Veteran Rangers that return for an Anniversary

Here are group of instances when past heroes came back to fight a new force. I am not counting Super Sentai World, I am talking about when one or two from each team come back, the individual, not the whole team.

Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
In the teamup special that came out in August of 2001, three heroes from the past four years (not including a Timeranger) along with two from the past other decades. Go Yellow (1999), Ginga Blue (1998), Mega Pink (1997), Red Falcon from Liveman (1989), and Big One from JAKQ (1977). It was mostly like a clip show but each hero provided guidance to each Gaoranger. They fought an ancient Org, Rakushaasa. This was for the 25th anniversary.

"Forever Red"
Power Rangers Wild Force
A special episode of Power Rangers in 2002, the first teamup of its kind. It happened in Sentai before, but those were short specials, you never saw the actor's faces. They fought against the Machine Empire and Serpentra but the suits were of the Beetleborgs as many of the Machine costumes were without repair. Many fans disliked that they used a bike to destroy Serpentra but it was the contract with Bandai America to promote the bike that lead to that decision. This was for the 10th anniversary.

Boukenger vs. Super Sentai
For the teamup special in 2006 instead of having Magiranger versus Boukenger, they did like Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai and brought a member or two from old teams back. Magi Yellow (2005), Magi Shine (2005), Deka Break (2004), Abare Black (2003), and Hurricane Blue (2002). There was no Red Ranger from past teams except for Aka Red, a special hero only for the special. Deka Break and Magi Shine were both sixth Rangers, Magi Shine appeared transformed in the end. They all fought against a new monster named Chornos and past villains. This was for the 30th anniversary.

"Once A Ranger Part 1 & 2"
Power Rangers Operation Overdrive
In a two-parter in 2007, they did like Gaoranger and brought individual Rangers back from past seasons and one from the decade before. MMPR Black (1994-1995), Blue Wind Ranger (2003), Yellow Dino Ranger (2004), SPD Red (2005), and Mystic Green (2006). They chose different rangers than Boukenger, except for Blue, which was the same. Unlike Gaoranger and Boukenger, there were two females in this team. They fought against Thrax, son of Zedd and Rita. It was rumored that they wanted Jack in the team but because the actor Brandon Jay McLaren dated the Emma Lahana (Kira) and had recently broken up, he chose not to return. This was for the 15th anniversary.

I am sure we will get another teamup like this either this year or next year in Super Sentai. I hope they continue this tradition.

Who I think they will pick for the next anniversary team-up is Gosei Red, Shinken Pink, Go-On Green, and Geki Blue. I would pick Gosei Black, Shinken Pink, Go-On Silver, Geki Violet and female Shinken Red.
