Line 41:
*** The helmet change also brings to mind [[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger|Shurikenger's]] [[Super Mode]] as well, fitting as Shurikenger also seemingly fell in battle (though he apparently survived in the Team Up with Abaranger, that might not be canon) like the other three.
* Notice that the ranger keys Don has represent the [[Big Guy|Big Guys]] of their teams, like [[Mahou Sentai Magiranger|MagiGreen]] and [[Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger|GaoBlack]], even though he's a [[Lovable Coward]]. If you notice that he also has the [[Wrestler in All of Us]], his keys make a lot more sense.
* In episode 18, Gai receive his powers from three dead [[Sixth Ranger|Sixth Rangers]] in reference to him being the actual [[Sixth Ranger]]...and gai being probably dead. But it also represents other things.
** First of all, Burai represents the first generation of [[Sixth Ranger]], being [[Trope Namer|''the'']] [[Sixth Ranger]], and the one who must be present [[Passing the Torch|at the birth of a new Sixth Ranger]]. Naoto represents the ''destiny'', or better said, the [[Screw Destiny]]. Gai was probably destined to live a normal and boring life...okay, as normal as it can be in the sentai universe, but in the very instant that he saved that girl without caring for his own life just to change the "destiny" of another person, they changed his "destiny" of a boring life...or, you know, ''die'' from the accident. Mikoto respresents the ''previous'' generation, he is the Senpai of Gai, but the kōhai of Burai and Naoto. he is the one who has to [[Passing the Torch|pass]] the "name" of [[Sixth Ranger]] to Gai.
** Second, even if they already pulled a [[Heel Face Turn]] and [[Redemption Equals Death]], it's probable that they still feel ''bad'' for the wrong things they do, especially since weren't able to fully help their friends until the end. Even if they helped their comrades in the war, the fact that it ended with a "[[Downer Ending]]" (let's face it, the fact that they didn't defeat the empire, besides the fact they lost their powers and the earth was defenseless to another attack, wasn't exactly a "happy ending") didn't make them feel like they had compensated for the wrong things. giving the Gokaigers another member, besides of three more powers, probably represent their desire to help even if it is a little.
Line 72:
*** It's quite likely that they were chosen for being members who share a familial bond - siblings for the Go-On Wings duo and Gouraigers, lovers for the Dekas and parent/child for both Shinken Reds. This also ties in with the speech by Marvelous earlier about how Ahim is not alone, and that she is like a family to them. Though how the Gosei duo fits in this theme is beyond me.
*** Gosei Pink and Yellow were notable for becoming close friends despite being from rival tribes, which could arguably be a parallel to Ahim and Luka (since the show often makes a divide between Marvelous, Joe and Luka vs. Don, Ahim and Gai).
* '''199''' Heroes (AkaRed and GokaiSilver are already included in the count)? Why not make it a perfect 200 already? As episode 40 shows us, there's at least '''[[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger|one]]''' hero missing.
** Actually the hero count was right as the movie takes place before the Gokaigers travelled to the past to prevent the destruction of the temple housing the special jar but it adds a bit of horror as to why the 200th hero was not there.
* Why didn't the [[Hikari Sentai Maskman|God Hand]] work on [[Stone Wall]] Shieldon in #32? Because that attack has a horrible track record in it's own show, despite it's legendary status.
Line 97:
* Basco's motto, "Can't gain something without sacrificing something else." Just think about it.
** Give up? {{spoiler|Foreshadowing for the Greatest Treasure, which gains the destruction of the Zangyack at the sacrifice of the powers of Super Sentai.}}
** Even better: {{spoiler|The Gokaigers' rebuttal to that motto, "If we want something, we'll just take it, because that's what pirates do" foreshadows their actions upon learning that: Destroying the Greatest Treasure and defeating the Zangyack on their own, without sacrificing anything.}}
* Dekaranger and Signalman Kobaan are allies not only because of Super Sentai but both are Space Police. Special Police Dekaranger handle interstellar crimes while Signalman Police of Police Planet handle lower priority stuff such as space traffic safety.
** Space Sheriffs being linked to Super Sentai may seem to be confusing considering they were called Galactic Union Police not Space Police but watch Sun Vulcan episode 45 it references a Galactic Union and Galactic Police. Shaider episode 17 shows Galactic Police is another name for the Space Sheriffs. Shozo Uehara who wrote for Sun Vulcan would also write for Space Sheriff Gavan, Space Sheriff Sharivan and Space Sheriff Shaider.
Line 109:
* In #6, an infinite source of gold would severely increase the supply of gold in the world, [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts|causing its value to decline sharply and crashing the market]]. It's the same reason why you can't just print money, [[Funny Money|as Zimbabwe found out the hard way]].
** It was just one tree, and a fairly small one at that. Even though the supply was ''theoretically'' infinite, in reality they could probably only "harvest" so much gold at any one time. If the 'gold tree' method leaked to the public and everyone were suddenly able to plant forests of gold then yes, there would be some major problems. But in the short term a single family with a single tree wouldn't make that big of a dent in the overall gold supply.
* In #51, the Gokaiger return the Ranger Keys to their rightful owners. While this makes for an appropriate and nice ending, there is a bit of a problem for them: namely, their abilities are severely reduced since all they have are their own Ranger Keys. Now none of the main five can perform double Final Waves anymore, and even worse, Gai is now officially mecha-less. This might not seem like a problem, but remember that the series ends with them heading to the Zangyack homeworld, which is currently in the middle of factional in-fighting -- in other words, a time when they would need all the power they can muster.
** You have to remember two things: 1. The Empire has been severely crippled due to the crew killing most of their forces from across the universe, most powerful generals and monarchs. They should be even worse with all their in-fighting. 2.They have been shown fighting Zangyack forces in flashbacks without transforming. They are much more powerful than they were when the series began and the galleon is still strong without the greater powers.
* So, the Gokaigers returned the Ranger Keys to Earth--all of them...so, where did the keys for [[Choujin Sentai Jetman|Black Condor]], [[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger|Dragon Ranger]], [[Mirai Sentai Timeranger|TimeFire]], and [[Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger|Abare Killer]] go? Episodes 18 and 28 both show that the dead Sentai can transform without the keys (sort of), so when the keys flew out, what happened to them? Couldn't they at least have kept the keys that gave Gai his mecha?
Line 125:
* The villains in ''vs. Gavan'' are imprisoned by the Zangyack because they were not completely evil, sympathetic, and/or comic relief villains. Keep in mind that one of Super Sentai's [[Strictly Formula|tradition]] regarding these kinds of villains, and you'll start to wonder what happened to a couple of others like them...
* Overlaps with Brilliance: the Space Police are aware of the Zangyack's galactic conquest, and yet they haven't done anything to prevent it, because Zangyack sent an agent to infiltrate its ranks, possibly to prevent the Sheriffs from taking direct action against the empire. It might also explain why Sharivan and Shaider are missing, too; in Shaider's case, [[The Character Died with Him|maybe]]...
** One has to note as per Gokaiger episode 5 SPD has a delete order for Zangyack action commander Bramdo. So the Space Police does fight Zangyack in some capacity. As noted in the movie in attempted negotiation with Gavan SPD cleared the Gokaiger as the piracy charges were fake. The Space Sheriffs and SPD work for the same organization, the Space Police. Signalman is also a Space Police from Police Planet. Thus while Super Sentai may serve as Earth's super heroes, the Space Police are more akin to the Green Lantern Corps. That makes them more of a overall threat to Zangyack than Earth's heroes. Which why Zangyack had Space Police Director General Weeval replaced with an impostor to spy on them and have them fight their enemies for Zangyack. Likely SPD higher ups and Gavan had their suspicions but they can't act without luring the impostor, Ashrada, out in the open.
* Rio and Mele {{spoiler|condemned their own souls as the price for going briefly [[Back
{{reflist}}
