Im sure its already been said, but I just found out what Kyu means in kyu ranger...it's nine...literally this season is called Space Sentai Nine Rangers... So that means kyutama are Nine Globes? That doesn't sound quite right. Does Kyu have another meaning?
Edit Actually through translate I got sphere as the meaning of Kyu, which also works. So more likely sphere ranger? Then what does kyutama mean in this case? Last edited by Sanddeath; 04-25-2017 at 11:41 PM.. |

Edit Actually through translate I got sphere as the meaning of Kyu, which also works. So more likely sphere ranger? Then what does kyutama mean in this case? The word "kyu" can be utilized in many ways depending on the kanji. In terms of Kyuranger the most obvious ones are the number "9" and "orb/sphere/ball". Other words that can be associated are also "save" or "ultimate". During their role call, the phrase "Kyunin no kyukyoku no kyuseishu" literally translates to "Nine ultimate saviors"(typically the kyunin should be "kunin" but in this case they pronounced it as kyunin to match the wordplay from the looks of it). So in conclusion I think initially it is best to consider the number 9 as the default meaning since this is also a reference to Gorenger which means five rangers and since the default roster are the first nine Kyurangers. But because of wordplay one must also consider orb/sphere/ball, ultimate, and save/rescue as well.

It is all of it given the wordplay involved.

Though I personally would prefer calling them Kyu-balls or Kyu-orbs if I was to rename them. It's very subjective given how many homonyms are available for the word "Kyu" within the context of Kyuranger.

Ok. So looking at the scans, judging from the Kyutama withe the picture of Balance dressed as a magician, #58 is Columba, the Dove. #35 is Sagitta, The Arrow. And #55 is Lyra, the Lyre (or harp as some people call it). Those are the only ones I can make out image-wise. Also, anyone else find it odd that Scorpio has orange accents to his monster form?
