30 Sentai Encyclopedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title card for the 30 Sentai Encyclopedia

The 30 Sentai Encyclopedia (30戦隊大全集, Sanjū Sentai Dai Zenshū^?) which when literally translated means "30 Squadron Great Complete Works" or "Big Gathering of the 30 Squadrons" was a series of video clips that aired at the end of each Task (or episode) of GoGo Sentai Boukenger that pays homage to each of its predecessors in the long-running Japanese Super Sentai franchise, which celebrated its 30th anniversary with Boukenger. 30 Sentai Encyclopedia is also the title of a book that commemorates the series that features information on all of the teams as well as all of the Power Rangers teams.

[edit] Overview

In Task 3, it was announced that starting with Task 4, this series will be playing a mini featurette for each of the previous Sentai teams. In each of these segments, one of the Boukengers starts everything by saying "Today's Super Sentai is..." usually followed by the whole team saying the name of the series and performing that previous team's henshin (transformation) pose and the theme song of the series is played in the background. They then talk about that day's Sentai team, and at the end, at least one of the Boukengers does something related to that day's Super Sentai.

Each featurette is started by one of the Boukengers. From Goranger to Zyuranger, this sequence took place with the core five in the DaiBouken cockpit. Starting with the featurette for Dairanger, Eiji joins the others in the area of SGS Headquarters where Mr. Voice is usually seen, but they are in front of a wall of photos of the previous Sentai.

At the end of Task 33, Boukenger looked back on itself shortly, but then it was stated that the segments will shift focus from the different series to important points and firsts in the history of Super Sentai called the "30 Sentai Encyclopedia Special Files (30戦隊大全集 スペシャルファイル, Sanjū Sentai Dai Zenshū Supesharu Fairu^?)."

The song used to initially introduce the segments at the end of Task 3 was "Super Sentai Spirits" (スーパー戦隊魂, Sūpā Sentai Tamashii^?) by Ichiro Mizuki and Mitsuko Horie.

Then Natsuki and Sakura, dressed as police officers, say, "If you don't watch the next one, we'll arrest you!" All of these relate to the rescue motif of GoGo-V.

Satoru is wearing Yousuke's (Hurricane Red), Souta is wearing Kouta's (Hurricane Yellow), both Sakura and Natsuki are in Nanami's (Hurricane Blue), Eiji is in Ikkou's (Kabuto Raiger), and Masumi in Isshu's (Kuwaga Raiger). When the Boukengers are ready to say, "Look forward the next one!" Shizuka suddenly appears on Mr. Voice's viewscreens, interrupting the Boukengers. She tells them "Zero Points, Boukenger! You fail!", referencing Furabijou's scorekeeping of the Jakanja, and says "Look forward to the next one!" instead. Everyone turns around to the camera and Masumi advances toward the screens with his sword out. This is because Shizuka and the Hurricanegers were all ninja.

Then Sakura speaks to the audience about how the next segments will tell of the firsts of Super Sentai, Natsuki beside her. Eiji then exclaims "We call it...!" followed by Satoru saying that next is the "...the 30 Sentai Encyclopedia Special Files!" Then the whole group surrounds Satoru and they wave and say "Don't miss it!"

[edit] Special Files

The Special Files discuss the firsts of Super Sentai. These sequences are started with, "This time…" (instead of, "Today's Super Sentai is…") after which the opening Boukenger states the topic of the Special File, and then the entire team performs their own Henshin sequence with a call of, "Start Up!"

Then, Eiji and Masumi come in wearing replicas of Satoru's jacket, saying that they will lead the team. In the end, Mr. Voice says it was all a joke. This is a reference to Sun Vulcan, in which there was the first (and so far only) replacement of a red hero, as the original VulEagle went to the US to study space shuttles with NASA. The anpan is once, again, a reference to Denjiman.

However, Makino announces over the speakers that they do, and he exlaims "Sargess Museum Robo! (サージェスミュージアムロボ, Sājesu Myūjiamu Robo^?) Go Go!"

The team then looks at a toy DaiBouken with GoGo Drill, Shovel, Mixer, and Crane and wonder why they also have a Multi Gattai Robo.
