Go-Busters Mission 30 discussion "Messiah Shutdown"
 

In this episode Hiromu engages Enter in an epic battle within subspace, while having to come to terms with things he has learned about his parents!

Discuss!

Just watched the raw.

Oh, snap. That was. . .uhm, pretty final.

I kinda figured that the Busters would have a Desperate Choice to make and all that, and it played out pretty much as expected, but it was done really well (like that "Busters Ready Go" was played over the last battle with Messiah and Enter. That's good music to have a final battle with.)

I don't know what they do now, Well, obviously, Gavan Type G shows up for a bit But I suppose there's still a few things yet to tie up, especially as Escape wasn't destroyed

I kinda wish they'd tried to put a bit more weight into the previous 29 episodes before now, and this might have been a bit more dramatic, but it just about worked here.

Enter's Megazord reminded me of WelTal ID from Xenogears:

Everyone who watches via Over_Time, be sure to check out the "Special Improved Operations" subtitles. :D

Did...did GoBusters just prematurely climax?! It was a good episode, not I'm not sure what to make of it.

PS Enter's mech is totally Anubis from ZOE, not kaioken Weltall. :p

So..... what now?

Great episode, don't get me wrong, but what now?

Also, if the alternate O-T subs are the result of late night drinking, we need to start buying them more alcohol.

Well now we get the 2 episode Gavan crossover and then get to finally find out some of the loose ends associated with Jin. Like his body in hyperspace. Really expecting at least Enter to have survived the explosion somehow as rogue data. I see him coming back at leat. I'm still convinced that the show will end early, maybe around episode 40.

Yeah, I can't see tying up all those loose ends taking 20 episodes either. Not unless the series goes the Goseiger route and introduces a new set of villains, perhaps somewhat related to Messiah.

I guess Escape will be coming back at some point since she kinda just disappeared, but I really hope that wasn't the end for Enter either. If he's gone for good, this show is going to have to do more than a Gavan crossover to keep me interested for its remainder. I'd have liked to have seen more of humanoid Messiah too, because it was a pretty good monster design.

Also, SRC Epsilon Megazord now please.

Man, that was an awesome finale. Good action, some nice plot twists, some good emotional beats. Go-Busters really went out on a high.

Wait, there are how many episodes left?

Oh dear.

:p

Having just seen the subs, I have a feeling from his "last" words that Enter's liable to return. He didn't seem appropriately panicked about blowing the hell up.

I imagine he could be like Ultron from Marvel, he can reconstitute himself if even a small fragment of him remains.

I thought it was odd, actually. Escape should've vanished if Messiah's core was destroyed, yet she didn't. So it's safe to say that they didn't truly destroy messiah.

EDIT:
When Enter was charging towards Red Buster in his Megazord, for that final attack did it look like he was taking a dump to anyone else?

I can see it happening one or two ways. One being that Escape contains a dormant backup of Messiah and it will eventually awaken and take control of her. Two being something like Smile Precure, where Pierrot was blown up shortly after reviving, but that just leads to another stage of evolution that will take some time to happen. Or as you mentioned like Ultron or Cell, and regenerating from the smallest fragments.

ghosts of dead monsters is scary

This episode was cool and all, but was anyone else hella bugged that Hiromu's parents clearly said that any humans transported to Hyperspace were absorbed into Messiah, but for some reason Jin is fine? And if they say he's a robot, heads are gonna fly...

I think it's more of whoever Messiah could find. I'm guessing Jin managed to hide himself during Messiah's widespread DNA to Data attack on the researchers and then created his little lab section

That, or he was the only one that managed to get away

The last comment of the episode bugged me, the "Did you have fun?" Line from the support guy...that's not something you ask someone who just came back from an emotional life or death battle that could've gone horribly wrong for the Gobusters

Morishita! He's the one! He is Messiahs final piece in play! I of course called it from the beginning. :lol

That's what his name was?

For some reason, except for commander Kuroki I have trouble remembering the names of the supports.:lol

I don't remember the name of the girl that every one seems to think is the cutest thing ever. I only remember Morishita because he seems to get yelled at the most. And commander Kuroki is a badass, everyone should know him :)

It's a good 2 parter to tight up all the loose ends and concluding the story arc, but let's face it anything's better than the countless filler episodes since ep 1 (although there are some decent ones too). I just don't think the writer has thought things through, the way the story was set up that prevented any noteworthy stuff from happening until the Go-Busters were suddenly thrusted into Hyperspace and destroy Messiah in such speed that contrasted sharply with the 28 episodes to took get there. I dunno.. I'd like to see a bit more development from the cast, a bit more from the Vagrass, something. It all feel pretty rushed.

^OMG this. I was appalled at the blatant insensitivity of such question. Did that guy not know what's gone down at the Hyperspace? At the very least the lack of Hiromu and Yoko's parents, couple with their stern expressions, should have tipped that off that they aren't in the best of moods. If I were Hiromu I would've floor him with a punch. You are talking about kids who were forced to destroy Messiah along with their parents after 13 years of training so they can be rescued. Sheesh.

And it baffles me at how they thought such a line was appropriate, especially because the guy KNOWS just how high steaks the situation was.

I dunno, maybe I'm overreacting to this one line, but it really rubbed me the wrong way. If I were Hiromu, I probably would've punched the guy in the face.

Ok, i finally watched it, so now I'm asking... what now?

Gavan, a blue lion mecha, Enter and/or Escape becoming the main baddy, etc.
Though if I'm gonna be honest, before I saw this episode I forgot about the upcoming Gavan crossover, and half expected for there to be a preview for Kyoryuger at the end. :lol

Has Toei ever just gave up and ended the show half way through? :lol

Decade? LOL

I did not watch Decade, did they really?

Decade was always indented to end at episode 30 to begin with.

Metalder got its episode order cut down. I've heard the same thing happened to Kamen Rider Stronger.

This is true actually. Inoue confirmed it sometime ago in a magazine interview that only 30 episodes were ever planned. It's early ending wasn't really such, seeing as it was intentional. They just didn't plan accordingly for a shorter story.

Just when I thought I couldn't hate Decade more, it turns out that the show never had a plot by design. Well played, Inoue.

It may be short, poorly plotted out, and have a ridiculously ambiguous ending but I still love that damn show.

from what I heard it was made short so that Sentai and Rider didn't both start in February anymore

Finally got around to seeing this episode and I really enjoyed it. Probably one of the best Sentai episodes I've seen since Shinkenger. My only nitpick is Busters Ready Go! didn't play all the way through once it starter.

Was that Overtime? Because I only recall Morishita saying was "Good job." to them in the TV-Nihon version.

Awful, just down right awful. I watched episodes 27-30 today and I no longer have a desire to watch anymore of the show after all. This episode was rushed beyond comprehension, the editing was piss poor, there was no breathing room for the characters, and the "plot twist" was utterly predictable. Not to mention RedBuster took out Messiah off-screen. What was the point of that useless mech Enter was piloting? Oh and the new opening sucks balls. I thought this show was going to have new writers to make it better. So far, it took crap and shoved a stick in its ass to make it crap on a stick.

It's not that good, but it got better after this. Give the show another chance.

Meh, I think the show has gotten A LOT better, its certainly a more engaging watch than Wizard is anyway. But then I thought this episode was great too.

Oh god no, Wizard is not even on the same level as this show. Wizard has been excellent thus far whereas I would rather be watching Goseiger over Gobusters at this point.

I think Wizard has been pretty meh myself. The first couple episode wowed me but since then it's gotten stale already. As for Busters it has improved ALOT. I was one of the most vocal haters of this show up until episode 26. That's when the turn around started and I've been very please ever since. Really love the show now. And yet again Goseiger is a good series. Have you ever even watched the whole thing?

See, I have seen no turn around for Gobusters at all. In fact, my biggest problem is that I just find it down right boring to watch. The rangers are not the least bit interesting, Escape is just there for fanservice, and even Enter became bland. Most importantly, the monsters never seem to pose any threat and are always running away like a minute after they start a battle.

As for Goseiger, I watched a lot of episodes, but I could not stand the ranger cast to watch every one of them. I do think the best episode of the series was the one with the GoseiGreen flashback, because that was a well done episode. Blade Runner (or whatever his actual name was) was kind of a cool villain, but I hated the final episodes to the show as there hardly seemed to be any fight there. He just turned himself into a giant drill machine and that was it.

I just feel different about Gobuster. It finally started to pick up pace when Enter tried forcing Messiahs' evolution. From then on the show finally stopped doing filler arcs and hasn't looked back since.

Well Gosei Green was in episode 3 so that tells me you didn't watch nearly enough :lol It was fantastic from about 15 onward. In the same way that Blade gets better after about 10 episodes. Buredoran (an intentional homage to Blade Runner) was a great villain with many forms throughout the series. He was revealed as the true enemy in the final episodes. And he turned his subordinate headders into the drills, not himself.
