30 Sentai Encyclopedia
From Wikipedia, the free 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 and features information on all incarnations of the Super Sentai series.
[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 "Burn! Super Sentai Spirits" (燃えろ!スーパー戦隊魂!! Moero! Sūpā Sentai Tamashii!!?) by Ichiro Mizuki and Mitsuko Horie, which was the ending theme song to the direct-to-video movie Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.

At the end, all of the Boukengers except for Sakura play a trump card game in which the Joker, which Satoru draws, is a bad card (probably to echo the fact that J.A.K.Q. is the first series to feature a non-red leader because Gorou Sakurai/Spade Ace stepped down from his leadership to give it to Soukichi Banba/Big One).

The segment ends with Masumi holding up a small traffic light, Sakura holding up a sign that has a crayon drawing of the Boukengers' helmets and Eiji holding a small yellow flag. Instead of saying "Look forward to the next one" (which is written on Sakura's sign), the Boukenger finish by saying "Don't cross the street until the traffic light turns green!"

This pays homage to the fact that Megaranger was based on computer games and technology, and that the Megarangers were all high school students, Kenta/MegaRed being the most lax of the group.

At the end of the sequence, Masumi and Souta are dressed in safety orange hazard suits, and they prepare to say, "Look forward to the next one," but then Eiji, in a silver firefighter coat and carrying a fire extinguisher firing it (In the background Eiji shouts out SirenBuilder's attack Double Water Shoot while that happens), and Satoru, dressed in a black and white classic firefighter suit and carrying around a matoi (an object used in the Edo period that was placed on the roof of a building to notify firefighters of a fire inside/nearby; Matoi is also the given name of GoRed), interrupt them. 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.

At the end of the segment, the Boukenger are dressed in the jackets of the Hurricaneger. 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.
[edit] Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger

Satoru, Souta and Natsuki stand in the Abaranger's positions, wearing the jacket of their same-colored Abaranger. They call out "Bakuryuu Dengeki Drill Spin!" and cut to footage of DaiBouken Drill's Maximum Penetration, which is similar to Abarenoh's finishing attack. Masumi and Eiji leap into the cockpit, referencing AbareBlack and AbareKiller. Masumi begins chanting "Dino Guts" and Eiji comes in saying that was wrong, as Sakura finishes off the segment.

After the clips, each Boukenger is dressed up in the S.P.D. uniform of their Dekaranger counterparts (Masumi in Sen-chan's and Eiji in Tetsu's), and once Satoru is done saying, "Don't miss the next one," the team performs the S.P.D. salute, complete with "Roger!" followed by Murphy (the Dekaranger's robotic dog) pops up in the foreground and barks. The five main Dekarangers, DekaBreak, DekaMaster, and DekaSwan are seen in the clips, but DekaBright, DekaGold, and all of the Deka Machines (DekaRanger Robo, DekaBike Robo, DekaBase Robo, DekaWing Robo, & Blast Buggy) are omitted.

The core Boukengers use their Accelulars as the Magirangers used their MagiPhones to perform the Magiranger's henshin spell, "Maagi Magi Magiiro!" Eiji does the same with his GoGo Changer and a MagiTicket to perform MagiShine's henshin pose and spell, "Goolu Golu Goludiiro!" After they shout out the henshin sequence, a faint outline of the core five Magiranger's MagiCircle appears in the foreground.

Once the clip is over, Souta tells the audience that the next segment will be more powerful (both Souta and Masumi say "Power up!"). 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!" Unlike the 30 Sentai Encyclopedia's series files, which played the opening theme song of the series being reviewed, the Special Files play insert songs, usually the series where the milestone originated, as the background music.

- This is Natsuki's sixth time starting the segment.
- Song: "Himitsu Sentai Goranger" (秘密戦隊ゴレンジャー Himitsu Sentai Gorenjā?) by Isao Sasaki

The video clips also feature the Red, Green, and Blue Machines, the Gorangers' motorcycles including their special weapons. At the end, the Boukengers say farewell using the same sign from the Carranger retrospective, while Natsuki is eating curry, as she did in Goranger's original retrospective with other curry bowls on her right previously eaten, Eiji takes notice and seems to laugh.

They mention Goranger's Variblune and Varidreen, as well as J.A.K.Q.'s Sky Ace, the various flying fortresses of the early Sentai teams. However, Battle Fever Robo was the first Robo, and they mention its Cross Fever attack. In the end, the team is in DaiBouken's cockpit waving the same flags from the Battle Fever J retrospective, after which the camera zooms out to show both Battle Fever Robo and DaiBouken using Chinese Bamboo Slash and Adventure Drive, side-by-side.

Clips are shown DaiDenzin performing the Full Moon Cut and Sun Vulcan Robo performing the Aurora Plasma Return finishers. At the end of the segment, Mr. Voice says that he'll send Satoru to NASA at which Satoru, Sakura, Souta (eating anpan as he did in the Denziman retrospective), and Natsuki (eating curry as she did in the Goranger and Super Sentai retrospectives) are stunned. 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 Denziman.

At the end of the clip, Eiji asks the rest of the team if they have an Enormous Base Robo, at which they dismiss the idea. 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!"

At the end, they have all transformed into the Boukengers, but they are all wearing the good luck clothing that Satoru (Satoru wears the original jacket and hat while the rest wear different hats and jackets) wore when he was under the bad feng shui of Wicked Dragon Talong.

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.
