Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle Team Analysis Part 12: The GoGoFive Team and the TimeRangers
The Rescue Soldiers and the Life Savers of the Super Rescue Lab has turned into Life Destroyers/Killers seeking the lives of the other Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams. And in the future, the Time Defense Bureau had once again met a man from the past and this time, they became hostile against each other despite 1,000 years difference. This means that they are the violators of the Time Protection Law so that the Bureau will be disbanded.
Welcome back, everyone!
Last time we met, we analyze the opposing teams the MegaRangers/Mega Rangers of 1997 and the GingaMan/Galaxy Men of 1998 belong.
So now, we moved on to the next two Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams, in which on one side, the end of the 1990's and on the other side, the start of the 21st Century or the beginning of the new millennium and a new decade, the 2000's.
In short, the twenty-third and the twenty-fourth Super Sentai (Squadron) Series.
So, what are the teams, you ask?
They are: Kyuukyuu Sentai GouGouFaibu (Emergency/Rescue Squadron GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five) from February 21, 1999 Sunday to February 6, 2000 Sunday and Mirai Sentai TaimuRenjaa (Future Squadron TimeRanger/Time Rangers) from February 13, 2000 Sunday to February 11, 2001 Sunday.
These two shows from Japan were adapted in the United States as Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue of 2000 and Power Rangers Time Force of 2001 respectively.
So, it's the Emergency/Rescue Soldiers Vs. the Time Police of the 31st Century!
Analyzing these teams into opposing factions is so important so let's continue our analysis on them, alright?
Good.
23) The GoGoFive Team
Capital City Fire Department Fire Battalion Chief Matoi Tatsumi/GoRed/FiveRed Mk. II/Red One Mk. II is now 44 Years Old, Capital City Fire Department Chemical Firefighting Brigade Fire Captain Nagare Tatsumi/GoBlue/FiveBlue Mk. II/Blue Two Mk. II is now 43 Years Old, Capital City Fire Department Helicopter Brigade Fire Lieutenant Shou Tatsumi/GoGreen/FiveGreen/Green Three is now 42 Years Old, Capital City Police Department Police Superintendent Daimon Tatsumi/GoYellow/FiveYellow Mk. II/Yellow Four Mk. II is now 41 Years Old and National Seaside Hospital Dr. Matusri Tatsumi M.D./GoPink/FivePink Mk. II/Pink Five Mk. II is now 40 Years Old.
They are the Tatsumi Siblings of the Super Rescue Lab headed by their mentor and a father at the same time, Professor Mondo Tatsumi and their mother, Ritsuko Tatsumi.
20 years later, unbeknownst to Mondo, Ritsuko and Shou's Superior Kyoko Hayase, formerly Sieg/Zeek Jeanne, the Tatsumi Siblings went to the planet Nemesis (Whether this planet was included in the Grand Cross of August 11, 1999 Wednesday, it's up to the fans for their own conclusions.) for a bitter rivalry and jealously, not knowing that it was Rita who brainwashing them into thinking that the once Emergency/Rescue Soldiers are turning into Life Destroyers/Killers and they turned up the heat by hating not just against each other, but also the other Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams as well.
This is insanity!
And now, the teams the Tatsumi Siblings belong to are here, so read this!
Capital City Fire Department Fire Battalion Chief Matoi Tatsumi/GoRed/FiveRed Mk. II/Red One Mk. II: Leader Team
Capital City Fire Department Chemical Firefighting Brigade Fire Captain Nagare Tatsumi/GoBlue/FiveBlue Mk. II/Blue Two Mk. II: Scientist Team
Capital City Fire Department Helicopter Brigade Fire Lieutenant Shou Tatsumi/GoGreen/FiveGreen/Green Three: Vehicle Team
Capital City Police Department Police Superintendent Daimon Tatsumi/GoYellow/FiveYellow Mk. II/Yellow Four Mk. II: Police Team
National Seaside Hospital Dr. Matsuri Tatsumi M.D./GoPink/FivePink Mk. II/Pink Five Mk. II: Serious Team
A very long list, huh?
And now, the Tatsumi Siblings are ready to fight against each other and the other Super Sentai (Sqaudron) Teams and two other rival siblings, the Hoshikawa Siblings of FiveMan/Five Men of 1990 and the Ozu Siblings and Family of MagiRanger/Magic Rangers/Magical Rangers of 2005 (We already covered the Hoshikawa Siblings, but we'll analyze the Ozu Siblings and Family in the next few days, so watch out for that!), which is like a Family Feud but in a violent way!
Ouch!
Here are the results of this bloody tournament, so if you are asking for medic or any assistance in space, they won't come to them since Rita has created a barrier that prevents communication to Earth and other planets and mecha summoning.
Results, please!
I want them already!
Round Of 32
Nagare's, Daimon's and Matsuri's Teams were defeated while Matoi's Team defeated the Frivolous Team and Shou's Team defeated the Legendary Team but at a price: Shou was disappeared along with his other teammates, Natsumi Shinohara/Yellow Racer of CarRanger/Car Rangers and allegedly, Saki Rouyama/Go-On Yellow/Yellow Go On Ranger of Go-Onger/Go On Rangers.
Take note that Matsuri's Team was defeated by the Oddball Team.
Also take note that Shou was with his Vehicle Teammates Natsumi and Eiji Takaoka, the Dazzling Adventurer/BoukenSilver/Silver Adventure Ranger of Boukenger/Adventure Rangers fighting against Kanpei Kuroda/Goggle Black of Goggle Five, Air Force Lt. Gen. Yuuma Oozora/Change Peagsus of ChangeMan/Change Men and U.A.O.H. Air Force Maj. Juri Nijou/OhYellow/Yellow Queen Ranger Two of OhRanger/King Rangers of the Legendary Team.
I just wanna see how Kagura Izumi/TokkyuuGoGou/ToQ 5gou/Limited Express Ranger No. 5 of Tokkyuuger/ToQger/Limited Express Rangers of the Oddball Team defeated her Senior Pink Sentai (Squadron) Warriors of the Serious Team Matsuri and Sakura Nishihori, The Deep Adventurer/BoukenPink/Pink Adventure Ranger of Boukenger/Adventure Rangers in the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle Director's Cut DVD.
So, all of the Tatsumi Siblings except Matoi were disappeared, taken away by Rita and were imprisoned in her gem.
Round Of 16
Despite Shou's absence, his remaining members of the Vehicle Team were defeated by the Oddball Team while Matoi's Team had stood its ground unopposed...for now.
Quarterfinals
Matoi's Team was defeated by the Martial Artist Team and he was joined in the gem imprisonment system.
The Tatsumi Siblings were suffering in Rita's gem and they faced their worst suffering when she revived Great Satan, the main villain of ZyuRanger/Beast Rangers after 26 years.
Sorry, no EMT or Astro-Rescue in space, guys!
As Great Satan was transformed into Ultimate Great Satan, the Oddball Team fought back by summoning Goukai/Gokai/Heroic Galleon to smash the gigantic floating being's head and once they evacuated, they were aided by the Red Sentai (Squadron) Warriors' Spirits to kill the Ultimate Great Satan into multiple pieces the second time around.
Boy!
That was the worst galactic phenomenal event in space ever since the Grand Cross of 1999!
However, Rita was wearing Gaisorg's/Gaisoulg's armor and blasted the Oddball Team and then held Kagura hostage when two Ryuusoulgers/Ryusoulgers/Dinosoul Rangers/Saur Soul Rangers Towa/RyuusoulGreen/RyusoulGreen/Green Dinosoul Ranger/Green Saur Soul Ranger and Bamba/RyuusoulBlack/RyusoulBlack/Black Dinosoul Ranger/Black Saur Soul Ranger rescued her from Rita-Gaisorg/Gaisoulg and at the same time, separated Gaisorg's/Gaisoulg's armor from Rita.
And as her gem was shattered, the Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams, including the Tatsumi Siblings, were allegedly released.
24) The TimeRangers
In 3019 A.D., the leader of the TimeRangers/Time Rangers Yuuri/TimePink/Pink Time Ranger, who is now 40 Years Old, is still lonely and heartbroken and is still has no family of her own.
Her fellow Time Defense Bureau comrades-Ayase/TimeBlue/Blue Time Ranger, now 41 Years Old with no Osiris Syndrome; Sion the Hummardian/TimeGreen/Green Time Ranger, now 36 Years Old; and Domon/TimeYellow/Yellow Time Ranger, now 41 Years Old- had tried to cheer her up and forget the man from the past (which is our present time) Tatsuya Asami/TimeRed/Red Time Ranger, who is now 41 Years Old.
The only missing TimeRanger/Time Ranger as of this year (2019 A.D.) is none other than the late Naoto Takizawa/TimeFire/Fire Time Ranger, who was supposed to be 47 Years Old this year.
But that didn't happen because he was killed by a Zenitt on January 28, 2001 A.D. at the age of 29.
The members of the City Guardians were at an event in the cemetery laying their flowers to their fallen comrades' graves, including Naoto.
Suddenly, a time warp appeared before them in 3019 A.D. and the TimeRangers/Time Rangers had accepted the invitation from the past and they met Tatsuya again, now head of the Asami Group in 2019 A.D., midway in space and they went to a planet called Nemesis (Some sources said that it was either near or far away from Hummard, Sion's home planet and whether this planet will disappear a thousand years later, it's up to the fans for their own conclusions.).
And now, Yuuri, who was once Tatsuya's millennial lover, is gonna hate him, the other TimeRangers/Time Rangers and the other Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams.
They don't know that a villainess from the past, Rita, is gonna make them the suspects and the violators of the Time Protection Law, so that the Time Defense Bureau will be disbanded.
And so, here are the teams the TimeRangers/Time Rangers belong to:
Tatsuya Asami/TimeRed/Red Time Ranger: Martial Artist Team
Ayase/TimeBlue/Blue Time Ranger: Cool Team
Sion the Hummardian/TimeGreen/Green Time Ranger: Brain Team
Domon/TimeYellow/Yellow Time Ranger: N/A
Yuuri/TimePink/Pink Time Ranger: Police Team
Naoto Takizawa/TimeFire/Fire Time Ranger: N/A
TOEI does it again!
I don't understand why Domon and Naoto were excluded in the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle list.
Yes, Domon is a wrestler from the year 3019 A.D. and Naoto was a security fighter or combatant until his untimely death in 2001 A.D., but weren't make it in the categories list?
How I wished Domon should've been in the Super Strong Team and Naoto should've created his own team together with some of his deceased Super Sentai (Squadron) Sixth and Extra Heroes before and after him.
So, I suspected that TOEI make Shuuhei Izumi's character Domon remained in 3019 A.D. while Shinji Kasahara's character Naoto remained deceased since 2001 A.D.
Big blunder, TOEI!
Regardless, let's take a look at the results of this bloody tournament, which took place in planet Nemesis in 2019 A.D.:
Round Of 32
Ayase's and Yuuri's Teams were defeated while Tatsuya's Team defeated the Black Warrior Team and Sion's Team defeated the Speed Team.
Take note that on one side of this round, Ayase was with his Cool Teammate Kazu of the Heavenly Time Star/KirinRanger/QilinRanger/Giraffe Ranger of DaiRanger/Great Rangers (1993 A.D.) fighting against Lou/Pink Flash/Pink Flash Woman of FlashMan/Flash Men (1986 A.D.) and Ryouma/GingaRed/Red Galaxy Man of GingaMan/Galaxy Men (1998 A.D.) of the Space Team.
On the other side, Sion was with his Brain teammate Gaku Hoshikawa/FiveRed/Red Five Man of FiveMan/Five Men (1990 A.D.) fighting against Ako Hayasaka/Blue Swallow of JetMan/Jet Men (1991 A.D.) and Shouji of the Heavenly Gravity Star/TenmaRanger/Pegasus Ranger of DaiRanger/Great Rangers (1993 A.D.) of the Speed Team.
As a result, Ayase and Yuuri were disappeared, taken away by Rita and were imprisoned in her gem.
Round Of 16
Sion's Team was eliminated, which leads to him being included in Rita's gem imprisonment system.
Meanwhile, Tatsuya's Team had stood their ground unopposed...for now.
Quarterfinals
Tatsuya's Team defeated the Leader Team.
Semifinals
Tatsuya was with his teammate Ryou of the Heavenly Fire Star/RyuuRanger/RyuRanger/Dragon Ranger of DaiRanger/Great Rangers (1993 A.D.) of the Martial Artist Team fighting against Gouki/GingaBlue/Blue Galaxy Man of GingaMan/Galaxy Men (1998 A.D.) and Soutarou Ushigome/GaoBlack/Black Roaring Ranger (2001 A.D.) of the Super Strong Team when Gaisorg/Gaisoulg joined in unannounced for some more intensifying action.
Not knowing that inside of the cursed armor was Stinger/Sasori Orange/Orange Scorpion Ranger of KyuuRanger/KyuRanger/Nine Rangers/Sphere Rangers of the Oddball Team!
This resulted in the disappearances of all of the said rival characters (Ryou and Soutarou were at first disappeared (later revealed to be in Rita's gem), then Gouki and Tatsuya were sucked into her gem for further suffering).
But in the real results of the semifinals series, it was Tatsuya's Martial Artist Team that won over the Super Strong Team.
Finals
It would've nice to see Tatsuya's Martial Artist Team fighting against the three other Red Sentai (Squadron) Warriors of the Oddball Team-Captain Marvelous/GoukaiRed/GokaiRed/Red Heroic Rangerof Goukaiger/Gokaiger/Heroic Rangers of 2011 A.D., Takaharu Igasaki/AkaNinger/Red Ninja/Endurance Ranger of Ninninger/Ninja/Endurance Rangers of 2015 A.D. and Yamato Kazakiri/Zyuoh Eagle/Eagle Beast King Ranger of Zyuohger/Beast King Rangers of 2016 A.D.-in an intense Finals match.
This doesn't seemed to be materialized.
However, since Rita had cancelled the match, the four of the six TimeRangers/Time Rangers (excluding Domon and Naoto) were suffering inside her gem and worst of all, when she revived Great Satan, the main villain of ZyuRanger/Beast Rangers of 1992 A.D., they were suffering even further and were running out of their breaths and began vomiting.
How awful!
When Great Satan transformed into Ultimate Great Satan, he attempted to blasted the Oddball Team, but the latter fought him back by summoning Goukai/Gokai/Heroic Galleon of 2011 A.D. and it smashes through the gigantic head.
They evacuated the galleon in time and the Red Sentai (Squadron) Warriors' Spirits, who were seeking for justice, aided them in defeating the gigantic floating being into multiple pieces the second time around.
When Rita, in her Gaisorg's/Gaisoulg's armor blasted the Oddball Team and taken Kagura Izumi/TokkyuuGoGou/ToQ 5gou/Limited Express Ranger No. 5 hostage, two Ryuusoulgers/Ryusoulgers/Dinosul Rangers/Saur Soul Rangers of 2019 A.D. Towa and Bamba had rescued the Sentai (Squadron) Heroine of 2014 A.D. and separate Gaisorg/Gaisoulg from Rita.
And her gem?
Well, it was shattered into multiple pieces and the Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams, including the TimeRangers/Time Rangers save for Domon and Naoto, were probably set free from the gem imprisonment system.
The next you know is the arrest of Rita by one of the injured members of the Oddball Team, Stinger/Sasori Orange/Orange Scorpion Ranger of KyuuRanger/KyuRanger/Nine Rangers/Sphere Rangers of 2017 A.D..
I don't know if Rita was imprisoned in a Cryostasis Container like what the TimeRangers/Time Rangers did.
If she was the violator and the criminal of the Time Protection Law, she'll served a lifetime imprisonment and once she's escape from the penitentiary, she's probably gonna have a revenge against the Ryuusoulgers/Ryusoulgers/Dinosoul Rangers/Saur Soul Rangers for intervening the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle with no mercy.
We'll see if that will become a reality next year.
In other words, who is the true violator and the criminal of the Time Protection Law?
It's none other than Rita herself!
Totally unforgivable!
As for Lila, who is still wanted by the Time Defense Bureau until now, it's another story.
As GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five will have its 20th Anniversary event on September 1, 2019 Sunday, Atsushi Harada (Twitter: @pataya719) and Kayoko Shibata (Ameblo: shibata-kayoko) may have watched the miniseries last February and March.
Although it was clear that Atsushi may or may not have commented on the bloody tournament, Kayoko didn't gave any comments on her Ameblo site.
I wonder if this anniversary will be affected by the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle.
As for the TimeRanger/Time Rangers actors and actress, they didn't want to comment on the program they watched on TV Asahi.
And the worse part is that neither the GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five nor the TimeRanger/Time Rangers actors and actresses had reprise their roles because of their schedule conflicts.
So, will the GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five Team and the TimeRangers/Time Rangers return in 2021 A.D. for the 45th Anniversary of the Super Sentai (Squadron) Series?
We'll see if their futures and tomorrows remain certain for them.
And there you have it!
The Part 12 of our Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle Team Analysis featuring the GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five Team and the TimeRangers/Time Rangers.
Next time we'll meet again, we'll analyze the GaoRangers/Roaring Rangers of 2001, the warriors who have the Power Animals and the Hurricanegers/Hurricane Rangers of 2002, the second Ninja-themed Super Sentai (Squadron) Team with full of Wind, Thunder and Sky Elements of the Ninja.
It's a bloody clash, so stayed tuned for that!
Uh-oh!
I have an appointment, so I'll be back soon!
Update: The 20th Anniversary of Kyuukyuu Sentai GouGouFaibu (Emergency/Rescue Squadron GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five) was indeed held last September 1, 2019 Sunday.
It was also the same date when Kishiryuu Sentai Ryuusoujaa (DinoKnight/Knightosaur Squadron Ryuusoulger/Ryusoulger/Dinosoul Rangers/Saur Soul Rangers) Episode 24 "The Karate Dojo Of Love" was aired on TV Asahi.
The entire cast of the 1999 Super Sentai (Squadron) Series may or may not comment about the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle in which it had bad effects on their characters they played.
They sincerely apologized for not reprising their roles and will make up their lost time, probably by next year or 2021, the year in which the Super Sentai (Squadron) Series will have its 45th Anniversary.
But, will they kept their promise or not?
Last updated and revised: April 22, 2020 Wednesday 5:42 A.M. (0542H PHST)
Welcome back, everyone!
Last time we met, we analyze the opposing teams the MegaRangers/Mega Rangers of 1997 and the GingaMan/Galaxy Men of 1998 belong.
So now, we moved on to the next two Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams, in which on one side, the end of the 1990's and on the other side, the start of the 21st Century or the beginning of the new millennium and a new decade, the 2000's.
In short, the twenty-third and the twenty-fourth Super Sentai (Squadron) Series.
So, what are the teams, you ask?
They are: Kyuukyuu Sentai GouGouFaibu (Emergency/Rescue Squadron GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five) from February 21, 1999 Sunday to February 6, 2000 Sunday and Mirai Sentai TaimuRenjaa (Future Squadron TimeRanger/Time Rangers) from February 13, 2000 Sunday to February 11, 2001 Sunday.
These two shows from Japan were adapted in the United States as Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue of 2000 and Power Rangers Time Force of 2001 respectively.
So, it's the Emergency/Rescue Soldiers Vs. the Time Police of the 31st Century!
Analyzing these teams into opposing factions is so important so let's continue our analysis on them, alright?
Good.
23) The GoGoFive Team
Capital City Fire Department Fire Battalion Chief Matoi Tatsumi/GoRed/FiveRed Mk. II/Red One Mk. II is now 44 Years Old, Capital City Fire Department Chemical Firefighting Brigade Fire Captain Nagare Tatsumi/GoBlue/FiveBlue Mk. II/Blue Two Mk. II is now 43 Years Old, Capital City Fire Department Helicopter Brigade Fire Lieutenant Shou Tatsumi/GoGreen/FiveGreen/Green Three is now 42 Years Old, Capital City Police Department Police Superintendent Daimon Tatsumi/GoYellow/FiveYellow Mk. II/Yellow Four Mk. II is now 41 Years Old and National Seaside Hospital Dr. Matusri Tatsumi M.D./GoPink/FivePink Mk. II/Pink Five Mk. II is now 40 Years Old.
They are the Tatsumi Siblings of the Super Rescue Lab headed by their mentor and a father at the same time, Professor Mondo Tatsumi and their mother, Ritsuko Tatsumi.
20 years later, unbeknownst to Mondo, Ritsuko and Shou's Superior Kyoko Hayase, formerly Sieg/Zeek Jeanne, the Tatsumi Siblings went to the planet Nemesis (Whether this planet was included in the Grand Cross of August 11, 1999 Wednesday, it's up to the fans for their own conclusions.) for a bitter rivalry and jealously, not knowing that it was Rita who brainwashing them into thinking that the once Emergency/Rescue Soldiers are turning into Life Destroyers/Killers and they turned up the heat by hating not just against each other, but also the other Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams as well.
This is insanity!
And now, the teams the Tatsumi Siblings belong to are here, so read this!
Capital City Fire Department Fire Battalion Chief Matoi Tatsumi/GoRed/FiveRed Mk. II/Red One Mk. II: Leader Team
Capital City Fire Department Chemical Firefighting Brigade Fire Captain Nagare Tatsumi/GoBlue/FiveBlue Mk. II/Blue Two Mk. II: Scientist Team
Capital City Fire Department Helicopter Brigade Fire Lieutenant Shou Tatsumi/GoGreen/FiveGreen/Green Three: Vehicle Team
Capital City Police Department Police Superintendent Daimon Tatsumi/GoYellow/FiveYellow Mk. II/Yellow Four Mk. II: Police Team
National Seaside Hospital Dr. Matsuri Tatsumi M.D./GoPink/FivePink Mk. II/Pink Five Mk. II: Serious Team
A very long list, huh?
And now, the Tatsumi Siblings are ready to fight against each other and the other Super Sentai (Sqaudron) Teams and two other rival siblings, the Hoshikawa Siblings of FiveMan/Five Men of 1990 and the Ozu Siblings and Family of MagiRanger/Magic Rangers/Magical Rangers of 2005 (We already covered the Hoshikawa Siblings, but we'll analyze the Ozu Siblings and Family in the next few days, so watch out for that!), which is like a Family Feud but in a violent way!
Ouch!
Here are the results of this bloody tournament, so if you are asking for medic or any assistance in space, they won't come to them since Rita has created a barrier that prevents communication to Earth and other planets and mecha summoning.
Results, please!
I want them already!
Round Of 32
Nagare's, Daimon's and Matsuri's Teams were defeated while Matoi's Team defeated the Frivolous Team and Shou's Team defeated the Legendary Team but at a price: Shou was disappeared along with his other teammates, Natsumi Shinohara/Yellow Racer of CarRanger/Car Rangers and allegedly, Saki Rouyama/Go-On Yellow/Yellow Go On Ranger of Go-Onger/Go On Rangers.
Take note that Matsuri's Team was defeated by the Oddball Team.
Also take note that Shou was with his Vehicle Teammates Natsumi and Eiji Takaoka, the Dazzling Adventurer/BoukenSilver/Silver Adventure Ranger of Boukenger/Adventure Rangers fighting against Kanpei Kuroda/Goggle Black of Goggle Five, Air Force Lt. Gen. Yuuma Oozora/Change Peagsus of ChangeMan/Change Men and U.A.O.H. Air Force Maj. Juri Nijou/OhYellow/Yellow Queen Ranger Two of OhRanger/King Rangers of the Legendary Team.
I just wanna see how Kagura Izumi/TokkyuuGoGou/ToQ 5gou/Limited Express Ranger No. 5 of Tokkyuuger/ToQger/Limited Express Rangers of the Oddball Team defeated her Senior Pink Sentai (Squadron) Warriors of the Serious Team Matsuri and Sakura Nishihori, The Deep Adventurer/BoukenPink/Pink Adventure Ranger of Boukenger/Adventure Rangers in the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle Director's Cut DVD.
So, all of the Tatsumi Siblings except Matoi were disappeared, taken away by Rita and were imprisoned in her gem.
Round Of 16
Despite Shou's absence, his remaining members of the Vehicle Team were defeated by the Oddball Team while Matoi's Team had stood its ground unopposed...for now.
Quarterfinals
Matoi's Team was defeated by the Martial Artist Team and he was joined in the gem imprisonment system.
The Tatsumi Siblings were suffering in Rita's gem and they faced their worst suffering when she revived Great Satan, the main villain of ZyuRanger/Beast Rangers after 26 years.
Sorry, no EMT or Astro-Rescue in space, guys!
As Great Satan was transformed into Ultimate Great Satan, the Oddball Team fought back by summoning Goukai/Gokai/Heroic Galleon to smash the gigantic floating being's head and once they evacuated, they were aided by the Red Sentai (Squadron) Warriors' Spirits to kill the Ultimate Great Satan into multiple pieces the second time around.
Boy!
That was the worst galactic phenomenal event in space ever since the Grand Cross of 1999!
However, Rita was wearing Gaisorg's/Gaisoulg's armor and blasted the Oddball Team and then held Kagura hostage when two Ryuusoulgers/Ryusoulgers/Dinosoul Rangers/Saur Soul Rangers Towa/RyuusoulGreen/RyusoulGreen/Green Dinosoul Ranger/Green Saur Soul Ranger and Bamba/RyuusoulBlack/RyusoulBlack/Black Dinosoul Ranger/Black Saur Soul Ranger rescued her from Rita-Gaisorg/Gaisoulg and at the same time, separated Gaisorg's/Gaisoulg's armor from Rita.
And as her gem was shattered, the Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams, including the Tatsumi Siblings, were allegedly released.
24) The TimeRangers
In 3019 A.D., the leader of the TimeRangers/Time Rangers Yuuri/TimePink/Pink Time Ranger, who is now 40 Years Old, is still lonely and heartbroken and is still has no family of her own.
Her fellow Time Defense Bureau comrades-Ayase/TimeBlue/Blue Time Ranger, now 41 Years Old with no Osiris Syndrome; Sion the Hummardian/TimeGreen/Green Time Ranger, now 36 Years Old; and Domon/TimeYellow/Yellow Time Ranger, now 41 Years Old- had tried to cheer her up and forget the man from the past (which is our present time) Tatsuya Asami/TimeRed/Red Time Ranger, who is now 41 Years Old.
The only missing TimeRanger/Time Ranger as of this year (2019 A.D.) is none other than the late Naoto Takizawa/TimeFire/Fire Time Ranger, who was supposed to be 47 Years Old this year.
But that didn't happen because he was killed by a Zenitt on January 28, 2001 A.D. at the age of 29.
The members of the City Guardians were at an event in the cemetery laying their flowers to their fallen comrades' graves, including Naoto.
Suddenly, a time warp appeared before them in 3019 A.D. and the TimeRangers/Time Rangers had accepted the invitation from the past and they met Tatsuya again, now head of the Asami Group in 2019 A.D., midway in space and they went to a planet called Nemesis (Some sources said that it was either near or far away from Hummard, Sion's home planet and whether this planet will disappear a thousand years later, it's up to the fans for their own conclusions.).
And now, Yuuri, who was once Tatsuya's millennial lover, is gonna hate him, the other TimeRangers/Time Rangers and the other Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams.
They don't know that a villainess from the past, Rita, is gonna make them the suspects and the violators of the Time Protection Law, so that the Time Defense Bureau will be disbanded.
And so, here are the teams the TimeRangers/Time Rangers belong to:
Tatsuya Asami/TimeRed/Red Time Ranger: Martial Artist Team
Ayase/TimeBlue/Blue Time Ranger: Cool Team
Sion the Hummardian/TimeGreen/Green Time Ranger: Brain Team
Domon/TimeYellow/Yellow Time Ranger: N/A
Yuuri/TimePink/Pink Time Ranger: Police Team
Naoto Takizawa/TimeFire/Fire Time Ranger: N/A
TOEI does it again!
I don't understand why Domon and Naoto were excluded in the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle list.
Yes, Domon is a wrestler from the year 3019 A.D. and Naoto was a security fighter or combatant until his untimely death in 2001 A.D., but weren't make it in the categories list?
How I wished Domon should've been in the Super Strong Team and Naoto should've created his own team together with some of his deceased Super Sentai (Squadron) Sixth and Extra Heroes before and after him.
So, I suspected that TOEI make Shuuhei Izumi's character Domon remained in 3019 A.D. while Shinji Kasahara's character Naoto remained deceased since 2001 A.D.
Big blunder, TOEI!
Regardless, let's take a look at the results of this bloody tournament, which took place in planet Nemesis in 2019 A.D.:
Round Of 32
Ayase's and Yuuri's Teams were defeated while Tatsuya's Team defeated the Black Warrior Team and Sion's Team defeated the Speed Team.
Take note that on one side of this round, Ayase was with his Cool Teammate Kazu of the Heavenly Time Star/KirinRanger/QilinRanger/Giraffe Ranger of DaiRanger/Great Rangers (1993 A.D.) fighting against Lou/Pink Flash/Pink Flash Woman of FlashMan/Flash Men (1986 A.D.) and Ryouma/GingaRed/Red Galaxy Man of GingaMan/Galaxy Men (1998 A.D.) of the Space Team.
On the other side, Sion was with his Brain teammate Gaku Hoshikawa/FiveRed/Red Five Man of FiveMan/Five Men (1990 A.D.) fighting against Ako Hayasaka/Blue Swallow of JetMan/Jet Men (1991 A.D.) and Shouji of the Heavenly Gravity Star/TenmaRanger/Pegasus Ranger of DaiRanger/Great Rangers (1993 A.D.) of the Speed Team.
As a result, Ayase and Yuuri were disappeared, taken away by Rita and were imprisoned in her gem.
Round Of 16
Sion's Team was eliminated, which leads to him being included in Rita's gem imprisonment system.
Meanwhile, Tatsuya's Team had stood their ground unopposed...for now.
Quarterfinals
Tatsuya's Team defeated the Leader Team.
Semifinals
Tatsuya was with his teammate Ryou of the Heavenly Fire Star/RyuuRanger/RyuRanger/Dragon Ranger of DaiRanger/Great Rangers (1993 A.D.) of the Martial Artist Team fighting against Gouki/GingaBlue/Blue Galaxy Man of GingaMan/Galaxy Men (1998 A.D.) and Soutarou Ushigome/GaoBlack/Black Roaring Ranger (2001 A.D.) of the Super Strong Team when Gaisorg/Gaisoulg joined in unannounced for some more intensifying action.
Not knowing that inside of the cursed armor was Stinger/Sasori Orange/Orange Scorpion Ranger of KyuuRanger/KyuRanger/Nine Rangers/Sphere Rangers of the Oddball Team!
This resulted in the disappearances of all of the said rival characters (Ryou and Soutarou were at first disappeared (later revealed to be in Rita's gem), then Gouki and Tatsuya were sucked into her gem for further suffering).
But in the real results of the semifinals series, it was Tatsuya's Martial Artist Team that won over the Super Strong Team.
Finals
It would've nice to see Tatsuya's Martial Artist Team fighting against the three other Red Sentai (Squadron) Warriors of the Oddball Team-Captain Marvelous/GoukaiRed/GokaiRed/Red Heroic Rangerof Goukaiger/Gokaiger/Heroic Rangers of 2011 A.D., Takaharu Igasaki/AkaNinger/Red Ninja/Endurance Ranger of Ninninger/Ninja/Endurance Rangers of 2015 A.D. and Yamato Kazakiri/Zyuoh Eagle/Eagle Beast King Ranger of Zyuohger/Beast King Rangers of 2016 A.D.-in an intense Finals match.
This doesn't seemed to be materialized.
However, since Rita had cancelled the match, the four of the six TimeRangers/Time Rangers (excluding Domon and Naoto) were suffering inside her gem and worst of all, when she revived Great Satan, the main villain of ZyuRanger/Beast Rangers of 1992 A.D., they were suffering even further and were running out of their breaths and began vomiting.
How awful!
When Great Satan transformed into Ultimate Great Satan, he attempted to blasted the Oddball Team, but the latter fought him back by summoning Goukai/Gokai/Heroic Galleon of 2011 A.D. and it smashes through the gigantic head.
They evacuated the galleon in time and the Red Sentai (Squadron) Warriors' Spirits, who were seeking for justice, aided them in defeating the gigantic floating being into multiple pieces the second time around.
When Rita, in her Gaisorg's/Gaisoulg's armor blasted the Oddball Team and taken Kagura Izumi/TokkyuuGoGou/ToQ 5gou/Limited Express Ranger No. 5 hostage, two Ryuusoulgers/Ryusoulgers/Dinosul Rangers/Saur Soul Rangers of 2019 A.D. Towa and Bamba had rescued the Sentai (Squadron) Heroine of 2014 A.D. and separate Gaisorg/Gaisoulg from Rita.
And her gem?
Well, it was shattered into multiple pieces and the Super Sentai (Squadron) Teams, including the TimeRangers/Time Rangers save for Domon and Naoto, were probably set free from the gem imprisonment system.
The next you know is the arrest of Rita by one of the injured members of the Oddball Team, Stinger/Sasori Orange/Orange Scorpion Ranger of KyuuRanger/KyuRanger/Nine Rangers/Sphere Rangers of 2017 A.D..
I don't know if Rita was imprisoned in a Cryostasis Container like what the TimeRangers/Time Rangers did.
If she was the violator and the criminal of the Time Protection Law, she'll served a lifetime imprisonment and once she's escape from the penitentiary, she's probably gonna have a revenge against the Ryuusoulgers/Ryusoulgers/Dinosoul Rangers/Saur Soul Rangers for intervening the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle with no mercy.
We'll see if that will become a reality next year.
In other words, who is the true violator and the criminal of the Time Protection Law?
It's none other than Rita herself!
Totally unforgivable!
As for Lila, who is still wanted by the Time Defense Bureau until now, it's another story.
As GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five will have its 20th Anniversary event on September 1, 2019 Sunday, Atsushi Harada (Twitter: @pataya719) and Kayoko Shibata (Ameblo: shibata-kayoko) may have watched the miniseries last February and March.
Although it was clear that Atsushi may or may not have commented on the bloody tournament, Kayoko didn't gave any comments on her Ameblo site.
I wonder if this anniversary will be affected by the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle.
As for the TimeRanger/Time Rangers actors and actress, they didn't want to comment on the program they watched on TV Asahi.
And the worse part is that neither the GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five nor the TimeRanger/Time Rangers actors and actresses had reprise their roles because of their schedule conflicts.
So, will the GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five Team and the TimeRangers/Time Rangers return in 2021 A.D. for the 45th Anniversary of the Super Sentai (Squadron) Series?
We'll see if their futures and tomorrows remain certain for them.
And there you have it!
The Part 12 of our Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle Team Analysis featuring the GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five Team and the TimeRangers/Time Rangers.
Next time we'll meet again, we'll analyze the GaoRangers/Roaring Rangers of 2001, the warriors who have the Power Animals and the Hurricanegers/Hurricane Rangers of 2002, the second Ninja-themed Super Sentai (Squadron) Team with full of Wind, Thunder and Sky Elements of the Ninja.
It's a bloody clash, so stayed tuned for that!
Uh-oh!
I have an appointment, so I'll be back soon!
Update: The 20th Anniversary of Kyuukyuu Sentai GouGouFaibu (Emergency/Rescue Squadron GoGoFive/Five-Five-Five) was indeed held last September 1, 2019 Sunday.
It was also the same date when Kishiryuu Sentai Ryuusoujaa (DinoKnight/Knightosaur Squadron Ryuusoulger/Ryusoulger/Dinosoul Rangers/Saur Soul Rangers) Episode 24 "The Karate Dojo Of Love" was aired on TV Asahi.
The entire cast of the 1999 Super Sentai (Squadron) Series may or may not comment about the Super Sentai (Squadron) Strongest Battle in which it had bad effects on their characters they played.
They sincerely apologized for not reprising their roles and will make up their lost time, probably by next year or 2021, the year in which the Super Sentai (Squadron) Series will have its 45th Anniversary.
But, will they kept their promise or not?
