Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャー, Kaizoku Sentai Gōkaijā, [Note 1][Note 2]) is the title of the 2011 Super Sentai Series, the 35th overall, and will premiere on TV Asahi on February 13, 2011, following the finale of Tensou Sentai Goseiger. The series has a pirate (海賊, kaizoku) motif and as the 35th anniversary series, the protagonists will have access to the powers of the previous 34 Super Sentai teams.
On July 30, 2010, Toei applied for trademarks on the title Kaizoku Sentai Gōkaijā (海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャー) to be used on various products. The Japan Patent Office approved these trademarks on August 26, 2010.[1][2] During the Super Sentai VS Theater programming on December 26, 2010, the series was officially announced in a commercial. A Tokyo Dome City event for the premiere, serving as the introduction of the cast and theme song singers to the public, held on January 29 and 30, 2011.[3]
Plot
A group of young pirates come from space to Earth to obtain the "The Greatest Treasure in the Universe" (宇宙最大の宝, Uchū Saidai no Takara). However, they end up facing the Space Empire Zangyack (宇宙帝国ザンギャック, Uchū Teikoku Zangyakku), who were sealed away by the 34 Sentai groups until they awaken and resume their invasion of Earth. As a result, the space pirates use the powers of the older teams to fight Zangyack as the Gokaigers.
Episodes
Each episode of Gokaiger is titled similarly to a previous Super Sentai Series' unique titling quirk.

Notes
- ^ The name "Gokaiger" appears on the characters' transformation devices. In early promotional materials for the series, the name of the series is parsed as "Goukaiger" in English. The URLs for the series' various websites romanize Gōkai (ゴーカイ) as "Go-kai".
- ^ In early promotional materials for the series, the Japanese word gōkai (豪快, exciting; heroic) is used as a meaning for the series' title.
