This article is about a ranger in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. |
Captain Marvelous (キャプテン・マーベラス Kyaputen Māberasu) is Gokai Red (ゴーカイレッド Gōkai Reddo), the Captain of the Gokaigers.
Biography
Early life
Much of Marvelous' early life is unknown, but what is known is, when he was ten years old, he was saved by Space Sheriff Gavan, TV STORY-Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Uchuu Keiji Gavan: The Movie and after he grew up he traveled alone as a pirate. Captain Marvelous once fought Kiaido, the strongest bounty hunter in the universe, who nearly killed him, but he intentionally stabbed himself in the chest to create a weak spot in order to make the fight more interesting, ultimately letting Marvelous escape. TV STORY-Ep. 28: Wings are Eternal
One day, while looking through treasure after a run in with the Gormin, Marvelous discovered something of interest: the Ranger Key of Akarenger. AkaRed soon appeared and told Marvelous that he needed it, but Marvelous refused to give him it and attacked him, but was swiftly defeated. AkaRed told him about the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, telling him that he would never get what he wanted if he just gave up, and this speech inspired Marvelous to join AkaRed.
Red Pirate Gang
Marvelous was part of the Red Pirate Gang with AkaRed along with his robotic parrot, Navi. One notable occasion saw AkaRed save Marvelous from his own impulsiveness before finding the Bouken Red Key. TV STORY-Ep. 21: The Adventurer Heart They would later be joined by Basco ta Jolokia. They searched the universe in the GokaiGalleon to find the Ranger Keys, which contained the powers of the 34 Sentai teams which were dispersed all over the universe, so they could find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe.
They eventually managed to find all the Ranger Keys of the core Sentai teams, but Basco betrayed AkaRed and Marvelous, and revealed that he conspired with Zangyack forces that attacked the ship, wanting the treasure all for himself. AkaRed saved Marvelous from the Zangyack forces and gave him the chest containing the Ranger Keys (though unbeknownst to Marvelous, Basco possessed the Sixth Ranger and Extra Hero Keys), telling him to find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. AkaRed was last seen charging into dozens of Gormin Sailors. TV STORY-Ep. 15: A Privateer Appears TV STORY-Ep. 2: The Worth of this Planet
The Ranger Keys allowed Marvelous to harness the power of the 34 Super Sentai who once protected the Earth, with the Gokaiger Keys, he started the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger team, with himself as Gokai Red. Marvelous traveled in the GokaiGalleon in his search. With Navi as the Navigator, Marvelous resumed the search, her hints, though confusing, proved to be of help to him in his continuing efforts to find the greatest treasure in the universe.

Super Hero Taisen
- "I will destroy all Riders!"
- ―Captain Marvelous as the Kamen Rider-hunting Emperor of Dai-Zangyack.[src]
Captain Marvelous betrays the Gokaigers and takes over Zangyack as he assumes the title as their emperor and renames it "Dai-Zangyack" (大ザンギャック Dai Zangyakku), formed from the remnants of the dissolved Zangyack Empire and the conglomeration of all Super Sentai villains, in order to take down the Kamen Riders to obtain their Great Powers, and the Dai-Shocker group led by Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade. With many revived Super Sentai villains under his command, Captain Marvelous plans to obtain the Greater Power of the Kamen Riders to gain the "Ultimate Treasure in the Universe" (宇宙最高のお宝 Uchū Saikō no Otakara). After the timeline was restored, Captain Marvelous turned against Dai-Zangyack, who joins forces with Dai-Shocker to destroy Super Sentai and the Kamen Riders. Upon learning this, the Kamen Riders and the Super Sentai teams all join forces in order to stop their respective enemies once and for all. The Gokaigers teamed up with Decade and defeat General Shadow. Marvelous then teams up with OOO, and leads his team against Bio Hunter Silva, and Kamen Rider OOO changes his medals into Ranger Keys for the Gokaigers to use. The group uses the Gokai Galleon Buster to finish off Silva. Soon after, the Gokai Galleon crew watch Fourze befriend the Go-Busters, the reunions with Eiji and Hina and Tsukasa and Kaito. Marvelous then joins up with his crew and sees that the ultimate treasure is friendship between the Kamen Riders and the Super Sentai teams while accepting OOO's friendship. TV STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger
Captain Marvelous and the rest of the Gokaigers went to the Zangyack's homeworld until they were overrun. They had two choices - die or join Zangyack. The Gokaigers choose to join them and returned to Earth in a black Gokai Galleon. The Go-Busters were sent to investigate and end up fighting the Gokaigers. During the fight, Gai comes and finds the Gokaigers and Go-Busters fighting and had no idea what was going on. Marvelous tells Gai to hand the Ranger Keys over and Gai reluctantly gives him the keys. The Gokaigers Gokai Change twice and causes the Go-Busters to use Powered Custom. After the fight, Enter appears with the Phantom Ranger Keys, rare keys with mysterious powers until the keys resonate and create time holes sucking various Gokaigers and Go-Busters to different times.
Captain Marvelous and Hiromu continue to fight as Hiromu lectures Marvelous on joining the Zangyack. Marvelous reveals joining them was part of a plan and that they were only pretending to cooperate. The Gokaigers wait at the Go-Busters' command center until it was fight time. The 11 rangers head to battle with Bacchus Gill. The rangers morph and fight. Waredonaiyer stays up on the black Gokai Galleon. Marvelous and Hiromu jump up there and fought him. Waredonaiyer is pushed off the ship. After a long battle, Bacchus Gill grows to giant size. The rangers summon their mecha. With the gathering of the Phantom Ranger Keys, the keys transform into Megazord Keys, granting each of the rangers' mecha, a past mecha. After the battle, Marvelous tells Hiromu that he admires the Go-Busters' work and trusts them to protect Earth and calls them a true 36th Super Sentai. During the credits, the Gokaigers are seen hanging out at the Go-Busters' command center.
Super Hero Taisen Z
- "Gai... We're here to save your planet again."
- ―Marvelous and the team reunites with Gai on Earth.[src]
Gokai Red and the rest of the Gokaigers appeared to help Gai and Gavan (Type-G) defeat Ika Devil using their offered Metal Hero Keys. They later fight alongside the other Heroes against Space Shocker. Of the core Gokaigers, only Marvelous speaks, and like all of them he remains morphed throughout his appearance.
Zyuohger
Marvelous returns in Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger along with the other Gokaigers in order to obtain the Whale Change Gun. He is able to steal it from the Zyuohgers and take off into the air as Red Hawk, but is pursued by Yamato Kazakiri/Zyuoh Eagle. TV STORY-Ep. 28: The Space Pirates Return
Yamato is able to knock Marvelous out of the air and the battle continued on the ground, with Marvelous changing into Akarenger to continue the battle. Yamato is able to beat him and the two talk for a bit, with Marvelous telling him the legacy that the Zyuohgers now hold. Marvelous is soon joined by the rest of his team and the other Zyuohgers to battle past villains. Yamato, now Zyuoh Whale, and Marvelous battle Bunglay, Escape and Enter. TV STORY-Ep. 29: The Monarch of the Monarchs
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger
Gokai Red appeared as part of a conference of the first 38 Reds led by Red Falcon, whom addressed the Ninningers and Zyuohgers as the greater Super Sentai pantheon intervened to save them from defeat at the hands of the titanic Gillmarda. Empowering the Combination Nin Shuriken to form Wild Tousai Shuriken King, the first 38 Super Sentai further imbued their successors with the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst, destroying Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai. TV STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai
Chou Super Hero Taisen
An iteration of Gokai Red was summoned from the Game World as part of a team of five of the Strongest Sentai Rangers alongside five of the Strongest Kamen Riders by Kamen Rider Brave, helping to defeat the army of Shocker. TV STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen

Hand-Offs
Gosei Red walks to Gokai Red, who slowly lands using a swinging rope, and nods that he makes a good landing. Before walking off, Gosei Red gives Gokai Red a high five, and we, the viewers, turn our attention to Gokai Red while Gosei Red waves from behind. TV STORY-Epic 50: Protecting the Planet is an Angel's Duty
Red Buster rides up to Gokai Red on his motorcycle. After getting off, Gokai Red throws a punch which Red Buster stops, (The punch being the continuing responsibility). Gokai Red leaves shortly after. Red Buster quickly turns in the direction Gokai Red headed towards and bows out of respect. This is the first Hand-Off to involve another character, as Red Buster's motorcycle is Cheeda Nick. However, this is minor, as Nick does nothing more than be a normal motorcycle.
Akibaranger
Before transforming into the Hurricane Ball Ludicrous Power with the other Hurricanegers and KuwagaRaiger, KabutoRaiger says Captain Marvelous' catchprase "Let's make this showy!" Coincidentally KabutoRaiger was voiced by Tomokazu Seki in this episode, who was also the narrator and voice of the Gokaigers' equipment in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

The Gokai Red Ranger Key (ゴーカイレッドレンジャーキー Gōkai Reddo Renjā Kī) is Captain Marvelous' personal Ranger Key which allows him to transform into Gokai Red. Whereas the keys of the 34 Sentai were created out of the sacrifice of their powers in the Great Legend War, the origin of the Gokaiger Ranger Keys is unknown, though it can be assumed AkaRed had a role in their creation.
As with the other Gokaiger Ranger Keys, this key is commonly used in the Gokaigers' Ranger Key-compatible arsenal and mecha for different functions and attacks.
This Ranger Key was turned into a Ranger puppet once, by Basco. After defeating their own Ranger Key puppets, the other five Gokaigers defeated the puppet Gokai Red Ranger Key, with Marvelous reclaiming his key shortly after. TV STORY-Ep. 48: The Fated Showdown

During the Gokaigers' Christmas Eve battle, Gai borrowed the Gokai Red Ranger Key and the Gokai Green key and merged them into the Gokai Christmas Ranger Key, allowing him to assume a special hybrid form of Gokai Red and Gokai Green called Gokai Christmas. TV STORY-Ep. 44: A Lovely Christmas Eve
The Super Sentai Zyudenchi (スーパー戦隊獣電池 Sūpā Sentai, Super Squadron Beast Batteries), alternatively named Legend Sentai Zyudenchi (レジェンド戦隊獣電池 Rejendo Sentai Jūdenchi, Legend Squadron Beast Batteries) in the toyline, are a special line of Zyudenchi that contain the likeness of the Sentai teams before Kyoryuger (represented by the main Reds). These Zyudenchi are in the same fashion as the "Legend Rider" lines of Collectible Devices in the Kamen Rider Series.
A Gokaiger Zyudenchi, bearing the likeness of Captain Marvelous, is part of the Legend Sentai Zyudenchi toyline which can be used in Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O.
The Legend Sentai Ressha (レジェンド戦隊レッシャー Rejendo Sentai Ressha) are Ressha based on the mecha, specifically those belonging to the Red heroes, of the ToQgers' predeceeding Super Sentai teams. They can form a unique combination of ToQ-Oh reminiscent of past Sentai Robos by switching with Red Ressha. The ToQ Changer toy is shown to have sounds for Legend Ressha of all 37 previous Sentai.
Gokaiger Ressha (ゴーカイジャーレッシャー Gōkaijā Ressha) - The Ressha associated with the Gokaigers, based off of Gokai Red's Gokai Galleon; when replacing Red Ressha in ToQ-Oh, it forms ToQ-Oh GokaiOh. Also appears as an SG Ressha.
Personality
Always sparkling, Captain Marvelous is a "wild man." He desires everything to be stimulating, and he is always curious. Once he sets his aims on a target, he moves forward without flinching, no matter what. Marvelous is the type to poke his head in where it does not belong, and he often brandishes his crew of 5 with unreasonable orders.
Though he is the team leader, Captain Marvelous is an unpredictable sort of character who does reckless things to satisfy his curiosity, stating his actions as what any pirate would do in that particular moment. He is much stronger than he looks, evidently seen in episode 7 where he throws darts while wearing a heavy bracelet that Don can barely carry with both hands. His strength is also displayed in a flashback in episode 12, where he rips the Zangyack tracking collar off Joe's neck. He also has a rather hearty appetite.
Marvelous is also someone who cares much for his crew and for others even if he doesn't show it. An example of this was when Basco captured his crew and he was having a hard time deciding what to do. Another example is when Gai asked to become a Gokaiger after his debut battle and Marvelous asked him what he would contribute to his crew. Despite this selfish reasoning, he was concerned with someone so young taking on the Zangyack. However, he does believe in his crew and doesn't worry about them when they are in a bind of their own and shows to have much faith in them. Although he originally strove to protect them at all costs and ejected them from Go-Jyu Gokai-Oh to that end, after a vision of AkaRed he instead shares Gai's desire to have them all fight together until the end.
His morality however is described at best as a puzzle.
Bounty
His bounty was initially at Z=1,000,000 when they met Ahim TV STORY-Ep. 41: Something I Don't Want to Lose and was increased to Z=1,500,000 before reaching Earth, but this is eventually raised to Z=3,000,000. TV STORY-Ep. 5: Judgement Pirates This is then raised even further to Z=5,000,000. TV STORY-Ep. 15: A Privateer Appears After the death of Warz Gill, he now has a "UNLIMITED" reward bounty on his head, meaning if anyone captures Marvelous and hands them over to the Zangyack, the captors can get any kind of reward in return. TV STORY-Ep. 39: Why? We're High School Students
Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Captain Marvelous is portrayed by Ryota Ozawa (小澤 亮太 Ozawa Ryota). During an initial interview, Ozawa stated that the Sentai hero he wanted to become the most was AkaRenger. Before Ozawa, the top candidate for the role was Yutaka Kobayashi, who would later portray Kaito Kumon (Kamen Rider Baron) in Kamen Rider Gaim. As revealed by Kobayashi in an interview with Hyper Hobby Magazine, he was there until the end but had to turn it down because of another project he had at the time. Kobayashi noted that he and Ozawa strongly resembled each other.[1]
When he appeared as a child in Gokaiger vs. Gavan, he is portrayed by Tatsuomi Hamada (濱田 龍臣 Hamada Tatsuomi). While disguised as Akarenger in Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, he is voiced by Tomokazu Seki (関 智一 Seki Tomokazu).
In the Korean dub of Gokaiger entitled Power Rangers Captain Force, Captain Marvelous is voiced by Kim Seung-jun (김승준).
As Gokai Red, his suit actor is Hirofumi Fukuzawa (福沢 博文 Fukuzawa Hirofumi), who was suit actor for several recent Sentai Reds, his previous role was Gosei Blue in Tensou Sentai Goseiger. Gokai Red is currently Hirofumi Fukuzawa's last suit role before serving as an action director on Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters and other Sentai Series.
Dub names
In the Korean dub of Gokaiger entitled Power Rangers Captain Force, which aired in South Korea, Captain Marvelous as with the rest of the first five Gokaigers keeps his name (likely because they are not from Earth and thus don't have normal Japanese names), while his Ranger designation is Captain Red.
Etymology
- Captain Marvelous' name is similar to Captain Marvel, a name tied to two comic companies which he has similarities to:
- Like the Marvel of DC Comics, his color scheme is that of red and gold.
- Also, this Captain Marvel's powers and strengths were based on old heroes and gods of ancient myths, much as Marvelous and crew call upon past Sentai powers, triggered by his "henshin call" of SHAZAM, whose letters make out the the heroes names who provide him with their respected abilites, traits, and powers.
- Solomon for wisdom
- Hercules for Strength
- Atlas for Endurance
- Zeus for Power
- Achilles for Courage
- Mercury for Speed
- Also, this Captain Marvel's powers and strengths were based on old heroes and gods of ancient myths, much as Marvelous and crew call upon past Sentai powers, triggered by his "henshin call" of SHAZAM, whose letters make out the the heroes names who provide him with their respected abilites, traits, and powers.
- Like the original Captain Marvel of Marvel Comics, he is an alien who comes to Earth for his own purpose but ultimately comes to protect the planet.
- Like the Marvel of DC Comics, his color scheme is that of red and gold.
Notes
- While not the first alien Sentai hero, Marvelous is the first full-time alien Red Ranger. The only other notable alien Red of Earth in Sentai is Leonian Gyoku Rou of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, but he was of a period prior to Earth SPD using the typical Sentai battle suits and was only in four episodes at the end of the season.
- Comparatively, Power Rangers had two full-time Red Rangers of alien descent prior: Aurico and Andros.
- Marvelous is the only male Gokaiger whose name consists of more than three letters.
- Gokai Red is mentioned by Hiromu (Red Buster) in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters: Dinosaur Great Battle! Farewell, Eternal Friends, when he thanks Daigo (Kyoryu Red) for helping them in Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger.
- Marvin from Power Rangers Hyper Force is named after Captain Marvelous.
Counterpart notes
- Marvelous shares a few things in common with 3 out of 5 of the other Gokaigers in terms of counterparts:
- He is one of three Gokaigers to have a counterpart from all 34 past Super Sentai teams (the other two being Joe and Luka) and the 6 succeeding teams.
- He is one of two Gokaigers to have all of their counterparts share the same color as them and be a part of their respective teams' primary groups (the other one being Joe).
- He is one of two Gokaigers to have all of their counterparts share the same gender as them (the other one being Don).
- Overall, Marvelous is the only one to have a counterpart from all 34 previous Sentai teams and the 6 succeeding teams with the same color and gender as him and be a part of their teams' primary formation.
- With Red Rangers normally being the commander of the team, or at least a figurehead, Captain Marvelous remains in Keiichiro Asaka the center, even in teams where Red isn't the leader.
- J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai: Luka's counterpart, Big One, leads the J.A.K.Q. team.
- Ninja Sentai Kakuranger: Ahim's counterpart, NinjaWhite, leads the Kakurangers.
- Denji Sentai Megaranger: Don's counterpart, MegaBlack, leads the Megarangers.
- Mirai Sentai Timeranger: Ahim's counterpart, TimePink, leads the Timerangers.
- Juken Sentai Gekiranger: Luka's counterpart, GekiYellow, leads the Gekirangers.
- Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Joe's counterpart Gosei Blue, leads the Goseigers.
- He is the only male Gokaiger with any replacement counterparts. In this case, VulEagle and TimeRed.
- 5 Red Rangers (TimeFire, KabutoRaiger, Wolzard Fire, AkaRed, and Princess Shinken Red) are not Marvelous' counterparts, as 4 of these Reds aren't part of their respective teams' primary groups, while one of them doesn't come from a Sentai team at all.
- Out of these, Marvelous has only transformed into TimeFire (17) and Wolzard Fire (37).
- Marvelous has the most counterparts with a Bird motif (VulEagle, Red Falcon, Red Hawk, HurricaneRed, MagiRed, Go-On Red and his successor Zyuoh Eagle), considering his Kamen Rider OOO counterpart (Tajadol Combo) just happens to be the all Red Bird motif combo (Taka/Hawk, Kujaku/Peacock, Condor).
- Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger is the only Sentai season where Marvelous would have two counterparts.
- He is the only Gokaiger to have two Lion Rangers.
Gokai Change notes
- Throughout most of the season, Marvelous has used only Red Rangers. The only time he uses a different color is when the whole team joins in.
- Notably, his first non-Red Gokai Change, Bouken Silver, has a bit of brilliance to it: Bouken Silver's main mecha is GoGo Fire/Siren Builder, where it is mainly red. It was also piloted by Bouken Red at one point in his native series.
- Marvelous is the only Gokaiger who has never transformed into a Black Ranger.
- Of the 5 core Gokaigers, Marvelous has had the least amount of non-core Ranger transformations.
- Of all of his Red Ranger counterparts, Marvelous transformed into Shinken Red the most with 7 transformations, 8 if you include Hyper Shinken Red in Episode 51. His least transformed counterparts are Red Flash and GoRed, with only one transformation each.
