zenkaiger theories

[rubius]

i'm loving this show so far, but i have a few questions/theories about it and wanted to see if anyone else thought/wondered these.

1. the kikainoids trasformantion give them the head of the sentai megazords
Red = Zyuranger
Yellow = Gaoranger
Pink = Magiranger
Blue = Boukenger

2. Why the Gattai sequence resembles a Japanese Baseball game?
3. if there is a 6th member and what color/sentai will he/she be based on
4. Why does Zenkaizer look like a modified Goredger? no idea what the original sentai individually called themselves.
5. Why did they pull this kind of Anniversary thing on 45 and not 50? sure they pulled it off with Gokaiger on 35 and Jyuohger on 40 but every 5 years? why?

1. I mean, yeah.
2. I have no idea. Kinda out of left field (heh), isn't it.
3. Who knows. A lot of folks believe it'll be ninja-themed. I'm thinking it'll be themed after Gokaiger.
4. He seems to be a mix of Gorenger's Akaranger and JAKQ's BigOne. Why? Because "woo anniversary!!!". I mean, they have the Sentai 'V' in the title card, for crying out loud.
5. You would think they'd do something like this for the 50th. Makes you wonder what kind of craziness they've got planned.

My theory is that they actually had this series planned for 50 but had to move it up due to COVID

And my theory is that they got Akaranger's actor back this year, that's why they made this big. Who knows if he'll be there five years later.

That maybe true about the actor with COVID-19 and all, and to cheetahlynx i would say i agree with the ninja idea since there are 3 ninja sentai and only 1 pirate.

Here's another one, why do they use guns to transform like kyouryuger and kamen riders vulcan and valkyrie?

2. I have no idea. Kinda out of left field (heh), isn't it.

If nothing else, it's a good example of how spastic the theme is this year. Even as an anniversary season, Gokaiger was clearly pirates. But Zenkaiger? It's like they threw Sentai, baseball, dinosaurs, magic, vehicles, animals, generic superpowers, robot invasions, and two heaping handfuls of nostalgia into a blender and set it to puree. It really is all over the place. Other than having a single human hero, it doesn't have a very distinct identity right now.

Does Toei plan out that far in advance? I'm sure someone had some ideas batting around in their head as essentially fan service. But I would be surprised if they had anything specifically planned half a decade out.

Yeah that seems too far out to me. It's probably more like "45's an anniversary, let's do something"

This is the kind of thinking that makes 35 an amazing anniversary year and then 40 a totally lackluster one since it's just 5 years after the greatest anniversary series ever

I'm sort of wondering if the Zenkaiger web spin-off series is connected to the main series or if it's just something to give us headaches?

Web spin-off series? I hadn't heard of this. What is it, exactly?

Mainly a spin-off where the robot Zenkaigers get human forms or something

Maybe Zenkaiger is just its own entity in terms of universe placement, like Kyuranger. So it could go the Decade vs. Zi-O + Zi-O vs. Decade route where there's multiple incarnations of this particular universe and we'll be seeing some merging at some point during the show's runtime.

now that i think about it, what would happen if the evil noids used the world gear with a sentai team in it?
