TwoKaiser Revealed
3 Attachment(s)
the Sixth Zenkaiger and his weapon; the GearDaringer.
|
Looks like a Super-Mega Win of a design to me.
|
That... is BEAUTIFUL. I'm sold. Winner. He's literally just Gokai Gold and that's amazing for me! God, I might even get his dumb toy...
REALLY curious about that Ohranger form on the gear; it's clearly Ohranger Robo but then it's got very weird eyes |
From comments I've seen elsewhere, he apparently has a pair of mini-robot buddies based on mechs from Ohranger and Shinkenger, which give him a couple of power-ups.
Edit - images of which in the news post, but not in this thread. Strange. https://news.tokunation.com/wp-conte...woKaiser-3.jpg https://news.tokunation.com/wp-conte...woKaiser-4.jpg |
I feel like he's a little TOO Gokaiger looking. Like this is Gokai Red's powerup that he got in some post series movie or something. Maybe that's deliberate, I dunno! He looks really cool though!
|
Interesting that he's got some Dino Charge-looking shoulderpads.

Love how he looks like an exaggerated Gokai Red like how Zenkaiser looks like an exaggerated Akaranger. Dunno why I never considered Gokaiger to be the sixth's main power.
|
The blatant Gokai symbolism kills it for me.
If it was the suit with the other Zenkaiger logo, especially on the chest, that'd be fine and make sense. This just looks like a power up for Gokai Gold or something. Definitely a lot of pandering here. |
I'm not a fan, sad to say... It's literally just a Gokaiger. On top of lacking much unique identity, I don't think this design is going to look nice alongside the other Zenkaigers or even just next to Zenkaiser.
|
Looks ridiculous. Yep I might have to actually start watching Zenkaiger now.
|
It may look exactly like a Gokai Gold, but I'm all for it.
|
It's literally just Gokai Gold. For a season with some of the most out there ranger designs, to see this as our sixth is very underwhelming. I'm now kind of hoping for a heroic version of Stacaesar's design as a 7th ranger to help balance this out.

"Take a good look.... Do you see any tears?"
I like how Twokaizer's color extends down the sides of his legs unlike the Gokaigers' solid black legs. He totally looks more like a seventh Gokaiger than a sixth Zenkaiger though. His Gear doesn't look much different compared to the regular Gokaiger Gear, since all the regular Gears are gold. I also like his version of Gokai Changes, using the legendary Sentai as armor instead of just assuming their forms. That's pretty close to my vision for a Zi-O style Sentai and works great with the Zenkaiger style. Shinken Form resembles the Hyper Mode used by the Shinkengers and Go-On Red with the cool dinosaur sword, so it's appropriate that Kattanar's Gear is red like Juran's. Ohran Form has the inverted triangle and the square in the wrong positions, how did that happen?! Maybe it has something to do with Rikki's Gear being blue or a reference to Zeo Ranger III being SIC? |
You know what would be funny? If this turned out to be Sosuke/Go-on Red and despite it officially being called TwoKaiser he insists on Gokai Fire. :lolol :lolol :lolol
If not a parallel universe version of Marvelous I guess. |
Well his catchphrase is "Mach Zenkai!" after all! He would fit in with those guys.
|
I'm not sure how I feel about him basically just being a Gokaiger...
|
I like it a lot. I don't understand all the "he looks like a Gokaiger" complaints. It'd be like saying "Zenkaiser looks too much like the sixth Gorenger," which he does, but that's the TV show we're watching. This series is going to be defined in part by discordant, heavily referential designs.
It's clear they at least tried to reflect this year's mecha theme in the helmet, since that looks like GokaiOh's tricorn hat instead of the more understated Gokaiger helmet shapes. People are probably getting thrown by the visor, which is 100% Gokai goodness. The Zyuranger, Gaoranger, etc. mecha didn't much resemble their mecha's head, but Gokaiger's very much did. (The show was, I think, unusually good at executing its theme visually.) I'm hoping the GearDaringer will be less clumsy to operate than the Geartlinger: even among other elaborate Sentai transformation gimmicks, this one requires and extra helping or three of suspension of disbelief. What I can't forgive, though, is that he's not called GoKaiser. Seriously, what the hell?! Edit: Also, it's clear the specific visor shape is GokaiRed's which, along with the red suit accents, follows the theme established with ZenKaiser's helmet of "this guy is also the team's red hero." |
I'm sad we aren't getting rangers for Shinkenger and Ohranger out of this. I like it when they intro more then 1 new ranger for the 6th slot. A whole new weapon with new sounds would've been a great opportunity to do that.

Wow. In any other Sentai that design would look flashy and extra, bordering on garish, but in Zenkaiger it's honestly a little underwhelming. Like, apart from being gold, I'd say he actually looks understated compared to Zenkaiser, he doesn't even have a cape! At least he stands out compared to the rest of the team, even being the only one to have the traditional flat black visor. Hopefully it'll look better once we see the actual suit in action instead of just cheap figures.
That said, I do like the hat-helmet, and if you ignore the exposed hollow plastic the Geardaringer is a fairly good sword-gun (Toei sure loves those) with an elegant simplicity in just folding the blade down to the side. The shoulder pads remind me a lot of crocodile jaws, and combined with the zigzags running down the limbs and the "tears" I'm seeing weirdly a lot of Kamen Rider Rogue in this design. Probably just a coincidence. |
So an actual Super Megaforce Gold Ranger, and utilizing powers from Zeo and Samurai alongside SMF too. Nice!

Like... he's literally wearing a fundoshi over his costume in the Ohranger form. That is... kinda bonkers. :lol As far as being the "sixth," I know, toy-wise, that's the position TwoKaiser is filling. But has it been stated anywhere that he considers himself a Zenkaiger? I don't think it has. As with StaCaesar, I'm speculating that the additional human rangers will be third parties and not part of the team in the traditional sense. |
Toei: "You wanted more Gokaiger...YOU GOT MOAR GOKAIGER!!!"
|
I wish they'd gone green instead of gold.

I kinda hope he eventually gains a Silver mode, but then, I'm kinda hoping he'll be played by a Gokaiger actor. Quote:

I wonder if the rest of the team will get other forms like Twokaizer has? I can see Vroon using either Go-Onger, Turboranger, or Carranger, Juran using Kyoryuger and Ryusoulger, Magine possibly Goseiger or Kiramager, Gaon using Gekiranger, Go-Busters, or Zyuohger, and for Zenkaizer using Gorenger or J.A.K.Q.
|
Toei, Akibakaiser up next, I beg of you. Maybe that can be the green that people wanted from this.
Speaking of, I actually really dig this design. Idk why, but I like the whole "completely different aesthetic" idea that this has with the other Zenkaigers. The only thing I would change would be the fact that the Ohranger form doesn't cover up the Gokaiger logo as the Shinkenger form does. Otherwise, it's all goodie. |
It could also be the vaunted return of Extra Heroes, at long last

Love the suit with all the gold. Twokaiser has that gokaiger feel to it and I excite to see him in the show. He looks so much more nicer and balance out then zenkaiser tacky suit.
|
Yep that's just GokaiGold right there. I dig it.

Any idea why they chose Ohranger and Shinkenger for the armors? Is it just by popularity, or do they represent something? I guess Shinkenger could represent the "warrior"-themed seasons, although martial artists and ninjas both seem to be used more often.

- General popularity - Ohranger was an anniversary season - Both were the source of major upgrades for the Gokaigers |
