Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku

A movie for *Tensou Sentai Goseiger and Samurai Sentai Shinkenger*

***Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku*** (天装戦隊ゴセイジャーVSシンケンジャー エピック on 銀幕, *Tensō Sentai Goseijā tai Shinkenjā Epikku on Ginmaku*) is the 21st entry in the *Super Sentai* Series; the long-standing tradition of crossover films known collectively as the "VS Series". The film, released on January 22, 2011, featured a meeting of the casts and characters of *Tensou Sentai Goseiger* and *Samurai Sentai Shinkenger*. The film was first announced on Toei's Twitter feed on October 21, 2010. The catchphrases for the movie are "Move out, Samurai! Take off, Angels!" and "A samurai, angel combination no one has seen." This was the first Team-up to be released on Blu-Ray, on March 21, 2011, along with the DVD.

The film features the remnant Ayakashi (voiced by Tesshō Genda) who seeks to revive Dokoku Chimatsuri but instead revives the Goseigers' nemesis Buredoran of the Comet as the Gedoshu Buredoran Chimatsuri (voiced by Nobuo Tobita). To make matters worse, Takeru Shiba has been brainwashed into serving Buredoran as Gedou Shinken Red.

## Story

While heading to the store to pick up things for his fellow Gosei Angels and Nozomu, Alata finds himself fighting Nanashi and the Ayakashi Madakodama before he receives aid from Takeru Shiba/Shinken Red. However, the fight is witnessed by a mysterious figure as Madakodama falls back. Thinking that Dokoku Chimatsuri has somehow returned, Takeru leaves to recall his vassals while accepting the Gosei Angels' help. Setting up base in the Amachi Institute against his wishes, Takeru introduces Hikoma Kusakabe to the Gosei Angels as the others as they learn of the Gedoshu as Ryunosuke Ikenami/Shinken Blue is the first to arrive before the Gedoshu resume their attack. Using Bibi Soldiers to hold off the two Shinkengers, Madakodama attacks the Goseigers as Chiaki Tani/Shinken Green arrives. However, the leader of the Gedoshu arrives, revealing himself not to be Dokoku but Buredoran. Now known as Buredoran of Chimatsuri, calling himself "Dokoku's heir". He battles Super Shinken Red before sticking his Bibi Bugs on the samurai and spiriting him away.

As Alata tries to convince Ryunosuke and Chiaki to help them, Eri and Agri pick up Mako Shiraishi/Shinken Pink while Hyde and Moune meet with Kotoha Hanaori/Shinken Yellow, but their reunion is soon cut short by Takeru. The vassals' initial happiness at seeing their lord turns to utter disbelief as Takeru, who has since fallen under Buredoran's control, uses his ShodoPhone to transform into Gedou Shinken Red (donning a black version of the Super Shinkenger Jacket). Takeru easily swats the Goseigers aside with his Rekka Daizantou before turning his attention to his vassals, who are too stunned to do anything. Before Takeru can attack them, however, Gosei Red takes the apparent deathblow before Gosei Knight and Shinken Gold arrive to cover their escape.

With Alata's wounds tended to as Gosei Knight suggests augmenting their Tensou Techniques to fight Madakodama, the vassals and Genta agree to fight alongside the Goseigers. The next day, the teams learn to combine their Tensou Technique and Mojikara abilities and manage to succeed as Alata comes to and assures Ryunosuke that everything would work out, as Kaoru Shiba, Takeru's sister, arrives to take Alata away in order to work on a solution to the crisis. By then, as Buredoran's plan to drown the Gosei World with the Sanzu River's waters is revealed to Shitari's shock, the two teams arrive to stop it only to be forced to fight Gedou Shinken Red in order to hold him until Gosei Red arrives and uses a Mojikara-powered Flametornado Card provided by Kaoru to finally free Shinken Red from Buredoran's hold. The two teams proceed to fight their way through the Bibis and Nanashi.

As the others use their Tensou Technique/Mojikara combos to overpower Madakodama, Super Gosei Red and Hyper Shinken Red manage to defeat phantoms of Buredoran's Warstar and Yuumajuu guises before regrouping with the others to finish the fight as the Super Shinkengers and Miracle Goseigers use a Mojikara-powered Miracle Gosei/Knight Dynamic combo to destroy Buredoran and Madokodama's first lives.

As this occurred, sent ahead of the others, and getting lost, DaiGoyou witnesses the platoon of Gedoshu that Shitari gathered to destroy Buredoran and reclaim the Sanzu River. However, before the attack can begin, Shitari and his Gedoshu legion are suddenly confronted by an unfamiliar group of space pirates claiming to be the 35th Super Sentai, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, much to DaiGoyou's shock. The Gokaigers easily wipe out the Gedoshu legion before transforming into past Red Rangers, with Captain Marvelous (as Go-on Red) using the Kankan Mantan Gun to dispose of Shitari once and for all. Afterwards, the Gokaigers spot DaiGoyou amidst all the action and tell him to keep their presence a secret before taking their leave. DaiGoyou gleefully watches them depart, vowing to keep the secret that they gave him.

In order to allow them to defeat Buredoran and Madakodama, the Goseigers use a special card to provide Takeru's vassals each with the power to transform into their Super mode (including Genta for the first time) and combining their powers the two are beaten, however, Buredoran sends Sanzu River heading towards the portal to Gosei World. Takeru suggests to his vassals that they use the sealing character to push back the Sanzu waters, confident that they are strong enough together to use it. The Goseigers then use their defense cards to close the portal, and by combining their efforts, Gosei World is saved. However, at this point Buredoran enlarges with the Bibi Bugs while Madakodama assumes his second life. The assembled teams battle in Ground Gosei Great and Daikai ShinkenOh with DaiGoyou and Datas Hyper providing backup. Though Madakodama is destroyed, Buredoran survived and attempts to destroy the robots with his signature attack. With the Shinkengers' encouragement, the Goseigers form Ground Hyper Gosei Great and manage to take down Buredoran with the Mojikara Headder Strike.

Later, the Shinkengers and Hikoma bid a final farewell to the Goseigers and Datas before leaving. The Goseigers remark on how close a samurai's bond is and Alata suggests they all become samurai. However the others don't like the idea of Alata being their lord, so the idea is quickly dropped and the friends head back to the Amachi Institute.

## Continuity and Placement

* *Samurai Sentai Shinkenger*: Occurs some time after the final act.
* *Tensou Sentai Goseiger*: Set between Epic 32 and Epic 33, due to the absence of the Yuumajuu and Matrintis. (solidified in an episode of the next series, where this occurs the day before the airing of the first Matrintis battle and a future enemy is already researching them) However, certain plot points in this film do not make sense in-story until revelations that occur in Epic 45.

## Notes

* First and only appearance of Ground Hyper Gosei Great, as well as Gedou Shinken Red and Super Shinken Gold.
* This is one of the few Vs. Movies in which the main antagonist of the film is also the main antagonist from one of the two featured series, rather than an entirely new villain with connections to the lore of one or both of the seasons. In this case, Buredoran of the Chimatsuri is yet another identity assumed by *Goseiger*’s main villain, Brajira.
* Nozomu and Professor Amachi cheering with glasses of wine is an in-joke reference of the trademark item of Louis Yamada LIII, the latter's actor.
* Crossover group shots were featured during Gokaiger's sequence in the ending credits.
