In this episode that takes place after the events of the 199 Hero Great Battle (Wanna know what happened? The heroes won! Or if you want the full spoilers, go here.), after they defeated an army of Zangyack foot soldiers by using the Goseigers’ Grand Powers, they now search for an AMAZING man silver and they never expected that this guy in silver is the annoying guy who keeps on stalking them!
I know I am at least 2 weeks late but it is better late than never! Anyways, the fact that they established the 199 Hero Great Battle movie as canon makes things difficult for those who haven’t watched the film since we have to wait at least 3-6 months for the DVD and Blu-ray release of the movie, but here’s the point. The fact that they established the movie as canon gives us more reasons to watch the film asides from the nostalgia value it gives and the cameo of the past Sentai actors.
Now to the aftermath of the movie, the film established that they have unlocked 11 Grand Powers and we saw two of them, namely, the GorenGokaiOh and the All Header Great Charge, which leaves us 9 more powers to see. Because of this, we might have a slim chance of seeing nine tribute episodes due to their powers being unlocked but because of the scan of Akashi for Gokaiger and a rumored Go-Onger Gokai Machine, we might still see nine tribute episodes. In simple terms, French and Pinoy Sentai fans can still have their Bioman tribute!
Now to the actual episode, all I can say is, the Gokaigers need Gai! I mean he knows the franchise really well and based on the previous episodes, the Gokaigers are looking for something aimlessly since they don’t have a proper clue on what they are looking for and they have to depend much on luck just for them to find at least one past Sentai hero to teach them to learn their power. With Gai on the team, they will have a proper lead on what they are looking for (as seen on the scans for the Gingaman tribute) and thus, we will have more balanced screen time for each past actor in each tribute episode.
Now to the guy, Gai Ikari aka GokaiSilver, he is awesome. I don’t know why some people hated him but guys, it is still the first episode and we haven’t seen his mecha yet nor his capabilities out of suit! The fact that he is a Sentai fanboy and like most fans, he has this dream of an ideal Sentai team (as seen in his daydream) and wants to be hero is enough for me to like the guy. Now as GokaiSilver, I love that he incorporated every color for his solo roll call, it was funny and probably the longest roll call I heard in Super Sentai. As for his skills, no question about it, and as for the finisher, loved it due to how brutal and awesome it looked like.
Overall, for Gai’s first episode, he made quite a good impression on me due to him being the odd one from the rest of the Gokaigers which makes him stand out from the rest; a trademark of the Sixth Ranger title. Also, one thing to note in this episode is that we saw more of Oiles Gil’s competence as a leader as he actually made a plan that will work! Too bad, Gai noticed it and foiled the plan.
