Ninninger Episode 17- "Goodbye, StarNinger!" Discussion
 

Is Kinji leaving already? Feels like he just got here!

please tell me Surfermaru has a theme similar to this

It's such a minor thing, but I love how Red and Gold slashed their copies without hesitation. :lol

I frigging love that song.

Fun fact, Miserlou originated in the Eastern Mediterranean/Levant and means "Egyptian Girl" in Greek, which it borrows from Turkish which IN TURN borrows from the Arabic word for Egypt.

This episode was great, but also sad since Kinji left. I thought it was funny how Kinji was still using American time. I want to know more about Kinji's past now after seeing that wolf yokai in the illusion. I also loved how they finally did a role call with all six together.

wait, so Starninger is GONE? :(

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure they can't get rid of a main character like that so quickly.

Star Ninger will come back and be Izayoi's student :3
BTW this week don't have Drive, so sad.

Seems that way. He never seemed to gel with the others so Star might turn out to be a Sixth Ranger Traitor.


Which we haven't had in years. It could make for some good storytelling.

Interesting. I read this episode as confirmation that Star did gel with the rest of the crew and wouldn't be turning traitor.

I mean, it seems unlikely that he'll be gone forever, especially considering that Surfermaru makes an appearance next episode. (Sidenote: Surfermaru lead to one of the strangest, most unconventional mech battles I've ever seen in Sentai. It is ridiculous and very, very cool.)

Either way, I do believe that StarNinger is going to provide (and has already provided) some unique storytelling... even if I never quite came around to liking him as a character.
