Line 10:
*** [[Manimal]]? A [[Manimal]]-motif ranger would be... interesting, to say the least.
** OP: I didn't know that about Demeter, and I keep fogetting the Peacock as Hera (despite loving the use of that motif). But it works both ways. A male [[Mahou Sentai Magiranger|mermaid ranger]] (yes it would still be a mer''maid'') is a bit odd as well.
*** [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants|Mermaidman]] ranger!
**** Well it wouldn't be a milestone celebration without something strange happening now would it?
** Because their transformation is based on the [[Captain Obvious|original rangers' motif]]. It wouldn't [[Choujuu Sentai Liveman|Black Bison]] without a [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|black bison]] motif or [[Mahou Sentai Magiranger|MagiBlue]] with a blue mermaid motif.
 
* Exactly why didn't the previous sentai teams use their mecha in the Legend War (instead of giving up their powers)?
Line 77:
** But what about shows like Fiveman where it wasn't a matter of leggings and a skirt but a completly different lower spandex design, the women for example had a sort of bathing suit cut to end the upper suit.
*** Some of the examples listed, like Bioman or Flashman, don't work because Yellow's a girl and Blue's a boy, like Gokaiger and thus negating the need for gender swapped costumes. However, if any of those costumes do need to be gender swapped, then they can make two sets of suits.
** Why go big now and not wait for the 40th, 50th, or whatever anniversary? To cut down on the [[Author Existence Failure|Author Existence Failures]]. If you look at other franchises that his 35 or more, you can see they lost plenty of their stars, ruining the chance of a return for a anniversary celebration (Deforest Kelly and James Doohan from [[Star Trek]], Alec Guinness from [[Star Wars]], the first three Doctors from [[Doctor Who]]. Super Sentai had already lost Baku Hatakeyama (Yellow Ranger from [[Himitsu Sentai Goranger|Goranger]]). Let's face it, the actors aren't getting younger and can't [[Come Back From The Dead|Come Back from the Dead]] like their characters. Also, as the earthquake in March showed, anything can happen to anyone.Yeah, the characters could just stay in suit if we ever lost their actors, but would it be the same as actually seeing our favorite characters out of suits mentoring in some way the new team, setting them up to be new legends? Absolutely not. Why go big now and not wait for the 40th, 50th, or whatever anniversary? I think Toei's going for this now is to make sure they can still get as many past Warriors as possible to guest star before they have to [[Fake Shemp]] with a stuntman/woman in the suit.
 
* Why have them transform into the Gaoranger in 8 if that's the series that's getting the limelight in the very next episode? Seems redundant.
Line 99:
*** That wouldn't be very practical considering it has two swords. If it had a hook, then it would be actually quite hindered in battle even if it could use the hook as as weapon, as the hook would be limited in movement while the sword in the other hand is free to be swung in any which way.
*** Still, they could at least fold up that fist. It just seems out of place with the race car design.
**** I think when it's in car form, the fist is supposed to pass as an engine blower ([https://web.archive.org/web/20140216192232/http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/407583-bigthumbnail.jpg like this.]) I agree that it doesn't look all that accurate, but we've had a Triceratops with caterpillar treads in the past, so stranger things have happened.
 
* Where are some people getting the 200 Heroes idea? It's not a whole lot, but there's a small handful of postings over on the WMG page guessing at who the 200th hero will be. The problem comes up when you crunch the numbers: 33 teams have 5 members, +3 from Sun Vulcan, +4 from Abaranger, +15 [[Sixth Ranger]] Keys held by Gokai Silver (so 16), +10 Extras (Signalman, Bullblack, Dekamaster, Dekaswan, Magi Mother, Wolzard Fire, Zuuban, Rio, Mele, and Princess Shinken Red) comes to a grand total of 198. Assuming AkaRed shows up, that's still only 199. Why are some people trying to round up to a solid 200?
Line 163:
 
* If Luka or Ahim transforms into a heavily armored character like [[Gekisou Sentai Carranger|Signalman]], [[Mahou Sentai Magiranger|Wolzard Fire]], or [[Tensou Sentai Goseiger|Gosei Knight]], will their suits still gain a skirt?
** Most likely, they're simply not going to, for the simple fact of sparing the costume team the hassle (since they must already be stressed to a breaking point.) However, in a fun little bit of WMG, I figured it would be some skirt-like armored panels (like [http://www.amasterofmagic.com/MysticKnight.jpg this] or [http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/13558L.JPG this.]{{Dead link}})
** Perhaps like something from [[Star Wars: Clone Wars]].
** With Magi Mother, Deka Swan, and Mele, there's no real point in them needing to turn into a male Extra Ranger
** To officially answer your question, as of #37: they don't! Luka transforms into Zubaan and nothing gets added on.
Line 212:
* Just popped into my head, but I was thinking since Gokaiger is one big continuity and there are multiple Heaven-like places (Magitopia and Gosei World from what I've seen)...so like, have they all joined together or are they found in different places or...or maybe I'm just thinking too much.
** Most likely they're still seperate places. Heaven to each Sentai group tied to them but multiple heavens.
*** Magitopia is apparently where strong magicians go when they [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]], while Gosei World is home to [[Winged Humanoid|Winged Humanoids]] with [[Elemental Powers]]. Neither of them are technically Heaven in the sense of "the place good people go when they die", so there's really no reason they can't both exist separately.
 
* So how do you {{spoiler|elope from your son}}, exactly?
Line 274:
* Go-onger's Great Power, Engine Machalcon: {{spoiler|The son of Bear RV and Speedor. How the heck do motor vehicles reproduce?}}
** It's possible that {{spoiler|1=Engine biology is completely different from normal human/animal biology, but as for how a bird-machine and a bear-machine can produce ''another'' bird-machine, your guess is as good as mine.}}
*** Then again, this is ''[[Engine Sentai GoongerGo-onger|Go-onger]]'' we're talking about. [[MST3K Mantra|Do we really]] ''[[MST3K Mantra|need]]'' [[MST3K Mantra|an explanation?]]
 
* Ok, I can understand most of the Great Powers being used once (I personally think they'll be used again), but why did Super Live Robo pretty much show up and blow away the enemy...that's it. Unlike Daibouken, they actually summoned Super Live Robo ''physically''. Is it just me, or does this seem like a waste of a perfectly good addition? Not only could they make a new toy to sell, being able to summon another complete mecha to join them in battle would've been benefital and probably helpful in battle. Or at the very least, they could've made it astral like DaiBouken and attack, but they decided to ''physically'' summon a mecha and it just blasts the enemy. Don't get me wrong, I love the attack and think it's awesome, but I just feel like it could've been far more epic and have more than one use. Heck, they could've had Joe pilot Super Live Robo and finish off the enemy personally. I'm just a little irratated they overlooked all the possibilities they could've done.
Line 386:
** Presumeably, they were made by AkaRed, who has simular powers naturally due to being the [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of the Red Ranger Spirit.
 
* The justification for not using the Treasure seems a bit thin. After all, we're talking entire ''worlds'' destroyed by Zangyack - billions upon billions of people. Surely the fact that Rangers provide inspiration as well as monster-blow-uppage can't take precedence. Now, Earth's sentai teams never having existed may cause as much damage to the universe as Zangyack - there were many galaxy-spanning evils stopped cold [[Tokyo Is the Center of Thethe Universe|once they got to Tokyo]]. But ''that's not a reason anybody gave,'' even passingly.
** I believe that the evil groups that the Sentai fought would also be taken care of by the Treasure. After all, you can't very well live in a "universe at peace" if any of those dicks are running around, and I doubt the Sentai members would have given the Gokaiger's their blessing to use it if it meant their old foes would benefit from it. Odds are, the evil teams would just not exist along with the Super Sentai teams if that's what they desired. However, even then, here's a question for those that would think using the treasure is the only sensible option: if there was a button in front of you that would make it so that every war that ever occurred in our history never happened, would you press it?
** I think you also have to look at it at who to Gokaiger are. They are pirates, while also heroes, they don't want the easy way out of anything. It is perfectly consistent in the Gokaiger's characters to refuse to use a "magic reset" button.
