[spoiler]text here is blacked out[/spoiler]

i'm so ready for ninjaman to make his debut its not even funny, can not WAIT!

A mild, spoilery warning about this episode:

It's a clip show.

I'm okay with how they did it, and it's IMPORTANT, but it's still a clip show.

Been excited for a Kakuranger tribute for a while, so I'm looking forward to this!

I will say i was both disappointed with this episode (for reasons you'll see when you see it), but i did like both Ninjaman and Tsuruhime being in it.

Tsuruhime FTW!

So I finally get my Ninjaman tribute and its a clip show?

Oh Toei, you know how to break my balls :lol

just waiting for Over-time to release it so I can watch

He'll still be around next week, so chances are that'd be the proper tribute

Anyway, apparently there was a deleted scene from 45, here it is. http://www.jefusion.com/2012/01/kaiz...ted-scene.html

They better, I need me some proper ninjaman/ninjor action

and that deleted scene is awesome :lol that means we'll get Ninjor over here as well, someone go find that original voice actor

Just finished the episode, and, even though it is a clip show, man oh man did I LOVE IT!

it is the episode I have waited for this whole series, I would of been happy just getting ninjaman as a rangerkey, but man, we got the real deal, The child in me is happy as hell right now

And we get more ninjaman next week, including seeing him fight alongside kazen gokai-oh.....I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!

It's odd for them to have a clip show this late in the series, but I guess it's more of a retrospective than anything, besides, Luka in Kimono, what can be better than that? :D

I can think of one thing....


NINJAMAN!!!!

Next episode looks amazing, I can't wait!!

Reading Over-Time's description of the episode, I feared the worst, thinking it would be the worst thing Gokaiger has ever put out. Turns out, it's not bad, even if it's a clip show. Clip shows are often insanely boring, but this one was not only retrospective, but honored the legacy of the Gokaigers.

I was also pretty surprised that every team has been represented by a fighting move on-screen. It was a pleasure to watch them cycle through each of the teams, they've changed into, as well as through each of the legends they've met.

Besides, there was a lot of good footage, with some unique Gokai changes. All in all, a much better episode than expected; it was relaxing, fun and a great retrospective look at Gokaiger. I hope Ninjaman becomes a regular!

Goseiger had theirs about this time last year(trying to figure out WTH Buredoran was and what he was up to).

its scary that i forgot about half the greater powers that the team had, the episode was good overall and they actually had an odd reason to seal ninjaman......... i just wish that we got another shot an all blue gokaichange because i think they wasted it with this episode. but like i said its a great episode cant wait for next week

I love all the 4th wall breaking that they did

For a clip episode, that was pretty darn good. Seeing Ninjaman again was great, and the clips were chosen well (I especially liked the various gokai change clips). Poor Joe having his masterpiece destroyed :lol

Also, hearing the Kakuranger theme at the end gave me tingles :D can't wait for next week's!

While it was a clip show, it was a pretty fun one. And Ninjaman was pretty awesome in this episode, can't wait to see more of him next week.

Yeah, I loved the episode. Made me realize how much of Gokaiger I've forgotten. Time to re watch the series!

I did that after having it pointed out to me that Luka using the double GokaiSaber had happened outside of 199 Heroes. Penitence never felt so awesome :lol

Don't skip this episode just because you heard it's a clip show. Also don't skip it because you read it's bad. Please watch it. It has more than just random clips.

I agree, it is actually very good episode.

So Ninjaman gets to stay a while longer? That's great, I thought he'd be a one episode appearance.

Well ,I'd say this was a really great ep, even if it was a nice recap. Was great to see Judau Ashta/Ninjaman react to the Gokaiger's Lion henshin.

All the bits between the clips I really enjoyed. I even thought there were a couple of good character moments as well.

I honestly just skipped through the clips... I must admit that clip shows, no matter how good the show is, bore me to tears. I stomached my way though the team name countdown, but as soon as they started a montage of Gokai-Oh forms I scrubbed through that track bar like a madman.

I've only seen Shinkenger all the way through, and that was a while ago, but did the other series have clip show episodes? Or did Gokaiger decide to tread new ground?

I was actually glad it was a clip show. I've only been watching a couple weeks,so I needed the primer. And how can you best seeing them go through every previous team?!

I liked Ninjaman's ability to "see" the clips almpst as much as I like how his "metal" armor bends when he sits down.

I think the best parts of this episode were the things the characters who weren't talking were doing in the background. Namely Joe sulking in a treasure chest, and Gai and Joe's little slap fight after they free Ninjaman.

Not to mention how the team made all those food for Ninjaman, and somehow expects him to eat it with that mask on? :lol

I agree, I'm still a little behind on Gokaiger but Sentai Clipshows don't really bother me as much as clip shows in general do.

Also, I've noticed Sentai tends to have these clip shows around Episode 45, or more accurately, around the time of the new year. It's a chance to reflect on what's happened, which makes enough sense. It's a little break from the main story.

Just thought I'd mention it.

I will say, for a clip show, it at least has pretty good framing.
Plus a Tsuruhime cameo at the end! :D

Even though it was a clip show, it was really fun to watch. Really touched on some of the high points of the season, the clips of all the team changes was pretty awesome, and I actually really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the next episode, when Ninjaman becomes part of the team!

One whole week without a new Gokaiger, and all we get for it is a clip show? I am disappointed :(

Still, I don't mind Clip shows that are at least an important episode in itself, and the montages were pretty cool to watch

I actually kinda liked this episode. I'm not one for clip shows, but this clip show is one done right. Can't wait for episode 46. I needs moar Ninjaman/Ninjor!

if you skip this episode, you hate puppies, and if you hate puppies, ninjaman is gonna come find you and beat you up :lol

Man o man, sign me up for a Ninjaman figuart. I would totally display him harassing everybody from sentai to transformers alike.

I liked this EP I don't really like clipshows but I thought it was well done, also since when could Navi speak to the 4th wall and lol ninjaman destroys things

I decided to do a little summary of it.
