My Wild Mass Guesses on Dairanger

Image
Here are my wild mass guesses on one of my favorite series, Dairanger: For Ryou's lineage, I guess his sister Youko (who is not later seen and I assume she was probably living on normally while he does all the fighting) must also possess the right to chi energy.  So I guess if Ryou were disabled or not well, his sister Youko could take over his position. For Kou, I just thought that Noboru Sugimura's love for children may have resulted in the creation of the kid ranger.  Also, it seems to be that the power of the Daos apparently gives child warriors the ability to grow tall when in suit. =P I was disturbed about Zydos' crumbling into dust instead of exploding or dying in an ordinary way.  It's never specified to what happened to the real Zydos or whether or not it was an extension body.

What Could Be the Purpose of Maria's Death in Jetman

Image
Yup here's a lot of tearjerker building up working towards the Jetman finale.  I had my thoughts on why Toshiki Inoue decided to kill Maria and what could be the reason.  So here's what I think... Perhaps it was to be made clear that Radiguet wasn't somebody you can easily mess with.  I mean after all, she did foolishly try to kill Radiguet which she thought was the only thing she can do to atone for all the evil she did while she was Maria.  I really thought that Radiguet showed just how brutal he can be with "If I can't have you, nobody will." So yeah, maybe it's to intensify the Ryu/Radiguet rivalry aside from her wanting to atone for all she did while she was brainwashed and crazy.  Come on, does she have to indulge in so much self pity? My thoughts also went to Rie asking Ryu to forget all about her, to erase her from his heart.  Maybe it was to help Ryu move on and develop or what?  For me, Ryu was too stuck with Rie that it nearly killed ...

Was the Ryu/Kaori Wedding in Jetman Just Totally Random?

Image
I was reading from B'Stard's blog "Them's Fighting Words" about Toshiki Inoue not being good in finales which I agree considering how stupid Faiz's finale really was.  I agree but I would really want to write a defense that even of Ryu and Kaori may not exactly be the best way to end Jetman with a wedding since we could have had Satsuki and Raita instead while the others watch BUT it's definitely not as screwed up as this finale from Kamen Rider Kiva... Hee hee, sorry if I had to post this but this picture cracks me up!  Moving on... Well what makes the situation complicated in the development is this.  Kaori likes Ryu (she never liked that stupid fiance of hers anyway) while Ryu is still loving a shadow in Rie who he doesn't realize is Maria while Gai Yuki likes Kaori.  So complex that it's a love dodecahedron?  Talk about how everything goes when Kaori falls for Gai Yuki eventually (but they broke up and still remained friends) while in an...

Gai Yuki's Death

Image
Well after I've done some entries related to Gai Yuki we do have the bitter fact that we are left with a really so random death.  In fact, we do have the issue that some argued he didn't die (and I was on that side) while others said he did die.  The Manga stated he died but it contradicted the events to the Jetman Encyclopedia which also stated that he died. Why it wasn't so easily acceptable to fans that he died was because it seemed very, very pointless to just kill him that way and the Jetmen didn't notice he was dying.  Sheesh talk about a stupid way to wrap up an otherwise great series!  Okay I can understand that Super Sentai DOES NOT have the superhero invincibility thing going on even if nobody dies.  In fact, we've seen heroes before him die like Daigorou, Kensaku Shiraishi and Mika Koizumi die ahead of him in BATTLE but this one was too different a case.  In fact, I had a hard time accepting he died because of how he died.  I could care ...

Sentai Villains That Died in a One-on-One Confrontation with Various Sentai Rangers

Image
Here's a list of various villains that died on a one-on-one confrontation with various Sentai Rangers. Missed any? Comment! They are: Buuba - Changeman featured the final battle between Change Dragon and Buuba. So Buuba chose to die on Earth rather than let Gozma face him. What better way to do so than to fight his rival Change Dragon to the last?What's so awesome about Buuba is that he not only rejected Gozma's cowardly ways but got to die at the hands of the strong plus he restored Shiima to her true self. Ley Wanda - He was killed by Red Flash in a one on one duel, this is one of Fantasy Leader's favorite duels of all time. Baraba - In Maskman 48, after being pressured by Zeba to defeat the Maskmen or never return, he was eventually killed by Red Mask in a final duel after Oyobur refused to help him. Jarmin - In episode 29, Jarmin was defeated by Black Turbo together with her monster Kuroko Bouma to whatever happened to one, happened to the other. Before ...

Some Things I'd Like to Return in Super Sentai

Image
As a Super Sentai fan, I felt like there are times I switch in between Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Chinese wuxia drama and Japanese drama.  But I'd like to see these things return in Super Sentai: Not having an extra ranger.  Extra rangers are fine but sometimes, I feel like extra rangers get too overrated since the arrival of my favorite Zyuranger, Burai.  It would be nice to have some old school five-man team through and through. I would really want a third team composing of teenagers to save the world again. To be honest, I think most Super Sentai villains lack scariness.  Basco was a refresher for some but he wasn't really that scary, he was more of the cool villain who's an annoying troll to the Gokaigers BUT he really lacks the scary factors that villains like Radiguet possess.  Villains like Zeba, Radiguet and Shaddam should make a return to Super Sentai somehow... that is real complete monsters. Or perhaps heavy drama build up like that of Igam...

Villainous Fathers In Super Sentai

Image
Well we should credit them as well huh? Happy father's day everyone! Emperor Aton is the father of Prince Megiddo. He really didn't care much about his son which led to his downfall. Doctor Man has a biological son named Shuichi and an artificial son called Prince who the audience may have thought was a human being at first. He struggled between his taking over the world and his son who cares about him very much. Gator in Changeman had a family. So glad he was able to reunite with them in the end after he betrayed Bazoo and became good. Shaddam is the father of Kou and Akomaru and a terrible one at it. Really he would even rival his own sons just to get power? How much of a damnable guy is this guy? =(
