This article is about a special event in the Super Sentai series. |
The Super Sentai Versus Series Theater was a special event on TV Asahi during the run of Tensou Sentai Goseiger, airing an hour before. This show was a compilation of thirteen Super Sentai crossover movies in half-hour parts (from Chouriki Sentai Ohranger: Ole vs. Kakuranger through Juken Sentai Gekiranger vs. Boukenger) as well as Kyukyu Sentai GoGo-V the Movie: Sudden Shock! A New Warrior; all broken into half-hour parts. (usually two-parts; Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai had three) The movies had commentary at the beginning and end by the Goseiger about the teams and the storylines within the movies and along with that, they also talk about what's coming up on their show.

Notes
- A common trend regarding the Goseiger commentary was the cosplaying of the Goseiger into various characters through Super Sentai, possibly foreshadowing the "changes" that would occur in the next season. The cosplaying were as follows:
- Alata: Kenta Date, Ryouma, Matoi Tatsumi, Kakeru Shishi, Yousuke Shiina, Ryouga Hakua, Banban "Ban" Akaza, Satoru Akashi
- Eri: Miku Imamura, Saya, Matsuri Tatsumi, Sae Taiga, First Spear, Furabiijo, Mikoto Nakadai, Houka Ozu, Sakura Nishihori
- Agri: Kouichirou Endou, Hayate, Shou Tatsumi, Soutarou Ushigome, Kouta Bitou, Asuka, Sen'ichi "Sen-chan" Enari, Masumi Inou
- Moune: Chisato Jougasaki, Hikaru, Daimon Tatsumi, Gaku Washio, Fourth Spear, Wendinu, Ranru Itsuki, Urara Ozu, Natsuki Mamiya
- Hyde: Shun Namiki, Gouki, Nagare Tatsumi, Kai Samezu, Nanami Nono, Yukito Sanjyou, Houji "Hoji" Tomasu, AkaRed, Souta Mogami
- In the cosplaying, Alata is the only Goseiger who kept the same color, gender and alignment through all of his identities. (Red, male, hero)
- Eri is notable for staying either pink or white in her designations, but is also notable for having the most villain cosplaying at two. (although Mikoto does eventually become a hero, AbareKiller at the time of Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger was purely a villain) Mikoto is also her only male identity.
- Agri completely stayed in his gender and alignment, but had only one time as a color outside black/green: when playing Kouta of Hurricaneger. (due to the males playing the main team and the females playing the female Spears of the Jajanka) Also, while the cosplaying usually occured after the movie segment, he did dress in Asuka's shirt early when the team was going to do Abaranger.
- Moune altered the most in her genders, playing three male Yellows amidst all her female characters. She also cosplayed as nearly every Yellow of the teams except with Hurricaneger, with Urara of Magiranger the only color change due to the female alliance with Magiranger when the males chose Dekaranger. She also had one villain during the Hurricaneger cosplay as Wendinu.
- Outside his cameo as AkaRed, Hyde played nearly every blue of the cosplaying except Urara, including (and most embarrassingly) wearing the female outfit for Hurricaneger's Nanami, his only gender change.
- Another common gag is the appearance of a couple Sentai actors in multiple series being seen as "familiar" to the Goseiger.
- After seeing him in both Ohranger movies, Alata had a suspicion that the "old man" in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai was Chief Counsellor Naoyuki Miura, prior to his revelation of being Soukichi Banba (Big One) of J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai. (both of whom were played by actor Hiroshi Miyauchi)
- Hyde likewise feels suspicion of Dekaranger's Sen-chan and his similarity towards his former Seaick partner Magis. (both were played by actor Yousuke Itou)
- The only non-Goseiger character to appear in the specials was Shinkenger's Daigoyou, who appeared to advertise The Return of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger: Special Act.
- During the Super Sentai VS Theater programming on December 26, 2010, the next series, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, was officially announced in a commercial.
- For some odd reason, Hyde claimed that J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai aired in 1976, when it aired in 1977.
