- February
SD-type ranger figures, sort of lego like. Transforms into a key by raising both arms, and then raising the lower half of the body forward from the back. The key part is made from a resin looking material, colored grey. When inserted into the Mobirates a "click" sounds.

Small figures of each of the past reds, and also of all 5 Go-kaiger used for transformation. By folding at the back, the figure becomes a key. Using the keys, there are about 190 sounds the Mobirates can make. Red seems to come with the Mobirates, Blue and Yellow seem to come with the belt, Green comes with the Go-kaiGun, and Pink comes with the Go-kaiSword. There is a legendary 5 set, including 5 Red Ranger Keys, and the MagiRed key will come with MagiDragon.

Set 01 Ranger Keys included are GaoRed, VulEagle, MagiRed, GekiRed, and another. (Probably ChangeDragon, going from previous info)


RUMOR:
Go-kaiger's 2nd Robo:
As opposed to Go-kaiOh, the 2nd Robo is rumored to be composed of animal mechas, based on powers of 5 more sentai teams the rangers will meet by the time of its release:

Red- Tyrannosaurus (Dinosaurs)
Blue- Shark (Sea)
Yellow- Lion (Land)
Pink- Bird (Air)
Green- Dragon (Mythical)

UPDATED 9/12/11
If Goklaiger is adapted, these are the ones that have Ranger Keys from Gokaiger and maybe there will be more for Power Rangers. These of course of ones that currently went from Sentai to Power Ranger, if Saban chooses to adapt old teams--that's fine, but I am only counting the ones that are currently Power Rangers and are originally from Super Sentai.

And the Gokaiger keys make 121!

I see them adding keys of Titanium Ranger, Phantom Ranger, Bat Ranger, Shark Ranger and Elephant Ranger, there would be like 126 keys and if they adapt AkaRed, I suppose him too.
