The V-Cinema 'Number One Sentai Gozyuger vs. Boonboomger' has been released, with cast interviews revealing a deliberate subversion of the typical VS formula through a drastic personality shift for Fuyuno's character.
The V-Cinema 'Number One Sentai Gozyuger vs. Boonboomger' is a crossover film that brings together the casts of two Super Sentai series. An interview with Shino Fuyuno (GojuWolf/Saint GojuWolf/Tono Inu) and Haruhi Inai (BoonRed/Hando Daiya) was published by Ota-Jo on April 14, 2026, providing insight into the film's approach. Inai noted that the Boonboomger team has grown since their TV series, with some members sporting changed looks like long-haired Shirou or short-bearded Bunto. Fuyuno said he relied on Inai's character Daiya to guide his own character's negativity, calling Inai a cool leader.
The film deliberately subverts the typical VS formula by giving Fuyuno's character a drastic personality shift, rather than just pairing him with the rival team's leader. A transformed, saintly version of Fuyuno's character called 'Light Fuse' (Hikari Inu) appears, which Fuyuno described as a complete departure from his usual role, requiring him to suppress his own personality. Inai praised the performance, saying it exceeded his expectations. The film features guest appearances by three past Red Rangers: BoukenRed, Gokaiger's Captain Marvelous, and JuuOhEagle. Inai, a fan of Gokaiger, highlighted a surprise for longtime viewers: the enemy character is voiced by Tomokazu Seki, who voiced the Gokaiger transformation items and narration.
Both actors reflected on the Super Sentai series' upcoming pause, expressing hope that fans will remember their work. The film is a V-Cinema release, a direct-to-video format common for Super Sentai crossovers.
