Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

** 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]]!'''''}}

* [[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.

** 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 [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.

** 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!]

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: 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.

* [[Continuity Lock Out]]: As cool as all these [[Call Back|Call Backs]] 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 doesn't use anything from before ''Zyuranger''.

** 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]].

* [[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]]:

** 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.

* [[Memetic Badass]]: Marvelous, oh, so very much.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]:

** Oiles Gil:

*** He crossed this by {{spoiler|ordering a large number of people to be converted into copies of Barizorg.}}

* [[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.

** 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]].

** 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]]''.

** 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.

** 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.}}
