The Super Sentai Strongest Battle (スーパー戦隊最強バトル!!,Sūpā Sentai Saikyō Batoru) was a tournament which was fought between 32 teams of five Sentai Rangers.
Rules
All participants are divided into teams of five, the teams taking part in a knockout tournament.
The participants from each team to take part on each match are previously decided, always in the same number from each.
A gemstone is placed in the site of the match and the team who takes it first wins.
According to Rita, the team who wins the tournament will have one wish granted.
In addition, the site of each match appears to be protected by a kind of magic barrier and all contact with the external world is cut. The participants also are prevented from summoning allies in the battle, like when Go-on Red failed to invoke Speedor.
No members of any Dinosaur-themed Sentai Teams participated in the tournament, they were represented only by the then upcoming Ryusoulger's Ryusoul Green and Ryusoul Black (who for an unspecified reason were forcefully summoned to Nemesis), who were not true participants.
Of the 160 characters participating in the tournament:
The Carrangers have their entire team roster, extra heroes included, for the first time since their show, unless Sentai Ranger WannabeRadietta Fanbelt is accounted for.
The Kakurangers have their entire team roster, extra heroes included, for the first time since their show.
For all members of Team Oddball, this occurs after the main events of their season:
After Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, because Yamato was capable of fusing all three modes - Eagle, Whale, and Gorilla - which he only learned in the final battle against Genis.
After Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, as Marvelous is shown both talking to Yamato in the middle of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger and recollecting Akaranger's Ranger key.
After Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, as Takaharu's wish to become New Last Ninja is what he want to become at the end of Ninninger's final episode.
After Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger, as Stinger is now Commander of the Rebellion and refers to Tsurugi as "President".
Whether this is before or after the "two years later" epilogue of the series is unknown.
After Ressha Sentai ToQger, as Kagura had visited the family restaurant before being returned to kid form but no longer had the overriding wish of wanting to go home were she to win the tournament.
Continuity is further complicated in that this series ignores dimensional barriers that previously existed while acknowledging related events. For example, Stinger and Kruger acknowledge that Shou Ronpou and other Kyuurangers have met the Dekarangers despite this only occuring by virtue of a wormhole connecting parallel Earths.
