Yeah. It was originally planned to be used but they gave it to the Lupinrangers instead to capitalize on their increasing popularity.

The casting director was spot on to choose Kousei Yuki to play the role. |

The reason Lupato's toy sales were low is because those toys were really fucking boring and had no relationship to the teams' overarching motifs. (I don't care how many padlock dials you stick on them as an afterthought, jets make NO SENSE for a team of Phantom Thieves.) The reason the plot petered out is because the villains had no concrete agenda or interesting motivation to drive the story forward. All of Lupato's problems can be traced back to those two elements far better than they can this supposed problem of character imbalance. Somehow this notion got stuck in the ear of fandom, and no matter how much distance we get from the original broadcast, people can't seem to disabuse themselves of this unfounded critique. There are plenty of things to criticize Lupato for, but character development was arguably the show's greatest strength. Quote:
Bringing the conversation back to Zenkaiger -- because this is a Zenkaiger thread, afterall -- I think the modular nature of mecha suits is extremely conducive to the half & half swap-out gimmick that's been rumored. Also, they're going to have to build a bunch of mechs anyway -- why would it be any more of a challenge to base them on past mechs as opposed to, like, beetles or whatever? |
Y'know, after all the talk of "Sentai is dying and that's why Saber has Sentai elements transferred over like the RBY riders, the ED and being double billed with another Rider summer movie!!!", I would love a Sentai to be bug-themed to hear the exact opposite claims :lol

The sales have a lot to do with the show, thats why the show was made, to sell toys. If kids hated the show, the toys wouldn't sell. The plot went nowhere and the villains did next to nothing because the writing went nowhere, its was all about style over substance. The toys were also a radical departure, mixing a gun with trigger and dial based vehicles. I thought it was ingenious, but to each his own. I think its odd you talk about making sense in relation to the changer. Kyoryuger used a gun and batteries to change, does that make sense? Sentai is whimsical, they get things to work that normally wouldn't, and have. To say that lupats morphers makes no sense is to ignore their intent. Lupinrangers unlocking their powers, the parangers firing their powers, since cops use guns. Kyoryuger did something similar, mixing guns and batteries, even if everything is covered in dinosaurs, its still guns and batteries, those dont normally go together either. Also, kids don't care what makes sense, they care about how cool something is, that the show its from is cool, and that the toy is fun. The toys were fun in my opinion, but the shows plot was garbage and handled poorly, regardless of its high points and character development. if the storyline isn't head somewhere, everything in it is null. Kids didnt like it and the ones that did favored lupin for the cool factor and motif. I get that many people like pato, i hated red, green and pink were alright. As you said Lupin yellow was generic, i didnt care for her, and lupin blue was cool as was red. The real star for me was x. As mishandled as the plot was, i loved the character and his mecha, his gun was trash but still cool with the allegiance switching gimmick. And the upgrades were also more in number for lupin. Lupin got more spotlight. As for zenkaiger, i orrated my thoughts on the last page. A splitting gimmick would be costly what with all the other joints and the gattai connections. |
Man i hope zenkaigers mecha aren't puny. Relly hate the whole downsizing of mecha in recent years . Hopefully if zenkaioh is the same size as recent mecha, he's chonky and feature filled. With an anniversary season, i hope they pull gokaiger levels of great toys.

Production crew had many options to adapt which sentai they might finalize easily half year for one sentai another half for another sentai as far as kyuranger is concerned it had not done well because only few kyuranger got chracter development and back story in kyuranger imo they could make all rangers robots and aliens not humans they will need only voice actors with all having same backstory back story Zenkaiger having gimmicks like gokaiger and also they have for mecha separately like ranger keys they put in mobirates to transform and in mecha coxkpit they have some key holes where they put a key to transform the gattai, though i think they might have separate this time one type of collectibles with morphers and another type with mecha |

I chose chess pieces because of how jakq works and its formation. Also toei havent done chess pieces as one of its main theme so far. My prediction with zenkaiger got nothing to do with jakq themes. I believed its the only sentai so far to have a core of four members + big one. I dont consider big one as a core member. He's more like a "sixth" like starninger or zyuoh the world. This lead me to speculate what if zenkaiger have been following the same pattern as jakq like what kiramager did with gorenger. Kiramager colour scheme and rank is the same as the gorenger. Chess pieces could work because they could use the past sentai robos or mechas act like a chess pieces during their fight against villains, big or small. Say for an example a blue knight zenkaiger have a set of boukenger mechas at his disposal using the zenkai gears and what have you. He could use it to formed daibouken or mix and match with other vehicular theme sentais like turboranger or kiramager...each chess pieces represent major themes of the super sentais like dinosaur based ss or magical based ss and so on Red - king (daizyujin) - all dinosaurs and prehistoric animals based super sentai Pink - queen (magiking) - all magical/mythological based ss -------- White - bishop (mach) - zenkaiger very own mechas and other mechas that doesnt fit with the other 4 categories -------- Blue - knight (daibouken) - all vehicular based ss Green - rook (gaoking) - all existing animal beast based ss Notice it has the same colour schemes as jakq... So what if this turn out to be wrong? Its just a prediction ^_^ This is too long.... |
