I'm new here. I can't imagine I'm the only tokufan who comes up with his own sentai regularly. I've recently come up with the following, and present to you all just on the off change is turns out to be interesting to anyone:
I call it Zyukan Sentai Gokôger (循環戦隊ゴコウジャー), or "Circulation Squadron Gokōger/Wuxing'ger." This team's theme borrows heavily from ToQger, but rather than merely trading weapons and colors (the point of which I've never figured out), but exchanging elemental powers. They each possess their own weapon, so if, say, the fire-sword guy (red) trades with the lighting-gun guy (white), they become lightning-sword guy (white) and fire-gun guy (red) respectively. I lifted these elemental powers from the Chinese concept of "Wu Xing," the Five Phases:
That's how they're colored in the traditional scheme; their names are based on the Japanese approximations of their Chinese names. The next part of the gimmick is that each ranger has his/her own weapon, which assumes the powers of the element that ranger is using:
Their mechs combine to form “Ch’ung-ch’ao-shen”/”Heavy Super-God” (重超神「チョンチョウシェン」). And, to recap, they can trade those elemental powers I mentioned earlier. So GokōShooter will always wield a gun; when she’s red, that gun is shooting fire bullets; when she’s black, it’s a freeze-ray; when she’s white, it’s some kind of photon-gun; etc. And so for the others as well. Those are my heroes. You'll notice the core concept and theme are, together, more or less a hodgepodge of other sentai, Dairanger and ToQger in particular. My villains, on the other hand, might be a little more unique as far as sentai go: they're called the Fomorians (フォモラ人). These are beings of ancient Irish mythology. Before the Gaels arrived in Ireland, the island had been occupied by a shadowy, grotesque race of beings called the Fomorians. But then the Tuatha de Danaan, who would become the ancient Irish pantheon, arrived on the island and forced the Fomorians away. Where the Tuatha represented reason and living in harmony with nature, the Fomorians represented the untamed and hostile ancient world, unsuitable for human life. A very aquatic race, their abyssal headquarters can also generate nightmares and madness, tapping into the human psyche where the dark, primal urges and psychoses are hidden. They have reemerged from the ocean due to some mysterious cause somehow linked with the tsunami, and they begin to prompt madness in the Japanese population to prepare the country for their invasion. It is unclear why they have chosen Japan over Ireland, but they seem to be attracted to the island-character of the country. Perhaps this is a vacation? And I wouldn’t feel like I’ve made a true sentai without at least one additional, mid-season ranger. I call him GokōMixer (コゴウミクシャー). His supply of elemental power is much more limited than that of the main team, so, to preserve his supply, he mixes them, as a painter mixes primary colors, thus creating ten new elements: orange, purple, pink, maroon, green, pale yellow, dark yellow, baby blue, navy blue, grey. I wouldn’t even begin to know what these elements would be. I’m thinking of calling this supply, which I picture to be some kind of liquid contained in the transformation item, something like “goki.” This is about where I've petered out. I couldn't even be bothered to name the transformation item. Last edited by Kamizabuger; 10-22-2016 at 10:52 PM.. |
