[Androzani84]

So basically it’s a common thing in anime seasons where the main villain was defeated in the first season, that the second season has to up the threat level by introducing some new gimmick for the villains, or by making clear that the heroes are woefully inept against the new villains. As En-chan mentioned, we’re introduced to the concept of High Dope, which if Magneira (Megnaura?) is any indication, stands a chance of actually killing the Riders if they’re not careful.

And on that cheerful note, let’s get to the casting thing-y.

Since I can’t think of one thing to put him under, the manager is played by Kenji Akabane, an impressionist who within Toku stood in for Super-One and AR!Faiz in Movie Wars 2010, Jiraiya in Kyuranger vs Space Squad and Gamel in Memory of Heroes. He was also the voice of Mashin Mach in Mashin Sentai Kiramager, by the same producer as W.

And for someone I can categorise…

PreCure-Lert!

Our idol lady Monaco/Megu is voiced by actual singer Machico (I have no idea what her real name is), who had a recurring role in KiraKira Pretty Cure a la Mode, before doing the first EDs for Healin’ Good and Delicious Party, and the OP for Tropical Rouge. Within Tokusatsu, she sang an insert song for King-Ohger, and the one Megu sings in this episode (there were likely pragmatic reasons for casting her)
