Zyuohger Episode 16- "The Hunt For Zyumen!" Discussion
 

Nalia takes her turn at the Blood Game, heading to Earth to capture the interfering creatures. But something goes horribly wrong and she picks up Uncle Mario!

Fun episode.

I think Mario is one of the better comedic relief characters we’ve had in Toku lately. While he’s rather silly sometimes, there’s a generally cool character underneath all that. Most importantly, he isn’t defined by his comedic persona, that’s just his hobby. He’s a really nice and kind dude who knows when his costumes are out of place.

This is how you do a comedic character IMO. Not like in Ghost where that freakin’ monk is on crack all the time. He had two rather cool moments in this show so far, two. In 32 episodes.

Anyways, the concept behind Zyuoh TheWorld looks interesting. Genis is forcing three Zyuohmen to give their power to a human… huh. I’m interested to see him in action. The weakest part about him currently is probably that I know he won’t be a bad guy in about two months anymore, but that’s not really fair. I mean I know every butthead secondary Rider will eventually come around, so… I guess I just enjoy Zawardu being evil while it lasts.

And yes ,that’s what I will call him from now on. Zawardu.

Hm, I think I'll use a different spelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DefXS17jZwE]

Goes to show how much I care about memes, Zawarudo it is then.

Memes? JJBA has been around since the late 80s and the anime of the 3rd series (which has Dio summoning The World all the time) is from the mid 90s I think. Before memes. Whatever. I don't think of Dio Brando as a meme. I must be old.

To be fair, the whole ZA WARUDO craze didn't start until the 3rd anime in 2013 (It started in 2012, but I don't think they reached stands until the following year).

Anyway, nice episode. Mario schtick in the beginning, but since this show has made the amazing decision to not force it into every episode, I'm quite fine with it. Mario definitely grew on me as a character, especially with the backstory of him taking care of a young Yamato (Also, we learn that Yamato apparently used to argue frequently with his father. I'm super curious about what happened now). It was rather nice.
Yamato's brief freak out when Mario was kidnapped was nice, too, though I wish it lasted a little longer, it was still short and sweet.

I liked their plan, I liked Genis's plan of finding more Zyumen to merge into TheWorld (Man, I wonder how his design would look if they managed to get 5 :lol), and I liked the monster's little crush on Naria (I would've liked the monster's design if he didn't have that freaky mouth on him).

Nice episode, but I'm a lot more excited for next week's episode. I can't wait~

I'm not watching this show again until Zyuoh World joins the good guys!

It’s too late to edit that shit out and just pretend this never happened, right? Crap.

Anyways, the internet dwellers use "Za Warudo" as a meme since 2003. And I just assumed people know that.

But you're missing the good stuff.

Why? Anti-hero rangers are the coolest!
The Gouraigers, TimeFire, Abarekiller, Dragonranger, etc.
Why stop watching just when the show goes from average/above average to good?

Giving you guys complain how the last 4 Zyuohger episodes was not great because it was a comedic filler.

We really need Anti-Hero ranger for this because I felt most of Zyuohgers are light-hearted peoples and this show was a light-hearted type show

Like for example, the reason of why Gokai Silver was a comic relief because Red Ranger, Blue Ranger and Yellow Ranger are Anti-Heroes.

Pattern

The show with Darker tone? Rub some Comic Relief Sixth Ranger

The show with Lighter tone? Rub some Anti-Hero Sixth Ranger

Easy pieces!

What? Literally only one person complained about the last 4 episodes, and that was Kain, who complains about everything...

Decent episode; didn't really hold my interest as intensely as the last couple, though. It is nice to see Zyuoh TheWorld finally showing up, though, if only because it means an end to the rampant blind speculation that's been filling up Zyuohger threads since the show was announced.

You mean to say you don't love having people asking stuff like which WWE wrestler he might be the most similar to or whether or not he'll join the heroes for the 5th time in a row?

I could happily live without it, yes.

I knew I wasn't the only who calls this guy ZyuohZAWARUDO

Following a couple toku blogs on Tumblr, trust me, Zyuoh ZAWARUDO has been around since his reveal like, 3 months back :lol

I have only seen two Sentai Series completely and those are Shinkenger and Ninninger. Both series's final villains weren't all that impressive. Chimatsuri Doukoku just lay about ranting while Kibaoni Gengetsu just appeared at the last few episodes and then got trashed.

But Genis is just so scary. I mean, for a Sentai villain, he doesn't seem to pull any punches. One of the best final villains in my opinion. Even in this episode, when I thought that Naria would essentially fail in her mission, she didn't. I underestimated how competent she could be. And now Genis has a Zyuohger as a Player for his next Blood Game.

Mario is a cool character but I am a bit more interested in Yamato's father now. And if Kaixabird is not Zyuoh Zawarudom then who is he? And who's side is he on?

If you want some strong villains, check out Gekiranger~

Also, I actually kind of disliked Naria. It seems like a bit of a cheat for her to be hyper competent off screen when all she does otherwise is stand around and distribute continues. Now, the character that has never had a mission prior, accomplishes more than all 3 of the other Generals combined, and we don't even get to see it?

I noticed the cube in Genis' hand was not a hero cube but a smooth flat cube. Which makes me question who is Genis or who does he know because I know they have little info on Zyumen, So how does he have a cube that works like the other hero cubes and how could they have ways to scan for Zyumen with those dousing sticks? Did they get how to scan for Zyumen after somehow gaining info from the main four from the many battles they had or what?

Did anyone else find it disturbing that 3 zyumen were in a noose made by chains and were drained of their power? That was really creepy in my book.

Wait it was a noose? Holy crap

Wow a dark ending to this light-hearted show! :eek:

I am want to know about Yamato's Relationship with his parents especially his father! I'm hopeful this relationship will play important role in later episode!

Mario seem a cool guy to hang out!

Next Episode! The Reign of Zyuoh TheWorld have BEGUN!

The Reign Of Zyuoh TheWorld

They weren't hanging by nooses. They were chained at the torso and suspended from there.

Either way a good chunk of their life was taken away, Yay Evil!!!

I saw one chain that was suspending them in air so it looked like a noose. Regardless, it was still extremely creepy.

Eh, I'm sure they'll just walk it off.

I thought it was a good episode. I was a bit dissapointed by Naria but the flashbacks were nice, and that last scene 0-0

I'm excited for next week episode since it's a Sela focus, but i have the bad feeling all we'll remember about this episode is The World debut XD

Just got around to watching this one, and I liked it. Yamato and Mario's character building were pretty cool, and the set up, I think, was well done. It both set up ZA WARUDO's introduction while still being a good stand alone story.

However, I was caught off guard a little when they just casually called her by her name. At first I wasn't sure if they actually knew who she was, but then I remembered that Naria shows up every time to grow the monster and the monsters all yell "Thank you, Naria!", so they probably would know her.

I agree with you Matrixbeast

Oh come on, there is no need to quit. When DragonRanger, the first Sixth Ranger of Super Sentai, started off as evil, the storyline from it was interesting and I think the storylines for Zyuoh TheWorld will also be interesting as well
