FACTOID # 77: Moldova has one of the smallest artillery forces in Europe, and the highest rate in the world of death by powered lawnmower. Coincidence? Surely not.

Non-SGS Allies

  • Kyoko (キョウコ Kyōko) (4): One of Satoru's ex-partners who went on an expedition with him years ago. While searching for a Precious, Satoru accidentally set off a trap which created a ring of fire that neither she nor Masaki could escape and Satoru could not reach them. Satoru swore to get help and rescue them, but the trap triggered an explosion, killing Kyoko and Masaki before Satoru could even leave to find help.
  • Shirou Masaki (柾木 紫郎 Masaki Shirō) (4, 18): One of Satoru's ex-partners who went on an expedition with him years ago. While searching for a Precious, Satoru accidentally set off a trap which created a ring of fire that neither he nor Kyoko could escape and Satoru could not reach them. Satoru swore to get help and rescue them, but the trap triggered an explosion, killing Kyoko and Masaki before Satoru could even leave to find help. Later on, Rei tricked Satoru into believing that Gai was Masaki, still alive, so he could shoot him with the Fighter's Crossbow. Eventually Satoru saw through the illusion and went on.
  • Selene the Burglar (怪盗セレネー Kaitō Serenē) (13): She had been seeking the treasures from the Bamboo Cutter's story. She had all but one when she ran into Souta, who later returned to protect her against Jakuryuu Lindorm. It was shown in the end that Selene could have been Princess Kaguya herself.
  • Ragi (ラギ Ragi) (15-16): Magi's apprentice. Once a human, he sacrificed his humanity in order to survive without water and was transformed into a Wicked Dragon by Ryuuwon, who dispatched him to find the Aqua Crystal. He could not regain his composure until Satoru took him under his protection. Eventually, Ragi was able to free the Aqua Cystal from a volcano and his transformation paid off. After Narga was terminated by Ultimate Daibouken, Ragi put the Aqua Crystal in its rightful place and returned to the City of Water, but, like his people, needs a special crystal on his tiara in order to even step into the sea waters and Satoru gave him a new crystal after Ryuuwon crushed the original.
  • Magi (マギ Magi) (15-16): An elder from the City of Water who did not want to see any more of his people perish in the search for the Aqua Crystal. Turned Ragi's section of the Crystal Document into water, but Satoru remembered it from earlier and helped Ragi find the Crystal. Ragi and Magi were reunited as the ocean returned.
  • Kando Takaoka (高丘 漢人 Takaoka Kando) (19-20): Eiji's father. While he was fighting Gai, Gai told a young Eiji that he was part Áshu and his mother was one of them. When Eiji's Áshu side came loose, Kando tried to calm Eiji down by embracing him, however Gai used this moment to slash him in the back. With his last breath he bestowed upon Eiji his shakujo so he could fight the Áshu.
  • Yuji Toba (鳥羽 祐二 Toba Yūji) (23): Souta's ex-partner from his times as a spy. Kidnapped Souta in order to know the place where SGS kept the secured Precious. It's later revealed that he actually was hired by the Questers and Rei would forcefully extract from Souta's memory the location of the building so they could steal the Precious and Toba would receive The Pearl of the Empire (Task 5) as payment. However, when the Questers finally locate the building and try to break into it with the Quester Robo Turbo, Toba detonated a bomb he installed in the cockpit previously, giving SirenBuilder and Ultimate DaiBouken the chance to destroy the robot.
  • Professor Hanzou Igarashi (五十嵐 半蔵博士 Igarashi Hanzō Hakase) (29): Archeologist, well known for being the only known researcher of the most ancient civilization known, Lemuria, as well as one of the only two men who can read Lemurian, the other one being Ryuuwon. Despises Sargess for its "ambition", and treasure hunters because of the destruction of many ruins at their hands in search of Precious. Has been searching for the last known Precious of the Lemurian civilization: "The Egg of Lemuria" and "The Golden Sword". Acknowledges Satoru when the Sword lets him wield it as only the right-hearted can touch "The Golden Sword".
  • Kousuke Shimada (島田 浩介 Shimada Kōsuke) (32): A last-in-everything that was accepted in the Adventurer School after being mistaken for Satoru. In class, he was always target of Shirubegami's "Chalk Attack" as he was always screwing up. After Shirubegami's plans are revealed, the unapproved alumni were thrown to the sea along with the Accelulars of Natsuki and Souta and just when the others were about to be sacrificed, Shimada appears with the recovered Accellulars and gives the Boukengers the chance to destroy the Tsukumogami and rescue the alumni. Touched by the adventurer spirit that Shimada showed when recovering the Accellulars, the Boukengers learn that adventure is not something to learn in a school.
  • Kouichi Akashi (明石 虹一 Akashi Kōichi) (movie): Satoru's father; also an adventurer.
  • Muse (ミューズ Myūzu) (Movie): A mysterious female who gave the message to the Boukengers about a new Precious.

Lemuria is the name of a hypothetical lost land variously located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. ...

Negative Syndicate

Main article: Negative Syndicate

Not much is known about the Negative Syndicate (ネガティブシンジケート Negatibu Shinjikēto?) other than it consists of various organizations and all their respective leaders, foot soldiers, and monsters who try to steal the precious and use them for evil deeds. And there is some animosity between the member groups. They occasionally work together to serve their own ambitions. The Negative Syndicate ) is a fictional series within the Japanese television show Gougou Sentai Boukenger. ...


Precious

Precious (プレシャス Pureshasu?) are the dangerous treasures that the Boukengers and Negative are fighting over. For a relic to be considered a Precious, it must be physically or technologically superior to any current human (or SGS-related) technology. The hand-held Accellular henshin devices use their half-open Scan Mode to determine the "Hazard Level" of each relic; the higher the number, the more important or dangerous the Precious is. Each relic that ends up in the Boukengers' hands is placed into a box that materializes from a card-like device. In each episode of the Japanese tokusatsu series *Gougou Sentai Boukenger*, it is the responsibility of the Boukengers to retrieve the Precious, dangerous treasures from long ago. ...

Trivia

  • The character designer has lately said in the Boukenger DVD that the villains are based in previous sentai's mecha and arsenal. Ryuuon resembles Daizyujin from Kyouryuu Sentai ZyuRanger, Yaiba resembles the Invincible Shogun from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, etc.
  • In honor of Super Sentai's 30th Anniversary, Carddas released the Rangers Strike Trading Card Game. Also, the Tokyo Dome hosted a Double Hero Festival in honor of not only the anniversary above, but also the 35th Anniversary of the Kamen Rider series. A Boukenger stage show, starring the first five Boukengers, was hosted on July 22, while a Kamen Rider Kabuto stage show (starring Souji, Arata, Hiyori, Sou, and Daisuke) was hosted the next day. The Dome was divided into a Show Stage, a Super Sentai Zone (further divided into a Red Hero Zone, a Giant Robot Zone, and a Supermachine Zone), a Kamen Rider Zone (further divided into an Ishinomori Era Rider Zone, a Post-Inshinomori Rider Zone, and a Superbike Zone), a Shop, a Sponsor Booth, and a Play Aera.
    • In the Go Go Crane card, the Go Go Crane itself can be seen accompanied by GaoGiraffe from Hyakujuu Sentai GaoRanger and both carry a steel I-beam. This is because GaoGiraffe was disguised as a crane until being awakened by GaoBlue.
  • This is the third sentai series to have closing remarks before the ending theme begins. Others include Dekaranger and Magiranger. It is also the second to have special segments after the ending credits, the first being Abaranger.
  • This is the first Super Sentai since Denji Sentai Megaranger that the color scheme has been Red, Black, Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver.
  • The mecha use the same combination tactics used in GaoRanger and Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, in that multiple arm and backpack components are interchangeable.
  • Episode #1500 was reached in this series, with Task 20, which reviewed Gosei Sentai Dairanger as part of the "30 Sentai Encyclopedia."
  • The first Super Sentai Series featured in widescreen 16:9 format and in HDTV.
  • The SGS abbreviation has a hidden Japanese word sagasu, which means "to search." The Sagasniper is a combination of both that word and "sniper" (more specifically, its "romaji" form of sunaipaa, thus making Sagasunaipaa), since it transforms from sniper rifle to metal detector.
  • On an interesting side note, the four groups in the Negative Syndicate are colored red (Jaryuu), white (Gordom), blue (Dark Shadow), and black (Áshu/Questers). The groups may somehow be connected to the notion of the Five Asian Elements & the Four Sacred Beasts.
  • This is the first Sentai series since Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman and arguably Kyouryuu Sentai ZyuRanger where the team was assembled and had their equipment and costumes prior to the start of the first episode. It could be argued that Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger falls under this category, although the main team was not fully assembled prior to the first episode, all of the Dekarangers had their equipment and costumes.
  • This series is the first since Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V to not feature a tense relationship between the leader and the second-in-command (though it still features an anti-hero character). It is also the first since Ohranger where the leader is treated as a higher authority by the other team members.
  • This is the first series since Abaranger to not have the main cast dancing to the ending credits.
  • From March 1 to June 30, a special "GouGou Sentai Boukenger Campaign" was put into operation. Fans who watched Boukenger would win a prize if they entered the correct number of Boukenger features, Precious features, Go Go Vehicle features, and Super Sentai features. In Task.30, the children who won this prize appeared as extras.
  • Boukenger's "Accel Tector" marks the first use of the word "Tector" as an armor name in Super Sentai in eight years. The last time that the "Tector" title was used was in the direct-to-video movie "Denji Sentai Megaranger VS Carranger" with the core Megarangers receiving Mega Tector armor. Previous uses include the Five Tector from Fiveman and the Battle Tector from Dynaman.
  • BoukenSilver is a departure from previous Silver Warriors, as instead of a flat silver color, he wears a metallic silver which shines like aluminium foil, but during fight scenes a flatter-colored silver suit is used , and the reflective silver helmet is replaced with a duller, non metalized looking helmet.
  • Aside from Mr. Voice's voice actor, who was the narrator for the previous 'Anniversary' series (as well as the original Himitsu Sentai Goranger), other actors from previous Sentai series have also made special appearances. Jimon Kagawa's actor previous played Great Professor Lee Keflen, the main villain in Choushinsei Flashman. Magi's actor previously played Tatsumi Mondo, father of the Tatsumi siblings and GoGo-V team in Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo V, and Ragi's 'human' form actor previously played Kai Samezu (GaoBlue) in Hyakujuu Sentai GaoRanger. Mami Higahsiyama who played Eiji's mother Kei, also played Miku Imamura (MegaPink) in Denji Sentai Megaranger, and Eri Tanaka and Keisuke Tsuchiya who both played as Natsuki's mother and father also played Chisato Jogasaki (MegaYellow) of Megaranger and Kazu Tenjisei (KirinRanger) of Gosei Sentai Dairanger.
  • Voice actor Shozo Iizuka, who has voiced many villains in tokusatsu series, including Super Sentai, returns to provide the voice of the main villain in the movie after 5 years since Hyakujuu Sentai GaoRanger VS Super Sentai.
  • While not a Sentai cameo, Kando, Eiji's father, is played by Hiroshi Watari, who played Den Iga (Sharivan) in Uchuu Keiji Sharivan and Yousuke Jou (Spielban) in Jikuu Senshi Spielban and also was one of VulShark's stuntmen in Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan. Yasuka Saitou (Masumi/BoukenBlack) also played Takashi in Mirrorman REFLEX.
  • The Accel Tector is unique from other powerups accessible to entire teams, in the fact that can be used only by one member at a time.
  • In the Boukenger continuity, Leon Giordana seems to be the equivalent to classic Renaissance icon Leonardo Da Vinci, as can be seen in his picture album some models resembling Da Vinci's designs.
  • Like Naoto Takizawa/TimeFire from Timeranger, Eiji is listed as a guest star until he is able to transform into a Boukenger.
  • In Task 7, Masumi and Natsuki make a reference to themselves. Masumi's actor, Yasuka Saitou, enjoys reading manga, and Natsuki's actress, Chise Nakamura is a bikini gravure model.
  • Satoru Akashi (BoukenRed) made an appearance at the end of episode 31 of Kamen Rider Kabuto in Tendou's restaurant, where he is served peas that are believed to be "Precious".
  • According to Thai-Toku, this will be the first series since Hurricanger to contain 51 episodes.
  • A second movie started production in May 2006. It is believed to be the Anniversary tribute.
