For 4 Sundays (February 17 & 21, March 3 & 10), a 4-part Mini Series will be aired, which is the Super Sentai Saikyou (Greatest) Battle where 5 Sentai heroes will be put to the test against other Sentai heroes which it could be a part of their training to face unexpected enemies plus witnessing the arrival of new Sentai heroes, which it turned out to be the Ryusoulgers (the official cast of Ryusoulger will be revealed next month).
The confirmed returnees so far were Ai Moritaka (Kagura/Tokkyu-5Gou), Yosuke Kishi (Stinger/Sasori Orange), Shunsuke Nishikawa (Takaharu/Akaninger), Ryota Ozawa (Marvelous/Gokai Red & Masaki Nakao (Yamato/Zyuoh Eagle) with Toku newcomer Nana Asakawa playing Rita, a mysterious witch appears from a different dimensional world.
The Toei official website announced just today 5 more Sentai returnees. Here's the returnees confirmed for the Saikyou series:
Fresh off the success of Lupinranger vs. Patranger, former Haisute actor turned Toku rookie actor Kousei Yuki returns as Keiichirou Asaka/Patren-1gou. During his LuPato stint whose final episode will be aired on February 10, he released his 1st PB & 1st calendar. Last month, he held a successful birthday event & he appeared in the TV Dan Mook for 3 times along with his fellow LuPato actor, Asahi Ito who plays Kairi Yano/Lupin Red.
Her appearance in the Kyuranger vs. Space Squad V-Cinema was no fluke, Mao Ichimichi aka M.A.O returned on the role that made her career, she returns as Luka Milfy/Gokai Yellow, the role that made a mark in her acting & VA career. Her Toku VA debut was playing the role of Raptor 283/Washi Pink in Kyuranger back in 2017.
The leader of the 1st Anniversary Sentai Team for the 21st Century is back after 8 years. Noboru Kaneko 1st reprised the role of Kakeru Shishi/Gao Red in Gokaiger during the Gaoranger Tribute Episode. He was featured in the Special Interview article for the 1st volume of the Super Sentai 21st Century Official Mook which was released in March 2017.
It's been a while since Boukenger was represented in other Sentai series like how Mitsuomi Takahashi brought back Satoru Akashi after half a decade in the Boukenger Tribute for Gokaiger (which is actually my favorite episode). While i'm hoping for a Boukenger 15th Year Anniversary Project in the year 2021 (Hello, Toei!), the role that Masayuki Deai played 1st in any Toei Toku series is back after 11 years. (The last time he played Eiji Takaoka/Bouken Silver was in the Gekiranger vs. Boukenger movie in 2008)
If the Go-Onger 10 Years Grandprix wasn't enough, Yasuhisa Furuhara returns as Sosuke Esumi/Go-On Red for this SS special series. He also appeared in the Special Interview article for the 8th Volume for the SS 21st Century Mook which was released around April/May 2017.
The Super Sentai Saikyou Battle will start on February 17 at 9:30 AM JST.
