Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

I wrote a post where I raised my ever-changing opinions on Gougou Sentai Boukenger . Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger  aired in 2023 -- the same year as Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' anniversary . I even felt King-Ohger probably felt that it was going to be that signal that Super Sentai was getting ready to be enshrined at Toei HQ as a museum relic. I decided to revisit the Corona Aurora plot from Power Ranges' Operation Overdrive . It was all because of King-Ohger's 18th episode , where the Founder's Crown was introduced as a plot device. It's a relic of Shugoddom that was introduced sometime later as a moving plot device. Still, I can't get over how the concept was almost from Operation Overdrive . The Battlizer that Kuwagata-Ohger dons (the King Kuwagata-Ohger) may remind some of the Operation Overdrive Battlizer. The difference was that Red Overdrive Ranger merged with Sentinel Knight to create the Battlizer. This Battlizer seems almost unintentional. After all...

Gougou Sentai Boukenger would have a reunion this year, which is something. Yes, Super Sentai is on hiatus, but it can't be denied that somehow, it's still "in the memories". I thought Super Sentai was having a clearance sale , but it turns out that it wasn't. Yes, we're having Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity and it's going to be replaced with Kaikusetsu Omegahorn . I decided to think about how Boukenger was the 30th entry and how my views changed with this series over time. Granted, Super Sentai was just a hobby and blogging is just a hobby, you can't expect me not to shift opinions overtime or shift gears too fast! Personally, I feel Boukenger gets too much credit at times . Sure, I still enjoy it, but it's just that I don't think it's all that great after some time. Infamously, I once used Boukenger to bash out the already unpopular (and probably still is) Power Rangers Operation Overdrive . However, it's no secret that I later la...

  Some time ago, I wrote about why I prefer  Choriki Sentai Ohranger over Power Rangers Zeo . As this year is Gekisou Sentai Carranger's 30th anniversary (and sadly, Yuka Motohashi has joined Thuy Trang so soon after she lost her battle to cancer) -- I wanted to write this one. Sure, I wrote about how Power Rangers is better than Super Sentai for the American audience . Now, I thought about revisiting Carranger and Turbo on one aspect: the LATTER'S NARRATIVE CLUTTER. One of the many reasons why I don't like Power Rangers is the NARRATIVE CLUTTER. Some people may remember how Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers actually had three seasons; Zeo was just a continuation of Mighty Morphin' Season 3 (and it made the teenagers look like they would never graduate until Turbo ). Then of course, there's the really atrocious Power Rangers Turbo movie, which would connect into the TV series. I remember watching that film back in 1998 before I learned about Carranger's existenc...
