Ditto to what good points most others are saying. This might just be the most I've enjoyed Sentai in a long time. In terms of just making me smile like a doofus, this is number one.

Luka Millfy
My fave Gokaiger was back, she henshin and fought beautifully.
And the ending gave me tears.

Yeah it was dumb and plot convenient but I feel like the emotions mattered in the end.

Now that it's over I'd just like to reiterate that this series was a lot of fun. It's not any kind of end-all, be-all crossover, but it also doesn't have delusions of being one, and instead just focuses on delivering a bunch of fun moments between characters you like.

With Arakawa writing I guess it was always in safe hands, but it really can't be overstated how nice it is to see a bunch of heroes get together and more or less get along. Everyone comes out looking good, to the point where people in this very thread have managed to briefly forget about their irrational hatred of Takaharu, and when you've successfully made the audience enjoy seeing a character they don't like, you've done your job well. Heck, even Yamato's "why not?" reaction to being asked if the Ryusoulgers are the STRONGEST SENTAI EVAR!!!111!!11! went a long way toward making me forget how disappointed I still am Toei went back to the dinosaur well so quickly.

For something that only exists to be the very definition of filler, I'd say Super Sentai Strongest Battle is highly overqualified. Toei could've just slapped together some Ultraman Retsuden style clip shows if they needed to, but they went the extra mile, and I'm glad they did.

Luka looks pissed off in the whole time she's on the screen...I wonder why?

Sentai, the franchise where a being named Satan gets killed by football.
If you think that's lame, I'm sorry but no, just no.

Not just Satan, but Ultimate Great Satan :lol

Now this, thiiiis is why I love Sentai

Ditto to all the good things said about this by others so far. This was a fun and enjoyable little mini-series.

Also interesting fact, not sure if somebody pointed this out already, at least one or two members from an anniversary season are in this series and reprised by their actor (out of suit). Yamato from Zyuohger (40th), Marvelous and Luka from Gokaiger (35th), Eiji from Boukenger (30th), Kakeru from Gaoranger (25th).

Ultimate Great Santa. ;)

It was cheesy and goofy, but it was fun. I really got a kick out of the "wand" throw. To be honest I was a little disappointed. Although I feel any of that was on me for having great expectations than it ever intended. Still I am excited for Ryusoulger, so mission accomplished.

My one hope is that we get some great payoff with Gaisorg. Right now it feels like a mishmash of past villains and extra heroes. I just would love to see him transcend that impression.

I noticed that too. I don't remember that Luka was this grumpy.

Seeing her possible ex married and pretending they're "couple like here" ?

If I was possessed, beaten and kidnapped I'd be grouchy as hell too

I've seen the actress that plays Rita looking a lot hotter. Her outfit and makeup didn't do her justice. Her reasoning for being evil was dumb and like any Japanese show, the bad guy seems to always be on the path to redemption as soon as the cuffs are on.

Captain Marvelous just seemed like he was trying too hard too. I guess that's why he let Zyuoh Eagle lead.

If the ryusoulgers need to chomp with the dino head that many times in their show as they did in this show, it'll be annoying to me. One or two chomps should be enough.

There's not a lot I can say that hasn't already been said, but this series was a hell of a lot of fun. I had a dumb smile on my face the whole time I was watching.

I wish there was some sort of robot fight though! You'd probably need another episode to fit one in without it just being stock footage shoehorned in at the end. But I'd be ok with that!

If they are going to re-use Gaisorg, it's going to be similar with what happened to Wolzard Fire but in gold. Lol.

It's strange; I loved this show and rated it "Excellent" in the poll, even though I found parts disappointing.

Some of that disappointment is pure fan-expectation: I'd assumed that Zyuranger, Abaranger, and Kyoryuger being absent would be a plot point... Nope. At this point, I'm assuming they just didn't want to remind the audience just how often they've done dino Sentai.

The Ryusoulger bits tended to be the worst part of each episode. In the midst of a Sentai series finally freed from selling toys, we had to... stop everything to sell toys. I wonder if Green and Black were included because they don't appear at the start of Ryusoulger?

I guess I loved Saikyou Battle in part because it felt kind of like a much more satisfying Sentai Taisen movie. It was fun! It was terrific to see all the returning actors. I can't believe they made me like Takaharu, but they did. I loved that we got Luka in addition to Captain Marvelous. Rather than a stalling tactic, this miniseries felt like a love-letter to Sentai fans.

I do kinda hope that elements of the series will crop up in Ryusoulger. They seemed to be leaving the door open for Gaizorg's return. There certainly seemed to be some untold story there. Maybe a redeemed Rita, as well? Maybe in an upcoming Sentai movie.

denziman was also absent outside of Marvelous gokai changing into denzired, with the zyuranger throwbacks it makes it obvious it was meant to be a reference to queen hedrian as a tribute to the actor, at least probably. i'm going to say its purposeful exclusion for fans to figure out, rather than anything else.
