Time to go head first into the first heisei era of Super Sentai better known as Turboranger.
"Please stop with the monsters of the week and nicknames!"
No.
"So what is new?"
Since the first episode is mostly a glorified clipshow I will be doing something different. Specifically instead of doing 17 parts with 3 eps each I will be doing 10 parts with 5 eps each with the first episode crammed into part one. Instead of ending in 5s and 0s this take on will be dealing with 6s and 1s. Plus the first episode was meant to be the last episode of Liveman, but severe weather delayed that in addition to the death of Emperor Hirohito. The only other sentai episode treated like this first episode, at least to my awareness, is the last episode of Timeranger.
"Are you going back to Chinese subs again?"
From episode 4 onward yes.
"When will opinions be given this time?"
After episodes 13, 27, and the end.
"And the movie?"
Unfortunately unlike usual I have not been able to find the Turboranger movie. I've seriously looked, it is on Nicodouga, but has the "not available in your country" nonsense. Nobody will upload it anywhere for some reason.
"Hey what about ranking mecha?"
I have been developing on ranking the support crafts and bases, not so much the actual robots. I may or may not start showing off ranks after we finish this, but after Fiveman would be more likely.
"Are you going to loathe this too?"
Flashman had forced melodrama, Maskman had forced twists, and Liveman had forced inconsistency; lets just hope nothing is forced here. Also I don't loathe any series just yet, although Liveman managed to irritate me a lot.
"Anything else?"
The Titanium Ranger from Power Rangers Light Speed Rescue looks nothing like the Turborangers, where did this comparison come from? Also this is the first tokusatsu done by that Toshiki Inoue guy everyone talks about who has Kamen Rider characters in water or something (I never caught this until someone on /m/ pointed it out) and he's apparently the reason every Heisei rider series from Agito to Decade is all soap opera-ish instead of superhero-ish.... Which is weird because he never worked on Kuuga and that felt soap opera-ish yet he did work on Kiva and Decade and both felt superhero-ish (although Kiva had a bit of both). Also W also felt soap opera-ish at times and Hibiki was in its entirety and he only did the last two fifths. At this point I just don't care, I guess people just assume it was all him because his name pops up the most times, I have no idea.
=================================================
Episode 1 aka 10 Squads Assemble aka Turboranger vs. Super Sentai:
Leaves blow around and the Boma Empire, lead by Rayda, notices that the quarry they are in have many scars of battle. Insert random flashbacks here. He raises his staff and the Turborangers show up after one threw their sword. Gotta like how their pose has confetti and an explosion behind them. Red tells them that like previous invaders, they shall now fail. Black points to a cliff and we see every sentai member from Battle Fever J to Livemen. Once the red rangers jump down they strike poses and the Turbo Rangers explain how their predecessors were great and stuff. Insert flashbacks here starting with Battle Fever J. So vader monsters could grow giant because they had control of their cells and could become microscopic, how come the Power Rangers wiki never mentioned this? Also this stock footage confirmed that Toei has not used wire work techniques like in Dynaman in another sentai series, what a shame. I noticed that Maskman's flashback is the only one where their opening theme is not playing promptly. Red tells the Boma Clan to beat it, but Rayda fires staff bolts. Red asks the rangers to let his team deal with the Boma and they allow it. TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT SERIES! Wow their robot can do some aerial flips. Also, we get TWO previews!
Episode 2:
A shovel claw on a boat picks up a rock that explodes and turns into a fist. This fist becomes fire and flies off. During this a fairy travels around saying the Hundred Boma Tribes have awakened (is it tribes or clans?). Around some hills a rock with a bunch of chains on it arises and the first attaches itself to said rock. Cut to a classroom, some female teacher teaches Greek letter based algebra to high schoolers. Four boys and one girl start hearing the voice of the fairy, but likewise nobody else does. During this the violent demon beast from the rock emerges named Iwagami Boma. The fairy starts levitating objects and pulling hair to get the kids out of class. Some dimensional anomaly teleports them to the field where Iwagami Boma launches a fire ball to bust the rock and its chains. Out of it comes Jinba, Jarmin, and Rayda. The trio smell humans and the students start running away. Jarmin uses her energy whip and curses them for imprisonment while saying they will conquer the world. The fair from earlier throws balls of light that attach themselves to the students' wrists which become turbo braces. They have no way of activating them despite the fairy telling them to do so and get attacked. A guy in a red jeep shows up in time to drive off with them. The driver is revealed to be Professor Dazai and revealed he made the bracelets with the fairy who is named Seelon. He takes them to what I assume is a university to explain that very little fairy magic remains. Twenty thousand years ago humans and fairies lived together. Using a cube with glass windows the students see this history including Iwagami Boma. The fairies manages to seal them, but since humans have been destroying nature via polution, the fairies can no longer protect the seal. Seelon is also the last fairy on Earth; anyone wanna be a future sentai contradicts this? On a rooftop the villains, somehow unnoticed, bring out a flag and chant to some guy named Garzok. Two demonic figures emerge from the ground that cause and earthquake before flying. Dazai knows that they are trying to revive the Boma Castle. He mentions that is their emperor named Ragorn is revived the world is over. The students head out to a random field where the two demonic flying machines spam energy bolts from their horns- Wait, there are more? Apparently Gazorks are the enemy fighters of this series. Buildings explode from them flying by and there is actually a civilian on fire, ouch. Lots of explosions.
Seelon wakes up the students saying only they can save the world. She shows her real self at the shore and everyone is amazed. He foot somehow got stuck in a rock and she tells them to stop the Boma Castle. One of them manages to free her (why do all the men have such similar hair?) before Dazai comes over using fairy deteching glasses because he cannot see or hear Seelong (how does he know she existed beforehand?) Gazorks continue to rampage around the area. The students show up saying they are there to fight those "scumbags" (sub's words not mine). A villain covered in chains named Zultan shows up uses a flute to fire needles. The students use the turbo braces to become the Turborangers complete with a confetti explosion. Jarmin spews flames and uses her energy whip (and energy dragons form her soldiers), Raydra uses his staff to deflect attacks, Jinba uses sheer strength, Zultan uses a slingshot, and Iwagami Boma uses his own body parts as bombs. Yes, you read all that correctly. Red suggests they use a combination attack which involves gymnastic jumping and him getting a sword strike in. The Turborangers then use their turbo lasers to form a ball of plasma called the plasma shoot which forces Iwagami Boma to explode and them giving the vixtory hand sign. Rayda has two gazorks spam lightning bolts and Dazai, behind a boulder, tells them to summon Turbo GT. Red calls it and jumps in while taking hits. It takes off flying- wait those were lasers the gazorks were shooting? My mistake. Turbo GT fires lasers from the headlights. Gazorks go down and the camera appears to become over exposed briefly. Turbo GT lands and Red comes out with Seelon saying Lakia is nearby as everyone hears it howl. The narrator brings up the question of who Lakia is, ending on a cliffhanger. Net episode shows the Turborangers in white and the introductions of Ragorn and Turbo Robo.
Iwagami Boma: Powers include torso fire balls, reformation, and explosive body rocks
Episode 3:
After a recap of last episode, a rock emits lasers into space that form a constellation that becomes Lakia. Seelon and the Turborangers head over just as the Boma (not sure if clan or tribe so screw it). Red shows up and fires Turbo Cannons from the roof of his Turboattacker. Rayda brings in the gazorks and Lakia shows up to fly around. Dazai reveals he was the protector of the fairies while Rayda promises to revive the Boma Castle. Lakia says he must protect Earth and begins to fall. Both sides run around with snow in the woods when the Turborangers hit a random barrier. Dazai notices Lakia has become weak too thanks to human pollution. Considering Kamen Rider Black RX was airing at the same time I am starting to see why the Crisis Empire's motives were never revealed until the final episode. Lakia fails at keeping the barrier up, causing it to break. The Boma show up to be dicks and the Turborangers transform. Jinba fires an energy cutter from his katana and a new violent demon beast named Nejikure Boma shows up. The villains stun them and Nejikure Boma uses some mist to suck them up and spit them out, causing them to change back to their civilian forms. Nejikure Boma reveals he absorbed their energy and Lakia fires lasers so they can get away. Suddenly a weird lightshow happens and out of the fog of deep space (I know, weird) is the Boma Castle. In it lies Ragorn and the Boma begin to worship him. Ragorn tells his minions that everyone under his command will be revived before gazorks start going out to laser spam a city I assume is Tokyo. Woolars are sent out into the streets while the Turborangers panic.
Red runs off only to be nearly shot by gazorks. Seelon reveals they could see an hear her because they believed hard enough and once Red gives a speech they head off because corniness. Also Dazai says being 18 is the most beautiful time in one's life- Oh for the love of crap. They encounter the villains and Rayda zaps them via his staff before they transform. The Turborangers transform and look white until the color just comes back somehow. Lakia says he is glad people like them are still around. Wulars show up and get beaten up, wow that motorcycle ram was overkill. Nejikure swings his enlonged right arm around until the Combination Attack, or the combo as I will call it, is executed followed by the Plasma Shoot blows him up. Rayda uses his flute to annoy the hell out of them and revive Nejikure Boma as a giant. Dazai contacts them using a walkie talkie and tells them to summon their turbo machines aka big cars. They presumably teleport in and use towing cables to bring down gazorts. Also cannons and missiles. I like this one part where they are chasing Black on a bridge they kepe firing on. For some reason I did not see a weapon on Yellow's turbo machine. Red tells the others to combine, allowing them to form Turbo Robo. The robot skates in and does acrobatics to fight Nejikure Boma. The High Speed Blade is whipped out and uses the Turbo Crash after being encased with energy, bringing Nejikure Boma down for good. Yes its name will be shortened to TR, yes I will call the sword the HS Blade, and and yes I will call it Turbo Crash from now on. That night the professor and Turborangers see Lakia being turned into a constellation. Lakia says to them he will be watching. Red comments that it is their turn to protect Earth and that it needs to be fixed from the pollution. Next episode shows their teacher with papers and monster rolling.
Nejikure Boma: Powers include power absorbing mouth mist, right arm claws, face energy blasts, and a left hand sword
Episode 4:
From this point on I will be seeing this in Chinese subs. Coming up from the streets is something trying to penetrate from beneath. Enough of that, the teacher from the first episode, Misa Yamaguchi, sees her students playing baseball which I think annoys her. She walks over to one of the players and states he only got a twenty percent because of the crap he and the other Turborangers pulled in episode 2. I really can't tell the men apart, I'm sorry. Cut to Dango Boma emerging from the streets and scaring the locals off and turning them into giant balls. The Turborangers are horrified as we see a flashback of Zultan (I should note he did ditch his chains an episode ago) finding what I assume is a giant ring to Ragorn. The Turborangers transform and Dango Boma summons sumon woolars with their two commanders Woo and Lar. For grunts they do well. Dango Boma kicks the human balls so the Turborangers go after them and some woolars become balls to attack them. These are quite effective grunts. Cut to Boma Castle where Rayda brags about how awesome his plan is and Jinba and Ragorn think Woo and Lar make fine additions. Dango Boma keeps turning people into balls because dickery. While the Turborangers run around, the baseball player one encounters Misa who complains and he has to run away. Dazai shows up to help him run. Misa complains about Dazai and even strangles him. I was going to give this teacher the benefit of the doubt, but attacking someone like that is dumb. A human ball rolls into them, leaving only the teacher's books.
Seelon tells the Turborangers what happened. The running goes on for a bit until they enter a cave with a secret elevator with the Turboattacker and Mach Turbos. Jarmin and Zultan notice and attack, the latter turning into a cart for the former. Now that I think of it Zultan looks like a cross between Mr. Popo and Tao Pai Pai from Dragon Ball.... Which was airing too when this aired. Dango Boma tells the grunts something while Jarmin beas Zultan for getting them hurt from the Turborangers. The woolars prepare a giant pool cue while Woo or Lar duel with Red in a custom anti-Turboattacker (no idea if it has a name). The pool cue torture is prevented by the Turborangers show up and Red armed with a baseball, throwing it and encasing it with energy followed by stock footage to make it look like he did it three more times (based on editing he seemed to do it. Fight goes on, the woolars getting their butts handed to them and the Turborangers soon fighting back from the ball formation. The combo and Plasma Shoot brings Dango Boma down and most of the people are free, but one ball is still moving around. Jarmin somehow revives Dango Boma to giant size while the Turborangers send in the turbo machines to become TR. Wasting no time TR does a punch on Dango Boma while the human ball is about to be run over by a train. The HS Blade is brought out to do a laser beam and flip Dango Boma before using the Turbo Crash, returning everyone to normal and avoiding getting ran over by a train. Misa complains to Dazai and her students teleport to the scene chuckling. She tells Red to do his homework, I think, and they all walk off. Next episode shows what I assume is a jellyfish flying around and people dressed in medieval Japanese clothing.
Dango Boma: Powers include turning humans into balls and an explosive staff with two spheres
Episode 5:
At a museum of what I think is human history, Jarmin looks around and finds a seal, breaking it with her energy whip. An old hey-based piece of clothing and a hat turn into Minokasa Boma. Apparently the type of clothing is called a minokasa unless the Power Rangers wiki had a convincing troll on this guy's page article. Anyway, three bikers show up near the museum and Minokasa Boma uses his hat to turn them into samurai. The next day we see the Turborangers jogging and who I assume is Black is the only one that wants to keep going. He jogs off into the woods when he sees a boy being chased by the samurai bikers. Black jumps in and saves him, wondering about their clothes and such. A fight breaks out and Black manages to grab the boy and run. He notices a cop car once they get away, but the cop seems to have been turned into an aggresive old-timey Japanese officer- YOU PUNCHED HIM IN THE BALLS HOW LOW! If I never saw Dai Shogun or Edo Rocket I would have never known that was supposed to be how cops dressed in that era. Truly I have proven how little I know about fashion. A bunch of woolars including Woo and Lar show up from the police cruiser's hood and Black transforms. Also woolars being balls is going to be a thing in the series apparently. Jarmin whips off his turbo brace and he becomes a civilian again. He grabs the kid and drives the car away. He takes the kid to a doctor where he his dressed in an old robe too and chases them with.... Is that a spatula? The entire town in old timey robes chases them. Black and the boy manage to barely hid, the latter remembering what happened to the doctor aka Minokasa Boma converted him. Also, that is a saw not a spatula, clearly I know very little about ancient medicinal tools as well. Cut to the others eating lunch at a vacant park stadium wondering what happened to Black.
Zultan likes how everything is old timey and Jarmin brags about how if everyone has a mindset from a previous era society will break down. I'd be lying if I said that plan wasn't at least somewhat smart. Meanwhile, the doctor finds Black just as he is making a phone call. Seelon tries telling Dazai she found Black's turbo brace, eventually having to bop it on him. This plot point about Dazai needing goggles to see Seelon while the Turborangers don't is kind of redundant especially since the reasoning is about "believing". Black and the boy get attacked by the towns people, eventually getting away. The others try looking for him at a gas station only to encounter samurai. Minokasa Boma appears in the woods to attack Black and the boy, the latter becoming tired. They eventually run off the side of a hill and roll into some wood. They continue their fleeing until four people in big hats and katanas show up. Minokasa's head shows up and the four kick it down, causing sparks and an explosion. Jarmin asks who the hell they are and they are revealed to be the Turborangers. Red gives Black his turbo brace back and transform to slaughter woolars. After Yellow demonstrates electric powers via flipping, Zultan shows up, but Blue and Pink kick him down. Black faces Minokasa Boma, Woo, and Lar, causing explosions on the violent demon beast before the Plasma Shoot takes him down. Jarmin fires an energy dragon from her mouth and apparently that is how she does enlargement and revival from the last episode too. Red has the turbo machines roll out and form TR to do combat. Turbo Cannons shoot his hat down and Minokasa Boma gets a Turbo Punch followed by TR whipping out the HS Blade to end him using the Turbo Crash. Also I will shorten it to the Crash from now on because why not. The episode ends with everyone back to normal and the boy being taken care of by his doctor because the main deal was because he had a broken ankle; also Black still feels like jogging so the others try to keep up. Next episode shows mud men and an old guy on a boat.
Minokasa Boma: Powers include time reversal mind set via touching and a detachable head that flies and emits energy bolts
Episode 6:
Hi Toei logo in the bottom right corner. Pink helps two kids and their grandpa building a dock in a small lake. Some talking happens and a montage of pollution sources is shown. Cut to Rayda psychically pulling a wooden nail in a coffin up so he can blast it open, revealing Peropero Boma who uses his pelvis tongue to drink. The next day the boy from earlier spots Peropero Boma and the Turborangers drive in via Turbo Machs. Peropero Boma emits energy from his head that forms a boma zombie. Rayda teleports in to say how polluted water allowed this thing to get spawned. Anyone else reminded of Godzilla vs. Hedorah. The family notices a clean spot in the lake and the boy thinks it was from Peropero Boma. The Turborangers are fended off by boma zombie's acid mist and semi-solid body. Later the two kids spot Peropero Boma trying to steal a boat wih the boy lying about where he went to the Turborangers because he thinks he can save the lake. During this more boma zombies start showing up and cause havoc around the city. The Turborangers are horrified and fight them. They are soon overpowered and Rayda tells Ragorn how awesome his plan is with Jarmin stroking his ego, I think. Ragorn gives what I think are words of advice.
Seelon tells Dazai something while he fixes the turbo lasers. At the lake Pink notices the clean spot where fish are. She remembers talking to the kids. They soon find the to and Pink asks the boy, Hiroshi where the Boma are. His sister spills the beans and Pink gives some speech although Yellow is annoyed by their lies. I know who is who now that the men actually look different with different hairstyles and clothes this time. However, their grandpa gets attacked on his boat and Peropero Boma makes off with him. The Turborangers catch up to him on the otherside when Rayda is given the old man and boma zombies are spawned. No idea how mud men spawn explosions, but whatever. Dazai shows up with new weapons for them. Woolars show up to be slain alongside the boma zombies. Peropero Boma entangles the men with his pelvis tongue, but Pink slices it off, this actual scene is on YouTube and qualifies as "disturbing". The Plasma Shoot takes Peropero Boma down until Rayda plays his staff flute so he comes bck giant sized. Red has the turbo machines become TR after they teleport in. TR uses the Turbo Punch and Peropero Boma sends in a boma zombie only for both to be stunned by the Turbo Cannon. The HS Blade is brought out and ends the fight via the Crash. The episode ends with the family and the Turborangers looking at the lake which the grandpa says will be restored to normal in no time. Next episode shows some boxing training from Red and people getting eaten.
Peropero Boma: Powers include an extendable pelvis tongue that emits electric bolts, boma zombie spawning from the head, and mouth slime
Boma Zombie: Powers include acid mouth mist, laser deflection, limb extension, and high jumping
Movie:
In a cave we see ancient people run from woolars with Lakia setting them aflame. A fairy named Lola gets burned by a boma beast which Lakia fires at via finger energy bolts. This makes a seal that seals him up. After that is the intro. In the same cave two thousand years later the boma beast demands to be freed and doing so is his son. Yeah, the boma beasts here are named Majin Boma Senior and Junior. Senior scolds Junior for not doing anything to bust the seal. Cut to the high school where a band plays and a marathon is being runned with the men running in it and Pink as a baton twirler. Seelon shows up to tell them something bad is happening so they stop what they are doing. She feels a demonic energy occuring. Ms. Yamaguchi sees this and because she cannot see fairies she assumes they are just mumbling. After an awkward moment they run off. At a quarry cliff Junior and woolars try doing a chant, but the Turborangers interrupt them. The woolars go into combat and get slugged. Junior finishes a ritual with his shrine which summons an obelisk from the ground. Apparently it is a holy seal and Junior uses his sword to destroy it, allowing his dad to bust out of the cave- No, wait, he is chained up. He kind of resembles Krampus. Ragorn tells Junior splendid work in reviving Senior. Dr. Rayda points out Senior is their guardian deity and that his flames will engulf Boma Castle and thus allowing them to burn every lifeform on Earth. Another ritual is held at a beach while Dr. Dazai analyzes writings on the holy seal. Seelon falls victim to a fever while the ritual is finishing up with Dr. Dazai saying only she can replenish the seal using her life aura. Lola's sacrifice is what created the chains around Senior to begin with, but she will die upon doing so as well. The Turborangers head out and Zimba attacks, using green flames form his eyes to knock them off their bikes. Red fires his turbo laser to send him running. The ritual ends with the holy seal erecting from the ground and Junior destroying it, destroying the cave further before taunting the Turborangers. Senior's chains break off and his aura hurts them as he comes out. The Turborangers fire on him, but that fails. Junior says his father is invincible and Senior's mouth flames sends them flying over the horizon. Seelon worries about her friends and considers going out before finally doing so, destroying a window on the way.
The Turborangers wash up on shore where Dr. Dazai spots them. He tells them Seelon left with the resolve to die. She flies through the forest and Junior tells Senior to ignite Boma Castle as it flies by. The Turborangers minus Red get attacked by woolars lead by Jarmin and Zulten. Yellow fires on them and they move passed them, Jarmin having Zulten turn into a go cart to go after them. They soon catch up and she whips them off a cliff. Red encounters Zimba in a go cart like him. The two duel for a bit on the beach with vulcan guns a blazing. Two gazorks show up to screw with Red what with wing bolts and all. The Boma Castle flies by and Seelon tries flying faster. Red runs on foot just as Senior enflames Boma Castle. Dr. Rayda detects Seelon via his staff so he teleports to her and smacks her. Seelon gives him lip and that does nothing but make him want to kill her. Red shows up to save Seelon and set her on a rock while saying she has them now as the others show up. She trusts the Turborangers who tell Ragorn they are screwed before transforming complete with a pose. The villains and grunts attack them, Red fighting Zimba while Blue and Yellow get attacked by the father and son duo. Black gets beaten by Rayda while Jarmin and Zulten handle Pink. This causes them to lose rather badly and the boma laugh at them. Red encourages them to combine their powers for a combination attack, specifically flying kicks and Red doign a surprise slash attack. Senior is unphased and proclaims he is immortal before biting his son in the neck.... And eating him. Even Zulten thought that was messed up. Senior grows, the turbo machines are summoned, and six gazorks are shot down before TR is formed from them combining. TR grabs Senior by the horns only to get mouth flamed followed by getting tentacled. A Turbo Cannon is fired followed by the HS Sword being brought out to end the fight with the Turbo Crash. Farewell ya cannibal. At the beach Dr. Dazai and the Turborangers are happy to see Seelon full of life and hovering around.
Majin Boma Senior: Powers include mouth flames, an aura form, a high resistance to projectiles, twin electric tentacles, and size growing by consumption
Majin Boma Junior: Powers include a sword and high jumping

The trio smell humans and the students start running away. Jarmin uses her energy whip and curses them for imprisonment while saying they will conquer the world. The fair from earlier throws balls of light that attach themselves to the students' wrists which become turbo braces. They have no way of activating them despite the fairy telling them to do so and get attacked. A guy in a red jeep shows up in time to drive off with them. The driver is revealed to be Professor Dazai and revealed he made the bracelets with the fairy who is named Seelon.

Yes, you read all that correctly. Red suggests they use a combination attack which involves gymnastic jumping and him getting a sword strike in. The Turborangers then use their turbo lasers to form a ball of plasma called the plasma shoot which forces Iwagami Boma to explode and them giving the vixtory hand sign. Rayda has two gazorks spam lightning bolts and Dazai, behind a boulder, tells them to summon Turbo GT. Red calls it and jumps in while taking hits. It takes off flying- wait those were lasers the gazorks were shooting? My mistake. Turbo GT fires lasers from the headlights. Gazorks go down and the camera appears to become over exposed briefly. Turbo GT lands and Red comes out with Seelon saying Lakia is nearby as everyone hears it howl. The narrator brings up the question of who Lakia is, ending on a cliffhanger. Net episode shows the Turborangers in white and the introductions of Ragorn and Turbo Robo.
Iwagami Boma: Powers include torso fire balls, reformation, and explosive body rocks
Episode 3:
After a recap of last episode, a rock emits lasers into space that form a constellation that becomes Lakia. Seelon and the Turborangers head over just as the Boma (not sure if clan or tribe so screw it). Red shows up and fires Turbo Cannons from the roof of his Turboattacker. Rayda brings in the gazorks and Lakia shows up to fly around. Dazai reveals he was the protector of the fairies while Rayda promises to revive the Boma Castle. Lakia says he must protect Earth and begins to fall. Both sides run around with snow in the woods when the Turborangers hit a random barrier. Dazai notices Lakia has become weak too thanks to human pollution. Considering Kamen Rider Black RX was airing at the same time I am starting to see why the Crisis Empire's motives were never revealed until the final episode. Lakia fails at keeping the barrier up, causing it to break. The Boma show up to be dicks and the Turborangers transform. Jinba fires an energy cutter from his katana and a new violent demon beast named Nejikure Boma shows up. The villains stun them and Nejikure Boma uses some mist to suck them up and spit them out, causing them to change back to their civilian forms. Nejikure Boma reveals he absorbed their energy and Lakia fires lasers so they can get away. Suddenly a weird lightshow happens and out of the fog of deep space (I know, weird) is the Boma Castle. In it lies Ragorn and the Boma begin to worship him. Ragorn tells his minions that everyone under his command will be revived before gazorks start going out to laser spam a city I assume is Tokyo. Woolars are sent out into the streets while the Turborangers panic.
Red runs off only to be nearly shot by gazorks. Seelon reveals they could see an hear her because they believed hard enough and once Red gives a speech they head off because corniness. Also Dazai says being 18 is the most beautiful time in one's life- Oh for the love of crap. They encounter the villains and Rayda zaps them via his staff before they transform. The Turborangers transform and look white until the color just comes back somehow. Lakia says he is glad people like them are still around. Wulars show up and get beaten up, wow that motorcycle ram was overkill. Nejikure swings his enlonged right arm around until the Combination Attack, or the combo as I will call it, is executed followed by the Plasma Shoot blows him up. Rayda uses his flute to annoy the hell out of them and revive Nejikure Boma as a giant. Dazai contacts them using a walkie talkie and tells them to summon their turbo machines aka big cars. They presumably teleport in and use towing cables to bring down gazorts. Also cannons and missiles. I like this one part where they are chasing Black on a bridge they kepe firing on. For some reason I did not see a weapon on Yellow's turbo machine. Red tells the others to combine, allowing them to form Turbo Robo. The robot skates in and does acrobatics to fight Nejikure Boma. The High Speed Blade is whipped out and uses the Turbo Crash after being encased with energy, bringing Nejikure Boma down for good. Yes its name will be shortened to TR, yes I will call the sword the HS Blade, and and yes I will call it Turbo Crash from now on. That night the professor and Turborangers see Lakia being turned into a constellation. Lakia says to them he will be watching. Red comments that it is their turn to protect Earth and that it needs to be fixed from the pollution. Next episode shows their teacher with papers and monster rolling.
Nejikure Boma: Powers include power absorbing mouth mist, right arm claws, face energy blasts, and a left hand sword
Episode 4:
From this point on I will be seeing this in Chinese subs. Coming up from the streets is something trying to penetrate from beneath. Enough of that, the teacher from the first episode, Misa Yamaguchi, sees her students playing baseball which I think annoys her. She walks over to one of the players and states he only got a twenty percent because of the crap he and the other Turborangers pulled in episode 2. I really can't tell the men apart, I'm sorry. Cut to Dango Boma emerging from the streets and scaring the locals off and turning them into giant balls. The Turborangers are horrified as we see a flashback of Zultan (I should note he did ditch his chains an episode ago) finding what I assume is a giant ring to Ragorn. The Turborangers transform and Dango Boma summons sumon woolars with their two commanders Woo and Lar. For grunts they do well. Dango Boma kicks the human balls so the Turborangers go after them and some woolars become balls to attack them. These are quite effective grunts. Cut to Boma Castle where Rayda brags about how awesome his plan is and Jinba and Ragorn think Woo and Lar make fine additions. Dango Boma keeps turning people into balls because dickery. While the Turborangers run around, the baseball player one encounters Misa who complains and he has to run away. Dazai shows up to help him run. Misa complains about Dazai and even strangles him. I was going to give this teacher the benefit of the doubt, but attacking someone like that is dumb. A human ball rolls into them, leaving only the teacher's books.
Seelon tells the Turborangers what happened. The running goes on for a bit until they enter a cave with a secret elevator with the Turboattacker and Mach Turbos. Jarmin and Zultan notice and attack, the latter turning into a cart for the former. Now that I think of it Zultan looks like a cross between Mr. Popo and Tao Pai Pai from Dragon Ball.... Which was airing too when this aired. Dango Boma tells the grunts something while Jarmin beas Zultan for getting them hurt from the Turborangers. The woolars prepare a giant pool cue while Woo or Lar duel with Red in a custom anti-Turboattacker (no idea if it has a name). The pool cue torture is prevented by the Turborangers show up and Red armed with a baseball, throwing it and encasing it with energy followed by stock footage to make it look like he did it three more times (based on editing he seemed to do it. Fight goes on, the woolars getting their butts handed to them and the Turborangers soon fighting back from the ball formation. The combo and Plasma Shoot brings Dango Boma down and most of the people are free, but one ball is still moving around. Jarmin somehow revives Dango Boma to giant size while the Turborangers send in the turbo machines to become TR. Wasting no time TR does a punch on Dango Boma while the human ball is about to be run over by a train. The HS Blade is brought out to do a laser beam and flip Dango Boma before using the Turbo Crash, returning everyone to normal and avoiding getting ran over by a train. Misa complains to Dazai and her students teleport to the scene chuckling. She tells Red to do his homework, I think, and they all walk off. Next episode shows what I assume is a jellyfish flying around and people dressed in medieval Japanese clothing.
Dango Boma: Powers include turning humans into balls and an explosive staff with two spheres
Episode 5:
At a museum of what I think is human history, Jarmin looks around and finds a seal, breaking it with her energy whip. An old hey-based piece of clothing and a hat turn into Minokasa Boma. Apparently the type of clothing is called a minokasa unless the Power Rangers wiki had a convincing troll on this guy's page article. Anyway, three bikers show up near the museum and Minokasa Boma uses his hat to turn them into samurai. The next day we see the Turborangers jogging and who I assume is Black is the only one that wants to keep going. He jogs off into the woods when he sees a boy being chased by the samurai bikers. Black jumps in and saves him, wondering about their clothes and such. A fight breaks out and Black manages to grab the boy and run. He notices a cop car once they get away, but the cop seems to have been turned into an aggresive old-timey Japanese officer- YOU PUNCHED HIM IN THE BALLS HOW LOW! If I never saw Dai Shogun or Edo Rocket I would have never known that was supposed to be how cops dressed in that era. Truly I have proven how little I know about fashion. A bunch of woolars including Woo and Lar show up from the police cruiser's hood and Black transforms. Also woolars being balls is going to be a thing in the series apparently. Jarmin whips off his turbo brace and he becomes a civilian again. He grabs the kid and drives the car away. He takes the kid to a doctor where he his dressed in an old robe too and chases them with.... Is that a spatula? The entire town in old timey robes chases them. Black and the boy manage to barely hid, the latter remembering what happened to the doctor aka Minokasa Boma converted him. Also, that is a saw not a spatula, clearly I know very little about ancient medicinal tools as well. Cut to the others eating lunch at a vacant park stadium wondering what happened to Black.
Zultan likes how everything is old timey and Jarmin brags about how if everyone has a mindset from a previous era society will break down. I'd be lying if I said that plan wasn't at least somewhat smart. Meanwhile, the doctor finds Black just as he is making a phone call. Seelon tries telling Dazai she found Black's turbo brace, eventually having to bop it on him. This plot point about Dazai needing goggles to see Seelon while the Turborangers don't is kind of redundant especially since the reasoning is about "believing". Black and the boy get attacked by the towns people, eventually getting away. The others try looking for him at a gas station only to encounter samurai. Minokasa Boma appears in the woods to attack Black and the boy, the latter becoming tired. They eventually run off the side of a hill and roll into some wood. They continue their fleeing until four people in big hats and katanas show up. Minokasa's head shows up and the four kick it down, causing sparks and an explosion. Jarmin asks who the hell they are and they are revealed to be the Turborangers. Red gives Black his turbo brace back and transform to slaughter woolars. After Yellow demonstrates electric powers via flipping, Zultan shows up, but Blue and Pink kick him down. Black faces Minokasa Boma, Woo, and Lar, causing explosions on the violent demon beast before the Plasma Shoot takes him down. Jarmin fires an energy dragon from her mouth and apparently that is how she does enlargement and revival from the last episode too. Red has the turbo machines roll out and form TR to do combat. Turbo Cannons shoot his hat down and Minokasa Boma gets a Turbo Punch followed by TR whipping out the HS Blade to end him using the Turbo Crash. Also I will shorten it to the Crash from now on because why not. The episode ends with everyone back to normal and the boy being taken care of by his doctor because the main deal was because he had a broken ankle; also Black still feels like jogging so the others try to keep up. Next episode shows mud men and an old guy on a boat.
Minokasa Boma: Powers include time reversal mind set via touching and a detachable head that flies and emits energy bolts
Episode 6:
Hi Toei logo in the bottom right corner. Pink helps two kids and their grandpa building a dock in a small lake. Some talking happens and a montage of pollution sources is shown. Cut to Rayda psychically pulling a wooden nail in a coffin up so he can blast it open, revealing Peropero Boma who uses his pelvis tongue to drink. The next day the boy from earlier spots Peropero Boma and the Turborangers drive in via Turbo Machs. Peropero Boma emits energy from his head that forms a boma zombie. Rayda teleports in to say how polluted water allowed this thing to get spawned. Anyone else reminded of Godzilla vs. Hedorah. The family notices a clean spot in the lake and the boy thinks it was from Peropero Boma. The Turborangers are fended off by boma zombie's acid mist and semi-solid body. Later the two kids spot Peropero Boma trying to steal a boat wih the boy lying about where he went to the Turborangers because he thinks he can save the lake. During this more boma zombies start showing up and cause havoc around the city. The Turborangers are horrified and fight them. They are soon overpowered and Rayda tells Ragorn how awesome his plan is with Jarmin stroking his ego, I think. Ragorn gives what I think are words of advice.
Seelon tells Dazai something while he fixes the turbo lasers. At the lake Pink notices the clean spot where fish are. She remembers talking to the kids. They soon find the to and Pink asks the boy, Hiroshi where the Boma are. His sister spills the beans and Pink gives some speech although Yellow is annoyed by their lies. I know who is who now that the men actually look different with different hairstyles and clothes this time. However, their grandpa gets attacked on his boat and Peropero Boma makes off with him. The Turborangers catch up to him on the otherside when Rayda is given the old man and boma zombies are spawned. No idea how mud men spawn explosions, but whatever. Dazai shows up with new weapons for them. Woolars show up to be slain alongside the boma zombies. Peropero Boma entangles the men with his pelvis tongue, but Pink slices it off, this actual scene is on YouTube and qualifies as "disturbing". The Plasma Shoot takes Peropero Boma down until Rayda plays his staff flute so he comes bck giant sized. Red has the turbo machines become TR after they teleport in. TR uses the Turbo Punch and Peropero Boma sends in a boma zombie only for both to be stunned by the Turbo Cannon. The HS Blade is brought out and ends the fight via the Crash. The episode ends with the family and the Turborangers looking at the lake which the grandpa says will be restored to normal in no time. Next episode shows some boxing training from Red and people getting eaten.
Peropero Boma: Powers include an extendable pelvis tongue that emits electric bolts, boma zombie spawning from the head, and mouth slime
Boma Zombie: Powers include acid mouth mist, laser deflection, limb extension, and high jumping
Movie:
In a cave we see ancient people run from woolars with Lakia setting them aflame. A fairy named Lola gets burned by a boma beast which Lakia fires at via finger energy bolts. This makes a seal that seals him up. After that is the intro. In the same cave two thousand years later the boma beast demands to be freed and doing so is his son. Yeah, the boma beasts here are named Majin Boma Senior and Junior. Senior scolds Junior for not doing anything to bust the seal. Cut to the high school where a band plays and a marathon is being runned with the men running in it and Pink as a baton twirler. Seelon shows up to tell them something bad is happening so they stop what they are doing. She feels a demonic energy occuring. Ms. Yamaguchi sees this and because she cannot see fairies she assumes they are just mumbling. After an awkward moment they run off. At a quarry cliff Junior and woolars try doing a chant, but the Turborangers interrupt them. The woolars go into combat and get slugged. Junior finishes a ritual with his shrine which summons an obelisk from the ground. Apparently it is a holy seal and Junior uses his sword to destroy it, allowing his dad to bust out of the cave- No, wait, he is chained up. He kind of resembles Krampus. Ragorn tells Junior splendid work in reviving Senior. Dr. Rayda points out Senior is their guardian deity and that his flames will engulf Boma Castle and thus allowing them to burn every lifeform on Earth. Another ritual is held at a beach while Dr. Dazai analyzes writings on the holy seal. Seelon falls victim to a fever while the ritual is finishing up with Dr. Dazai saying only she can replenish the seal using her life aura. Lola's sacrifice is what created the chains around Senior to begin with, but she will die upon doing so as well. The Turborangers head out and Zimba attacks, using green flames form his eyes to knock them off their bikes. Red fires his turbo laser to send him running. The ritual ends with the holy seal erecting from the ground and Junior destroying it, destroying the cave further before taunting the Turborangers. Senior's chains break off and his aura hurts them as he comes out. The Turborangers fire on him, but that fails. Junior says his father is invincible and Senior's mouth flames sends them flying over the horizon. Seelon worries about her friends and considers going out before finally doing so, destroying a window on the way.
The Turborangers wash up on shore where Dr. Dazai spots them. He tells them Seelon left with the resolve to die. She flies through the forest and Junior tells Senior to ignite Boma Castle as it flies by. The Turborangers minus Red get attacked by woolars lead by Jarmin and Zulten. Yellow fires on them and they move passed them, Jarmin having Zulten turn into a go cart to go after them. They soon catch up and she whips them off a cliff. Red encounters Zimba in a go cart like him. The two duel for a bit on the beach with vulcan guns a blazing. Two gazorks show up to screw with Red what with wing bolts and all. The Boma Castle flies by and Seelon tries flying faster. Red runs on foot just as Senior enflames Boma Castle. Dr. Rayda detects Seelon via his staff so he teleports to her and smacks her. Seelon gives him lip and that does nothing but make him want to kill her. Red shows up to save Seelon and set her on a rock while saying she has them now as the others show up. She trusts the Turborangers who tell Ragorn they are screwed before transforming complete with a pose. The villains and grunts attack them, Red fighting Zimba while Blue and Yellow get attacked by the father and son duo. Black gets beaten by Rayda while Jarmin and Zulten handle Pink. This causes them to lose rather badly and the boma laugh at them. Red encourages them to combine their powers for a combination attack, specifically flying kicks and Red doign a surprise slash attack. Senior is unphased and proclaims he is immortal before biting his son in the neck.... And eating him. Even Zulten thought that was messed up. Senior grows, the turbo machines are summoned, and six gazorks are shot down before TR is formed from them combining. TR grabs Senior by the horns only to get mouth flamed followed by getting tentacled. A Turbo Cannon is fired followed by the HS Sword being brought out to end the fight with the Turbo Crash. Farewell ya cannibal. At the beach Dr. Dazai and the Turborangers are happy to see Seelon full of life and hovering around.
