Abare Killer NEARLY Killed Super Sentai?!

Image
Granted, this year is Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger's 20th anniversary. Heck, there's even an upcoming 20th-anniversary special fir Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers . I feel both feel weird and I'm not interested in too many reunion specials myself ! Though, Power Rangers has been the guiltier party over Super Sentai in doing the throwbacks too often. This would be a pretty piece of interesting information though. That is one of the best villains in Super Sentai that  may have nearly killed the franchise... FOR STUPID REASONS!  Sometimes, villains end up saving the show. Kosoku Sentai Turboranger crashed with the ratings. Kaiju No Kami mentioned in his review that Turboranger's villains are mostly one-dimensional compared to Yamimaru and Kirika. Chikyu Sentai Fiveman had Chevalier saving the ratings. Just running across this video that says Abare Killer nearly killed Super Sentai is a shocker.  Maybe, that explains his last-minute redemption or the plot twist that some part

The Plot Twist Concerning Haruka Kito And That Pink Rabbit

Image
Last year, we had that on/off pink rabbit (and this Chinese New Year will be the Year of the Rabbit). We have the plagiarist in a bunny suit calling itself Naoki Shiina . The rabbit could copy Haruka Kito PERFECTLY. That's just very funny especially when the Manga is so exactly done. If you haven't watched it then beware... SPOILERS! If not, read on if you either don't mind being spoiled (like me) or if you have seen it. As Donbrothers did wrap up its filming - the plot twist can be too predictable. I remembered some forums where people speculated the identity of the bunny. So, now it's time to think about what could be another writing tool namely time travel and alternate timelines. Yeah, it's a common trope, and Toei Ltd. has been copying tropes from Western comics and animation as well. I'm not even surprised at the turn of events that happened.  There had been wild guesses about the bunny suit. Some speculated it's another version of Donbrothers Haruka.

Toei Ltd. Seems To Have Made Some Unofficial Sequels For Saban Entertainment

I may not like Power Rangers for preferential reasons and  ranted it some time ago . I'm still going to acknowledge that Toei Ltd. has a hand in it, that the blame (if ever) should also go to Toei (not Power Rangers as a franchise) as to why Super Sentai hasn't aired anymore in the Philippines (and ironic that Kamen Rider has been easier to air) or for the licensing fees. Who gave Haim Saban the green light if not Toei? Just watch The Toys That Made Us and see the whole story rather than miss the point. As the 30th anniversary of Power Rangers approaches - I felt like writing this weird rant. It's asking whether or not Toei Ltd. has really been making what almost feels like "unofficial sequels" for Saban Entertainment. Take note that Power Rangers RPM was under the Disney era before Saban bought it back. I still want to call Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters an unofficial sequel to RPM . Since there's no Super Hero Time this week - I felt like writing this mindless ra
