Scroll 41: Medal and Manzai
Well, here we are at my new house. And the place is terrible in pretty much every way (this is my THIRD attempt to write this due to the internet constantly referencing every page when I leave them). It’s the last “monster of the episode” episode and the last episode written by Naoyuki Sakai. With that said, on with the review.
The episode begins with Satarakura crashing into Sandaaru “accidentally” while practising his routine.
However, Sandaaru is as perceptive as Manmarva (I’d hope so, since they’re the same suit actor) and realised that Satarakura has stolen his stone (the one that absorbs anger). However, instead of being mad, Sandaaru has an idea.
At Ninja Base, Oboro and Shurikenger fight over repairs to the Tri-Condor (apparently, the destruction of Astram propelled it all the way to Earth), with Oboro’s insistence on doing it herself causing Shurikenger to leave in frustration. Hamster Headmaster wonders where Kouta is, to which Yosuke and Nanami explain he’s meeting his sister, Meiko (last seen leaving for Africa back in episode 4).
We then cut to Meiko in the cafe. She gets bored of waiting and decides to step out for some air. (Wait for it)
As Kouta rushes to the cafe with Meiko’s passport, he gets stopped when he sees this week’s monster, Manzai Ninja Tsukko-Minna.
The others show up as Kouta Shinobi changes, as Meiko just happens to stumble upon the scene (of course). Then Tsukko-Minna begins his comedy act (which I can’t really describe. Japanese comedy is weird), which blows everyone to the floor (literally).
Tsukko-Minna then blows the Gouraigers down, before Satarakura orders him to withdraw. As Kouta goes to meet with Meiko in the cafe, she drags him out to show him the ninjas she saw earlier (mwa mwa). As luck would have it, not only have the Kasumi Bros not left the scene yet, but they got knocked out of their Shinobi suits in the battle).
Kouta then tries to bluff his way into convincing her he does not know these guys (despite Ikkou calling him by name) and that Meiko was imagining it (which begins to fall apart when she sees the Hurricane Gyro on his arm). He thus changes the subject by handing over her passport and leaving quietly.
At Ninja Base, as Kouta explains things, Hamster Headmaster sums up the situation, while Oboro continues to be confounded by Tri-Condor’s workings (well it was built on another planet).
At the Centipede, Wendinu wonders why Satarakura didn’t kill the Gouraigers when he had the chance. He explains that he has a new plan now, to which Furabijo calls him on his bull.
Luckily, Sandaaru has inherited the position of “Satarakura’s biggest supporter” from Manmarva, telling the others to “just watch”.
Satarakura sends a YouTube poop of himself to Oboro, who directs Yosuke, Nanami, Kouta, Ikkou and Isshu to a stadium (I presume the location was included with the video), where they see a sign on the wall.
Satarakura and Tsukko-Minna appear and begin a Boke and Tsukkomi routine.
Everyone then does their role call, which is observed by a passing through Meiko.
Satars then continue their act.
As they get blown back, Meiko notices something (namely, a Hurricane Gyro) on the Yellow ninja and realises something.
As the heroes are blown back again, Meiko goes over to Kouta and begs to know the truth.
But before Kouta can say anything, they are joined by… Kouta? (I’m sure you can figure out who that’s possible)
Kouta then persuades Meiko to let herself be carried to safety on his back, almost blowing the game in the process.
With the civilians dealt with, Ikkou tells the two wannabe comedians what we’re all probably thinking.
This is exactly what Sandaaru wanted, taking the chance to absorb their anger into the stone.
They are then saved by Kouta, who tells Kouta that he got Kouta’s sister away from Kouta’s battle (I’m as confused as you are).
Kouta then pulls out the Shuriken Ball and in case you’re not convinced he’s HurricaneYellow, he does the Hurricaneger/Ninja Storm pose.
With Shurikenger in the fray, Kouta realised that Tsukko-Minna’s powers come from his hands. After shooting them out, the Hurricanegers and Gouraigers destroy an angry Tsukko-Minna with the Victory Gadget… which just plays into Sandaaru’s plans.
He now has enough anger energy collected to reveal the true form of the stone (note that unlike every other weapon name in this series, “Raging Arrow” is a translation of the Japanese “Ikari no Ya”, which means roughly the same thing)
As the heroes react in shock to this, the villains all have their own exclamations.
As the two villains leave, Tsukko-Minna is grown into a giant by a Dekkamen. Everyone summons their Karakuri Giants, and Oboro announces that she’s fixed Tri-Condor.
She sends Yosuke, Ikkou and Shurikenger new Shinobi Medals, which are used to summon Karakuri Balls 15: TriTsuno, 16: TriKanmuri and 17: TriTsume.
The three combine into the Tri-Condor, which allows Senpuujin, Gouraijin and Tenkuujin to combine into Gingachoetsu Sanjin Gattai TenraiSenpuujin.
Tsukko-Minna tries attacking with his explosive powers… which fail to so much as scratch the robot. Kouta then says what we’re all thinking.
And so, TenraiSenpuujin one-shots Tsukko-Minna with the Zettai Kyukyuku Ougi:
Ultima Storm
.
Later, Kouta sees Meiko off at the airport.
Meiko then gushes about her brother (aw, she’s just so cute) and lets slip that she knows he’s a Hurricaneger.
Everyone is shocked at the revelation… though it doesn’t stop Yosuke and Nanami from blocking the Kuroko-bot from doing his job.
And the episode ends with Meiko waving everyone off (and unofficially welcoming Shurikenger into the family).
Next time: everyone angsts over knowing nothing, while having to contend with both a new Megatagame (not another one) and a new puppet. This and more on Scroll 42: Armour and Raging Arrow.
Yosuke (to Shurikenger): You’re our ally, right? Please tell us!
Final thoughts: If you’d ask me which character of the day I’d like to see come back for another episode, I wouldn’t have said Meiko. But I’m amazed by how well she manages to work as a two episode character despite only being intended for one. Also, that was a pretty good debut for TenraiSenpuujin on TV and I’m looking forward to seeing where the plot with the Raging Arrow medal goes.
Final thoughts on Sakai: He does a lot of good emotional plots and I like his focus on continuity. Though the action scenes do tend to be a bit hit or miss. If I had to recommend an episode, I’d go with episode 6 for the emotion involved in it. Though I’d give episode 10 a close second, which I’ll use this quote summarise why.

Seriously, I loved everything about them back in the days. Wine red and navy blue was definitely a nice choice to give them that darker contrast to the more brightly-colored Hurricangers to indicate they are a different team. I remember the pre-debut rumor at the time saying there will be a evil duo ranger team with unique colors for their costumes, and I was intrigued right off the bat. The end result was me just going "OHMYGODTHEYDIDIT" and just going nuts at how badass they seemed. Good times.
