This show seems to love DekaRanger almost as much as Shinkenger, was Deka as huge in Japan as SPD is here in the US? And how is Deka? I felt SPD was grossly overrated (although Sky is one of my all time favourite Rangers) but I'm kinda intrigued by Deka after this episode, even with that dreadful suit for Doggie, if nothing else for more reasons to stare at Nossan's gorgeous sister. Err...

Given, once again, that SPD was very different to DekaRanger in some crucial areas, it would have been really great to see Super Megaforce tackle this. Given the allusions to Time Force and In Space in SPD, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to have the SPD sent back to the past or to have the Megaforce Rangers sent to the future. .

Wait, is something subbing AbaRanger for real this time?

Naruhisa Arakawa was the head writer for both Gokaiger and Dekaranger. Hence the affinity.

Yup :D

Imagination Station is the group that did the initial sub for ToQger before Overtime took the project on. Now their doing Aba, and they've already released 1-4. According to Victorious Imagination who posts here they've already gotten up to episode 35 done and are going to release them roughly weekly to avoid the curse of the last few groups who couldn't finish the show.

But you have to remember, Sentai is still first and foremost for kids. Yes, I do think the series in the more recent years have gone way too kid friendly (ToQ, Gosei, and Go-On being prime examples), but every Sentai series has had goofiness in them. Some series just balance it better than others.

He also wrote Kuuga*, Akibaranger, and co-wrote Daimajin Kanon. He's kind of my favorite tokusatsu writer ever. Honestly, though, he deserves that title for episode 37 of Dekaranger alone. Everything else is just gravy.


*Before you freak out, Locke, Arakawa Sentai is very, very different from Arakawa Rider.
