Heh, so Navi literally becomes a door that's chained by 35 locks and the greatest treasure in the universe is literally the Triforce. Speaking of which, now's a good time for plugging this link: http://kotaku.com/5823249/the-real-hist ... e-triforceThere's more to the Triforce than Zelda! So the Grand Powers turns Navi into a door, the keys unlock them, and the treasure is literally the cosmic forge that creates all reality in the universe. What?! I can accept that the Earth has a bunch of powerful super heroes on it, but now we're the center of the universe and God lives in the core of our planet. I always hate it when stories do that since that kind of breaks the realism of things. Up to this point Earth was just another planet that was threatened by Zangyack just like any other planet. "Hi random guest stars! Sorry you didn't get an episode for yourselves. But we've got to wrap this up somehow." Insaan must be smart. She figured out that you during the long explosion sequence you can just jump out of the cockpit. Considering how EVERY sentai villain has instant teleport away ability, it seems like there's no excuse to ever die by being trapped in something. Yes, Marvelous, run away from the big fleet XD

Well, if you were generous, you could interpret the treasure as being an object that just has the ability to re-write the universe. It doesn't necessarily say that it is responsible for the current reality. You could also argue that the treasure was somehow borne of the fact that that 34 groups of super heroes have put so much spirit/mojo/heart/what-have-you into protecting the Earth. That would also sort of explain why this power found itself to be in the center of the Earth.

LAME. So, those 5 legends where just watching the Gokaigers from the sacred realm and showed up in a white magic place to give them the powers?
I think they could've had their own episodes. Gokaiger had plenty of episodes without cameos. But since Basco took their powers so that he wouldn't look useless, they could've at least made an entire episode or a double ep with all those guys, each giving the Gokaigers a trial...
That being said, LOL @ Gai's face. And what's up with that reaction, Gai? Dead people gave you your power.
The fight was ok. But Insaan deserved a better ending than that, even if she ended up being used the same way. They really lost the chance to focus on the villains after Gil died. Damaras and Insaan just disappeared after that and then were thrown away without development.
And I don't really understand why they needed Insaan to win time. It's not like hte Gokaigers would be able to stop the armada and Akudos doesn't know about the treasure's power... In fact, if the Zangyack were also after the powers, things mght've been more interesting.

Well, they had to make it because it really is supposed to be "The Greatest Treasure in the Universe". If they went the other direction and made it so like it was something like: "The bond between your team is the greatest treasure" or something cliched like that, wouldn't you feel cheapened too? Personally, I thought they did a good job on the treasure, it even gave them kind of a hesitant thought about how it would completely erase all 34 (and probably themselves too) teams before them.

I'm actually glad that the Greatest Treasure was in fact a Triforce (we all know how powerful those things are) as opposed to Friendship or Companionship which I dreaded that it would be from the beginning. Around episode 4 I was saying "If the last episode is AkaRed saying 'Through your many battles you have discovered the Greatest Treasure, it is within all of you!' I'm going to shoot someone." So as silly as an item to reshape the universe is, it could have been a lot worse... just sayin'!

The item is fine. The design is whats stupid. They should of done something original. And make a Boukenger precious reference to boot.

I remember thinking a while back that if the "greatest treasure" turned out to be "friendship" or some bullshit like that, I'd be very disappointed.
That said, wow. I'm definitely impressed with the writing here. The power to rewrite everything is definitely worth the whole universe.

not a really good episode, i feel like its a bit too late for the final fleet to arrive.. then again this series is 55 eps long which is longer than usual. gokaiger actually is a decently good sentai but definitely not the best, at the start it was great but now just blahh! gobusters doesnt look all that interesting too either but then again thats what i thought about goseiger and now it became my fav sentai of all time.

Huh? It's 51 episodes long, not 55. Go-Busters doesn't start on March 24th.

Wow, this really feels like Gokaiger is the final of the old Super Sentai. Erasing all the power of 34 Super Sentai means an excuse for Toei to start fresh without having old Sentai alumni reference ever again.

You must be new to Sentai.
Obviously if they actually go through with using the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, they're going to find some way around that whole "Erasing past Sentai from existence" thing, and even if they don't you can bank on the fact that Toei will still reference past Sentai whenever they can get away with it.
