Captain Shark Reviews Gorenger and Beyond!

[Captain Shark]

The fifteenth Dragon Ball Z movie is hitting US theaters today! Here is another Japanese related big hit in the form of part 2!

Episode 4:

The Jetmen train in their jets with Swan struggling. Owl uses a large underside claw like in a claw crane game while the others just go super sonic. Owl drops a rock near Swan and she tries shooting. However, her incompetence nearly kills her and Hawk shoots it for her. Cut to Sky Camp where everyone except Swan passes flight training as she has to take special treatment. Aya mentions about true power being revealed when their machines are together. Swan tells Hawk she was never good with machines because thy are unpleasent. He retorts that they are doing this to fight the Vyram and she needs to stop the princess act. She walks off, but Hawk says she'll be back. At her house she plays piano while still thinking about what Hawk says. Her butler comes in and her maids bring her flower that are presents from someone. Said someone comes into the piano room next and his name is Soichiro. Apparently they are fiances. At Vyrock the four villains bring up how important roads are, much like blood veins. A royal face hugger is spawned (I admit I don't know what these are called, yet) and one absorbs a traffic light which causes havoc around town. During this Swan and Soichiro mention how her parents are in New York when he slips an engagement ring on her. At Sky Camp, everyone but Hawk thinks Swan left for good. After that we see some lovey dovey crap in a fancy yet vacant restaurant with generic babble about marriage, also going to London. Swan isn't entirely sure and rejects his proposal.

Swan mentions how she fights for the planet as a warrior of justice, but Soichiro laughs it off while a highway is being totally destroyed. The two go driving when a bump in the road flips the car in front of them followed by a fissure. Out of it comes Road Dimension and some grinams assisting him. Swan calls in for help and the others glide in seconds later. Soichiro is in disbelief and the others are shocked that he is her fiance. Some bickering occurs and Hawk tells Swan to cast aside her feelings. She replies that she is no warrior and will marry Soichiro. Aya tells the others of the continued Vyram attack and they run off after Hawk says they will wait for her. During the carnage.... The wedding actually takes place. This can't be more than an hour later. Swan starts having regrets until she tells Soichiro she will return for him and that she must fight to protect others. After this we find out he sees people as worms.... WHAT!? She calls herself dumb and scolds him before running off and a kick in the balls. The Jetmen get beaten up and Swan runs over without even transforming. So much so she even steals a motorcycle. After ramming the grinams they all transform- oh hey their pose has their insignia. Swan fights Road Dimension herself before the Bird Bomber is prepared, but Road Dimension grows and Hawk calls the jets. Also they enter via turning into energy trails. Hawk and Condor fire lasers,, Swallow uses her wings as a bladed boomerang, and Owl drops a rock, Swan gets hit before using her weapon and gets downed. Hawk and Condor scare off Road Dimension who goes underground. The episode ends with Swan being unconscious, ending on a cliffhanger. Next episode shows random shots of both sides and the jets in sync.

Episode 5:

After a recap of last episode we find out that Swan cannot move one of her legs out of emotional shock.... Is that a real condition? She scolds herself and Condor tells her to calm down. Her breakdown continues before we see Road Dimension trying to heal his wounds while the Vyram comment about who will beat the Jetmen. Radiguet tells Maria to obey her, but she refuses. After that we see the Jetmen trying to combine their jets into Icarus Harken. Since Swan can't move her right leg and use the pedal they fall out of sync. Grey listens to music on a record player (why is that here?) while loading his right wrist gun and shoots his alcohol glass. Swan moves around in a wheelchair trying to move both her legs as the others watch. This ends with her stumbling and Condor tries to help. Grey shows up to fight with his cannon WHICH HITS THEM AND THEY JUST FALL DOWN. BULLETS DO NOT WORK LIKE THAT. Condor and Swan try going over train tracks just when one comes by and nearly runs them over because the wheelchair. The others are attacked by bricks that turn into a wall formed by Tran via telekinesis.... From a technological glove. Also metal spears are used to increase danger. They finally transform and bust out- wait, if they are already superhuman why couldn't they bust out regularly? Grey catches up to Condor and Swan.

Hawk uses his bringer sword on Tran, but he just teleports all over the place and uses an explosive cape. The others try to help, but Tran just remote controls cars to fight them. Meanwhile, Condor sends a motorcycle into Grey which fails to even slow him down as the dimensional robot shoots him with nonlethal bullets. Somehow he and Swan get away as Grey looks around the abandoned factory- WHY IS HE SMOKING? Did this guy inspire Bender? Also he has X-Ray vision. Swan smacks Condor because of a comments she didn't like I think while Grey busts in with what I think is a shoulder gun. Hawk tries surviving the remote cars and Road Dimension wakes up underground. Hawk is forced off a cliff just as everyone meets up, but Maria also shows up and uses her energy whip on them. Hawk is thrown toward her when he recognizes she is Rie. This makes him open to attack while Road Dimension levitates upward. Hawk catches Swan from falling into a fissure while Maria tries to strangle him. Grinams prevent the others from helping and Swan finally recovers he legs via jumping up and kicking Maria. The Jetmen all transform and pose strike before beating down grunts- oh hey, four shots at once! Road Dimension shows up and the jets are called in by Hawk- wait, do they use tractor beams? Was I wrong about the turning into light thing from last episode? Anyway, Aya tells them to form Icarus Harken and they do so via cross changers in the console. Basically they other four have their jets attach to Hawk's jet. Aya tells them to use the Jet Phoenix to take out Road Dimension and they do so as the Icarus Harken becomes encased in flames, rams through Road Dimension, and makes him explode. The episode ends with everyone except Condor congratulating Swan for making it- Why did she kick Owl in the balls? Next episode shows Radiguet with fangs and the premier of Jet Icarus.

Road Dimension: Powers include burrowing, lasers from three eyes, regeneration, and levitation

Episode 6:

Aya has the Jetmen practice forming Jet Icarus, but Condor acts reckless via going too fast so that fails. Later we see Aya explaining that Jet Icarus is a robot they can use while Hawk and Condor bicker. I feel like these scenes were placed in reverse order. Cut to an apartment building that a royal face hugger merges into the wall and creates tentacles and mouths all over a room. There is a Lovecraft joke in this somewhere. Condor and some chick talk about whatever at an outdoor restaurant. Condor says she will fall in love with him eventually and she replies that he is full of confidence. After that he takes her on a motorcycle ride while the apartment residents get eaten. Turns out the apartment is where she lives and soon the entire place gets in a panic as the Vyram find out Condor is near their monster. He gets tangled up and he calls the others so they head out via their land vehicles. Condor is about to be eaten- YOU ARE SUPERHUMAN DANG IT! AT LEAST TRANSFORM! Hawk manages to save Condor thanks to stair climbing and Toei editing, also shoving a lamp into a giant mouth. Hawk gets grabbed once he and Condor separate, specifically ina wall where Radiguet wants to kill him. He charges with his sword while the others try to find Hawk and the apartment shakes, sending them down at least three stories. It rises to reveal House Dimension. Hawk barely holds his own against Radiguet and Aya says the town will be destroyed by House Dimension at this rate. He aims for a pair of gas tanks and Condor has the jets fly in.

Yup, tractor beams. The four get in while Hawk's jet is on autopilot and they try to form Jet Icarus and by try I mean they do. No fancy introduction pose? Jet Icarus gets pushed back while Radiguet boasts about how everything is ugly and that he will destroy its stupidity. Hawk replies that he will fight for the bright future before an energy string from Radiguet's left arm throws him. Hawk finally bothers to transform to sword fight properly. He cuts Radiguet which causes his fangs to grow and he turns into his true form. Hawk says he is ugly while House Dimension easily fends off Jet Icarus with his arsenal. Condor says they should use missiles, but Swan protests. Condor says they should revert back to the jet machines so House Dimension gets thrown and they form back. Condor jumps out and transforms, heading into House Dimension to help Hawk fight Radiguet. Both use their wing gauntlets, specifically wing beams, to stun Radiguet and jump out of House Dimension to get into their jets. The others finally bother to transform in their cockpits and reform Jet Icarus. Aya sees this as a good thing. Hawk says they will use the true power of Jet Icarus and proceed to punch the hell out of House Dimension. The Jet Lancer is somehow spawned followed by the Shot Puncher which is basically a fast rocket punch. The Birdomic Saber is summoned, is encased in energy, and slices House Dimension, causing him to blow up. After that Aya and the Jetmen having champagne to celebrate their new robot even though Swallow should be took young to drink alcohol. The episode ends with the other villains being amused with Radiguet's defeat. Next episode shows people trapped in a mirror and a white haired old person.

House Dimension: Powers include a chained mace, a right hand hook, and mouth gusts
=================================================
Alright where to start. Aya, basically a standard mentor aside from being female (inspiration for GUTS from Ultraman Tiga?), nothing else really worth noting there. The main heroes, basically just in fighting and disagreements, Owl and Swallow each need two centric episodes since the other three got some (I'll count eps 1 and 6 as Hawk centric since they do revolve mostly around him). Jet Icarus's intro, I dare say the worst mecha intro in the franchise so far. Usually there is either a build up to the main mecha or everyone does a successful combination to capture the glory. Here though? It just seems like "oh it happened" and "we need everyone to make this work!". The villains I am mixed on a bit, why make Rie into Maria? So far she is just a grunt commander while Grey seems like a T-800 knockoff. Radiguet and Tran on the other hand manage to bring the idea that they really are very threatening and could easily beat someone with powers like theirs. Toei editing seems to be pushing stupidity a little bit and for some reason after Swallow joins everyone forgets they are superhuman. Why not use that more? Then there is the "guys it is really dark!" to which I reply "it is a standard tokusatus from the 70s given 90s special effects". People other than me have watched older showa toku series, right? Aside from having kids die on screen this really isn't any different. Hell, Gorenger and JAKQ are still more "dark" than this so far. Oh yeah, I said that, and I mean it. Then there are the costumes: Why do the men have bikini lines on their suits?:laugh:Overall I am being cautious as to where this leads.

John Stewart leaves The Daily Show after tonight! Before we bid farewell here is part 3!

Episode 7:

Some old woman rides a train wanting a seat and tries smacking someone's head for it. Cut to the Jetmen playing tennis because THIS IS A SERIOUS SHOW GUYS! Condor acts as ref and the ball hits the old lady. Hawk goes to check on her and she flips him. After that we find out that it is Hawk's grandma with the other bewildered. She tells him about a marriage arrangement and hands him a photo of the not-Russian mail order bride. His grandpa also slams him for having bad friends and complains about not being married at 27. Swallow mentions him having an accent. After that we see some young boy being sucked into a mirror. At Sky Camp Hawk explains she is beyond stubborn and Aya finds this bad. Some comedy because THIS IS A SERIOUS SHOW GUYS. Owl asks Condor is he has a fever and Swallow mentions Swan being available before being pushed away. At a mall a random woman gets sucked into a mirror and we find out it is a a new monster by the Vyram named Mirror Dimension. Maria mentions that those absorbed get lost in the mirror world forever. After that we see Hawk on a date with the nameless male order bride while his teammates show up in punk clothing like a gangster movie to make him look bad. A scream is hear and the Jetmen investigate with a teenage girl being sent into the mirror world. Hawk gets caught by a long arm, but Owl and Swan manage to throw Mirror Dimension into their world. Haw fights Mirror Dimension and flunks as it.... Teleports off. After that the grandmother makes a feast for the Jetmen and was aware of their attempts. Hawk brings up how she saw him fighting Mirror Dimension and she blows it off saying it is dangerous.

The grandmother spies on Hawk and nameless chick, the latter being aware of how he is a warrior and such. She mentions about her town and how marrying Hawk was her decision. She was almost convinced Swan and him were dating, but he doesn't reply. Mirror Dimension then takes nameless into the water before attacking Hawk who contacts the others. Maria shows up with grinams to make things worse- are those falcatas they're wielding? I know I've seen that blade shape before. The others show up guns a blazing and are about to transform when Maria points out how Mirror Dimesnion has hostages. Mirror Dimension fires at them and Hawk's grandma uses her mirror to reflect a tractor beam at Maria, trapping inside. Okay, that was cool. Mirror Dimension releases everyone inside it while Hawk tells his grandma and- her name was Emiko? They run off and the Jetmen transform to fight. Also mirrors are bouncy enough to reflect projectiles. Everyone dives in to attack the mirror with Owl throwing a rock soon after. This is followed by the Bird Bomber, but that fails as the not-royal face hugger (which I found out are called dimension bugs) makes a new one that is giant sized and Red sends in the jets to form Jet Icarus or JI as I will call it from now on because typing time. Mirror Dimension uses its claws with JI using a hammer to mirror smash. HIRAKI NE NARE! The Birdonic Saber is brought out and terminated Mirror Dimension in a big explosion. The episode ends with Hawk getting a letter from his grandma about how she accepted his work and that Emiko got married before running over to give him more pictures of women up for marriage. Next episode shows a ruby and the women fighting the men.

Mirror Dimension: Powers include mirror traveling, deflecting torso mirror, a tractor beam from the mirror torso, an extendable right arm, eye lasers, and teleportation

Episode 8:

Swan and Swallow got for a car ride in the former's limbo. Swallo complains about fur coats, but is looking forward to seeing diamonds. The men talk about a ruby-like diamond called the bloody diamond that some guy in France wants to auction off. Aya complains that it makes Japanese people look bad because apparently that is the owner's descent. The Vyram want this because THIS IS SERIOUS GUYS. To be serious they just like it. A dimension bug is fused with the diamond. Cut to the women at the auction interacting with a high class man- oh hey that is the diamond's owner. A guard guarding the bloody diamond become hypnotized by the possessed diamond, causing him to become angry and tries to ruin the party, this amuses an elderly couple. Swallow takes off her shoes and beats the guard up. After that the diamond is displayed and grows in size before hypnotizing everyone. Swan and Swallow see everyone acting violent which looks more comedic than serious. Maria shows up in hologram form to mock everyone before Swan and Swallow notice the bloody diamond. They cover it and throw it outside where it becomes Diamond Dimesnion. Swan contacts the others while Swallow gets thrown around. Swallow gets hit by a body beam just as the men show up. She suddenly starts attacking everyone- Wow this scene is over exposed. Cut to Swallow being tied to a chair at Sky Camp- WHEN DID SHE CHANGE CLOTHES!? Toei editing strikes at a new low, ladies and gents! Aya wonders what happened to her as Hawk thinks the bloody diamond has something to do with it. Swan confirms this more or less. The owner is confronted with this and says the diamond is supposedly cursed and came from King Louis XVIII before being taken from him in the French Revolution. Owner switching happened until he got it. Maria shows up to tell the Jetmen that no human can resist the madness.

Diamond Dimension makes people angry around town with more overexposed shots. The men fight Diamond Dimension while Aya and Swan look after Swallow, the latter freaking out to the point of crying. Aya comments that humans shouldn't act like this when Swan gets an idea. Her butler resists doing something and he goes out to collect lots of diamonds from stores as the men have the tar beaten out of them. Swan confronts Swallow at her house and shows her some diamonds before placing them on her lap. After that she brings out more. Her butler comes in and she says get more and they do- wow that case is big. So many diamonds in one place and Swan says they are all the diamonds in Tokyo and she can have them if she snaps out of it. Swan then smacks her and Swallow is back to normal. They head out to the overexposed shot area to help the men. They do this with a combo attack which ends in Diamond Dimension growing. Hawk calls in the jets so Jet Harken, or JH as I will call it from now on, is formed and the Jet Phoenix is executed to destroy him. aria curses the Jetmen while Radiguet patronizes her. Swan comments about how Swallow's greed saved her when she walks over demanding her diamonds. Next episode shows Next episode shows a younger version of Owl and a woman in sunglasses.

Diamond Dimension: Powers include sharp claws and beams from the wrists and head that turn humans berserk

Episode 9:

A security guard checks what I assume is an aprtment store are night when Tran appears from a mirror and places a dimension bug on a sewing machine which gets its own fabric and thread via telekinesis. He tells the guard to wear it because of Vyram fashion as the sewing machine becomes Fashion Dimension. He gets turned into a spiffy yakuza mobster and guns down mannequins because wasting bullets is okay. Cut to Owl squirting shaving cream on his head and Hawk asking what the hell. Owl reveals his friend Satsuki is visiting as he holds up a picture of her. After that we see motorcyclists harassing a cop. Tran tells Fashion Dimension what to do who he himself admits does not get fashion even though it is IN HIS FRIGGIN NAME! The cop gets turned into gangsters too and Tran is amused. Owl waits for his friend to show up as he remembers the day he met. This happened at a town festival mud race where Satsuki told Owl she'll be his bride if he wins a mud race. He manages to win and he has been looking forward ever since. A woman he thinks is Satsuki shows up and he is a bit shocked at first since she looks different being older. They go out to a fancy restaurant. Some talking occurs and he excuses himself and he thinks about spending more. The waiter comes over and says they are out of what they ordered so Satsuki uses a date guide to determine what she wants. During this the Jetmen find out about Fashion Dimension's disturbance (I can't call this a rampage) who causes ninjas to attack civilians. The Jetmen show up and Tran has Fashion Dimension make pirate clothes. The Jetmen are fighting ninjas and pirates at the same time, what awesomeness. Condor tells Hawk not to call Owl because of the once in a lifetime meeting and the women agree. This is followed by Owl and Satsuki walking around the place while some pop song plays in the background. At a bar some guy buys Satsuki a drink and she takes a sip. She dislikes it despite Owl warning her. The Vyram are impressed by Tran's actions before he and Fashion Dimension walk into another dimension.

Owl and Satsuki go to a fountain to rinse the alcohol out of her mouth. Owl then whines about how she turned from small and adorable to.... Not so much now. Wow that was selfish. Also it rains despite being a sunny day and wow does it rain hard. Satsuki jolts off scolding herself when Tran sicks Fashion Dimension on her. Owl looks for her once the rain cleared up and encounters the villains.He transforms and Tran shows him Satsuki in black leather with a sniper rifle. According to Tran she can't miss her target and her laser rifle shoots him. The others glide down and tell him about mind controlling clothes. Tran laughs and Owl says to leave it to him as he rushes forward to get shot. This brings him back to mud racing days. Some slow motion gives Satsuki flashbacks too as Owl acts like a frog. She remembers and the clothes reject her, forcing her off a cliff. Tran does not believe this and Owl tells them humans have a heart. Tran heads off so Fashion Dimension faces the Jetmen. With little effort they manage to beat him up with Owl throwing a bunch of rocks. This causes him to grow large via the dimension bug sensing danger and Hawk calls in the jets so they can combine into JI. The Icarus Hammer bonks him and the Birdonic Saber ends the fight. Owl apologizes to Satsuki who changed her clothes. She asks him to thank Owl unaware he is a Jetman. The episode ends with Owl giving Satsuki a snack before her train ride back to the countryside. Next episode shows cups of ramen selling out and a nerd with glasses and a big book.

Fox's new Fantastic Four is the most critically panned superhero movie to date! Get a proper superhero fix with part 4!

Episode 10:

School kids walk home when Swallow notices some nerd named Tatsuda trying to offer her rare 1983 ramen. She walks away and notes he is a noodle cup geek and her senior. In his house we see his rare treasure for cup noodles. Suddenly a giant noodle cup and tea kettle show up and talks about how everyone should enjoy them. The cup is soon turned into God Noodle. Folks, I literally walked away from this for a bit because this is nonsensical for what is supposed to be a serious sentai series. God Noodle says he chose Tatsuda so he can share his ramen and he does it in return for attention from Swallow. He starts making some because THIS IS A SERIOUS SERIES GUYS. Also he designs cups and God Noodle says he needs hot water to keep himself alive so Tatsuda pours some in his head. Cut to Sky Camp where Owl runs in and tells everyone about a commercial. On it is God Noodle and Tatsuda calling out to Swallow via song while advertising his ramen for only ten yen. The other Jetmen embarrass her about it after that while the villains see people buying these cups. Maria says it should topple their civilization due to over efficiency. God Noodle walks in and changes his face to become Noodle Dimension who comments about manipulation via the stomach. At a theme park we see the commercial song playing while people wait in line for a merry-go-round. In a mirror we see Noodle Dimension stare at a small girl followed by doing the same to a secretary in an office via a screen. Owl also gets stared at. The little girl at the theme park becomes impatient and attacks people followed by the secretary. Condor hears commotion happening at what I assume is a bank and gets punched by an angry woman. He returns the favor via gut punch, knocking her out. Tran explains that the noodles cause victims to be impatient to the point of not waiting even a minute.

Aya tells the Jetmen about the noodle lifeforms and Owl goes berserk before knocking himself out by hitting a wall. Aya thinks it is Tatsuda's noodles and we see the nerd looking at the news finding out his ramen caused a car accident. Noodle Dimension walks in revealing his true self and tells Tatsuda he should be grateful. Swallow barges in an helps him out with a fight leading outside.... Somehow. Good old Toei editing. Noodle Dimension knocks off her cross changer and Tatsuda defends her, soon getting strangled and Swallow getting tied by a giant noodle. Tatsuda then remembers that he needs hot water and takes his tea kettle. Tatsuda goes around the playground nearby while being chased before spilling a good chunk of it- why does this now look overexposed? Swallow gets freed while Noodle Dimension takes his kettle back and refills himself. Owl jumps in while Tatsuda is knocked out from a shock by Noodle Dimension. Swallow transforms just before the others show up and a pose is struck. Owl charges head first only to get thrown. Swallow punches him via the wing gauntlet and he grows big once out of water. Owl calls the jets in because he lacks patience and during the fight Swallow's jet turns into a noodle cup. While she is attacked, Owl picks up a rock to drop and Hawk and Condor fire. The cup is bursted and Swallow's jet escapes, allowing them to form JI. Owl gets tied up for some reason while the fight occurs. The Birdomic Saber is whipped out and destroys Noodle Dimension. Swallow helps out Tatsuda who says he will make a better batch next time which annoys her. Next episode shows Hawk and Swallow drinking soda from a can.

Noodle Dimension: Powers include head noodle tentacles, cured fish boomerang, sesame bombs, shrimp boomerang, cup noodle bombs from the mouth, left arm noodles and right arm fork that emit electric shocks, eye lasers, and mouth beams that entraps objects into noodle cups

Episode 11:

The Vyram view a screen with the Jetmen and Grey complains they aren't doing jack about it. The others throw a fit while he smokes before cutting to the Jetmen at a gym. Anyone else remembering the Final Destination trailers? Condor leaves for a bit, but Hawk complains it is against the schedule and Swallow agrees. Grey has a dimension bug attach to a juice vendor which becomes Vending Machine Dimension. He turns into his vending machine form with the Jetmen getting ddrinks from him. Hawk starts to act lazy after taking a drink followed by Owl. Condor congratulating him when he says they must train more. Owl walks off and Condor feels sad. The women think something is up and drink up, Swan wanting to pay people to fight and Swallow becoming depressed. Vendor Machine Dimension says thank you to them before we cut to the attitude changed Jetmen at Sky Camp. Notably the women get dressed up while Condor keeps doing curls. Hawk notices everyone starts acting strange before getting tired. After that we see Owl hitting on a random woman before getting smacked. Vendor Machine Dimension shows up and Owl calls for help, but everyone save for Condor is uninterested. Owl is chased up a tree because THIS IS SERIOUS GUYS. The others chase him off and Owl complains about not needing help. The Jetmen transform and.... barely fight. Owl goes back to his tree to rest and Swan talks about money. Hawk then attacks for a bit and quits. Condor tells him to stop it because he is the leader, but he shrugs it off. Even a punch won't set him straight and Swallow cries.Vendor Machine follows this up with micro missiles from his torso.

At Sky Camp Aya has everyone analyzed and comes to the conclusion via machines that hidden parts of everyone's subconscious are brought forth. Aya figures out where Vending Machine Dimension was from and after said dimension beasts talks to the villains a bit about what a good job he is doing he goes on a rampage. During this Aya finds Hawk sleeping in a helicopter and tries to snap him out of it. He barely transforms so Aya starts shooting at him. He gets in the chopper she pilots, leaving the others behind who deal with Vendor Machine Dimension. The women bicker and Condor fights him, but flunks. Aya gives Hawk her gun which has quite the explosive bullets. She then tells him to jump, but he won't because of death. The others refuse to help him and Hawk is pushed out the chopper so he can transform. He flies in and fights Vending Machine Dimension and the hits brought everyone back to normal. They transform, strike a pose, and Aya is happy. Grinams roll in only to get slaughtered. Owl sumos with Vendor Machine Dimension before the Bird Bomber is used, but the dimension bug turns his remains giant sized. Hawk summons the jets and has JI formed for combat. JI bonks the can bombs away before ending the fight via the Birdonic Saber. The villains walk away from Grey who can't believe the Jetmen won. Owl is worried that part of him is like Condor while the others cheer him up. Swan apologizes for what happened and Hawk realizes everyone has various personalities to them. Aya finishes this by saying she is very scary, jokingly of course and not in the "I will shoot you" kind of way. Next episode shows Owl and Swan hiking and getting on a bus with tentacles in it.

Vending/Vendor Machine Dimension: Powers include a vendor machine form, sodas that reverse personalities, teleportation, coin and can bombs, torso micro missiles, and eye energy bolts

Episode 12:

At a rural village we see nobody there aside from some skulls. Cut to a bus where Owl and Swan take a short vacation and snack on vegetables to enjoy the countryside. Since Owl is a farmer it would make sense this interests him. When the bus goes through a tunnel everything becomes dark and a passanger turned to foam. The other passangers think he was murdered, but Swan still wonders how that is possible. Owl thinks it is the Vyram and we find out this is one of Tran's plans. Radiguet thinks they should have an experiment. One guy panics and tries to walk away when he is stopped by an old man that happens to be a cop. He says he will arrest anyone that looks suspicious. We find out the bus driver has a cold and the cop says he can retire tomorrow. One guy pulls out a knife near some woman and Owl punches him out. They go through the tunnel again and once out knife guy becomes foam. Some brief panic happens and Owl thinks they must contact the others, but Swan for SOME REASON THINKS THEY SHOULD JUST FIND THE VYRAM FIRST. Owl does the smart thing and point out they might be next while other passangers smoke and drink, respectively. Swan tells him to get a grip. The bus stops and Owl gives a jar back to the woman behind her. She said she doesn't need them because those are sleeping pills and she wants to commit suicide via lake drowning with them because darkness has to be forced in THIS TOTALLY SERIOUS SHOW. She is just glad someone will kill her here and laughs about it. Smoker guy thinks she is the killer when the bus driver stops and runs off. The cop runs off and catches him, pulling his cold mask off and revealing he was a wanted robber and murderer named Okake Ichi. The cop was tracking him for six years and smoker guy says he did the murders, but he denies it. The cop cuffs him to the steering wheel and a tunne is found ahead- WHY IS THE KILLER DRIVING THE BUS INTO IT!?

Everyone save for drinker woman is frightened and hilds hands. On the other side we find the robber is turned to foam and that the bus is moving itself. It nearly runs over a car and upon stopping it spawns intestines from the ceiling. So yeah, it was death by stomach acid. The driver that was nearly ran over becomes entangles by intestines and turns to foam. Grey pours a drink while Tran tells his dimension beast to kill them all. Swan heads back inside to save Owl and transforms. After that the bus becomes Bus Dimension and the others are told by Swan so they scramble the jets. Owl transforms off screen while Bus Dimension causes a landslide. After that the Jetmen tell the others to get to safety and Swan is nabbed. Owl gets the people back while Swan manages to land safely via gliding after being thrown. Hawk and Condor fire lasers at Bus Dimension so Owl and Swan can have their jets' tractor beams pick them up, thus allowing JI to form. Oh hey, a new insert song. Both giants fight in melee combat, JI throws the Jet Dagger to stun Bus Dimension, and it terminates him using the Birdonic Saber. The episode ends with the passengers getting on a new bus and drinker woman thanking Swan for giving her life reason to live again; also Owl apologizing for thinking of doing something smart sooner. No I did not think that cop would have died, that trope joke is dumb. Next episode shows Jetmen wrapped in film and Maria playing the piano.

Bus Dimension: Powers include eye lasers, twin torso whips that emit electric shocks, foot wheels, and a left hand clamp claw



Do not expect more reviews for the next week folks, I have other things to do and I am becoming burned out on sentai.

Kentucky Fried Chicken gets a second Colonel Sanders! Speaking of mentioning tastiness here is part 5!

Episode 13:

Hawk's birthday is celebrated with cake and champagne. He turns 26 which Swallow thinks is old while Owl looks at food I admit looks tasty. Hawk thinks it is good and says Swan will make a great wife some day while Condor gives a blank facial expression. Cut to a model photo shoot, during a break Maria sneaks in and uses a dimension bug to infect the camera. Once they return from break their subject, Saya, disappears. Maria apparently has a photo album with her in it. At Swan's mansion her butler gives her knitting advice about how to move her arms. She stabs herself by accident, but continues- Oh NOW the episode title appears. After that we see Hawk and Condor at a bar, the latter asking the former about Swan. Hawk says they are warriors and that is it, but Condor calls him out- Actually he really doesn't have a case, sure WE know Swan is making a vest for Hawk at this moment, but not only does he not know that, but the two have shown no signs of affection for each other. Condor then brings up that he never loved anyone when he remembers his former teammate before she became Maria. Condor storms off while Hawk gets flashbacks- Wow, really? Imitation bullfighting? And is Hawk drinking milk? Also Rie was a good piano player. Hawk wishes he could hear her piano playing one more time. After that we see some random people being teleported away via camera shoots into Maria's photo album, all this from Camera Dimension. Maria comments that the Jetmen will be in her album and remembers the promise that whoever beats the Jetmen becomes the leader. Radiguet acts like a creep while Grey plays the piano. Tran thinks it is weird since he is a robot and Grey walks off. Some weird zoom is given to the instrument before Maria starts playing. This goes on for a while.

Swan gives Hawk his birthday present which turns out to be the red vest she made. Hawk says he can't accept it and hands it back to her. Swan leaves saddened and Owl yells at him. Hawk thinks about how he can't forget Rie as we see Condor going after Swan who breaks down crying. He yells that she should fall for him and tries kissing her only to get rightfully slapped. Grinams lead by Maria show up and attack while Owl tells Swallow how bad that must have felt. Also, Condor does another crotch grab. Grey tries playing the piano while Camera Dimension enters the battle himself. Condor swings like Tarzan and kicks him down before telling Swan this is too much for them. Maria starts whipping them before Condor FINALLY BOTHERS TO CONTACT HIS TEAMMATES. Aya tells them to move out and they do so. The grinams throw Swan just as Camera Dimension beats up Condor. Things get bad as the two become injured just when the others show up to slay the grunts. Owl throws Camera Dimension Getter 3 style while Maria catches Swan so Camera Dimension can use his lens beam. She vanishes after that and the others panic while Maria shows them her photo album upon laughing. She says she won't come back and Grey finishes playing the piano. Next episode shows Grey missing his right arm and a new bazooka.

Episode 14:

After a recap of last episode we see the Jetmen is mourning of Swan with Godfather music in the background. Condor blames himself and Hawk tells him to calm down. Cut to Vyrock where Maria says her victory was awesome while Radiguet says he is still superior. Maria tells him to watch before walking off as Grey stares at her. Meanwhile, Camera Dimension goes after random people- Actually I just noticed all his victims so far are women aside from a groom. Maria might have jealousy issues! Condor shows up to confront Camera Dimension and Maria, demanding to know how Swan can be freed. He even begs for Swan back only to be kicked down. Maria says he will teach him manners when the others show up to see him beg. Hawk tells him she won't listen. Maria tells Condor to give her Hawk's head when he flashbacks to last episode where Swan smacked him. Hawk tries yelling at him while Aya says they might disband form this. Camera Dimension uses his flash beam to attack- NOW THEY'RE BACK AT SKY CAMP!? HOW DID THEY ESCAPE! Aya shows them blueprints of Camera Dimension on a screen (where would she get those?) as said dimension beast is causing havoc around presumably Tokyo. Things go boom and Maria comments how the Jetmen will lose when they glide in. Camera Dimension guns them down and the lens beam is tries only for the Bird Bomber to stop it. Grey pops in and attacks them with his shoulder cannon. The lens beam hits Owl and Swallow, causing them to disappear and have Hawk and Condor run off. Maria asks Grey why he helped and he replies with saying he likes her piano playing. After that the two work on the Jet Striker (Hawk's go cart) to work on something. Condor complains and Aya says it is their only hope. Maria appears on the TV screens and fire hubcaps just to taunt them as well as place fire near her photo of Swan. Condor goes off and Aya tells Hawk to complete the new weapon called the Fire Bazooka.

Condor uses his Jet Speeder to show up at the quarry and gets blasted. Maria and Camera Dimension show up, the latter tangling him in film strips before being kicked. Maria shows her photo again, stopping him. Grinams show up to cause a hassle while Maria whips him around. During this Hawk continues working until the Fire Bazooka is completed. Camera Dimension is about to use his lens beam - Oh crap he succeeded! Just as Hawk showed up too! He brings in the Fire Bazooka and ignores Maria's warning as he asks his teammates to believe in him. The lens beam and Fire Bazooka both launch, the latter beating out even Grey's armor as his right arm is blown off. Maria loses her album and all the entrapped people make it out. The civilians head for safety and the others transform to strike a pose before terminating grunts. Grey fights Hawk one on one which is pretty even. Swan and Swallow go after Maria and beat her up while Condor and Owl beat up Camera Dimension in a combo called the Howling Attack. Hawk then summons the Jet Bazooka and all five of the Jetmen launch a phoenix at Camera Dimension. He blows up, but the dimension bug survives and makes a giant version followed by Hawk calling the jets, the Jetmen beaming up, and forming IH (I did mention Icarus Harken would be shortened, didn't I?). Jet Phoenix is used on Camera Dimension, blowing him to pieces. After that Condor proceeds to throw rocks in a pond while the others thank him. Hawk says he didn't do it alone and Swan says she loves Hawk. Condor becomes jealous and rides off in his Jet Speeder. He crashes due to anger and what I assume is a leak with the gas tank. Grey reattaches his arm and carries off Maria while piano music plays in the background. Next episode shows Swallow fighting and jogging.

Camera Dimension: Powers include photo entrapment via lens beam, camera possession, entangling film strips from the hands, a left hand machine gun, and head flash beams

Episode 15:

Some choir students including Swallow sing in German. After that Swallow mentions they will mention soome context when her teacher says she sings out of tone. After class she talks to her friends about still looking forward to singing in an opera. She then remembers she has to meet up with the Jetmen, but promises to show up for the next practice. Little is anyone aware that Voice Dimension is stalking school girls and modifies their voices by absorbing them into himself. This causes them to sound like broken records. Voice Dimension then steals the voices of a crowd of girls fawning over some guy, commenting on how tasty they are. Maria says women have energy that keeps them talking forever, commenting on them being foolish. Yeah, Hindus call that energy Shakti. Radiguet calls them primitve and Tran says they talk about nonsense. Maria reveals she will turn their voices into super sonic weapons before cutting to Swallow practicing the German song. One of her friends waltzes in when her cross changer beeps. Her friend asks if anything is wrong when we get a flashback of Swallow giving her friend, Kyoko, a birthday present, but is nervous about something. That day Swallow's dog, Hona, passed away and she kept it a secret. Kyoko says they can celebrate another time and that they pinky sweared to not keep secrets. After the flashback she runs off as we see girnams herding girls so Voice Dimension can absorb their voices. This allows him to test his super sonic waves and WOW DO BUILDINGS GO BOOM. The Jetmen show up to take out the grinams, but Voice Dimension stuns them. Maria shows up to taunt them and confirm their plan. After that Voice Dimension destroys some buildings and goes after Kyoko with Swallow fighting him. She can't transform infront of Swallow because.... Her voice gets absorbed and Voice Dimension teleports away.

Swallow tries to make Kyoko feel better as she is depressed. Swallow blames herself for not transforming (no duh) and promises to help her.... By going out and yelling for the Vyram to giver her voice back- THEY REPEATED THE EXACT SAME THING LAST EPISODE! Soon her voice gets deep and Camera Dimension shows up to fight, now at full power. Swallow transforms with Kyoko watching and the others show up, Hawk noticing what happened to her. Aya shows up as Swallow jogs off for at least an hour given how the sun is now setting. After that we see the Jetmen thinking about why Voice Dimension doesn't want men voices and that gives Owl an idea. The next day Voice Dimension is down on power and tries taking the voice of a geisha at a river. Upon waking up it turns out the geisha is Owl who yells at his face, overloading his power and giving voices back- Wait a second, did this episode just prove men have stronger voice magic than women? Owl takes his disguise off and Swallow tells him off about only eating what is tasty followed by Hawk kicking him. Swallow tries to do the same, but it doesn't work. Aya has Kyoko show up to tell her she is okay with her being a Jetman, restoring confidence or something. This is followed by transforming and a pose with grinams being beaten up, mainly by Swallow's wing gauntlet. She then goes after Camera Dimension and flips around in over exposed shots, making him dizzy until she punches him. Hawk calls in Jet Striker to become Fire Bazooka which fires a phoenix at him, but the dimension bug survives and makes a giant version of him. Hawk has the jets appear, the Jetmen are beamed up, and JI is formed. Voice Dimension uses super sonic waves again until the Shot Puncher blasts his face and the Birdomic Saber ends the fight. With the fight over Swallow's choir participates in the contest with Swallow going out for duty in her Jet Speeder. Next epiosde shows a girl with an ocarina.

Voice Dimension: Powers include voice absorption, super sonic waves from the left arm, a right arm gun, teleportation, and a left arm chain

Episode 16:

Hawk mentions some pictures and photos being gone with Aya showing photos to the Jetmen that they had objects cropped out. This happened to some famous artist named Shuichiro Mabuki with Hawk mentioning his daughter as a subject for his paintings. Snow starts falling and the Jetmen have suspicions. Around town pictures have objects in them that come to life and attack people. Also paper attacks kids. At Vyrock we find out this is Tran's doing as he thinks controlling paper will take down human civilization. The Jetmen get attacked by replicas of toys controlled by Paper Dimension. He tries attacking the Jetmen, but a girl on a swing plays on ocarina which hurts Paper Dimension. The men then smack the hell out of Paper Dimension before Tran shows up laughing and telekinetically throws a rock at the girl. Paper Dimension teleports off and the girl disappears. Tran scolds Paper Dimension even though he says his powers don't work on her. After that the Jetmen roam around the city to find her with Hawk spotting her. Ocarina girl just keeps moving around with the others showing up once she gets to a theme park. Hawk thinks she is trying to recover memories as she rides a merry-go-round. Hawk recognizes her as the daughter of the artist mentioned earlier. Cut to the Jetmen taking her to the hospital room her father is being kept in. She hugs her dad while he is unconscious, mumbling about an ocarina in his sleep. Swan asks the doctor about his family and he doesn't know any. Swan mentions that his daughter died two years earlier in a car accident. This is written in the artists words mentioning her mom dying while she was young and we see the car accident was caused by SOME IDIOT NOT LEASHING THEIR F**KING DOG. This is a side note, but it is a huge pet peeve of mine when pet owners take their big animals and NOT HAVE THEM UNDER CONTROL! Anyway, his daughter died after he gave her an ocarina- her name is Shizuko? The artist goes into cardiac arrest and the nurse has them leave the room. Owl thinks Paper Dimension unintentionally brought her to life, but has no control over her because of her heart- Oh for the love of frick. Speaking of Shizuko, she finds the real ocarina in her room and is soon met by grinams lead by Paper Dimension.

The grinams chase her down and restrain her, but Hawk rides his motorcycle and shows up to fight. This does not go well as he is thrown around, even slamming through a stone duplicate of The Thinker. The others show up just in time so Hawk and Shizuko make it to the hospital. Once she is in the room she starts playing it. This causes the artist to tear up and wake up. Hawk rushes back to the fight as his teammates get beaten up. For some reason they now transform instead of earlier, but the strike a pose so it is good now. After a sentimental moment at the hospital the bringer swords are used on Paper Dimension, but before the Bird Bomber can be used, Tran mentions Shizuko will disappear if he is killed. This allows Paper Dimension to keep fighting until Shizuko starts playing the ocarina. Paper Dimension guns her down and Hawk holds her in his arms as she smiles and disappears. He holds up the ocarina and expresses rage before dueling with Paper Dimension one on one. Both are evenly matched until the Fire Bazooka is brought in and takes him down. The dimension bug survives and grows, forcing Hawk to call the jets and form JI. The Jet Dagger is used, but Paper Dimension teleports around. The Birdomic Saber is brought out and uses electricity to flush him out before he is sliced and blown to pieces. The episode ends with the paintings restored (and presumably other objects) with Hawk smiling she made her father happy. Next episode shows the empress of the Vyram appearing with her throne.

Paper Dimension: Powers include creating life from paper, entangling shoulder strings, teleportation, a right hand gun, a left hand energy whips, and explosive paper snow

Episode 17:

In the Back Dimension (which looks like a Jackson Polluk) the Vyrock has electricity coming from it. In it we see Radiguet electrified and terrified that "it" is coming, concerning the others. Cut to a swimsuit shop that the women are shopping in, forcing the men to be bored. Condor eventually takes Swan by the hand and storms off into an elevator. The others are barely able to follow. Condor wanted to talk to Swan while Swallow talks about her liking Hawk. At a quarry a comet crashes, revealing a stone of electrical energy that causes an EMP surge across the city. This causes the Jetmen to be stuck in an elevator and even shorts out Sky Camp's equipment. Condor tells Swan men are like wolves and talking ensues. The others think Condor is making some moves, but Hawk tells them to calm it. Owl mumbles about being dumb and how he wants to protect her. He bangs in his elevator, but neither of them hear him. Condor brings up Hawk and how he is stubborn and boring, Swan rightfully tells him off. The lights turn on and the elevators open. Owl gets concerned when Aya contacts them about the comet (subs call it a meteor) and orders them to investigate. Radiguet heads to the stone with caution as it says it is his mother, a creator and destroyer of civilizations. He thinks it is Empress Juza and the Jetmen arrive. Owl wants to know what he's doing and he tells them to bug off as the stone opens up to reveal Empress Juza. She uses her staff to fire a red beam at the Jetmen.

The Vyram greet the empress on Vyrock with Maria wondering who the hell she is. Radiguet says she is their ruler before Empress Juza addresses them. Radiguet says they feared they lost her in the previous war which she mentions was long as hell and why they go out conquering other dimensions. She erased her presence and went to sleep before gaining new power as something is attached to her left shoulder. She wants Earth to go to Hell and have humanity suffer so she forms a bunch of holograms around Tokyo and fires forehead beams that constrict humans at random. Tran says he is bummed Empress Juza is alive with Radiguet mentions he wants to get rid of her. He mentions the Semimaru which is a demonic beast and what is on her shoulder. According to him Empress Juza wants to give birth to it (how do you do that with a parasite on your body?). This demonic beast is strong enough to destroy the Earth in a second as we see the victims of the forehead beam have crystals growing out of their bodies- OH WOW THAT IS GRUESOME! The Semimaru starts growing and we can see an egg shape forming. The Jetmen show up and she calls them vermin before attacking. Hawk attacks first, but that fails. The rest get beaten up and Condor is hit with her forehead beam. Radiguet shows up with his sword and attacks the others- AND NOW THE VILLAINS RETURN TO VYROCK, NICE EDITING THERE, TOEI! Radiguet plays suck up before trying to stab her, but her staff stops him via telekinesis. She becomes ghost-like before turning into a demon beast. She fires eye lasers that send Radiguet flying around. She gives him the harshest punishment by making him a human, living among vermin. Meanwhile, Condor has a crystal growing from his left arm and the others are horrified. Some woman walking her dog in the quarry finds Radiguet unconscious while Condor ha more crystals growing out of him as the episode ends with him screaming and running. Next episode shows Radiguet back to normal and Condor's arm back to normal.

Episode 18:

After a recap of last episode, the pet owner takes Radiguet to her home where he wakes up to her and her mom. He apparently has amnesia before we cut to Condor running with Swan trying to get him to stop. A crystal pokes out of his next followed by seeing Radiguet beg for his memory back from pet girl as she enjoys orange juice in a fancy glass watching the sea. After that they go out motorcycle riding to an actual beach rather than a cliff. Pet girl says she hasn't had that much fun in ages while Radiguet says he thinks he needs to do something important. She shows him a seashell and mentions making wishes with them followed by wishing for his memories back before throwing it into the water. She collapses in slow motion and at her place the doctor says she isn't doing well. Her mom confirms she has been like this for half a year. "But Captain Shark she said six months not half a year!" They're the same thing. Meanwhile, Empress Juza torments more citizens as the Semimaru grows from human pain. The Jetmen demand they return Condor to normal only to get blasted. Condor jumps in only to get smacked followed by him witnessing a human turning into a crystal entirely. During this Radiguet stands by pet girl as she wakes up and asks why she didn't wish for herself. She replies that she didn't want him to be sad. Radiguet follows this by saying good people should not die and tells her not to. Electric guitars are not great for sad moments. The others try to find Condor, Swan spots him under a tree dying. She tells him not to die because making parallels like this makes stories.... Actually I don't know exactly. Condor says he is scared and does not want to die, being unable to do anything does not help any. He manages to limp away before turning into a crystal himself, causing Swan to cry.

Maria is PO'd the others are obeying Empress Juza while Radiguet and pet girl play bat-mitten. She calls him a strange gift while they rest. They hug and Radiguet quips he not longer cares about his past. During this Empress Juza laughs at construction workers in suffrage which causes Radiguet pain. The Jetmen minus Condor show up in their vehicles, not transformed for some reason. They attack head on and flunk while Radiguet shows up somehow and remembers his former leader. Pet girl asks what is wrong and he pushes her aside. Once Hawk transform he remembers the fight from episode 6 and his treachery last episode. He pronounces his name and position as Vyram Count. He gets on a motorcycle and kicks her before turning back to his old form, terrifying pet girl as he attacks his former master. He gets a slash in and the Jetmen are puzzled. Maria looks on with hope and Radiguet says to aim for her forehead crystal. They do so via bird blasters followed by Swan breaking it with her bringer sword which causes Condor (and presumably everyone else) to be free of the crystal attack and form. Empress Juza finds this unforgivable and turns into her true form. The area goes to a quarry with the rest of the Vyram attacking her too followed by Condor coming out of his jet and transforming. His bringer sword impales her in the gut and he scissor kicks her head. He's no Black RX, but he'll do. Hawk brings in the Fire Bazooka and it fires a phoenix which blows Empress Juza to smithereens- No, wait, she somehow gets to a rocky shore. Semimaru is being born as its egg falls off her shoulder. Radiguet throws her sword at her neck which causes her to disintegrate (and his sword too). He picks up to Semimaru while pet girl begs for him to become human again as well as confess her love. He calls it ridiculous that he would have such feelings- Oh hey his sword is back. He throws some blue energy at her that does I don't know because we cut away with Semimaru hatching- D'AWE HE'S ADORABLE. Radiguet tells him to grow fast into the greatest destructive beast there is. He Pokemon fans, does this remind you of Larvesta/Volcorona? Next episode shows Swan fighting and everyone else trapped in a foggy dimension.

Empress Juza: Powers include a traveling stone that can cross dimensions, a staff that fires energy beams, a forehead beams that cause crystal growth, holograms, teleportation, a left hand gun, shockwaves from the right hand, mouth flames, matter phasing, and eye lasers that cause enemies to levitate and morph into other lifeforms or become explosive

Episode 19:

The Jetmen minus Condor enjoy an amusement park until a speaker disguised as a mask invites them to a fortuneteller named Lilika. Once they walk in- Wow that face is pale. Lilika gives a prediction which spooks them, mentioning Swan a doll crying. Cut to her mansion where her butler finds that weird, but they will continue the dinner party for that day. When she opens a room she calls- His name is Jiya? There is a crying doll on a chair, but it turns out to be a leak. This unsettles her and Jiya remembers Swan when she was little when he taught her manners. The phone rings, Lilika being on the other line mentioning a car coming for her before hanging up. Shortly after she avoids getting into her white limbo and as she walks around some kid on a small rideable car nearly bumping into her. As she walks through town a sign nearly falls on her, causing her to knock over a pay phone Lilika mumbles over. Swan runs around frightened when her cross changer has Lilika talking to her. At Vyrock we see Grey playing tarot because he is swuave and Maria is revealed to be Lilika. Jiya checks out from the leak from earlier and sees it was pierced from a tarot card that disappears. Swan faces Maria in her fortuneteller form which causes her to be in a trance in future events. She gets hit with a grinam during combat (despite how her suit would takr the hit fine) and Maria runs up to her and impales her through the gut, ending with her in a coffin with white flowers. Swan then faints with her butler waking her up with people watching. Maria laughs- wait, Lilika was really Prediction Dimension? Dang it they sounded so similar!

Condor checks up on Swan who is in a robe.... making tea? He takes her for a motorcycle ride to the area where the fight was in the prediction. Grinams show up just as Swan runs off lead by Prediction Dimension. She manages to rush home THAT FAST and Jiya mentions that Hawk was trying to reach her on her cross changer. Prediction Dimension tells the others she predicted Swan wouldn't help them and predicts their doom is at hand. She teleports a manhole that emits energy strings and restrains them followed by being sealed in a cylinder. This teleports them to a foggy dimension where fire is spewed from above and four grim reapers appear. Swan starts thinking about what to do when Jiya pops in to attack her with a kendo wood sword and oni mask in an attempt to light a fire under her. The others, who haven't transformed for some reason, are unable to hurt the reapers who then turn to skeletons (or were they skeletons and they just ditched their robes?). Swan uses a stick to bust the clay mask and her butler compliments her strength. Just as prediction dimension is about to win, Swan appears with a kendo sword and smacks her, freeing the others. They now bother to transform despite Prediction Dimension warning Swan. More grinams show up and the Jetmen beat the tar out of them followed by Swan going after Prediction Dimension. The Fire Bazooka is soon brought out and blows her to pieces with the dimension bug even disintegrating before it can grow. Radiguet comments that he will beat the Jetmen as Semimaru grows and munches on what I assume is carrion. The episode ends with the Jetmen dressed up aside from Swallow to attend a fancy dinner while Jiya is happy. Next episode shows Condor posing as a groom.

Prediction Dimension: Powers include human disguise, teleporting razor tarot cards, a crystal ball for foresight, a pocket dimension with grim reapers, teleportation, and lightning and fire cards that can grow one meter tall

Episode 20:

Some wedding is being done when a vacuum with teeth causes the bride to lose interest in her husband and walk off. The little sister of the bride tries finding her and sees the same thing happening to another wedding. Condor notices this nearby and saves the small girl, Michiru, from being ran over by a truck (with his arms). Michiru mentions the vacuum cleaner before she shows Condor photos of the wedding (after buying her a burger). Apparently the cancelled wedding happened a weak earlier (NICE TIME SKIP BRAH!) and has been trying to find her ever since. Condor storms off not wanting to help as we see a traditional Japanese wedding where the bride loses her heart to the vacuum too followed by a bunch of others leaving a church all at once and we discover the culprit is Vacuum Cleaner Dimension. Cut to Sky Camp where the Jetmen talk about it and on the TV Michiru threatens to jump unless Condor shows up. If you have vertigo be warned of this scene. The Jetmen show up and Condor tells her to leave him alone. We find out her sister was at her home the whole time (THE SUPIDITY IN THIS HURTS) and Michiru tries to get through to her with the Jetmen watching. Condor tries to hit on her, but she isn't interested. Condor wonders about it and Owl replies that he lacks shame. Condor thinks the vacuum mentioned might have something to do with it. At Vyrock we see Vacuum Cleaner Dimension acting weary while Tran confirms that he feeds on human love because it is tasty, especially marriage. The basic plan is to prevent reproduction which falls apart when you consider coitus does not require marr- Screw it. Also, Why Japan? Their reproduction rates are in the toilet, shouldn't they be aiming for a place like China or India? Tran calls love humanity's biggest mistake as the villains laugh save for Radiguet who watches Semimaru grow as it spawns a shell. Condor spots Vacuum Cleaner Dimension's vacuum head and goes after it, eventually grabbing it. Fighting ensues and Condor gets punched out before getting gunned down by non-lethal bullets. The others show up with Michiru watching. Vacuum Cleaner Dimension forms hurricane force winds from his mouth.

Michiru and Condor bicker because Vacuum Cleaner Dimension just left for no reason. Swan asks Condor to consider Michiru's feelings and he refuses. Also Swan claims she likes him- Horse manure, she showed no signs. At Sky Camp they try to help him heal and Swallow says stealing love is unforgivable. Aya comes up with an idea. Condor and Swallow appear to form aa real marriage to lure out Vacuum Cleaner Dimension. Swallow is nervous because it is her first kiss and Michiru interrupts the ceremony saying she doesn't want Condor to marry. The others attack Vacuum Cleaner Dimension only to get blown away. Somehow Michiru is not affected and Vacuum Cleaner Dimension consumes the love of Michiru.... Meaning Swan was right. Condor throws a fit and goes after Vacuum Cleaner Dimension who is at a park. Grinams show up and Condor transforms during a slow motion walk. He fights on and beats Vacuum Cleaner Dimension to a pulp while some insert song plays in the background. The dimension bug falls off after he explodes and becomes big, Condor tries jumping up only to get gusted. JI shows up to knock him down and Condor gets in via tractor beam. The Jetmen transform and JI continues fighting with a naginata which I think is the Jet Lancer. The Icarus Crusher (a chained mace the ranger wikia does not mention for some reason) is caught by Vacuum Cleaner Dimension's head and a surge is used, blowing him up and returning love to everyone. The episode ends with Michiru and her nameless sister being back to normal and Michiru saying she wished she was born ten years earlier for Condor. Next episode shows a kid with a teddy bear and Swallow fighting Maria.

Vacuum Cleaner Dimension: Powers include an extendable hose head, love consumption, a right hand gun, mouth gusts, and a sword

Episode 21:

Some middle school girl throws her teddy bear away for the garbage truck while Semimaru goes into a cocoon state. Tran steals on of Maria's dimension bugs and has it absorb trash at the dump including the bear that was thrown out. In a flashback we see the bear was named Poohtan and.... Wow this has forced emotions. Middle school girl even remembers it to the point of daydreaming in class. Trash Dimension goes around town calling itself Poohtan, but instead of scaring people he just smells bad. THIS SERIES IS TOTALLY SERIOUS YOU GUYS! He accidentally breaks a boy's- Wait, that is JI! Now granted, military vehicles have toys all the time, in-universe this means more than just being a shameless ad. Trash Dimension reforms it into JH, but his mom throws it because diseases (what is washing?). He spots a car in bad shape and even restores it to new, but the driver is too scared to thank him. The townspeople then throw trash at him to make it tragic. Tran laughs at this and Maria wonders what the hell he is doing so she goes out and bonks him. Middle school girl shows up to see Trash Dimension suffering- WAIT A SECOND, THAT IS SWALLOW!? BUT THAT ISN'T HER REGULAR UNIFORM! Swallow and Maria fight until the others show up, forcing her to retreat. Trash Dimension finds a bell among his debris and Swallow confirms it is Poohtan upon asking. She just walks off because editing and the fact he stinks. Swallow tells him she is not his mom, but he doesn't buy it. She manages to lose him in a park until he spots her near a tree. Trash Dimension collapses from a lack of food so Swallow takes him to a junk yard. The guy managing the place says he is impressed with scientific advances of trash talking as he proceeds to consume trash. For only a hundred yen an hour he allows Trash Dimension to work fo him. Cardboard boxes get thrown from a fence containing new stuff because nobody wants them so Trash Dimension uses his restoration beam to throw them back. He gets angry and scares the two men dumping the boxes off, but grabs their car.

At Sky Camp Swallow returns with a bad odor while Trash Dimension sleeps with pictures of when she loved him. These emotions are forced. Some guy gets a bulldozer to take down his home and it turns out to be the two guys from earlier. The junk yard's owner scares them off and tries to find Trash Dimension. The next day he walks around and is sad he did nothing wrong. Maria appears and says humans themselves are trash (technically she isn't wrong). She tells him to get his revenge and she turns him giant sized complete with gremlin teeth and ears. Instead of restoring things his left eye beam now fries humans with only their bones and clothes remaining. He bashes some buildings with the Jetmen and junk yard owner seeing him. Swallow tries to appeal to him by saying she is his mom. Hawk gets her away from a laser barrage which breaks her heart. The jets launch and assault Trash Dimension, Swallow not in hers for some reason. She eventually transforms and gets in her jet. They soon form JI to fight him- I just noticed JI has bombs painted on the back of its lower legs. Was this an oversight? JI gets busted up and Swallow heads out to save a random girl with a bear that is about to be crushed by rubble. Trash Dimension hears her cry for her mom and a bell on her bear which causes Trash Dimension to remember his old life. He cries and the child is freed from the rubble while Swallow passes out. I like how he says momma yet the subs say mommy. He goes back to human size and saves Swallow. Maria jumps down and stabs him in the gut. He disintegrates and Swallow fights Maria herself in a sword fight which is actually well done. The others show up just as Marian teleports off. Later that day a funeral at the junkyard is given for Poohtan, but the two brats from earlier dump their boxes to spoil it- wait, it is over? Nice way to end this trashy! Next episode shows Semimaru coming out of his cocoon and Hawk and Condor fighting in a pond.

Trash Dimension: Powers include body trash throwing, a telekinetic beam from the left eye, mouth acid mist, and a right hand gun
=================================================
Most of what I said still applies except Swallow got some more episodes. Owl is pretty much reduced to comic relief unfortunately. The writing seems to be doing better, especially with the Vyram's back story, although it isn't the level of darkness people say it is just yet. The Toei editing on the other hand has gotten to Liveman levels of bad, adding forced emotions really does not help it any. Having the Fire Bazooka form from the Jet Striker seems creative and.... That is it, more opinions will come later.

Episode 22:

Condor plays a sax at a club while thinking about when Swan told Hawk she loved him some odd eps back. Hawk walks in wanting milk because Dragon Ball reference I guess. Condor wonders why he came and Hawk replies that he knows he loves Swan. Condor remarks that he only cares about the Jetmen. Cut to Vyrock where Semimaru is in a cocoon with Radiguet mentioning his beating heart. Once the Jetmen are slain Radiguet will have everything he wanted.... Meaning before this invasion of Earth he had no goals in life at all, good to know. Swan has dinner and pretends Hawk is on the other side of the table until Jiya brings her the phone. On the other end is Condor who wants to meet up at a place called the Zeldan the next day. Hawk calls soon after before we see the next day where Swallow meets up with Condor, saying Swan couldn't come because she is having a picnic with Hawk (although she doesn't tell him that part). Owl meets Swallow and Condor at a restaurant, causing the latter to want to leave. Hawk and Swan stop by Rie's grave where he gives her tombstone flowers and reveals she was the only woman he ever loved. Swan starts crying, insert episode 1 flashback here. Other flashbacks include Christmas shopping, boat rowing, bike riding, and dating under a tree. Owl and Swallow enjoy their food while Condor is annoyed. They accidentally mention Hawk and Swan going out which annoys Condor. After that Swan avoids Hawk and goes home.

That night Condor spots Swan outside her home crying and embraces him. After that the two go swinging and Swan thanks Condor for being nice to her, commenting that she should have fallen for him. Condor mentions "you will" once she leaves. Meanwhile, Semimaru's cocoon glows red- And we go back to Sky Camp because why show interesting things? Swan mentions to Hawk she will dig out Rie's memories and comments about being vindictive with a smile. I looked this word up on Dictionary.com, basically it is a fancy word for revenge. Our heroes, folks! Condor walks in soon after saying Hawk is a workaholic when he sees a concert ticket.... Which he takes. The next day the camera is over exposed while Owl and Swallow are training in martial arts under Hawk while Condor and Swan head meet up, the latter not expecting him. Condor tears up the ticket while Semimaru punctures Semimaru's cocoon. This is followed by Hawk and Condor fighting each other because scene transition is not consistent in this series. The fight goes into the pond where they punch and talk about feels and whatnot. Noticeably some shots are still over exposed, mainly the water reflection, as Swan tries yelling at them to stop. Owl tries to stop Condor only to get punched, but retaliates with wrestling. Maria shows up to cause explosions and attack with Tran and Grey showing up claiming they'll beat the Jetmen. The scene then goes to a construction area before they transform and fight. Condor fights Grey who just throws him around. Owl throws objects at Tran only for telekinesis to get the better of him followed by Hawk unable to hit him. Maria fights the women, beating them to a pulp. Maria says this is their end when Vyrock appears in the sky and Radiguet spawns red lightning from Semimaru's cocoon to shock is allies. Hawk tells them to retreat while Radiguet says the Jetmen are Semimaru's prey as electricity spawns from the cocoon. The episode ends with a claw emerging from the organic sac. Next episode shows the destruction of JI and premier of Jet Garuda.

Episode 23:

A city is in ruins as we see three people launching a machine called Bird Garuda from atop a hill. Once it launches we see Hawk working out at a gym- YOU GUYS DO REALIZE THE VYROCK IS OUT THERE WITH A MONSTER BEING BORN, RIGHT!? Aya finds it strange for Hawk to be training while he thinks about Swan. Cut to the Vyrock where Semimaru's arm is still all that is out of the cocoon. Radiguet tells the others to kneel while the devil is being born as it starts emitting lightning- And now we're at the bar where Condor is spacing out thinking about Swan CAN NOBOY SCENE TRANSITION PROPERLY IN THIS SERIES!? Two women try cheering him up and flunk. During this Owl and Swallow chow down on ramen bowls, the latter saying she has high standards for a man. Semimaru hatches from his cocoon to resemble a devil and Radiguet says he has everything he wants. Instead of something worth a darn we see Swan practicing the violin and remembering the previous day or two because WHAT TIME IS IT!? First person to say Adventure Time gets a roundhouse kick to the genitles. Hawk comes over and tea is prepared. Swan apologies for missing training because she is in pain. Hawk approaches her and says they are warriors. Insert it is their duty speech here. Swan tells him they are not robots which stuns him before an explosion is heard outside and sure enough it is the Vyrock flying down. Semimaru becomes a giant and gets sent down as a comet.Aya tells the Jetmen about his appearance. Don't you love it when a giant devil walks through a city not destroying things? Well eventually he does and things go boom before the jets take off.

JI is formed and stares down Semimaru before the Icarus Crusher is used, but sliced at the chain. The Shot Puncher follows, but Semimaru throws it back at them, causing JI to knock over. After that he walks over and JI brings out the Birdonic Saber only for it to be caught via fingers and sliced in half with a chop. A pair of telekinetic bolts from his eye throws JI around before he karate chops JI's arms off. Aya calls for Hawk and Condor while Radiguet says this is their end. Semimaru is about to use the sliced Birdonic Saber when the Bird Garuda shows up, using the Garuda Vulcan- vulcans are machine guns not missiles! Did they seriously not know what specific weapons are called!? EPIC FAIL. The pilots tell the Jetmen they are from another dimension that fight the Vyram. Bird Garuda uses an imprisoning lightning beam called the Fire Blizzard to keep Semimaru frozen because WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF NAMING THINGS!? At Sky Camp the three pilots say they used Vyram technology to fight them and wants to work together with the Jetmen. Owl seems excited. Condor says he wants out when Aya tells him the Vyram are getting stronger and that JI will take a long time to fix. One of the pilots lifts Swallow's skirt because that is a first greeting thing on his world. Another confirms it isn't while Semimaru busts out of the ice block. This is seen on the monitor and the pilots head out in Bird Garuda which becomes Jet Garuda. Owl finds it cool as the two giants face off. A flying kick called the Burst Kicker fails them, but Jet Garuda goes in claw happy. This allows Semimaru to throw it into a building and use his psychic shockwaves from his palms. The pilots use the Garuda Burst aka a not-Breast Fire and Semimaru flies off as Jet Garuda is out of power. The episode ends with both heroic robots unable to battle. Next episode shows both robots fighting Semimaru who now has a naginata and the premier of Great Icarus.

Episode 24:

Aya says they will lose as they somehow got Jet Garuda into the hanger for repairs. I will also call it JG from now on because it is quicker to type. Condor throws a fit about whatever while Aya says they need both robots to fight Semimaru. One pilot suggests combining them while Semimaru meditates in the Vyrock to heal. Insert mechanic office slapstick here. One pilot named Dan gets hurt via girder dropping on his foot with the other two thinking he is overreacting. He asks Swallow to stay with him, but that fails and by fail I mean she does so soon after. Turns out Dan faked his injuries and takes Swallow on a motorcycle ride to do something important. By important I mean stuff his face at a restaurant. The stupidity in this hurts. Dan asks if they don't get along and Swallow mention some in love, the pilot even offering himself despite her saying no. The other two pilots wonder about beating the Vyram and if this world can make them happy. Meanwhile, Swallow and Dan talk at a park where he mentions the sky on his world being blue before the Vyram attacked. Also the pilots cab transform. Dan ties a flower to one of Swallow's fingers before the Vyrock returns.

Semimaru walks around the city as rocks fall all over the place. JH is flying around and Swallow transforms to join them while Dan heads back to Sky Camp. JH becomes JI and fights Semimaru again. Once Dan gets back JG is almost ready. JI uses the Jet Lancer, but that fails miserably. JG takes off as BG and Radiguet appears in front of them to spew his sword at them, causing the main pilot, Rei, to become impaled. BG lands and the pilots are forced out of their cockpits followed by Radiguet finishing Rei and blasting the other two. He gets into BG and changes into JG to attack JI. Radiguet tells them their friends are waiting in hell while Dan sees the body of Rei and Kanna, worth noting that is the first time the latter's name is brought up. He gets angry and turns into a humanoid bird. The two against one fight ensues with Radiguet laughing until Dan somehow gets in and fights Radiguet. He is losing quite badly, but manages to spew fire in Radiguet's face before slowly dying and saying they must combine. Both robots pound fists and reorganize their parts to become Great Icarus. Swallow attends to Dan while Great Icarus punches Semimaru. Dan is taken to the cockpit and Semimaru flies around using ram attacks before Great Icarus throws him into a mountain. The Great Beam is fired from the forehead and the Bird Mazer is used which involves the talon-like arms forming electricity into the torso and firing an electric beam that causes Semimaru to explode. Radiguet is saddened by this while his comrades abandon him in his time of rage. Dan is losing consciousness, commenting that he looked cool to Swallow before she gives him a nearby flower to tie to his finger. He smiles before dying with Swallow crying for him. The episode ends with both robots being shown against the sunset. Next episode shows shadow versions of Jetmen and Condor fighting Grey.

Semimaru: Powers include size changing, a comet form, palm shockwaves, eye telekinetic bolts, a right wrist blade, eye lasers, and flight

Erika replaced Danny as the big storm in the Caribbean! Speaking of scary things here is part 9!

Episode 25:

The Vyram examine animals on an atom-like ball and zap a dimensional bug with DNA to turn it into a bio dimensional bug. Maria tells Radiguet not to touch it and he nearly strikes her down, but Grey catches his sword. He then walks off and Maria wraps up Grey's hand. The bio dimensional bug latches into a stadium light at a ball park with Maria saying it has the DNA of an armadillo, creating Light Armadillo. It spots two joggers and with its torso spotlight manifests a shadow to copy a jogger exactly. The Jetmen show up only to get beaten up. Hawk mentions this one is the strongest dimension beast yet and we cut to Condor playing poker with two women in playboy bunny outfits when two shadows show up at the pool he is playing near. The others transform when Maria shows up and their shadows are manifested into the Shadow Jetmen. Antics with Owl start the fight when it becomes apparent they are too evenly matched. Soon the four of them become weak with Maria saying their life energy is being placed in their shadows as the shadow Jetmen and Light Armadillo return going on the offensive. The Fire Bazooka is called by Hawk and Light Armadillo takes the blow without effect. Condor finally shows up and gets punched by Light Armadillo. The Shadow Jetmen are ordered to slay their counterparts when a cloud blocks the sun, causing them to disappear.

At Sky Camp the weakening continues at a much slower rate as Aya shows blueprints of Light Armadillo or as I like to call it HOW THE HELL DID SHE GET THOSE? Maria contacts them saying she isn't done. Maria fires a beam from her whip which forms an energy barrier around the city. Grey comments she is endangering herself. This allows the shadows to manifest properly as the shadow Jetmen go around beating up cars and Aya says the Jetmen have only an hour to live unless Condor does something. He heads out and spots Maria, but Light Armadillo and the shadow Jetmen spot and fight him. He soon transforms and fights the shadowy comrades. Hawk yells that he is being reckless and tries to head out, but cannot. Swallow says he is trying to steal the show. Condor is about to be hurt when the others show up to restrain their own shadows, allowing Condor to flee and attack Maria. Grey takes a hit for her and punches Condor before the two duel. Also bringer swords are bendy as Grey throwing Condor by holding on to it demonstrates. Condor is soon thrown off the roof while the others keep getting tired. Condor notices there is only ten minutes left which he uses to be beaten up a lot. Grey tries choking him when Condor summons his Jet Speeder to knock him down. Condor then shoots Maria just in time, allowing nightfall to return to the city and breaking the barrier. Light Armadillo attacks Condor, but the others show up and use the Fire Bazooka on him, aiming for the stomach light (looks more like the torso to me). The bio dimensional bug becomes big and BG is launched to form JG. Anyone else noticing this is a super rare night ball in Super Sentai? Light Armadillo assaults JG only for the Garuda Spark to stun him before the Garuda Claw charges with energy slashes him, and he explodes. Grey carries Maria back to Vyrock and says he won't let anyone make fun of her. The episode ends with him giving the cloth she used to wrap his hand earlier and Condor taking pictures of his teammates at the city pool for laughs. Next episode shows Owl in caveman clothing.

Light Armadillo: Powers include shadow copies from torso spotlight, a back shell, ball form rolling, mouth flames, and levitation

Episode 26:

Owl works on his farm fields, feeling happy about himself before munching on a cucumber. He remembers a time when he showed Swan his cucumbers and she liked them. A bio dimensional beast appeared (how would they know this change?) named Time-Space Mammoth who sprays some explosive mist from his nose. The Jetmen show up and bop him before Time-Space Mammoth fires a beam from his tusks that sends them through time and giving them a headache. Before it can be complete, Owl rushes up to Time-Space Mammoth and punches him. Swan wakes up the others as they find themselves near a cliff with Owl missing. He turns out to be resting in a thatchet hut (a big one I may add) and he is wearing caveman clothes. His cross changer is missing and he spots a girl with flowers entering. He thinks it is Swan and wonders what it going on. She claims to be named Rika just as other cave people waltz in. Owl goes through them and wonders where he is before realizing he is in the stone age. Maria confirms this and Tran and Radiguet bring up that they still aren't technically defeated. Owl runs away, but Rika follows and swings toward him on a wine. She gives him strawberries which he finds delicious. That night the Jetmen cook fish on a campfire wondering how they will return to their time. The next day Owl teaches the cave people how to make fire and they start bowing before him. This is followed by making a crude plow to make farming fields. Time-Space Mammoth collects a bunch of hot rubies so he can eat them and become strong again.

Owl is given a crown of flowers before being carried around on a throne. Owl thinks that he will like staying in this time period. An earthquake occurs and Time-Space Mammoth shows up as a giant. Owl heads straight for him even without transforming. The others show up and Rika observes them before we see a flashback of when she found Owl and his cross changer. As the camera becomes foggy for some reason the others use the jet hand cannons to stun Time-Space Mammoth. This causes a wormhole to be opened and the others go through it except for Owl who panics. The others get in their jets and Rika gives Owl his cross changer as the wormhole shrinks. She won't give it since it would mean Owl going away so he hugs her and she straps it on his wrists. Time-Space Mammoth stomps around Tokyo, Owl thanks Rika, transforms, and flies through just in time. Swallow's jet is caught until Owl's jet drops a rock on his head and tells the others to combine, forming JI. Time-Space Mammoth proves to be powerful in melee enough for JG to be called in and the two combine into Great Icarus. Upon doing this they throw Time-Space Mammoth as he charges and use the Bird Mazer to end him. The episode ends with the others showing Owl the discovery on an old mural which was basically depicting his time there. Next episode shows the Jetmen fighting over a river of blood and Hawk levitating via meditation.

Time-Space Mammoth: Powers include a trunk explosive spray, a tusk time beam, size changing, and eye lasers

Episode 27:

Some school girl walks in the park when the area becomes sort of dark and a car disappears in front off her- Oh it is Swallow. She calls the others for help after encountering something and they find her passed out. They take her back to Sky Base where Swan cries for her and everyone notices nothing is wrong with her. Aya thinks it is a different life form for some reason before we cut to her going to a temple. At Vyrock we see Radiguet in a levitating trance doing some spells. Condor gets sucked into a truck while on his motorcycle and the others find him in the same condition. The truck shows up and grabs Owl to pull him in and disappear. Hawk demands whoever is doing it show themselves before the truck appears briefly to dispose of Owl. Radiguet appears as a hologram caused by his trance as he tells Hawk his new bio dimensional beast can control the dead. Hawk is taken into the truck which is a portal to the nether world where previous dimensional beasts taunt him. Radiguet says his friends will wonder for eternity- Why is a kappa drinking from a pool of blood? A priest frees Hawk and pushes Radiguet into the truck. At the old temple the priest says the souls are in Hell as we see the trio chained to a rotating pole with their enemies carrying torches. Since their souls are still connected to their bodies there is a path to lead them back. Their bodies will fade in one hour, thus causing their souls to be trapped forever.... In other words this series confirms that EVERYONE GOES TO HELL WHEN THEY DIE. MAKING A SERIES DARK BY STUPIDITY, PEOPLE! Aya and the priest ue chanting to combat Radiguet's chanting, this causes Hawk to levitate as he meditates. His soul leaves his body via astral projection and he ends up in what I assume are the Elyssium Fields- No, wait, some woman in white says it is the desert river who then throws her walking stick at him.... Somehow causing him to get thrown into the river. She notices Hawk was not sent here by the bio dimensional beast (noting they haven't named it at this point). The river shows him Hell briefly while Swan prays for him. The priest tells Hawk he cannot use his powers in the Underworld. He sees a crying kid and tries to save her, but she turns into rocks. Two specters and the blood drinking kappa chase him around a forest.

The trio are taken on a log over the blood river and forced to drink it as it turns to fire. Hawk sees some women that want him and he declines because he needs to save his friends. These women are revealed to be Radiguet and the specters. The priest says he can create a miracle and that happens by.... Hawk transforming and appearing in front of the dead dimensional beasts. He tells the others to transform if they concentrate. This works as they zap their old enemies via bird blasters. Hawk SOMEHOW gets JI and JG into Hell/Underworld to help out fight them in giant forms. The Garuda Claw and Birdonic Saber finish them off and by that I mean their spirits possess JI to fight JG. Granted this is a nice twist. Swan calls out to Hawk and the priest's powers unpossess JI. The two bots form Great Icarus and the Bird Mazer finishes the dead dimensional beasts, causing Radiguet to get out of his trance and freeing the trio. The priest mentions Radiguet's spirit is weak and shouldn't be able to do it again. The episode ends with the Jetmen playing leapfrog. Next episode shows grinams being trained wearing gees.

Episode 28:

Dryer Dimension shoots up a car before telling the Jetmen to challenge him via fireworks. The next day we see Dryer Dimension greeting a squad of grinams saying his existence has been kept a secret since bio dimensional beasts were made. Tran won't use him openly because he will be made fun of and thus he thinks he is useless. Dryer Dimension says they must fight the Jetmen. Radiguet finds out about this and Tran acts nervous. The Jetmen appear at a baseball stadium where Dryer Dimension shows up and since he is just a regular dimensional beast nobody takes him seriously. These are the same monsters with interdimensional powers that repeatedly nearly killed the Jetmen. Grinams show up in baseball outfits and the Jetmen transform. However, they keep teleporting around and one lifts Swallow's skirt briefly. After that they bat baseballs at the Jetmen with enough force to cause small explosions. Once the Jetmen are beaten up some old woman yells that her carriage of groceries has ran away so Dryer Dimension saves them real quick, saving her eggs. Both the Jetmen and grinams wonder what the hell. Dryer Dimension wonders why she isn't scared and she replies that he was kind. The grinams are beaten up and run away as soon as he turns around. The grinams throw away their uniforms soon after and throw fits, but Dryer Dimension says he has another plan. He is spotted some time later at an abandoned factory where he confronts the Jetmen and has a grinam latch onto each of them and become.... tree branches? Dryer Dimension spews flames at them. This nearly works, but a random dog walks up to him and licks him, which he likes. The grinams literally give up and watch.

At dusk we see Dryer Dimension on a roof and grows giant sized to fight JI. JG is brought in after a few swipes and they form Great Icarus- Wait, how come I haven't called him GI yet? Well I will now. GI faces Dryer Dimension who throws it around. After that he is at Vyrock being messaged by his commanders with Tran even giving him wine- And it turns out he was daydreaming as he falls off a building. He tells himself he isn't kind before cutting to the Jetmen who are looking for him. Swan thinks he isn't so bad when they hear screaming. Dryer Dimension has a pair of school girls near a lake and the Jetmen try telling him he is kind. He refuses, but the old woman and dog come up. He throws both in the shallow water and tries using his drier which just dries them off. They think he is good before the Jetmen give them a latter to climb up. The Jetmen decide to help him up to since he is good. Tran shows up to be a dick because Dryer Dimension apparently betrayed them. Tran wants to place a bio dimensional bug on him and the Jetmen transform to fight the grunts only to assaulted hard themselves. The grinams are told the first to beat the Jetmen will become a bio dimensional beast. Dryer Dimension fights some mooks himself and takes a hit meant for Swan from Tran's power glove from Nintendo. Hawk calls in the Fire Bazooka, but the villains teleport away. The episode ends with everyone in kimonos eating watermelons and receiving mail from Dryer Dimension that he is working in a barber shop. He seems to do his new job well. Next episode shows a couple from another dimension and Hawk throwing his bringer sword to the ground.

Dryer Dimension: Powers include a left arm machine gun, head fireworks, and head wind gusts that can become flames

Episode 29:

At Vyrock the dimensional radar picks up a pair of berserk warriors from the Back Dimension. Apparently Radiguet was in charge of their extermination and gets PO'd before going after the couple himself with grinams. The third, Ru, turns a tree branch into a saber to fight the grinams. Cut to Earth where the Jetmen enjoy playing batmitten which causes Hawk to get flashbacks. The berserk warrior man appears and Hawk goes to his aid. Radiguet and Ru fight on a rooftop and seem to be about evenly matched. She turns a garbage lid into a shield during the fight while the male wakes up at Sky Camp. He wonders where Ru is and the Jetmen looked puzzled. Speaking of whom she fights Radiguet by turning bear bottles into a mace on a chain with a kama. The male explains to the Jetmen that his world, Berserk was destroyed by the Vyram. In a flashback we learn that his name is Duran and he and Ru were engaged for marriage the day of the invasion. They were trapped in a temple with their dying master telling them not to live for revenge as nothing good comes from that. Ru did not take heed and lost her kind ways. Aya sees Ru fighting Radiguet on the monitors. He turns into holograms to play around with her which bores Tran and Grey. The Jetmen show up just as a building is destroyed because Ru is doing it. She fights the Jetmen rather easily which was part of Radiguet's plan. Gotta admit that is smart. She turns a pipe into a laser rifle and stops once Duran gets in front of the Jetmen. A bio dimensional bug is attached to old samurai armor to form Curse Snake- wow that right fang looks crooked. The berserks bicker for a bit about Ru not being kind when Curse Snake shows up and throws its right arm and left leg at Ru. They are then transferred to Duran before going on the attack. He has Duran go toward him via possession with Ru telling him to stop to no avail. Hawk gets flashbacks of Rie being sucked into space and Curse Snake absorbs Duran into himself. He turns a pipe into a broadsword and starts slashing with Radiguet stating it is powered by his heart or something. Ru gets pushed down and Hawk takes a slash meant for her.

Hawk is in critical condition at Sky Camp with Ru blaming herself for what happened. Swan gets upset and Ru says they have the power to heal people once they can no longer turn things into weapons. She transfers part of her life force to save Hawk before disappearing to look for Duran near a river. Radiguet shows up with Curse Snake saying he has no consciousness left. His body becomes electrified and Curse Snake attacks.The Jetmen show up to kick him followed by a wave of grinams being sent their way. The Jetmen transform to slay the grunts while Red sword duels with Curse Snake. Ru begs Hawk not to kill him which results in him getting hit. Hawk gets Rie flashbacks again because stock footage. He throws down his weapons and tells Condor the snake on the helmet is responsible. He will hold him while the others shoot. He jumps forward to restrain him and gets shocked followed by the other using their bird blasters to shoot the helmet snake, saving Duran and causing Curse Snake to explode. Radiguet runs off angry and the episode ends with the berserks thanking Hawk before leaving to find a peaceful planet to live on. Next episode shows the construction of Tetra Boy and a woman in a stone wall.

Curse Snake: Powers include teleportation, limb detachment, possession, tongue lasers, turning objects into weapons, high jumping, a left wrist machine gun, and electric shocks

Episode 30:

Two hikers get lost and dodge some bats just as red mist starts to appear. Like fools they go through it, finding a cave where the mist somehow disappears and they find some old carvings. One knocks over a jar of green liquid that forms into Demon My who takes their hats off, knocking them out. He tells lords Ramon and Gorg- Wait, why is Gorg in Super Sentai? He's a big blue robot that had an anime in 1984! He says they will claim the world once more before cutting to Aya doing calculations. The Jetmen work in the hanger working on machinery which confuses Swan. Aya tells her and Swan that due to the Vyram increasing in strength (how?) that they need a third robot. Some sparks fly and she tells them to get back to work. At a boxing gym Demon Mu challenges a random boxer to a fight and wins, complete with cutting him with his flimsy sword. After that Swan does more calculating and Condor walks in, causing the two to talk about whatever as he gives her a soda. Demon Mu then attacks a mustache samurai (General Tetsuzan from Battle Fever J?), eventually winning while slicing his sword in half. He claims he can't revive both lords without true warrior blood. The next day Condor and Swan have a date near a big fountain complete with more talking. He eventually reached for her hand before Radiguet pops up to attack, claiming he let their guards down. Some grinams appear and Condor calls for backup. Demon My rushes to the scene because he hears a warrior's heart beating. Radiguet gets shot by the three laser cannons on the roof of Jet Bouncer. Hawk says they will finish this today and Radiguet throws a fit, turning into his demon self before they transform. Demon Mu shows up with random explosions and Maria wonders what the hell.

Radiguet tells Demon Mu to reveal himself before he attacks all six of them. Demon Mu slashes his way through everyone although Swan blasts him right arm off only for it to reattach. He uses his mouth heat ray to stun the Jetmen and carries Swan off before teleporting away to his cave. Swan is placed in a silhouette in the wall and Condor shows up to fight Demon Mu. Radiguet looks on from a distance as Demon Mu says he needs warrior blood to reawaken them. Also the walls grow tentacles. Condor offers his own blood upon cutting himself and the rocky tentacles absorb it out of him. Swan has flashbacks with the two of them and she begs for it to stop. Condor smiles and Swallow blasts the tentacles before the others get them out. Demon Mu follows outside with Condor and Swan transforming. Radiguet offers his blood to the demons, thinking they will become his slaves. The wall tentacles proceed to absorb his blood while Condor fights Demon Mu followed by Hawk calling the Fire Bazooka in to finish the job. In the cave Ramon and Gorg revive. Demon Mu runs in and begs for some energy, but the coldly respond that they have no need for wounded warriors so he gets zapped. The cave begins to collapse as the two waltz out. Condor and Swan sit under a tree while Radiguet faces the two demons and the episode ends with the third robot having its torso connected to its pelvis. Next episode shows the real premier of Tetra Boy.

Demon Mu: Powers include twin arm swords, reformation, a mouth heat ray, and teleportation



Opinions will be given next time because I was not aware episodes 30 and 31 were closely connected. Instead here is a funny picture.

 

[90210Girl]

Wow, you rated Fiveman really high, i hope one of fansub groups gonna pick it up, would love to watch it, was little afraid about it being sibling Sentai, we had family theme in Magiranger, and they keep bashing "We are family, we can do everything, becasue we are family" into your skull

Trust me all the family themed sentai are really good even Magiranger which can make or break a fan as it takes a while to get used too. As for Fiveman. More work should've went into the series as it was somewhat relatively boring. IIRC the woman that sings Ryuki's theme was the voice of Arthur. And the person who sings the theme song should've gotten to do another sentai theme.
