Gokaiger promo week before and Navi ally parrot robot!

UPDATED 4/6/11 1AM EST
(pictures are small anyway so don't bother clicking on them expecting them to be bigger)







They have a treasure chest full of Ranger Keys. I think I see Red Hawk, Shinken Red, Geki Chopper, Bouken Red, Magi Pink, Red Ninja, Go Pink, Geki Blue (?) and Magi Blue. I envy the prop makers. They probably only made 50 or more keys, not all 167 keys (34 teams)--I think this because maybe they didn't have time to make all the keys and/or it would be overkill to ask the props department to make so many keys if not all will appear on screen at once. I figure when they send these keys cover to New Zealand for Power Rangers, that they have to sort them and take out any that aren't for Power Rangers. At first, I thought it would be hard for them since they aren't familiar with Sentai, but a lot of the stunt people are Japanese and know about Sentai, so they can help set them apart.

Super Sentai Red Rangers Passing the Torch Promo

This is a tradition I do not know how long has been going on, but after one series ends, right after the last episode, the current red ranger walks passed the newest and they shake hands or something, hence 'passing the torch.' It only last a few seconds and rarely contains any words.
Dekaranger to Magiranger
Happened in stark black background. They shake hands. Magi Red is noticeably a bit shorter.

Magiranger to Boukenger
They call each other. Magiranger outside and Boukenger in black background.

Boukenger to Gekiranger
Black background. They pat hands.

Go-Onger to Gekiranger
With red light and black background, their fists meet each other, Go-On Red with thumb up.

Go-Onger to Shinkenger
Outside, they race towards each other with their weapons.

Shinkenger to Goseiger
In black background with red and green lights. Gosei Red pats Shinkenger on his left shoulder. Gosei Red is noticeably shorter, as the new sit actor is shorter.

Goseiger to Gokaiger
Gokai Red drops in with a rope and high five in a black background with red lights and red mist.

Possible 7th hero Extra Hero that becomes Extra Heroes?

 (This was written in February 2011, before the Extra Hero Keys appeared)
Now that it has been established that the sixth Gokaiger is Gokai SILVER and that his henshin device includes the faces of 15 past 'sixth rangers' such as Dragon Ranger, Kibaranger, King Ranger, Mega Silver, Time Fire, Gao Silver, Shurikenger, Abare Killer, Deka Break, Magi Shine, Bouken Silver, Go-On Gold, Go-On Silver, Shinken Gold and Gosei Knight.

34 Past Red + 33 Past Heroes for Green + 32 Past Heroes for Pink + 34 Past Blue + 34 Past Yellow = 167 + 15 'Sixth Rangers' = 182 Past Heroes; they said 200 past heroes. If they count the Gokaiger, 182 + 6 Gokaiger = 188 (oops!).

18 heroes that could be counted that does not include Gokaiger to be 200.
1. Magne Senshi
2. Mask X-1
3. Ninjaman
4. Gunmajin
5. Singalman
6. VRV Master
7. Bull Black
8. Demon Hunter Seig (or Seig-Jenne)
9. Abare Pink (Since Pink didn't get to be AbareKiller, maybe as a joke she'll become Abare Pink--the suit Emire made)
10. Deka Master
11. Deka Swan
12. Deka Bright
13. MagiMother
14. Wolzard Fire
15. Zuuban
16. Rio (or Aka Red)
17. Mele (or Deka Gold)
18. Female Shinken Red
19. Gosei Green

I also think there could a 7th hero, an Extra Hero who becomes past extra heroes, maybe it excludes Deka Swan, Deka Bright, MagiMother, Magne and Mask X-1 and just the heavy armored ranger-like extra heroes like Ninjaman, Gunmajin, Singalman, VRV Master, Bull Black, Demon Hunter Seig, Wolzard Fire and Zuuban (9). Or maybe Demon Hunter Seig will not be included. I know people love Rio and Mele, but most likely they are counted as villains. If the villains do not become past villains, then maybe the Gokaiger in some form will become them.

1. Ninjaman
2. Gunmajin

3. Singalman
4. VRV Master
5. Bull Black
6. Demon Hunter Seig
7. Deka Master
8. Wolzard Fire
9. Zuuban

The following are most likely not to be included:
1. Magne Senshi
Because he appeared in only 1 episode (character in 2) and has not been spotlighted in the 30th Encyclopedia for Boukenger or the books (just in monsters).
10% chance to appear.
2. Mask X-1
He only appeared in 1 episode, but he was highlighted for sixth ranger in the 30th Encyclopedia for Boukenger.
50% chance to appear.
3. Demon Hunter Seig
He only appeared in a movie, not mentioned in Boukenger's 30th Encyclopedia.
40% chance to appear.
4. Deka Gold
Very very briefly appeared in movie, no merchandise and maybe not even really counts.
12% chance to appear.
5. Aka Red
Only appear in teamup special, he might appear on the show by rumors and it has now be confirmed that he will appear in the first episode of Gokaiger.
40% chance to appear.
6. Rio
More counted as villain.
50% chance to appear.
7. Mele
More counted as villain.
50% chance to appear.
8. Female Shinken Red
Could be counted as Goukai Pink turning into a skirted MagiRed and Goukai Yellow into a skirted GekiRed, so mabe one of the females will become Shinken Red.
50% chance to appear.
9. Gosei Green
We never saw his helmet, he barely barely appeared in a flashback. Chances are slim.
12% chance to appear.

Impatience Rewarded: Presenting Gokai Silver

UPDATED 2/6/11
Gokai Spear
I was impatiently looking for the Sixth Ranger info and a few minutes later rewarded with pics on the new sixth ranger. Gokai Silver that becomes "GokaiSilver Gold Mode". Gold Mode will be sold as #7.

I knew he would be silver. So I guess Bull Black is officially not considered a Sixth Ranger. I am sad that the first ever sixth, Mask X-1 is not included.

So now there are 6 'Silver Warriors' since Toei counts Gosei Knight as silver. Him being Silver confirms the theory that all anniversary 'seasons' since 2001 we get a Silver Ranger. Gokai Silver has on his chest 5 Silver Rangers, 3 White, 3 Gold, 2 Green, 1 Black and 1 Red.


Left Shoulder: Gosei Knight, Bouken Silver and King Ranger

Right Shoulder: Mega Silver, Kiba Ranger, and Go-On Silver

Chest top: Abare Killer, Dragon Ranger, and Time Fire

Chest center: Shinken Gold, Shurikenger, MagiShine, Go-On Gold

Chest Bottom: Gao Silver, and Deka Break
I am glad that Go-On Silver is included.

Gokai Cellular

First Row: GoseiKnight, GokaiSilver, Kibaranger

Second Row: Bouken Silver, Dragon Ranger, Mega Silver

Third Row: King Ranger, Go-On Gold/Go-On Silver, Shinken Gold

Fourth Row: Shurikenger, Abare Killer, Magi Shine

Fifth Row: Gao Silver, Time Fire, Deka Break
Seeing that the cellular has Go-On Silver and Go-On Gold on the same key, most likely Go-On Silver will magically appear next to Gokai Silver as Go-On Gold.


Goranger Ranger Keys

Dukemon22 says:
Steps for transforming:
1). Insert Ranger Key (In Ranger Form)
2). Press corresponding button
3). Push the top of the phone, causing the reader (the red anchor thing) to move down over the Ranger Key, reading it. SFX Sounds.

Some people are complaining that GoseiKnight is counted as a sixth ranger because he wasn't human, and in build, he is a lot like BullBlack, but promotionally he was considered a sixth ranger and that's the way it is. Technically Shurikenger had no human form we saw, because after he became Shurikenger, he lost his human face. And with the 15 helmets on his chest, he is being compared to Decade Complete Mode.

Just for geeks, here are the Sixth Ranger names for American Power Rangers Terms:
Green Ranger, White Ranger, Gold Ranger, Silver Ranger, Quantum Ranger, Lunar Wolf, Green Samurai Ranger (PRNS), White Dino Ranger, Omega Ranger, Solaris Knight, Mercury Ranger, Ranger Gold, Ranger Silver, and Gold Samurai Ranger.
