Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle (ゴーカイジャー ゴセイジャー スーパー戦隊199ヒーロー 大決戦, Gōkaijā Goseijā Sūpā Sentai Hyakukyūjūkyū Hīrō Daikessen) is a Japanese tokusatsu superhero film originally set for release on May 21, 2011, to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Super Sentai Series.[1] The film was directed by Noboru Takemoto and written by Naruhisa Arakawa, and primarily features the casts of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Tensou Sentai Goseiger, among the 199 total heroes from the Super Sentai series to appear.[2] On March 16, 2011, Toei released a statement concerning the effects the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami have had on the filming schedule, and the film's release was postponed[3] to June 11, 2011.[4] The film entered the number 2 in the Japanese box office and earned a total of ¥288,610,400 (approximately US$3.6 million) on its first week.[5] A combination of all the main 35 Giant Robots, entirely done in CG, was planned to be included in the climactic scene of the movie,[6] but it was ultimately not included in the theatrical cut. The catchphrase for the movie is "Let's put on a show on the screen!" (スクリーンでド派手に行くぜ!, Sukurīn de Dohade ni Ikuze!). The movie takes place between episodes 16 and 17 of Gokaiger.

Plot[edit]

Sometime prior, amidst the Legend War, the Goseigers and Gosei Knight are overwhelmed by the Zangyack Empire's first invasion force until they are saved by the Gorengers and J.A.K.Q. team's leaders, Akarenger and Big One respectively, who came to assemble the 34 Sentai teams. With the Sentai teams' supporting heroes giving them safe passage, Akarenger, Big One, and the Goseigers convene with the other 33 Sentai teams to battle the Zangyack army before Akarenger calls for everyone to sacrifice their powers to destroy the armada, dispersing them across the universe. As the depowered Sentai teams regroup and part ways, Aka Red, having seen the Legend War from space, goes on to collect the powers, turn them into Ranger Keys, and contribute to the Gokaigers' formation.

In the present, the Gokaigers battle the Zangyack Empire's second invasion force until the Goseigers take their powers back. While the Zangyack forces retreat, the Goseigers demand Gosei Knight's key, but the Gokaigers, unaware that they have it, refuse to listen and withdraw. Meanwhile, Zangyack commander Warz Gill is visited by the Black Cross King, the embodiment of the 34 Sentai teams' defeated enemies, who proposes an alliance so he can take revenge on the Sentai teams and their allies in exchange for allowing Zangyack to have Earth.

As Warz agrees, the Gokaigers familiarize themselves with the Sixth Hero Ranger Keys they recently acquired[a] before the Goseigers use their mecha to attack them. The Gokaigers form their own mecha to fight back, during which the Gokaigers' Captain Marvelous realizes it is a distraction and stops the Goseigers' leader Alata from taking Gosei Knight's key. However, both teams are attacked by the Black Cross King, who steals most of the Gokaigers' Ranger Keys and resurrects Brajira of the Messiah, Crime Minister Yogoshimacritein, and Hades God Dagon, who subsequently teleport the Sentai teams to other locations. While investigating the disappearances, the Gokaigers' ally Navi discovers the Gosei Knight Key.

Finding themselves scattered across various locations, the Gokaigers and Goseigers reluctantly join forces to defeat the resurrected monsters, regroup, and return to their original location, where they are met by Navi and a restored Gosei Knight. The two teams agree to work together to stop the Black Cross King, who brings the Gokaigers' Ranger Keys to life to stop them. After a grueling battle, the Gokaigers and Goseigers eventually defeat and recover the Ranger Keys. Taking advantage of their weakened states, the Black Cross King enlarges himself, but the Sentai teams are suddenly engulfed by a bright light, during which representatives of the J.A.K.Q. team, Denzimen, Goggle-V, Dynamen, Biomen, Turborangers, Dairangers, Boukengers, and Go-ongers give them their blessings as Sentai teams and the Gokaigers access to their respective teams' Great Powers. Marvelous asks for their aid, which they answer by creating the Super Sentai Bazooka.

The Gokaigers and Goseigers use it to defeat the Black Cross King, who transforms into his true form, the Black Cross Colossus, and wreaks havoc on Tokyo. The Sentai teams summon their mecha to fight him, but he overpowers them and defeats Gosei Knight. On the ground, the Goseigers' ally Nozomu Amachi urges Tokyo's citizens not to give up hope and cheer for the Sentai teams. This support miraculously restores the Gokaigers and Goseigers' mecha and summons their Sentai predecessors' mecha as well. The Black Cross Colossus resurrects an army of the Sentai teams' defeated enemies, but the Sentai mecha kill them once more. With his warriors gone, the Gokaigers receive the Gorengers' Great Power, the Variblune, and use it to kill the Black Cross Colossus.

With the battle over, the preceding Sentai mecha vanish as the crowd thanks the Gokaigers and Goseigers, who give their powers back to the Gokaigers and entrust them with their Great Power. As the Gokaigers sail off, Gokai Silver watches them from afar.
