Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai' (百獣戦隊ガオレンジャーVSスーパー戦隊 Hyakujū Sentai Gaorenjā tai Sūpā Sentai) is the 25th anniversary movie of the Super Sentai franchise. It is the first Vs. movie, followed by Boukenger vs. Super Sentai, in which the current team do not team up with the previous team, rather a veteran team composed of Rangers from various Sentai. The film was released on Blu-ray on March 23, 2016.

Synopsis[]

The Gaorangers start off by fighting the Ogre Tribe Org until a great monster named Rakushaasa has awaken from his hibernation. He is nothing like what the Gaorangers have ever fought before, as he's stronger and deadly than the other monsters they have fought before. Upon retreating the Gaorangers seem to have lost hope when they encountered a mysterious monk who tells them about the Sentai Rangers that have fought before they became Sentai Rangers. They were baffled about there being other rangers besides them. Right until their G-Phones started to move on their own each of their G-Phones lead them to the whereabouts of an different ex-Sentai ranger of a different team. Each of these rangers teach them what it takes to be a Sentai Ranger. Will these ex-rangers be able to help the Gaorangers defeat Rakushaasa? And who is the mysterious monk who knows all about the Sentai Rangers of the past?

Plot[]

When the Gaorangers engage in another battle with Yabaiba and Tsuetsue, the two manage to summon Lost Highness Duke Rakushaasa, a Highness Duke Org who can siphon the fighting spirit out of his opponents. Rakushaasa lends his power to Yabaiba and Tsuetsue, enabling them to defeat the Gaorangers. He then attacks and drains Gao Yellow (Gaku Washio), Gao Blue (Kai Samezu) and Gao Black (Sotaro Ushigome) of their battle spirits, leaving them in a state of near panic. Gao Red (Kakeru Shishi) quickly orders Gao White (Sae Taiga) to escort the other Gaorangers to safety as he continues to battle Rakushaasa alone.

Rakushaasa subjects Gao Red to several illusion-based battles with previously vanquished Duke Orgs, attempting to drive him to despair. Meanwhile, the shaken Gaorangers are suddenly confronted by a wandering monk, who tells them of the existence of Super Sentai, teams of multi-colored warriors of whom the Gaorangers are the latest version. Each of the Gaorangers' G-Phones then scurries off, causing the Gaorangers to chase them.

The scurrying G-Phones lead each Gaoranger to a member of a previous Super Sentai team. Gaku is led to Yusuke Amamiya, Red Falcon of Choju Sentai Liveman, who gives him a training lesson in swordsmanship and explains the Super Sentai's expertise with Swords. Kai encounters Daimon Tatsumi, Go Yellow of Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive, who explains how each Sentai team develops fighting techniques. Sotaro is led to Gouki, Ginga Blue of Seiju Sentai Gingaman, who teaches Gao Black about the Sentai use of physical strength. Sae meets Miku Imamura, Mega Pink of Denji Sentai Megaranger, who explains the strengths and abilities of female Super Sentai members.

The two women are then surprised by Yabaiba and Tsuetsue, but the two Duke Orgs are then challenged by the wandering monk, who reveals himself to be Sokichi Banba, Big One of J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai. Banba and Miku help Sae rescue an exhausted Kakeru from Rakushaasa's clutches, and the heroes are quickly joined by the rejuvenated Gaorangers and their Super Sentai teachers.

As the former Super Sentai (led by Banba) engage and destroy Rakushaasa's hastily summoned force of Duke Orgs, the Gaorangers battle and defeat Yabaiba, Tsuetsue and Rakushaasa. Rakushaasa then summons more power, growing to giant size and attacking the city. He easily defeats GaoMuscle, but is driven back by an onslaught unleashed from an array of transforming mecha and special vehicles from Super Sentai history. The Gaorangers then summon GaoKing, which is then imbued with energy from past Super Sentai combined mecha forms. GaoKing then unleashes a powerful blast that annihilates Rakushaasa's giant form.

But Rakushaasa is not destroyed; he rejuvenates himself by draining power from a fleeing Yabaiba and Tsuetsue and attacks the Super Sentai. The former Sentai explain that the Gaorangers need to summon Super Sentai Spirit, the pure fighting spirit that imbues all of the teams. To help inspire them, Red Falcon summons 23 other Red Warriors from all the previous Super Sentai teams, from Akarenger of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger to Time Red of Mirai Sentai Timeranger. Their presence inspires the Gaorangers to summon Super Sentai Spirit from within themselves, which Kakeru uses to finally disintegrate Rakushaasa.

With Rakushaasa's defeat, all the former Super Sentai vanish. Returning to their home base, the Gaorangers find their mentor Tetomu in a faint; she vaguely remembers seeing Rakushaasa's appearing but quickly dismisses it as a bad dream. It's left to Gaoranger's narrator to assure the team (and the viewer) that the adventure was real.

Continuity and Placement[]

  • Due to the presence of the Soul Bird and the absence of GaoSilver, this movie could only occur between Quest 14 and Quest 15 between Ura's awakening and the unleashing of Duke Org Rouki. It could not occur whilst Rouki was active due to that arc's very tight continuity and could not occur after Ura's death but before Rasetsu's later awakening because GaoSilver joined the team during Ura's reign and remained part of the team until the finale.

Releases[]

  • August 10, 2001: Rental launch.
  • 2001: VHS release.
  • December 2001: DVD release.

Errors[]

  • In the poster for the movie itself, Kakeru's boot is erroneously colored white instead of red.
  • At the very start, when the Gaorangers transform they have noticeably switched places with each other (except for Kakeru), and the scenery has changed.
  • When Rakushaasa appears the camera crew's reflections are visible from Kakeru and Sae's helmets.
    • This also happens in some close up shots of Kakeru fighting the past Baron Orgs on his own.
  • In the new shot of Red1's pose he has his bio sword and holster on his left side instead of the right.
  • During the Red Ranger roll call, the background often changes between shots of each Ranger as well as between their fellow Red Rangers due to the use of stock footage.
  • Whenever the stock footage is used, the background music from it isn't removed.
  • Red Ladder and V-Fire's wheels do not roll, as they were animated stills.

Notes[]

  • Includes clips from every single Super Sentai series from Gorenger to Gaoranger.
  • Hiroshi Miyauchi was the oldest Sentai actor to reprise his role as Sokichi Banba.
  • GoYellow becomes the first Ranger to appear in three consecutives VS Movies with this film.
    • This would be Kenji Shibata's final performance as Daimon Tatsumi before his retirement. Shibata had been diagnosed with a severe brain tumor towards the end of the filming of GoGoV, which required five different surgeries and ultimately affected his motor skills and ability to perform, forcing him to retire in 2007.
  • Big One's appearance marks the first time a Ranger from J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai appears as a veteran, as the last appearance of his team (J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger) featured them as the "current" team.
  • In the Red roll call, archive clips from Gorenger to Timeranger of the Reds announcing themselves were used.
  • During Yusuke Amamiya's transformation into Red Falcon, the shot of Red Falcon's helmet is taken from the sequence when the Livemen summon the Bimotion Buster, so as to mirror the other Sentai Rangers' transformation sequences with helmet shots.
  • Stock footage of Hiroshi Miyauchi's previous roles, Akira Shinmei from Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and Chief Counsellor Naoyuki Miura from Choriki Sentai Ohranger, were used.
  • Even though there was no episode of Power Rangers Wild Force that used footage from this film, the episode Forever Red has a similar concept of past Rangers coming back and all Red Rangers being together.
  • Although a number of Sentai heroes appeared untransformed in the clips, most were the female Sentai heroes during a montage of "quick-change" transformation. The only males to appear untransformed in stock footage were Gouki's teammates (Ryoma, Hayate and Hikaru) and Akira Shinmei.
  • Gouki is able to access the Lights of Ginga during the fight scene near the end of the movie, even though Gingaman showed that all 5 members are needed for that to happen.
  • Despite being the team directly preceding the Gaorangers, none of the Timerangers were part of the Dream Sentai team which worked with the Gaorangers. This is the last time a current team does not interact with at least one member of the preceding team.
  • Timeranger is represented by V-Rex, a mecha mainly used by TimeFire, instead of TimeRed's main mecha TimeJet 1.
  • This is the only of 2 interactions in where the Timerangers and Gaorangers closely interact with each other (the other being for a short amount of time during the last episode of Timeranger.
  • Unlike most of Sentai team-up movies that released months after current series ended its air. This one was release during the Gaoranger airing.
  • With the exception of Big One, Red Falcon, MegaPink, GingaBlue and GoYellow, each past Sentai warrior was shown in clips when each member of the Dream Team lectured each member of the Gaorangers on certain attributes they possessed.
    • The following Sentai warriors were shown when Miku Imamura (MegaPink) lectured Sae Taiga (GaoWhite) on the past female warriors' ability in disguise as well as their fearlessness in battle:
