Well no. Ryuki resets the world so that the war never happened, it never had to happen. Dairanger just makes it a big continuous circle. War lasts forever so the sacrifices and triumphs of the Dairangers mean nothing in the end. It just repeats itself.

Not entirely. If it hadn't been for the Dairangers, Dairyuujin would have destroyed the entire world. They prevented that, even if the war with the Gouma is still unfinished.

Reading up on some random trivia, I didn't know Sasuke and Tsuruhime (Well, their actors) cameo'd in Goseiger. Neat.

The second episode seemed like another comedy episode at first, but turned out to be quite serious and enjoyable. The idea of a monster becoming super smart and then abandoning the simple ambitions of Dark Shadow, only to become obsessed with saving the Earth from humanity was very well implemented. Similarly, the friendship between Eiji and the monster was really well done as well. Really strong ep, I thought.

I am trying to finish up Boukenger in prep for doing Gekiranger for LWW, but man, I am really enjoying the heck out of this show.

*sees inside second spoiler* hehe..... i guess i know where the idea of ooo was made (sorry for saying something kamen rider

Honestly, both ending are very insulting. Either ending tells you the show was pointless and didn't matter.

Well, I have not watched OOO, but in this case, the monster is not very bright. He is made from a combination of various trash items, is dim and clumsy, and always hungry. Eiji (Boukensilver) takes pity on him and doesn't destroy him because he is not a threat. Later, the monster becomes super intelligent by eating the Fruit of Knowledge (the MacGuffin for this episode). After becoming smart, he quickly disassociates with the Dark Shadow organization. Eiji sees this and they talk about using the monster's brain to help the world, so they go to the Boukengers.

There, the Boukengers want to take the Fruit of Knowledge (since it would be dangerous in the wrong hands). The monster takes this as an affront and leaves, calling humans foolish. He then considers that to save the Earth he must show humans the result of their foolishness, so he starts a storm of trash from the skies to bury the city, and destroys a power plant, saying that humans wastefully "light the dark and cool the summer." When Eiji tries to stop him, the monster detains him and gives him a magic seal as the "mark of their friendship."

The monster is then attacked by his former mates in Dark Shadow, and forced into becoming a rampaging giant. Eiji uses his meka to fight him without hurting him, but when he shows him the seal of their friendship, the spell triggers and destroys the monster -- he had given the seal to his friend Eiji in case he ever lost control. Eiji is suitably forlorn at having killed his friend.

The epilogue shows that the formerly smart monster is back to being simple-minded. The spell was designed to break Dark Shadow's control of him and make it look like he was destroyed. Eiji tells him to go live in the forest in peace.

Like I said, I thought it was very well done for a story that still managed to fit in a giant robot fight, albeit a short one.

That was my favourite episode of Boukenger, and easily my favourite of that kind of episode from any Super Sentai.

All right, I just completed ZyuRanger. I cannot say anything more beyond what I have already said about this show, but it was great to see it all subbed after 10 years of watching it raw.

Saw the newest episode of Go-Busters. Haven't seen anything else from the series, but I liked the episode.

Dr Kain 01-21-2013 07:10 PM
BTW, did MCS ever sub beyond episode 7 of AbaRanger? I'm going through my files of all of the series before Gobuster and trying to figure out if the group is still working on the series I have that are incomplete, and if not, just deleting the series off of my HDD.

I mean, it seems like only Over-Time, GrownUpsInSpandex, and TV-Nihon are actively working on series.
