* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]:
** When Basco took the Final Wave for Sari in #39, was it because he needed her alive for his Pseudoroids, or did he actually show concern and care for Sari? {{spoiler|#47 subverts any possibility of the latter, '''''[[Kick the Morality Pet|HA]][[Moral Event Horizon|RD]]!'''''}}
** Did Akudos Gill truly {{spoiler|care about Warz Gill and mourn his death? Or was the memoral to his son and his [[You Have Failed Me...]] moment just going through what was expected of a man in his position who lost his son? Or worse, did he send Warz Gill there to be killed off in the first place, to justify a war of [[Disproportionate Retribution]]?}}
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]:
** Let's face it, the entire series was this to begin with. They had us at nostalgia...and then they added the pirates.
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
** 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!]
** A ''[[Metal Heroes]]'' crossover with [[Space Sheriff Gavan]]! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vp6xG40M2VM\]
** After being teased about it in #40, lots of fans rejoiced when it was officially previewed in #44 that [[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger|Ninjaman]], who had been rumored to have been left out of ''199 Heroes'' due to the suit being unavailable, is finally making an appearance.
** After the above crossover, it has now been [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHYIB02l0vA&feature=player_embedded announced] that the crossover that fans had been waiting for will happen, a [[Kamen Rider]] and [[Super Sentai]] [[Kamen Rider
** After much speculation, an [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nzm1N6qCyKs/TunGcX3Z4XI/AAAAAAAAKMQ/9kd6YOYqZ3w/s1600/gokai410.jpg All-Pink Gokai-Change] has been confirmed!
*** And Captain Marvelous will be Ptera Ranger...a.k.a. the Pink Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger.
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).
* [[
* [[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
** 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]
* [[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.
* [[Ear Worm]]: LET'S GO LET'S GO-KAIGER
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIr6lFoD2OE ending] is even more of an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGtADWjsqvc Ear Worm]. Lampshaded in one line of the song itself, which, roughly translated goes like:
{{quote|
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:
** Much like another [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|attractive and personable Yellow Ranger]], Luka is quickly becoming the one of the most popular character on the show.
Line 52:
** Not to mention the one bill everyone is focused on in 2011, the '''S'''top '''O'''nline '''P'''iracy '''A'''ct. It's very ironic that it was the Pirate Sentai that was playing during the anti-piracy craze.
** The whole Villain-falls-in-love-with-[[Gekisou Sentai Carranger|Red Racer]] plot might sound funny, until it's reported later in the year that [[Yuji Kishi|Yuji "Kyosuke Jinnai" Kishi]] goes into divorce for yet-undisclosed reasons. Worse, his wife was another Sentai alumni - [[Mika Kikuchi|Deka Pink]].
** The way the villains are portrayed in the movies can be [[Played for Laughs]]. It can also be jarring when you compare them to what they've been doing in the series proper. For example, in ''Gokaiger vs. Gavan'', how Basco "[[Dope Slap|punishes]]" Sally for not helping him fight the Go-busters...
* [[He's Just Hiding]]: After the end of episode 21, {{spoiler|this might be true of Aka Red. The final episode has Aka Red showing up in the end, then disappearing in a flash of light. So maybe?}}
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:
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>
** 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
** 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...]]
** Bit of a stretch, but the [[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger|Kuwaga Raiger]] suit gets the [[Gender Flip]] treatment over the more obvious choice, the reddish Kabuto Raiger one - Kuwaga Raiger became the Navy Ranger, Blake in ''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm]],'' and we know now that [[Blake Lively|Blake can be a girl's name.]]
** The entire "Don as a dragon slayer" arc, with a certain [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
** Compare [[Team Pet|Navi's]] excitement over finally getting a bounty to [[One Piece
** Still on ''One Piece'', Sanji is noticeably missing from the Expies in the main cast...but his [[Hiroaki Hirata|voice actor]] isn't, being the voice of Machalcon.
** And another from ''One Piece'', with [[Kazuki Yao]] a.k.a. Franky reprising his role as Ninjaman.
Line 75:
** We finally get some idea of what [[Kamen Rider Decade|the riders were going through during the Final Form Rides]] in the form of Don being the Zuban sword in #51.
** In the movie, the Gokaigers intend on hunting down the God's Eye, so that it will grant their wish to gain the greatest treasure in the universe. Of course, what the great treasure actually does is {{spoiler|grant a wish.}}
** Throughout Gokaiger there was a lot of [[Fan Dumb]] desperately trying to find [[Shout
* [[Holy Shit Quotient]]:
** Clips from the 199 Heroes movie show ALL 33 Giant Robos, plus Sky Ace from [[JAKQ Dengekitai|JAKQ]] and VariBlune from [[Himitsu Sentai Goranger|Goranger]]. Cue massive gasps of HSQ.
Line 81:
* [[Ho Yay]]:
** Marvelous and Joe in episode 12.
{{quote|
** The first time Luka and Ahim slept together on the couch, it was a cute moment that came after Luka tried comforting Ahim. The second time...well, here we are. There are other moments that can be be seen as shipping, especially episode 23, their focus episode (and Gogo V tribute).
** With the villains, Marvelous and Basco have their [[Foe Yay]] going on, while Joe and Cid act very, very close in some of their flashbacks.
** Don and the Soccer Kid in episode 32.
** In a flashback, Basco asks a wounded Marvelous, "Want me to feed you ... like a couple?" He's teasing, yeah, but still.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Marvelous, oh, so very much.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]:
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.
** It's recently been a [[Running Gag]] in several otaku forums that the release of ''Superhero Taisen'' will be the cause of the end of the world predicted in the Maya Calendar.
Line 103:
** Oiles Gil:
*** He crossed this by {{spoiler|ordering a large number of people to be converted into copies of Barizorg.}}
*** Some say he crossed it earlier when he had strapped a bomb to an Action Commander so that he would take a large city with him.
* [[Narm Charm]]:
** Sally (Sari) the Monkey, Basco's sidekick. It's clearly someone crouching in a monkey costume. But the constant antics and the suit actor's surprising devotion to really acting like a monkey make you forget how silly she looks.
Line 115:
** Something can be said about Gokai Silver's Gold Mode. The chestplate has miniature faces of previous Sixth Rangers, making it look eerily like a Super Sentai pelt or a witch doctor's shrunken head collection.
*** Or [[Kamen Rider Decade]]'s [[Super Mode|Complete Form]].
* [[Rescued
** Also, the [[Tensou Sentai Goseiger|Goseigers]]. Many fans found them to be either dull or annoying, but their more aggressive behavior during the 199 Heroes movie won a lot of viewers over.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: GokaiPink first appeared as the last [[Victim of the Week]] in ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]''.
Line 124:
*** The first major instance of this happens in episode 20 with the Black Knight suit, whose shoulder pads and chest armor are slightly peeled off in the edges and corners, a detail exposed within close-ups of the suit.
*** Another case happens in Episode 31, when Zubaan and Wolzard Fire grow to giant size. As Zubaan tries to stomp GokaiSilver flat, his lower leg looks very crinkly. This is especially noticeable because, being a giant, the stomping leg occupied ''half the screen''.
* [[Spoiled
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]:
** Episode 27, when Luka and Don [[Freaky Friday Flip|body swap]], they don't modify Gokai Green's costume into a [[Mini
** They've done an all-red and all-silver team, and half the team has done all-black and all-white, but there seems to be no indication that they intend to do a full team of Blue, Green, Yellow, or Pink, or any other combinations that would be cool to see (such as an all Archers team of Spade Ace, Ptera Ranger, Pink Racer, Blue Dolphin, and Shinken Blue.)
*** {{spoiler|All-Pink, (Gokaiger vs Gavan), full All-White (Gokaiger vs. Gavan), All-Green (#43), and All-Yellow (#44) can now be crossed off the list.}}
Line 134:
** Episode 39, which is Megaranger's tribute, didn't have a Nejiranger like enemy. It would be really cool if they had it instead of Basco and Sally. Or if Basco had Nejiranger Ranger Keys and debuted them in that episode.
** The lack of a Super Mode for the 5 initial rangers.
** Now even Gokaiger vs. Gavan has this. Tetsu Inada confirmed in his twitter that Doggie Kruger/Dekamaster (who is close friends with Gavan in-universe) will '''not''' be appearing in this movie.
** Show hands for those who thought that the rumor of the finale being a [[Book Ends|Second Legend War]] was true?
* [[Villain Decay]]: {{spoiler|Damaras probably got this the worst out of any Sentai [[The Dragon|Dragon]] - going from a bruiser to a punching bag in ''one'' episode.}}
