History MythologyGag / KaizokuSentaiGokaiger

* The Gokaigers are essentially what Aka Red was during ''[[Film/GoGoSentaiBoukengerVsSuperSentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai]]'', that is being able to turn into a past ranger. [[spoiler:As of #2, this has gone beyond just a MythologyGag and is actually a key part of the plot, as Aka Red is the source of the Gokaiger powers. And as of #15, Aka Red is indeed revealed to be key to the plot, as he is the leader of the Red Pirates himself.]]

-->'''Nanonanoda:''' Ichi tasu Ni tasu... Ichi tasu Ni tasu?! [[labelnote:translation]]"One plus two plus... one plus two plus?!"[[/labelnote]]\\

** A DeletedScene shows the Gokaigers changing into the Zyurangers. The Zyuranger suits (or at least the core five) and the Ninjaman suit. [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Where have we seen that unlikely combination before?]]

* The Gokaigers are essentially what Aka Red was during Series/GogoSentaiBoukenger's anniversary special, that is being able to turn into a past ranger. [[spoiler:As of #2, this has gone beyond just a MythologyGag and is actually a key part of the plot, as Aka Red is the source of the Gokaiger powers. And as of #15, Aka Red is indeed revealed to be key to the plot, as he is the leader of the Red Pirates himself.]]

* In #50, a woman is telling her child to be brave in the face of the possible Zangyack armageddon by pointing out how Super Sentai have taught us to be courageous. She's not only referring to [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger]] and it's theme, she's holding a Magi Red plush toy that looks like the one Yuka had in Magiranger episode 25.

* In ''Gokaiger vs Gavan'', [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Yatsudenwani hitting on a female Yellow]] and [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Kegarshia going for the young male Green]] looks familiar. Not to mention Navi's "I'm not a bird!" CatchPhrase being reused by [[Series/GogoSentaiBoukenger Maboroshi no Gekkou.]]

* And yet another from ''Gokaiger vs Gavan'': Gavan was played by Kenji Ohba, who also played two Super Sentai Rangers - Battle Kenya (of [[Series/BattleFeverJ Battle Fever J]]) and Denzi Blue (of [[Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman Denziman]]) - so, of course, Battle Kenya and Denzi Blue make an appearance, and are key to helping Gavan.

** In a later scene, he cites "Unbelievable!" from Hoji of Series/TokusouSentaiDekaRanger.

* Also in #23, when Basco tries to siphon the [[Series/RescueSentaiGoGoFive GoGo V]] power from Matsuri, [[spoiler:nothing happens. After a brief fight, it's revealed that it was Ahim, in [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger MagiPink]] form, who stood in for her. Makes sense when you remember Houka's magic power was self-transforming (except there are no pink bows involved this time...)]].

* Zatsurig, the Action Commander of #41 (who turns out to be responsible for destroying planet Famille and killing Ahim's parents), uses an Evil Eye with GreenLanternRing abilities to fight, not too different from [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Wolzard]].

** In the same episode, the Gokaigers turn into a group of lion-themed Rangers to test Ninjaman's knowledge. When he guesses correctly, Joe (who has turned into [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Go-on Blue]]) utters "zubari seikai" ("just correct"), Renn's (the original Go-on Blue) CatchPhrase.

* Super Sentai Hero Getter is a basically an updated version of [[Series/HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger Super Sentai Tamashii]].

* And yet another from ''Gokaiger vs Gavan'': Gavan was played by Kenji Ohba, who also played the Super Sentai characters - Battle Kenya (of [[Series/BattleFeverJ Battle Fever J]]) and Denzi Blue (of [[Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman Denziman]]) - so, of course, Battle Kenya and Denzi Blue make an appearance, and are key to helping Gavan.

* Gai says "[[GratuitousEnglish Gokaiger Win]]" in the Megaranger episode after bringing down two of Basco's droids; where it was used by said team in their own series.

** Also as an ActorAllusion, the MonsterOfTheWeek, Zcien, is a scientist type who is voiced by JojiNakata, who played Liveman's [[BigBad antagonist]] Great Professor Bias. He even states before the giant mecha battle "The word 'defeat' is not in my vocabulary!", which was Bias' catch-phrase.

* Zatsurig, the Action Commander of #41 (who turns out to be responsible for destroying planet Famille and killing Ahim's parents), uses an EvilEye with GreenLanternRing abilities to fight, not too different from [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Wolzard]].

* Also in ''Gokaiger vs. Gavan'', when [[Series/SpaceSheriffGavan Retsu Ichijoji]] gives the opportunity for the Gokaigers to escape, he says "Farewell tears, hello courage!" In doing so, he gave Marvelous a hint as to who saved him when he was a boy. This would ultimately serve as Marvelous' motivation to rescue Gavan when he was ultimately captured and taken to Makuu Space.

* The color order of the Gokaigers' roll call is the same as that of ''Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman''. Respectively in that case; Yellow is the third ranger while Green is the foruth and Pink is the fifth.

* [[spoiler:The Great Walz resembles Dora Talos from ''KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' and it being given to Warz Gill by his father is like how Kai, Bondora's son, got Dora Talos. Like Kai, piloting the mecha lead to Warz's death at the hands of the Sentai team's ultimate Mecha.]]
