I'm sure most of us are, since I don't think many people are too keen on Ninninger.

(And I actually wonder why that hasn't been the basis of a Sentai team already. Though maybe Gaoranger is already like that? I know very little about it.)

I was thinking more of hunting space monsters by using motifs and styles of animals that are good hunters; tigers, wolves, sharks, lions, falcons, animals like that.

Ah. Yeah, that would be cool too.

We few, we happy few.

Fear not, our numbers will grow once the show ends. Tis the nature of fandom.

So while it might work for Juuohger (which I still find unlikely), it clearly doesn't for Kyoryuger as the Kanji is the one for Beast, like in Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger or Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger. Besides, Gun and Beast are not the only uses for the "Jyu" pronunciation. It could also mean the number 10. Which would make Gaoranger the 110 Sentai in theory... which it isn't.
Besides, Toei's puns are usually more... awkward sounding, like with Hurricaneger and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone.

Like all the animals used will be ones that are known as good/effective hunters? They are gun-kings/hunters and they go through space to catch different things. Maybe that is where the space and princess stuff is coming from; we had space pirates for the 35th, what if it is space hunters this time?

Just an idea.

Interesting idea, but I kinda doubt it, considering how safe and traditional the shows after Go-Busters were. I don't think they'll try something that unusual and risky just now...

See the Super Hero Taisen Net Movies. The Japanese title of the book and Movie is "Hari Pota to Kenja no Ishi" xD


Btw. adding to the Gun/Beast discussion: If they would have made a pun on guns, it would be called Denjuu (or even DenjiJuu) Sentai aka "electric gun", not Zyuden, which would read as "gun electric".

Suzu, we're just having fun with puns. Is it probably just a coincidence that the "Jyuden" Sentai transform using "Denjyu?" Yes. But it's a fun one. So please, join us in the land of fun.

(But also... come on, if you think this is different than Toei's other puns you're going to have to come up with a better argument than "it only works when you say it out loud." Cause... that is how most puns work. Especially when the pun is found in the title of a show made for Japanese toddlers who probably can't even read hiragana yet, let alone kanji.)

Um... just because Kyoryuger and Juuouger might on the off chance have used "Jyuu" as a pun doesn't mean that every instance of the franchise using "jyuu" must be a pun.

I've only seen the first three episodes Hurricanger because it's not subbed -- but are there a lot of Harry Potter references in it? If so, that's adorable and makes me want to watch it right away.

Whoo! another gun morpher?

Another question! I'm on a roll lately, huh?

What series should I watch before checking out Akibaranger? I know characters from Jetman, Zyuranger, and Dairanger show up, but do any other characters make appearances? Does it have any large references to other series in particular that I would miss if I haven't seen them?

Speaking of Akibaranger, which parody do you guys prefer? Akibaranger or Carranger?
