More on Gokaiger as past Sentai


These photographs of a book were found online by Dukemon22. Someone in Japan took the pictures and posted them on a board. I do not have this book nor did I provide the pictures.

'Goranger,' JAKQ, 'Bioman' and Changeman

'Battle Fever J,' 'Denjiman,' Flashman, and Maskman

'Dynaman,' Fiveman and Megaranger

'Sun Vulcan,' 'Goggle V,' 'Liveman,' and 'Turboranger'

'Jetman,' 'Zyuranger,' 'Gingaman' and 'GoGoV'

'Dairanger' and 'Kakuranger'

Ohranger, Carranger, 'Timeranger'

'Hurricanger,' Abaranger, Boukenger and 'Gekiranger'

'Timeranger' (again), 'Gaoranger', Dekaranger and 'Magiranger'

'Go-Onger', Shinkenger and Gosegier

I can't stop thinking about this. There is 26 gender changes. Goukai Green sacrifices his color 17 times--15 for Black, one for Violet and once for 'Crimson'. Goukai Pink sacrifices her color of pink six times---thrice (thanks Conan) for White, twice for Black, and once for 'Navy.' Goukai Yellow sacrifices her color three times--twice for White and once for Orange. Goukai Blue changes shade four times.

There are 21 teams that were changed, 2 teams with three members completely different costumes (Liveman and Hurricanger), 17 teams with only one member changed and 2 teams with two members changed. 13 teams left unchanged. I think they changed the skirts (removing or adding) to give it a little flair, to differentiate from the other seasons. This series is different enough as it is the first one to ever do this in Sentai at least, but for some of the footage not to be mistaken as the sentai it is meant to represent in many years in the future. To give it, its own 'pirated' style. I love the idea. I hope, wish and pray we see these changes in some form of merchandise, if not in toys, at least in Cards, T-shirts, posters, key chains, candy toy, chibi toys or something.

It's hard to accept Blue Dolphin and Blue Swan as men, as well as Yellow Lion and Yellow Owl as girls after seeing the original shows they were in. It almost makes me wish that Yellow and Blue would've switched colors in those instances, but I guess I'll get used to it.

It's also odd to see Tiger Ranger with skirts (along with all the other male Yellow Rangers with female counterparts in Power Rangers) after being used to seeing Trini/Aisha without one in Mighty Morphin.

On the other hand, it's cool to see a couple of female Black Rangers for once, even if they're just counterparts of past Sentai Warriors to make up for the lack of Pink in those teams. It almost makes me wonder what Mighty Morphin would've been if Adam became the second Yellow Ranger and Aisha the second Black Ranger.

I might also add that it's disappointing to see that Goukai Green doesn't turn into the Dragon Ranger from Zyuranger, but I saw that coming. I suspected that none of the five main Goukaiger would be turning into Sixth Rangers.

Lavendar, kindly asking... where did you get the scans pics from? Did you get the actual magazine? If so, do you if there is a way I can order that!?!?

Tiger Ranger having a skirt? Sounds like good news to Power Ranger fans. LOL

How come no AbareKiller? GekiChopper looks hot as a girl

Jon B said...

Pretty cool. It was cool to see how Yellow Warriors who were male but got turned to female Power Rangers would look if they had followed Power Rangers' genders. It feels like a tribute to Power Rangers without it being overt (or, a very likely scenario, intended :P).

It was also cool to see male female Warriors. Those Goukaiger just a little more interesting. The gender change teams will definitely look more interesting than the teams who didn't change, just because those version of the teams we already seen (obviously :)). Should be interesting.

I really hope they don't blow away the honor of Geki Chopper and Magi Yellow

Luca said...

Okay, if there's any color I associate with male, it's black.

i don't really like the yellow and blue gender change. offtopic: rangercentral timeline for proo not updated

Mugen said...

That for sure mixes up things a bit, which is good. But Pink totally should become AbareKiller for Abaranger. That is my only complain about it. Seriously, they already sort of did that for the VS Theater.

Would you like to scan these pics one by one for better quality picture? I love them very much (Helena Yap)

Lavender Ranger said...

Anonymous, I dont have the book, these pictures are from the web, whoever posted them doesnt have a scanner. We gotta wait until someone scans them.

Mark said...

I don't care what anyone else thinks. This season will be, dare I say, marvelous.

lio_convoy said...

I agree with Lavendar I am so hoping they release some of the old figures as females.

James Spiring said...

Well Tiger Ranger already got released with a skirt,in the MMPR2010 toyline! :)

why denji black change color into denji green?

Anonymous said...

Because there is no "Denzi Black". You're probably confusing Denziman with another Sentai.
