Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Episode 4: "Enter the Elephant, PaonMaru!" Discussion
 

The Ninningers learn to channel the power of the Sealing Shurikens!

So is the episode not subbed yet or do people just not care?

Not subbed yet

This episode was a pretty lazy team work episode but Paonmaru was awesome. Next week doesn't seem much better but I'm excited for UFOmaru.

I kinda like how it was more of a "be a sentai" episode.

lots of Sentais, Kyoryuger for example, seem to forget that a core of a sentai series should be about teamwork. it's nice to have an episode where there is a focus on that.

Paomaru is definitely my current favorite. I'm definitely loving the flashy ninjas and their insanity.

Very average "loner learns to work with the team" episode. Not much more to say about it. I need to rewatch the ending, though; I kinda fell asleep during the mech fight.

I hope more of the mechs can have their own transformation like Paonmaru.

but with less CG.

I'm hoping for less CG transformations as well. I have a feeling UFOmaru will be done with a miniature. I'll be very curious to see Bison King in action.

Yea, but the teamwork scene is just plain lazy and slow pace as hell. Any teamwork scene in ToQGer can easily beat that. Also, what are Youkai doing when Takaharu has a looooonnnggg conversation with the rest about food (that food scene may win over the whole Right's colossus appetitie last year :lol ) ?

This episode is an okay. Ninninger isn't really surpass ToQGer about fighting skill but at least there was effort to make the coreteam better. Team finisher, although not a weapon combination, is still cool.

...did Taka ever pay for those eggs?

well, considering it was his grandpa making them, it wouldn't surprise me if their grandpa also owned a food kart for ninja based things.

JESUS ****ING CHRIST!!! Four episodes in and they already gave us a new mecha? How about some freaking pacing!!!??

no. there's no time.

super mode by episode 10.

extra flashy.

Shinkenger, Goseiger and Kyoryuger had a new mecha by episode 5. Gokaiger had one by episode 3 and two by episode 5.

Yes the pacing is ridiculous, but this is nothing out of the ordinary.

That really wasn't new mecha though for Gokaiger. And that show was formed for its gimmicks of past teams.

I could have sworn Kyoryu and Shinken were episode 7. Nevertheless, they haven't even developed the mecha they got in the first episode fully yet. There was no need for another one already.

What happened to Toei proclaiming this show was going to harken back to the Sentai series of the past? So far, I see just as much CGI, if not more, and very little wire fu. Maybe the article was incorrectly translated, but it said they hired new stuntmen so they could have as much wire fu fights as they did back in the 90s, yet, I don't see anything showing such in these episodes.

They never said they wanna do more wire fu and I dont know from what article you got that.

The only thing Takebe said in an interview once was that they were going to do less wire fu and more backflips this season to show what the human body could be capable of.

Yes they were. Regardless of the show's gimmick they had 2 mecha upgrades by episode 5. The same point applies.

Last year, ToQGer had new Ressha in episode 4 (Shield), 5 (Car Carrier), 6 (Tank). I'm not really surprise if they're doing the same with Ninninger, especially with the early appearance of 6th Ranger.

its average
i kinda fell in love with the whit sentai
i like her theme >_>
