So I have no idea if this question fits in here but its Sentai Related so I'm going for it. Does anyone know if the DX GaoRanger mecha are compatible with the Wildforce Zords. I remember hearing that the two are nearly Identical and I figured if I'm gunna start hunting them down I might as well know which to get

Eh, we had 10 before so either will do.

Phew, that's pretty tough to answer. Most characters are very close to the actors' real life personalities so it isn't very hard for them to do well at acting. I think one of the best performance during a Sentai series is still Hiroya Matsumoto as Tsubasa in Magiranger. While Tsubasa was a very calm character, his extreme emitions like fear and sadness were outstanding, the best performances being the episode where he used the forbidden magic and the sniping episodes.
If you go by performances after Sentai though, I think Tori Matsusaka aka ShinkenRed deserves the crown for best development. While he could be pretty awkward back in the day, he quickly improved (starting with his awesome performance in Clone Baby). I'm planning to see his newest movie in cinema soon and I'm really looking forward to it.

And if you want amazing acting in both Sentai and after it, Yudai Chiba aka GoseiRed is your man. His performance in Gosei was incredible, as he was able to present a wide range if emotions already. No wonder he's very popular lately. Can't wait to see him in Mr. Maxman!

For myself I was thinking Ikeda Junya who played Gai/Gokai Silver.
Reason he gets my vote is because I felt he was very invested in his role as Gai and I think his best moments that demonstrates this were his second appearance where he had to prove himself as Gokaiger's sixth man, the Dairanger episode, and that scene where he encounters Goushi/Mammoth Ranger. Also the fact that he did his own stunts for the show is definitely a plus which is a rarity until Sano Gaku entered the toku game.
Pick 2 would be Aiba Hiroki who played Ryunosuke/Shinken Blue because I trusted he would do well when he was announced as being one of the heroes, but still worried me since they like to typecast him as the typical handsome/rich playboy.
Thankfully he broke that assumption and delivered as a by-the-book square + comic relief we love as Ryunosuke.
Pick 3 would be Deai Masayuki as Tessai/Kyoryu Gray and Shinya + his suit actor because the subtle mannerism difference between Tessai and Shinya was nice to see.

Is it better for a starting Super Sentai team to have 4 men and a woman or 3 men and 2 women?

Would any of you Super Sentai Fans like to see more 6th Rangers who are Green, Black and White instead of Gold and Silver?

Well, when a thread has 145 pages, it kind of becomes a daunting task to go through them all just for one question.

Red5	11-08-2015 09:59 PM

I mean how it is stated numerous times how gold and silver are overused. The last sixth ranger conversation that was brought up in here mentioned that. It is pretty commonly said in this thread. The comment was more in jest rather than damning for not knowing the ins and outs of the thread.

I would only say it's better to have 4 men and 1 woman because that usually means black and green can be on the same team and I like it when the colors are like that. But of course, it can still be 3 and 2 with a female green or black.

How does the theme and motif work for Super Sentai teams? I mean how do they come up the idea like for example, Ninja, Animals and Shape for Kakuranger? Is there a website where I can research these kind of ideas for Super Sentai themes and motifs?

Note: I apologize if these questions caused a bother

Lol.

I have no idea, but I am pretty sure Bandai has some sort of a say in it so they can design toys around the theme.

They probably assign a producer and writer, then they think of a motif they haven't done/haven't done in a while, and build a story around that. Or it could be as random as throwing a dart at a dart board with ideas written on it, lol. I really don't think there is anywhere to reference for confirmation on how new motifs are chosen, but I could be wrong.

I have two questions.

1. When do you think we'll start getting previews for the next Sentai series? Like suit designs, name, etc? I haven't been in the game long and I don't remember when the Ninninger rumors started

2. Working on a Sentai cosplay, any idea what kind of boots I should use and where to get them?

And hopefully the toys will be smooth and organic-looking like the Gao (and Geki) toys. I want some more organic animals. Goseiger, as much as I like it, was very mechanical, Go-Busters was mechanical, Kyoryuger was rather mechanical and every animal in NinNinja is mechanical.

I prefer my beast bots smooth.

Sounds good to me. When do images and more details usually start showing up?

Edit: thought of another question. Is there anywhere I could read the Jetman manga in English?

Personally, I always went with bootcovers so far. Get a pair of shoes in the color you want to use and create the leg out of fake leather or any other suitable material- it's much cheaper than buying actual boots and you can just pull them over.

(To give you an example, here's a photo of my Yayoi cosplay. The boots are normal court shoes and bootcovers with a gummi strap to fasten them on the shoe and a zipper for the leg)

The "Jyuu" also stands for Animal, it's the same as in Zyuranger, Jyuken Sentai and Zyuden Sentai (even though the romanization varies) :)

The prevailing fan assumption is that Dobutsu Sentai Jyuuohger translates to Animal Sentai BeastKing-ger. There have also been theories that the show will have a "gun" or "bullet"-based gimmick, based on Jyuu meaning "gun" as well as "beast" in Japanese.

Nah its clearly meant to be the Electric Beast Sentai. Since the Juu in Juuden is wirtten with the Kanji 獣 as opposed to 銃 the one thats used for the word gun.

Yeah, but then again, puns are often based on homophones.

Then again again, this is Japanese and I'm used to English puns.

They can be in the japanese language too sure but its much more common that puns like these are done by using the kanji in a different way.

Like with Engine Sentai Go-Onger. Engine is an english word so it should be written in katakana. But its written in kanji as 炎神 which translates to Flame God.

:lolol

Red5	11-11-2015 02:36 PM

So what if we are wrong in our assumptions that it will be like Gaoranger? What if they are hunters that are animal themed? Like all the animals used will be ones that are known as good/effective hunters? They are gun-kings/hunters and they go through space to catch different things. Maybe that is where the space and princess stuff is coming from; we had space pirates for the 35th, what if it is space hunters this time?

Just an idea.

11-11-2015 02:38 PM

I'd be rather interested in watching that, especially if they went with a bounty hunter like idea that incorporated some of the older military bits from the Showa era. The main villain faction can be similar to Timeranger and have fled to Earth, so the rangers, a team of bounty hunters, are put on the job to hunt them down and catch them.

Kamen Rider Lucha

11-11-2015 03:33 PM

Interesting idea, Red5.

I doubt that Toei would encourage animal hunting in a show geared for kids. BUT if we subtly twisted your idea and made the team more like Ash & Co from Pokemon, who collect and have positive relationships with their animals (err--when they're not making them fight for their own amusement, that is), I could see that being a total possibility. (And I actually wonder why that hasn't been the basis of a Sentai team already. Though maybe Gaoranger is already like that? I know very little about it.)

Besides, Gun and Beast are not the only uses for the "Jyu" pronunciation. It could also mean the number 10. Which would make Gaoranger the 110 Sentai in theory... which it isn't.
Besides, Toei's puns are usually more... awkward sounding, like with Hurricaneger and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone.

See the Super Hero Taisen Net Movies. The Japanese title of the book and Movie is "Hari Pota to Kenja no Ishi" xD

Btw. adding to the Gun/Beast discussion: If they would have made a pun on guns, it would be called Denjuu (or even DenjiJuu) Sentai aka "electric gun", not Zyuden, which would read as "gun electric".

(But also... come on, if you think this is different than Toei's other puns you're going to have to come up with a better argument than "it only works when you say it out loud." Cause... that is how most puns work. Especially when the pun is found in the title of a show made for Japanese toddlers who probably can't even read hiragana yet, let alone kanji.)

Um... just because Kyoryuger and Juuouger might on the off chance have used "Jyuu" as a pun doesn't mean that every instance of the franchise using "jyuu" must be a pun.

I've only seen the first three episodes Hurricanger because it's not subbed -- but are there a lot of Harry Potter references in it? If so, that's adorable and makes me want to watch it right away.

Another question! I'm on a roll lately, huh?

What series should I watch before checking out Akibaranger? I know characters from Jetman, Zyuranger, and Dairanger show up, but do any other characters make appearances? Does it have any large references to other series in particular that I would miss if I haven't seen them?

Speaking of Akibaranger, which parody do you guys prefer? Akibaranger or Carranger?
