Well, it seems that the 35th Anniversary Season of Super Sentai, "Gokaiger" will be utilized in the second half of "Power Rangers MegaForce".....as a power-up. Yes, you read that right. As a power-up.
This was stated by Fury Diamond on RangerCrew's Blog:
How can you not love the beautiful Gokaiger suits? I’m not an active Sentai fan, but I got pure respect for Gokaiger’s success in the anniversary elements. When I first heard about Goseiger suits in Megaforce, I was disappointed that Saban Brands would either skip the Gokaiger suits or use them two years later. The Goseiger Suits will remain as the primary suits in Super Megaforce, but we will see the Gokaiger suits as expected. Power Rangers Super Megaforce will focus on Gokaiger footage to promote Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Power Rangers Megaforce using the Gokaiger suits and past Rangers. The season will have cameos, but no confirmation on their usage and who has been invited. The filming photos have leaked Jason Smith’s possible appearance in the season. The filming photos showed Black Wild Force Ranger and Lost Galaxy Rangers, which are two of the transformation “powers” that we will see in Super Megaforce.
The Gokaiger Suits will be used as a power up in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. The teenagers will use the Gosei Morpher to transform into the Megaforce Power Rangers (Gosei Suits). The Rangers will have the ability to transform to the Gokaiger Suits, which will act as the “Super Mode” (not confirmed name). This mode will allow the Rangers to transform into the Past Rangers form to match the Gokaiger footage. The Black Ranger will upgrade to Green Gokai Suit. They will use appropriate footage (existing and new) to match Jake’s personality.
There is no solid confirmation on whether Gokai Silver will be used, but we will most likely see this suit used as the Sixth Ranger to match the Gokaiger footage. As much as I would love to see an original Silver Ranger, I doubt that they will want to waste the fantastic Gokaiger footage.
If they use the Gokai Silver suit, I hope that they find a way to explain the Gokai Suits usage. They could take the approach where Gokai Silver’s team was defeated and the powers are passed down to the Megaforce Rangers. This would require Gokai Silver to appear in the first episode.
Now I personally want to see how this concept is played out. It puzzled me when Gokaiger was going to be used in MegaForce's second half back at Comic Con 2012. Now I see why. Keep in mind though that this won't happen till next year and things could change.
I would like to see how it turns out, though I will admit I would have liked them to be a team of "Rival Rangers" which would be something new for the franchise, but hey. We can't control that can we? This will also be the 2nd season in which there are 2 sets of Ranger teams. The first was back in MMPR Season 3 with the core 6 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the 5 Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers.
What do you think about this?
