The Tree in ToQGer looks completely different though. We know from their memories that its a slim tree and the gaim tree is gigantic in comparison.

Its not the same city.

But didn't they draw attention to how big the tree was in the drawing? A detail she added when they arrived at Zawame? Like I say, I doubt anything will come of it, but as a film student we were always taught that 'even the most realistic films still have to include a best of selection of moments' - as in, everything in a film has a purpose, even when it's pretending not to - so on a purely creative level if the drawing truly is pointless - as it most probably is - I just personally found it distracting it was brought up a good four or five times, including being the thing we opened and closed on.

Unless of course the whole point is for the audience to assume this, and it was a red herring all along, which probably would make more sense.

Yes they did. It was a throughaway line about Kagura drawing a gigantic tree even though the real tree is alot smaller. Tokacchi mentioned to her that she thougth it was huge because of her memories being from the point of view of a child.
It wouldnt be possible for her to have memories the others dont have either. As far as we know the ToQGer only remeber things they did together. So there should be atleast one other ToQGer that has the same memories as Kagura. Even if it would be possible for them to regain memories of things they did alone I´m pretty sure the crossover would have made a bigger deal out of it.

They focused on the drawing three times to be exact. First was at the beginning to make the transition into Zawame City. Then when Kouta was abourd the Rainbow Line so Right could explain what the Mission of the ToQGer was and then at the very end Rght looked at it one last time remembering Kouta. The Scene of Right is then paralleld with a Scene of Kouta looking at a bunch of Train tracks remembering his new allies.

You're probably right but I still personally found it extremely distracting.

Fair enough :)

Yeah, I know absolutely nothing about Gaim and even I picked up on that.

The more I think about it, the more I realise that Gaim came across HORRIBLY in this crossover.

Kouta, who is like the most loving person alive, came across weirdly selfish and narrow minded. Meanwhile it suggested the plot of Gaim was a badly dressed boy, a selfish narrow minded fool and a grumpy emo kid chase around a girl who is both immensely stupid, and constantly throws herself in danger and needs to be rescued all the time.

I PROMISE YOU, Gaim is NOTHING like this shit.

This was a pretty fun special

With the best parts being the awkward transformation scene in the opening, Takatora not noticing the giant freaking robot behind his office:lol

It managed to blend the two shows in a way I thought didn't feel disjointed

This was actually a pretty great special. On Saturday when everybody was checking out the livestream Twitter was alive with people saying it was awful. But I have to say I thought it was a decently executed prologue to the movie. Aside from a continuity issue or two I was quite satisfied.

Looks like I'm not the only one who thought Bravo would have been gold in this episode.

Really liked this special. I haven't watched any Super Sentai seasons period, but I might check out ToQger. At the very least, the gimmick seems interesting enough. Reminds me of Den-O.

And it's funny how depressing the Gaim characters are standing next to the happy-go-lucky ToQgers.

I mean, Decade had a crossover with Shinkenger, but like most things involving Decade, it made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
