 Summary:

The Rangers go on a field trip to a big field to look for specimens and stuff for Mr. Hurley's class. Jake as always is eager to be with Gia but can't. Hurley then bumps himself with a rake after saying to be observant. Malkor orders Vrak to convince mutants to go after the Rangers. Noah and Emma spot an old chemical plant and see that toxic sludge keep seeping into the water.



The teens spot a big foot footprint and the field trip is over. Hurley says it is Big Foot, Jake doesn't believe it. Noah checks the sludge in his lab, Troy is concerned about the footprint. Bluefur and Bigs are an underground cave and plan to stop the humans, as revenge for the sludge. Vrak make them an offer. Bluefur is going to call a mutant to help. Back with the teens, Gia isn't there so Jake heads to find him.

 

Jake meets Gia at the lockers and are about to go to Ernie's together when they get called by Gosei. The five head to the city where Tensou sent them the coordinates. The mutant appears and faces the team. Bluefur and Bigs appear. Bluefur makes a footprint and the gang figure out the print was him. Bigs blames them for the toxins and destroy their environment. The MotD attacks them and Blue fights him individually. Yellow and Black get Bluefur and Red and Pink fight the blobby Bigs.

 

The five are gathered up and toxic waste is poured on them and they fall before the three mutants. A ball of light lands in a tunnel and Robo Knight walks towards them and presents himself. Troy recognizes his logo on his head.  Malkor demands to know about Robo Knight from Vrak and demands he is destroyed. The Rangers power up and take the sludge off. They fight the two generals. Robo Knight takes down the monster. Troy summons the Sky Brother zords and the five do a special sky attack. Bigs and Bluefur leave to be recharged.

The snake monster knocks Robo Knight down. He gets up without a scratch. He uses his Vulcan Cannon card with his Lion Blaster and destroys the monster. The Rangers thank Robo Knight. Vrak makes the monster grow. The monster changes into some sort of vehicle. Robo Knight tells them not to interfere and he morphs into the Lion Zord. The Rangers find it amazing. Lion Mechazord is created and says he was buried underground and has to protect the environment. He destroys the monster. He morphs back into Robo Knight.

 The Rangers run to him unmorphed and ask who he is. Noah says "You are a Robot Ranger and a zord." Troy extends his hand to welcome him and he just passes him. Later, the mutants and Vrak talk about destroying Robo Knight. Tensou runs around the command center saying "New Ranger New Ranger." Gia is mad and asks Gosei. Gosei says he created Robo Knight to protect the Earth, he gave them admirable qualities. The Earth itself woke him up. He says he might have lost some of his memor, not remembering Gosei created him or the Rangers. Gosei says their challenge is to win him over, he has to 

 
Review:

First I was bothered by the voice. With the echo-filled filter, I thought he sounded like Blue Senturion. But I have gotten used to his voice now. I feel the Rangers should had been in the base longer, they haven't been spending a lot of them there. I do like that Gia, Noah and Tensou all had to reinforce that Robo Knight was a sixth ranger, albeit a robot ranger. It was an entertaining episode but the backstory and exposition was sloppier than anything in Samurai.

KyoryuGold

 

 So KyoryuGold is not Torin, the mentor. Maru Utsuemi, a 400 year-old swordsman played by Atsushi Maruyama. 

Info from: http://henshinjustice.com/2013/03/27/the-sixth-kyoryuger-kyoryugold/

He fought alongside Torin against evil Devoss Army during the Sengoku era. He ended up being sealed inside his rival, Dogold, during their fight. 

As he is released, he swears to destroy the Devoss Army. KyoryuGold’s weapon is a sword called Zunder Thunder. With 3 batteries, he can activate his special attack, “Mysterious Lightning Afterglow”

His partner is Pteragodon, who turned evil while Maru Utsusemi was gone.

#2 - SPOILERS - Adapting Gokaiger into Super Megaforce

 The first:

If Lavender Ranger adapted Gokaiger into Super Megaforce 

http://henshingrid.blogspot.com/2013/02/if-lavender-ranger-adapted-gokaiger.html

Because of recent spoilers and revelations, I decided to make a new post of the old one.

THE FOLLOWING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE DRASTICALLY AS NEW INFO IS FOUND

So they will be using the Gokaiger suits, zords, monsters, arsenal and villains. Same Megaforce cast will transform into Megaforce suits (Goseiger) and then transform into Super Megaforce (Gokaiger) with presumably the Mobirates morpher and Ranger Keys (speculation) and become past teams. It is indeed confirmed that they will be using the changes into past teams. 

Episode 1

Gokaiger Episode: 1

Usable Footage: GokaiOh has been to seen in some trailers of Megaforce so pretty sure it will appear. Anyway, Gokaiger's first episode's useable footage is the Legend War, the 'Megazord' zipping around against the armada of villains and then the Rangers transforming and then changing to Mystic Force and Samurai.

Semi-confirmed factoid: So the Legend War will be first and then Gosei will give the five rangers new mode. FuryDiamond says Jake will indeed become Green, so every episode he will be going from Black to Green and sometimes back to Black.

Episode 2

Gokaiger Episode: 3

Usable Footage: Episode 2 of Gokaiger is more of a filler so Episode 3 can be used, when they receive the 'Mystic Dragon' or whatever they will call the dragon. So usuable footage is the Blue, Pink and Yellow Ranger becoming Black Dino Ranger, RPM Ranger Black and Black Aquitar Ranger. Then they fight the monster as Mystic Rangers and get the dragon.

My Explanation: Since Blue, Pink and Yellow transform into White Rangers but two of them are Sentai, they can always transform into White Wild Force Ranger, White Rhino Ranger and White Aquitar Ranger. They can have a former Mystic Force Ranger guest star, whoever they can get since they live in Australia and New Zealand. I think one or two are in America. NO CONFIRMATIONS ON MYSTIC FORCE CAST AS OF YET.

Episode 3

Gokaiger Episode: 5

Usable Footage: The Rangers transform into RPM Rangers without Red and then with Red, SPD Rangers and get a SPD zord.

My Explanation: The Rangers also become Dairanger, which was never PR so they can always reshoot that with another team (which has been confirmed with the Lost Galaxy pic below). The guest in the ep is Doggie Cruger, they can always have PR version or another SPD actor. Red and Yellow are in the US and the majority of the others are in Canada. I totally forgot that plot wise, SPD was set in the future, said 2025. In Operation Overdrive, when Sentinel Knight brought Bridge, the Red Ranger to 2007---they mentioned the future but not why he selected him. My own storyline would be that the SPD team was brought in for the big war and when they give up their powers, they became stuck in present time (whenever it might be, 2013 or 2014). So the Super Megaforce Rangers don't have to go to the future. NO CONFIRMATION YET ON CAST.

Episode 4

Gokaiger Episode: 7
Usable Footage: Red, Blue and Yellow become Wild Force Rangers. All 5 become Jungle Fury Rangers.
Confrimation of Episode: Even though we don't know the order, if they go in Gokaiger order, then it should be episode 4 or 5. If they are not going in order, then it probably episode 2 or 3. Jason Smith (Casey/Red Tiger Ranger) has been confirmed as guesting on Super Megaforce as Ciara Hanna tweeted two pictures of her and Jason.
CONFIRMED JASON SMITH (CASEY)

Episode 5

Gokaiger Episode: 9

Usable Footage: Episode 8 and 10 of Gokaiger are fillers. The Rangers find Anamirum and transform into two non-PR teams so they can always reshoot that. They later gain the Red Lion Zord and use it on their Megazord. I skipped Episode 7 of Gokaiger which has Jungle Fury in order to fulfill a plot point (Basco), save time and because JF has no actual new zord. But they can skip any other (Turbo, Lightspeed, etc.).

My Explanation: Pretty straightforward. Rick Medina (Cole) said kids might be confused if he returned as Cole if they know him as Deker. SB will have to pay a bill to fly one of the WF cast unlike Jungle Fury and Mystic Force. NO CONFIRMATION YET ON CAST.

Episode 6

Gokaiger Episodes: 11 and 12

Usable Footage: I squeeze those two episodes because to make more space for other episodes. In these two episodes they become MMPR and Lost Galaxy. Then the others without Blue transform into random Rangers, so they can reshoot the non-PR ones. They become Samurai Rangers and  then gain Samurai mode of their Lion/Megazord. In this episode, they meet the character who most likely will become Vrak's brother.

My Explanation: Word is that Alex Heartman came to New Zealand to shoot for Super Megaforce so it likely they got him for this episode. There is no confirmation on the number of the episode but if they follow Gokaiger, it would have to be after Wild Force since their new component that has Samurai influence involves the Wild Force Lion.
 CONFIRMED ALEX HEARTMAN (JAYDEN)

Episode 7

Gokaiger Episode: 14

Usable Footage: 13 is another filler, 14 is a Turbo tribute. They transform into MMPR and Turbo Rangers (our turbo, they do transform into Sentai's Turbo Rangers but that can't be used). There is no Megazord battle.

My Explanation: Most people want Justin back, but it is up to them and who can do it. This is still kinda filler-y so SB can always add some villain stuff from past or future episodes that were skipped.
NO CONFIRMATION ON CAST

Episode 8

Gokaiger Episodes: 17 and 18

Usable Footage/My Explanation: Silver Ranger debut. Hopefully they already casted him now. If they use the Goseiger suits instead of Gokaiger, they would have to reshoot scenes with GokaiSilver, like White Ranger (of Dairanger footage) with the MMPR. Episode 18 shows off his zord. He has the MMPR, Time Force and Dino Thunder powers. We have found a picture of the Lost Galaxy Rangers battling the monster from Episode 18 so it is likely the Megaforce Rangers change to Super Megaforce and changed to Lost Galaxy.

Since in Episode 18, the Gokaiger become Shinkenger and Sixth Rangers, I guess the PRSM producers wanted to squeeze one more team in there.

As of March 27, they are filming this. Everything else is more guesswork. 

Episode 9

Gokaiger Episode: 19 & 20

Usable Footage: In Episode 19, Silver gains armor. Episode 20 is the Lost Galaxy Episode. Basco uses Magna Defender, Wolf Warrior, Shadow Ranger and White Mystic Rangers against the Rangers. The five transform into the Lost Galaxy Rangers.

My Explanation: They can bring back Leo and Mike or anyone else. I squeezed these two episodes (19 and 20) together to save time.
NO CONFIRMATION ON CAST

Episode 10

Gokaiger Episode: 23

Usable Footage: Lightspeed Rescue Episode. Pink and Yellow become Mystic Force and a non-PR team. Five Rangers become Lightspeed Rescue. If they do use Titanium Ranger, they can reshoot that. Episode 22 was a filler. Episode 21 (Operation Overdrive) to fulfill a plot point (Basco stealing powers) but they could skip PRLR if they can't get any of those actors at that time.

My Explanation: They can bring back Dana of PRLR or whoever else.
NO CONFIRMATION ON CAST

Episode 11

Gokaiger Episode: 25 and 26

Usable Footage/My Explanation: Ninja Storm Episode. Red, Blue and Yellow become Dino Thunder and a non-PR team. In the footage, the Hurricanger return and transform and fight along side the Gokaiger. But if they can't get all 3 Ninja Storm Wind Rangers, then they can't use the footage. They can always reshoot the Megaforce Rangers becoming the Ninja Storm team if they can't get all 3. Maybe they just one for a cameo. The Rangers also receive a new zord. Episode 24 was a filler.
NO CONFIRMATION ON CAST

Episode 12

Gokaiger Episodes: 31 and 32

Usable Footage/My Explanation: Lots of usable footage here as the Rangers have to fight the Extra Heroes that Basco has. Also, they could use the cannon from episode 32 in here to save time. This is a Zeo episode as the five become Zeo Rangers. The Gokaiger episode had OhRed and OhPink, which would mean Tommy and Kat but most fans want Tommy back for MMPR. "Basco" villain has stolen 3 greater powers but they are non-PR, in order to save time, they can say they are In Space, Jungle Fury and Operation Overdrive or whichever teams they are unable to locate.

NO CONFIRMATION ON CAST

Episode 13

Gokaiger Episodes: 35 and 36

Usable Footage/My Explanation: Episode 33 was a Dairanger episode (non PR) and 34 was a filler of sorts. These two episodes are the RPM episodes. Scott (Eka Darville) had to be a fake name for his voiceover in the Samurai teamup but he told Fury Diamond in an interview that he wouldn't want to return. Dillon (Dan Ewing) is in Australia) and Gemma is said to still be in New Zealand while the rest of the cast are in the US. In the footage, they become SPD but also non PR teams so they can skip that. They become RPM and use a new zord. My take would be them going to the dimension where Venjix took over.
NO CONFIRMATION ON CAST

Episode 14

Gokaiger Episodes: 37 and 38

Usable Footage/Explanation: They mix in the showdown between the main villain and the Rangers and their own Greater Power. I hated to skip the 'In Space' episode but this is just an example, the 'Basco' character can steal other powers and we could have an In Space episode. Blue can also destroy the 'Sid' cyborg character. They destroy SPOILER Vrax's brother.

Episode 15

Gokaiger Episode: 40

Usable Footage/Explanation: Time Force episode. The Gokaiger traveled back and rescues a temple from Metal Alice and inadvertently leads to rescuing "Ninjor." I'm sure people will want Wes and Jen back for this one.
NO CONFIRMATION ON CAST

Episode 16

Gokaiger Episode: 45 and 46

Usable Footage/Explanation: Ninjor can come back and give them the Aquitar Rangers Greater Power. Why is Ninjor connected to the Aquitar Rangers? Well, in the Alien Ranger saga I watched again---they did say that Ninjor gave them their Battleborgs long ago. And MAYBE could explain what happened to Ninjor after a long time. Maybe Master Vile trapped him in a jar.

Episode 17

Gokaiger Episodes: 42 and 43

Usable Footage/Explanation: These episodes are Green-centric and they defeat the red villain 'Damaras.' Also Basco tells them they have 2 other powers.. Let's say for the case of this speculation, Basco steals the Aquitar powers and also gets the first Megaforce powers (Goseiger, if separate) so that makes five powers he stole (Jungle Fury, Operation Overdrive, In Space, Aquitar and Megaforce). It doesn't have to be those. It could also be Lightspeed Rescue, Turbo, Lost Galaxy, and Zeo if they can't find actors for those because those don't have zords.

Episode 18

Gokaiger Episodes: 47, 48 and 49

Usable Footage/Explanation: The final battle to defeat 'Basco' and get the Greater Powers that he stole. Preferably five in order to do the part where they get approval from one member of each team. In Gokaiger, they got approval from Flashman, Changeman, Sun Vulcan, Maskman and Fiveman. They each transformed into one of each team. Pink became Green Flash, Green became Change Griffon, Red became VulEagle, Blue became Blue Mask and Yellow became Five Yellow.

So in this situation, they can transform into one of (insert team), Operation Overdrive, In Space, Aquitar and Megaforce. But like I said before, it doesn't have to be those teams. It could also be Lightspeed Rescue, Turbo, Lost Galaxy, and Zeo if they can't find actors for those because those don't have zords. So in my fantasy, Pink can be Pink Overdrive Ranger, Green can be Black Aquitar Ranger, Red can be Red Space Ranger, Blue can be a Blue Ranger, and Yellow can be the Yellow Megaforce Ranger. Or if using Operation Overdrive, Lightspeed Rescue, Turbo, Lost Galaxy and Jungle Fury; it could be Red Overdrive Ranger, Pink Lightspeed, Blue Turbo, Green Lost Galaxy and Yellow Cheetah Ranger. And then they could get those actors like Rose (Rhoda Montemayor), Corcus (Alan Palmer), Andros (Christopher Lee), Robo Knight, and (insert Blue Ranger) to appear and approve of them. Also in Episode 49, they defeat the green villainess.

Episode 19

Gokaiger Episode: 50

Usable Footage/Explanation: The Rangers go against the whole army. Mammoth Ranger (MMPR Black) shows up. So we can have one of the MMPR actors in this one. Silver becomes Green MMPR Ranger and gives his shield to the Red Ranger to defeat villains. There is the whole 'Greatest Treasure in the Universe' thing that can grant a wish but the Rangers will no longer exist but who knows if they will use that.
NO CONFIRMATION ON CAST

Episode 20

Gokaiger Episode: 51

Usable Footage/Explanation: The Rangers decide not to the use the treasure and defeat the bad guys on their own. The Rangers use powerups in this episode (Shark Mode Red Samurai Ranger, Super Megaforce Blue, Yellow Cheetah Ranger Master Mode, Green Ranger SWAT Mode, Legend Mystic Pink, and Silver Gold Mode). They also transform into 1 of all 35 teams in Sentai, which they could reshoot or use parts of.

Halloween Special

The monster from Gokaiger Episode 33 looks ghoulish and they can use him for a Halloween special and use it as a clip show because the episode is more of a Dairanger tribute so they can reshoot battle sequences or not use it.

Christmas Special

Gokaiger Episode 44 can obviously be used for the Christmas special. It is where the Silver Ranger becomes a 'Christmas' Ranger. In the ep, all of them become Yellow Rangers which they can also use. Most likely SB will use this as a clip show like the Samurai specials.

So that is my take. It doesn't necessarily have to be this way and for sure will not be like this. If it was ideal, I would had done 36 episodes or more. But oh well. I also hate that I skipped episodes that would have Rangers becoming one color all which will probably only be the red ones in this adaption. But since now we found out the past teams are being reshot to fill in for pre-Zyu teams, they can always put in some same color suits.

For another view to the footage, check my fellow Power Force buddy Joe Rovang:

Here is my slapdash list of who might be available to return

 Subject to change, not 100% correct, maybe like 85% or 65%
Also Ari Boyland is in America, so his color should be yellow or blue.
