GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai (轟轟戦隊ボウケンジャー VS スーパー戦隊 GōGō Sentai Bōkenjā tai Sūpā Sentai) a Japanese superhero crossover film between GoGo Sentai Boukenger and the Super Sentai series, serving to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary. In the film, the Boukengers ally with their predecessors to defeat a Time Demon.
Production[]
Before being developed into a Super Sentai anniversary film ala Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai, Boukenger was initially planned as merely teaming up with the preceeding series in Boukenger vs. Magiranger (ボウケンジャーVSマジレンジャー Boukenjā VS Majirenjā). As such, the villain who would be known as Time Demon God Chronos was made to look like a Hades Beastman, the monsters fought by the Magirangers. Ultimately, however, this reference does not appear in the final work.[1]
Plot[]
The movie starts with Time Demon Chronos meeting with Arch Priest Gajah on getting rid of the Boukengers while obtaining three Gōdom Engines. As they plot, a mysterious figure watches above them. Afterwards, the Boukenger, excluding BoukenSilver, were summoned to battle some Karths. After their battle, they see Gajah and Chronos, with Chronos sending the Boukengers to a different dimension. Eiji was alerted of the situation, but before he could set out to rescue the other Boukengers, a mysterious figure named AkaRed, who describes himself as the embodiment of the fighting spirit of all Red Rangers, meets him and gives him the Super Sentai Address Book, which lists information on every Super Sentai member. He opens it to find Tsubasa Ozu, a.k.a. MagiYellow from Mahou Sentai Magiranger.
Eiji tries to talk to Tsubasa during his boxing match, but ends up getting ejected from the side of the ring since he was interfering with his match. Next, Tekkan Aira, a.k.a. DekaBreak from Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, is undercover trying to negotiate with Alienizers when Eiji interrupts. Eiji tries to acknowledge Tetsu's background as DekaBreak, but Tetsu beats him up and sends him out the window to maintain his cover. Elsewhere, at the Duel Bond site, Chronos shows a time device, a reverse flowing hourglass, to Gajah, which when augmented to a Gōdom Engine enable him to revive one of the Three Sorcerers, past Super Sentai villains whose magic caused the greatest harm to the Earth. Chronos would set another up at the Matrix ruins with Gajah remaining to welcome the second Sorcerer while Chronos installed the final device at the countryside. In Chronos' time prison, the Boukengers find out they were blocked of their technology and they meet up with Hikaru, a.k.a. MagiShine, also from Mahou Sentai Magiranger.
Eiji then receives a call through his GoGo Changer from Asuka, a.k.a. AbareBlack from Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger, all the way from Dino-Earth while taking care of his daughter. He tells Eiji that AkaRed contacted him, but the connection to Earth is weak since the power of the dimension door is weak as well. Even contacting him was hard through the GoGo Changer. He loses connection to Eiji after a few minutes. While Chronos set up his time devices, Hikaru talks to the Boukengers about Chronos and the Boukengers are introduced to Smokey, although at first mistaking him as precious. Eiji then tries to meet Nanami Nono, a.k.a. HurricaneBlue from Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger, before her rehearsal, but is blocked by security and many fans. In a desperate attempt to catch Nanami's attention, Eiji shouts out "HurricaneBlue," which Nanami is surprised by.
Chronos was then successful in summoning Meemy, from Mahou Sentai Magiranger, who meets up with Chronos. In frustration, Eiji throws out the Super Sentai Address Book and decides to battle Meemy and Chronos on his own. After Eiji is overpowered, he was rescued by HurricaneBlue, AbareBlack, DekaBreak and MagiYellow (he's mentioned Meemy one of the Magirangers' villain). However, the various Super Sentai warriors repeatedly get in each other's way and Meemy and Chronos were able to escape. In the time prison, Akashi reveals that he has Zubaan with him. Tsuetsue from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger was then revived and welcomed by Gajah.
At SGS, Eiji receives a message from Akashi concerning Chronos. The Super Sentai warriors then promised to help Eiji rescue the rest of the Boukengers and meet AkaRed while the time prison holding the Boukengers and Hikaru is slowly disappearing. Chronos and the other villains found the last hourglass tipped over, with the final Sorcerer missing, when they were attacked by the Super Sentai warriors. As the time prison started to disintegrate, Sakura analyzed and concluded that the clock with root-like designs in the wall was the key to their escape. The Boukengers and Hikaru then utilize the Magi Lamp Buster's Smoky Shining Attack, accompanied by Zubaan, on the clock in the wall. Although this does not damage the clock at all, it causes another root-like clock in the real world to appear. AkaRed orders the other warriors to destroy the clock while he takes care of the villains, transforming into MagiRed and GaoRed respectively, and frightening both Meemy and TsueTsue in the process; for both respective villains, MagiRed and GaoRed were their worst enemies. As AkaRed fights off the villains, the others succeed in freeing the Boukengers and MagiShine from the alternate dimension.
The Super Sentai warriors and the villains face off, with the Sentai warriors getting the upper hand until Furabiijo from Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger interferes after "taking a walk", but Nanami Nono, a.k.a. HurricaneBlue surprised her. But with all three Sorcerers present and accounted, Chronos fuses them all into the Staff of the Three Philosophers, his intended goal from the start. With the power of the staff, Chronos enabled himself to grow to gigantic proportions with new golden armor. The Boukengers countered with Ultimate DaiBouken and SirenBuilder, but Chronos proved too powerful for both the mecha and were defeated. In a last-ditch effort, the Boukengers summoned DaiVoyager, which was almost defeated by Chronos as well. AkaRed, sensing the danger, came back into the action, becoming a vessel to power up DaiVoyager using the Spirits given by the remaining Super Sentai warriors, enabling DaiVoyager to access its Burning Legend Form. Burning Legend DaiVoyager went on to defeat Chronos with the special attack, 30 Super Sentai Soul (an energy attack powered by the Super Sentai warriors of the past), and sent the released sorcerers back into the afterlife. After their victory, the Boukengers and the other Super Sentai warriors return to the SGS headquarters, and then parted ways. The Boukengers, however, would not have time to relax, as they receive another call from Mr. Voice concerning another Negative Syndicate on the move. The movie ends with AkaRed watching over the Earth in outer space, going into a deep sleep until he is needed again.
Continuity and Placement[]
- Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger: This movie ignores the events Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger as Tsuetsue is revived in the Org Matrix where she and Yabaiba were crushed in Final Quest: The Hundred Beasts Roar!! instead of where she fought the Gaoranger and Hurricaneger together.
- Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: Furabiijo re-emerged in the field where she and Wendinu were killed by the Hurricaneger and Gouraiger after they and Sandaaru abandon Boss Tau Zant; while in Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger, both she and Wendinu were last seen being chased by a worm on Dino Earth.
- GoGo Sentai Boukenger: The positioning of this movie in Boukenger continuity only places it in one position, between Tasks 42 and 43. In 42, it ends with Eiji fully embracing the team as his comrades. Furthermore, the Boukenger notice Gajah's absence since they released Great Sword Man Zubaan, suggesting he'd been gone for a while, including when they obtained the DaiVoyager mecha. Gajah returns in 43, executing his last scheme involving other Precious items before deciding to solely use ones linked to his Gordom Civilization.
