Toei has copyrighted the name of their next proposed Super Sentai Series. Kaizoku Sentai Goukaiger will be the name of the next series. translated into english meaning Pirate Team Goukaiger.
Okay, so I got some new information from Toku Insider regarding the Goukaiger series.
Each of the Goukaigers will be able not only to transform into their core form, but they will be able to transform into a Ranger from any of the previous series. The core colors are Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, and Pink.
To transform into an alternate Ranger of their color, they must yell "Change Sentai Name". For instance, if GoukaiRed wants to become Akaranger (the very 1st Red Ranger in Super Sentai history), he must put a small figure of Akaranger in his belt and yell "Change Goranger".
If GoukaiGreen wants to become Dragon Ranger (from Zyuranger), he must put the Dragon Ranger figure in his belt and yell "Change Zyuranger".
The villains practically have the same power as the Goukaigers except they can turn into any villain from the past 35 series.
I think this would make quite a series as it would be a true homage to the entire Super Sentai Universe.
Toku Insider revealed possible casting for the 35th Anniversary Super Sentai Series
Rumored that the henshin device will be a "pirate sword" and the series will also bring back Rangers from the past 34 series, including Akaranger from the very 1st Sentai series, 1975's Himitsu Sentai Gorange
Saban Entertainment distributed the Power Rangers series from 1993 until the end of 2001, and Fox broadcast it until the fall of 2002. The Walt Disney Company purchased the franchise as a part of a buyout that took place in 2001.[1][12][13][14] This resulted in Fox Family Worldwide becoming ABC Family Worldwide Inc.[14] This buyout also saw Saban Entertainment becoming BVS Entertainment, fromNews Corporation, Fox's parent company, and Haim Saban.[14] The show continued to air on Fox until the company replaced its Fox Kidspackage with "FoxBox" in the United States. Since September 2002, all Power Rangers shows have aired on various Disney-owned networks (ABC Kids, Toon Disney and Jetix channels worldwide).[12] ABC Family, another Disney-owned network, also used to air Power Rangers until it did away with its Jetix timeslot after August 31, 2006. On February 12, 2009, Toon Disney ended in the wake of Disney XD, ending cable airings of Power Rangers in certain areas of the United States. Several ABC affiliate broadcasting groups, most notablyHearst-Argyle Television and Allbritton,[citation needed] have declined to air most of the Power Rangers series since 2006 due to the lack of FCC-compliant educational and informational content in the programs.[15]
An article in The New Zealand Herald published on March 7, 2009 identified RPM as the last season of the Power Rangers run. Production manager Sally Campbell stated in an interview, "...at this stage we will not be shooting another season."[3][16] A September 1, 2009, revision to Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia by Disney's head archivist Dave Smith states that "production of new episodes [of Power Rangers] ceased in 2009".[17] On October 1, 2009, Bandai released a press release that Disney would re-broadcast Mighty Morphin Power Rangers starting in January 2010 on ABC Kids. A new toy line accompanied the series and appeared in stores in the later part of 2009.[4][5][12]ABC's over-the air telecasts ended on August 28, 2010, as they returned the hour back to their affiliates to do as they please.
In mid-2010, Haim Saban's Saban Brands bought the Power Rangers franchise back from Disney for $43 million[18] and will produce a new eighteenth season of Power Rangers, now subtitled Samurai, which will begin airing on Nickelodeon February 7, 2011,[7][19] with the previous 700 episodes being rerun on Nicktoons sometime in early 2011.[19][20][21] It was also announced that Saban plans to make a new Power Rangers movie.[22] On July 26, 2010, it was announced that Saban Brands awarded the international television distribution rights for Power Rangers to MarVista Entertainment

Thuy Trang (Vietnamese: Thùy Trang, December 14, 1973 - September 3, 2001) was a Vietnamese American actress. She was best known for her role as Trini Kwan, the first Yellow Ranger of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise.
Early life
Trang's father was a soldier in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) and was defending the capital Saigon from the Communist Vietnam People's Army during the fall of Saigon in 1975. The Communist forces overcame his battalion, which was low on ammunition and air support, during a fierce battle. He decided to return home to retrieve his family, but the route was blocked by the North Vietnamese Army. Fearing for his life, he fled South Vietnam and was given political asylum by the United States. He vowed to bring his family to the United States and contact U.S. government officials to politically pressure the Communist government of the unified Vietnam.
In 1975 the rest of the family (Thuy, her mother, two brothers and a sister) were forced to flee Saigon and in 1979 they secretly boarded a cargo ship along with hundreds of other persecuted Southern Vietnamese traveling to Hong Kong, with the ultimate aim of reaching the United States. Trang herself was very ill at the time and almost did not survive.
Upon arrival in Hong Kong, Trang's father petitioned the U.S. government for political asylum for his family. After some time living in a Hong Kong detention camp, Trang and her family were reunited in Little Saigon, California in 1980. The reunion would be short lived, however, as her father would die of cancer in 1982. Trang began to study kung fu around the age of nine.
Trang graduated from Banning High School and earned a scholarship to study civil engineering at the University of California, Irvine, planning to follow her father and older siblings into engineering. However, around 1992 she was approached by a talent scout, sparking an interest in acting. [edit] Acting career
During 1984, Trang played a small role in an advertisement for Scientology, though she herself was a Buddhist.[1]
Through the talent scout she got small roles in a couple of TV commercials/advertisements before getting her first major role in 1993 when she landed the role of Trini Kwan, the Yellow Ranger, on the original cast of the TV series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Trang was on the show for about one and a half seasons. She left the show along with Austin St. John and Walter Emanuel Jones, with whom she became very good friends, and was replaced by Karan Ashley. She went on to play Kali, one of the lead villains in the 1996 movie The Crow: City of Angels.
Earlier the same year, she also appeared in Spy Hard as a manicurist. However, she was incorrectly credited as a masseuse, her credit being somehow switched with Tara Leon, who played a masseuse in the same short scene.
She was set to appear in Cyberstrike, which never entered production. Trang also appeared in a video documentary called the The Encyclopedia of Martial Arts in 1995 as an interviewee. [edit] Death
Trang died in a car accident at the age of 27 on September 3, 2001 near San Francisco, California. She and former actress/model Angela Rockwood-Nguyen (Dustin Nguyen's wife), to whom Trang was to be a bridesmaid later that year, were passengers in a car traveling on Interstate 5 between San Francisco and Los Angeles. They were returning from visiting Rockwood-Nguyen's planned maid of honour when the driver (another of the bridesmaids) of the vehicle she was riding in lost control. The car swerved violently across the road before hitting the roadside rock face and flipping several times before hitting the safety rail and plunging over the bank. [2]
Rockwood-Nguyen, who has claimed both that she was[3] and was not[4] wearing a seat belt in different interviews, survived despite being thrown out of the vehicle through a window before its final impact; she is now quadriplegic. Trang, who was believed not to have worn a seat belt, died from the injuries she sustained. The driver did not suffer any lasting injuries.
Her Power Rangers co-stars Amy Jo Johnson and David Yost attended the funeral and memorial service.[5]
Trang was cremated a week later on September 10; her ashes are interred at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California.
The episode "Circuit Unsure" of Power Rangers: Time Force was dedicated to her memory.
