Hero Profile: Gavan

This month the movie Gokaiger vs. Gavan premieres in Japan, but who is Gavan?

Earth is invaded by the Makuu Empire, led by Don Horror, who had first destroyed a space colony near Earth. Don Horror wants to dominate the whole universe and sends spaceships to create panic on Earth. While the Makuu is trying to impose its domination, Space Sheriff Gavan from the Galactic Union Patrol, arrives in his spaceship, the Dolgiran. He is the son of Tamiko Ichijouji and Voicer. When needed, he is teleported via a silver chrome combat suit using the Jouchaku process which consists of fusing Granium particles to Gavan's body. He is an accomplished athlete and has various weapons at his disposal. On Earth, he uses the name Retsu Ichijoji.

He comes from the Bird Planet, the planet where Space Sheriffs are trained and where they are stationed while on call. Gavan is asked to defend the Earth, which is his mother's planet of origin. Gavan is helped by Mimi, the daughter of Commander Qom, and is given information by Qom, assisted by Marin on his home planet. Gavan goes to Earth to defend it against Don Horror and his devilish schemes. He settles on Earth incognito, using his actual human name, Retsu Ichijouji; he takes a job at the Avalon Youth Club in Japan. In the Uchuu Keiji Crossover, Gavan announces to Sharivan and Shaider that he has proposed to Mimi.

 He has been played by Kenji Oba, he has played this role in six different shows or movies. First in Uchû keiji Gyaban (Space Sherrif Gavan) and then later in Sharivan and Shaider. In the special Space Cop Shaider: Pursuit! Shigi Shigi Abduction Plan in 1985. Then in one episode of Chojinki Metalder in 1987 and World Ninja War Jiraiya in 1988. And finally Gokaiger vs. Gavan in 2012 where he plays the dual roles of Ichijouji Retsu and Shirou Akebono from Battle Fever J and Denjiman respectively.

VIDEO: Power Rangers Samurai in the Rose Bowl Parade

From Univision, basically they say that this is the second time they participate (not true) and the lady says she liked them since she was little and that she always liked Mike. The lady host said she was a fan long time ago--the male announcer commented that when PR came out she wouldn't had been the age of a kid. She said she 'liked' Mike back in the day. So basically I think she has a paper telling her the names. They name all six Rangers correctly (unlike Hallmark channel who said the Ranger names were Jayden, Mike, Kevin, Emily, Mia and Garcia) and have the background music. Saban partially owns Univision.

I only managed to get HGTV:

ABC skipped the float, I didn't see the NBC or Hallmark one live on Television, but someone has posted the Hallmark and NBC ones online, I don't feel right linking them.

Pictures:

Don't Forget Tournament of Roses Parade tomorrow!

 

 This morning I woke up at 11am freaking out I missed the parade but didn't see it on TV. So I find out the actual parade is tomorrow January 2nd, starts at 8am in California Pacific time. For us Eastern timers, it is at 11am. You can watch on ABC, NBC or HGTV. The Power Rangers Samurai will have their own float for the first time.

From CoinOptv:

NEW YEAR GREETINGS!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (says kamen rider ichigo)

May you have the strength to start your ranger training, and keep it up for more than 2 weeks.

But seriously, jokes aside, have a morphinomenal new year!

Specific or Significant Gokai Changes

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 Like the All-color changes, here are some (not all) changes (I'm not counting Go-On Wings because of its frequency of usage) that were not just one team, but had a meaning.

 In Episode 12, the four Gokaiger sans Blue became different members of different teams fighting individually (Luka became MegaYellow and YellowMask, Marvelous became Ryuranger and BoukenRed, Ahim became DenjiPink and Pink Flash, Don became MidoRanger and OhGreen), but as a team, they were TimePink, Green Sai, HurricaneRed, and AbareYellow.

 In Episode 17, GokaiYellow became MegaSilver, Green became Dragon Ranger, Red became Time Fire, Pink became AbareKiller and Blue became MagiShine. The Gokaiger became Sixth Rangers before GokaiSilver was known to them.

 In Episode 23, in honor of the sibling team GoGoFive, Ahim and Luka became FivePink and FiveYellow, who were sisters.

 In Episode 23, Ahim became MagiPink and Luka became MagiYellow; they were siblings: brother and sister.

 In Episode 25, in honor of the trio of Hurricanger, Red, Yellow and Blue became Liveman.

  In Episode 25, in honor of the trio of Hurricanger, Yellow, Red, and Blue became Abaranger.

In Episode 29, Ahim was embarrassed to become AbarePink!

 

 In Episode 37, they used the Extra Hero keys for the first time. Ahim became DekaSwan, Don became Signalman, Marvelous became Wolzard Fire, Gai became Kuro Kishi (proving that he can use any key using the GokaiPhone) and Luka became Zuuban.

 In Episode 41, Ahim changed with each member into different duos. She became Go-On Silver and Gai became Go-On Gold, finally, after had becoming Go-On Wings.

 

In Episode 41, Don became KabutoRaijer and Ahim became Kuwagata Raijer.

 In Episode 41, Joe became DekaMaster and Ahim became DekaSwan.

 

In Episode 41, Marvelous became Shinken Red, and Ahim became Princess Shinken Red.

 

Also Luka became GoseiYellow and Ahim became GoseiPink.

 In Episode 44, Gokai Silver became Gokai Christmas.

 

For Episode 45, they transform into Lion-based Rangers. Ahim as GingaRed, Don as Shishiranger, Gai as GoseiKnight, Marvelous as GaoRed, Joe as Go-On Blue, and Luka as Yellow Lion.

 In Episode 49, the Gokaiger become members that gave their approval for their powers that Basco had stolen but they got back. Ahim as Green Flash, Don as Change Gryphon, Marvelous as VulEagle, Joe as Blue Mask, and Luka as FiveYellow.

One Color Changes in Gokaiger

 First 5 Red Change in Goseiger vs. Shinkenger and Episode 40

Goukai Yellow became Geki Red, Goukai Blue became Bouken Red, Goukai Red became Go-On Red, Goukai Green became Deka Red and Goukai Pink became Magi Red.

Second 5 Red Change in Episode 2

 6 Red Change in Gokaiger vs. Gavan

Silver becomes TimeFire, Yellow becomes MagiRed, Green becomes OhRed, Red becomes Akaranger, Blue becomes Red Racer and Pink becomes Princess Shinken Red

5 Red Change in Stageshow #1

In a stageshow early when Gokaiger started and a couple other stageshows. Gokai Yellow as Deka Red, no skirt of course and Gokai Pink as Shinken Red.

5 Red Change in Stageshow #2

Gokai Red as ChangeDragon, Green is MagiRed, Blue is GingaRed, Yellow is Shinken Red and Pink is DekaRed.

5 Red Change in Stageshow #3

In another stage show, it was around June 25th (I found it on someone's Blog in Japanese), Gokai Yellow becomes Shinken Red and Gokai Pink becomes Go-On Red. I am guessing Green is Geki Red and Blue is Gosei Red.

Three Black Change in Episode 3

GokaiPink became Go-On Black,  GokaiYellow became Ninja Black and Blue became Abareblack.

 Three White Change in Episode 3

Blue was Big One, Yellow was GaoWhite and Pink was WhiteSwan.

 6 Silver Change in Episode 18

In Episode 18, Pink becomes Go-On Silver, Green became GaoSilver, GokaiSilver, Red became BoukenSilver (first time he became a non-Red), Blue became GoseiKnight (which is considered Silver by Toei), and Yellow became MegaSilver.

6 Green Change in Episode 43

 In Episode 43, they make an all-green change. Ahim becomes Green Flash, Gai became Shurikenger, Don became MidoRanger, Marvelous become DenjiGreen, Joe became ShinkenGreen, Luka becomes Shishi Ranger, with a skirt

6 Yellow Change in Episode 44

Pink became GoseiYellow, Green became HurricaneYellow, Silver became KirinRanger, Yellow became BoukenYellow, Red became GaoYellow and Blue became Tiger Ranger.

6 Blue Change in Episode 45

Pink becomes MagiBlue, Yellow becomes Blue Dolphin, Blue becomes ShinkenBlue, Red becomes GoseiBlue, Silver becomes AoRanger, and Green becomes TimeBlue.

6 Pink Change in Gokaiger Vs Gavan

 In Gokaiger vs. Gavan, we don't know who is everyone because the movie hasn't premiered yet. GokaiYellow becomes Bouken Pink and GokaiPink is Mega Pink and I think Gokai Red is Pteraranger. Lots of people have been waiting for this and thought maybe it was not going to happen because modern social convention in US and Japan (and many other countries), pink is thought of being a girl's color (which I think is silly). Other people still think it is wrong. 

6 White Change in Gokaiger Vs Gavan

In Gokaiger vs. Gavan, Gokai Yellow as Gao White, Gokai Pink as Geki Chopper and I think that Gokai Silver is Kibaranger, Gokai Red is Big One, Gokai Blue is Deka Break and Gokai Green is AbareKiller, not sure.

All they are missing is an 6 Black change and an All-Gold change (like 4).
