Episode 46:

Red asks Ninjaman how long he can stay before he mentions he will not be tricked- A MONTH HAS PASSED!? WHAT THE HELL HAS ANYONE BEEN DOING!? AG is informed reinforcements are coming as he is impressed one remote planet has given so much trouble. Insarn wants to do something before they arrive, something about earthlings not damaging their hands. She calls the aid of an action commander named Juju who fires a blow dart at random civilians. Meanwhile, Ninjaman attempts training with only Green, Pink, and Silver being present so they fight each other. Pink easily hands Green and Silver their rears until they double team on her. Some bickering ensues, Ninjaman believes they are good guys when he senses something unfamiliar. Juju is about to blow dart a couple when Ninjaman and the trio spot him. Two zugormins are called in to fight with him as Green, Pink, and Silver transform. Ninjaman cheers them on while scolding the other three for showing up late. Blow darting on Green and Silver occurs so Juju runs away, Yellow finding him a weird guy. At his cave lair, Juju and some gormins do some ritual around of a crystal ball. The result? It causes the victims to act rude and violent! The others have no idea what is happening with Green and Silver who eventually fight. Ninjaman says he does not trust the other three as Red demands something from Navi. Ninjaman and Pink notice a crime wave going on, the former soon being ran over by a truck. On GG Red's cutlass is analyzed, showing residue from an energy dart he cut in half which emits a wave frequency. Pink carries Ninjaman around as Green and Silver fight each other in what I think is a park, getting serious to the point of transforming. Pink and Ninjaman try restraining them. Juju laughs until Red, Blue, and Yellow find his cave, slay gormins, and the action commander eats his crystal ball, commenting that the evil in human hearts will undo them. Pink and Ninjaman are conflicted on how to handle this so the former tries to b nice to them. This fails and she rolls down a hill. She tries talking them down which eventually works and they come to their senses. The darts try to fight their resistance, but they burn out, getting them back to normal and collapsing. Pink states she believed in both of them and Ninjaman is sorry for being deceived by the bad guys. Navi calls the others what is going on, saying it is Zangyack activity.

At a quarry Red, Blue, and Yellow continue to fight Juju and his squad. This has them turn into Sun Vulcan to flip around and terminate grunts. Juju bolts spams them back into their civilian forms when the others show up to shoot them. Ninjaman is sorry he called the others cold as Juju is amazed Green and Silver got over his curse, both replying human hearts have more than malice. The Gokaigers transform, back explosions occur, two zugormins teleport in, Silver jumps in, and the others turn into the Kakurangers to join Ninjaman as an instrumental version of it's opening theme plays. Man ninpo is weird. Silver goes into Gold Mode to use the Final Wave on the zugormins, destroying them, followed by the others using the GGB on Juju and hs crystal ball. After the explosion everyone is returned to normal. Insarn uses the Enlargement Ray on Juju, GG and GouZyuDrill are summoned to become GokaiOh and GouZyuJin to fight him off- Where the hell did he get that scimitar? Juju teleports around to make it a far fight, the Gokai Full Blast fails to hit him, and the ultimate power of the Kakurangers is given to the Gokaigers thanks to Ninjaman. Said power seemingly does nothing until Ninjaman grows giant size, revealing he was the- OH FORGET IT! Ninjaman draws his ninjato and it is a good fight all things considered as Kanzen GokaiOh is quickly formed to use the Kanzen Burst, ending Juju for good in a big explosion with the mech's left leg blocking a third of the frame. Basco looks on, saying he has to take them all. Ninjaman bids farewell to the Gokaigers, summons his flying cloud, heads off into the cloudy sky, and Blue wonders what the last five ultimate powers are. Red ends the episode saying "Just wait, Basco." Next episode shows Basco shooting Sally and the Gokaigers before taking over GG.

Juju: Powers include an energy blow dart that causes people to be rude and violent, a spear on the blow dart, green energy bolts from the head, a scimitar, and teleportation

Episode 47:

After a recap of last episode, on GG Blue comments they need to find Basco. Green thinks they should immediately use their mechs when Pink suggests calling him since he needs their ultimate powers too. Red tries it and Basco claims he wants to settle things as he is on a rooftop. He opens Sally's stomach and unleashes two giants on GG. Both mechs form offscreen, the pseudo life forms each get an attack in only to get drilled, gunned, bound by MagiDragon, and the two pseudo lifeforms go on a spinning rampage. Machalcon is summoned so Kanzen GokaiOh can form while Basco notes he is out of giants to use. He looks at Sally sinisterly while Kanzen GokaiOh uses it's three attacks to destroy the two giants in a big explosion. The Gokaigers spot Basco pointing his gun at Sally, shooting at her and walking away. They head down, noting how wounded she is and Red flashing back to the day he betrayed him and AkaRed, unaware he watches from a building over. At dusk the pirates attend to Sally's wounds, Silver tries to speak her language because why the hell not? Red flashbacks to a time Basco tended to his injuries before remembering when he turned them over to the Zangyack. He walks to the crow's nest, Blue hands him his jacket asking what the plan is, pointing out it is a trap. Red is aware, but does not know how to proceed as he knows Sally will be betrayed for real eventually. He suggests sending her away once she has healed. Blue comments he is surprisingly soft given everyone's backstory. Blue tells him to do what he wants and walk away, Red puts on his jacket. That night Basco waits in the woods as in a flashback he reveals he did fake his betrayal with Sally as he wants her to steal their chest of keys.

Sally sleeps, waking up via popped snot bubble. She spots the chest of keys and wonders what to do since the Gokaigers treated her kindly. Her conscious goes back and forth until she eventually takes it and meets up with Basco that morning. The Gokaigers show up calmly which forces Sally to make a decision although Yellow points out it is empty. Sally opens it up, revealing it is empty. Red questions Basco caring about his comrade which leads to him revealing to be an animal abuser. Basco tempts her via banana which makes the struggle last a long time. She eventually goes to the Gokaigers, Red tells Basco to blame himself for betraying everyone. Basco thanks Sally for dragging everyone away from GG and unloads a bomb attached to her belt, killing her and knocking out Red. Everyone checks him after the explosion followed by turning their attention to Basco who ditches his human form. They transform to fight him, but Basco eeasily manhandles them with his cutlass. They turn into the Dairangers which fails to help them even though they use individual ki techniques. Basco tells them to give up and they turn into the Hurricangers instead.... Which does little so they turn into the Gingamen- **** NO YOU CANNOT USE THE GALAXY FLASH WITH ONLY FOUR MEMBERS! THIS WAS IN THE LORE! Basco does super speed flashes to knock them out, lightning flashes, Basco boards GG, Navi is spooked, and he shows off he has their ranger keys before swatting him to the ground. With everything h can now get the greatest treasure in the galaxy. The episode ends with closeups of all the knocked out Gokaigers. Next episode shows the Gokaigers fighting themselves and Red dueling with Basco.

Geronpa: Powers include gold dust from the hands and spinning fast

Episode 48:

After a recap of last episode, Blue manages to wake up from being knocked out and wakes the others. Red barely able to get up, Yellow in grief they lost and Green unable to access their computer or reach Navi. Pink notes their rangers keys and GG are gone, it begins to rain to make the atmosphere gloomy. On GG Basco ties Navi via ropes and empowers some ranger keys using the ultimate powers he stole before noticing Navi is gone. He soon spots his ropes are cut via a kitchen knife and attempts to search for him via Gokaiger manifestations. At a dilapidated church the real Gokaigers hide out to think about what to do next as Red recovers. They wonder what the greatest treasure is and if GG would even be able to fit it all. Navi calls Yellow after a ton of talking, stating he cannot he cannot escape and gives their location. The manifestation of Red looks around the cockpit, interrupting the transmission. Red tells the others to go since the sun is out. They reach a cliffside where they determine whether or not they can make the jump before doing so, somehow not killing them. After some bickering Blue thinks they should split up to cover more ground. Upon doing so they find their manifestations and proceed to fight them. The manifestation of Red spots Navi as the fighting goes on. Red grabs his jacket while still injured as he tries to leave. A flashback shows Sally saved Red via the medallion Basco used.

The manifestation of Red brings Navi to Basco who refuses to help him. Basco says he s the treasure's key when the others show up to shoot at him, revealing they beat their manifestations. Basco ditches his human form to emit red lightning from his left palm to throw them outside. They turn into red rangers to gun down the manifestation of Red. Eventually he is reduced to a ranger key and the GGB is fired on Basco which he merely rediriects with his left palm. This causes them to be reduced to their human forms and retake their ranger keys. Before he fires using his pistol Red shoots at him. Basco is surprised Red is able to fight who replies this will be the last time he sees his face. Basco mentions AkaRed wanted them to risk their lives for the ranger keys and protect Earth, meaning he was not the real traitor. Red calls him out on his BS saying anyone who gets in the way of their dream will be wasted. Basco starts shooting and Blue throws Red his ranger key, both start sword fighting once close enough. Both seem evenly matched as the fight goes on and dang it's pretty good stuff. Basco almost has Red pinned, but he manages to stop the traitor via sword pinning his right foot and dong and abdomen slash that ends in an explosion. Both pirates are knocked back, Basco gets up as he bleeds green blood followed by Red. What saved him from death was Sally's medallion in his jacket. Basco finally collapses and is reduced to dust, Red takes the stolen ranger keys, and the others attend to him as he states they will finally find the treasure. The episode ends with the Gokaigers heading back to GG. Next episode shows some guest stars, the triforce, and Insarn using Great Insarn.

Episode 49:

After a recap of last episode, on GG Red is up despite still healing. Some talking occurs about how close the treasure is, Silver wonders if they should use those ultimate powers what with Basco stealing them. The ranger keys glow and take the pirates to a white realm where they are met by past rangers. They state they have been waiting this whole time for glorious individuals and hand over their ultimate power before disappearing. The pirates are back at GG, Silver fangasms, Red tells them to find the treasure and for Navi to become the door, and we get the flashback of Basco saying Navi s an anomaly. Comedic antics ensue while on Gigant Horse reinforcements have arrived. The bodyguard reminds Insarn she is part of Warz Gil's death for not conquering the planet properly. AG tells her now is the time to accomplish something. The Gokaigers wonder how to get Navi to work when all the keys glow and fire a golden beam on Navi, turning him into a chained up door. Everyone except Blue gets excited, some red ranger keys are used to unlock the door which reveals a cave (this is still on the ship deck. After entering they find the triforce (or an object that looks like it) which starts to shine. Red approaches it which causes glowing. It starts talking, saying they are the center of the Earth and that object s the planet's will. Yellow wonders how much it is worth, the will replies they can remake the whole universe, confirming they could even rd the universe of the Zangyack or remake Famille or revive Yellow's sister or Sid. All they have to do is put ranger keys in and imagine it. They return to the deck, Navi goes back to normal, gather around the ranger keys, put hands together, and start thinking. Green stops them wondering what wll happen to the ranger keys, the will confirming they will disappear. This could also erase the ultimate powers, the will tells them not to worry as the ultimate powers would be used to recreate the universe. This would also make sentai disappear from history.... Making me wonder if maybe THIS is how Super Sentai and Metal Heroes became a different continuity from Kamen Rider. Suddenly GG is attacked by insarn's mech, Great Insarn. Reed puts the will in his chair while they fight.

GokaiOh forms to fight followed by GouZyuDrill being summoned to become GouZyuJin. Insarn wants to defeat them to become the greatest scientist in the universe, even revealing she made her own mech. Two giant zugormins attack which GouZyuJin attacks. GokaiOh fuses with Fuuramaru while four more zugormins attack GouZyuJin. Fuuraimaru tries clone spamming, but Great Insarn uses an energy barrier. GokaiOh uses the power of the Changemen for a more powerful Starburst Cannon that busts the energy field. This is followed by an iimitation of the Aura Galaxy via Maskmen ultimate power. GaoLion is summoned to become samura armor and end Great Insarn via flaming chop. Insarn survives the explosion and the main five jump down while GouZyuJin gets manhandled. Red tells her to stop resisting when four dogormins show up to help. Insarn refuses their help and spams shoulder rockets. The Gokaigers turn into the Magirangers to redirect some rockets followed by turning into the rangers that visited them. Fighting ensues on the small and large fronts, various powers get used with instrumental themes being used- Oh hey dogormins can be armed with a cannon arm like zugormins. Red duels with Insarn which ends badly for her. Once the dogormins explode and the giant zugormins are destroyed, the GGB is used on Insarn to blow her up much to her disbelief. AG's bodyguard acts like a dick followed by the Zangyack Fleet firing lasers at them in droves of hundreds, the Gigant Horse in the middle of it all. The episode ends with AG saying the Gokaigers and all humans will be slaughtered as lasers from the ships fire at them. Next episode shows the Gokaigers battered and a doll of MagiRed.

Great Insarn: Powers include flight, dual orange lasers from the mammary glands, large claws that emit electric shocks, and a green energy field
Insarn: Powers include intelligence, teleportation, an electric whip, shoulder triple barreled rocket launchers, and a pair of bladed tonfas

Episode 50:

The Gokaigers and a nearby city get beam spammed, the rangers get into their mechs GokaiOh and GouZyuRex to fight off the fleet, the Star Burst and GouZyu Laser fire on them, lots o' explosions with GouZyuRex taking it hard. GokaiOh gets laser spammed, Green thinking t is too much. Pink says they should borrow the powers of their predecessors, insert borrowed power spamming here. Eventually GokaiOh combines with Machalcon breifly while GouZyuJin forms- What, it uses Megarangr's power to fly? WAY TO PULL THAT OUT OF YOUR ASS! Even Variblune from the Gokaiger vs. Goseiger movies makes a proper appearance. On Gigant Hors AG says their tricks are useleess as more ships arrive. All the summonables get show down as Gigant Horse launches homing rockets from their undersided triple barreled howitzer. Once the two mechs crash, AG says it is time for them to die as more rockets fire and force the pirates out in their civilian forms. AG uses a hologram to announce the defeat of the space pirates which induces fear among the population and starting at dawn humans will be slaughtered. Also THE FLEET TELEPORTS AWAY! WHEN THE HELL COULD THEY DO THIS!? The Gokaigers are distraught and tempted to use the planet's will. Insert moral debate here. Silver sees a girl trying to rescue his mom and helps out. Suddenly Mammoth Ranger of the Zyurangers pops in to do the rescue! He asks Silver for assistance while Yellow and Pink notice it was the same mom and daughter (and baby) way back in GoGo-V's tribute episode. They get attacked by a pair of gormins, but Yellow and Pink shoot them down. After some bravery talk Blue and Green see a guy with a beard helping people- Oh yeah that's Dr. Amachi from Goseiger! Also assisting him is Yuka from Magiranger. At dusk Red spots the nameless samurai kid from the second episode fighting gormins by himself so he shoots them down for him. The boy says he can still fight even if he is not part of a sentai team. Red gives him words of encouragement and walks off.

The pirates look for Navi, him soon waking up in the wrecked GG. Some "we are doomed" lines are said, more debating about the treasure, Silver brings up they should ask the past sentai members. Apparently Silver talked with Mammoth Ranger- HOLD THE PHONE THE WILL SAID THEIR POWERS WOULD DISAPPEAR NOT THE ACTUAL PEOPLE! Anyway, he said they were willing to lay down their lives for the people of Earth as that is the wish of all Super Sentai. In unison they all decide not to use it and save Earth with their own hands. Blue states the Earth needs Super Sentai which is more important than their pasts. Silver eventually agrees and SHOOTS THE WILL OF THE EARTH. WHAT. THE. ****!? That morning Dyrandoh greets civilians saying they will die and prepares gormins to fire on what is essentially a mob. The Gookaigers shoot them down, reveal themselves, do taunting, raise morale among the people, Dyrandoh states everything will die, and after more word exchanges that last too long they transform with the opening theme playing. Dyrandoh sends his garrison forward who get slaughtered. Zugormins show up to get slain by Final Waves and Red and Silver become Zyurangers to slash up two dogormins who also end via Final Wave. Dyrandoh is stunned by this as the episode ends with the Gokaigers running at him. Next episode shows Red and Silver fighting AG on Gigant Horse.

Only one more episode of this tripe to go and so cannot wait!

 

[Captain Shark]

Episode 51:

After a recap of last episode, Dyrandoh attacks the Gokaigers who .at him. The Final Wave stuns him when an explosion happens, the source being Gigant Horse. The Zangyack Fleet assaults the city as he promises slaughter and states the world will be reduced to ashes. The Gokaigers are depowered and about to be fired on when Navi shows up with Basco's ship, Free Joker. Yellow asks how he can even fly and he gives no decent response as he fires into the fleet. Red says they need to board Gigant Horse and kill the emperor, Blue suggests Silver go with him when Dyrandoh shows up. The others stay behind to fight Dyrandoh. Red and Silver TELEPORT onto Free Joker to ram into Gigant Horse which fires at them, thank goodness for energy shields! Red throws Navi so he can escape while he and Silver transform offscreen, fight gormins, and AG is ticked but still continues the attack. Red and Silver make their way to the bridge, AG says it will be his tomb as he fights them without getting out of his seat at first. Silver goes into Gold Mode to fend him off, but AG's scimitar is too much for him. Red takes the controls and destroys the surrounding fleet via energy cannons. Dyrandoh is in disbelief as the other keep assaulting him. AG curses them and Red returns to fighting when finished. On the ground the others use extra hero forms to take on Dyrandoh followed by the GGB which destroys him. Red and Silver are barely able to stand as AG proves too much, both attack a control console to cause the room to spark. This distracts AG for slash attacks followed by Final Waves. The room electrifies as Gigant Horse sinks.

Gigant Horse crashes with the others looking on, Red and Silver make it out fine. They think the Zangyack is done, but AG shows up soon after sayng he will eradicate them. Red says he cannot beat them as each does a speech about how Earth and Super Sentai are on ther side. Silver deflects a pair of incoming fire balls before they transform and do intros. In the ensuing fight they turn into rangers of the first five teams and keep transforming offscreen. So much on screen chaos. Eventually they use various upgraded forms, beating AG down who is in disbelief. Red acts like a jackass before one last Final Wave blows him up- No, wait, he is still standing. Silver takes a point blank shot with the GGB (a GoGo-V homage?) and that finally does him in. Such a standard explosion. Everyone falls happily in slow motion when Navi shows up. Several months later, Yellow reads a galactic newspaper that says "SPACE SPORTS" and "Fear power to exist". In it there is confirmation the Zangyack have split into factions and lost influence throughout the universe before inevitable dissolution. Red is happy they reopened the diner from the first episode. Silver shows up to say farewell as the GG is finally fixed. Rd suggests going to the Zangyack homeworld and everyone agrees. While walking they are greeted to a bunch of kids and their teacher back from the first episode who thanks them. Yellow states they did not save Earth as Pink states they just want treasure. Red says they will see them around as the pirates walk off, the kids still thanking them. Red holds up the ranger keys and gives them back to Earth as the dissipate, Silver says they will be back for New Year's. Red spots AkaRed on the bow briefly. GG heads off into space as the ending plays, the opening plays, and the ranger keys return to their various rangers. Also Red stands on the bow because why not? The episode ends with their ranger keys still in the chest. So ends the worst entry in the franchise although Go-Busters has questionable camera work looking at the trailer.

Dyrandoh: Powers include a giant hammer that can increase in size and green lasers from the shoulders
Ackdos Gil: Powers include a scimitar that fires energy cutters, shoulder fire balls, and thick skin

Pathetic and insulting ranger balance! Worse cinematography! The Battle Fever J tribute was even worse than the Carranger one! The sound editing was atrocious! The main bad guy hardly did jack ****! Silver shot the very will of the Earth! Only Damaras and Insarn were good villains! Everything dragged out too long! TOO MANY DAMN INTERNAL CONTINUITY ERRORS! DO I NEED TO GO ON!? And Gokai Green confirmed for Super Sentai's Kamen Rider Diend! This was no anniversary series, this was pure mockery by people who either had no idea what they were doing or simply never cared. My brain hurts and I might tear into this properly another day, but right now my brain hurts from the sheer stupid. Is Gokaiger bad? Yes. Is it among the worst tokusatsu ever? Maybe. It isn't as bad as say Kamen Riders Blade, Kabuto, The Next, W, or Ex-Aid, Shougeki Gouraigan, Bio Planet WoO, Daimajin Kanon, Reigo, Half Human, or Dogora, but it scratches the surface certainly. It is on the same level as the Kiryu Godzilla movies, Gamera vs. Viras, and Gamera vs. Jiger. The only reason to recommend this is as a first sentai entry because everything it does was done better somewhere else! And no I am not going easy on this, Toei put a **** load of time and money into this! What ass balls.

See you when we get to Go-Busters!

 

[rangergod]

Too bad you did not enjoy Gokaiger many people thought it as was one of the best anniversary shows.

 

[Captain Shark]

Loved by the west and hated by the east is the mix received Go-Busters.

"Whoa you were gone a long time!"

Gokaiger drained a lot out of me.

"Why does Japan hate this?"

Supposedly because it changed things and because of that it had the lowest toy sales since Timeranger.

"What do YOU think?"

That is what we are about to find out!

"Anything else I should know?"

The main movie will be in part 1 between eps 19 and 20, I'll cover director cuts when available, and I am going to confirm this take on will go as far as Kyuranger.

"So no more breaks, right?"

Marathoning sentai has distracted me from other projects so Go-Busters will be the last series to be taken on this year. Do not worry, we should be taking on Kyoryuger at the beginning of the year!

=================================================
I have to very much disagree on this notion that Go-Busters is somehow not like other sentai entries, aside from trading in spandex for leather it has a tone similar to that of the 80s and 90s ones. Mech design is on par with Boukenger, maybe even being the best in the franchise thus far! The main trio surprisingly only get a pair of centric eps each while Gold and Silver are stuck sharing theirs twice aka their debut episodes. Once they did show up though the series became comedic like every entry since Abaranger so talk about some whiplash. Not too much, but enough to be disappointed in it for doing that. Messiah and his Hyper Space are well done, both having 90s chaotic computer imagery to make it vaguely resemble Hell with Messiah's teeth the only way to determine (properly) his skull-like shape, giving a fake image of something natural from an otherwise unnatural abomination. Then there are his avatar underlings who consist of a guy that spews random French dialogue and a gun toter with guns named after Gog and Magog (they seem to be hammering in a Revelation motif). The music is just fine for the most part, but the second ending theme is very unfitting and subpar all things considered.

Overall this is a very strong start and a definite improvement over Gokaiger.

=================================================
The ranger episode balance has issues (especially with Stag), the music got worse, the tone got jokier, and pacing got slow at times. With that all said I am going to safely say this is the third best entry in the franchise: The battles, the villains, the designs, the writing, the world building, and (mostly) consistent editing is top notch for Super Sentai in general. I dare say that, ignoring Brajira from Goeiger, that Messiah, Enter, and Escape are the best big bad, traitor, and loyalist type villains, respectively. The buddyroids, aside from Nick, did go further into the background over time, but they were side characters to begin with so I do not mind.

After Gobusters vs. Gokaiger we will be taking a break until next year, cheers folks.

 

[Captain Shark]

Wow this took longer than expected.

Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger:

According to the narrator an ancient legend of five keys promised to unlock a great power- Oh it's just the Gokai ranger keys. We see some Zangyack commander being given four of the five keys by Enter when the open title shows up. The Go-Busters and Buddyroids have a meeting about how in trouble they are or some ****. Meteors are detected followed by a black Gokai Galleon. Nice smoke. The Go-Busters head out only to be bombarded. The Zangyack commander reveals himself as Bacchus Gil, with him being none other than the core five Gokaigers! And hey they actually look like real pirates. They transform to fight while Beet and Stag use Buster Hercules against the black GG.... Somehow losing. Gokai Green begs them to hear them out, but that fails. The reds duel because they can, an action commander named Waredonaiya wants in on the fun. Gokai Red uses a Final Wave, Gokai Silver shows up to give them the Goggle-V keys fr ribbon surgng followed by Timeranger. The Go-Busters use their Powered Customs to stand more of a chance. Buster Blue noticed Enter who has the last mystic ranger key, but an electric surge causes his case to break and opens a black hole. A lot of sucking happens before sudden closure, Enter leaves via black GG rope, and Navi is detained at the base by Buster Red and Buster Blue. Navi recalls they went to the Zangyack homeworld where the GG crashed and Bacchus over powered them. By the looks of it the planet seems to neighbor a gas giant and is mostly rocks and water. Buster Red asks about the mystic ranger keys, Navi replies the most powerful treasure in the universe is unlocked by them. Suddenly the crew gets a formal old timey invitation. Turns out Buster Yellow and J are stuck in the year 1772! Run around antics ensue when they spot Silver in a thief outfit, he fangasms upon the encounter. Gokai Silver states he tried calling thm to no avail, but knows what they can do. In the present day Princess Shinken Red shows up to the base revealing the one to keep the scroll the past quarter millennium. Cut to Bacchus who brags he will be better than his predecessors, Enter wanting Messiah's subspace on Earth. After that Buster Beet pinpoints where everyone is throughout time and space, Navi mentions GouZyuDrill can be used as a time machine. Buster Beet points ut bringing the Buddyroids and zords would be difficult so preperations are made so they only have forty five minutes to time travel. Frog is teleported to the Mediterranean Sea in 1557 where Waredonaiya, Gokai Blue, and Gokai Yellow are. They spot a ranger key and Buster Blue challenges the two pirates who are now lousy shots. In Edo times Jealousshito is encountered who has a ranger key. At 1805 England we spot Gokai Green and Gokai Pink finding a ranger key only to be met by traps. They are quickly saved by Buster Beet in a Zoro costume. In the Cretaceous we see gormins and a zugormin take a ranger key when Blue Gorilla is chased by what I assume is supposed to be a T-Rex, but if this northern Laurasia as the caption says it could be an Albertosaurus. In 2005 Tokyo the reds encounter each other at the dinosaur restaurant from Abaranger complete with Yatsudenwani in the background aka ALL SENTAI ARE STILL IN THE SAME UNIVERSE, DISMISSING OTHERWISE IS DUMB. They fight outside while we see Waredonaiya betraying the Gokaigers as he takes the key to the present day via teleporting. The Gokaigers then explain they have been trying to steal the keys via surrender and fake loyalty to the Zangyack making Bacchus one of the biggest morons in the franchise for falling for this. Oh and Gokai Red calls Buster Red immature, yeah that is rich. Buster Beat, Gokai Green, and Gokai Pink encounter Bacchus and make it back to back where the reds are followed by the blues. Blue Gorilla and Yellow Rabbit look for Buster Yellow in Edo, freaking the locals out, when Enter sends an Epsilon Megazord on them- WOW those lasers are weak! Bacchus shows up with a squad of buglars, Gokai Silver and Buster Yellow transform to fight with J becoming Buster Stag. Both reds are sent out to save them- HOW IS IT NIGHT ALREADY!? Epsilon Megazord laser spams until Ace shows up to get punch happy. Gokai Red heads down, turns into Shinkenger, and slays buglars while Ace sword plays at the cost of enetron. During the weak laser spam Gokai Silver loses the key. Buster Red uses Red Cheetah to head out and shoot Bacchus which fails as he knocks him down and gets the key. Things get dire as everyone teleports back to base in a hurry. The Buddyroids overload and shutdown soon after. They are quickly taken back to base in slow motion.

The next day the are back online, but without their personalities. Blue Buster blows a gasket as Beet Buster states this cannot be fixed. Sadness occurs with the Go-Busters, Gokai Yellow notes they will have to find the keys without them. Speaking of which, Enter uses them on a door in black GG which opens an energy pillar that is quickly detected. Enter is happy, Bacchus reveals Ackdos was his uncle as he claims he showed him, and Navi shows up with real GG aka HOW THE HELL WAS IT RECOVERED!? Both sentai teams walk with random fire explosion going off, encounter Enter, banter is exchanged, and they transform once grunts from both villain factions appear. After a neat pan we get back explosions as the rangers charge in terminating mooks. Bacchus shows up, Enter says he can assist him by summoning avatars of Escape, Basco, and Damaras. The avatars fight the rangers, Gokaigers become Sun Vulcan while fighting Basco and therefore blowing him up, Damaras is brought down by them turning into Gouraigers and Shurikenger, and Escape holds off the Go-Busters until Buster Red does a stealth kill. Buster Stag gets beaten by Bacchus as the black GG goes cannon happy. The reds teleport up there to fight Waredonaiya, eventually kicking him out of a hole in the hull; since this is sentai there is a strong chance he survived. The reds have a chat about trust before taking the keys, hyper space is still going through- Yup Waredonaiya lived, he even has gormins backing him up. Suddenly the reds are met by Kyoryuger Red!.... Also he thinks his teammates are with him and they are not. He says he can handle this, the main two leave while he handles the gormins and Waredonaiya when the other Kyoryugers show up. Some melee and intros later they shoot up Waredonaiya, blowing him to pieces. A megazord is detected, Gokai Red says he will leave it to the Go-Busters. Omega Megazord arrives to fight Buster Hercules, the others show up soon after as body cannons fire, combining into Go-BusterOh. Omega Megazord has the upper hand while the Gokaigers get a face full of explosions, Bacchus wonders why they are protecting Earth as Gokai Red states the Go-Busters are doing that. The Gokaiger theme plays as they all turn into random red rangers to assault Bacchus. Gokai Silver goes into Gold Mode for his Final Wave followed by the others using GGB. Bacchus chugs his booze to make him grow, GG is called in to become GokaiOh in orbit, GouZyuDrill becomes GouZyuJin, and Omega Megazord fires a torso laser that stuns the other megazords. The base thinks they are offline as Bacchus holds the Gokaigers off. The Go-Busters channel enetron to their Buddyroids as Omega Megazord walks forward, flashbacks occur during this while being ordered to eject. Omega Megazord attempts to fire when enetron overloads around them, Go-BusterOh gets up to fight with the Buddyroids back to their normal selves. Go-Buster Lioh forms followed by the mystic ranger keys glowing and becoming Buddyroid keys. This allows the five mechs to get their own giant keys composed of random past sentai mechs. This turns them into said mechs, Bacchus wonders what the hell while Enter summons one of each of the four main megazord types. Naturally they get destroyed quickly. More mech transforming ensues, but more megazords are getting through. Ace flies up to fight while the others fight the villains. Ace shreds black GG, Omega Megazord goes down, and Bacchus Gil is blown to bits. Gotta love the climactic explosion. The movie ends with both teams having last minute talking (mostly the reds) and going their separate ways. The ending credits has the entire cast dancing and trying out costumes.

Waredonaiya: Powers include a sword that emits energy cutters, time traveling, and surviving high falls
Bacchus Gil: Powers include a sword that emits energy cutters and flames, time traveling, high jumping, and growth



So thanks to questionable editing and GG coming back from nowhere I do consider this one of the lesser crossover movies. It also has the most awkward intro for a new team and I am not fond of that. Continuity wise everything seems fine outside of Omega Megazord being used before the events of episode 42.
