Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This crossover was filmed during Gokaiger's final weeks and Go-Busters' 20th episode, meaning both casts were exhausted and running on pure adrenaline.
The 'VS' format dates to 1995's Ohranger vs. Kakuranger and remains a box office guarantee because Japanese audiences will literally pay to watch Red Rangers punch each other.
