This article is about a location in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. |
The Negakure Temple (寝隠神社 Nekakure Jinja) is a shrine of high importance to the Gokaigers.
The Negakure Temple was the location of the pot containing Ninjaman when he was re-imprisoned by the Three God Generals after the collateral damage he caused while trying to save a little girl from rampaging zoo animals. TV STORY-Ep. 45: The Confused Ninja
Originally in the timeline, the temple was supposed to be destroyed on October 2, 2010, the same time the Goseigers and Shinkengers joined forces. The temple was originally destroyed by Zan-KT0 of the Shot of Machine Onslaught Empire Matrintis to obtain the power source Metal Alice had detected within it, this power source was presumably the imprisoned Ninjaman, who likely perished in the destruction of the temple.
However, history was changed when the Gokaigers traveled back in time using the greater power of the Timerangers (GoZyuDrill) after being instructed by Domon (Time Yellow†) to gain another greater power. The Gokaigers successfully prevented the shrine's destruction. However, upon arriving in the present, they realised they hadn't collected the greater power, to their dismay.

After collecting 29 greater powers (with Basco ta Jolokia possessing 5), the Gokaigers found that greater power of the Kakurangers was the remaining one. When Ahim suggested that they should pray to Kami-sama and Gai mentioned a shrine to pray, Don remembered the shrine, with Joe discovering the connection between "Negakure" and "Kakuranger". They arrived at the shrine where they discovered the pot and shattered it, thus freeing Ninjaman. TV STORY-Ep. 45: The Confused Ninja
