Super Sentai World

Super Sentai World features five Super Sentai teams, namely Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, Gosei Sentai Dairanger, Kyouryu Sentai Zyuranger, Choujin Sentai Jetman and Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman, that joined forces in defeating the evil Emperor Daidas.

This is the first team-up special made by TOEI after the JAKQ vs Goranger. And one of the starting point for the Sentai VS specials that is continued up to this point.

The movie started with the Kakurangers riding their bikes, Shark Machines. We then see a couple taking pictures of each other. Emperor Daidas then appears to conquer planet Earth. This is where the Kakurangers appear.

The couple were held hostage by Zaigan, Bango and Damaru. With no other choice, Kakurangers begun to surrender but then other four Sentai teams came to save them. This started a not-so-long team roll call. If ever it was an individual one, this could take at least 10 minutes of the movie’s running time.

The villains then summon countless grunts from three different Super Sentai shows, namely Cotpotros (Dairanger), Golem Soldiers (Zyuranger) and Grinam Soldiers (Jetman). Our heroes then teamed up to battle and defeat all of them.

Some of the senshis use their signature attacks, like FiveYellow’s Melody Tact, Pink Swan’s Wing Gauntlet, KirinRanger’s Kirin-ken and much more others. You can also see the Zyuranger utilize the Howling Cannon to easily defeat Zaigan. Dairangers used their DairenRods to send Bango flying in the air. NinjaRed used hi Red Slicer to defeat Damaru. While Red Hawk and FiveRed teamed up to defeat the other two monsters (for me, one of the best scene in this movie since both Red senshis are my favorite).

Once all monsters have been defeated, Emperor Daidas went berserk. This time our heroes sent forth to summon their giant robos namely: Muteki Shogun (Kakuranger), DaiRenOh (Dairanger), DaiZyuJin (Zyuranger), Jet Icarus (Jetman) and FiveRobo (Fiveman).

With Emperor Daidas great power, the robos were nearly defeated until the photographer revealed its weakness, the third eye. This was became their target and with Muteki Shogun’s Blazing Shogun Sword (Kaen Shōgun Ken), the evil Emperor Daidas was defeated.

With the evil monsters defeated, the world is now at peace. But as long as there’s Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, evil doers will definitely be defeated.

My review: although the fight scenes are kinda messy, each Sentai senshi was given an ample screen time to make an appearance and fight with the grunts. But if this was made this year, it will definitely be more awesome.

I kinda felt nostalgic seeing these guys in action again. I remember seeing Fiveman and Jetman back when I was kid, but I haven’t have a chance to complete all of the episodes. It’s nice to see them again after such a long time. And since Fiveman and Jetman is around, I couldn’t wish more unless Turboranger will be included. XD

I’m just a little bit disappointed in this since no actors from these these five Sentai series make any appearances. And especially, no henshin sequence. DX

If you didn’t know, the photographer was Shirou Izumi. The one who played both Yuuma Ozora/Change Pegasus and Burai/DragonRanger. He have a different role here so he didn’t joined the other Sentai Senshis as DragonRanger.

I really do recommend this short movie to any Sentai fans out there especially those who are just new in the fandom. It’s really cool to see how was Sentai before you are even born or just to see how this is different to the Power Rangers you grew up with.
