Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Episode 1 Images!


Earlier, we posted the real first three episode summaries and just recently, the first images of the famed Legend War, Super Sentai's answer to Kamen Rider's Great Rider War has just surfaced along with pictures for the first episode!


Years ago, the 34 Super Sentai defended the Earth against Space Empire Zangyakku. The soldiers of legend lost their powers during this battle, but through their sacrifice, Zangyakku was able to be repelled from the Earth.

 Red Falcon, fighting more grunts!

 The two ninja-themed Super Sentai themes, Ninja Sentai Kakuranger and Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger cooperating with each other! Now, when will I see the Zyurangers and Abarangers fighting together?


Several years later, we meet a group of young pirates who travel aboard the ship, GoukaiGalleon. They are in search of the Uchuu Saidai no Takara (Greatest Treasure in the Universe). They head towards Earth, where it is said the Greatest Treasure rests.

What is the thing that the Gokaigers saw from above? Could it be the Zangyakku? And why is Don doing Sun Vulcan references?!

The possible first monster of the week along with the grunts.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger premieres on February 13, on tv-asahi's Super Hero Time!

Special thanks to DecaEnd of HJU for the scans!

Gao Soul Forever! Subs Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan!

Ichi, Nii, San. VULCAN!

After finishing Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, Gao Soul Forever! takes us back to the year 1981 and subs one of the classic Super Sentai titles and the ONLY Sentai team that has three members, Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan!

Takes place after the events of Denshi Sentai Denziman (making it the ONLY direct sequel to a previous Sentai show), a new threat arrives in the form of the Machine Empire Black Magma which caused the EPDS (Earth Peace Defense Squad) to decide to establish the Taiyou Sentai at a summit. From the EPDS's air force, navy, and rangers, Commander Arashiyama assembles three specialists to become Sun Vulcan!


Due to the success of this show, this is often parodied in anime and in other Japanese TV shows. A prominent example of a Sun Vulcan parody is an anime series called, Astro Fighter Sunred.

According to their website, they will release Sun Vulcan every Sunday, so stay tuned for their weekly releases of this 50-episode Super Sentai show!
