History Series / TensouSentaiGoseiger

''Tensō Sentai Goseiger'' (''Celestial Armament Squadron Goseiger'')[[note]]''Tensō'' means "heavenly cloth" or "celestial armament", while the name "Goseiger" is a portmanteau of ''goseija'' (planet guardian) and "ranger"[[/note]] is the 34th program in the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series, airing from 2010 to 2011.

* JustForPun: The command "''Tensou''" used [[strike:in Tensou jutsus]] whenever they activate a card has a homophone meaning "Transfer/Teleport", making this also a meaningful pun whenever they summon or transport something.

In the present day, a alien race known as "Warstar" has descended upon the Earth in the name of conquest, destroying the Tower of Heaven that acts as the gateway to Gosei World. Now the only hope of humanity rests with five fledgling Gosei Angels who have been stranded on Earth: the Goseigers.

** Landick Gosei Great's [[FinishingMove Victory Charge]] resembles a [[Franchise/KamenRider Rider Kick]], particularly [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Faiz's]], which produces a drill to strike the enemy.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Gosei Knight's card reader, the Leon Cellular, unlike [[GratuitousEnglish the team's Tensouders]], speaks pretty fluent English.

** Agri: Landick Axe

* FinishingMove
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Alata
** TheLancer: Moune
** TheSmartGuy: Hyde
** TheBigGuy: Agri
** TheChick: Eri
** SixthRanger: Gosei Knight
** TeamPet: Datas
* HumongousMecha

* LandSeaSky

* PowerGivesYouWings

* SecretKeeper: Nozomu.
* SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Professor Amachi.]]

* MerchandiseDriven: All Sentai has this, but Goseiger has been pretty blatant with it. The show currently has two gimmicks. One to support the Dice-O card game (and the only way to get the cards on the show is to buy all the other merchandise attached to the show, including the expensive roleplay jackets in ADULT AND CHILD sizes.) and then the Headders, who are of course, with the exception of the main ones, are sold seperately from the mechs. The Exotic Headers are another good example of the merchandising nature of the season. The reason they appeared once in the show was so they could do limited edition header redecos for special items.

** Agri: [[AnAxeToGrind Landick Axe]]

->"''Guarding the Planet is an Angel's duty!''"

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Toramezu uses this tactic against Gosei Knight in the latter's inaugural battle. It manages to knock him against a wall, but that was the most successful attack it really got off against him...[[TheWorfBarrage which wasn't saying much]].
** There was also an earlier episode during the Warstar arc where Hyde used a spinning attack against the Warstar monster who [[spoiler:killed his partner]].

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The Landick and Skick Brothers Headders include two StockDinosaurs, Tyranno and Ptera Headders, which are brought together for their own FinishingMove when the Skick Brothers debut in ep 9.
** Although Eri and Moune don't take kindly to being associated with dinosaurs...

* MythologyGag: The series [[Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger obviously isn't the first]] to have the word "''Gosei''" in the title[[note]]The meanings are different though. "Gosei" in [=Dairanger=] means "(Of the) Five Stars/Five-Star". Goseiger's has the Kanji "Protect", "Star/Planet" and "Person"; roughly, "Those who protect the Planet" or "Planet Guardians"[[/note]].

** Tyranno Header bears a strong resemblance to [=CarriGator=] from Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger}}. It even ends up in the same place as [=CarriGator's=] head, left foot.
** Gosei Knight's mecha form, Groundion, resembles a cross between [=GoGo Dump=] from Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger and Sei Shishi, the Lion mecha from Dairanger.
*** Even better, Gosei Ground's face has the same colors and scheme as [[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Muteki Shogun's]]. (Does it make sense now why its intro Epic had Sasuke and Tsuruhime guest-starring, with a Kappa MOTW?)

* NiceHat: The MechaExpansionPack includes these; special mention goes to the Seaick Brothers for having ''a pirate's hat WITH EYEPATCH''.
** Which also makes it HilariousInHindsight, considering the motif of [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger next season's Sentai...]]

* WeaponOfChoice

** Moune: [[ImprobableWeaponUser Landick Claw]][[note]]It's a claw-like weapon that doesn't belong in any specific weapon trope though it has been shown to be used as a shield.[[/note]]

* {{Fanservice}}: Epic 11 begins Moune and several other girls doing a cheerleading sequence, including a panty shot. Epic 23 contains a scene where Moune and Eri lose their bikini tops while being shot into mid-air, although they're rescued by Datas and we don't see anything.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: The series as a whole, having been sandwiched between the [[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger crazy awesome samurai show the year before it]] and [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger the insanely cool pirate show the year afterwards.]] [[ArcFatigue Of course, there are some reasons why Goseiger suffered on its own.]]

* Alata / '''[[red:Gosei Red]]''': A member of the Skick (pronunced "skai-yick") Tribe. The most energetic, optimistic, kindhearted, youngest of the guys, but also TheLeader.
