ToQger Episode 18 "When I Call Your Name" Discussion
 

ToQ 6 has appeared! And so has his storm cloud. But will he stick around for the team?

Will Akira return to the shadows?

The Emperor will try to make him, and Right!

But in the end light of these 6 will dispel the dark.

And a new Ressha arrives! Drill Ressha, Drill Ressha!

Now where the heck is Build Dai Oh?

The emperor will try to make him and Right? Shouldn't it say take?

Make him as in return him to shadows, and Right.

The cuteness in this episode. Toqger knows how to make my heart melt every single week <3

Okay, so this was an awesome episode. The interactions with the main ToQgers and Zaram, and how they changed his name to Nijino Akira was well-done and the fights were again, top-notch.

Excellent episode and still loving that ToQ6 is over-dramatic.

subs are up

The Episode was sooooo incredibly sweet. Akira is just a great character and I just love him for being so overly serious :lol

Best part of this episode? Akira's slow-mo stride as his team mates are fighting the mooks around him.

Wow the phallic imagery of the Drill Express' arrival...

This episode was really great, I liked the way it highlighted how similar Right and Hikari are through their differences, and for such a lovable goof Right can be really badass when he wants to be too - those are the best kind of toku heroes for me, although I'd say Kouta does it better overall and Alata has them both beat by a country mile.

I guess I like that Akira isn't just a generic badass sixth but I'm not a big fan of sentai ramming in comedy where it isn't necessary to be. So although I am enjoying him now, the balance between necessary and unnecessary comedy is dangerously close to tipping in a bad direction for me, so we'll see how it plays over later episodes.

I will say I love his Shadow design, so it's a shame we wont be seeing much of that - if at all - any more. His ToQ suit design is great though too, I love that music that plays when he transforms and how believable the suit actor is as Akira.

I hope Zam becomes more active after seeing a Shadow turning to the light and tries more experiments and comes to some meaningful conclusion
