This article is about a/an series entry (the 35th) in the Super Sentai series.
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャー Kaizoku Sentai Gōkaijā, translated into English as Pirate Squadron Heroic Ranger) is the 35th season of the Super Sentai series and celebrates the 35th Anniversary of the franchise. It premiered on TV Asahi February 13, 2011, joining Kamen Rider OOO
Its footage and anniversary theme was then adapted into the second season of the 20th Anniversary Power Rangers season, Power Rangers Megaforce, the 2014 Power Rangers Series Power Rangers Super Megaforce.
The average ratings of the series were 5.0%.[1]

Development
For the 35th Sentai series, Toei decided to go big with a major series that acknowledged the past while developing something new and interesting. Following on their success of Kamen Rider Decade
The original intent was to have only teams who were going to give a notable power that would help the Gokaigers appear in a cameo, most notably the previous four teams and several other notable teams, as well as a film with several others appearing in a cameo. However, the tragedy of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011, lead to a major outcry to create a series that helped people cope with the tragedies and inspire hope to all people. After one weird fluke, Sentai alumni appeared in many of the episodes in response, unexpectedly leading to changes of story preventing more character development but ultimately letting one actor from all 34 previous series appear throughout the entire series’ run.
[external_link offset=1]Plot
“The 34 Super Sentai who have protected the smiles of the people! They lost their powers fighting the Space Empire Zangyack, but their powers have been inherited by these unbelievable rogues!“ |
―Narrator[src] |
“These youths travel the great seas of space searching for adventure and romance. They revolt against Space Empire Zangyack. These hearty fellows proudly bear the pirate name! And their name is…“ |
―Narrator[src] |
The Gokaigers use the “lost” powers of the 34 previous Super Sentai teams to fight the evil Universal Empire Zangyack, whose first wave of invasion forces were completely defeated by the older teams until they arrive with reinforcements and invade the Earth once more, and they must visit the past 34 teams to obtain more power to fight against the ever-determined Zangyack.
As they continue collecting more Greater Powers, the Gokai Crew runs into Marvelous’ ex-crew mate, Basco, who is also looking for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, but he wants it all for himself. To that end, he betrayed his old crew and joined up with the Zangyack. He opposes the Gokaigers with his own set of Rangers Keys and his partner Sally, a monkey-like alien who can summon Giant Battle Pseudo-Lifeforms.
Eventually, Gai Ikari, an Earthling, joins the crew as the newest Gokaiger, Gokai Silver, after obtaining his gear from three former Sentai heroes (Burai, Naoto Takizawa, and Mikoto Nakadai) and proving himself worthy of being a Gokaiger. As a Sentai Fanboy, his knowledge of past Super Sentai teams aids the Gokaigers in their fight against the Zangyack Empire and Basco.

Episodes

For the first time since Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, the episodes of this season have no special distinction and are merely “episodes” (although Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger also referred to episodes as “episodes”, they spelled out the entire word in English and had a period at the end, thus making them “Episode.”).

- Ending theme
The series’ ending theme “Super Sentai Hero Getter” lists off all of the Super Sentai series, making reference to their songs and motifs, with each of the three verses of the song being played in rotation. The first verse covers Himitsu Sentai Gorenger through Choujuu Sentai Liveman, which all aired in the Shōwa period; the second covers Kousoku Sentai Turboranger through Mirai Sentai Timeranger, which all aired through the remainder of the 20th century; and the last one covers Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger through Tensou Sentai Goseiger, which were all broadcast in the 21st century. The song is remixed into “Super Sentai Hero Getter ~ 199 ver.” from their first team-up movie (eliminating all but one of the choruses) and then “Super Sentai Hero Getter ~Now & Forever Ver.~” in the final episode, the latter remix covering Gokaiger and Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.

Notes
The 35th Anniversary Super Sentai Series logo
- The ending theme, Super Sentai Hero Getter, is an updated version of the 25th Anniversary theme, Super Sentai Tamashii. The former introduces Gorenger through Gokaiger, while the latter introduced Gorenger through Gaoranger. Also in the ending theme, the singers who originally sang for the more recent Sentai series’ opening theme rap the series’ line.
- This is the first season to feature the Sixth Ranger at the end of the opening theme to stand as formation with the core team.
- This season officially acknowledges the “Vs. Movies” as being fully canon to their related Sentai. Many of these films have been treated as such by Toei in the context of them being a sequel or epilogue event to their related Sentai on top of the crossover, but due to continuity errors, this is often disregarded by fans.
- During most tribute episodes, when the Gokaigers transform into the respective team an instrumental version of that team’s opening theme is played. The tribute episodes for Gekiranger, Jetman, Ohranger, and Battle Fever J are the only exceptions to this.
- This is the first series to feature a Christmas-themed Ranger (Gokai Christmas). However, this was only an alternate form of one of the Rangers.
- The main cast for this season has appeared in more movies than any other season. The Gokaigers first debuted in Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku, and then appeared in the VS movie Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, their own movie Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger the Movie: The Flying Ghost Ship, the first cross-franchise movie Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Space Sheriff Gavan: The Movie
, and appeared in the second cross-franchise movie Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen . - This is the first Sentai series to have a pirate ship as a mech.
- During the transformation sequence, the Roman numeral for 35 is seen, “XXXV”.
- According to an interview, the number of returning legends in Gokaiger was not going to extend to the entire scope of the franchise. In the original plan, the only series who were going to give mecha or mecha formations were going to have major focus and cameos, which would have made the Legends only extend to every series from Gaoranger to Goseiger. Gekiranger was part of this group (even though their Greater Power did not necessarily have a mech), but Boukenger was not included, nor was any series prior to Gaoranger.
- This is the first season where all rangers debut in a movie, as the main 5 made their debut in Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku and Gokai Silver made his debut in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle.
- This is the first series to get a Blu-Ray release.
- This is the only series since the start of the Come Back movies trend that did not have one. One was planned, but ultimately canceled after production of the series and first movie were delayed following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[6]
- A spin-off series called Kaizoku-ban Sentai Gokaiger was planned, but was later turned into Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger.[Citation needed]
