Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャー, Kaizoku Sentai Gōkaijā, [Note 1][Note 2]) is the title of the 2011 Super Sentai Series. It is the 35th entry in Toei Company's Super Sentai Series, following the 34th entry, Tensou Sentai Goseiger. It premiered on TV Asahi on February 13, 2011, joining Kamen Rider OOO as a program featured in TV Asahi's Super Hero Time programming block. The series has a pirate (海賊, kaizoku) motif and as the 35th anniversary series, the protagonists have access to the powers of the previous 34 Super Sentai teams.

On July 30, 2010, Toei applied for trademarks on the title Kaizoku Sentai Gōkaijā (海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャー) to be used on various products. The Japan Patent Office approved these trademarks on August 26, 2010.[1][2] During the Super Sentai VS Theater programming on December 26, 2010, the series was officially announced in a commercial. A Tokyo Dome City event for the premiere, serving as the introduction of the cast and theme song singers to the public, held on January 29 and 30, 2011.[3]

Plot

A group of young pirates come from space to Earth to obtain the "Greatest Treasure in the Universe" (宇宙最大の宝, Uchū Saidai no Takara). However, they end up facing the Space Empire Zangyack, whose earlier invasion forces were wiped out by the 34 Sentai groups long ago before a new invasion force is established under Commandant Oiles Gil, the emperor's son. As a result, due to their history with the empire, the space pirates use the powers of the older teams to fight the Zangyack forces as the Gokaigers.

Characters

Gokaigers

The Gokaigers are young space pirates who originally came to Earth to obtain "The Greatest Treasure in the Universe" before getting dragged into fighting the Zangyack. They are based on the Gokai Galleon, which is navigated by their robot parrot Navi (ナビィ, Nabyi), and able to assume the forms of any member from the previous 34 Sentai groups.

Captain Marvelous/Gokai Red (キャプテン・マーベラス/ゴーカイレッド, Kyaputen Māberasu/Gōkai Red)
The young captain of the Gokai Galleon and team leader.
Joe Gibken/Gokai Blue (ジョー・ギブケン/ゴーカイブルー, Jō Gibuken/Gōkai Burū)
The calm and seriously loyal firstmate.
Luka Millfy/Gokai Yellow (ルカ・ミルフィ/ゴーカイイエロー, Ruka Mirufi/Gōkai Ierō)
A tomboyish girl and the ship's lookout.
Don Dogoier/Gokai Green (ドン・ドッゴイヤー/ゴーカイグリーン, Don Dogoiyā/Gōkai Gurīn)
The ship's mechanic.
Ahim de Famille/Gokai Pink (アイム・ド・ファミーユ/ゴーカイピンク, Aimu do Famīyu/Gōkai Pinku)
The newest member of the group and thus new to piracy.

Zangyack

The evil Space Empire Zangyack (宇宙帝国ザンギャック, Uchū Teikoku Zangyakku) seeks to take control of the Earth. The fleet sent to invade is led by Commandant Oiles Gil, before being defeated by the past 34 Super Sentai teams. Oiles resumes the invasion with his three officers: the elite soldier Chief of Staff Damaras, the scientist Development Technical Officer Insarn, and the mysterious Special Duty Officer Barizorg. They are further supported by their Non-Commissioned Officers Sugormin, the Gormin Sailors, Action Commanders, and the ocassional hired help from previous organizations that the previous Sentai battled.

Legends

In addition to the main characters, characters from previous Super Sentai Series, known as Legends (レジェンド, Rejendo), make guest appearances in Gokaiger.

Tsuyoshi Kaijo/Aka Ranger (海城 剛/アカレンジャー, Kaijō Tsuyoshi/Akarenjā, 1)
Tsuyoshi Kaijo is a member of EAGLE who led the Gorangers against the Black Cross Army as the Aka Ranger. He later led the Super Sentai groups against Zangyack in the Legend War before giving them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada.
Aka Red (アカレッド, Aka Reddo, 2)
Aka Red is the spirit of the Super Sentai's red warriors, able to use his Soul Advent to assume the forms of the first 29 red-suited Sentai members. He tends to appear when the world is in need of the Super Sentai, appearing on Earth to Eiji Takaoka to gather the ultimate Sentai together to battle Chronos. After the Legend War, Aka Red appeared on Captain Marvelous's planet, giving him Navi and the Ranger Keys to find the Greatest Treasure before sacrificing himself to ensure Marvelous's escape.
Kai Ozu (小津 魁, Ozu Kai, 2-3)
Kai is the youngest of the Ozu siblings who led the Magiranger family as Magi Red (マジレッド, Maji Reddo) against the Underground Hades Empire Infershia's forces before they destroyed its evil god N-Ma forever, becoming a liaison to the reformed Infershia. Donning his father's traditional Magitopian robe, Kai is labeled by Navi as the figure in black the Gokaigers are to meet. With help from Heavenly Saint Flagel (天空聖者フレイジェル, Tenkū Seija Fureijeru), Kai proceeds to reveal the true power of the Ranger Keys by enabling Don to have his team unlock the Magiranger Keys' full power.
Marika Reimon (礼紋 茉莉花, Reimon Marika, 5)
Affectionately called "Jasmine" (ジャスミン, Jasumin) by her friends, Marika is an officer of the Special Police Dekaranger team serving as Deka Yellow (デカイエロー, Deka Ierō). She arrests Captain Marvelous when he goes to seek out the police for the next step towards the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. A fight ensued between them, and Captain Marvelous fled the police with handcuffs on.
Doggie Kruger (ドギー・クルーガー, Dogī Kurūgā, 5)
Affectionately called "Boss" (ボス, Bosu) by his subordinates, Doggie Kruger is the commander of the Earth's Special Police Dekaranger forces and fights crimes as Deka Master (デカマスター, Deka Masutā). He is initially distrustful of Captain Marvelous as he is a pirate, but he eventually chooses to have faith in the man's sense of pride where he walks his own path, even if the entire universe will be his enemy. He releases him from the handcuffs shortly afterwards.
Banban Akaza (赤座 伴番, Akaza Banban, 5)
Affectionately caled "Ban" (バン) by his teammates, Banban is an officer of the Dekarangers serving as Deka Red (デカレッド, Deka Reddo). He appears once Buramudo is destroyed, clearing the Gokaigers of their piracy charges, and tells them to use their powers wisely or else.

Notes

  1. ^ The name "Gokaiger" appears on the characters' transformation devices. In early promotional materials for the series, the name of the series is parsed as "Goukaiger" in English. The URLs for the series' various websites romanize Gōkai (ゴーカイ) as "Go-kai".
  2. ^ In early promotional materials for the series, the Japanese word gōkai (豪快, exciting; heroic) is used as a meaning for the series' title.
