Plot

Main article: List of No.1 Sentai Gozyuger characters

The "Universe War" was a large-scale conflict involving 49 Super Sentai and their mecha against a threat simply known as "The Calamity". At the brink of defeat, the Sentai offered their powers, creating the "Sentai Rings" to summon the ultimate savior Tega Sword, who destroyed the Calamity but also provoked the destruction and recreation of the universe with the rings scattered across the cosmos.

Sometime later, five outcasts from society are given the chance to change their lives when Tega Sword chooses them to transform into the 50th Super Sentai, the Gozyugers, who are tasked with gathering the Sentai Rings (the one who assembles all of them will be granted a wish), which starts a competition not only between the group, but against the No One World Bridan, an elusive organization also searching for the rings and the "Universe Warriors", individuals who come into possession of Sentai Rings that give them the power of past Sentai, also competing to fulfill their own wishes. Things immediately heat up more upon the return of Mashiro Kumade, the first Gozyu Wolf and veteran of the Universe War, who now fights using his own set of allies as Gozyu Polar in the hopes of replacing Tega Sword as a god.

Production

The No.1 Sentai Gozyuger trademark was registered by Toei Company on October 24, 2024, and published on November 1, 2024.^[1]

Gozyuger was officially announced on December 25, 2024.^[2] A production announcement conference introducing the main cast and characters and the artists for the show's opening and ending theme songs was held on January 24, 2025 and streamed on Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club and YouTube on January 26, 2025.^[3][4]

According to producer Daigo Matsuura, while Gozyuger does include past Sentai heroes as part of anniversary celebration series, they instead are portrayed as Universe Warriors; fellow rivals to the titular team with different characters behind the suit. This was also done to introduce preceding heroes to children and newcomers alike without the need of bringing back past actors, as Matsuura draws comparison to the Ultra Monster Gomora from Ultraman being popular amongst today's children for its recurring appearances in modern day instalments of Ultraman series despite being portrayed by different suit actors.^[5]

Despite being the heroes of the 49th Sentai Series, the Gozyugers are considered the 50th Sentai team, with the Lupinrangers and Patrangers, the protagonists of the 42nd Sentai series, reclassified as the 42nd and 43rd teams, respectively, according to Toei Company and their promotional materials for the series as part of their plans for the franchise's 50th anniversary. It is not the first time that Toei changed the order number of the Super Sentai, as originally Battle Fever J was considered the first Super Sentai Series, before the addition of its predecessors Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, (which were produced by Toei Company in partnership with Ishimori Productions, unlike the rest) to the main chronology.
