So, this exists. Finally some crossover with Gokaiger and Twokaizer.
It's bland. Gai, Marvelous and Ahim came back, plus Zox, and Flint. It's fun, but nothing more.

I appreciate how it focuses on the Goldtwoikar siblings so they don't get overshadowed by the Gokaigers. There's still some obvious fanservice here, but I think Komura does a good job at making it work around the story, instead of the other way around. I'm glad that Flint got her official turn as Twokaizer and the plot twist with Doetamu being a creep was pretty surprising for how repulsive he turned out to be.
(I'm also excited to know sixthrangerfan's reaction to Phoenix Soldier's face on the Twokai Unit!)

It was always obvious Houou Soldier was the "sixth" Kyuranger.
I have a weird theory on the Bug Busters. Gai uses them when fused but lends them to Don and Ahim when separate (like how Gao Yellow lends his bears to Blue and White). It'd be a neat way to give everyone a Buster Key.

^ Welcome back, Jikuken! Yeah, I'm glad Phoenix Soldier can finally get the recognition he deserves.
Beet and Stag are an unusual case, since they don't appear in the Sixth category on that game you posted, but they're on that Twokai Unit, so as a sportsman I'm willing to concede that they are, somehow, Sixths. Now we just need to keep campaigning for Chopper's recognition.

They weren't in the game for the same reason why Abare Killer was left out of sixth ranger groupings; they're improper "sixth" rangers. Abare Killer and the Bug Busters always nodded the five-person format in core teams less than five while filling the sixth ranger quotas in marketing.
I'm not hung up on Geki Chopper. He still falls under the "tsuika senshi" (additional warrior) label as every sixth ranger does. His marketing was akin to the sixth ranger like Mikoto, and Jin and J. He (alongside Geki Violet) teamed up with Bouken Silver in the crossover. Would I love to see him grouped with sixth rangers like Kuro Kishi had been? Sure.

It's still weird Abarekiller is accepted as Sixth Ranger....but GekiChopper doesn't.
They have the same position, basically.

I at least think Gai should've changed into Geki Chopper at one point. Ahim Gokai Changed into Abare Killer, and that's a blatant nod to Abare Killer being her "missing" Abaranger Key. Kuro Kishi had official sixth ranger treatment in the past, and Gokaiger still indirectly referenced that in the Gingaman tribute and Grand Power.
There's a set-up where Gai's Geki Chopper change could work. Have all the Gokaigers turn into two groups for the "4th" and "5th rangers" including Abare Killer.
Group 1
Gokai Red = Big One
Gokai Blue = Green Sai
Gokai Yellow = Black Bison (w/ skirt)
Gokai Green = Abare Black
Gokai Pink = Abare Killer (w/ skirt)
Gokai Silver = Stag Buster, then Beet Buster (if post Gokaiger)
Group 2
Gokai Red = Kabuto Raiger
Gokai Blue = Kuwaga Raiger
Gokai Yellow = Geki Violet (w/ skirt)
Gokai Green = Go-On Green
Gokai Pink = Go-On Black (w/ skirt)
Gokai Silver = Geki Chopper
Note none of this is random. They all follow a rhyme or reason, and it manages to include every 4th and 5th ranger (including the ones with honorary sixth ranger treatment). (IMO, Ryu Commander fits under the "5th ranger" umbrella like Big One.)
