Fake Defector is a common trope in superhero shows. Super Sentai did a couple of Fake Defectors . However, Ishiro Meita aka Shashiro pulls what may have been long overdue. Shashiro's the resident spy. I almost feel like playing the Bass Nova from Austin Powers . Shashiro is also part of the ISA as well. This is pretty much a double-agent plot. To deceive your enemies -- you must first deceive your friends! This has to be the longest fake defection scene in Super Sentai . Most Fake Defectors are usually done to undo the absurd villain plot of the week. This one is so convincing that you'd think Shashiro betrayed them. However, Shashiro's such an expert marksman that he's fired WELL-TIMED shots at his allies. What's with the exaggerated use of guns here? Aya Odagiri in Chojin Sentai Jetman once used a gunshot to get Ryu Tendo back on track. The "devil commander" Ibuki from Dengeki Sentai Changeman often fired a shot during military training -- without the in...

  I really feel Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger is really THAT big of a budget with almost every episode. Last year's Avatar Sentai Donbrothers nor Kikou Sentai Zenkaiger got this festive. I guess Toei probably saw Super Sentai wasn't kicking off by the 45th anniversary. That's why I did have a proposal that Super Sentai could use a hiatus like Kamen Rider did. The big difference was Toei was juggling with several shows for some time. The now-discontinued but never-forgotten Metal Hero franchise was somehow in the way. This new episode shows just how much money Toei is pouring into. Heck, I'm even finding Kamen Rider Gotchard to be given less budget too. I could be wrong but I think a lot of budget from Kamen Rider Geats has been slowly allocated for King-Ohger . Last week's episode had Deboss return but not in completion. Deboss' brave cells haven't sunk in so he can't really cause all the Michael Bay explosions that he wishes to do. Just then Souji gets inju...

It's been two years since the Bugnarok vs. Human conflict ended. What happens next is the arrival of the dreaded Galactainsect King, DugDEAD Dujardin. The surname Dujardin means "from the garden". For some science trivia - maybe some will remember Felix Dujardin the French biologist and cytologist. I think DugDEAD (I'll refer to him as such for punny reasons) is given the Dujardin surname to make him an irony. Dujardin discovered how complex the human cell can be.  The beginning reveals that the Bugnarok Kingdom has been subdued. What truly gets menacing is how Kamejin survived an ULTRAZORD battle of all things. We did have an incident when Dai Satan escaped when Kyukyoku Daizyujin was formed in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger . Col. Major Zydos of the Gorma also survived being crushed by the Heavenly Armor Chi Palace in Gosei Sentai Dairanger . It's sad to see Jeramie who just begun the peace treaty - get crushed.  Something must have happened to get the other monarchs t...
