Line #16 Recap/ResshaSentaiTokkyugerVsKamenRiderGaim


1	'''''Ressha Sentai [=ToQger=] Vs. Kamen Rider Gaim Spring Vacation Combining Special''''' is an one-hour ''Series/SuperHeroTime'' special where [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Kamen Rider Gaim and his fellow Armored Riders]] meet up with the Series/ResshaSentaiToQger. The first of a new trend of crossovers between ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' following the prototype 'World of Shinkenger' two-parter of ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' which also featured cameos from said series' characters in two episodes of ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger''.\

3	The [=ToQgers=] stop at a train station near Zawame City whose citizens are friendly all the time and no Shadow Line activity seems to take place. However, while exploring the city and getting ready to dine on the local food, a threat emerges in the form of an Inves. When the [=ToQgers=] try to confront this enemy, they bump into Kouta Kazuraba who transforms into the protector hero of Zawame City, Kamen Rider Gaim.

6	! Tropes
7	* AbandonedByTheCalvary: Only partially as while Riders 1 and 2 and V3 rescue the ToQger's and wish them well they rather pointedly scoff at Gaim and Baron and refuse to lift a finger to help them saying that while they're perfectly willing to help out members of Super Sentai they will not associate with Heisei Riders. This foreshadows their conflict in the upcoming Showa vs Heisei Riders film.
8	* BehemothBattle: [=ToQ-Oh=] vs. a giant Lion Inves.
9	* BigDamnHeroes: The first three Showa Riders, [[Series/KamenRider Riders 1 and 2]], and Series/KamenRiderV3, appear to rescue the [=ToQgers=] from Kamen Rider Fifteen.
10	* {{Crossover}}: It's right there in the title.
11	* CurbStompBattle: The [=ToQgers=] receive this from Fifteen before the Showa Riders come to help them.
12	* DelayedReaction: When Kamen Rider Gaim and the [=ToQgers=] transform for the first time to fight the monsters, they stopped their posing when they finally noticed the other transforming. When they all fully transformed, they stood staring at each other for a few moments before suddenly exclaiming in surprise.
13	--> '''Kouta:''' HENSHIN!
14	--> '''Rider Belt:''' Lock On!
15	--> '''Sentai Band:''' Now transforming. Please stay behind the white line.
16	--> '''Right, Tokatti, Mio, Hikari, and Kagura:''' TOQ CHANGE!
17	--> '''Rider Belt:''' Soiya!
18	--> ''(Both transform)''
19	--> '''Kouta:''' ''(pauses posing and notices the Rainbow Line Sentai transforming)'' Huh? ''(Henshin is still going)''
20	--> '''Rider Belt:''' Orange Arms! In the spotlight on stage!
21	--> '''Right, Tokatti, Mio, Hikari, and Kagura:''' ''(pauses posing and notices Kouta transforming)'' Huh? ''(Henshin is still going)''
22	--> '''Sentai Band:''' TOQ ICHIGOU! NIGOU! SANGOU! YONGOU! GOGOU!
23	--> ''(Transformations complete. {{Beat}})''
24	--> '''Kouta:''' ...
25	--> '''Right, Tokatti, Mio, Hikari, and Kagura:''' ...
26	--> '''Everyone:''' EEEEEEHHH!!??!?
27	* EarlyBirdCameo: Kamen Rider Fifteen, Badan's evil Rider, makes his first appearance here.
28	* LegionOfDoom: The Underground Empire Badan, the villains of the movie who originally appeared in the [[Film/KamenRiderZX ZX special]], make their first appearance here.
29	* MakeMyMonsterGrow: A Lion Inves grows to [[HumongousMecha Sentai Robo]] size after eating a bunch of Helheim fruits, luckily at the right time that [=ToQ-Oh=] is in town to stop it.
30	* MonsterOfTheWeek: Moguraroid, a mole monster of the Underground Empire Badan, who appears exclusively in this special.
31	* MythologyGag: Mio, [=ToQ 3=], openly questions why V3 isn't just named #3 like his two predecessors. The original incarnation of the third Kamen Rider, who had never made it to TV, was indeed just Kamen Rider #3 and appeared not too disimilar to the Double Riders.
32	* {{Prequel}}: To Film/HeiseiRiderVsShowaRiderKamenRiderWarsFeaturingSuperSentai, which premiered the day before.
33	* ProductionForeshadowing: A reimagined incarnation of Kamen Rider 3 would star in the next Spring Taisen, ''[[Film/SuperHeroTaisenGPKamenRider3 Super Hero Taisen GP]]''. Furthermore, like Fifteen before him, he even makes an EarlyBirdCameo in the next Spring Vacation Special, ''[[Recap/ShurikenSentaiNinningerVsKamenRiderDrive Ninninger vs. Drive]]''.
34	* VersusTitle: In this case, there is no conflict between the starring heroes.
