Months after he was first revealed on toy catalogs and after had a stream of rumors about GokaiSilver and images of Basco summoning sixth Rangers, we finally have the first set of scans for the Gokaiger's sixth member, Gai Ikari aka GokaiSilver!
Gai Ikari is a man who absolutely loves Super Sentai. One day, he saves a girl from a car accident and got hurt a bit. Later he was visited by Dragon Ranger, AbareKiller (in the person of Mikoto, his alter ego) and TimeFire in a dream.
The three heroes approved his heroic deed and gave him his GokaiCelluar and Ranger Keys to him since they think that he is qualified to be the newest sixth hero. He gets extremely excited when he receives the Ranger Key. He joins the Gokaigers to fight the Zangyack Empire and protect world peace.
Using the GokaiCelluar, he transforms into GokaiSilver and with the help of the Gold Anchor Key, he can gain access to his Gold Mode. His main weapon is the GokaiSpear which has three modes: Gun Mode, Anchor Mode and Spear Mode. In the current scans, he uses the Anchor Mode while in Gold Mode.
GokaiSilver's mecha is the GouJyuJin which is the combination of the GouJyuDrill and the GouJyuRex. The entire body is the GouJyuRex while its right arm is the GouJyu Drill. It is said that this mecha can swap arms, and therefore, it can't create a larger mecha formation with the GokaiOh.
It is rumored that that there will be no other Abaranger, Zyuuranger, or Timeranger tribute episodes because of the caption found in one GokaiSilver scan which says that he will unlock three greater powers at once. And GokaiSilver's debut episodes will be a 3-in-1 tribute episode which focuses on those series' sixth warriors.
It is also confirmed that GoZyuJin, having it's three step transformation, represents three Super Sentai powers:

Early thoughts:
I still find this funny that Gai is an average fanboy who saves one girl and gets his powers from three dead Sixth Rangers whose reputation is being a jerk most of the time and their main mecha is a dinosaur! It seems that the writers struck gold. One thing that disappoints me in the scan is that Dragon Ranger and TimeFire's respective alter egos, namely, Burai and Naoto didn't made an appearance in human form. Hope that they can do voiceover work in Silver's rumored debut episode which is in episode 17 and 18.

- Timeranger's power = Drill Spaceship mode, the GoJyuDrill
- Zyuranger's power = T-Rex mode, the GoJyuRex
- Abaranger's power = The robot mode, GoZyuJin
