Gokaiger 20

Oh hey, Basco's back! And he's still got ranger keys! I suspect the Gokaigers interactions with past Sentai members will be different with Gai on their side. Interesting to see Gai's fanboyism work against him when Black Knight asks for his morpher. Though I wonder if the whole thing is actually a test of character or if Black Knight really does just want the power to defend earth again.

And Basco can just draw great powers to him with his trumpet? Huh. And Marvelous' words of sticking to his dreams snap Gai out of it and he decides to just push Black Knight out of the way, while he wounded to get the morpher back. And I was right! It was a test of character. A test of resolve, more specifically.

Oh wow another movie's being advertised. A purely Gokaiger one where they meet...uh, awful cgi Casper ghosts? Alright...That Ghost Ship looks pretty awesome though.

Gokaiger 21

Basco also actively looking for the great powers is starting to get Marvelous a little stressed out it seems. Ad here's Boukenred. He seems to be a treasurehunter a expected and it's cool how he just casually autographed Gai's notebook.

From what little I know of the Boukenger's it seems like they'd get along with the Gokaigers, being treasure hunters and all. Wait, isn't Boukenger also an anniversary series? What is it with those and treasure hunting?

Marvelous, it seems, is still dead set on getting those great powers instead of going on a treasure hunt, until Boukenred pressures him with the 'oh so I guess you guys can't do it' trick. Even then, he still seems reluctant. Luka's raring to get some treasure though.

the best part about the rest of the Gokaiger's lack of Sentai knowledge comapred to Gai's is when they completely misunderstand what keys he asks them to use.

Ah and Boukenred's warnings about rushing ahead are giving Marvelous flashbacks to his time with Akared. The Sugormin walking out of the cave with the sword in his back reminded me of the third Indiana Jones somewhat.

OH! the thing Boukenred was looking for was used to revive that fire villain from Overdrive/Boukenger! This is the first time an old villain has been used in the show, I think. Ah, and boukenred's pep talk has restored Marvelous' sense of adventure, finally.

Woah, fire guy blocked the Final Wave. Guess he's a little too near 'final villain' territory for things to be that easy. And Marvelous takes his pirates take whatever they want 'with their hands' speech too literally in this case with the revival heart thing.

And the Boukenger's great power is summoning their mech to fight and leaving it's sword for the Gokaigers to pick up. Which is fine but...what's Gingaman's great power? I don't remember it being shown...

And Boukenger knows Akared? Interesting...
