Sean Akizuki's Super Sentai Blog

It's no surprise that Power Rangers Beast Morphers is now on hiatus thanks to Nickelodeon's sloppy scheduling. So what's the point of having a two-season split for Power Rangers? None! With that in mind, I decided to write a new article where I'd talk about the fact that there's no summer break for Super Sentai (and in extension Kamen Rider). While Super Sentai does suffer from some issues such as writer/producer burnout, a mismatched writer/producer tandem (which I think happened during Ninninger) and maybe mixed audience reception (ex. Lupinranger vs. Patranger has lower than expected toy sales while possibly receiving praise from older audiences) but there's really no summer break! Summer in the astronomical point of view (which is based on equinoxes) will occur on June 22, 2019, and end on September 23, 2019. Can you imagine what if Super Sentai decided to take a summer break rather than keep itself going as a yearlong show? It wouldn't be a good thin...

It's last week's series and boy have I gotten a lot of things wrong. I'd say I was really wrong about last week's conclusion. It turns out that there's really some twist and turns that it's somewhat unpredictable. How does it turn out? Well, just thou needest to read on from this point onward! The sisters Cardena and Fita are reunited. However, Melto being the brain that he is (and somehow I can't help but think of Sion from Timeranger in this scene) when he noticeth something suspicious. Cardena mentioneth about the Dino Knights or Kishinryu to Fita. I dunno is writer Junpei Yamaoka a Timeranger fan of sorts? Melto and Sion both have dyed hair and are the brains of the team. There's the invisibility trick. Reptile in Mortal Kombat anyone? I always find the whole "The audience can see us but not the characters." gag somewhat funny. Remember whenever Invisible Girl went invisible yet the audience sees white lines to see where she is ...

The Druidons have flown into space some millions of years ago. It turns out that they have been occupying various planets. This kind of leads to a confusion to what really could've happened. Tankjo once talked about reclaiming the Earth so did they once occupy the Earth? Everything seems murky but let's focus on this episode. The beginning has both Melt and Asuna both having lessons on science. They learn about the body conducting electricity -- which causes the occasional friction and light electric shock against each other. Extra electrons baby! What's amazing is that Tyramigo finally talks probably from watching television. The Ryusoulgers are trying to adjust to this day and age. It's confirmed -- the Ryusoulgers have been around for that long. 200 years? I wonder how slow time is for the Ryusoulgers? 200 is probably merely 20 human years for them. Koh mentioneth that he's actually 209 years old in human years. My wild guess is that a member of the R...

Ever heard of the plot where it says, "Real Life Writes the Plot"? Well, it's already very common and plenty of them has happened. Super Sentai is no exception to the rule. Ever heard of the first Kamen Rider series when Hiroshi Fujioka injured himself during the stunt scenes that they brought in a second Kamen Rider as a result? Super Sentai has had those issues which would result to certain plots happening every now and then. Replacement rangers during the older days of Super Sentai Most of the old school Super Sentai may have had some better story writing (at least for me) but it did have several plots that resulted in writing off certain people. The first time I encountered was the writing off the original Yellow Four namely Mika Koizumi. I can't forget how I saw her die in the rather badly done dub of Bioman. There were many theories behind why Yuki Yajima left -- some say it was pay issues with Japan Action Club (which she worked part-time somewhere else a...
