Maskman's Two Cannons

Image
Maskman was the first Super Sentai to have a change of equipment.  Here's how it was done: The first was the Shot Bomber weapon.  I could not understand what that freaking backpack was there for but anyway, I did like this weapon's design a lot.  However Kiros was able to destroy this weapon the first time he appeared with the help of his horse which was really an underground monster. The Jet Cannon was made to replace the broken Shot Bomber which I think was well-written despite it being an obvious plot to sell another toy.  I was amazed at this weapon's sleeker design plus it could fly, creating a really cool weapon.  I pretty much enjoyed this weapon in its own way.  Too bad this concept hasn't been used ever since- that is the flying cannon.

Super Sentai Series I've Enjoyed Superficially (Maybe in Part) for the Girls

Special Police Dekaranger asks, "Do you Sean Akizuki plead guilty or not guilty of attempting to flirt with Jasmine?" "GUILTY!!!!" Now moving on, I'll put the Super Sentai series I've enjoyed superficially and I've ranked them by era since as said, flowers wither and flower blooms like soon enough, I'll wither too but some of these older girls may be aging but are still pretty (but not hot, of course time flies!). =P 80s era: Four.  Bioman- I'll plead guilty I had a crush on Hikaru! Three.  Liveman- Despite the season being a deeper series, hee hee Megumi cheers up the dark atmosphere for me!  In fact, I'll confess I find her prettier than Nanami! Two.  Turboranger- Haruna is pretty hot so yeah but the teenagers fighting to save the world theme really appealed to me eventually more than she did! Top one goes to Maskman- It was all for that childish admiration of Momoko I watched the show before as she was just too hot, at leas...

Super Sentai Series I Didn't Enjoy Superficially for the Girls

Image
I will plead guilty I've enjoyed some series superficially for the girls but maybe here are those that I didn't... Chikyu Sentai Fiveman- Okay some boys find the Hoshikawa sisters their type but me, well I enjoyed them for who they are.  I didn't really find Kasumi or Remi really hot, I was more admiring their battle skills even if it's not really spectacular to me.  Or that even in the middle of some burn outs by Hirohisa Soda, the series can't be counted as horrible either after I revisited it. Chojin Sentai Jetman- I'll admit I don't find Ako Hayasaka pretty or anything, in fact I enjoyed this show for its value.  I didn't really even have a crush on Aya back then, my crush was on Ako for who she was pretty much she was my ideal girl though my favorite was Ryu.  For one thing, despite other series having prettier girls, I could not let go of Jetman in my heart as my top Sentai. ^_^ Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger- I don't really find mys...

The Beastnoids of Bioman

Image
I decided to make a post dedicated to one of the biggest "mysteries" in Super Sentai, the Beastnoids.  I really have my thoughts on these guys... Just who are these guys?  Well those who've watched Chodenshi Bioman will automatically remember the fact that the show lacked human-sized monsters that were enlarged, rather these five played as the human sized monster of the week that were sent retreating by the Biomen whenever they were damaged by a Bio Electron move.  There was Messerjuu the birdlike monster with laser powers, Psygorn the three-faced psychic with pyrokinesis, Juuoh the de-facto leader for some reason despite his stupidity who only worked with Monster, Mettlzer the stealth warrior with a lot of deceptive tricks making him Farrah's favorite and Aquagaiger the water warrior who's apparently the least competent.  Psygorn happens to be my personal favorite with how badass he can get or how he really gives the Biomen a lot of trouble. Messerjuu- He i...

Not Sixth Rangers But Still Sixth Members

Image
Well there are members in Super Sentai who became sixth members but not by the right of spandex but as different types of heroes.  Now moving on: Ninjaman in Kakuranger Signalman in Carranger Gosei Knight in Goseiger

The Evolution of the Sixth Ranger?

Image
I haven't done any evolution discussion so far but looks like I'll talk about how it all came about in my point of view in the midst of facts: In Bioman episodes 35-36 it was a two parter involving Shota Yamamori who was a protector of nature who fell in love with Jun Yabuki. In those two episodes, Shota tries to join the Biomen resulting in hilarious results, at the same time teaching kids never to imitate what they see on TV. After he realizes he can't join because he doesn't have ANY bio particles whatsoever, he is dejected. He is fooled by Farrah who turns him into the Magne Warrior (under mind control) to which Jun frees him from. Pretty much brainwashed and crazy. In Maskman, we have X-1 Mask who was pretty much experimental again. This time, he was a senior to the Maskmen and a prototype that Takeru tries to convince them to join but failed to do. He was an anti-hero jerk like Gai Yuki but also in a way emo. Did this guy inspire Burai's creation?

Pink Rangers and Short Shorts?

Image
It seems to be very prevalent for most Super Sentai seasons to have pink rangers and short shorts (I wonder if this is even intentional or just trendy since short shorts don't always appear) though it's not always the case but here's some I've noted: Peggy Matsuyama/Momo Ranger Karen Mizuki/Heart Queen Maria Nagisa/Miss America II Akira Momoi/Denzi Pink
