Line 8:
** [[Juken Sentai Gekiranger|Rio and Mele]] will appear in the Gokaiger movie. [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Enough said.]]
** The return of old school Sentai actors are also met with rejoicing. Including the actors of first [[Gosei Sentai Dairanger|Ryuu Ranger]], [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Deka Pink]], [[Denshi Sentai Denziman|Denzi Blue]] followed by [[Himitsu Sentai Goranger|Aka Ranger]], [[JAKQ Dengekitai|Big One]], [[Dai Sentai Goggle Five|Goggle Black]], [[Kagaku Sentai Dynaman|Dyna Pink]], [[Choudenshi Bioman|Red One]], [[Kousoku Sentai Turboranger|Red Turbo]]. Old school fans are getting some love!
** Not to mention, as the [https://web.archive.org/web/20190928101202/http://ridersrangersandrambles.com/2011/04/29/10667 recent trailer shows], we're finally getting something fans have been waiting for for years: a full on, multi-series mecha battle against an army of giant enemies.
** ''[[Choujin Sentai Jetman|Black Condor]]'' to be [[Back from the Dead]] for the Jetman episode, as confirmed by [https://web.archive.org/web/20110726024025/http://homepage3.nifty.com/guy-w/episode.html Toshihide] [http://guy-w.bbs.coocan.jp/ Wakamatsu] (Gai Yuuki's actor) himself!
** And now, fans have received warmly the spoiler that revealed that the Jetman episode is a {{spoiler|Marvelous focused episode instead of another Gai Ikari focused episode.}}
** Not only did ALL THREE PRIMARY MEMBERS of [[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger]] return for their tribute but [http://www.jefusion.com/2011/07/hurricanger-trio-transforms-again-in.html THEY TRANSFORMED!]
Line 26:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Pyu4WHNQo GokaiOh's theme.]
** Don't forget the badass [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTyhQMz3AeY&feature=related Kaizokuki Wo Agero] (even more awesome in full).
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: Unless you know Goranger's attack, the Goranger Hurricane with a garbage truck really comes out of nowhere, even with the Rangers calling it out during the attack.
* [[Complete Monster]]: From threatening to kill a child or threatening to blow up a school, both in order to get a Great Power, to betraying and almost annihilating the entire Red Pirate Gang, Basco establishes himself as quite possibly the most sickeningly evil villain to ever exist in the entire ''[[Super Sentai]]'' franchise.
** [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: But thankfully, Kei Hosogai is ''nowhere'' as sickening as Basco, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130720202949/http://henshinjustice.com/2012/01/30/basco-waves-goodbye-to-cast-crew/ he even hangs out and take pictures with the other Gokaiger cast].
* [[Continuity Lock Out]]: As cool as all these [[Call Back|Call Backs]]s to previous Sentai seasons are, it's probably going to leave a few newer fans who aren't familiar with the older seasons a little confused, like the Goranger Hurricane mentioned above (and, let's go ahead and mention the inevitable, it's going to be hell for whoever ends up adapting this into ''[[Power Rangers]],'' since they're going to either have to explain away or completely disregard the 16 teams that were never seen stateside (everything from ''Goranger'' to ''Jetman,'' with ''Dairanger'' on top of it...unless Saban retreads the path of the ''[[Masked Rider]]'' episode "The Invasion of Leawood", which just plonked in every Showa era [[Kamen Rider]] without any prior context.)
** The PR group won't have to worry, at least for the Legend War.[http://www.jefusion.com/2012/03/toei-filming-power-rangers-legend-war.html Toei is making new footage just for Power Rangers] -- that—that doesn't use anything from before ''Zyuranger''.
* [[Creator's Pet]]: A portion of the fanbase sees Gai's character as this. It's standard practice for the Sixth Ranger to be the spotlight-stealer for the first episodes after their introduction, but Gai has a number of things that work against him. He is [[Kid Appeal Character|an obvious fanboy stand-in made to appeal to the young kids who want to be a hero]], whose abilities are literally given to him on a silver platter for very little reason.
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: Several monsters turning into a [[Twinkle in The Sky]]? Seen it. Said monsters smashing through the Zangyack fleet that's always in Earth's orbit? Funny. One such monster smashing into the flagship and ''[[The Chew Toy|still capable of walking up to the bridge]]''? HILARIOUS.
Line 60:
** We can now remake "[[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]" with a ''real'' picture of every single Power Ranger.
** It's possible that the popularity of Manta Headder from Goseiger (which turns into a pirate-themed mecha head) inspired Gokaiger as a whole. This gets lampshaded in [[The Movie]].
** The Mobirates' announcement for Sentai names during any Gokai Change is ''exactly'' the way the Carrangers announce their team name, which itself was a [[Running Gag]] in its series.<ref>To elaborate, the Carrangers always say "Carrrrrranger!" at the end of their roll call. The Villains, or pretty much everyone else for that matter, took it to heart that they ended up using the long version throughout the series instead of the proper name, even in serious conversations.</ref>.
** Goseiger's card system brought [[Kamen Rider Decade|Decade's card system]] to mind. Gokaiger brought everything else in Decade to mind.
** As Ryouma and Hyuuga note, the Gingaman fought [[Space Pirates]], and then we got a [[Space Pirate]] Sentai.
** A Red Ranger's actor initially declined to appear in a tribute episode because he wanted to put that part of the career behind himself. Other members of the cast and crew convinced him to appear, though as a result, he has limited screentime. Now, am I talking about Kazuki Maehara,<ref>who played Ryouma in ''Gingaman''</ref>, or [[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|Danny Slavin]]?
** In ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'', during his stay in Kabuto's world, Tsukasa talked about an explorer by the name of Vasco de Gama, who is similarly named to one Basco ta Jolokia. Bonus points for Vasco [[Spell My Name with an "S"|being interchangeable with Basco]].
** In #39, a [[Recycled in Space|space newspaper]] has an article about {{spoiler|the death of Warz Gill}} on a page that's headered as "Space Sports Extra". Wonder if that means [[The Lonely Island|the space sports had to be totally cancelled...]]
Line 92:
** This beauty known as [http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/5857/96697697.gif the Captain Marvelous Troll Face].
** Captain Marvelous is increasingly becoming more and more of a [[Memetic Badass]] as the series goes on. [http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/5807/1297602285984.gif And the bar was already set pretty high to begin with.]
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20131114064009/http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6446906/every-power-ranger-ever-in-epic-battle Just the Legend War scene] is drawing a lot of attention from the internet, even with [[Power Rangers]] fans not familiar with all the [[Super Sentai]] involved.

** Ever since Sousuke joked about it at the end of #36, Gokai Fire is slowly but surely reaching this status.
