[Blade Raider]

I don't think I talked about Gekiranger episodes 10 and 11. Ran gets the Geki Hammer (Why does Japan refer to ball and chain weapons as hammers?). Elephant dude is Master Roshi. I would've much prefered him as the main mentor than the Kitty trying (and failing) to be Mr Miyagi.


Episode 12 (I like Kakuranger, I'll be doing this as I watch):

Belly flop monster. Eh, I kind of remember him in JF. I find him kind of dumb in both.

That's clever, Kitty and the Overlord use a mirrored pharse for training back to back. "In life there is training" vs "in deadly combat there is training." Clearly this Overlord subscribes to the Sayian style of training.

Yay! Elephant Roshi at the bath house. This is gonna be fun!

Is Jan the Leo of Sentai? He can't seem to keep his shirt on.

Towels are magic in this. Okay.

Rio's training is...becoming a Phantom? Okay, it's already more interesting than Wizard anyways.

Black blood. I'm guessing even Japan thought that one was to violent to keep red.

Elephant Roshi is stealing the fly's job this episode. I'm actually okay with this. I think my hate for the fly comes from the fact that he can't move when on screen. Fly can't emote at all while Elephant Roshi (and bath house guy) can at least show some emotion in his reaction shots.

It's settled, Rio needs to be in Wizard. He devours depair. He sure would at least make it less boring.

Boy, I'm making a lot of pot shots at Wizard tonight...

Last shot of the episode includes Rio making insane eyes.

Next time: Bat! He's hoping I can make his nickname as good as easy to remember as Kitty Miyagi and Elephant Roshi because I ain't gonna remember his real name.
