“Kaizoku Sentai Goukaiger” ( 海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャー trnslt: “Pirate Taskforce Heroic-rangers”)

Debuts Saturday, February 13th, 2011 at 7:30am on TV-Asashi!

Rangers listed: 

• GoukaiRed / Captain Marvelous (actor Ryota Ozawa)
• Goukai Blue / Joe Gibken (Yuki Yamada)
• Goukai Green / Don Dockoiyer (Kazuki Shimizu)
• Goukai Yellow / Luca Millefi (Mao Ichimichi)
• Goukai Pink / Aim de Famille (Aim de Famille)

“Goukaiger”, as the 35th-Anniversary series, will go where no other Super Sentai has: into its own legacy!  The team will visit past Sentai teams from as far back as the debut series, “Himitsu Sentai GoRanger” (1975), and feature both returning heroes and villains.

The Goukaiger’s transformation (aka henshin) device is called the Henshin Keitai Mobirates (mobile[ phone] + pirates?).

“Goukaiger” will use Ranger Keys as the cross-series gimmick, each of which will endow special powers and abilities based on each Super Sentai hero.  Dozens of Keys are planned, and they [should] all interact with the assortment of weapons, devices, and even mecha!

The first combining hero mecha is called the Goukai-Oh (Heroic-king), and it separates into Goukai Galleon (red), Goukai Jet (blue), Goukai Formula (green), Goukai Trailer (yellow), and Goukai Marine (pink).

The unique cards you collect from each toy can be used in the Japan-wide Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O video arcade game machines which debuted in 2010!
