Did people think "Hey, I'd like to see more!"? Or did they not care or hate him? That's how business rolls in that manner, especially as there's a chance the reason they're adapting the episode is to try and get Metal Heroes to become a thing as the upcoming Beast Morphers is Go Busters, which had 2 Gavan episodes in them

That's... not really how that works? Mostly in regards to these toku releases, I mean. If a Jiraiya release ever happens, then it will be aimed at the people who actually know who Jiraiya is. There's a reason why the Sentai DVDs are so expensive, because they expect low sales because the market is very, very small in North America.

And again that is IF Jiraiya ever gets a DVD release. Again, if a release would happen, it would be years after a release of Jiraiya on DVD in Japan, which is not looking likely to happen, even with the cameo in Ninninger. Actually now that I think about it everything you said can also be applied directly to the original episode, and even more accurately.

Anyway, the only thing I'm seeing here is purism and whining about like, literal children seeing Jiraiya on TV and not going "Oh my god its that obscure character from a dead franchise that aired during the 80s". This kind of thing is a major problem in this community as a whole, and you ain't helping with my opinion on that like this.
