Well, there was a story called "The Griffin and the Minor Canon" in which a minor canon befriends the last griffin, who came into his village to see a stone representation of himself, in an effort to make sure the griffin didn't eat anyone. The griffin doesn't eat anyone, only eating during the equinox, but the townspeople are still wary of the griffin, and send the minor canon away in order to lure the griffin away. However, the griffin ends up doing the duties of the minor canon in his absence, and reveals to the townsfolk that he planned to eat the minor canon. In the end, the griffin takes the statue of himself into the mountains from whence he came and dies.

Make of that what you will.

Duh. I tend to forget it's only 49. So yes that means we have 3 weeks left.

Geki/Go-On

Yeah. Last time I checked the central cardinal god is Huanglong, a golden dragon. Hmmmmm.

I'm the same way. GekiRanger was the first time I saw him, so I had no idea he was anything important in the Toku world. I even have the Newtype The Live issue where they do a feature on him being in Geki and nothing clicked. In fact, since I hadn't see Geki since it aired, I did not even realize he was in it even when I first watched the Gokaiger vs Gavan movie. It was not until I was going through my Newtype Lives last year when I flipped through the GekiRanger issue and was like, "OMG, that is Gavan's actor!!"
