Scroll 36: Rings and Revenge
This is another Arakawa episode, so I’m just going to cut the filler and just get to the main event quickly.
We begin with the Hurricanegers running through a quarry, which is beset with mines and spear traps (so, a regular training exercise), all of them carrying a blank shinobi medal on their chests. They get pursued by the Gouraigers, who manage to take the medals from them using the BariThunders.
After the credits, Kouta points out the Hurricanegers have lost this exercise 19 times (how about we try again and make it an even 20?).
Then Yosuke and Nanami point out that there MIGHT be a bit of a power difference.
As Kouta tries to stop the two Red and Blue duos from devolving into a real fight, Yosuke and Nanami decide to hop on the BariThunders and try them out… and it turns out that there’s a difference between hopping on a bike and knowing how to use the bike (Kamen Rider’s been lying to you this whole time. Sorry kids).
At the Centipede, Satarakura is waiting on his latest Ninja Commander’s arrival through the mail (no, really. Satarakura is just that crazy). As Sargain mocks him for not using express delivery, someone comes in… but it’s Clonemarva.
As Satarakura hides from “Manmarva’s ghost” (that’s a surprisingly apt description), Clonemarva explains how he came to be.
Furabijo is confused, but Wendinu explains it to her succinctly.
Tau Zant insists that Clonemarva is much stronger than the original (I’ll believe that when I see it), and Clonemarva reveals his latest prophecy (I have to wonder how much of this he made up).
Elsewhere, the three Hayate students comment on Ikkou’s latest career.
It also turns out that the mothers are literally fighting each other for Isshu’s sweat (that’s not an exaggeration. That actually happens). So, The Hurricanegers decide to ask for help from the wisest person they know.
But Hamster Headmaster tells them to not disturb her, since she’s working on something.
It turns out she has a hot date to work on this with. As they wonder who it could be, he announces himself with “
Hi, my honey
.”
As everyone is shocked by this (yes, even Hamster Headmaster), they get even more shocked by what happens next.
As everyone is even more shocked, Nanami tears into “Ikkou” for being a flirt, he tells them they don’t
understand
, before he puts the bouquet back in front of his face and pulls it off.
As Yosuke asks why Shurikenger disguised himself as Ikkou, Oboro explains it was to make his entrance interesting, on her request (that seems an incredibly trivial use of Shurikenger’s powers). Elsewhere, Ikkou and Isshu help an old lady pick up her suitcase filled with excessive apples, while Clonemarva walks through a tunnel, carrying a set of large rings in his hand.
The Kasumi Bros then help a little girl recover her kite (I think they’re going a little overboard in showing their good sides). They quickly hear her scream and run back to her, finding a ring around her neck.
Ikkou and Isshu attempt to remove the ring, but it turns out to be electrocuted. They then hear another steam and find the old woman also has a ring on her neck. Noticing a pattern, they run back to the kendo school… where all the kids are being loaded into ambulances. Isshu then notices the rings look like Manmarva’s face (eh, not really if you ask me). At the Centipede, Furabijo wonders why Clonemarva is bothering with this torture of innocents (that’s a very good question), to which Furabijo and Sargain explain is him punishing the Gouraigers for not living in the shadows (I’m not convinced. I doubt Manmarva would’ve resorted to this kind of assholery before he was cloned). Elsewhere, we get a glimpse of Shurikenger and Oboro’s project.
As they wonder where the Hurricanegers have gone, we see the trio are working on their moves down by the riverbank. Then Clonemarva appears and collars all of them, knocking them out with an electric shock.
As all of Clonemarva’s victims are rushed to the hospital, he confronts the Kasumi Bros, informing them that all who have the ring around their necks will die when the eyes open (Again, I’m not convinced the original Manmarva would’ve resorted to this kind of sadism) and to meet him at the abandoned Onibi New Town. As Ikkou and Isshu overlook everyone in the hospital, they head out, while Clonemarva has overwhelming visions of destruction.
He informs Tau Zant that once he’s defeated the Gouraigers, he will be able to see what “that” looks like (Wait, they didn’t even know what they were looking for? No wonder they haven’t found it). Tau Zant then reveals Jakanja’s plan: to dominate the universe using “that” (rather dull, if you ask me). The Gouraigers meet with Clonemarva at an abandoned warehouse and engage in a prolonged duel using their respective bikes, for which Manmarva’s Honoo Kiba has the advantage throughout.
In the hospital, Yosuke, Nanami and Kouta wake up, tear off their apparently needless bandages (making me wonder why they put them on) and running to the scene, in spite of the eyes beginning to open. Elsewhere, Clonemarva has defeated the Gouraigers.
Before he can finish them off though, a meteor shower happens (a lot of those in this series), to which he turns his attention.
He absorbs the information in the meteors… which turns out to be too much for him (and the Jakanja once more voice my thoughts for me).
Clonemarva then mutates into a gigantic monstrosity (who I will heretofore refer to as “Clonemonstrous”) with none of his intelligence or personality intact.
Tenkuujin tries to stop Clonemonstrous, but gets easily defeated. The beast then begins to suck Ikkou and Isshu in, succeeding just as the Hurricanegers Shinobi Change on the scene.
The episode ends with the Hurricanegers facing down Clonemonstrous.
Next time: the Hurricanegers must learn to use the BariThunders to rescue the Gouraigers (why? Don’t they have hang gliders?), but Jakanja won’t make it easy for them. This and more on “Scroll 37: Third Spear and Great Escape.” And our next time line?
All: TenraiSenpuujin, on stage!
Final thoughts: Yeah, I wasn’t too keen on this episode. In addition to going overboard with the Kasumi Bros doing good deeds, I also didn’t like the fact they brought back Manmarva after his perfectly good death and turned him into a monster that barely resembles him purely so he can have an “epic” death. It annoyed me with Messiah and Escape in Go-Busters and it annoys me here.
