Gokai Silver Gold Mode

Gold Mode (ゴールドモード, Gōrudo Mōdo) is a golden armor accessed by Gokai Silver, his personal power-up. It is from this form that he gains the strength of the Sixth Rangers of the past. He transforms with the aid of the Gold Anchor Key (ゴールドアンカーキー, Gōrudo Ankā Kī), which is a combination of the fifteen Sixth Ranger Keys.

As seen in spin-off media, any of the original five Gokaigers can assume Gold Mode.

Appearance

When activated, it forms an armor similar to the key around his chest and the spikes of the "anchor" serve as thigh armor. His helmet is pushed down and the Gokai Spear changes to Anchor Mode.

History

Creation

After Gai somehow fused the keys of the Go-On Wings duo, Go-On Gold and Go-On Silver, Don later suggested that he do the same with all 15 Sixth Ranger keys using his imagination. After Gai pleaded for it, all 15 Sixth Rangers banded together to form the Golden Anchor Key, a key shaped like an Anchor with all the Sixth Rangers' faces on it. Gai normally uses his Ranger Keys by placing them inside his Gokai Cellular and then scanning them, but the Anchor Key is instead inserted into a slot in the bottom of the Gokai Cellular.

Finishers

Gokai Legendream

In this form, he gains an increase in both speed and strength and is able to use a third variant of his Final Wave (after the Gokai Spear's Gokai Shooting Star and Gokai Supernova), called Gokai Legendream (ゴーカイレジェンドリーム, Gōkai Rejendorīmu).

To do so, he begins by inserting the Gokai Silver Key into and swinging the Gokai Spear, which summons the heads of the past 15 Sixth Rangers with a flash of their personal symbols. First MegaSilver, GaoSilver, MagiShine, Bouken Silver, Go-On Gold, Go-On Silver and Gosei Knight appear to use their weapons in gun mode (MagiShine's sole weapon in any case) to fire at the enemy to form the next line of Rangers. The blasts form into DragonRanger, KibaRanger, KingRanger, TimeFire, Shurikenger, AbareKiller, DekaBreak and Shinken Gold, and they slash at (or in DekaBreak's case punch) the enemy to finish it off, and Gai himself performs the final attack by slashing the enemy with the Gokai Spear. When first used, the attack seemed to tire him out.

Notes

Gokai Silver Gold Mode and Decade Complete Form — Gokai Silver Gold Mode with Decade Complete Form.

Gokai Silver's Gold Mode and Decade's Complete Form of Kamen Rider Decade were noted by Narutaki as one of the similarities between Gokaiger and Decade in the Super Hero Taihen net movie The Grown-ups’ Narumi Detective Agency Ep. 1: Is Gokaiger a Ripoff of Decade?, this similarity understandably came as the biggest shock to Gokai Silver, who posed the question in the first place.
