The five Goseigers are actually members of a branch of human life called the "Gosei Angels" (護星天使, Gosei Tenshi), whose mission is to protect the Earth.[1] But Earth is targeted by an evil invasion force called Warstar which destroyed the Heaven's Tower (天の塔, Ten no Tō), a passageway between Earth and the Gosei World. While finding a way to return to their dimension, the Goseigers defend Earth from Warstar and stop its forces from stealing the planets's life energy.[4][5][6]

Using the Heaven's Tower as a bridge between the dimensions, the Gosei Angels made it their mission to protect Earth. However, when the Heaven's Tower is destroyed, only five Gosei Angels are left on the Earth to complete this mission.[4][5][6]
