Scroll 3: Impostor and Sixty Seconds
This episode opens with Nanami once more doing her Enka act, and receiving increasingly less attention for it. To the point she blows it off, much to her manager’s consternation and returns to base just as Yosuke and Kouta are asking why their last battle wasn’t on the news (Remember that. It’ll be important later). Hamster Headmaster then instructs the three to investigate people who’ve started acting out of character, examples including a little girl pulling up flowers she planted with her friend and a boss destroying his own office (you know it’d be he disgruntled employees doing that normally). The only link is, coincidentally given Nanami’s dreams of stardom, a tv station.
As our heroes go to investigate, we cut to the Centipede, where Sargain and Furabijo are ready to write Chuzoobo off as a failure for apparently doing nothing. (Typical Sentai villain fare, really) Then Tau Zant and Wendinu reveal that he is working on a plan, but instead of overseeing it personally, he’s searching through Jakanja’s trash for something.
We then cut to the studio, where our three legendary successors search around, with Nanami coming across the famous music producer Yagi, who just so happens to be in charge of the type of acts she wants to become. (Have I mentioned Furabijo is there?) Yagi-P then decides he wants Nanami in his category for The Voice Japan over someone who showed up to audition (what a dick). As Nanami goes in and starts singing a song I haven’t been able to find the name of (it seems to be a more upbeat version of her usual enka song), the mic creates a copy of our Blue Heroine and sucks the real one inside. This turns out to be Chuzoobo’s latest plan to corrupt the planet and find “that”: replace everybody with evil doppelgängers while the real ones are trapped inside the microphone. (How this helps is left as a riddle for the ages). Since the Hurricanegers have shown up, Furabijo decides to have the fake Nanami scout them for the fake Yagi-P.
Meanwhile, Nanami ends up with the originals, including Yagi-P, the office boss and the little girl among several extras, inside a pocket dimension. They then see Yosuke and Kouta fall for fake Nanami’s offer to let them sing and fake Yagi-P calling them good (the real one doesn’t think they’re that good). Nanami tries to change into HurricaneBlue as discreetly as possible (read, telling everyone to cover their eyes and ears), only to find that she can’t do that in here. And to add insult to injury, Yagi-P calls her morph call too old-fashioned (I take it back, he’s more Simon Cowell than a Voice judge). So Nanami instead escapes by using her water ninpo to rocket out of the mic. The mic then transforms into our monster for this episode, Copy Ninja Kuriottsebo (I have no idea if I spelt that correctly)
(Yes, that is the best picture I could find of him)
After a commercial break, Nanami confronts her doppelgänger, who uses the Shuriken feature on her Gyro to attack, only to fall for the empty costume trick and get captured in a harpoon. As Yosuke and Kouta transform to fight Copy Ninja (that’s what I’m calling him for the rest of this post), Nanami transforms and destroys the fake with her Sonic Megaphone (why couldn’t she do that before?)
As the three Hurricanegers reunite, Copy Ninja summons the Megarappas to aid him. Since they’ve already blown the budget on Nanami vs Nanami, we instead get a new Chou Ninpo: Kage no Mai (Dance of the Shadows)
(Get used to this. It becomes a regular thing)
After Copy Ninja turns out to be too fast to hit, Nanami traps him underwater so she can hit him, before they form the Triple Gadget with the Sonic Megaphone up front. This blows Copy Ninja to pieces, while everyone he captured returns to reality as their fakes vanish.
Before Furabijo and Sargain can continue what they started earlier, Chuzoobo shows up with what he was looking for: the lost ancient Jakanja spell (what the heck was it doing in the trash?). Chuzoobo then proceeds to place it on a scroll, giving an ominous hint as to its effects.
(This is starting to look familiar)
Chuzoobo then gives Wendinu the scroll, who then proceeds to fire it from a Bazooka she just happens to have.
(This is getting more familiar)
(Ah yes, the Scroll of Empowerment from Ninja Storm. Now to get a bit off topic, but I’m very partial to shows that give every general their own army with its own motif [Metalder, Black RX, Bee Fighter, Gingaman, Boukenger, Go-Onger, Goseiger and Kyoryuger come to mind], so I’m even happier that this one is giving them individual growth methods).
The Hurricanegers then summon the Shinobi Machines and combine into Senpuujin. But Copy Ninja’s abilities and speed prove too much for them. Cue Oboro.
It turns out that Senpuujin can “hurry up” into a faster form for only 60 seconds. So they do exactly that.
(This exists purely to promote a non transforming, undetailed release of Senpuujin, now available at all good ToysRUs in 2002)
And then this music plays as Senpuujin Hurrier proceeds to whoop ass.
And once Senpuujin “hurries down”, Copy Ninja is so weak that they kill him with their regular finisher. As Hamster Headmaster tells Oboro she knows what to do, our heroes wonder if they’ll actually be on the news this time. Nanami is approached by Yagi-P, who decided after seeing her as HurricaneBlue that he wants to represent her and it all seems like a happy ending for our heroes…
Lol, no.
Hamster Headmaster sends out a team of robot Kuroko to go around and wipe everyone’s memories of the Hurricanegers. (beating both Shinkenger and Goseiger to their respective punches) Thus, Yagi-P forgets about Nanami. But it’s not all bad, as she vows to get famous by continuing down her path of Enka (good luck with that).
Our next episode, Drilling and Siblings, looks to round out our focus episodes for the cast by focusing on Kouta, in addition to introducing a new Karakuri Ball.
Final Thoughts: This episode gave me a good feel for Nanami’s character and I loved Sargain’s rivalry with Chuzoobo. I didn’t expect the big producer to be a main character, so the ending twist isn’t that cruel.
