For pete's sake Saban. Some decent editing is all I'm asking for.

The new footage is admittedly the best alternative to making up off handed explanations for "new powers". But man the quality disparity is just too damn noticeable :lol

Looks like I'll be prepping for another rough one this week.

Maybe it's because Youtube doesn't work very well for me, or maybe it's because I've never seen Gokaiger, but I didn't really notice any glaring editing issues. At least not quite to the points of stuff in previous episodes. This has probably been the most impressive standalone clip I've seen so far and I don't even like Wildforce.

That was so very very cool. But why wood the Lion zord hit the Rangers to?
They looked just like the Wild Force Rangers his old team & friends.

Yeah but in the source footage, what the scene is lifted from, he doesn't trust the Gokaigers because they just want him for his Grand Power. It isn't until Doc and Ahim befriend the original Gao Red that Gao Lion recognizes them as heroes. I'm sure a watered down version of this plot point will be present to explain the situation.

Is Cole even in this episode? If not, why? He came back as Juuzo...for some reason.

I think it was mentioned at one point that he didn't want to come back because kids would confuse him for that one villain in Samurai.

Credit where its due, apart from that momentary bit of sloppy editing that was pretty cool. That seriously couldn't have be done to deal with the Dairangers as well?

Oh well.

Maybe his male stripping gig has picked up since :lol

Then why'd he even take that roll? Hell, why would they even GIVE him that roll?

I hope he shouts "Blazing Lion!" :lol

...That's a good question...

I've always found that really odd, like Power Rangers gives the roles to new "talent" and is somewhat to some questionable extent one big universe, so to give the same actor two completely unconnected characters is just really weird. It isn't even a shit on Disney, because as far as I'm aware the first all Disney series was Ninja Storm (which was much better than Wild Force).

It isn't a reference, a nod, it just seems completely random and serves no purpose.
