Mirai Sentai Timeranger vs. GoGoFive is a 2001 direct-to-video movie which depicts a crossover between Mirai Sentai Timeranger and Kyūkyū Sentai GoGoV, part of the annual Super Sentai "Vs. Series".

Taking place between cases 35 and 36 of Timeranger, on October 25, 2000, the Timerangers confront the Londers criminal Boribaru who somehow resists the Escalation process once hit by the Voltech Bazooka and runs off. This infuriates Matoi Tatsumi, who with his siblings were dealing with the fire Boribaru caused to call the Timerangers out, and he criticizes the Timerangers for lacking any spirit. Later, unaware of their civilian identities, the Tatsumi Siblings arrive to Tomorrow Research to get help in finding their father who mysteriously disappeared along with their GoGo Braces. When Tac alerts them to a Londers attack, the Timerangers confront relatives of the Londers Prisoners they defeated with the Tatsumi siblings watching them transform from afar. By that time, is it revealed that the Londer Prisoners' new found invincibility was the work of Spell Master Pierre, the surviving servant of the Psyma Family. However, just as Pierre was about to get his revenge, Mondo arrives to his children's aid and gives them their GoGo Braces to help the Timerangers. The two Sentai teams fight the prisoners until Pierre makes Boribaru powerful enough to create a time/space distortion that sucks all combatants into pocket dimensions. While others fight for their lives against the prisoners with their transformation devices disabled, Pierre tries to stop Mondo from getting the Sentai teams back until TimeFire intervenes. Having Naoto call in V Rex, who scares Pierre away, Tac links himself to the it's Chrono Unit while having Naoto order his robot to create a time hole for the teams to assume their Sentai forms and defeat the Prisoners while returning to their time. With Time Fire joining in, the Timerangers and GoGoV teams manage to freeze the Londers Relatives. However, ditched behind by Don Dolnero and his group, Pierre is forced to use a Saima Fusion spell with Boribaru to become Pierre Bori who overpowers Shadow Alpha, reverting it down to Time Robo Alpha. But in a gambit that could tear the fabric of time asunder, Mondo takes advantage to Time Robo's hammer time space to call MaxLiner and GoLiner from 1999 so the GoGoV can form Victory Robo. With Victory Robo transferring the energies of its Victory Prominence to Time Robo, it assumes Riding Time Robo Formation to V Rex to execute Pressure Prominence to both destroy Pierre and arrest Boribaru. Soon after, as the GoGoV mecha return to 1999, the two sentai teams part on good terms.


This movie contains examples of the following tropes:

  • Accidental Misnaming: At one point, Matoi calls Timeranger "Timeman".
  • Always Identical Twins: Real introduces himself as Corrupted Financier Dogoal's twin brother and Lupia introduces herself as Sniper Reihou's twin sister. They're so identical to their respective twins the Timerangers briefly thought Dogoal and Reihou escaped again.
  • Breaking Old Trends: Past team-up films never really used villains that had actually appeared on the preceding show as major antagonists, here Pierre is still alive and teams up with the Londerz Family for revenge, becoming the first film to use an existing villain as one of the antagonists, a tradition that would be continued later on for most Sentai films.
    • It's also the first team up film to heavily feature every single member of the previous team and give them each one on one time with their current counterpart, another thing that would become a staple of Sentai team up films. Previous ones only really gave focus to the previous Red and sometimes one or two others, with most of the other members not showing up until the big fight.
  • Continuity Nod: Matoi's misnaming of the Timeranger alludes to Gingaman, GoGoFive's predecessors who they teamed-up with in the last Vs. movie.
  • Crossover: Between Timeranger and GoGoV.
  • Crossover Combo Villain: The last villain to be defeated is Pierre Bori, the result of a Fusion Dance between Pierre, from the GoGoFive series; and Boribaru, from the Timeranger series.
  • Identical Stranger: Sealing looks like Blaster Mad but the former says they're neighbors instead of relatives.
  • In the Name of the Moon: Forgoing the one-by-one roll call, this Vs. movie has a unique combined roll call.
    Tatsuya: "The lives of people are the future of this planet!"
    Matoi: "Burning Rescue spirits!"
    GoGoFive: "Kyukyu Sentai - !"
    Matoi: "Go! Go!"
    All: "Five!" "Timeranger!"
  • Rule of Three: When Mondo brings MaxLiner and GoLiner from 1999, Tac tells him they must be sent back within the next 3 minutes to prevent damage to the timeline by mass collapse.
  • Uncanny Family Resemblance: The villain who looks like Mercenary Org is his Uncle Bats and the one who looks like Blackmailer Gaymark is his identical cousin Dinal.
  • Versus Title: As with all previous team-up movies, this is the case with the film's title.
