Logo-supersentaiThis article is about a series entry (the 35th) in the Super Sentai series.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャー Kaizoku Sentai Gōkaijā, translated as Pirate Squadron Gokaiger) is the 35th season of the Super Sentai series and celebrates the 35th Anniversary of the franchise. It premiered on TV Asahi February 13, 2011, joining Kamen Rider OOO and Kamen Rider Fourze as programs featured on TV Asahi's "Super Hero Time" programming block. The season's motif is pirates and follows the story of five young space pirates in search of the "Greatest Treasure in the Universe".

It's footage and anniversary theme will be adapted into the second season of the 2013 Power Rangers series, Power Rangers Megaforce, Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Plot

"The 34 Super Sentai who have protected the smiles of the people! They lost their powers fighting the Space Empire Zangyack, but their powers have been inherited by these unbelievable rogues!"
―Narrator[src]
"These youths travel the great seas of space searching for adventure and romance. They revolt against Space Empire Zangyack. These hearty fellows proudly bear the pirate name! And their name is..."
―Narrator[src]

The Gokaigers use the "lost" powers of the 34 previous Super Sentai teams to fight the evil Universal Empire Zangyack, whose first wave of invasion forces were completely defeated by the older teams until they arrive with reinforcements and invade the Earth once more, and they must visit the past 34 teams to obtain more power to fight against the ever-determined Zangyack.

As they continue collecting more Greater Powers, the Gokai Crew run into Marvelous' ex-crew mate, Basco, who is also looking for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, but he wants it all for himself. To that end, he betrayed his old crew and joined up with the Zangyack. He opposes the Gokaigers with his own set of Rangers Keys and his partner Sally, a monkey-like alien who can summon Giant Battle Pseudo-Lifeforms.

Eventually, Gai Ikari, an Earthling, joins the crew as the newest Gokaiger, Gokai Silver, after obtaining his gear from three former Sentai heroes (Burai, Naoto Takizawa and Mikoto Nakadai) and proving himself worthy of being a Gokaiger. As a Sentai Fanboy, his knowledge of past Super Sentai teams aids the Gokaigers in their fight against the Zangyack Empire and Basco.

Episodes

Main article: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Episodes

For the first time since Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, the episodes of this season have no special distinction and are merely "episodes" (although Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger also referred to episodes as "episodes", they spelled out the entire word in English and had a period at the end, thus making them "Episode."). However, just like in Kamen Rider Decade, episodes that are tributes to the previous Sentai teams will have episode titles similar to that particular season of Sentai (i.e. the Magiranger episode had a Magitopia spell in it, and the Dekaranger episode title was written in English).

The series' ending theme "Super Sentai Hero Getter" lists off all of the Super Sentai series, making reference to their songs and motifs, with each of the three verses of the song being played in rotation. The first verse covers Himitsu Sentai Gorenger through Choujuu Sentai Liveman, which all aired in the Shōwa period; the second covers Kousoku Sentai Turboranger through Mirai Sentai Timeranger, which all aired through the remainder of the 20th century; and the last one covers Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger through Tensou Sentai Goseiger, which were all broadcast in the 21st century. The song is remixed into "Super Sentai Hero Getter ~ 199 ver." from their first team-up movie (eliminating all but one of the choruses) and then "Super Sentai Hero Getter ~ Now & Forever ver." in the final episode, the latter remix covering Gokaiger and Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger also has soundtracks based on the show.

  • Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Single - The official single to the TV show featuring the opening theme, the ending theme, and the karaoke version of the songs. At the end of episode 4, the Gokaigers had a special promotion for the thirty viewers.
  • Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Original Album Treasure Sound Box 1 - The first original soundtrack to the TV series featuring 31 songs from the show including: Gokai Change!, the TV size version of the opening theme, and more.

Notes

  • The 5 core Gokaigers share many similarities to the 5 Gorengers:
  • This is the first Sentai series to have a pirate ship as a mech.
  • Nearly every major Sentai color was used for a tribute episode except for Green. Although three Green Legends appeared in the series, none of them were in a true tribute:
  • During the henshin sequence the roman numeral for 35 is seen "XXXV".
  • According to an interview, the number of returning legends in Gokaiger were not going to extend to the entire scope of the franchise. In the original plan, only series who were going to give mecha or mecha formations were going to have major focus and cameos, which would have made the Legends only extend to every series from Gaoranger to Goseiger. Surprisingly, Gekiranger was part of this group (even though their Greater Power did not necessarily have a mech), but Boukenger was not included, nor was any series prior to Gaoranger.
  • Gokaiger is the second Sentai series in which it's footage is also used for the season of Power Rangers before it's respective adaptation.  Footage of the Legend War is used in Power Rangers Megaforce.  However, Gokaiger's Power Rangers counterpart is Power Rangers Super Megaforce.  The first time this happened was in Chase Into Space, the finale to Power Rangers Turbo, in which footage of the Mega Shuttle is seen.
  • This is the first season where all rangers debut in a movie, as the main 5 made their debut in Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku and Gokai Silver made his debut in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle.
  • This is the second season where past Rangers appear in an episode, and not in a movie, the first being Turboranger. However, unlike Turboranger, the past Rangers appear frequently as opposed to just in one episode.
