Gozyuger Vs. Boonboomger Interview: Actors Discuss Light Fuse, Team Dynamics
The interview reveals that the V-Cinema 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.

An interview with Shino Fuyuno (GojuWolf/Saint GojuWolf/Tono Inu) and Haruhi Inai (BoonRed/Hando Daiya) for the V-Cinema "Number One Sentai Gozyuger vs. Boonboomger" was published by Ota-Jo on April 14, 2026. Inai noted that the film shows the Boonboomger team having 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 interview also covered the appearance of a transformed, saintly version of Fuyuno's character called "Light Fuse" (Hikari Inu), 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 Ota-Jo interview with Shino Fuyuno and Haruhi Inai provides the first detailed look at how "Number One Sentai Gozyuger vs. Boonboomger" handles its crossover. Inai explained that the film avoids the standard V-Cinema trope of splitting the hero teams apart; instead, it focuses on internal changes within Fuyuno's character, Inu, who becomes a saintly figure called Light Fuse. Fuyuno admitted the role was difficult because the character's narcissistic, gentlemanly dialogue was completely foreign to him, and he had to mentally reset to play it. Inai, who had previously appeared on Gozyuger as a different character (Natsume Tsutsumi), said he was excited to see how Fuyuno would handle the transformation, and the final result matched his imagination perfectly. The interview also touches on the guest appearances by three past Red Rangers, with Inai noting that Gokaiger fans will appreciate a cameo by voice actor Tomokazu Seki as an enemy character. Both actors discussed the Super Sentai series' upcoming hiatus, with Inai expressing that he is not dwelling on the sadness, but instead looking forward to whatever new series begins next.
