Finally the biggest SOB of Gokaiger has now bit the dust.  One has to admit that he's the worst nuisance villain ever. Last we remembered Basco took over the Gokai Galleon and he was almost unstoppable. However the Gokaigers managed to get even AT LAST. It's an intense battle between former comrades.  After a dramatic battle... Basco finally meets his end.  Oh boy, finally he's down!  Well he got what he deserved.  He seems to be at the same level with Radiguet, Long and Abrella.  There goes my favorite Gokaiger villain! Also there was a cameo from these guys... Well too bad Red Mask didn't make a cameo.  Oh Sho Hayate gained weight that I could barely recognize him but it was nice for them to make a cameo.  But I was disappointed they dint' have an extended role.  :-( What the?  Triforce of Wisdom?  Zelda?  Just kidding.  Looks like the finale is just around the corner.  Can't wait to see ho...

Happy Chinese New Year!  While the heroes brought their treats, so did the villains.  Here are the dragon based villains who's coming to crash your party: Prince Salamandes- The fourth son of Grandienne, demon of fire calamnity.  He started out pretty cute as Drop but he became a monster thanks to Zylpheeza's demise and him inheriting the star gem. Ryuon- He's a man with dragon genes in him from Lemuria.  One of his monsters Talong was based on a Chinese dragon and a master of Feng Shui.  His faction in Boukenger was also dragon-based. Long- He's actually a five headed dragon with all five heads working in unison.  The dragon is the fifth in the Chinese zodiac too.

Henshin Grid provided some very exciting screen shots that could point out to a thrilling drama.  Here are some things that would be a good twist: Captain Marvelous is injured.  Oh my.  How are they going to recover?  I pretty expect a thriller to that.  This fight is pretty personal considering the two had a past. Basco laughs disturbingly as he gets control of the Gokai Galleon.  I wonder if any Sentai seniors will show up to help in the battle.  I guess this will monsterize him and I hope the writers monsterize him so much we'd say yeah after he dies.  So one episode isn't enough to cover the awesome evilness of Basco. Two parter is more like it and I hope he dies an epic death. So Sally has defected from Basco or is it?  Apparently nobody wants to be the pet of a SOB like Basco. Basco's just been monsterized all the more and I'm loving it.

While there were Shinkenger clues, there seems to be Kakuranger clues also.  Here ar they: Ryuu Hoshikawa/Dyna Black- He was a descendant of ninjas and had ninja skills. Haruka/Yellow Mask- She was raised as a ninja and a very tough girl.

Super Sentai before the dawn of Power Rangers in the Philippines was a way of life.  So far, there have been some Tagalog dubs and many of them happen to have gags perhaps so the audience can understand the song. So here are they: In Turboranger episode six, an old man was singing "Anak ng Pasig" (Child of Pasig) in the dub. In Jetman episode 15, Ako Hayasaka in the dub sang "AKO ay Pilipino." (I'm a Filipino)  Pun intended. Well... here's my closing thoughts just for fun. Shinkenger should be dubbed in Filipino and let Genta sing "Si Filimon." to replace whatever Japanese folk song he sang.

Well we had our list of bad cooks, now it's time to see those who can serve food really well.  They are: Raita Ooshi in Jetman showed he could really cook. Kaori Rokumeikan-Tendo- Despite the fact she's a rich girl, she can COOK.  Maybe her butler taught her how to cook. Ryou- He's the best gyoza cook now in Japan as of present. Shouhei Yokkaichi- He makes good ramen and gyoza. Yuusaku Hayakawa- He was able to show his cooking abilities in Megaranger episode 29. Gouki- He is Gingaman's cook. Domon- He is a master in making Soba. Genta Umemori- He has magical fingers.  He even made delicious curry rice himself. Joe Gibken- It's obvious he's a good cook from the start.  Love that time he and Ahim had. Don Dogoier- He's the chef of the Gokai Galleon. Gai Ikari- He later becomes another cook aboard the Gokai Galleon.  He and Genta should open a shop sometime. So I hope everybody has a happy new year!

It's kind of late or is it?  Well I'd like to write my review of Gokaiger 199 Hero Battle, perhaps the most insane Super Sentai movie that would seem to make every other special not so great.  So where do I begin?  The plot is somewhat taking in between the series where the Legend War against Zangyack began.  The war was pretty insane when EVERY ranger in Super Sentai history including those who died (except for Daigorou, Kensaku and Mika) show up to beat up the Zangyacks.  Actually Gai Yuki, Mikoto, Burai, Rio, Melee and Naoto don't have to worry much because they're dead but the living ones do.  They sacrifice their powers resulting to the ghosts returning to the afterlife (I presume) and the loss of the powers of the others.  So the Goseigers can't accept the fact they lost their powers decide to challenge the Gokaigers for their power back. The good: The whole movie was insanely action filled.  The plot was somewhat where the Goseigers an...
