Episodes

Main article: GoGo Sentai Boukenger Episodes

The episodes this season are called "Tasks" (Task.(タスク) Tasuku) (the title for which is written as "Task. [number]" except for the finale) and use the English pronunciations of the episode numbers. Many of these titles are tied to an artifact or item which is the focus of the episode.

Like Seijuu Sentai Gingaman, many of the Boukenger titles are two words that are connected, either two nouns with the character "no" connecting the two or a word in front of a main noun (the second noun) that modifies it. Like Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, the titles incorporate a period.

Notes

File:Sentai 30th Anniversary.jpg

This Super Sentai series celebrated the franchise's 30th Anniversary in 2006.

  • This is the first Sentai series to:
  • Satoru's actor, Mitsuomi Takahashi, made an appearance on the 20th Sasuke Tournament. but sadly was eliminated in the first round.
  • Eiji's father, Kando, was played by Hiroshi Watari, better known for being a seasoned veteran of the Metal Hero series, having played the main hero in two of them (Uchuu Keiji SharivanIcon-crosswiki and Jikuu Senshi SpielbanIcon-crosswiki) and BoomerangIcon-crosswiki, a supporting character in Kyojuu Tokusou JuspionIcon-crosswiki.
  • Each of the Boukengers are based on some their Super Sentai predecessors:
  • Boukenger gets its name from the word "bouken", meaning "adventure". Thus "Boukenger" refers to someone who goes on an adventure, which the team does in order to collect Precious.
    • This is confirmed by the later use of "bouken" in the Gokaiger opening, referencing their theme of adventuring to find the greatest treasure in the universe.
  • Due to this being an anniversary series, all the villains and monster designs were based (sometimes very loosely) on mecha from past Sentai.
