    Go-Busters Episode 1

    Welcome now to the new series, Go-busters and we back on normal super sentai season without nostalgic elements ala Gokaiger.
    Go-busters in first impression, the motive is a blend between Dekaranger and Shinkenger. Dekaranger for its police-like duty and supporting weapon base, and Shinkenger for its “born to be hero” , predestined heroes fate.
    The ranger/heroes/busters are:
    Hiromu Sakurada, red Buster, his strength is speed. Hiromu description on this first episode are elements of Banban late to come red ranger and Satoru’s responsible leader.
    Ryuji Iwasaki, blue Buster, has a superstrenght. He is the typical Blue, a thinker, strategist, calm member of the team.
    Yoko Usami, Yellow Buster, a mechanic in team, she got tired easily and need .. sweat (glucose) to regained energy. Close description of Yoko are in Sakura feminism but Luka-like tomboyish.
    The Action are awesome. Base team ally design is present once again, they are completely out in Gokaiger. The organizational base team ally (Energy Administration Bureau ) looks very important support now, making the rangers on the field only looks like the “executors”.
    This is the first episode and first time the ranger not get their role call, whoaaha, hope they not abolished the feature. The ranger weapon is now a canon (or Canon) with dslr like lens.
    Villain commander name Enter is a normal human appearances , less fight against foot soldiers. The first time a ground monster and mecha monster fighting and finished simultaneously.
    Light criticism on this first episode only that… the storyline is not the most original ever, especially compare to the high expectation after Gokaiger epic. Ranger suit design is once again didn’t give much the Super Sentai vibe and not the most recommended by me. Henshin moment now got the term “Morphing”, a reference to Power Ranger. It’s awesome but some die hard sentai fans may less thinking that way. The main villains term Messiah also a sic one by using preference to religion term over a children show.
    But now please welcome, Go-Busters!

    Good bye Gokaiger and Go-Buster premiere

    It's a bit sad to say farewell to one of the most awesome tokusatsu show over the history. Gokaiger ended in two all battle episodes. For me, the storyline is less engaging in the finale two, but to reach a climax mega battle between Earth vs Zangyack with less drama but action.

    Gobuster premiere this morning on February 26th, 2012. For outside Japan all detail and excitement only available from TV Asahi official episode trailer or go to this blog : Episode 1 Preview and Episode 2 Preview

    For now, a wallpaper to welcome Go Buster!

    Gokaiger Episode 45 - Ninjaman !

    When Ninjaman excluded from the Legendary War, I was a bit worry and then write a mini article here http://red-white-sentai.blogspot.com/2011/08/forgotten-hero-ninjaman.html . But then in Gokaiger episode 45 , it is explained the reason why Ninjaman was not there. For after the event in Kakuranger, Ninjaman was found overly reacted in "defending the justice" and put into a jar by elderly. It is suggested that this is a purposely acts by the elderly, mainly to "reserve" Ninjaman and excluded him from the Legendary War, so that he can help the next 35th sentai, that is Gokaiger.

    Ninjaman put into the jar and keep safe at a shrine. In Timeranger episode, Timeranger member had activate time-travelling event to protect this shrine from being destroyed. So, it was a great canonical link between all series and clear up some trivial events in Super Sentai canon here.

    Ninjaman is needed by Gokaiger team as the last super sentai power before they can achieved the Greatest Tresure. But Ninjaman still reluctant to surrender his power, in the far sight, Tsuruhime (White Kakuranger) was monitoring the events and seems approved to what Gokaiger and Ninjaman rendesvouz.

    Two pictures from Gokaiger Episode 45, a tribute to Ninjaman.
