So Jan being the spawn of Kenji Ohba,doesn't that automatically make him one of the best Reds just by gene pool alone?

Yes. Yes it does.

According to the Power Rangers Wiki (Which also covers Super Sentai), he was only in Geki for 4 episodes.

Yup, I'd say by blood alone Jan has all other Reds beat . It'd be interesting to see Jan meet Battle Kenya, Denji Blue, or Gavan one day.

Anyway, in the imortal words of Uncle from Jackin Chan Adventures "One mooooooore thing~". I'm digging the character song contest endings. Gou is my favorite currently.

I hated those ending themes

And seriously look at Ohba's credits. The man is a toku legend. He was:

Suit Actor for
Kikaider/Jiro
Akaranger
One of the Akumaizer 3
Bibbyun

Actual actor for
Battle Kenya
Denji Blue
Space Sherrif Gavan MANY many times
Shurikengers' human disguise
Dan from Gekiranger

And he was one of the stunt/suit actors for the original Kamen Rider series!

That's Legen, wait for it, dary.

It's crazy to learn that he was a suit/stunt actor for both Akaranger, the first Red ranger, and the original Kamen Rider. That's freaking awesome.

Apparently, he also did his own stunts as Battle Kenya and DenjiBlue.

Indeed. For any character he has ever played he has done all his own stunts. Including his recent appearances as Gavan.

There are a couple really fun episodes of Metalder where Ohba, the main actor from Sharivan and Spielban, and some other veteran stunt actors showed up to get into some crazy action set pieces. It's really neat to see them all getting into crazy fights and stuff.

When I took a look at Sanyo,Long,Mele and Suguu lined up it hit me,they're the Four Symbols.The only reason I know about that is Digimon,but yeah Phoenix,Tiger,Dragon,Tortoise.It just blew my mind when I saw that and now I don't mind Mele being a phoenix anymore.

Rio is a griffin,that doesn't fit into that mythology hmmmmm.

Great episodes though,I really like that we got into Jan's backstory and it was really touching.And his vocabulary didn't bug me at all,in fact it probably added to his emotional scenes much more for me.

So I'm guessing only 2 more weeks of Gekiranger huh?It's gonna be pretty sad to see this show end,but at least I got Vs Boukenger and Go-Onger to look forward to.And also rewatching the Gekiranger Gokaiger episode.

Actually we've got 4. 43-45, 46-48, 49-50, Geki Vs. Go-On.

And I'm not sure who agrees but I think Rio's griffon form is just fugly as hell.

There's only 49 episodes, so I was assuming it'd be 43-45 and then 46-49.

I'm not a fan of Rio's Griffon form. Kurojishi for life!

And if anyone can tell me the significance of Rio's becoming a griffon beyond "Griffons are half lion," I'd love to know.
