Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

This week starts a new arc towards unlocking a new Megazord. The Bugnarok are beginning another rampage at Shugoddom. After Racules' supposed death (though no sign from Masato Yano that he's left the set) - we have a new establishing character moment. After last week's clip show  - we have the turning point as Daigorg does something crazy. Yes, just read on and find out! After Daigorg's rampage on Shugoddom, we see him do something absurd. Daigorg dares to swallow three Shugod souls which makes him grow much bigger than a standard Super Sentai Megazord. We've seen this a lot when some foes are too huge. Fiveman had Vulgyre revealing to be much bigger even than the base robot. Dai Satan in Zyuranger has to be much huger than Daizyujin. Daijinryuu in Dairanger was also that huge that it's freaking terrifying. The Shugods even rattle in fear against this one. I mean, who wouldn't? Kamejim shows up and starts bragging about how Daigorg may soon destroy Shugoddom...

This week's King-Ohger is more of a clip show that bridges to next week's plot. I guess we all do need a breather every now and then. Unlike the Donbrothers clip show episode  - this needs to be watched to get the history of the five kingdoms. It isn't like the new year's clip shows in previous seasons where not watching them is an option. It's time to learn the history of Chikyu's five kingdoms and how the World of King-Ohger came to be. There's also the cast dancing so there's the chance that Racules is still around and we'll see more of the REAL Boshimar's past. Maybe, Boshimar's story will be explored what he was and why Kamejim chose to impersonate him. With Racules dethroned, Daigorg starts a rampage. Man, I just love the raise the fact that Racules is such an idiot. Speaking of Racules, the actor Masato Yano did post his photo with the cast hinting that the character might return as a neutrally-aligned villain. Hopefully, a few Racules...

Finally, I completed  The Secrets of (Idiot) King Racules . I guess this guy's going to be probably that Comically Serious villain that's gonna be a meme lord of sorts. Each episode is around nine minutes long so combining them into one episode forms into a short movie. I guess he's probably become a Breakout Villain so I'm not surprised if he's going to return as a neutrally-aligned villain like many old Super Sentai series. That I'd like has extremely high entertainment value more than the Bugnarok or the King-Ohgers themselves IMHO.  The spin-off gives certain details before the series and between the second and third episodes. The mini-series presents a more scheming side of Racules. Sure, we saw him in his dumbest moment when he made a peace treaty with the Bugnarok. In this one, he's in his more serious, scheming self. He hires Vedalia, a scientist on death row, to help him research more about the history of Shugoddom. We also get to see the origins of...

Last week was practically a turn of events. Racules' inept rule nearly destroyed Shugoddam with a fake peace treaty. Was Racules planning to get all the glory for himself in destroying the Bugnarok? Gira just challenged Racules into a Trial by Combat. We had a previous Trial by Combat way back in episode 8 . Racules was the first to challenge. Now, it's Gira's turn. I just love how this Trial by Combat with modern technology gag works. We've got audiences, paid hacks, and so forth. Not to mention, Shugoddom's media is so pro-Racules that it somehow works! We have a royal wedding going on. Comments from Yanma and Himeno do make sense. Himeno finds the idea disgusting. It's a political marriage after all. Racules only wants more power, honor, and everything that he could. This marriage just ends up comedic more than disgusting in some way. Why does Suzume agree to marry Racules even if it's revealed she's just pretending to swoon over him?  Okay, I think R...
