While yellow is a very dominant color in Super Sentai, here are a few seasons together with Kyoryuger that lacked a yellow ranger... First was JAKQ where the first four members are red in Spade Ace, green in Clover King, blue in Diamond Jack and pink in Heart Queen and then the first white ranger in Big One. Battle Fever J lacked a yellow ranger and had an orange ranger instead. Changeman was the next season to have no yellow ranger, instead a female white ranger in the person of Change Mermaid was introduced.

Before I'll do some Super Sentai hero deaths, I'd tackle on my top five lamest Super Sentai villain deaths... 5.) Farrah Cat's death for me in Bioman was simply quite "cheap". She was too easily blasted away by Yellow Four 2 and Pink Five. Okay, somebody could explain it that the Biomen did slash some of her circuits. Again, I guess, it's all about rushed time that her death was made that fast before the final showdown with Doctor Man. I wished that the Biomen used the Super Electron to finish her off but I guess it was all about time constraints. 4.) I would like to raise some questions about Ragorn's death. Seriously while it was an intense final battle but the fact that the second time he grew giant, he was easily blasted away by the Super Turbo Robo. Come on, when he grew giant the first time he couldn't be defeated by the Super Turbo Robo and YET the second time, he was so easily defeated by the same combination? WTF? I guess his armor was w...

Here's something I find adorable from the Zyuranger episode where Lami was stealing children's souls to feed Dora Silkis... this was at the end of it.  Here they are the stuff I find so cute I wish I had them. :) Photos from Orends Range...

I just had my thoughts on Kyoryuger's more unusual color coding where we have red, black, green, blue and pink but no yellow.  Also here's the plot as revealed from Orends Range: Long ago, in the time of the dinosaurs, the earth was invaded by forces from outer space. The only people capable of the stopping them was a team known as the Kyouki Ryu no Sha, the People of the Strong Dragons, or, Kyoryuger for short. Now, in the modern world, they return using the powers of the Beast Batteries to fight off this revived threat. Juuden Sentai Kyoryuger begins this February 17, 2013. Oh wait, I'm turning 28 on that day and I'm still enjoying my availability. :P

As much as I'm not really fond of Gobusters with now its going or maybe its aesthetics don't appeal to me either, I'd like to reveal some of my thoughts on its Power Rangers elements again, another Super Sentai borrowing original ideas from its adaptation Power Rangers.  Now I wonder what ideas will Power Rangers borrow next?  Now here's quite a summary of what i can find... The first three heroes Hiromu, Ryuji and Yoko have civilians superpowers like in Dino Thunder, SPD and Operation Overdrive.  There's super speed for Hiromu, super strength for Ryuji and super jumping for Yoko except there were limits to make them "more realistic" like Hiromu's scared of chickens, Ryuji has a limit in battle and shouldn't overheat or Yoko needs a constant source of sugar.  There's also the tagline "It's Morphin' Time" as well as going helmetless while in spandex which was first done in Go-onger. Takeshi Kuroki would be like General Tr...

I don't know but I seem quite negative with the idea of another Super Hero Taisen movie after seeing the disaster that it was- a "masterpiece" that looked like Spongebob Squarepants' and Patrick Star's messy writing. Producer Shinichiro Shirakura has actually said that the "Super Hero Taisen 2" which he hints it will be something new and different.  Hopefully they'll get a better to carry out the job.  S I do hope they all learned from the disaster that was Super Hero Taisen and hopefully it'll be better.

This is a list that's subject to change a lot.  Now I'll probably just writing this out of being high or something since I normally end up treating Super Sentai these days in a very shallow way. Tokosou Sentai Dekaranger- I'll admit I tend to treat this series superficially out of admiration for Jasmine but I'll just have to talk more about characterization and plot which for now makes it my top favorite newer Super Sentai series.  I just love this series for its cop feel while rightly mixing character flaws and positive traits.  First, the mood of the story is quite different from the typical Super Sentai where instead of a typical monster of the week, it has the criminal of the week to arrest and delete for crimes and there's much of the right mixture of serious to light themes while the big bad is a mysterious villain named Abrella who the Dekarangers are not fully aware existed until later in the series as their main antagonist.  For the Dekarangers, I basica...
