Toku Secrets Podcast: Episode 233 – No. 1 Sentai Gozyuger – TegaSword of Resurrection Review

The Toku Secrets Podcast reviews the No. 1 Sentai GoZyuger movie TegaSword of Resurrection, a film that takes place between Episode 26 and Episode 27 of the series.

In this review, we break down the story, the villain Pestis, the return of TegaSword, and the massive Sentai Easter egg battle featuring foot soldiers from across Super Sentai history. Despite the exciting concept, the movie left us with a lot of mixed — and mostly negative — feelings.

We discuss whether the movie lived up to the legacy of Super Sentai crossover films, analyze the TegaSword Origin mech battle, and talk about why the story and execution didn’t land the way we hoped.

We also cover some of the film’s interesting trivia and behind-the-scenes context, including its release timing following the Maya Imamori controversy.
