That is an ongoing problem with the show. I had to force myself to ignore that question every time it reared its ugly head.

I think you'll find that I never refer to sentai as a 'mature, intelligent masterpiece'. I have no delusions about Sentai ( Or Rider) being anything than half hour toy commercials aimed at kids ages 3 and up. I do think than Sentai puts in more effort and is less plauged by attempts to avoid offending 'moral guardians' then North American produced shows such as Power Rangers, but it is by no means high art.

THEN you have to wrap your head around the idea that magic, giant robotic animals and spiritual kung fu all rub shoulder to shoulder in the same universe despite each one defying one another, and the very laws of nature itself.

But for Gokaiger, because in my head it takes place in this weird Versus universe where everything is a bit askew, I find the weird incongruities appealing. Makes my brain work hard to figure out explanations. (I believe that is known as a fanwank. ) Last edited by Kamen Rider Lucha; 03-25-2014 at 08:03 PM.. |

The Gokaigers could repower all the teams by giving they keys back, but that would mean giving up the greatest treasure in the universe. |

Characters like GekiRed, who fights with mystic martial arts or characters like MagiRed who fights with fire magic, there is no excuse for them to not be helping. Ranger costumes or not.

As for the mecha, this is actually apparently explained in the 199 Heroes companion book. Apparently most of the mecha were destroyed by the Zangyack during the Legend War, although in the movie proper we only see a destroyed Gosei Great. Apparently the book also explains how the dead Rangers were alive for the War, but I can't find it translated anywhere. |

But at the end of the episode with Kai, that fire spirit thing appears which explains how he created that fire trap. It doesn't explain why they aren't fighting, though.
