The show will succeed Mashin Sentai Kiramager, joining Kamen Rider Saber in the Super Hero Time line-up on TV Asahi on March 7, 2021. The show's name comes from the titular team's catchphrase, "Zenryoku Zenkai" (全力全開, lit. "full throttle").[2][3]

Plot

The evil empire of Tojitend who rules the world of Kikaitopia with an iron grip begins their plan to take over all parallel worlds. To face this new threat, a brave and energetic young man called Kaito Goshikida inherits the powers of all the previous Super Sentai. Transforming into ZenKaizer, he joins forces with four robotic inhabitants of Kikaitopia: Juran, Gaon, Magine and Vroon. Together, they protect all worlds from Tojitend's threat as the Zenkaigers.[2][3]

Characters

Zenkaigers

The Zenkaigers consist of a lone human who leads his team of four Machine Life Form Kikainoids (機械生命体キカイノイド, Kikai Seimeitai Kikainoido) from the parallel world of Kikaitopia (キカイトピア).[4]

The Zenkaigers utilize a multipurpose Geartlinger (ギアトリンガー, Giatoringā) device for transformation, combat, or to enlarge the robot members of the team. It can also access the weapons and abilities of past Sentai heroes by scanning a Sentai Gear (センタイギア, Sentai Gia),[2][3] each of which bears the number of a different Super Sentai. When enlarged, the Kikainoids can also access stronger, mecha-like forms via Kikai Transformation (機界変形, Kikai Henkei).

  • Kaito Goshikida (五色田 介人, Goshikida Kaito): The leader and sole human member of the team. He is a cheerful young man who is usually easygoing, but dedicates himself wholeheartedly when something piques his curiosity. Using Sentai Gear #45, which he received from Himitsu Sentai Gorenger's Akarenger, he can transform into the white-colored ZenKaizer (ゼンカイザー, Zenkaizā).
  • Juran (ジュラン):[5] A red-colored Kikainoid and the oldest of the four robots.[6] He loves parties and enjoys being the center of attention.
