About a month ago, the February Hyper Hobby issue had an interview with Takeyuki Suzuki, a Toei Executive. In this interview, the upcoming 20th anniversary of Power Rangers was discussed. It took a while, but thanks to nerefir of Henshin Justice Unlimited (@purplevalkyrie on Twitter), we now have a translation of the Power Rangers portion of the interview. It confirms our suspicions from a month ago that Toei is indeed working on a Power Rangers Legend War, featuring “Zyu-On” only suits. Keeping in mind that it’s PR only, I’m sure Toei is aware to remove the five Dairangers! Now this doesn’t automatically mean that we’re getting Gokaiger instead of Goseiger, but it certainly supports the current theory that we are. Stay tuned as more information develops. Be sure to check out the full interview below, again courtesy of purplevalkyrie.

HH: 2012 is also the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers, isn’t it. Suzuki: At first we got an offer from America to do something like “199 Heroes,” but of course Power Rangers started with Zyuranger, so the characters before that don’t exist. “So just get rid of those parts.” (laughs) We can’t do that either, so the discussion became “Let’s just film new footage with the 20 years’ worth that we do need.”
HH: Power Rangers has already been reimported and dubbed with the voices of the actors that played in the Japanese original. That’s very interesting. Suzuki: Yes, once you get used to it, it’s very interesting. But there’s a cost to getting the actors to dub, so we can’t really do it much.
HH: Lately they have events even in Taiwan. In Asia, it’s not really “Power Rangers,” is it? Suzuki: I suppose. Originally they would just broadcast the Japanese version in east Asia. They’ve been doing that in Taiwan for 7 years now. It’s not really profitable, but they wanted to try it out, so they did it. It’s gotten an unusually good reaction.
HH: So then, what are the prospects for sentai, including Power Rangers, in 2012? Suzuki: In America it will be the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers, so they have to put forth a lot of work. In preparation for that, they asked us to “film the parts with the sentai (from Zyuranger on) in Japan.” We’re currently setting up for that.
refilming the Legend War... wah... though I think they'll have problem with that too.. because Tommy, the original Green Ranger, then White Tiger, then Red Zeo.. and a whole list.. lol.. it's like he can play the whole Legend War by himself
Episode 4. So there are many enetron tank, not only one. Pretty tight situation in this episode. Clap to the villain megazord today able to stole a little enetron to Messiah.
4 episodes so far, the mecha battle is still good. Next episode is a different director, I wondered other director will keep the quality of lead director in macha battle.

Watched gaven.. Swt that buster appear in the movie.. Did gokaiger appear too at the 34th sentai's movie? The idea of the show is nice. But hoping more on the unofficial ones ;p
What's up with Ryuji, is that how his weakness? look tension too much near the end of the epsiode. Still he acting weird in the next week episode.

Its started from Goseiger which appeared in Shinkenger vs Go-onger and Gokaiger appeared in Goseiger vs Shinkenger, also, where the episode of Timeranger focus in Gokaiger explained why the Gokaigers appeared in that versus movie.
The Fcck Machine Itashar (Named by Shinobu) can transformed (Hikonin Henkei) into robo mode. Because of the size of the car the robo transformation isn't as large as the official Super Sentai Robo. It's required AkibaRanger's large delusional powers to control it well.
From previous teaser 2, everyone though she was Bouken Yellow. But she's not. She is Kozu Kozu acted by Kozue Aikawa. She work as a maid at Super Sentai Cafe.
Shibuya Seitakaawadachisouhigenagaaburamushi (the fccK?). Evil Corporation Chief Clerk. A corrupted fashion otaku.
The legs look odd, it's like legs is too small. Everything else look good, maybe between the legs part has something to do with future combination. Can't wait to see them gattai in episode 6!
That's reminds me the idea......IF the Gokaiger obtained Kabuto keys......
Marvelous = Kabuto Joe = Drake @ Gatack Luka = TheBee Doc = Kick Hopper Ahim = Sasword Gai = Punch Hopper
The idea of transforming into rider is been quite a while since OOO appear. As in Red = Tajaldo Blue = Shauta Green = Gatakiriba Yellow = Latorartar Pink = Putotyra (Pink / purple) Silver = Sagohzo (Silver / white)
The appearance of riders keys also should lead to above combo. Will the new gokaiger form is current gokaiger suit + OOO form?
Interesting. Ryuji's weakness crazily dangerous! He's gone out of control after overheating and become evil.. brutally beating Metaroid ass lol bad, bad, he make Youko cry like a baby.. haha Also, what a stupid time there a chicken signboard while in mecha battle.. So mecha battle is back into studio stage, but still did combine with cgi environments.
Next week.. Hmm combine revelation? evolution? "Combine Operation" accrding to toei page. Oh so tall lol.
