Super Sentai Continuity (from Go-Buster 12)

Post by friendlyquark »

In the big 199 movie, everyone ran into subway stations, or at least underground. Considering that every week they get another monster battle, and have been going through this for 36 years now, they probably have it down pat. Tourists, of course, never seem to know where the shelters are and end up being chased by the villains.

I also assume most tall buildings are shell decoys set up by the Tokyo authorities to fool alien invaders, since they seem to get demolished each week and yet are quickly repaired by the next episode. Either Tokyo building codes are incredibly lax, or those are just there for monster fights. :)

I mean, obviously no one takes this very seriously since the press conference went on even as a giant robot was attacking the city. Tokyo residents seem pretty blase about all this.

In response to quark, let's remind everyone that this is the 36th sentai. That means that this has been going on for over 36 years. They're all probably prepared to exist buildings in the event of monster attacks or have a secret group lead them away, like the Kuroko in Shinkenger.

this is not the gokaiger world, this is a regular sentai season with no continuity with any other season. the attacks aren't a common thing.

Dude, the crossovers make it pretty clear that ALL of Sentai is a continuity. They may ignore past series a bit, but they are all connected.

no, there is the VS. or "gokaiger world", where all the season happened, and we only see during the crossover movies and gokaiger, and then we have the regular sentai worlds, which are separated from one another and not interact. in recent years they have started to try to make the movie fit the series continuity a little better, but they are still a diferent universe.

oh my god this is why i hate continuity nerds

crossovers in asakids shows exist for fanservice. acting like they have any bearing on anything or even necessarily happen in the same world in their own series is just the most ridiculous thing

it's a show for 6-year-olds, stop trying to impose bizarre amounts of continuity on it, they're disposable one-year toy adverts aimed at the current generation of children who'll watch it till they grow out of it and forget all about it

the comic book fans are far worse continuity nerds xD. i'm just pointing out that sentai series never were in the same continuity outside of crossovers.

Magenta, I think that we will just have to agree to disagree. Considering how many references creep in from series to series and that everyone seems to know each other, I think you are making a big assumption that there is no continuity. Just because its a kid's show, doesn't mean that there is no thought behind it. I just think that the continuity is not as important in Sentai as it is in other shows.

Your favorite series is listed as Fourze. In the beginning, they showed that all the previous Riders existed in that continuity (with video proof). That makes even less sense than Sentai series all being in the same continuity. Does it really matter? No. Should you piss all over those who think it does just because you think you're better when we all watch the same kids shows? No.

At the risk of officially derailing the thread, no, I'm pretty sure the "Every Sentai is it's own world" theory is right; When the Shinkengers meet Sosuke in Vs Go-Onger, they don't really know what to make of him and assume he's a new Shinkenger. Given how often most final battles in Super Sentai have apocalyptic stakes, the idea that other Sentais wouldn't assist or be aware of each other would be completely absurd, if they all lived in the same world.

Gokaiger had every Ranger exist simultaneously and know each other simply because that was the gimmick; It was a season-long anniversary movie.

For what i understood, they guessed Enter wasn't gonna steal it from the dept but from the actress ince it would be easier.

First of all, as i say once, Fourze is what i call a "gokaiger-esque world" where in one universe, all the series have taken place. but all the seasons previous to W take place in different universes. is more or less the whole point behind Decade.
the producers of kamen rider have started to try to make the series taking place in the same universe since W(read: after decade screwed with continuity). if you watch closely, in the last episodes of W and OOO there is a cameo related with next season, something that doesn't happen in Super Sentai. but all heisei-era series were created with the idea they weren't.
the only time they mention previous teams in super sentai is during the crossovers and Gokaiger(maybe in annyversary seasons, but that's a different story).

^ I completely understand what you're saying and I noticed those cameos. Post-Decade KR being in the same Universe makes more sense than pre-Decade KR. I'm just saying, if Gokaiger needed all the previous Sentai to be in the same world, then there's nothing wrong with continuing to think that they already were and will continue to be.

it's just that there are some questions that are easier to answer with the go-busters we are watching not being in the gokaiger world(in the gokaiger world it totally happened/is happening, tough, as the Gavan movie shows). but if there was any proof in the show that gokaiger happened, then i would totally support the idea.
