Oh hey haven't commented on the mecha yet. Kept meaning to.

While the orbs are a little distracting (mostly in the legs, it kind of works in the other body parts) I still really like the look of these. It's a vast improvement over the last two years for my tastes at any rate.

Been years since I watched Sentai beyond a couple of episodes, and with Rider having lost me this year... I genuinely want to give this a chance so I'll be tuning into the first few episodes for sure. Don't want to be completely toku-less for a year.

I'd watch that as a sentai show

Jut wondering but reading this thread it seems having 9 characters is pretty huge. But didnt we get that with which had 10 Zyudenryu in Kyoryuger?

[Lalo]

That was 10 rangers little by little throughout the show. This is 9 right off the bat, plus, we're getting more, assuming the show follows the usual "introduce a new ranger later."

See i dont think kyuu here is in reference to 9 i think it is more globe or sphere given the kyuutamas and kyurenoh being ballzy and the fact there are 9 or kyuu rangers. With that the kyuutamas are either translated as orb or globe spirits. I just keep seeing 9ranger and im just not convinced the 9 is the theme over the more prevelant globe/sphere theme.

Are you guys worried that having 9 man Sentai can affect the show's format?

I means those 9 Ranger will be the main Characters but it would require Toei and The Writers give each 9 Ranger their own personality and tried to give their own Episode since Super Sentai is usually episodic than Kamen Rider

And plus why they give everything to Red Ranger when you has 8 other Ranger you could give to beside Red one

I don't want Kyoryuger all over again and thank god Riku Sanjo is taking a break from this!

Really? You're not convinced that a team called Kyuranger, which literally means 9-Ranger and is applied to a team that has nine members from the start for the first time in franchise history, is a reference to the number nine? Really???

You must think the V in GoGoV stands for Victory. And that the Five in Fiveman is just... like... a random assortment of letters that happen to spell out five.

Yeah, seriously, it's just like how Goranger had five guys and Zyuranger had ten.

Wait...

In all seriousness, it's just a cute bit of wordplay. Sentai likes to do that. Olé!

Right, and the cuteness of the wordplay vanishes when you remove the "Kyu = both 9 and sphere" pun.

I'm not saying there won't be extra heroes, I just doubt they'll be full-fledged Kyurangers, if only to preserve Toei's predilection for puns.

I mostly just think it's funny/annoying that people can't take a minute to appreciate this crazy initial lineup. Instead of pondering the implications of nine rangers (an astronomical number of heroes to whom the writers will need to attend), they immediately want to know "what's up with the sixth (by which I actually mean 10th, but our fandom has a really strange way of numbering heroes)?" It's just like, this constant gnawing void that can't be satiated for more than a few days before craving more.
