TOKUMEI SENTAI GO-BUSTERS MISSION 20 - “5-WAY FUSION! GREAT GO-BUSTER!”
I gotta leave in, like, 30 minutes, so let’s pretend this post has a Megazord countdown attached to it and spring into action!
Much like last time, I mostly didn’t care about the grand debut of a new toy. Great Go-Buster has all the problems of Go-Buster Oh that I’ve grown to tolerate, but now with the added flaws of being far too bulky to actually move its limbs effectively. Regardless of your thoughts on the suit's appearance, I think we can all agree that making a suit more cumbersome on the performer wearing it is
probably
a negative.
Beyond that, I just thought the main Hiromu story had more on it than the background plot of Jin and the Go-Busters building a new toy? Taking a minute to make the threat of hyperspace more present (
*wink*
) on Hiromu is a nice way of escalating a tension that previously existed as more of an idea. We knew his parents were trapped in hyperspace, but this is the first episode to really define the physical toll it might be taking on them, in addition to the psychological toll of separation. Making Hiromu grapple with that while trying to be the unflappable hero is a fun story to tell near the midpoint of the series.
And the show deals with it well! It’s another story where Hiromu has to learn to stop trying to take everything on by himself and let others help him – the Buster Machine Combination Story specialty – but the little sequence of Hiromu directly confronting what he’s missing made this one eventually work for me. It’s got that specificity that I think can elevate the more trope-y elements (again, very similar to the Go-Buster Oh lesson!) and create something that feels unique enough for the character.
IT’S TIME FOR
a movie!
I assume it’s just a coincidence, but I feel like Enter’s comments about the joy of cinema are at least a little bit shaped by the then-upcoming Go-Busters film…
