Tensou Sentai Goseiger (天装戦隊ゴセイジャー Tensō Sentai Goseijā, [Note 1][Note 2]) is the title of Toei Company's thirty-fourth entry in its long-running Super Sentai Series of Japanese tokusatsu television series. It joined Kamen Rider W as a program featured in TV Asahi's Super Hero Time programming block, until the premiere of Kamen Rider OOO. The series ties in with the arcade game, Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O, with the characters using cards resembling Carddass cards used in the game to transform and access various weapons, similar to the concept of Kamen Rider Decade and its link to Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride. Its footage was used for the 2013 Power Rangers series, Power Rangers Megaforce.

The cast and characters were revealed at an event at Tokyo Dome City on January 30 and 31, 2010.[1][2] The protagonists also had a cameo appearance in the film, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger vs. Go-onger: GinmakuBang!!.[3]

Tensou Sentai Goseiger premiered in South Korea in July 2011 as Power Rangers Miracle Force. A June 2012 press release has revealed that the 2013 series, Power Rangers Megaforce, would adapt Goseiger (to the extent of re-using the names Gosei and Warstar). [4]

The phrase "Descent!" (降臨! Kōrin!) is utilized in the promotional materials for the series.

Story

The Maebashi City Museum of Water is used for exterior shots for the Amachi Astronomical Institute in Tensou Sentai Goseiger.

Unknown to the people of Earth, there is a branch of humanity called the "Gosei Angels" (護星天使 Gosei Tenshi) whose mission is to protect the Earth.[1] When the Earth is targeted by an evil alien invasion force called Warstar, they destroy the Heaven's Tower (天の塔 Ten no Tō), the bridge between the Earth and the Gosei World, home of the Gosei Angels, to keep them from interfering. However, five apprentice Gosei Angels are on Earth at the time and, while finding a way to return home, they become the Goseigers to stop Warstar. But soon after, the monstrous Yuumajuu emerge from their slumber and the Goseigers receive aid from a special being called Gosei Knight who once fought against the Yuumajuu in the past. But even after they defeat the Yuumajuu, the evil robotic Matrintis Empire rises to take over the Earth with the data acquired from the last two groups. Once they are defeated, the Goseigers face their greatest enemy in the one who has been manipulating the other groups from the very beginning: a rogue Gosei Angel who took their mission to protect the Earth to a dangerous extreme by planning to destroy all life and recreate the world in his image.[5][6][7]

The Goseigers

Main article: Goseigers

The Goseigers are members of the Gosei Angels (護星天使 Gosei Tenshi), humans born with mysterious powers who 10,000 years ago moved to the Gosei World (護星界 Goseikai) so as not to cause trouble for regular humans. Using the Heaven's Tower as a bridge between the dimensions, the Gosei Angels made it their mission to protect Earth. However, when the Heaven's Tower is destroyed, only five trainee Gosei Angels are left on the Earth to complete this mission.[5][6][7] The Goseigers are assisted by Nozomu Amachi, the only normal human who knows about them, and the robot Datas sent by the Gosei World's leading figure Master Head.

Alata/Gosei Red (アラタ／ゴセイレッド Arata/Gosei Reddo, [8])
Alata is the young and naïve member of the Skick Tribe. He is Eri's childhood friend.
Eri/Gosei Pink (エリ／ゴセイピンク Eri/Gosei Pinku, [8])
Eri is the motherly and optimistic Goseiger who is a member of the Skick Tribe.
Agri/Gosei Black (アグリ／ゴセイブラック Aguri/Gosei Burakku, [8])
Aguri is a hot-blooded warrior of the Landick Tribe who acts cool. He is Moune's older brother.
Moune/Gosei Yellow (モネ／ゴセイイエロー Mone/Gosei Ierō, [8])
Moune is the youngest member of the Goseigers and is a very straightforward member of the Landick Tribe.
Hyde/Gosei Blue (ハイド／ゴセイブルー Haido/Gosei Burū, [8])
Hyde is the oldest of the Goseigers and the only member of the Seaick Tribe on the team; his Seaick teammate Magis died before the beginning of the series.
Gosei Knight (ゴセイナイト Gosei Naito)
Gosei Knight is not a Gosei Angel, but the Groundion Headder who has been given powers from the Earth to protect it from the Yuumajuu.

Antagonists

There are three sets of antagonists in Tensou Sentai Goseiger, collectively referred to as the Evil Spirits (悪しき魂 Ashiki Tamashii). Though all three have different origins and background, the groups use the Bibi Soldiers and Bibi Bugs provided by Brajira, who poses as a member of each group in a different form depending on the group. Their names are modifications of various American films.

Warstar

The Universal Annihilation Army Warstar (宇宙虐滅軍団ウォースター Uchū Gyakumetsu Gundan Wōsutā) are the insectoid alien antagonists of the first sixteen episodes of the series who invade the Earth to use up all of its natural resources. Before their invasion of Earth, they realized that the Gosei Angels would be trouble for them, so they took out the Heaven's Tower in a pre-emptive strike.[5][6][7]

Yuumajuu

The Earth Condemnation Group Yuumajuu (地球犠獄集団 幽魔獣 Chikyū Gigoku Shūdan Yūmajū) are the invertebrate-like monstrous antagonists that first appear in epic 17 before being defeated in epic 32. After being freed from their ten thousand year imprisonment, they return to corrupt the Earth to their liking.

Matrintis

The Machine Onslaught Empire Matrintis (機械禦鏖帝国マトリンティス Kikai Gyoō Teikoku Matorintisu) are the marine life-themed mechanized antagonists that first appear in epic 33 before being defeated in epic 44. After studying the failures of Warstar and the Yuumajuu, Matrintis seeks to use this knowledge to overwhelm the Goseigers in order to enslave the human race.

Brajira

Brajira of the Messiah (救星主のブラジラ Kyūseishu no Burajira) is the series antagonist and final enemy, a mysterious Gosei Angel who turned evil and faced the Goseigers as Warstar's Buredoran of the Comet before joining the Yuumajuu as Buredoran of the Chupacabra and then later drafted into Matrintis as Buredo-RUN of the Cyborg. Once revealing his true form, Brajira uses his personal Gosei Headders, the Dark Headders, to fight the Goseigers while enacting his scheme to destroy the world and remake it in his own image as its Messiah.

  2. ↑ Goseiger (ゴセイジャー Goseijā) is a portmanteau of the Japanese words for "Guard" (護 Go), "Star" (星 Sei) and "Ranger" (レンジャー Renjā). The kanji Goseija (護星者?, Planet Guardians) is also featured in the series logo, located underneath the actual title.
