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.
