Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

I am somewhat inspired by Lavender Ranger's entry on destiny or picked.  Now I'd like to show some Sentai groups where the rangers are destined and foretold in some way: Bioman- Their ancestors were scattered with bio particles thus the descendants were picked up to become the new Biomen.  It was their destiny. Turborangers- The rangers were exposed to fairy energies when they were young causing them to become Turborangers in the future. Fivemen- They were destined based on their parentage.  That's just my opinion. Dairangers- They were destined from their lineage. Kakurangers- I think they are destined because they are descendants of ninjas. Gingamen- Being descendants of the Gingamen made then Gingamen. Gogo V- Compared to Lightspeed Rescue, the Sentai counterpart had them apparently destined because of their father's pre-planned decision. Gaoranger- They were destined to be Gaorangers probably based on lineage. Abarangers- ...

As Keiichi Wada makes an appearance next week on a Gai Ikari focused episode (I wish the focus episode was on Capt. Marvelous, why couldn't Gai Ikari meet Gai Yuuki?), it should be fun to see his older photos after Dairanger.  I say he's probably the most bad-ass Sentai red ranger actor yet that Jason David Frank would probably want to learn from him. I just wonder if he's married now and who his wife is if he never got married. Older and now more professional look... Despite him not getting any younger, he still displays some charisma. Hey Shinkengers who wants to challenge him?  I bet the Shinkenger class can learn a lot from him.  Oh, maybe the cast of PR Samurai should enroll in his classes too. With a lot of seniors... too bad I can't identify them all. Just on stage doing a trio Who's with him?  Can anybody comment? He hasn't lost his charm here.  He's got the wackiest shot here.  Only if he and Kenta Satou can show us their moves ag...

Here's a photo of the Gokaiger cast with Georgette Inaba Kaizo aka Mrs. Red Mask in Japan.  Hmmm... she must be enjoying her life.  I wonder what Ryosuke Kaizo is doing as of present?  I was simply upset he never showed up in later Tokusatsu as a guest especially when I wish he guest starred in Shinkenger as Takeru Shiba's father.  It was surely nice of her to show up to have this photo taken.  Let's just hope she rekindles the Super Sentai spirit in Filipino television. The photo was taken by Ryosuke Kaizo so maybe he'll make a guest appearance.  I definitely hope so.

It can't be denied that Don Dogoier's rightfully called "Doc".  Okay I admit he's kinda weird at times but he's a genius- get it?  So here's what I think: He really manages to think of bad-ass weaponry... I have to admit cannons can be old but cliche.  However sometimes cliche weapons are just necessary to win.  

Gokaiger's Ohranger episode seems to be another one of a kind episode of a tribute.  It's sad to know that Earth Defense Force has been wiped out.  Oh my, if Commander Ibuki knew of this, he'd probably show up. To be honest, Changeman and Ohranger share a military theme. So far, I can see the following in it: Gorou Hoshino is as bad-ass as ever.  It could be something that he fights with Basco.  Although his plain failed, he's really bad-ass.  The picture above somewhat makes me think that he's Ichijou's replacement.  Wow.  Now we've got a far better commander!  Masaru Shishido shows his coolness here!  I guess Hiroshi Miyauchi was beyond reach after the Gokaiger movie- or did his character Chief Counselor Miura retire?   Momo Marou is also funny with all the menial tasks to distract the Gokaigers.  She has her loyalties to her leader as she allows her crazy tasks to distract the Gokaigers so her leader Gorou Hoshino can finish w...

Barizorg appears in flashback to be a friend of Joe in the past. They were once comrades who became enemies.  Liveman had that too. Yuusuke, Joh and Megumi also lost their friends who became members of Volt. Like Mazenda, Barizorg became a cyborg too except in Barizorg's case - he was forcibly turned into one. The episode also focused on a plot to turn people into cyborgs. Cliche but powerful. Joe because of his friend Sid having turned into Barizorg is forced but to fight a former comrade.  That's what Liveman was exactly rooted upon friends why are we now enemies after some time? I just think it was appropriate to put Joe Gibken as a blue ranger for that purpose. Megumi Misaki as a blue ranger had a lot of blues to deal with. Blue rangers get blue, get it? As to say it, very good Sentai soap material. It's nice to see Joh Ohara but... I wish he had Yuusuke Amamiya and Megumi Misaki with him. Oh well... his part was written well so that makes up for disappointm...

This is definitely another classic find.  Okay she's in her 40s but still... this picture is amazing. A reunion with Ryosuke Sakamoto.  What's this event?  Too bad she didn't appear in the 199 Hero Battle of Gokaiger.
