 This article is about an ending theme in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
|
It has three sections, each used alternately and in order as TV-size ending themes for the show. The lyrics feature all thirty-four sentai prior to Gokaiger, then ends as a Gokaiger theme as most ending themes would for sentai shows.
Though an entirely new song, it is essentially an update of Burn! Super Sentai Spirits, the ending theme of Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai, which listed the first 24 Sentai from Gorenger to Timeranger.
After Gokaiger, an updated version was released, Super Sentai Hero Getter ~Now & Forever Ver.~, which supplants Gokaiger as the main element of the song, and replaces the last two lines in the stanza with tribute lines to Gokaiger and the succeeding series, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. At the same time, a twist on the song was released, Zangyack Getter, which was sung by Hirofumi Nojima, Gaku Shindo, Kikuko Inoue and Koji Ishii in character as Warz Gill, Barizorg, Insarn, and Damaras respectively.
- Lyricist = Fujibayashi Shoko, Arakawa Naruhisa
- Composer = Ooishi Kenichirou
- Arranger = Project.R (Ooishi Kenichirou), Harumi Tsukishima (King Record Version), Nagareda Project arranged there own version
- Singer = Project.R, Nagareda Project (Nagareda Project Cover Version), Mu-Ray (King Record Version)
A new version, Super Sentai Hero Getter 2016, premiered on the 40th aniversary two-parter episode (being the second part the 2,000th episode of the Super Sentai Series) during the airing of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger; it added in the five teams post-Gokaiger into the song: Go-Busters, Kyoryuger, ToQger, Ninninger and the currently airing Zyuohger.
Super Sentai Hero Getter~199 Version
An arrangement of "Super Sentai Hero Getter" used for Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle; this version only uses the first chorus at the very end and uses the Sentai hero listings consecutively with only slight instrumental stops between the Sentai listings. In the ending to the film, the Gokaiger use this theme to become the five-man versions of the first 34 Sentai teams (excluding Sun Vulcan and Abaranger, both of whom have less than five and use the missing Gokaiger for gags). This ending song is also used in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Let's Do This Goldenly! Roughly! 36 Round Gokai Change!!

Ending Sequence
Standard
Like The 30 Sentai Encyclopedia of GoGo Sentai Boukenger, the three segments of the ending theme depict the entire 35 series history of Super Sentai, usually connected to the lyrics but with slight homages to ideas and concepts of the respective Sentai in the visuals as the Gokaiger interact with the characters. Some of the notable characteristics:
- Himitsu Sentai Gorenger: Marvelous stands alongside Akarenger, with the oldest and first leader character alongside the newest. (at the time)
- J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai: A card with Don is switched with Clover King; both are the respected Green warriors of the team, plus the "King" is typically the top card of a deck. (compared to the variable nature of the Ace and no pure "one" discounting both Spade Ace (the red) and Big One (the typical leader of J.A.K.Q.)
- Battle Fever J: Joe is dancing alongside the team; the team is notable for using dance moves in battle. Specifically, Joe is mimicking the dance of Battle France, as they are both Blue Rangers. There are several flags hanging above showing the international flavor of the season; however it is notable that the Russian flag is used to represent Battle Cossack (just like in The 30 Sentai Encyclopedia) and there is no flag for Kenya (even though Battle Kenya is one of the main five) yet there are flags for several other nations.
- Denshi Sentai Denziman: A doll of a Shiba Inu with glowing eyes appears; Denzi Dog IC is a robot Shiba Inu (played by a real dog) who is the main organizer of the Denziman team.
- Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan: Only Marvelous, Joe and Luka transform: this is notable as the only three-man team in the entire run of Super Sentai.
- Dai Sentai Goggle V: Ahim is tossed around by rhythm gymnastic ribbons, notable weapons for the Goggle V team.
- Kagaku Sentai Dynaman: The background explodes, inferring the massive amount of pyrotechnics this season used.
- Choudenshi Bioman: The team is blown away by "particles" from Luka's mouth: the team is empowered by Bio-Particles they inherited from far in the past.
- Dengeki Sentai Changeman: The team is surrounded by both their mythical creatures and planets in the background: the power source of the team is mystical powers from Earth to defend it from space invaders.
- Choushinsei Flashman: The same "planetoids" from Changeman become the individual planets each of the Flashman were trained and gained their powers and abilities from.
- Hikari Sentai Maskman: Don is seen using a hand gesture alongside the team; various hand gestures were used for empowering the "Aura Power" the team used for the season.
- Choujuu Sentai Liveman: A dolphin appears and kisses Joe; this season was the first to have a female Sentai who was not the traditional Pink or Yellow colors, with Megumi Misaki taking the power of the Blue Dolphin.
- Kousoku Sentai Turboranger: Don and Ahim appear in the uniforms of Musashino Academy, the team's high school: this is the first season with an all-high school/teen Sentai team.
- Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman: Marvelous appears as a teacher who beats up on Don; all the heroes this seasons are teachers and their designations are based upon what they teach.
- Choujin Sentai Jetman: A heart (with Joe in it) appears around the team: this team is notable for the love triangle that persisted throughout the season between Ryuu Tendou (Red Hawk), Kaori Rokumeikan (White Swan) and Gai Yuki (Black Condor).
- Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger: The team emerges from a dinosaur egg; a persistent subplot of the season involved the team protecting the last dinosaur eggs in existence.
- Gosei Sentai Dairanger: Luka floats down on several shooting stars; aside the name of the team, their nickname are as the "five stars who shine in the sky" and all five (ultimately six) members of the team have "sei" or "star" as part of their last name.
- Ninja Sentai Kakuranger: The team appears amidst English sound effects; the season was notable for it's usage of pop culture.
- Chouriki Sentai Ohranger: Luka's star from the Dairanger scene becomes the helmet of OhRed; the team was notable for shapes being it's designation, with the red leader being the "five-pointed star".
- Gekisou Sentai Carranger: Pink Racer approaches the camera and blows a kiss with the Joe heart returning; the season was known for being more tongue-in-cheek than the others, while the return of the "Joe heart" could also signify the peculiar love story this season between hero Kyousuke Jinnai (Red Racer) and villainess Beauty Zonnette (which was alluded to in episode 14, which paid homage to the season, and in which Zangyack officer Insarn fell in love with Kyousuke).
- Denji Sentai Megaranger: The team is seen riding on "sliders", which were the main transport of the team for the season.
- Seijuu Sentai Gingaman: Don is attacked by the Gingamen while Marvelous hides behind Don; like the Gokaiger themselves, the main villain of the season are also space pirates: the Space Pirates Balban. Their elemental powers are called "Earth", which is why Earth is in English rather than Kanji.
- Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive: The team save Don post-Gingaman attack; the team is known as a rescue squadron, and three of the siblings worked around handling fires, while GoPink is an EMT.
- Mirai Sentai Timeranger: Luka and Ahim are approached by TimeRed and TimeFire and seem confused by which is the main leader; this season was the first to have two Red heroes, both the main and the sixth hero used the same color. It could also be a slight gag at the actor Masaru Nagai, who played both TimeRed: Ranger Captain Ryuuya Asami and his ancestor Tatsuya Asami.
- Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger: The "Gao" kanji appear as Luka makes the pose for the team, startling the Gaorangers; the season persistently used text flashing towards the viewer during introductions and attacks for the characters.
- Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: The team perform attacks behind a traditional fusuma (sliding screen that is mostly used as a door), typically done as part of the attacks by the characters this season.
- Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger: Marvelous eats a bowl of curry while the team appears angry as if he stole it; the base for the Abaranger is "Dino Curry", a restaurant.
- Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger: Due to his previous action, Marvelous is locked behind bars; the team is notable as policemen who fight dissident aliens (such as Captain Marvelous for his previous curry action).
- Mahou Sentai Magiranger: Ahim appears to summon the team, by changing the Dekarangers into Magirangers, with a wand; the team is known for being a family of magicians.
- GoGo Sentai Boukenger: The Boukenger appear behind Don in the crows nest of a ship; the team is known as a squadron of adventurers who travel the world akin to the pirates traveling the galaxy.
- Juken Sentai Gekiranger: The team appears alongside a giant panda the pirates push out of the way: the season is notable for both it's usage of animal-based martial arts as well as for its influence from Chinese martial arts movies.
- Engine Sentai Go-Onger: The team drive by on animated versions of their mecha; the individual mechs this season are notable not just for being sentient beings but also having an "animated" version of themselves which constantly interact with the main heroes.
- Samurai Sentai Shinkenger: Joe switches swords with ShinkenBlue; the team's samurai motif makes them all sword users like Joe himself.
- Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Joe turns into a Gosei Card; the team's main battle motif is the usage of cards which they use to activate their weapons and mechs.

Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle (movie version)
In Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, the song is used for the ending in an abridged version that lists all the teams and then only use the end of the first segment of the song.

- Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger: Marvelous, Joe, Luka and Don become the Abaranger; Ahim attempts to pose but gives up while still Gokai Pink. (while a five-man team, AbareKiller is treated as a Sixth Ranger and Ahim's "representative" is a civilian in a self-made costume)

Korean version (Captain Force)
The Korean dub of Gokaiger entitled Power Rangers Captain Force, which aired in South Korea, featured a Korean version of Super Sentai Hero Getter. However, only the third and last section of the song, showcasing the teams from Gaoranger to Goseiger, is translated, even though all 34 Sentai are still included in the series. The names of the Sentai are translated into the Korean versions which were released under the Power Rangers title (Gaoranger - Jungle Force, Hurricaneger - Ninja Storm, Abaranger - Dino Thunder, Dekaranger - SPD, Magiranger - Magic Force, Boukenger - Treasure Force, Gekiranger - Wild Spirits, Go-Onger - Engine Force, Shinkenger - Blade Force, Goseiger - Miracle Force). Despite this, Captain Force still uses a rotation of three ending sequences just as Gokaiger does, so the Korean version of the Gaoranger to Goseiger section is also played over the first sequence (Gorenger to Liveman) and the second sequence (Turboranger to Timeranger).
However, in the Korean dub of the movie Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle(titled as 파워레인저 캡틴포스 vs 미라클포스 199 히어로 대결전), Super Sentai Hero Getter~199 Version also got dubbed, featuring all 35 sentais.
Notes
- Starting Hurricaneger, each lyric that represents the specific Super Sentai was sing by the individual artists who performed that series' opening theme song.
- If one were to look closely at the keys attacking Don in the main ending, they are his Gokai Green key as well as the keys for the first five Green Rangers: Midorenger, Clover King, DenziGreen, Green Two and Green Flash
- The footage from the end of Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle's ending is used in Super Sentai Hero Getter 2016, but adjusted/updated to remove the gags, such as a new shot of Sun Vulcan only showing the three member team (without Don or Ahim) and Abaranger only showing the four member team (without Ahim), as well as add footage of the Gokaigers Gokai-Changed into the powers of their five successors.
