''Tensō Sentai Goseiger'' <ref>''Tensō'' means "heavenly cloth", while the name "Goseiger" is a portmanteau of ''goseija'' (planet guardian) and "ranger"</ref> is the 34th program in the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series, airing from 2010 to 2011.

----

 

 

* Alata / '''{{color|red|Gosei Red}}''': One half of the Skyick Tribe left on Earth. Though [[Kid Appeal Character|not an easily apparent example]], he is just as [[The Hero|heroic]] and [[Determinator|determined]] as other Sentai Reds.

* '''{{color|gray|Gosei Knight}}''': Though not a Gosei Angel, Gosei Knight was the Groundion Headder granted sentience by the Earth, and was revived to fight the unsealed Yuumajuu.

 

 

* The Great King, Mons Drake of the Planets: <s>[[Big Bad]]</s> [[Disc One Final Boss]]

* Buredoran of the Comet: [[The Evil Genius]]

 

 

* Makkuin of the Blob: <s>[[Big Bad]]</s> [[Disc One Final Boss|Disc Two Final Boss]]

----

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: The Gosei Buster.

** Sky Buster: Combination of Gosei Red and Pink's weapons.

* [[Crossover]]: ''Goseiger vs. [[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger|Shinkenger]]'', which also features a [[Early-Bird Cameo|cameo]] by the [[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger|next team]].

* [[Custom Uniform]]

* [[Finishing Move]]

** [[The Hero]]: Alata

** [[The Heart]]: Eri

*** Landick Brothers: '''Stag Headder''', Tyranno Headder, Rhinoceros Headder. The latter two can attach as biting and [[This Is a Drill|drill]] feet, while the Stag Headder can attach as either a head or a chest piece.

*** Seaick Brothers: '''Manta Headder''', Hammer Headder, Sawshark Headder. The latter two attach as a [[Power Fist]] and [[Blade Below the Shoulder]] respectively. Notably gives Gosei Great the appearance of a [[Pirate]] (captain), complete with an [[Eyepatch of Power]].

*** Mystic Brothers: The Mystic Runner and Egg Headder, an ostrich and egg set that can equip to either Gosei Great (as twin flails mounted on the left arm) or Datas Hyper (as a [[Helicopter Pack]]).

*** Knight Brothers: The Sealeon and Skyon Gosei Machines, which combine with Groundion to form Gosei Ground.

* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Episodes are called "Epics".

* [[In the Name of the Moon]]

'''Knight''': "Cleansing the Earth, the Knight of Destiny: Gosei Knight!" }}

** [[Super Mode]]

'''Hyde:''': "Miraculous (Surging) Wave: Super Gosei Blue!"|'''All''': "The Gosei feeling is like a hot crystal! ''Super Goseigers''!"}}

* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: Involves sending bugs down to the [[Monster of the Week]].

* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: All Sentai has this, but Goseiger has been pretty blatant with it. The show currently has two gimmicks. One to support the Dice-O card game (and the only way to get the cards on the show is to buy all the other merchandise attached to the show, including the expensive roleplay jackets in ADULT AND CHILD sizes.) and then the Headders, who are of course, with the exception of the main ones, are sold seperately from the mechs. The Exotic Headers are another good example of the merchandising nature of the season. The reason they appeared once in the show was so they could do limited edition header redecos for special items.

* [[Monster of the Week|Monsters Of The Week]]

* [[Motif]]: 3. Three clans, three kinds of Gosei Power, the Goseiger were supposed to be 3 sets of 2, 3 sets of villains {{spoiler|that Brajira is a part of, the way he has the 3 clans' powers}} and a focus on both hero and villain sides with the trinity of heaven/space, earth and the sea.

** The Warstar Army's designs seem to be based on a colony of... [[Amazons Attack|Bees. My god.]]

** Eri: [[BFG|Skick Shot]]

** Agri: [[An Axe to Grind|Landick Axe]]

** Hyde: [[Automatic Crossbow|Seaick Bowgun]]

** Gosei Knight: [[Swiss Army Weapon|Leon Laser]] <ref>[[Ray Gun|Gun]] and [[Cool Sword|Sword]] modes.</ref>

** Super Goseiger: [[BFS|Gosei Tensword]]

 

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Appearing in [[The Movie]] is Sayaka Isoyama of ''[[Chouseishin Gransazer]]'' fame, [http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6976/20862173.jpg whose costume] already sports a large gold coin with a symbol on it, as all Sazers have.

** An indirect example in Epic 26 when Alata tries to get Hyde to loosen up by doing one comedy act after another, including ''a Louis Yamada impression''.

* [[Barrier Warrior]]: The ''Defenstorm'', ''Defenstone'' and ''Defenstream'' Expand Cards.

* [[Batman in My Basement]]: the entire series has our heroes living in a spare room in Nozomu's house.

** Epic 23.

* [[The Blind Leading the Blind]]: a stunning ''three-level'' affair in Epic 20. Nozomu convinces a schoolmate to approach the Gosei teens for love advice (since apparently Cupid is ''kind of like'' an Angel), and they in turn look to ''Prof. Amachi of all people''. (Yes, he has a son and is obviously qualified, but you really wouldn't think so otherwise...)

* [[Body Horror]]: Gosei Knight's transformation into the Groundion Headder.

** Although, given he was originally the Groundion Headder, it's more like a smaller scale case of [[Transforming Mecha]], sorta like Datas.

* [[Determinator]]: Alata and Hyde are this, especially the former. See Epic 49.

* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: The War Star are the major driving force for the first quarter of the show, with Mons Drake presenting himself as a serious threat. He's still offed by Epic 15, clearing the way for the Goseiger to move up the [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]].

*** Which are finished off in Epic 32, just in time to be replaced by the Matrintis, effectively making them a rare case of a [[Disc One Final Boss|Disc Two Final Boss]].

** Even then the Matrintis are destroyed in Epic 44, making them the [[Disc One Final Boss|Disc Three Final Boss]] and leaving {{spoiler|Buredoran}} as the final [[Big Bad]].

* [[Gratuitous English]]: Skick/Landick/Seaick Power, Datass Hyper, Headders, Tensouder... That's just from the premiere, mind.

** The Tensouders. Period. Gosei Knight's Leon Cellular ''does not'' apply.

* [[Groin Attack]]: Eri treats one of the Yumaju in Epic 21 with one.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: [[Not So Different|Both Hyde and Gosei Knight]] in Epic 19.

* [[Killed Mid-Sentence]]: The Zan-KT3 triplets in Epic 43. Doubles as [[We Hardly Knew Ye]] since they were introducing themselves to the Goseigers when they were killed.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]

* [[Large Ham]]: Gosei Knight didn't talk a lot in his debut, but everything he said there is theatrically heroic.

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Hyde has a Memory Wash card that can be used on [[Muggles]] without problem. Except for Nozomu. There's a [[Masquerade]] to keep up.

* [[Market-Based Title]]: ''Power Rangers Miracle Force'', in South Korea.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Nozomu's family name, "Amachi", is written with the Kanji "Sky/Heaven" and "Know/Notice", a nod to his status as the [[Secret Keeper]]. Also applies to Professor Amachi through a different take due to being an astronomer.

** Probably unintentional, but Alata and Agri are [[Altum Videtur|Latin for "winged" and "of the land", respectively.]]

*** Actually, most of the Goseiger names could be stretched to being meaningful in one form or another. The two Skick members are Alata ("Winged") and Eri ("Airy"), the two Landick are Agri ("Agriculture") and Moune ("Mound" or "Mountain"), and the Seaick is Hyde ("Hydro").

* [[Mono-Gender Monsters]]: Averted. There's only been a few, but they were quite clearly female.

* [[Monumental Damage]]: Epic 31 & 32. Makuin covers the [[Tokyo Tower]] in slime, then a ''ginormous'' Erurei Box leaking Makuin tops Tokyo City Hall.

** Warstar has an insect motif, Yuumajuu has both a cryptid motif and an arthropod motif, Matrintis has a machine motif and a marine invertebrate motif, and {{spoiler|Burajira's Dark Headers}} have a [[Hybrid Monster]] motif.

* [[Multiform Balance]]: Via [[Mecha Expansion Pack]].

* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: Likely unintentional, but the DVD-only [[Reunion Show]], "Tenso Sentai Goseiger Returns: The Last Epic'' has the narrator reintroduce the team: "Alata. Eri. Moune. Hyde. These five Gosei Angels acted as Tenso Sentai Goseiger." Uh, mister narrator dude, you left somebody out.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: The series [[Gosei Sentai Dairanger|obviously isn't the first]] to have the word "''Gosei''" in the title.<ref>The meanings are different though. "Gosei" in Dairanger means "(Of the) Five Stars/Five-Star". Goseiger's has the Kanji "Protect", "Star/Planet" and "Person"; roughly, "Those who protect the Planet" or "Planet Guardians".</ref>

** The [[Make My Monster Grow|growth method]] for the [[Monsters of the Week]] involve bugs which attach and make the monster giant. [[Choujin Sentai Jetman|Now, where have we seen this before?]]

** Gosei Knight's mecha form, Groundion, resembles a cross between GoGo Dump from [[Go Go Sentai Boukenger]] and Sei Shishi, the Lion mecha from Dairanger.

*** Even better, Gosei Ground's face has the same colors and scheme as [[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger|Muteki Shogun's]]. (Does it make sense now why its intro Epic had Sasuke and Tsuruhime guest-starring, with a Kappa MOTW?)

** Burajira of the Messiah (of the "religious reference" and the "if it goes ''that far'' to sound good, it's gotta be nasty" variety.)

* [[Nice Hat]]: The [[Mecha Expansion Pack]] includes these; special mention goes to the Seaick Brothers for having ''a pirate's hat WITH EYEPATCH''.

* [[No Social Skills]]: All Goseiger to some degree, especially the Skick.

* [[Not Quite Flight]]: The ''Windrive'' Splash Card.

* [[Orcus on His Throne]]: {{spoiler|1=Master Headder ''takes control of GoseiUltimate'' during the final battle.}}

* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: The series as a whole, having been sandwiched between the [[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger|crazy awesome samurai show the year before it]] and [[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger|the insanely cool pirate show the year afterwards.]] [[Arc Fatigue|Of course, there are some reasons why Goseiger suffered on its own.]]

* [[Our Angels Are Different|Our Angels Are (Very Very) Different]]: The Gosei Angels are actually a race of humans born with mysterious powers who fled to another world 10,000 years ago so that they wouldn't disturb normal humans.

** Except for all the white feathers that keep showing up.

* [[Panthera Awesome]]: Gosei Tiger. But Groundion, being a [[Conservation of Ninjutsu|stand-alone]] [[Sixth Ranger]] mecha, topped it later.

** Don't forget Sealeon and Skyon.

** The [[Blow You Away|Skick]] tribe members are both optimistic, energetic, and a bit [[Incredibly Lame Pun|air-headed]] at times.

** The [[Dishing Out Dirt|Landick]] siblings are [[Hot-Blooded|always ready for a fight]] and are occaisionally [[Running Gag|hard-headed]].

** Epic 34 has Zan-K.T recite the Three laws of Mat-Roids, a twisted version of Asimov's [["Three Laws"-Compliant|three laws]].

*** Still in the vein of [[Cultural Cross-Reference|Cultural Cross References]], Robogog himself is based off [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|the '03 Shredder,]] while {{spoiler|Matrintis-edition Bladerun}} has the helmet design of '87 Shredder and [[Predator]]-dreads.

* [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]: Each member of Warstar and the Yumaju is named after a different [[Sci Fi]] film or TV series. [[wikipedia:Universal Annihilation Army Warstar|The Other Wiki]] [[wikipedia:Earth Condemnation Group Yuumajuu|can fill you out]] [[wikipedia:Machine Onslaught Empire Matrintis|on those]] [[wikipedia:Brajira of the Messiah|names.]]

** Furthermore, the factions themselves are named after a different movie; Warstar is named after [[Star Wars]], Yuumajuu is a reference to a movie called "Rise of the Gargoyles" (known as U.M.A. 2010 or "''Yuu-ma'' Nisen''juu''" in Japan), and Matrintis is named after [[The Matrix]] and the lost city of Atlantis

* [[Significant Anagram]]: The species of Warstar's members are anagrams on species of bugs; Brasca = Scarab, Gubydal = Ladybug, Glus = Slug,... Surprisingly, judging from the Kana, it's done by rearranging the letters in English first; the Kana and pronounciations are made after that.

** [[Truth in Television]]: parents all over were ''deliberately'' infecting their own children with it to turn them into geniuses. Make no mistake, education in Japan is [[Serious Business]]. Also counts as a [[Take That]].

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: The ''Camoumirage'' Focus Card.

* [["With Our Swords" Scene]]: With a twist. Since Brajira {{spoiler|basically cannibalized his teammates to get the power to seal the Yumaju long ago, even though the three working together couldn't do so}} Agri, Eri, Moune, and Hyde figure that perhaps Alata could {{spoiler|take out Brajira on his own with their powers if they were willing to sacrifice themselves.}} Of course, they found another, less drastic means in the end.
