Scroll 49: Mission and Heavenly Ninja
Well gang, here we are. Time for a song to set the mood before we get on with the review.
We open with the Hurricanegers training in the woods with Shurikenger, while the Kasumi Bros watch the unfair advantage… over the Hurricanegers.
Shurikenger admonishes the trio for their sloppiness.
They shook back that they want to, but the Jakanja killed Madame Gozen.
This gets Shurikenger to stop for a moment…
Then Ikkou points out the bad half of the situation (which is already pretty bad).
Then our green weirdo who speaks English goes right back to business.
After the credits, a meteor shower falls to Earth (again), and Tau Zant recounts his summary of the latest prophecy.
Satarakura is ready to actually commence their season long plan.
But, it isn’t that simple.
As Wendinu and Furabijo summarise, he needs to get bigger (you didn’t think this ancient artefact pair was meant to be used solely for robots, did you).
Tau Zant basically says “Sure, why not?” As Satarakura's celebrations get on the nerves of the two space Kunoichi, Tau Zant turns to the real competent minion.
Back at Ninja Base, Hamster Headmaster and Oboro are discussing what to do about their “Jakanja has Nageki no Yumi and Ikari no Ya” problem. And we find out why the Kasumi Bros didn’t lead the others in a full assault on the Centipede long ago.
Oboro then sees a meteor shower incoming and begins deciphering it. Elsewhere, Shurikenger has finished beating the Gouraigers as well and is disappointed.
The Hurricanegers object to his draconian training methods.
(Slight goof here. The word that gets translated as “robots” is “kugutsu”, which more accurately translates as “puppet” and has been subbed as such so far in this series)
This last one seems to get through to Shurikenger...
But he quickly snaps out of it and decides to modify the training. Namely, using the Fire-Ken on them while untransformed.
But they escape this by Shinobi changing, so Shurikenger then pulls a new trick out of his metaphorical hat.
Shurikenger: Chou Ninpo: Soragake!
Hamster Headmaster shares Yosuke’s shock and confusion.
Elsewhere, Satarakura is armed with a new weapon made from Sargain’s leftover data, the Jacuum Gun (the subs spell it “Jakyumu”, but my spelling gets the joke across better), which is designed to suck anger and grief from people.
As Shurikenger finishes defeating all 5 again, he reminisces on how he first became Gozen’s servant (and the words “Kagura Asuka” pop up in the conversation, but the subs don’t pick it up. And since those aren’t words that pop up in everyday Japanese conversation, I’m going out on a limp and saying that that’s Shurikenger’s real name).
Hamster Headmaster seems similarly reminiscent of a random pupil who left them suddenly ten years ago (all of a sudden).
Oboro wonders if this is plot-relevant.
In the city, Satarakura appears and drains a bunch of people.
Among the victims are Nanami’s manager Hase and Yosuke’s still unnamed outside of the credits boss.
The heroes get alerted to the crisis and cut the torture session short. The Gouraigers arrive first and demand that Satarakura return the energy he stole.
They chase him to a quarry, where the Hurricanegers and Shurikenger appear to uneven the odds.
But fortunately for Sata, Tau Zant intervenes for the first time in the series, zapping the heroes down to protect the Jacuum Gun.
And it turns out that when Tau Zant says he won’t let anyone take the Jacuum Gun, he means it.
As the girls react with pity, Sandaaru is somehow shocked that Tau Zant doesn’t give a crap about his minions.
Elsewhere, Oboro has finished deciphering the meteor shower… and has some shocking reveals.
Ikkou and Isshu realise there’s only one way to start (and stop) it.
But wait, there’s more to this prophecy.
Now knowing this, Satarakura decides to have some fun by absorbing some of the energy.
Fun that is not endorsed by Tau Zant, prompting Sandaaru to teleport in there.
Satarakura then unleashes his “Sata Kage Bunshin” technique, defeating the Hurricanegers, Gouraigers and Shurikenger handily.
He then blasts them with the Jacuum Gun, which turns out to be a very good investment.
Then Sandaaru appears and cuts the container off his ally’s back.
He then lets him know, in no uncertain terms, that he’s fired.
Shurikenger then declares that he’s going to avenge Gozen’s death at Sandaaru’s hands, which reassures everyone else that he still cares. But even in Fire Mode, Shurikenger proves no match for Sandaaru’s Uchuu Ninpo: Chosugai (I finally have a name for the giant head attack) and his Hidan Senban Knock is barely able to dent the container with one ball. Sandaaru then finishes his opponent off and rubs his victory in.
As Sandaaru leaves with his ill-gotten gains, everyone crowds around the dying Shurikenger (first Gozen, then the bosses, now Shurikenger. Who’s next to go?)
Shurikenger then shares the memory of when he first became Shurikenger (and we see that the Shuriken Ball was created by Gozen through a flower petal, presumably using the Dark Stone’s power).
This moment then gets interrupted by Satarakura, who survived having his mask broken. (And I kind of wish it hadn’t been right now)
And then it becomes even creepier, as Satarakura + the energy of rage and sorrow - mask = RUN FOR YOUR FRICKIN LIVES!!!!!
Before anyone can do anything to counter this, Shurikenger gets himself up.
He then throws Yosuke his Shuriken Ball and urges them to go on.
As they leave, he summons Tenkuujin and transforms it into robot mode.
Tenkuujin charges through the explosions and grabs onto an unstable (figuratively and literally) Satarakura.
As Tenkuujin is buffeted by the energy being released, Shurikenger gives his last speech (Without hope, without witness, without reward).
Tenkuujin then explodes, taking out Satarakura with it, as everyone mourns Shurikenger’s death. (What is it with Sentai and killing off
Green
Sixths
?
As Furabijo mourns Satarakura’s death, Sandaaru literally swats an angry Wendinu away before presenting the tanker to Tau Zant.
Back with the heroes, Yosuke recaps the situation.
Everyone affirms their commitment to stopping Jakanja as the only ones left who can do so. Yosuke summons Hurricane Hawk so they can make the trip to the Centipede, as the episode ends.
Uchuu Ninja File: Boss Tau Zant: He has a hundred legs like a centipede. I learned something today.
Next time: Tau Zant evolves into his ultimate form while our heroes face the remaining Seven Spears (now down to three). This and more in “Scroll 50: Darkness and the New World”.
Ikkou: Protect the Earth…
Isshu:… Hurricaneger!
Final thoughts: Since this is another three-parter, I’ll reserve full thoughts on the overall plot until the end. But as for this episode, it’s kind of fitting they didn’t reveal who Shurikenger was, even at the end. Because by this point, any kind of reveal they’d do would be really anticlimactic. And Satarakura’s real face, while undeniably incredibly creepy, actually kind of works because of that.
