Captain Shark Reviews Gorenger and Beyond!

[Captain Shark]

We interrupt the standard take on to bring you the Bioman Movie!

Movie:

Noting now there were no subs to this. Some boy runs through the woods being chased by the beastnoids. Cut to the team on a beach having fun with R1 jetskiing. They soon hear the boy as the beastnoids, Monster, and mechaclones soon surround him and he passes out. The heroes show up and transform to fight off the New Gear Empire. Soon the commanders run off after being beaten and the Biomen take the boy to some school. There he screams for his friend, Go, and talks about a scroll he gave the boy. Y4 notices a camera with his name on it in the bushes. After that Mason has his goons throw some boy in a cage with Farrah unwrapping a scroll- yeah its Go. Monster walks in saying he failed and Farrah smacks him very hard. At Bio Base R1 gives their scroll half to Pebo who puts it in the computer. Based on the blueprints on screen some giant space ship from Bio might be hidden in the mountains with Pebo having flashbacks of when he went to Earth. Upon arriving to ancient Japan he got out and did something- I WISH I KNEW JAPANESE! Once the Biomen give their thumbs up they guard scroll boy who talks with R1, agreeing to help find whatever is on the scroll. At Neo-Cloud the villains discuss how to get the other scroll half to which Dr. Man thinks will lead to Bio Base. A mechaclone walks in saying the Biomen are onto them and Dr. Man gets angry. After that scroll boy takes the team to some hills only for the ground to erupt with lava and out comes Crab-Kans. Mason appears saying they're boned with the beastnoids coming out all at once to attack. This allows Metsler to retrieve the other scroll half and run off with Crab-Kans marching at them. Pebo shows up with BR to fight. Once the heroes are picked up and piloting the fight begins. BR's punches prove ineffective against Crab-Kans's armor. The Super Maser is used to execute the something Cutter (I assume Comet) only to flunk. A Bio Robo missile is fired before it flies off. At Bio Base they use a copy of their scroll half to think of a trap. During this Mason directs Monster and Juoh, complete with hard helmets, as they march through the area. We see Pebo BR making a wall of rocks soon after when R1 is told by one of his look out dogs the villains are coming. The Biomen track their progress as they appear unaware and weld G2 in a statue.... Because I do not know. Mason and his crew soon find said statue in a cave and informs Dr. Man who is skeptical. Farrah shows concern.

The villains march with their prize through a construction area unaware the Biomen are following. They take it to the same room Goh is being kept. After antics with Monster and Juoh the villains leave and G2 SOMEHOW unwelds his way out while taking out a couple mechaclones. G2 frees Go and runs unaware Dr. Man is watching. Outside he spots the others with all the villains surrounding them- WHEN WAS THERE MORE THAN ONE FARRAH CAT!? So yeah, a fight ensues and lasts quite a while. Slowly yet surely the Biomen begin to be defeated. R1 barely manages to escape with Go as he jumps off a cliff into a river. Go and scroll boy, named Kenta, manage to see each other soon after with the team following behind. However, when Go asks about the other half and R1 and B3 talk about how Goh shouldn't know they lost it although he diagrees. Go hears them mention Bio Base. Soon after Go tries to steal something and is revealed to be a mechaclone before blowing up. Kenta feels horrible that is only friend was only an enemy and cries in R1's arms. At Neo-Cloud Dr. Man starts laughing at how New Gear almost has its victory before launching mirage fighters to attack a city. The Biomen see this at Bio Base and transform. Pebo launches Bio Dragon and the mirage fighters wait a bit before laser spamming for some reason. During this the villains have the real Go who screams for help. Mason briefly tells him to stop yelling before we see Bio Dragon terminate the mirage fighters and land. The Biomen take their vehicles out, complete with machine guns, and manage to rescue Go before doing their intros and mechaclone destruction. Also the other Farrah Cats are named Cat 1, 2, and 3. Also the beastnoids do their own mock intro with random black smoke. After the grunts fall the beastnoids appear to fight.... Y4 using the holograph to barely trick Juoh was comical. Soon all five use their attacks all at once in an explosive barrage only for bio sword beam surging to counter them. Dr. Man sends out Crab-Kans after thier failure. Once the Biomen enter Bio Dragon it takes off followed by having Bio Jets 1 and 2 become BR once a few mirage fighters are taken out. Wasting no time both titans missile spam before going in close for melee. BR soon uses the Super Maser to execute the Dashing Beam, but it does little. Instead they use the overhead attack which blows Crab-Kans to pieces. Later, Kenta and Go search a cave which leads to Bio Dragon's hanger where the Biomen and Pebo greet them. The movie ends with both boys waving them goodbye.

Crab-Kans: Powers include burrowing, flight, limb withdraw, a back 4-tube missile launcher, thick armor, pincer claws, and explosive eye flashes

Zyuranger finally gets its North American release from Shout! Also being released is part 9!

Episode 25:

At a summer festival there is a noodle eating contest while the Biomen enjoyed shaved ice. At Neo-Cloud Monster and Juoh complain about how stupid the competition is on TV (man that place has good reception). Some kid named Koichi is winning when B3 notes he looks exactly like Prince. The others take note as New Gear soon finds out as well. Dr. Man says that if it is Prince then a birthmark should be on his left wrist. At the noodle eating competition G2 uses his electron scope to indicate Koichi is human. R1 spots Mason in disguise who soon has four mechaclones attack. However, the heroes fight back and try to allow Koichi to escape. This interrupts the competition with some guy in glasses saying he wins. Both sides fight over Koichi before the team manages to ride off with him. The boy demands answers so they pull over at a bridge. He tells them the competition was his chance to find his parents since it was televised all over the country and now he may never know. Blue smoke appears to darken the area with fire balls appearing from nowhere that turn into spirits- is that Dracula? Koichi faints and the heroes find themselves unable to fend off the ghosts- oh wow, Dracula is a perv. Also, I never knew Japan's cyclopses had frog tongues. The team eventually transforms to fight back.... And no effect! Suddenly Metsler and Mason show up to make things worse. R1 throws his bio sword which undoes the illusions. Koichi then wakes up and runs away.

At Neo-Cloud Dr. Man makes a new face for himself and comments about how he imagined Prince would be. Cut to a cafe where Koichi is cleaning tables, unaware the Biomen are watching. They apparently investigated his background and that he was left as a baby. Dr, Man shows up in human disguise walking around with Mason and Metsler watching. In his car Dr. Man uses a phone to call Koichi and tell him the Biomen are keeping him from his real father.... Technically he isn't wrong. He says to meet at a theme park ferris wheel and soon does so. He sees a blemish on his left wrist, confirming it is Prince, and walks off. When the Biomen show up they all follow only for him to disappear. Koichi realizes he was his father and blames the Biomen. Mason throws a dart to take Koichi's watch off, confirming he is Dr. Man's son in front of the Biomen who then transform, tell Koichi to run after saying who they are, give intros, and fight mechaclones. Mason has another graveyard madness illusion occur and fighting the spirits still does not work. B3 uses the super electron ear to spot a mecha giant when Mason and Metsler pop in to fight. The Bio Electron is used so they can use the Bio Electron Beam to stop the illusion. Ghost-Kans starts going on a rampage while R1 calls for Bio Dragon, they jump in, and Bio Jets 1 and 2 become BR. During the fight BR uses Bio Robo Super Missiles from the shoulders to stun Ghost-Kans before finishing him with the Super Maser with the Comet Cut- Oh snap he disappeared! The episode ends with R1 telling Koichi who Dr. Man is, causing massive distrust, and the narrator says his real name is Shiro Go. Next episode shows Shiro getting a letter from his late mother and Dr. Man in a cockpit.

Episode 26:

After a recap of the last episode Shiro says he wants to see his father to stop these horrible things while G2 points out he is a horrible person. He soon runs off to the cafe where he spots a letter on the door. He opens it- Now its Koichi again. Anyway, his mother is the author and it details that he should not meet Dr. Man, rather run away to where she is. He had to abandon him because of how awful Dr. Man is (not stated, but implied). Cut to Neo-Cloud Dr. Man is PO'ed Koichi's mom is alive and sends Masona nd Metsler to prevent the Biomen from learning his true identity. While KJoichi is being escorted Ghost-Kans uses his illusion powers again in his blue haze. Koichi is lead by Y4 and P5 down a manhole as the men barely fend off the spirits, unaware Metsler is following. Y4 follows the map from the letter to a warehouse. The men follow soon after with P5 saying they shouldn't scare them like that. R1 takes the map and leads them to a TV and tape player. They play it with Koichi's mom saying how Dr. Man experimented on himself to make his brain a thousand times better. Dr. Man is shown on the screen experimenting on himslef with his brain glowing thanks to electrodes. Metsler and Mason watch outside as Dr. Man makes notes to himself on how much better he feels over time. He soon finds out his brain capacity allows him to out-calculate computers and that he intends to become a genius. P5 calls him the devil as his hair turns white. The experiment caused him to age rapidly so he replaced his body parts with that of a robot. Ghost-Kans suddenly uses his illusions and Dr. Man, somehow, catches Mason viewing his origin and says he will be punished while cursing Koichi's mom for taking the video tape. Mason announces they will be fighting more ghosts who then appear.

Mason announces New Gear will destroy Tokyo if all of the machinery is not handed over to them and uses the TV to show mirage fighters attacking Tokyo. Dr. Man appears saying Koichi should join him or the attacks continue. He is trying to build a new era with only geniuses leading the strongest of humanity to end the conflicts that plague human history. Koichi denies him being his father and with that Dr. Man realizes he has no successor and orders their extermination. After that the Biomen transform, do their intros, and beat up mechaclones once Koichi runs to safety. The spirits attack and phase through their attacks. The Bio Sword Flash causes them to disappear and after that they use the Bio Electron to use the Miracle Laser on Metsler, Mason runs off and R1 calls BR to fight Ghost-Kans. Once BR picks them up and place them into itself, Ghost-Kans summons a few mecha giants from the past. When punches and the Super Maser don't work, Pebo suggests the Bio Particle Beam. This gets rid of the ghosts and allows the Super Maser to use the Super Flash and Dashing Beam to destroy Ghost-Kans. Dr. Man complains that he still has human parts keeping him down and that he will become a full fledged mecha human. The episode ends with Koichi leaving for the train while saying farewell to the Biomen. Next episode shows the girls in swimsuits and a toy spider emitting webs.

Ghost-Kans: Powers include illusion spawning and an electric rod for the left hand

Episode 27:

Y4 and P5 enjoy time at the beach and notice nobody is around. Suddenly miners pop out of the nearby woods to tell them to get out of their village. Upon walking through the deserted street they notice people closing their doors. Y4 notices a huge spider and starts freaking out because arachnophobia. Cut to a zoo where Metsler tells Farrah that the two women are in the town. After that Y4 decides to grab roller skates and a boombox to tempt the miners and it works with one mentioning a "Lord Spider". P5 sneaks into a building unaware of Farrah watching. P5 finds a blanket and finds a cocoon. A boy asks her to save his dad when his mother tries to stop him. The spider from earlier appears and webs her up. Hikaru throws a lamp at it and reveals it is a robot. She takes the boy, Harou, out when Metsler and Farrah appear with a squad of mechaclones to attack her. Farrah Cat soon joins in and P5 is overwhelmed until Y4 pops in. P5 soon gets webbed up by a mechanical spider with Y4's right arm soon after. Metlser begins his assault when R1 kicks him. G2 and B3 also show up to help while Metsler takes P5. After Harou wakes up he takes them to a cape he says a monster appeared two months ago. Said monster is revealed to be Spider-Kans who released mechanical spiders that gave the villagers orders and prevented them from escaping. Y4 promises his father will be saved while Dr. Man talks about his plan and tells Farrah to keep things going. She also informs him they caught P5. At Bio Base Pebo notes the spider webs are impossible for normal humans to cut and can cause suffocation and starvation. R1 notes that they have P5 hostage and that mechanical spiders will spread throughout Japan. Y4 then goes on about she is a woman warrior and that the men should trust them.... Kind of out of place.

Y4 swings under a bridge mechaclones are on all in slow motion. Dr. Man has Spider-Kans head for Tokyo. Bio Dragons 1 and 2 attack the surrounding village area to draw the villains out as Y4 sneaks around, taking out grunts along the way. She sneaks inside their base where the mechaclones are taking P5 and are ordered to throw her off a cliff. The men note this and he fires anyway despite the others saying to knock it off. R1 tells them to have faith in Y4 and the firing continues. P5 is soon thrown when she suddenly transforms and busts out of the cocoon via explosion. Mechanical spiders surround her and via techno-brace tell Y4 to destroy the main computer that controls them. She does so with one arrow shot and once the Bioman show up together and P5 reveals she had it planned the whole time they do their intros and apply the smack down to the mechaclones. Also Farrah Cat is using two pairs of nunchukus with Y4 and P5 kicking them out of her hands. Metsler enters the fray and receives the Bio Electron attack known as Big Arrow, knocking him out. Farrah calls for Spider-Kans and the Biomen form BR with Bio Jets 1 and 2.... How is he hanging upside down in the SKY? Well if Spider Monger can get away with it- BR goes missile happy and soon uses the Super Maser to fight Spider-Kans although he proves agile. BR uses the Super Flash followed by the Straight Flash which makes Spider-Kans blow up. The episode ends with the Biomen being thanked by Harou and the villagers. Next episode shows close ups of the villains with Dr. Man spinning and a cave with crosses.

Spider-Kans: Powers include levitation, mechanical spiders from the mouth, mouth machine guns and electric webs, and agility

Lost Heroes 2 makes its way to the 3DS! That has nothing to do with part 10!

Episode 28:

In a secret location (a construction site) Mason tells Farrah and Monster he is going to kill Dr. Man. This is because Dr. Man is a human which they vow to exterminate and do not wish to be ruled by. Monster is scared and Mason throws a sword near him to attempt a duel. Cut to Neo-Cloud where a mechaclone is shoved out of the way. Dr. Man is then stabbed by the sword Monster was given and Mason and Farrah kill him with their energy powers. After that the Big Three assume his position and tell their commanders that the humans will all die. The mechaclone from earlier takes a mirage fighter to Japan and three take off after him. Mason is given a note that Mechaclone 1, the escapee, was designed to avenge Dr. Man if anything happened to him and would use a secret weapon. Mason calls him a traitor and the other three mirage fighters shoot him down. The Biomen head toward the crashed location and attack the injured Mechaclone 1. He tells them Dr. Man was murdered as the Big Three, Farrah Cat, and the beastnoids show up proclaiming their new mission. A squad of mechaclones appears and the team transforms. Chaotic battle is chaotic and the beastnoids gain the upper hand. The Big Three put their weapons together to form lightning bombs followed by the Bio Sword countering New Gear. The heroes escape with Mechaclone 1 and the Big Three follow knowing that the secret weapon by Dr. Man would screw them over.

Mechaclone 1 shows the Biomen a secret cave where the weapon is hidden although R1 has doubts. Mechaclone 1 claims he was the very first of his kind and that it is his destiny to help him. P5 tries helping him up and R1 does the same. Psygorn finds an oil trail and the other villains start to follow. The Biomen are eventually lead into a secret room behind a wall where five crosses are. R1 notices something is off and soon the crosses use suction cups on ropes to grab all but R1 who's cross caught Mechaclone 1 instead. Octopus-Kans hangs around outside and the Big Three show up wondering what the hell is happening. Octopus-Kans has the cross with Mechaclone 1 emit a shock that makes him explode. Dr. Man's voice is heard saying that the Big Three killed a duplicate and that he planned for their assassination. The villains are scared and try to run away out of the cave as he taunts them on secret screens. He uses some weird purple lightning to teleport them before announcing to the Biomen that they will suffer before death. R1 tries to think of a way to free the others and Pebo notes Octopus-Kans has his eye flashing which might help them. R1 runs outside and transforms before using his bio sword to set it on fire and throw it into Octopus-Kans's eye. The others are free and Dr. Man throws a fit before they transform. After that R1 summons Bio Dragon, the Biomen jump in, and Bio Jets 1 and 2 become BR. Octopus-Kans proves too squishy for BR's punches so Bio Robo Super Punches are fired followed by the Super Maser to execute the Weighted Attack to blow him to smithereens. At Neo-Cloud Dr. Man proceeds to tortures the Big Three with the beastnoids in terror. Dr. Man then proceeds to erase their memories and make them more loyal than Mecha-clone 1. Next episode shows hurricane force winds and a giant metal ball.

Octopus-Kans: Powers include telepathic electric shock cables, semi-solid armor, and electric shocks from the suction cup hands

Episode 29:

At some building a security guard sees four school boys (middle school?) walking with a cart. He follows them into a room that starts swirling around and teleports him to a jungle. Outside the building a boy complains his brother has not come out and B3 walks by wanting to help. A guard takes the two of them around the building and do not see him. B3 buys him some ice cream and go to a playground where the boy said his brother would take him to an amusement park before smashing the ice cream into B3's face and running off. Cut to some cave where Farrah has a teleporter activate using the four middle school boys from earlier being teleported into the room from earlier. Said boys encounter the younger brother and B3 when Messer Beast and Mason decide to show up. Monster shows up soon after and the school boys turn out to be mechaclones carrying a box containing a black hole bomb. B3 fights them off and Monster man handles him as the bomb is carried off. R1 shows up and kicks Monster into the box, releasing a giant metal ball and the villains running in panic as it starts sucking things. The others show up as well, everyone except B3 is in uniform. R1 uses a rope that everyone latches onto and Monster almost gets sucked in when it suddenly stops. Mason teleports his cohorts out while the Biomen take the bomb. Camera shots show two other black hole bombs in the city. At Bio Base Pebo attempts to experiment with it, causing some fruits and cups to be sucked in. Pebo concludes it needs a lot of electricity to keep functioning. After that B3 goes spelunking on the side of a building, something that was absent from Dynaman. He spots Mason and a few mechaclones working on a black hole bomb when he sees the younger brother from earlier, named Atsushi. He soon catches him in a hallway and tells him to run, but he does not because he wants to save his brother. Soon the boy opens a door where Mason has them both teleported away to where the older brother was, jungle and hills. The others show up in the same room when Pebo tells them he is 500 kilometers away. The Big Three, Farrah Cat and Messer Beast show up to tell B3 and Atsushi that Mount Akano will be teleported into Japan. Jellyfish-Kans will be used to power the electricity required. During this the Biomen use their vehicles to drive over- Wait, WHY NOT USE THE BIO JETS!?

B3 runs with Atsushi to dodge Messer Beast's eye bolts. Monster throws a black hole bomb near him that begins sucking. Gotta love how the trees around him are completely still. Monster and Farrah laugh until B3 uses his tree climbing powers to escape and soon pounce on Messer Beast. However, the Big Three reveal that the older brother is their hostage and demand no resistance. Messer Beasts starts to strangle B3 when his teammates show up to save both of them. Once the brothers run off B3 gives a speech saying how brave Atsushi was and transforms followed by flipping, intros, and mechaclones biting the dust. I like this jungle- err I mean forest fight (far shows make it look jungle-y). B3 duels with Messer Beast and eventually stabs him with his bio sword followed by the Bio Electron being used to activate the Bio Electro Beam on him. B3 tells R1 they have to stop Jellyfish-Kans so Bio Dragon is summoned. Upon landing Monster throws a black hole bomb that causes a fissure and explosions, but it takes off in time. Bio Jets 1 and 2 become BR after lasers are fired and the rest of Jellyfish-Kans's body shows up. Both titans go in with punches flying. BR soon deals with Jellyfish-Kan's head with electric missiles. BR manages to stun him with a Bio Robo Missile from the pelvis and uses the Super Maser to execute the Dashing Beam and Straight Flash to terminate both halves of him. Dr. Man shocks the Big Three for their incompetence and says he will not allow it. The episode ends with both brothers thanking the Biomen before heading to the amusement park. Next episode shows R1 and Monster facing off one on one in medieval Japan garbs and normal appearances.

Jellyfish-Kans: Powers include a levitating head that emits electric shocks and dual hand missile launchers

Episode 30:

Some blacksmithing is done by two men in medieval Japan garbs with the older one thinking the other is worth succeeding him. Cut to a gas station where some girl asks R1 to be his fiance. Everyone is caught by surprise. The girl says that she is doing this only to prevent an arranged marriage. Later the girl, Akiko, turns out to be the daughter of the older blacksmith. His apprentice walks in (it is Monster) and Akiko haas R1 walk in. Both recognize each other while the father complains about R1's red tie which makes her wonder if he's from a pub or nightclub (seriously?). R1 is told to go home when he offers to be his disciple. The father thinks it is a smart idea/ Pebo and Dr. Man soon find out the situation with the latter wanting a very powerful katana because Japan makes the most powerful. Yeah, no, scientifically katanas are very fragile when not used properly so this is full of- The father, R1, and Monster make a sword while Dr. Man says the katana will be used for Mantis-Kans who will be the best mecha giant to date before sending him out. The other Biomen encounter him as he starts shooting at them. During the chase Mantis-Kans manages to trap the heroes in a cave and cause a rock slide with Pebo unable to contact them. Dr. Man says the completion must happen. Meanwhile, Akiko gives Monster some tea and she is distraught by his strength. When only their dog is looking, Monster sprinkles poison and tells R1 about it. He drinks the tea anyway and starts choking, allowing Monster to take the katana and start a rampage. However, R1 catches the katana saying he was onto him. Monster turns into his normal self and reveals he was after the sword, R1 takes off after him with the father saying the sword cannot be used for evil. In the woods the two duel with Monster having the upper hand. Soon R1 manages to disarm Monster, buy Juoh shows up saying Mantis-Kans is waiting for them. Monster grabs the katana and they both run off.

The team busts out of the cave while R1 fights with Juoh, losing badly. Monster joins in instead of, you know, doing his job. Y4 shoots an arrow to save him and R1 transforms after proclaiming he will take the sword back followed by intros and random mechaclones getting beaten up. The others barely handle Juoh while R1 duels with Monster, soon kicking the sword out of his hand. Mantis-Kans shows up, allowing Monster to take the sword toward him and Juoh acting as a shield. The Bio Electron allows them to use the Miracle Laser to stun Juoh, but Monster places the katana on a hill where Mantis-Kans shoots bolts from his eyes that turn it into an kama.... WHAT!? Dr. Man calls it the kamakiri, R1 summons Bio Dragon, they jump in, and Bio Jets 1 and 2 take off to become BR. Both giants march at each other arms swinging with the kamakiri even slicing through the Bio Shield. BR soon throws Mantis-Kans to the ground and uses the Super Maser to execute the Weighted Attack while destroys him. Dr. Man curses the Biomen saying he will have revenge despite Mantis-Kans being his last mecha giant. The episode ends with the father saying R1 can marry Akiko despite him not wanting to. Next episode show a meteor heading for Earth.

Mantis-Kans: Powers include a left arm sickle, dual hip machine guns, and a right arm kama called the kamakiri

 

[Captain Shark]

The second half of Sailor Moon's first series has been made available from Viz! Similarly availability is also available with part 11!

Episode 31:

The girls and Pebo share bunk beds while the men sleep in hammocks. An alarm goes off in Bio Base detecting a meteor of particle-energy is approaching Earth. Pebo claims that this messes up Super Electron technology on Bio before and will do the same. Cut to the beastnoids going on a rampage minus Psygorn. Dr. Man notices the meteor and says today he'll finish their war. The team heads out and faces the beastnoids (this time with Psygorn). Both sides to intros like in the movie and attack. The beastnoids quickly gain the upper hand, but the Biomen use their special abilities to take them down one by one. The villains mention the meteor and Dr. Man announces his new mecha giants starting with Metal Megas who he demands is sent into battle. Soon the Biomen are stunned by the particle-energy and get easily beaten up. Metal Megas shows up and starts shooting both sides. The heroes go back into their civilian form during this. Farrah asks why the beastnoids are targeted too with Dr. Man replying that only a true beastnoid is worth surviving his surprise attack. How heartless.

R1 wakes up and tries to wake up G2. He sees Juoh acting sad nearby and moves G2 who is barely conscious. Juoh spots R1 with Psygorn and Metsler cornering him near a cliff. I should note the beastnoids are busted up. Juoh curses R1 and they all stumble down a hill. Meanwhile, Pebo worries and leaves Bio Base to search for them on his own. Eventually he spots G2 whose left arm is hurt. After that Mason finds R1 at a waterfall and attacks him a bit while Pebo and G2 find B3 followed by the women. Just before Mason lands the finishing blow on R1 the others show up to save him. Pebo announces that the meteor has left. Once the Biomen transform they do intros decimate mechaclones. Mason starts running and Metal Megas shows up for gun barrages. Mason boards the Metal Megas to pilot it and Pebo sends out BR. Metal Megas punches BR around quite easily and the Super Maser breaks in half after using the Weighted Attack. The Biomen start to panic and Metal Megas lifts his face to fire lasers as Mason boasts about his robot is better. The Super Maser is then jammed and thrown into the neck and Mason retreats via mirage fighter. At Bio Base Pebo gives the team a nice salad and orange juice dinner with the others being cheerful they saved R1. Next episode shows Psygorn having new faces and an explosion behind BR.

Metal Megas: Powers include right hand missile guns, reinforced armor, and face lasers

Episode 32:

At Neo-Cloud Psygorn and Metsler show up injured. Dr. Man comments about how the two of them are the only survivors and Monster yells about what happened to Juoh. After that Dr. Man fixes Psygorn with a new series of heads and gives Mason a new body. Cut to BR testing out the now repaired Super Maser to practice new attacks, but the energy is too great and it backfires by surging back. After that Y4 goes biking around town until a car attacks her and drives off with her. Reminds me of that movie, Suepr Hybrid. She sees nobody inside and eventually gets thrown off with it driving away. Y4 chases said car which has a machine gun at the tail pipe. She eventually crashes near a mother a daughter, the latter being hurt. The car comes back and Y4 grabs on. Soon we find out it is Psygorn mentally controlling the ghost car and uses fire balls from one of his mouths called the Psycho Flare to attack her. The ghost car tries running her over when the others show up to stop it. Psygorn and Mason confront the Biomen saying they have been modified once Y4 transforms. Mason fires missiles from his right arm called the Air Mason Missiles and the Bio Electron Beam has no effect on Psygorn. Mason turns his right arm into a machine gun called the Mason Vulcan and fires on them, forcing the Biomen to retreat. Pebo is amazed bio particles don't work on them any more and R1 says they must improve themselves. During this Y4 takes care of the mother and daughter at a doctor's office. Y4 feels bad for the kid since she wanted to be a ballerina as a kid too and the accident might make the child unable to do so. Y4 drives off with the kid with the ghost car following.

The ghost car and Psygorn corner Y4. She runs off and manages to hide in an abandoned building when a mechaclone spots them. The child runs off and reveals her injured leg was a fib because she did not want to do ballet. Y4 asks why and the kid says she was not good at something called En Dedans.... If ballet experts know what that is feel free to say. Y4 says she could not master it either with Mason showing up laughing. Mechaclones surround them with Y4 beating them to a pulp with ballerina twirling. Psygorn shows up to throw her when R1 kicks him. The others show up and the kids makes a run for it- Wait, her name was Maiko? Whatever. Intros happen with Mason and Psygorn doing their things all while ego stroking. Y4 manages to stop the ghost car by firing an arrow at Psygorn's toy car in his hand and crashes the car into him. Dr. Man sends out Ax Megas with Mason as the pilot once more. R1 calls for Bio Dragon, the Biomen jump in, and Bio Jets 1 and 2 become BR. Ax Megas goes head on and R1 has them use a technique called the Super Maser Energy Charge despite Pebo warning it is not ready. BR jumps into the air, encases itself in bio particles from its eyes, an explosion in the back happens, and it spins around in an attack called the Super Maser Bio Particle Cut that destroys Ax Megas. Mason retreats in a mirage fighter while the Biomen celebrate. The episode ends with Y4 teaching Maiko ballerina moves to the music of the Nutcracker. Next episode shows the Biomen training and Metsler being back.

Ax Megas: Powers include an ax right hand, a knife left hand, and the ax megas beam from the eye

Episode 33:

Pebo has the Biomen exposed to Super High Energy to take up more bio particles. They become riddled with pain and soon the experiment stops. The narrator explains that this is necessary due to recent beastnoid power ups with Pebo going on about how they need to be stronger physically and mentally. Cut to the heroes swinging on ropes and running, divided by men and women. After the men jump down from a 20+ meter cliff, the women run through a minefield and succeed.... I don't even. Meanwhile, Farrah uses a new attack called the Farrah Beam Storm from her mouth to wreak havoc. The Biomen show up noticing she was upgraded too along with Metsler- Oh lord, torpedo boobs, so Masami Obari did NOT start that style after all. Anyway, Metsler demonstrates arm stretching powers with knocks the team around. After that he uses a new eye beam to knock them down so R1 suggests using the Super Electron despite not testing the super high energy. The Super Electron has them ramming into Metsler which has no effect so they run. Dr. Man laughs, but is aware of they are powering up. At Bio Base G2 took the most serious injuries and x-rays reveal old wounds that placed his life in jeopardy. He walks off with the others following him to a high school. There G2 asks his old baseball coach to train him again, but he refuses because G2 originally quite due to extreme training and even quit in the middle of a game. G2 reveals he got badly hurt as a kid and now he needs training to regain faith and runs to the field.

That night training begins, G2 catches balls his coach bats to him. At first it was R1 doing it in the guise of darkness, but then G2's coach starts doing it himself. G2 thinks to himself his old wounds are nothing. That morning G2 wakes up exhausted with the other congratulating him. Later, Skeleton Megas appears and spews black gas everywhere. Pebo informs the Biomena nd they transform. After traveling with their vehicles the Biomen do their intros and fight Farrah's squad.... At a water park? Farrah fires energy daggers from her mouth called the Farrah Kiss and Metsler joins in, easily wiping the floor with them. After that the Super Electron is used with the Biomen jumping into the air and doing an energy ram again- Oh wow, no effect again. G2 feels horrible until Metsler starts feeling pain and Farrah teleports off with him and Farrah Cat. R1 and the others thank G2 while Dr. Man complains and says Skeleton Megas will slay them. Farrah takes control of Skeleton Megas and uses his right arm to swipe them. Pebo launches BR who picks them up and places them in himself. Skeleton Megas proves too strong for the Bio Robo Missile sot he Super Maser is used to emit a surge, also ineffective. The Energy Charge is used to execute the Bio Particle Cut which destroys Skeleton Megas while Farrah escapes in a mirage fighter. The episode ends with the Biomen training. Next episode shows Juoh and Monster being back and everyone getting injured.

Skeleton Megas: Powers include a left arm shield, black poison gas from the mouth, and eye beams

Opinions will come next time! Hopefully so will GUIS rising from the dead.

Spider-Man will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe! While fans celebrate here is part 12!

Episode 34:

The Super Electrom optimizing experiment continues from last time with G2 being tested. Eventually the new suit is completed at the cost of lab consoles exploding. The others rush to G2's aid who says it is ready. However, Pebo is lost and G2 says he might be in pieces. Cut to some boy in glasses looking through a telescope. In a garage he spots Pebo making balloons as he claims he is an alien (well he is right). Pebo does not remember where he is so he runs off and tries using the balloons to go into space. The boy says he is weird and Pebo cries about wanting to go home. The boy says he will help and the next day uses a UFO transceiver in a field. Pebo trips over junk which turns out to be Juoh's head. After that we see Monster collecting Juoh's pieces and spots Pebo. R1 spots this and interferes. R1 throws Juoh's head to keep Monster distracted. At Neo-Cloud Farrah scolds Monster for not saying something sooner and Dr. Man sends Mason and Psygorn to find Pebo. Monster begs Dr. Man to repair Juoh and he says he'll do so out of admiration. At an observatory the Biomen talk about how Pebo lost his memory and how Bio is gone. Pebo begs the boy to call a UFO when thhe robot is dragged outside by Psygorn. As Pebo runs off the Biomen face off against Mason and Psygorn after transforming. However, the suits explode and they return to their civilian forms. Mason uses the Mason Vulcan- HOW ARE THEY NOT DEAD THAT WAS A DIRECT SHOT. Anyway, at the field the boy tries contacting a UFO. Pebo sees something shining which turn out to be Monster and Juoh, now repaired. Juoh tries grabbing Pebo, but flunks becuase he is on a hill. Monster tells Mason to leave it to them. Monster reveals a new mace, knife, and fist while Juoh has more rocket launchers in his torso. Mason tells his crew to let Monster handle it as he literally smacks the heroes around.

The team easily goes down from the new attacks- THOSE ROCKETS SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU. During this Pebo quickly regains his memories. Just as Juoh fires another missile barrage the Biomen start glowing their respective colors- wait why is P5 purple? Pebo says they are bio-particles and they all feel powered up in slow motion, allowing them to use their suits again. Upon transforming come the intros and Monster firing finger beams to no avail. The Super Electron is used once more as they rocket into the air, emit gold dust, and ram into Juoh with enough force to send him flying. After that they do a slow motion run to Pebo in victory. Super Electron is hailed because naming is weird in this series and Wrestler Megas shows up with Monster piloting it saying he will crush the Biomen. R1 calls for Bio Dragon, they jump in, and Bio Jets 1 and 2 form BR. Wrestler Megas sizes up before using a karate chop followed by a super punch called the Western Goliath. Wrestler Megas goes all out until it accidentally busts a knee while executing a knee drop and BR destroys him via the Super Maser executing the Bio Particle Cut. Likewise Monster escapes in a mirage fighter. The episode ends with Pebo and the boy looking at Bio Dragon as it lands with the robot wishing him a goodbye. The Biomen feel bad about lying to the boy although they still do waves goodbye. Next episode shows a wild-man attacking the men.

Wrestler Megas: Powers incude strength and dual shoulder horns

Episode 35:

Mechaclones set off dynamite and dig for something. One finds a stone that shocks him. Dr. Man explains it is a Magne meteorite that crashed into the Nekure Mountains long ago. The metal is supposed to be more powerful than any earth metal and Dr. Man wants to make a Megas out of it with magnetic properties named Magne Megas. The Biomen find out rumors of New Gear's activities.... Somehow and start digging. Suddenly a screaming wild-man appears to attack who looks sort of like Bruce Lee. Wild-man complains about how they are disturbing the graves of a racoon family and easily beats up the men. A pigeon shows up and says New Gear is nearby so they hightail it. However, wild-man stops them saying he can control animals better so he summons lots of forest critters. R1 wonders to himself if he has Bio blood. Y4 soon tosses him after trying to grab her. Wild-man complains about losing to a girl. After that the team spots Mason's squad digging. Y4 tries silencing wild-man, but fails as they are both spotted by Mason and Metsler. Wild-man flunks at fighting them and Y4 tries saving him. Mechaclones fire- WHY ARE THEY INACCURATE!? She transforms and wild-man is impressed with the others jumping in soon after. G2 is stunned by the magne he tries to pick up and Mason fires missiles. Wild-man cheers on Y4 while day dreaming of her. Mason claims he will defeat the heroes before teleporting off. At wild-man's home he makes them some rice he made himself although he only serves Y4. Wild-man says his name his Shota Yamamori and that he grew up in the mountaisn so he protects them from people that take advantage of the enviornment. He asks to join the Biomen, but they refuse even though R1 thinks he might have Bio blood. Meanwhile, Pebo discovers that Magne is extremely dangerous for their bio computers so the Biomen run off with Shota following.

The Biomen patrol in Bio Jets 1 and 2 while New Gear tests out Magne on a mechaclone that makes him coal black and strong enough to resist Mason's vulcan gun. Farrah Cat waltzes in saying the Biomen are close with Mason commenting about how they will burn in hell. Metsler makes a mirage of a bridge to trick G2, B3, and Y4, but Shota slingshots Metsler to reveal his trick. R1 and P5 show up along with a garrison of mechaclones. After this are the intros and grunt slaughter with Shota doing his own intro. I won't lie, I find this guy awesome even though he flunks horribly at fighting mechaclones.... Which now establish they are tough again! Do mechaclones just have a serious weakness against arrows and power tools? Anyway, Shota throws a rock on Metsler.... Which knocks him out! However, Mason shoots at his feet and forces Shota off a cliff. After Y4 thunder sword's Metsler the Super Electron throws him afar while Mason pilots Magnes Megas. R1 summons Bio Dragon, they jump in, and BR is used once Bio Jets 1 and 2 combine- Wait a sec, THEY USED THE BIO JETS TO GET THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE- Whatever. BR is easily taken down by Magne Megas and Shota tries helping them by sending a huge boulder down a hill with a long pole. How comedic. Magne Megas trips and BR gets up with the Biomen glad to see him. Farrah throws a fit over this and the narrator has the episode end on a cliffhanger. Next episode shows Shota transforming into a cyborg.

Episode 36:

After a recap of last episode, Pebo wants bio-particles detected in Shota so BR places him on a hill for the bio-sensor to work. None are detected so BR walks off with Farrah commenting on capturing him. Cut to the team searching for more Magne with their compasses being messed up. Shota offers to help and Y4 pulls him aside to talk to him about how he is not able to be a Bioman. She eventually admits he is a nuisance and they walk off. After that Farrah Cat attacks Shota with both evenly matched. Farrah, in human disguise, offers to make him stronger so he takes him to their laboratory. He is given a pair of armlets and is shot with magnetic energy from Magne. After he becomes a cybor, Farrah and Farrah Cat ditch their disguises and continue to shock hi. After that Shota attacks, complete with martial arts and visor lasers, at the Biomen when they roam a construction site. He quickly deals with them and Magne Megas returns, this time with Farrah piloting. She says Shota has become Magne Soldier 1 and now follows New Gear. Y4 is distraught and Psygorn shows up to fire ball spam them off a cliff. The Biomen soon reform at a river side and Y4 feels guilty so she runs off to the construction site to confront Shota. She tries to snap him out of his brainwashing with the others watching. R1 realizes they have to be Magne Megas so he calls for Bio Dragon. Y4 gets wounded and Bio Dragon fires its lasers only for Magne Megas to fire his magnet cannon. Shota soon starts feeling head pain, resisting mind control. Y4 eventually fires her arrows at the- NOW THEY'RE BRACELETS!? CONSISTENCY PEOPLE! Anyway, the armor disipates and after a slap and a speech Shota is back to normal. He thanks Y4 and the Bioman cheer on.

In the forest Shota and Y4 take out mechaclones, the former even able to rip one's head off. Also, Rider Double Kick! Shota leads Y4 to the lab arrows a flyin'. Psygorn blocks the entrance and fire ball spams until Shota uses his slingshot to shove a rock in one of his mouths. The two are stunned by a psycho death beam from the eyes, but the others show up to fight Psygorn. Shota goes inside to destroy the base and Y4 transforms to help her team complete with intros and mook fighting. Also bio arrows explode now. Shota destroys the console with an arrow, sending the area into an inferno. Shota carries out Magne which manages to redirect Psygorn's psycho death beam at him and stun him. After that the Biomen use the Super Electron on him to send him flying. Magne Megas appears and Shota cheers on as Bio Jets 1 and 2 become BR. Rematch! Magne Megas uses the magnet cannon, but BR turns into the Bio Jets again and laser spam before recombining. After that is the Super Maser executing the Bio Particle Cut, destroying Magne Megas with Farrah escaping via mirage fighter. Later, Shota puts up a sign on his home claiming he will marry Y4 so she runs off. Shota blows her a kiss and the narrator mentions Y4 has no time for love. Next episode shows close ups of Silva with him facing off against R1.

Magne Megas: Powers include reinforced armor and dual arm electric lasers called the magnetic cannon
=================================================
BAM! BATTO! CURASHU! OUTTO! Okay, wow, this is enjoyable, where to start! The Biomen all get reasonable screen time save for R1 BUT since Silva is appearing in the last third and I assume the two are rivals, I'll keep that on reserve. The new Y4 is definitely an improvement over the original and even uses team work with P5 very well! Just like how Shotaro Ishinomori treated his female warriors seriously. Pebo I have nothing against and is good in his own right, but against previous sentai assemblers he isn't as good or have the charisma, leaving the warriors to think and fend for themselves. Not bad, just not my preference. Now lets talk about the villains, Dr. Man at first I thought was just an ego stroker, but after seeing his backstory and that glorious troll in episode 28 I have to give the guy respect. So much so that he's now my favorite sentai main villain (although Deathgiller still holds the spot for best commander villain). Unfortunately I am mixed with his subordinates. Monster and Juoh are the only ones with any personality while the other seven are unfortunately sort of bland. What was the point of killing off Aquaiger and Messer Beast? They didn't even both showing the bodies being damaged when Metal Megas did his missile blasting, it was kind of disappointing. Giving the others upgrades makes sense what with giving them better weapons and all, but the physical appearances seem to be quite minimal outside of the expanded arsenal. I like the idea of having an anti-sentai team, but the idea was poorly fleshed out and could have been better. Aside from that everything minus face palmingly bad continuity errors are top notch for a toku of this time period. Perhaps it will be the best toku of the 80s? Better than Sharivan and Ultraman 80 and Kamen Rider Black RX? Very real chance!

Next time we begin the final third staring the great Silva and his giant dragon robot Balzion! How big are these two? Well are any of you familiar with the Compati Heroes games that feature Gundam, Kamen Rider, and Ultraman? Most people think the franchise started with Great Battle for the Super Famicom since the Great Battle titles take up over half that franchise. Others say it was with SD Hero Decisive Battle for the regular Famicom which also starred the Metal Heroes (Shaider, Metalder, and Jiban) since the side scrolling game play for most Great Battle titles minus Pocket started there. Well they're both wrong, once upon a time there was a game for the Famicom called SD Battle Sumo Heisei Hero Bash, also by Banpresto, featured the same three franchises AND Super Sentai, all in sumo matches. It also featured an original character that made a cameo in the final episode of Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector, but this isn't SRW/Banpresto Original history. The titular robos from Changeman to Fiveman were featured and the sole representing villain? Silva and Balzion (as a finisher). Yup, no Bio Robo or Bioman, but Silva instead. To have a villain but not the hero of a franchise you paid rights for.... That is quite impressive. Silva was also the only Bioman villain to appear with them in Azito 2. Why bring up Bioman's video game adaption history? I mean other than before Dice-O Super Sentai had very little with video gaming. Simple, Silva must have left such an impression that he was the one villain worth bringing back the most, kind of like Shadow Moon from Kamen Rider Black. This guy must have been quite boss so I do have somewhat high expectations of this villain. Did 80s Japanese kids like evil white cyborgs? That would explain a little.

Also

>"Maskman did the first prototype sixth ranger!"
>Bioman having Shota is a cyborg suit and fought with them, both for and against like a sixth ranger

How unrecognized is this guy? What a shame.

 

[Captain Shark]

Before we go continue we must give our respects to GUIS who is now a dead subgroup, the same people that allowed us to enjoy Bioman in its most accurate form up to this point.

We bid farewell and starting with episode 39 we enter Philipino dubs with part 13.

Episode 37:

At Neo-Cloud we see a line of new Megas when a ball of light appears and starts shooting mechaclones. It manifests into a humanoid and steals Cannon Megas. Dr. Man says nobody should be able to hijack megas. Cut to a city where Cannon Megas attacks an oil refinery and steps on poison gas lines. The Biomen appear and have BR show up to contain the gas. BR uses a neutralizer in its waist and sprinkles it over the gas to make it disappear. Cannon Megas attacks and Pebo wonders why anti bio-particles are being detected, soon realizing an identification code is analyzed with him starting to scream. The team wonders why Pebo is running away while the humanoid in Cannon Megas reveals he came to destroy BR. Psygorn tries stopping Cannon Megas and the figure comes out, revealing to be Silva. He soon takes out the mechaclones and Mason tries attacking only for his missiles to do nothing. Silva detects bio-particles and starts shooting the heroes before yelling his name. Mason and Psygorn run off while Dr. Man notes his gun has anti bio-particles. The Biomen then transform and Silva wonders why they are on the planet. Everyone throws their weapons only for them to get shot down followed by they themselves save R1. The others feel very weak and R1 duels with Silva one on one. Eventually Mason shows up in Cannon Megas and attacks both. Silva retreats, saying he will terminate them.

The Biomen spot BR shaking in fear with them trying to talk to Pebo who freaks out when he knows it was Silva. He reveals that Pebo was an assistant robot for an order on Bio meant to keep the peace when the Anti-Bio Alliance (composed of who or where is unknown, other aliens?) thought bio-particles would be turned into weapons. Anti bio-particles were created and caused a civil war on the planet. Silva was the trump card of the Anti Bio Alliance with his robot Balzion, constructed solely for destroying bio-particles. Neither side could obtain victory as Bio exploded and Pebo finds it unbelievable Silva is alive. Pebo then mentions the Bio Killer Gun that took out the original Y4 and that Silva's Bi-Blaster dwarfs it in sheer power. Silva shows up on a waterfall and recognizes Pebo. R1 manages to take a shot meant for Pebo who freaks out. P5 takes him back to Bio Base while the others transform and fight. P5 tries slapping sense into Pebo and that they cannot run away from their destiny of fighting. During this the others get bi-blasted quite hard and BR shows up read to fight. Bio Robo Super Missies miss Silva who complains about not having Balzion. BR lets P5 down from the cockpit and Cannon Megas shows up as does Psygorn with mechaclones. This is followed by intros and mook busting. Psygorn proves more annoying and dodgy than usual until Y4 reveals they were holographs. The Biomen use the lasers of their bio swords to stun him followed by using the Super Electron. BR picks them up and places them into itself so it can fight properly. Both sides exchange projectiles until BR uses the Super Maser to execute the Bio Particle Cut, destroying Cannon Megas with Mason escaping in a mirage fighter. The episode ends with Pebo saying Earth must not end up like Bio. Next episode shows Pebo facing Silva with a gun of his own and Balzion flying through space.

Cannon Megas: Powers include dual shoulder cannons, a right arm gun, and eye lasers called the body cannon

Episode 38:

After a recap of last episode Dr. Man wishes he had him as a minion in front of the Big Three. He notes how Silva is interested in giant robots so he intends to lure him out. Cut to a construction site (how many does Japan have?) where fog happens and a mechanical dragon fires eye lasers that destroy the area. BOOM! The Biomen show up and locate Silva who soon senses them. I should note now that Silva moves fast via a star of energy. B3 is soon taken out followed by the women. G2 jumps in only to get shot. R1 faces off with him, but Silva says he has no time to play and goes off. The others note his power and Pebo is surprised. Pebo concludes that Silva is likely looking for Balzion and has a flashback of how destructive they were, claiming the Earth is screwed over royal. Pebo takes a bronze gun from a compartment hidden in a console and goes out on his own. At Bio Base the Biomen contact Pebo who says Silva is his enemy while they have New Gear. Pebo then says they taught him bravery and they go after him. A thunder storm occurs and blows up a military base. One of the survivors is located by Silva saying it was a giant robot, Silva believes this unaware the survivor is a mechaclone in disguise. Silva thinks the robot is Balzion with Farrah watching when Pebo shows up. Silva says he should aim properly as he is shaking and Pebo accidentally sets off a chain trap meant for Silva. Pebo accidentally shoots Metsler in the background and the robot is revealed to be Battle Megas, not Balzion- Wait, how does anyone other than Silva or Pebo know what Balzion looks like? Silva is then attacked by Farrah before she teleports off with Pebo. Meanwhile, Farrah Cat announces they have Pebo hostage and will do a hostage exchange at a plateau.

At said plateau (looks more like a rocky hill) Farrah has a knife at Pebo when the heroes show up and take out mechaclones. P5 frees Pebo and Silva attacks. Pebo tells him the team is from Earth because BR gave their ancestors bio energy. Silva does not believe him and shoots Pebo. R1 says they won't let either side win followed by the Biomen doing their intros and finishing the mechaclones. Farrah attacks Silva, but gets caught in a chain trap. Farrah then teleports them back to Neo-Cloud while Metsler deals with the Biomen. After R1 stuns them they use the Super Electron on Metsler. Farrah takes over Battle Megas while R1 calls for Bio Dragon, it lands, they board, and Bio Jets 1 and 2 turn into BR. Both sides exchange projectiles until BR uses the Super Maser to execute the Bio Particle Cut to blow up Battle Megas with Farrah escaping in a mirage fighter. Dr. Man complains and Silva says only Balzion can beat BR. He also says he lost Balzion due to the shock of the atmosphere. Dr. Man offers to help search for Balzion, but Silva breaks his chains and grabs his bi-blaster. Silva fights with Dr. Man and Mason while shooting everyone and escaping. The episode ends with the Biomen looking to the sky and the narrator saying the search is on. Next episode shows ultra sonic wave emitters and P5 playing a flute.

Battle Megas: Powers include eye lasers, twin torso cannons, left arm shield, and four missile launchers called battle missiles from each shoulder

Episode 39:

Silva looks for Balzion and shoots randomly. Pebo is working on a device that will deal with Balzion while P5 plays the flute- Okay now the dub says Pebo is female WILL PEOPLE MAKE UP THEIR MINDS!? Anyway, R1 is impressed by her skills when he is told Silva is causing havoc. Silva starts shooting randomly in a train yard due to bio particle simulators made by Dr. Man to tire him out. Mason has a pair of mechaclones plant more randomly when the Biomen show up and laser fire flies. Silva reveals the spikes in his elbows are tasers during the fight. P5 gets hurt and Mason confronts Silva. He shows them the bio simulators and blames it on the Biomen. Silva thinks he is lying and Mason calls for Sonic Megas. Before Mason can pilot it, however, Silva hijacks it saying he will find Silva. Mason comments about how his plan works and tells the heroes before teleporting. R1 calls for Bio Dragon and once the team enters they attack Sonic Megas. Meanwhile, Farrah, Metsler, Monster, and Juoh set up giant dishes waiting for Sonic Megas. At Bio Base the others tell P5 to rest while they head out with the devices Pebo made which look like ectoplasm packs from Ghostbusters mixed with a geigar counter. Silva looks for Balzion on foot for some reason while the Biomen use the devices to look for anti bio-particles. G2 and B3 get shot followed by R1. Silva comments about how screwed they are before Y4 gets shot and he goes gun happy. Farrah and Monster activate the dishes to emit sonic energy that causes pain to the Biomen and Silva.

The five warriors are in pain while the villains laugh and Mason reveals the devices are called bio disruptor beams.... Why do they look like sonic energy? Psygorn jumps in for a better view and Silva tries calling Balzion to no avail. Pebo wonders how to help and P5 goes out with her flute to help. Psygorn starts using his powers- HOLY CRAP THAT CYBORG THUNDER BLAST TERMINATED THE SIDE OF A HILL! P5 starts playing the opening theme and Psygorn finds it annoying like a Rick Roll. The bio disruptors SOMEHOW stop, but Psygorn's flare attack sends them down a hill. P5 transforms, the Biomen jump and do their intros, and Psygorn is assaulted.... Taking the weapons quite well. P5 throws her flute followed by the Super Electron sending him flying. This takes out the bio disruptors and Silva takes Sonic Megas. Once the Biomen board Bio Dragon BR is formed from Bio Jets 1 and 2. Sonic Megas wastes no time arsenal spamming with BR counting with a Bio Robo Missile followed by the Super Maser executing the Bio Particle Cut to end Sonic Megas. These dub renamings of various attacks are dumb. Also Silva knows how to pilot mirage fighters. Dr. Man says he is impressed and R1 gives P5 a new flute. Next episode shows- oh wait, THE DUB HAS NOT PREVIEWS! Ladies and gentlemen from now on we are walking into every episode blind!

Sonic Megas: Powers include flight, hand missiles, and twin torso sonic emitters

Fifty Shades of Grey makes its big screen debut! What is not borderline NC-17 is part 14!

Episode 40:

Farrah gives Dr. Man a letter of Monster and Juoh leaving. We see the two sitting on a park bench saying the others think they're inferior although Monster thinks he's plenty strong. Monster comes up with the idea of improving Juoh's speed. Cut to Bio Base where B3 catches G2 trying to stealthfully take the Bio Turbo because he used to be a skilled racer with young fans. Because the fans think he won't race anymore, G2 feels like he should race again so B3 allows him. The next day Juoh's running training begins and he flunks. They spot the Bio Turbo so Juoh goes rocket happy and Monster uses a giant grappling hook to yank G2 off. The two villains beat G2 to a pulp and steal the Bio Turbo- I just noticed it is spelled with one word on the side. G2 thinks he's in huge trouble while one of his sick fans is in the hospital. Juoh rampages in the stock footage oil refinery and Pebo alerts the others with B3 feeling guilty. G2 tries stealing it back- MONSTER WAS RENAMED TO MARCO? WHY!? Anyway, G2 fights Juoh and two mechaclones, only beating the latter. R1 and Y4 show up only for them to leave. Both scold G2 when B3 tells them he is guilty too while Monster and Juoh cause trouble. G2 feels horrible and B3 punches him saying he will help him fix the mess. After they take the Biocycles they catch up to Monster and Juoh and start a high speed chase via their Bio Speeds.

The chase continues in a field until the Biocycles use grapple hooks to stop the Bio Turbo. Silva soon shows up calling the situation ridiculous before shooting G2 and B3. Monster compliments him and drives off, but the two are still hanging onto the ropes. Y4 appears to shoot the mechaclone driving with a bio arrow. The others show up, managing to kick the villains out, and do their intros and mechaclone smack down. The Biomen gets easily beaten by Monster and Juoh although G2 uses his boomerang to stun the latter before they use the Super Electron to send him flying. Monster runs and Dr. Man sends out Crush Megas so he can pilot it. R1 has Bio Dragon launch, they jump in, and Bio Jets 1 and 2 become BR. Melee ensues between both titans with Crush Megas slowly beating BR up. Soon BR uses the Super Maser to slice off Crush Megas's arms.... Only for it to spawn two new arms! After Crush Megas attacks a bit, BR finishes him with the Bio Particle Cut with Monster escaping in a mirage fighter. The episode ends with G2 showing his young fans the Bio Turbo, saying he will take him on a drive some time.

Crush Megas: Powers include dual hook hands, a second pair of arms with launchable maces, and a back energy cannon

Episode 41:

A flying ring appears on a playground that turns into a singing woman. This causes children to become tired and sleep while she teleports around. She is soon revealed to be an android as she continues putting kids to sleep. I wish I could fall asleep that fast. Four mothers show up trying to wake up their boys soon after. Soon Metsler appears once the ring stops working. Farrah spots a little girl that sees them and has Metsler run after her. Y4 and P5 soon show up and protect said girl from Farrah, Farrah Cat, and Metsler who summon mechaclones from behind the trees. The men show up to keep things even with Silva right after. New Gear makes a run for it while the women try saving the girl, named Michi. The ring woman manages to put Michi to sleep. Cut to Neo-Cloud where Monster claims he had a dream of marrying Farrah, accidentally kissing Juoh. Oh the yaoi bait this must have given female fans. Dr. Man repairs ring woman while Michi is at Bio Base with Pebo and P5 taking care of her. R1 claims she has secrets that would help the other kids. P5 has an idea of putting herself to sleep to save the kids.... Pretty sure dreams don't work like that unless you're in Bikini Bottom. Meanwhile, Dr. Man has Amazon Megas given a dream installer. After that, P5 goes to sleep next to Michi while both are hooked up to some brain wave machine. In the dream world P5 spots Michi and ring woman being controlled Metsler, noticing the head ring. Ring woman reveals her real face and carries a knife. Dr. Man sends out Amazon Megas to a city and summons several other ring women. The men head out while Pebo tries to wake up P5 to no avail. Around Tokyo people are put to sleep, causing car accidents and pleasing Dr. Man.

The men show up and are met by five ring women, struggling to stay awake. They try fighting them, but they turn out to be intangible. Farrah shows up with her squad and more ring women. At Bio Base, Y4 changes some circuits by rewiring bio energy to help P5. This works and she wakes up just as the men stumble down stairs. Soon after Y4 shows up and shoots head bands followed by P5 telling the men to aim there. This works and Farrah finds it baffling P5 escaped the dream world and the women transform. This allows the Biomen to do their intros and initiate mechaclone slaughter. Metsler soon gets assaulted and flies off from a direct Super Electron. Farrah takes control of Amazon Megas while R1 calls Bio Dragon, they jump in, and BR is formed from Bio Jets 1 and Toei cannot decide if the area is a field or city. Amazon Megas goes arsenal spamming until BR uses the Super Maser to allow both giants to execute a sword fight. Soon after BR terminates Amazon Megas with the Bio Particle Cut. Notably Farrah escapes in Amazon Megas's helmet. Silva comments about how his Balzion is better and Michi wakes up from the dream world.

Amazon Megas: Powers include a right hand sword, a left arm shield, rings that spawn dream maker women, mouth flames called the fire storm, and tendril hair that emits electricity

Episode 42:

At a wild life sanctuary where a hydroelectric dam is introduced by the narrator. In the woods B3 and Y4 do martial arts training with the former getting bird poop on himself. R1 talks to the birds a bit until they fly off. Cut to G2 and P5 camping while R1 complaining that rice cans exploding from the camp fire were scaring the birds. After B3 complains about having no lunch a park ranger spots them and starts swining a stick at them. Silva spots them and before he shoots Thunder Megas starts draining nearby power. Monster and Juoh lead a squad to take over the hydroelectric dam, but one employee manages to set off an alarm. The Biomen show up to fight the mechaclones and Juoh goes rocket happy before they transform. During the battle both villains throw barrels, but P5's Pink Barrier manages to reflect one back at them. After more mechaclones bite the dust, Silva shows up to complicate things, saying the Biomen are his and shoots at Juoh. Thunder Megas appears and fires at Silva. Monster soon pilots it and Silva runs off. R1 calls for BR and they enter the cockpits upon being picked up. Both sides exchange projectiles briefly, unintentionally damaging the sanctuary. R1 notices this and has BR retreat. Dr. Man scolds Monster for letting them escape. At Bio Base the damage to BR was worse than they thought and Monster informs them that the capital region will be targeted in the next hour. R1 concludes he is waiting because Thunder Megas requires more energy. While the team spies on the dam they see the park ranger from earlier crying that baby birds he took care of died. R1 decides to lure New Gear away from the area while the others wait in BR.

At the dam R1 stealthfully takes out mechaclones and before long racks up a kill count. He enters the control room and fights off grunts lead by Juoh- THOSE ROCKETS SHOUULD HAVE KILLED YOU. Also, Juoh can be stunned by sending him into a spinning chair. R1 cuts off the power and Monster notices as Thunder Megas can't absorb more electricity. R1 makes a run for it with a falcon helping him avoid a mechaclone ambush with the others looking on. R1 soon falls into a river during the chase, but gets back up and into a field. Thunder Megas starts attacking directly, somehow not killing R1. After Juoh acts nutty Monster decides to pick him up and tell him to fight R1. Suddenly BR appears with the others fighting back complete with mechaclones getting squished before being let out. Once R1 transforms the heroes do their intros and take out the remaining mechaclones. Juoh goes rocket happy, but they retaliate with the Super Electron. Monster gets angry and the Biomen board BR, allowing a rematch. Both sides exchange projectiles and BR soon finishes Thunder Megas with the Bio Particle Cut and Monster escapes in a mirage fighter. The episode ends wuth the Biomen setting up new bird houses for the sanctuary.

Hey, AH, do you know where to find decent quality versions of the English Dub?

Also how's this for irony- one of the first ever English adaptations for Sentai, and the Pink Ranger is named Kimberly.

I noticed that too. As for the dubs I'm watching them off of YouTube and episode 50 isn't included, that one I'll have to watch in French dub. Doesn't bother me too much since I know basic French (more written then spoken, but I still know more French than Japanese).

Before we get to the take on I unfortunately have to announce that as of last night I found out my family has a serious financial situation and of the "a job with better pay is required to get us out" variety. Bioman will be finished very soon, however there is a big chance this will end with Changeman. Not the way I wanted to announce that Changeman would be next, but life is unpredictable. Maybe it won't end like that, maybe this take on will continue on with the rest of sentai history. What I do know is that this problem isn't going to fix itself and this is without also factoring in college, unfortunately. Cost cutting has begun and it will last a while.

With that out of the way here is part 15.

Episode 43:

Neo-Cloud sends out Satan Megas with BR meeting it in combat. Satan Megas casts a shadow on the carbdoard sky and fires palm lasers. BR fights back with Bio Robo Super Missiles and the Super Maser to execute the Weighted Attack, decapitating him. Cut to some school girl that.... uses psychic powers to reattach his head? The Bio Particle Cut is executed and blows Satan Megas up.... Only to reform! The Biomen and Pebo find it weird. Cut to Neo-Cloud where Dr. Man says the school girl is what will grant them victory as long as she lives. BR still tries slicing him to pieces, but Satan Megas keeps reforming. Pebo discovers via computers that special energy is feeding him and BR flies off. Later the heroes go to the streets of Tokyo and run around P5 is nearly ran over and the school girl blows up the car with her mind, undoubtedly killing the people inside. The team spots this and during the chase encounter mechaclones disguised as street dancers. The girl is hurt from a thrown mechaclone knife and goes to some warehouse where a school boy finds her. He shows her to his scientist dad and he experiments on her, revealing that she is a cyborg. After giving her some new part she wakes up. After that psychic girl and science boy go eat at a park with the Biomen spotting them from afar. They note the boy is none other than Dr. Man's son, Koichi. G2 discovers the girl is a mechaclone and try to do something, but the professor stops them saying he gave the girl a conscious circuit which makes her good. Mason overhears this and Dr. Man throws a fit while remembering the scientist is familiar to him. Dr. Man then sends the others after him.

Mechaclone dancers appear to harass psychic girl and Koichi. Mason says he wants them- Her name is Miki? Anyway, the kids run and the Biomen transform. Psygorn shows up to stop the getaway car of the scientist and kids, controlling it like the ghost car from ten or so eps back. However, the Biomen bust his dummy and free the car. More mechaclones show up to cause some ruckus. As the civilians run the team does their intros and whomp mechaclones. Psygorn throws them around with telekinesis followed by fire balls. Koichi tries to stop this, but Miki diverts his attacks long enough for the Super Electron to send him flying. Dr. Man decides that Miki should feel pain and anguish while Koichi finds out she has psychic powers. Satan Megas shows up and R1 calls for BR for a rematch. The heroes jump in and Mason has Satan Megas.... Stand still while BR slices it up via the Super Maser. Miki unintentionally repairs him and Koichi finds out, complete with Dr. Man going on about how her death will come. Koichi says he will fight his father and says he will not win. Dr. Man replies with him saying he gave up being human. Koichi offers Miki the chance to flee and Satan Megas starts doing serious damage to BR. The episode ends with BR chasing off after the kids.

Episode 44:

After a recap of last episode and finding out the scientist's name is Dr. Shibata, mechaclones disguised as the Biomen nab the kids with Mason ordering their execution. However, Miki breaks free and attacks the mooks in slow motion. Mason tells her she still serves them and she does not believe them. She accidentally hurts the doc and Koichi when the real Biomen show up and distract Metsler. After some assaulting Miki takes both to a large fountain. Miki frets about not being human when Y4 and P5 show up to help Koichi. The boys try helping the doc when the scientist notices an heirloom around R1's neck.... That has a swazika. They briefly exchange names before he helps the others. Koichi blames himself for Dr. Man and sees good in Miki. R1 continues by saying she is no longer a mechaclone. She thanks Koichi before Dr. Shibata shows them the warehouse lab where Koichi says he has been working with him for a while. Pebo tells the heroes that Satan Megas is back, but Miki prevents them from leaving and says she'll have to die. R1 tells her not to think that when Silva starts walking around outside with everyone hearing. He soon busts in and shoots- THAT WAS A DIRECT HIT HOW ARE YOU NOT HURT? R1 soon wrestles with Silva while the others run outside. The lab explodes and Miki runs off to face Satan Megas alone. She attempts to use conscious circuit to get Satan Megas to stop while the others watch. Mason soon finds himself unable to move him.

Dr. Man orders the termination of everyone and Satan Megas breaks free to continue his rampage. Mason and Metsler shows up complete with boasting. The team transforms as Miki runs off with Koichi followed by intros and whoop mechaclones. Mason enters the battle followed by Metsler who grabs P5 until R1 throws his bio sword at him. Metsler is then sent flying via the Super Electron. Satan Megas goes stomp happy and R1 summons Bio Dragon, they jump in, and Bio Jets 1 and 2 form BR. Off the bat Satan Megas uses explosive slashes, but BR fights back. Unfortunately Miki still repairs Satan Megas unintentionally while Mason strokes the ego of Dr. Man. Miki runs off and thanks Koichi and Dr. Shibata for all they have done with piano music playing in the background. She lets go of their hands, jumps into Satan Megas, and explodes with the Biomen watching. Satan Megas's face briefly changes and the Super Maser decapitates him before finishing him by the Bio Particle Cut. After Mason escapes in a mirage fighter, Miki's dress ribbon can be seen floating back to earth. The episode ends with the Biomen exchanging words with Dr. Shibata and Koichi, remembering Miki for her good self.

Satan Megas: Powers include palm lasers and explosive torso flashes

Episode 45:

The Biomen take out mechaclones very easily and Farrah shows up piloting Baroque Megas. The faces on him flash and start emitting holograms around the team before a flamethrower and freezing gas is used on them. Silva shows up and shoots at Y4. Farrah takes note and has Baroque Megas fire lasers at Y4 as well that suspend her in the air- OH SNAP SHE DISAPPEARED! Farrah blames Silva and uses Baroque Megas's guns to attack him. After that the heroes look for Y4 who is wondering the streets of Tokyo exhausted. The Biomen look using Bio Jets 1 and 2 while Farrah leads her squad. A mechaclone follows her and Dr. Man notes that her bio energy. He tosses Farrah a device and is told to put it around the neck and leave it all to him. Cut to the team searching and commenting on how they may not find her. That night Baroque Megas finds Y4 in the empty streets and a face from him follows her into a building. Pebo finds Y4 on a screen. During this the faces of Baroque Megas find Y4 begin to attack her. She runs to the roof only to get thrown down. Farrah Cat places the device on Y4 just before the others arrive. Later, Y4 is well at Bio Base with only a cast on her left am when Baroque Megas is spotted again. The heroes head out for a rematch.

BR faces Baroque Megas and Dr. Man has Mason activate the hydrobomb given to Y4 which scrambles BR's circuits. Pebo cannot explain it and BR gets beaten up. G2 and B3 look for whatever is causing the problem and Farrah comments about how the hydrobomb will end them. Pebo notes the signal is getting stronger and Farrah decides to arsenal spam. Pebo manages to detect the signal in the cockpit and G2 sees the hydrobomb on Y4's headband. R1 has BR jump high and fly away briefly. Y4 gets out, turns back, and uses her bow and arrow to shoot the bomb to a hillside in time. Dr. Man curses them and Farrah takes her squad to face them on foot. Y4 transforms back so the Biomen can do their intros and slay mechaclones. Soon Metsler joins in and uses his rapier which we have not seen since his upgrade. Y4 stuns him with a bio arrow long enough for the Super Electron to send him flying. Baroque Megas attacks and the Biomen get back into BR, using the Super Maser to use the Weighted Attack.
