They get officially cleared by the Space Sheriffs as not being criminals of any kind.

When I read Die's post, I was going to point out the same detail and then I saw that someone beat me to it.

Basically, this was addressed back during the Dekaranger Tribute episode in Gokaiger when Ban says that the charges of piracy were pushed by Zangyack to discredit their character and de-legitimize them. In the Ohranger Tribute episode, Momo is clearly following the "pirates-in-name-only" rationalization. However, we know that the Gokaiger themselves actually wear the pirate moniker as a badge of honor, so the legal quandary is weird to say the least.

In Gokaiger VS. Gavan, Don references that Dekaranger cleared them when Gavan OG tries to arrest them.

The primary villains in Taisen Z are largely based on the villains from Sharivan, which is why Neo-Sharivan recognizes their castle through the portal.

The film is terribly clunky and filled with a lot of stupid decisions. It seems asinine to blame Wizard and Beast for something that any number of magical Toku Heroes and Villains could be just as responsible for, which only serves to discredit the "brilliant" investigative work on the part of Gavan's Agency.

Why don't they go after Magiranger instead? Cause they aren't new enough to bother so they aren't suspects. Also kinda dumb that they didn't have them in this movie to do some funky magic with Wizard. Missed opportunity, Toei!

As cool as it is to see Inazuman, the appearance was still random. As was the reappearance of Groundain and Skydain, who are played as tragic villains here despite dying as egregious ones in the Fourze Movie.

It's become a tiresome plot point for Geki to constantly be fired or suspended cause he fights for the right thing when everyone else has a bad habit of being stupid or so procedural to the point of madness

So Geki has Metal Hero Keys despite just getting his powers back!? So anyone with Toku Powers can have a "Ranger Key"?

Shadow Moon was just a villain with no leadership capacity in the previous Taisen, but here he's back to a leadership role. The only good thing about his inclusion is that he's vaporized by Kyoryuger!

I kinda wonder if the plot is based on how many actors they can get back, then they write the "script" to fit the characters they have to work with.

I do think this is one of the better instances in which the Mecha of the Next Generation Uchuu Keiji are given significant screentime. They tend to be painfully underutilized.

It's a movie you can enjoy if you aren't looking for anything deep or serious. When you have heroes acting like idiots and arguing over how to best protect the Earth, you aren't going to be absorbing any great philosophical truth.

If Earth has an alliance with the Uchuu Keiji Agency, I'd seriously consider suing given the whole "blow-up-a-planet-with-a-mega-cannon-we-don't-use-in-any-other-movie" thing!

P.S.: Nice Death's Head reference, Die!
