Who was Gosei?
 

It seems odd that Zordon suddenly had a protege out of nowhere.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Zordon was really old and so is Gosei. There is plenty of time for Zordon to mentor Gosei.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Its odd that that Gosei didn't take over.foe Zordon in Turbo.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Gosei was one of Zordon 's million contingency plans. But he kept him in stasis out of fear. He didn't wake him up to take over the Turbo because he didn't want Gosei to turn on him. He wasn't afraid of Dimitria.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

To be honest, the whole "Zordon was my mentor" thing seems to be put in there in the last second. It's NEVER addressed or even mentioned again. The MMPR team is not even referenced in (Super) Megaforce. Except for 2 cast member and Ranger suit & weapons cameos, not much thought was made what makes it into the script and then into the final aired version of the show. That season didn't even get the chance to tell a proper storyline, even if it's bland. (Super) Megaforce was a season that just served to burn off Sentai footage from their 2 seasons for anniversary reasons because they weren't able to get enough people to come back and do proper tribute episodes. Nothing more.

I like to pretend that Gosei has no connection to our Zordon. Trust me, the line was just put together to get & keep the hype going. In my mind, the Megaforce Ranger fought the Warstar for 40 episodes and a completely separate team did the same against the Armada for the same amount of episodes.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Yeah it was a pretty random line. Just like the odd line of Zordon making Tommy the leader with Jason reacting like it was awesome.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

It was lazy writing as was the norm at that point.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

It would have made more sense if JDF was the voice of Gosei. Then it can be revealed that Tommy was mentoring them remotely.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

That would have been cool and easy to pull off. Since JDF would just have to send his lines in by phone like he did during the stuck morphed storyline in DinoThunder. Plus JDF was making a real appearance in Legendary Battle.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Also, it would be better if, instead of Gosei, the Rangers would have had a female-type mentor like Hayley was in DinoThunder who conveniently knows everything about past Ranger teams and their history, including the identities of the current Rangers. It could work well for character focused episodes and we would have at least gotten at least anniversarry-type references to past Rangers and their teams in both Megaforce and Super Megafroce "seasons".

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

There is a lot that could have been done to make Megaforce a better season.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Like higher better writers!

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Or actually hire writers. They had glorfied Sentai dubbers back then.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

They did have a few writers but it didn't feel like that a lot of the time.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

I loved Super Megaforce. Legendary Battle is right up there with C2D for me. I know they onoy had so much time to get all the cameos in. But the final battle was just amazing to me..

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

I would have liked to have seen them do more with the returning cast members. At least the international version of Legendary Battle was better.

As for Gosei, I just assumed he was a student of Zordon at some point.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

I agree with the poster that said Gosei's line about Zordon being his mentor shouldn't have been added. Its clear they had no plan beyond fan service. At least mention it again once or twice. If not elaborate on what he means.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

It was an odd thing for him to say anyway. Why would he think the Megaforce Rangers knew about Zordon?

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Zordon and the Power Rangers mythos are well known in the PRU. They don't know every detail.But Zordon became common knowledge after Countdown To Destruction.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Probably before since the NASADA commander in Turbo knew Zordon by name.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Gosei was Zordon's son.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Maybe Zordon taught him how to become a big giant head.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

I think they just wanted someone like Zordon but didn't bother explaining it too much.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Tommy should have been the mentor for Megaforce.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

No way! It waa bad enough he even made an appearance in Super Megaforce.

Re: Who was Gosei?
 

Just like when they stupidly through Rita as Mystic Mother out and expected us to buy it.
