Goukaiger Helmets

There has been talk about the shape of the visors of the new 2011 Super Sentai. Some say they look like other past Rangers, especially of modern ones (Hurricanger, Magiranger, Abaranger, etc.). But I see more similarity to Goranger. The more obvious one being Go-kai Pink and Momo Ranger, the heart shape on the helmet. Now, the visors are not obviously just like them, but they do at least have some similarities. Go-kai Red definitely looks a bit like Aka Ranger, a little more squarish and modern, but not as round as Aka Ranger. Now Go-kai Green doesn't look too much like Mido Ranger, it is not much like a 'V.' The Go-kai Green does do look a bit like a flatter boomerang. But Go-aki Yellow looks a bit more like Mido Ranger visor but rounder.

Go-kai Green's visor is a straight line or round as Ki Ranger's visor but it is closer than the Go-kai Yellow. Go-kai Blue looks a bit like Ao Ranger, but the original visor, the pointy end goes north and Go-kai Blue's point goes upwards. So they are not super super obvious or close, but you got to admit they are a bit alike. It would make sense that the visors looked a bit similar, as the Goranger are the original Sentai. Disagree with me all you want. Oh yeah, it is also true they have collars, but the Goranger had capes, so maybe it is why I overlooked it.

This blog called simply White Ranger

I don't know if it is because this person's first language is not English, but I found this blog while looking for pictures through google and found he had a lot of information wrong.

He even copied some things I had said like:
One of the rare male heroes to have done an adult film. He filmed it before he filmed Gaoranger but it came out after Gaoranger ended. I personally saw the film, it was more about story than anything. He only got shirtless and the sex scenes were short. I never knew the name in English and the tape belonged to a friend.

Also saying that Bouken Yellow was male:

Other than copying pictures from my website and blog, I have to admit he does have some good pictures from other places and also has interesting posts of Taiwanese and Chinese tokusatsus. I admit I copy from time to time from Wikipedia but I do quote and say when it is from other people's blogs and writings. I put them in Italics and say where it is from. Also I rarely use other people's opinions. I would just like some acknowledgment or a heads up.

Gaoranger Without Helmets Pictures

For sakura (fan/blog reader), who has been asking me for these pictures. I got these from my old hard drive which has some problems, so it is very very difficult to get the files from said hard drive. Here are pictures from the final Gaoranger book, with pictures of the Gaorangers without helmets. Unfortunately my picture of Silver has a file problem, it now has a strange tint. I cropped it because the rest looked horrible. These photos were used for posters but I do not have the pictures to all the posters (only White).

Unfortunately my picture of Silver has a file problem, it now has a strange tint. I cropped it because the rest looked horrible. I might be able to get the original scan from my site partner Mike but I know its in a back hard drive he has in storage.

Hero Profile: Demon Hunter Sieg and Demon Hunter Jeanne

GoGoV had no sixth Ranger but they did have another hero in their movie in 1999.
Jiku / Demon Hunter Sieg
Appeared only in GoGo Five: The Movie, Juki was last of a people who had fought and defeated the Juuma, who were mostly exterminated by Golmois. Only Sieg survived and wanted revenge. He pursued Golomis to Earth and encountered the GoGoV, whom he blamed for saving the people in the crossfire instead of fighting Golmois. It took Kyoko, who reminded him of his superior officer Riria, to remember what he was fighting for. He wielded the SiegShot, SiegSword and SiegBlaster. When he was killed by Golomois, he gave Kyoko the gem that held the Demon Hunter powers in it. Transformed with his jewel by shouting "Sieg, Transform!" Oh and he was played by the same actor that played Ryuranger of Dairanger.

Sieg-Jeanne
In the GoGoV Series, Kyoko Hayase was a shuttle pilot who wanted to be part of GoGoV but ondo Tatsumi only designed the team for five people. In the GoGo V Movie , she briefly gained the SiegTector armor from Sieg before he died. Using the power, she became Sieg-Jeanne, transforming with the call of "Sieg, Transform!", armed with the SiegBlaster. By transferring all the Demon Hunter powers to Victory Robo, she helped the GoGo V destroy Golomois.

Kyoko happen to look like a teammate of Jiku's.






Special Trading cards for the movie...

New Poll: Who would you count as part as the 200 heroes of Sentai? (Pick Ten)

DISCLAIMER: I had to do the poll again in order to add Gosei Green.
The following are warriors that may or may not be classified under the 200 Super Sentai heroes. That I counted, there are 185 that can officially can be considered main heroes. Some of the following have received toys and some haven't, some only appeared in one episode or in a movie, which others appeared in various episodes. Some were villains that help fight along good one or twice. Others do not look like the rest of the team, have no human form and are considered more as auxiliary warriors, but not Rangers.

1. Mask X-1:
   Appeared in one Episode
   
2. Ninjaman:
   Does not have human form nor looks like the other; had toy
3. Gunmajin:
   Does not have human form nor looks like the others; had toy
4. Signal Man:
   Doesn't have human form nor looks like the others; had toy
5. VRV Master:
   Appeared rarely, didn't look like the others; no toy in Japan
6. White Racer:

13. Deka Gold:

14. Aka Red:
    no team, appeared in 30th anniversary special
    The rumor with AkaRed was
    A Space Emprie invades the Earth. AkaRed leads the 34 Legendary Super Sentai against them, and they are able to push back the empire, by concentrating and combining their powers. However, there is a catch, by concentrating their powers, the rangers loose their powers. The Space Empire returns, and begins its invasion again. Captain Marvelous then appears, who leads a team known as the Go-Kaiger to Earth in search of treasure, known as the "Ranger Keys".
    
    
15. Zuuban:
    didn't look like the others and had no human form
16. Rio:
    mainly a villain; had toy
17. Mele:

18. Female Shinken Red:

19. Gosei Green:

20. Goukaiger as part of the 200:
    it is said past 200 heroes
21. Replacement Rangers:
    (Kiranger, Miss America, Battle Cossack, Vul Eagle, Yellow Four)
22. Bio Hunter Silve, mainly a villain
23. Titanium Ranger, from Power Rangers; never appeared in Sentai

The main ones only make 185, we need at least 15.
