King-Ohger appears.

Notes[]

• Gai Ikari also made a movie cameo appearance before his official debut, appearing briefly before the end credits of Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, which was set immediately before his first episode.
• Interestingly, the enemies fought in the first two early-bird cameos were Gedoushu (Shinkenger) while the next two were villains from Gokaiger (Basco ta Jolokia/Zangyack); likewise, the next three were both associated with villains from that very movie (Waredonaiyer/Neo-Geildon/Clock Shadow). The Gokaigers did not fight any Goseiger villains in Goseiger vs. Shinkenger, nor did the Ninningers fight the Deboth Army in ToQger vs. Kyoryuger.
  • Gokaiger's case is a bit strange: although they did not fight against Goseiger's villains in the movie itself, in the chapter that ties-in with that movie, they fought with members of Goseiger's third antagonist team, Matrintis (specifically, Metal Alice of the Agent and Zan-KT0 of the Shot).
