Super Samurai episode 08 - "Kevin's Choice" discussion
 

You know the drill!

Dekker returns! Yay

Can the Gigazord even move?? I can't say I like the intro it got: at the start of the ep it was "if we try to form it and do it wrong all the zords are toast", and in the end they just popped it right together like they've been doing it since day 1. That made pointing out the chance of destroying all their zords pretty much pointless.

BTW- Mike's phone icon for Kevin: priceless.....

monster eat kevin ;s samuraizer

A fairly decent episode, but typical Samurai mediocrity IMO. It was nice to see Shogun mode again, but now I'm almost certain all its just a fancy 5-second costume to use a special zord attack :(

Shogun mode is just a fancier look for the Mega mode.

I was hopping for more. Heck even casey used the jungle cycle power up up mode thing in a actual fight duing JF. Why not?

Which makes it all the more disappointing given its the best battlizer since....well, ever.

Unless Saban wants to film new fighting footages with the Battlizer, I think they did it so they only need to spend money on reshooting new cockpit scenes. And I think Shogun mode looks like was designed to look great standing and posing, but not when it is requires to do any acrobatic moves because it doesn't seemed like it has good mobility, and that suit probably weights a ton.

So looks like Shogun Mode is pretty much just going to be in the Megazord :(

Yep, that was a really nice touch.

I figured they would have drawn out the building of the gigazord like they did with the black box
