Last week's episode was pretty much a surprise or not ? This episode is a Massive Spoiler so you might as well WATCH IT FIRST. Some things are just Walking Spoilers and Racules is probably the biggest one. I even feel that the actor Masato Yano has been working with the producer-writer tandem to get Racules to where he is. This episode shared the same title as the mini-series focused on Racules . Just as I predicted - there's no Christmas special this year. I guess it's a refreshing change of pace. Also, not all Super Sentai had Christmas episodes. The first one to do so was Gosei Sentai Dairanger.  There was no Christmas special for Choriki Sentai Ohranger and Seijuu Sentai Gingaman after that. Then more of them followed and it almost became a yearly tradition. I guess the people of Chikyu don't celebrate the tradition at all!  Should I be surprised that Racules pulled an Iroki ? I thought Iroki was a wicked queen but the episode revealed otherwise. Now, it's Racul...

I guess it's time for another episode. I probably have mixed feelings about how Racules was gone for 13 episodes, returns, and gets missing again. I wonder if it's a Real Life Writes Plot incident with Masato Yano? I assume that Masato has his own busy schedule resulting in him not getting what might be intended screen time. Yet, Masato still stays with the show nonetheless! This episode is a really massive spoiler. So yeah, don't read this until you see the episode. As always, some constructive criticism helps but please watch the episode first! Dugdead's revelation of having created Gira is one thing. The monarchs try to get rid of Dugdead but discover his longevity. I don't want to raise this issue but I'm already reminded of Juuku B-Fighter's Gaohm's big revelation in a way. I think not-so-many may have noticed the small alien that may be piloting a Mini-Mecha. I didn't want to raise it up. It reminds me of some tiny alien criminals in the Men in...

I hoped that the Shugoddom Arc would be more than just one episode. I guess I'm already getting acquainted with King-Ohger's more soap-operatic format now huh? It's very unusual for Super Sentai to do so since the standard formula didn't change much. This week's episode revolves around Shugoddom. Beware! This episode is so full of spoilers and possible half-truths! Watch first before you give me some constructive criticism on where I miss. Otherwise, read at your OWN PERIL! The episode's plot starts with Douga fighting some Bugnarok soldiers. The Bugnarok soldiers are under Dugdead's control. The deposed monarchs are badly injured. Gira does get into some comical idiocy. I wonder though if Ishabana could do a thing about Rita's near-constant migraines? Only Gira shows up. Gira does manage to recover for a reason.  We have a short cameo from Prince. Yes, the same Prince who's from episode 32  and episode 33 . Prince gets transported to Chikyu. Prince ...

I visited some old ideas because of  how King-Ohger went and how it decided to be connected to the World of Kyoryuger . Yes, this is really going to be a peculiar post. It's known that Power Rangers' entries usually belong to what might be called an "expanding universe" (unless said series is said to take place in "some other dimension") - similar to many American pop culture heroes. Toei Ltd. also copied some American pop culture references into their shows like the creation of Japanese Spider-Man or using Robocop in the creation of Jiban and Janperson . Some Power Rangers fans probably still believe that Super Sentai is part of an "expanding universe". I may not like Power Rangers but there was a time I actually believed in a Super Sentai timeline. Hence, we have the guilty pleasure of trying to create a Super Sentai timeline no matter how absurd it gets . Doing so Crates more plotholes than Power Rangers BECAUSE Super Sentai has been around much...

King-Ohger is trying to tie as many episodes in. This reminds me of Dairanger using story arcs such as the Demon Boxer Jin Arc, the Kujaku Arc. the Three Stooges Age, and the Daijinryuu Arc. This episode is a direct continuation of episode 35 . Episode 35 has been very depressing. I wanted to cry hard in episode 35. This episode would show that nothing will be smooth sailing.  I think Yanma's quickly becoming my favorite. I like to imagine Yanma is combining aspects of Billy from Mighty Morphin' and Shoji from Dairanger . Yanma comes up with a brilliant plan to rescue N'Kosopa. Yanma discusses that Chikyu (or Terra) is still surviving because the villains are still fooling around. Bond Villain Stupidity somehow keeps the show going.  Gorma shows up and he's surrounded by Gira and Jeramie. Villains do come prepared more often than not. The only thing that really defeats them is the typical overconfidence they get. Gorma shows off some ninja moves.  The other monarchs are...
