The History of the Ranger Central Site
Every so often explain how I came to work on Ranger Central and how it exists. It is one site, along with Rangerboard, Rovang's Writer's Guide to the Power Rangers Universe and Grnrngr.com that has lasted so long. I, Lavender Ranger, found out about Sentai in 1997 (thanks to Ranger Central) and made my own webpage in 1999 initially called Super Sentai/Power Rangers Fansite. Ray, 'ZyuRay' on Rangerboard, created Power Rangers Central (www.rangercentral.com) around 1996 or 1997, I'm not sure, I've never e-mailed or chatted with him. So how did I come to be co-webmaster if I never had contact with him?

Around Dino Thunder or SPD, Ray gave his site away to Mike, just to archive. Mike did want to archive but I wanted to expand. We got Poweranimals to help as well. I didn't really did things for PRC until 2007, I mostly covered Supersentai.com/Sentai Time Capsule. I basically wrote the episode guides for Operation Overdrive and RPM, and translated the whole PRC site in Spanish. Mike expanded into Toku Cental and Kamen Rider Legacy sites about two years ago and I helped write for that stuff (mostly wikipedia I know). Anyway that's how I got involved with PRC. So now Mike merged all the sites together into PRCU in order to make things easier and we can treat the whole site as one. And yes, many have complained about the name--- that Kamen Rider is not Power Rangers and all the other Toku. But we are just using it as an umbrella term.

Gokaiger Stageshows
These are from various stageshows from various blogs and websites in Japanese. Some have a date and some didn't, so if you don't see the date it is because I don't know. Some pics I don't know what site I got it from either.

Guest Stars for possible Gokaiger adaption?
UPDATED 9/12/11
They don't necessarily have to get these actors, they an get other colors depending on the schedules of the Power Ranger actors (since we don't see most of these transformed) or if they can ship them to New Zealand. Most likely they will do Red Rangers since Red is like the representative of both franchises. I just thought it would be fun.

Episode 25 of Gokaiger features the three Hurricanger transforming, so the producers would have to get all 3 Ninja Storm actors or skip the two episodes. They all reside in New Zealand and Australia, so it might be easy to get them.
Gai/Black Condor from Jetman appears in Episode 28, Jetman was not adapted into Power Rangers---it was actually the series that aired before Zyuranger, the one that became MMPR. If the producers don't plan to use the non-PR adapted Sentai, they can just skip this episode, even though this is a beloved one from Sentai fans all over the world. And if they do choose to use it, they can get any new actor. Anyway, it is not uncommon for Power Ranger producers to skip Sentai episodes.
In Episode 29, we see AbareBlue and Emri a.k.a. AbarePink, but since there was no AbarePink in Power Rangers, I guess they can get Ethan, Blue Dino Ranger. Ethan's actor is North American so they would have to ship him over. Abare Blue came in to tell the Gokaiger of a power that AbareKiller didn't mention to combine both of their robots. Ethan can do the same. They might have to cut out the AbarePink stuff since it didn't exist in Dino Thunder (it existed in SPD).
Episode 30 has Yellow Lion of Liveman, they can either skip the episode or use some of the footage, sans the Liveman stuff (which may be hard because the rangers not only become Liveman but also Denjiman).
In Episode 31, we are to expect OhPink and OhRed. I don't think fans want Tommy for Red Zeo Ranger but we never know. They could bring both Tommy and Kat. Kat currently resides in the United States but she is from Australia, so I think she would be open to go to New Zealand, depending on her schedule.
Episode 35 will have Sosuke/Go-On Red because the Mechafalcon and since they had a RPM-Samurai teamup in November 2011, they claimed the Ranger Red voice was someone else but fans are sure it is Eka Derville (above) so I am sure htye can get him back.
Most Super Sentai series are 50 episodes long, so most likely Gokaiger will be too. Most Power Rangers seasons have been less than 40 and even if more than that, they skip many Sentai episodes. Samurai for example have already skipped 5 episodes. So skipping episodes of Old Sentai (28, 30) can be doable. I also see them skipping 8 (Spy monsters), 10 (Blue & Yellow card game), 13 (Pink kidnapped), 22 (shooting star promise) and 24 (Jellishito returns).
