Source-derived summary

Tensou Sentai Goseiger (天装戦隊ゴセイジャー, Tensō Sentai Goseijā; Heavenly Armament Squadron Goseiger) is the title of Toei Company's 34th entry in its long-running Super Sentai franchise. It follows an angelic motif as well as a trading card theme. It joined Kamen Rider W, and later Kamen Rider OOO, as a program featured in TV Asahi's Super Hero Time programming block. It aired from February 14, 2010 to February 6, 2011, replacing Samurai Sentai Shinkenger and was replaced by Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. The series ties in with the arcade game Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O, with the characters using cards resembling Carddass cards used in the game to transform and access various weapons, similar to the concept of Kamen Rider Decade and its link to Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride. Goseiger's footage was later used for the 2013 Power Rangers series Power Rangers Megaforce and its second season Super Megaforce.

The cast and characters were revealed at an event at Tokyo Dome City on January 30 and 31, 2010. The protagonists also had a cameo appearance in the film, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger vs. Go-onger: GinmakuBang!!.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2010 television drama series of Japan” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1152081. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2011 and 2013.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
