GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai is a direct-to-video tokusatsu movie. The movie celebrates the 30 year anniversary of the Super Sentai Series.

The movie starts with Time Demon Chronos meeting with High Priest Gajah on getting rid of the Boukengers while obtaining three Gōdom Engines. As they plot, a mysterious figure watches above them. Afterwards, the Boukenger, excluding Bouken Silver, were summoned to battle some Karths. After their battle, they see Gajah and Chronos, with Chronos sending the Boukengers to a different dimension. Eiji was alerted of the situation, but before he could set out to rescue the other Boukengers, a mysterious figure named Aka Red, who describes himself as the embodiment of the fighting spirit of all Red Rangers, meets him and gives him the Super Sentai Address Book, which lists information on every Super Sentai member. He opens it to find Tsubasa Ozu, a.k.a. Magi Yellow from Mahou Sentai Magiranger.

Eiji tries to talk to Tsubasa during his boxing match, but ends up getting ejected from the side of the ring since he was interfering with his match. Next, Tetsu, a.k.a. Deka Break from Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, is undercover trying to negotiate with Alienizers when Eiji interrupts. Eiji tries to acknowledge Tetsu's background as Deka Break, but Tetsu beats him up and sends him out the window to maintain his cover. Elsewhere, at the Duel Bond site, Chronos shows a time device, a reverse flowing hourglass, to Gajah, which when augmented to a Godom Engine enable him to revive one of the Three Sorcerers, past Super Sentai villains whose magic caused the greatest harm to the Earth. Chronos would set another up at the Matrix ruins with Gajah remaining to welcome the second Sorcerer while Chronos installed the final device at the countryside. In Chronos' time prison, the Boukengers find out they were blocked of their technology and they meet up with Hikaru, a.k.a. Magi Shine, also from Mahou Sentai Magiranger.

Eiji then receives a call through his GoGo Changer from Asuka, a.k.a. Abare Black from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, all the way from Dino-Earth while taking care of his daughter. He tells Eiji that Aka Red contacted him, but the connection to Earth is weak since the power of the dimension door is weak as well. Even contacting him was hard through the GoGo Changer. He loses connection to Eiji after a few minutes. While Chronos set up his time devices, Hikaru talks to the Boukengers about Chronos and the Boukengers are introduced to Smokey, although at first mistaking him as precious. Eiji then tries to meet Nanami, a.k.a. Hurricane Blue from Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger, before her rehearsal, but is blocked by security and many fans. In a desperate attempt to catch Nanami's attention, Eiji shouts out "Hurricane Blue," which Nanami is surprised by.

Chronos was then successful in summoning Meemy, from Mahou Sentai Magiranger, who meets up with Chronos. In frustration, Eiji throws out the Super Sentai Address Book and decides to battle Meemy and Chronos on his own. After Eiji is overpowered, he was rescued by Hurricane Blue, Abare Black, Deka Break and Magi Yellow. However, the various Super Sentai warriors repeatedly get in each other's way and Meemy and Chronos were able to escape. In the time prison, Akashi reveals that he has Zuban with him. Tsuetsue from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger was then revived and welcomed by Gajah.

At SGS, Eiji receives a message from Akashi concerning Chronos. The Super Sentai warriors then promised to help Eiji rescue the rest of the Boukengers and meet Aka Red while the time prison holding the Boukengers and Hikaru is slowly disappearing. Chronos and the other villains found the last hourglass tipped over, with the final Sorcerer missing, when they were attacked by the Super Sentai warriors. As the time prison started to disintegrate, Sakura analyzed and concluded that the clock with root-like designs in the wall was the key to their escape. The Boukengers and Hikaru then utilize the Magi Lamp Buster's Smoky Shining Attack, accompanied by Zuban, on the clock in the wall. Although this does not damage the clock at all, it causes another root-like clock in the real world to appear. Aka Red orders the other warriors to destroy the clock while he takes care of the villains, transforming into Magi Red and GaoRed respectively, and frightening both Meemy and Tsuetsue in the process; for both respective villains, Magi Red and GaoRed were their worst enemies. As Aka Red fights off the villains, the others succeed in freeing the Boukengers and Magi Shine from the alternate dimension.

The Super Sentai warriors and the villains face off, with the Sentai warriors getting the upper hand until Furabiijo from Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger interferes after "taking a walk". But with all three Sorcerers present and accounted, Chronos fuses them all into the Staff of the Three Philosophers, his intended goal from the start. With the power of the staff, Chronos enabled himself to grow to gigantic proportions with new golden armor. The Boukengers countered with Ultimate Daibouken and SirenBuilder, but Chronos proved too powerful for both the mecha and were defeated. In a last-ditch effort, the Boukengers summoned DaiVoyager, which was almost defeated by Chronos as well. Aka Red, sensing the danger, came back into the action, becoming a vessel to power up DaiVoyager using the Spirits given by the remaining Super Sentai warriors, enabling DaiVoyager to access its Burning Legend Form. Burning Legend DaiVoyager went on to defeat Chronos with the special attack, 30 Super Sentai Soul (an energy attack powered by the Super Sentai warriors of the past), and sent the released sorcerers back into the afterlife. After their victory, the Boukengers and the other Super Sentai warriors return to the SGS headquarters, and then parted ways. The Boukengers, however, would not have time to relax, as they receive another call from Mr. Voice concerning another Negative Syndicate on the move. The movie ends with Aka Red watching over the Earth in outer space, going into a deep sleep until he is needed again.


This movie contains examples of the following tropes:

  • All Your Powers Combined: As the embodiment of the Red Warrior Spirit, Aka Red can wield the power of and even transform into any of the previous Red Rangers. In this regard, he is essentially a prototype for Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, whose in-universe rise to power he would be responsible for.
  • Big Bad: Time Demon Chronos
  • Crossover
  • The Faceless: Unlike most Sentai warriors, Aka Red has no human form, his unique Red Suit being his natural form.
  • In the Name of the Moon: As is expected of Sentai Versus movies, we are treated to a combined roll call starting with the Boukengers through the legendary Rangers from past to present, ending with AkaRed and topped off with "We are Super Sentai!"
    Satoru: The fiery adventurer! BoukenRed!
    Masumi: The fast adventurer! BoukenBlack!
    Souta: The high-up adventurer! BoukenBlue!
    Natsuki: The strong adventurer! BoukenYellow!
    Sakura: The deep adventurer! BoukenPink!
    Eiji: The dazzling adventurer! BoukenSilver!
    Satoru: The endless adventure spirits!
    Boukengers: GoGo Sentai Boukenger!
    Nanami: "The water dances, the waves jump; Water Ninja, Hurricane Blue!"
    Asuka: "The invincible soul of the Dragon People!note  AbareBlack!"
    Tetsu: "To attack wicked evil! To smash the darkness of fear! The Daybreak Detective, Deka Break!"
    Tsubasa: "The galloping thunder element! The Yellow Magician, MagiYellow!"
    Hikaru: "The shining solar element! Heavenly Hero, MagiShine!"
    Aka Red: "The one who inherits the red souls ~ Aka Red!"
    Satoru: We are!
    All: Super Sentai!
  • Mythology Gag:
    • Nanami/HurricaneBlue once again soaks TsueTsue with her Water Blast Ninja Art.
    • BoukenBlue and BoukenBlack fight Gajah the same way GaoYellow and HurricaneYellow fought Duke Org Yabaiba in Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger: By having the first grab their foe, then slam him into a mountain cliff before letting their teammate whack them away with their hammer.
  • Sidelined Protagonist Crossover: None of the returning Rangers from the four Sentai preceding GoGo Sentai Boukenger is a Red Ranger (that role is fulfilled by AkaRed himself) and Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger's sole representative is a villain.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Downplayed. The movie was originally intended to be a Boukenger vs Magiranger movie, similar to previous installments, but was changed partway. None of the veteran Rangers get any focus that makes them stand out too much. But even then, Magiranger has the most representation, with two Rangers and a villain.
  • Transformation Sequence: When Aka Red transforms into Magi Red and Gao Red, we see him inserted into their respective transformation sequences in the place of their original wielder. The concept of a Ranger transforming into another Ranger would also be repeated by the Gokaigers.
    • Both teams transform side by side.
  • Versus Title: In this case, there is no conflict between the Sentai.
  • "With Our Swords" Scene: Restrained by Chronos, Aka Red grants Deka Red's D-Magnum guns and Hurricane Red's Hayatemaru sword to Bouken Red so he can set him free.
