Captain Shark Reviews Gorenger and Beyond!

[Captain Shark]

Kakuranger is now fully subbed! To continue progression here is part 5!

Episode 13:

Some small girl named Mika collects balloons only for four boys to take them from her (jerks). Some guy with glasses comes along and claps his hands which pop the balloons which release spores that hurt the boys and Chiko getting some shortly after. Old guy walks with Mika for a bit and he takes her to a big park. Cut to the apartment with Yellow cooking for everyone. IC cracks a joke at Blue. Pink brings up something that seems important. After old guy takes Mika on an elevator he shows her the city via rooftop. He blows five balloons over the area (or six if editing is any indication). Spores are released with the Denzimen looking at people being carried away on stretchers. Mika talks to Red and Pink about.... Whatever it is they walk off without worrying. Meanwhile Hedrian rips a rose apart and Hedrer tells her to calm down. During this old guy trails Red and Pink to a lab hidden in an abandoned house with one scientist being her dad. Her dad calls her Miko, but everyone else calls her Mika, am I missing something? She opens a window that lets two red balloons in and Red is blinded. With everyone out 12 walks into the lab and messes with a console until it explodes. Outside Mika sees old guy who seems injured and Pink attacks him. Mika protects old guy who turns into balloons to fly away. Yeah, old guy is 12.

Red is blind and some laser surgery fixes him up. After that Mika looks for 12 who still uses his human form. She soon finds him and they hug (yeah, totally not creepy). He leads her to a barn while still injured as the Denzimen look for her. Then 12 has weird fantasies about her.... This ghas pedophile alert all over it. Hedrer walks in on him threatening to kill him, but 12 asks for a second chance which is accepted. 12 blows a balloon which Blue finds has a message on it. At the lab everyone reads it saying it is a ransom. Once her dad shows up with a brief case 12 grabs her with standard hostage negotiation. The switch is made with Mirror and Kellar watching. Dustlers appear and Mika is taken via balloons until Blue's costume grabs 12 which somehow forms into the hero.... What? The Denzimen are about to attack, but Mika still finds good in 12 who decides to let her go much to Hedrian's dismay. 12 approaches the Denzimen and pops balloons before ditching his disguise. Intros and dustler beat ups occur. The dustlers even beat Blue down with small hammers like whack-a-mole, amusing. Red duesl with 12 for a bit before the team is covered in balloons. After that fails the heroes kick 12 all at once followed by explosive balloons. After the Denziboomerang is used 12 grows and Red calls for Denzi Tiger which allows DDJ. Even the mighty DDJ is barely a match for blinding balloons as 12 teleports around until he is disarmed. The Moon Cut is used to finish 12 complete with bisection and one big kaboom. After that Mika releases two red balloons and her dad hugs her with the Denzimen and IC watching. Kind of a sad moment. Next episode shows kids dancing and 13 befriending some boy.

12: Powers include a human disguise, spore and bomb balloons, invisibility, a balloon cluster form, teleportation, a spear, and size changing

Episode 14:

Some boy in a class goofs off and the kids complain even after school. Mirror and Kellar take note. Cute to Blue falling down with groceries and the kids helping him out. At the apartment Blue comes back with said groceries. The kids hang out at some place that acts like school with 13 and the Vader Clan poking around and acting like not-teachers. Not sure what this place is supposed to be. The kids are given bags around their necks with Hedrer having them dance. The next day some boy's pencil does his answers for him on his math assignment (test? quiz?). The other kids take note and have their pencils do the work. Naturally they get perfect scores. After that Red, Blue, and Yellow watch them buy bananas.... Huh? Blue and Yellow confront them and get nothing (what were they expecting?). At the Vader Castle Hedrian seems pleased as Hedrer explains the next phase. Meanwhile the kids return to not-school with Red, Blue, and Yellow being attacked by 13 just outside. Dustlers appear only to get punched around. 13 throws giant pencils at the three before he gets denzi sticks thrown at him and he shrinks down to hide in a brick. The heroes crash the not-school and find no adults there. Red tells them to leave, but they look like zombies. Red uses the denzi scope to examine the pencils.

At some restaurant they have the kids' parents look over them as they redo their math problems. They all do badly with goof off boy from earlier getting his right ear pulled by his mom. After that some other boy is bummed out before hearing a voice. Said voice comes from his pencil case where his pencil talks to him. It is revealed to be 13 as he claims he can be of service (sure he can). He grows to child size and yaps on about something which the boy refuses to take part in (is he selling drugs?). 13 doubles his size to scare him off. Blue walks in with two bowls of what I assume is soup and notices he is missing. The same happens to the other kids. Green gets Chiko to help as the Denzimen run around. Sppn Denzi Tiger is launched with Blue and Pink piloting it and take one five vader fighters, three of which get missile blasted. Meanwhile Red and Yellow look around via vehicles with Green joining as Mirror and Kellar have the kids abducted on a bus. The dustlers start gunning the Denzi Machine and Denzi Buggy complete with mines going off. The last two vader fighters show up only for the Denzi Buggy to take them out via machine gun. The bus disappears with Blue and Pink tracking it. Eventually the Denzimen make it to the ground to rescue them complete with intros and grunt obliteration. 13 uses the pencil sharpener in his left shoulder to blind them and teleports around with only Yellow able to land a hit before Red knocks his block off. 13 shrinks down and attacks their feet before becoming giant. Red sicks Denzi Tiger on 13 who shrinks down only for denzi sticks to be thrown at him followed by the Denziboomerang which blows him up. The episode ends with the Denzimen walking the kids home. Next episode shows a van used by the Vader Clan and skaters in 70s clothing.

13: Powers include spawining magic pencils, explosive pencil spears, a pencil form, invisibility, size changing, and a left shoulder pencil sharpener

Episode 15:

Skaters gonna skate as Green and Chiko go on a date. Seriously, everyone is skating while they talk on a bench. Soon Green has her avoid a flying saw disc as their attacker skates around complete with flips. Chiko is nearly taken and Green unmasks the assailent who is scolded. Mirror runs off to a van. Cut to Denziland where the team examines the saw blade. Yellow makes assumptions which seem to tick Green off. After that Green goes to his assailant's apartment to spend time with him to assume he is not such a bad guy or something. He runs out of his room and finds him mom (so he is a teen?) as well as search for his pirate radio. Upon finding it he listens to some woman saying stuff who happens to be Kellar in the van from earlier. Long message. 14 has him listen to weird disco music that is picked up at Denziland. Red gets his serious face on while Mirror radios in to Kellar and 14 as she keeps watch. Assailant pulls out a knife with Green able to smack him out of it. Mirror and Kellar assumed they succeeded and drive off. The other Denzimen miss the fan, but find dustlers lead by 14.... on skates I may add. Man does the vader monster beat them around, at least until Green kicks him with his squad teleporting off. After that Red and Green monitor the assailent closely in his room. During this the Vader Clan broadcasts their message across the area which pleases Hedrian complete with evil laughter.

The next day assailant checks his mail box which is empty. Green sees him upon getting a letter from the mailman. He gets a letter from No. 033 (who he thinks the Vader Clan is) and skates off into the city. Green gets bumped into by skaters. Yellow and Pink join in the pursuit with them finding a skater-disco club called Young. They infiltrate while wearing football helmets while the Vader Clan spots them. Their minds are somehow assaulted and tell everyone to run with nobody caring. Dustlers attack and they trasnform, soon taking the battle outside where Red and Blue show up. The Deznimen escape and meet up with Chiko briefly. Apparently Chiko has a partner we never saw until now. Red spots the van and has the Denzi Machine gun it down which turns off the music. The Denzimen find 14 and do their intros complete with dustler smack down although the grunts have the upper hand at first thanks to their skates. The heroes kick all at once to no avail. This somehow allows them to plow through the dustlers to assault them properly. The denzi sticks knock 14 down and use the Denziboomerang. 14 grows big, Red calls for Denzi Tiger for DDJ. 14 summons a saw bladed staff which is countered by the Denzi Ball. Soon the Moon Cut is used to make 14 explode. The team plays soccer with the kids with Pink and IC watching. Next episode shows everyone at a beach while Chiko meets some sick guy complete with a speed boat chase.

14: Powers include foot skates, high jumping, size changing,and a staff with a circular saw that emits surges

We interrupt this regular Denziman review to bring you Denziman Movie! Opinions will also be done when we get to part 8.

Movie:

After the full opening we see a couple on a sailboat that gets eaten by a giant angler fish. The same happens at a beach with one boy being eaten. Denzi Tiger takes off and soon finds the angler fish. They put it on an island with Denzi Tiger firing missiles at it. Cut to the apartment where some mother makes a cake and her daughter disappears. Her phone rings and she rushes out of her house.... Before we see her daughter walking home. She finds something up as we return to the Denzimen who are in swim clothes and dancing. They talk a bit as a long boat has dustlers putting the people they caught on it. Mirror and Kellar have them take turns at the wheel with the last one being the mom from earlier who gets some blue aura. Hedrer comments. At the house the daughter notices a fancy round diamond as we see long boats on clouds and her mother looks like Rule 63 Peter Pan before snapping back to reality. She hides under the covers of her bed as someone turns her door knob. On the ceiling she sees Anglar as Red and Pink somehow hear. Red and Pink beat Anglar up and save the kid while dustlers fire their machine guns and mines go off. Just when they are surrounded the Denzi Tiger shows up and the exhaust jets are so strong it knocks everyone down. Anglar throws a fit and grows big. Red and Pink make it to the Denzi Tiger as it flies off. At Denziland she sees her mom in the diamond and IC notices. IC tells the Denzimen about Dezni Star's destruction like he did a while back complete with episode 1 stock footage. More stock footage happens from episode 8. After that the team talks with Denziland talking about the lost Denzi Princess who used the same boats in the little girl's vision. Also the Vader Castle fires green lasers from its face in the flashback. Said Dezni Princess sails on Earth a bit before finding Denziland. She goes inside with her five servents for a long monologue before leaving the diamond ball to one of them. Denzi Princess leaves her servents on Earth and goes to space. The team talks a bit with Pink getting answers from the Denziland computer.

Meanwhile Hedrian wonders about stuff. At the base we learn the girl's name who is Mayumi as she hears her mom's voice in the diamond ball. Hedrian acts like the queen from Snow White using a mirror as she is imitating Mayumi's mom (rather well). Mayumi shows Pink the diamond ball (does this have a name?) as Hedrian says what I think is a trance spell. Pink walks out of the base to a shore with the men following her. Hedrian notices and summons.... a geyser? At the boat Pink is thrown in a cell with the others. During this Hedrer shoves the diamond ball in Anglar's mouth as he plays with Denzimen figures to conduct a battle plan. Pink sees dustlers moving a missile and she is soon tied to the mast with Hedrer giving a smirk. The Denzimen show up on speed boats with dustlers opening fire. In the chaos Blue sneaks aboard via scuba gear and unties her offscreen. On shore Anglar attacks and mines go off before the heroes do their intros and dustler beat ups. Man Green likes using round house kicks. Blue does some snake trick with his hands because he can. The Denzimen use their kicks to no effect. Mines go off and the diamond ball emits some orange ray. Denzi Tiger shows up in a lightning storm with IC piloting (somehow). Hedrer, Mirror, and Kellar jump off the ship after a computer malfunction as the battle continues. After surging Anglar with denzi sticks fails he grows big and attacks the Denzi Tiger. After barely fighting the vader mnster off Denzi Tiger released Denzi Fighter to become DDJ. Anglar clashes against the Daidenzi Boomerang and Denzi Ball. DDJ punches Anglar before using the Denzi Sword to redirect his forehead light bolts. The Moon Cut then blows Anglar up. Soon Mayumi and her mom are reunited. The heroes have orange juice and cake to finish the movie- No, wait, Denzi Princess/Fem-Peter Pan comes back to say hello and return the diamond ball. Mayumi gives it to Red for safe keeping.

Anglar: Powers include size changing, swimming, an anchor staff that causes explosions at the tips, explosive flashes and energy bolts from forehead light, and high jumping

The main robots of GoGo V and Battle Fever J will be joining Dice-O! While we wait for that here is part 6!

Note: As it turns out Chiko had an E in her name and this was not caught until now. Sorry for previous spelling errors everyone.

Episode 16:

A cop car rides along with Chieko and Tomoko in it when they spot a guy panicking. In his car is an older man who shortly dies and decomposes into sand. Mirror and Kellar drive by pleased before reporting to Hedorian. Hedrer points to a map of Tokyo because.... It has something to do with the beach. Cut to Blue counting his roles and Yellow and Green walking in telling Red and Pink about the decayed old man. Apparently he was an important business man. IC says something and they turn on the TV. Red and Pink head out on the Denzi Machine with the Vader Clan watching before gunning them down. The dustlers are attacked until the Denzi Machine is trapped in sand. Before 15 can command his troops to kill them the others show up in the Denzi Buggy and they make a retreat. After 15 dives into the water we see two street performers handing out fliers of the old man that died. Red and Pink go to a hotel to look around and encounter the panicky guy from earlier with his wife and son. They talk to him while Mirror and Kellar watch. After that fails they go to a theme park and night club with the heroes watching. At the night club the men spot Mirror and Kellar on stage. The next day the Denzimen look at the short and that night after Mirror and Kellar report to Hedrer Red sneaks out. He sees panicky guy walking out and wakes up Yellow and Green who wake up Blue. Once Pink wakes up they search the lobby. Panicky guy goes on a long boat with Blue and Green boarding it soon after. Panicky guy talks with the Vader Clan while Red, Yellow, and Pink confront his wife and ask where he is. She lets them in and her son wakes up. One Red gives her a note they leave and his son turns out to be 15 in disguise.

The next day 15 takes his not-mom to a Ferris wheel with Green talking to Chieko on the phone revealing they have no child. The Denzimen catch him and 15 turns into his true self.After jumping around a bit 15 dives into the shore (must be really deep). They go around searching and Green gets ambushed by dustlers in disguise until he shoots them. Also Yellow does a funny bit with opening random hotel doors. Blue encounters Mirror and Kellar in one piece bathing suits comically until mines go off and they disappear. Red notices lettering on the long boat from earlier which says.... Shimama? I think that is what Red says. Anyway they board it, soon finding a trap door which leads to the vacant lab. On top Green spots a speed boat with panicky guy about to be killed by 15's goons. Some green viles are taken out of a box and the Denzimen show up on speed boats. Once the guns fire the heroes go overboard while hanging onto nets. On shore dustlers plant mines and Red and Blue kick 15. Dustlers throw grenades as the Denzimen kick 15 off a hill which angers him enough to grow. Red calls Denzi Tiger to call for DDJ. During the fight 15 reduces himself to a head and hops around which forces the heroes to attack on foot with intros and dustler smack down. Blue does his blue snake technique from before as well as scratches like a wild cat. Seriously. 15 gets kicked all at once before he turns into a head and bites the team. After that the Denziboomerang finishes 15 off and blows him up. The episode ends with the Denzimen enjoying their trip with panicky guy's family- Wait I thought he had no son? I WISH I KNEW JAPANESE DANG IT! Next episode shows the Vader clan playing baseball and 16 attacking a baseball player.

15: Powers include swimming, a human disguise, high jumping, an oar staff that throws bombs, teleportation, retracting into his head, and size changing

Episode 17:

Dustlers play baseball under the supervision of their commanders. Man it is rough. Hedrian seems disappointed and has one of the batters shot. 16 shows up and Hedrer tells him to show off his pitching skills. He throws baseballs so hard the dustlers are sent flying. After Hedrian gets gitty she has 16 go after major league players. 16 knocks them out with a boy watching in a bush. Cut to the Denzimen talking about it while Blue stabs open Green's baseball to reveal a tennis ball.... Huh? Pink walks in and says something. Yellow runs in yelling about what 16 did as we see ambulences. Meanwhile 16 sneaks up on baseball players during a game and Blue looks for him. At the Vader Castle Hedrian and Hedrer enjoy dinner as they discuss their plan of what I assume is ruining sports for Japan. Later 16 attacks a baseball player and snaps his bat. Blue shows up to attack the Vader Monster. Yellow and Green show up to chase him off as the boy from earlier is spotted. Apparently he is let go as we see him on a radio and meeting an injured player in the hospital right after. Blue, Yellow, and Green catch the kid about to slingshot the player that escaped. Said player hands him a glove which he slaps off and runs away. After that 16 pitches to some guy in a white hoodie. After batting well a few times he is revealed to be Blue. Soon he is clobbered in the face and 16 laughs.

At Denziland Blue's chin is patches up with Red and Pink watching him. Blue and Pink go to the boy's apartment as he is revealed to be the younger brother of a former baseball star. Meanwhile Hedrer tells 16 to stop monkeying around and finish his work. 16 meets with the boy (I think he calls him Kuta, not sure) and they talk a bit. After that Blue and the boy talk during a baseball game some kids are having before he collapses in sadness. Blue tries talking sense into him and fails. Meanwhile the boy's older brother is recovering in rehab by that player he disrespected earlier. The Denzimen tell the boy that if his brother did not give up he should not either, I think. The two brothers have a touching reunion while 16 does laps around the area. During a major game at a stadium some dustlers disguised as adults prepare grenades as 16 sneaks in. He tries attacking a player and instead hits his goons. Thanks to trapdoors the Denziman keep the older brother protected and attack 16. Eventually they end up at a train crossing where intros and dustler whooping are done. The dustlers have baseball bats which make them formidable until the team does some teleporting attack (I blame weird editing). Eventually they use baseball bats of their own, with matching colors, and take finish the dustlers while tracking 16's curve balls with the Denzi Scope. After the bats are thrown at 16 the Denziboomerang is used only for the Vader Monster to grow and wreck an oil district. Red has Denzi Tiger launch Denzi Fighter so DDJ can show up. 16 has DDJ on the ropes at first, but is disarmed via Denzi Ball. After the Daidenjin Boomerang is dodged 16 uses his ball form until the Moon Cut is used to bisect and blow him up. The episode ends with the player hitting a home run with everyone getting along. Next episode shows some guy being mutated into a fishman and 19 playing a flute.

16: Powers include fast baseball throwing, high jumping, a baseball form, a kanabo, and size changing

Episode 18:

At a beach we see footprints before Hedrer tells Hedrian his next plan. 19 walks in playing a flute rather badly. Hedrian seems amused. Cut to Pink in a dark hallway when she spots someone in the pool. The others come after hearing her scream. The lights turn on and it is someone Pink knows. At the apartment he is introduced and bumps heads with Blue on accident. The next day some kids are running when 19 plays his flute which turns their coach into a fishman.... Yeah. His students run away. Chieko and Tomoko run into a male officer who also turns into a fishman via flute. After the same happens to a guy selling beer IC alerts the Denzimen. In a lake a couple are rowing a boat with 19 turning the guy into a fishman. This song is sexist. In said lake are the trio converted from earlier who drag the woman underwater until the Denzimen minus Pink show up. Underwater battle with fishmen and dustlers ensue. Before long the dustlers take their four new fishmen and take off.

Pink finds out one of the fishmen was her friend while 17 and Hedrer train them. Later the other three converted wash up on shore with the Denzimen noticing. During this 19 and Hedrer bicker over the plan with Pink's friend making a run for it not knowing he is being followed. Dustlers attack him soon after. He contacts Denziland via pay phone to explain his situation. The team tells her not to overreact, but one monologue later she runs off. Pink finds her friend in the woods and dustlers start shooting. She kicks one out of their hand and starts shooting before fleeing. The chase scene contains lots of quick editing including hanging on a bridge. 19 tracks them via footprints painted by the other Denzimen. Pretty funny moments. Pink and her friend find themselves in a desert where he almost passes out. They find the ocean where he remembers good times he had with Pink. 19 catches up and the two go down a hill. Once Pink transforms she beats up the dustlers before the others arrive for intros and continue. Once the dustlers are taken out 19 assaults the team before he gets kicked by them at once. They then slam the denzi sticks on him all at once although this fails as he grows. Red has Denzi Tiger launch Denzi Fighter to form DDJ. 19 spams the gun in his flute to no avail as the Denzi Sword emits a surge on the ground and stuns 19 long enough for the Moon Cut to destroy him upon bisection. Pink looks for her friend (I think she says Hotaro, but I am not sure) and he seems to be back to normal and alive.... Why the sad music? Next episode shows the Denzimen patrolling the streets at night and some boy dressed as a prince.

19: Powers include a flute staff that converts men into fishmen and has a gun in the butt, teleportation, high jumping, size changing, and a mouth water gun

Zyuranger will get a US release likely next year! While we wait for that here is part 7!

Episode 19:

Some woman in glasses drives to a security check point. She manages to knockout a guard via her car hood and a truck rolls in. Cut to a facility where scientists are working with Mirror, Kellar, and dustlers attack. One scientist meets his little sister and her dog for lunch while the Vader Clan ransacks the lab. Scientist guy notices a fire in his lab and tries rescuing the survivors. Hedrer reports the results to Hedrian who sends Mirror, Kellar, and dustlers to scientist guy's house. Suddenly Blue and Yellow show up to beat the grunts up which cause the Vader Clan to teleport. Blue and Yellow turn back into humans to meet scientist guy. That night the rest of the Denzimen arrive to patrol his house while he works. At the Vader Castle organ music plays as 17 is hatches from his egg before turning into a boy prince. After that we get shots of horses and Red encourages taking some teenager on taking a trip. Chieko and Tomoko even show up to transport him. Meanwhile scientist guy is working hard with Blue practicing nunchuku outside when the dog spots a big toad. The little sister goes out to calm the dog (I think they name him Goro not sure) the heck down. She finds 17 in disguise form and is enchanted. 17 does not speak, but manages to convey he is not from the area. One walk through a flower field later he talks about how he is from star constellation and he fires energy bolts from his fingers. He gives her a ring with what I think is a topaz. Suddenly Blue and Yellow show up to retrieve the little sister (I cannot tell if she is named Nami or Mayumi). At home her brother notices the ring and she runs off to daydream.... Until 17 telepathically talks to her. She sneaks out to see him. In her room the Denzimen find her ring and become worried.

At the Vader Castle we discover that the ring was a camera and that Hedrer demands more information. Scientist guy worries about her and even knocks over Yellow's food running out. (also 17 calls himself Natsuki in human form) That morning she sneaks out of her room to disable defenses where 17 sneaks in and tries to kill scientist guy only to find the Denzimen waiting. The little sister tries to defend 17 until she sees his reflection where the disguise fails and she faints. 17 shows his true form with intros and are executed. The fight is soon taken outside where 17 spawns toad statues of himself until the Denziboomerang attacks him. 17 grows big and breathes fire. Denzi Tiger sends out Denzi Fighter for DDJ to fight. 17 teleports around and turns into a baseball glove until the Moon Cut bisects and- oh wow he reforms! The Denzimen head out to fight 17 in his human form where he summons a toad and dustlers disguised as rocks. Red uses Denzi Water from his stick to put out some flames that trap Blue. The Denziboomerang hits 17 and he blows up, somehow setting fire on top of a pond. The episode ends with the little sister tying one of 17's flowers to three balloons so they fly off. Next episode shows a fat boy walking around, a cop car going down a hill, and 18 attacking.

17: Powers include a human disguise, telepathy, illusions, teleportation, telekinesis, a knife, lightning summoning, emitting fog, a halberd, size changing, mouth flames, and reformation

Episode 20:

The slow machine at Vader Castle is busted and an egg inside goes nuts. Hedrian takes a nap while Hedrer tries to get the egg to incubate. Cut to a fat boy munching on bananas and telling four kids to get lost. Fat boy sees a red light from a flower with what I assume are dead butterflies. He tastes the flower's nectar and likes it. Meanwhile 18 finally hatches from his egg, but he is exhausted with Hedrian disappointed. Hedrer suggests something she takes interest in. While 18 is taken away fat boy collects some nectar in a jar and is so strong he punches a tree down. Red teaches his martial arts class before we see Yellow cooking Blue's food and Green boxing. During this fat boy sees the kids from earlier and knocks them off their bikes with Chieko telling him to knock if off before being shoved to a wall. Mirror and Kellar check the flower to see it is drained of nectar so they send dustlers to find some. At the apartment Chieko explains what happened. Fat boy plays football with ease against some other kids. At the Vader Castle Hedrer throws a fit while 18 munches on everything in sight until he gets word of fat boy who then kicks down cinder blocks. Green and Pink fail to stop him as do Chieko and Tomoko in their cruiser. Mirror, Kellar, and 18 try sneaking up on fatboy who over powers their dustlers. 18 holds a bee doll to fat boy's face and Green and Pink take notice. Fat boy tells him his jar is in a tree while the two heroes beat up dustlers. They notice fat boy having hive tattoos on his body and rush him to a hospital.

Once there the doctor is dumbstruck. The other Denzimen show up and Green tells them what happens. They travel to Denziland while Green looks at the boy's blood samples or something. At the Vader Castle the nectar is mixed into 18's head and he goes nuts. Hedrian is happy about it while 18 knocks away some dustlers and a wall. Soon he causes the castle to shake and Hedrian tells him to calm down. Later 18 pushes a moving truck back and uses a chain to prevent it from reversing. Chieko and Tomoko show up only for their car to be lifted and tossed. Traffic is brought to a stand still complete with honking. The Denzimen arrive as 18 appears in a quarry. Intros and dustler slaughter occur. 18 uses his bee and head machine gun to keep the heroes at bay until they use the Denziboomerang. Despite an explosion 18 grows and starts a rampage. Red calls for Denzi Tiger for Denzi Fighter to turn into DDJ. 18's spear emits smoke which distracts DDJ long enough to assault it with his fists. Once the Denzi Ball stuns 18 the vader monster is bisected and destroyed via Moon Cut. This causes fat boy to return to normal. Green gives him flowers and he freaks out. The episode ends with fat boy joining Red's class despite being exhausted. Next episode shows motorcyclists in masks fighting the Denzimen.

18: Powers include a spear that emits smoke, a toxic bee, a chain, high jumping, size changing, and hive head machine guns

Episode 21:

Masked motorcyclists rob a jewelry store at night followed by a bank the next day. When the cops fail they ride off. Cut to the apartment where Green reads the paper and talks about the robberies. Blue thinks the Vader Clan is behind it. After that candles are lit with the bikers chanting near a big candle. One biker with a gold mask tells them what to do and the big candle turns into 20 when they leave. The motorcyclists ambush some other biker only for him to get away. He stops at a circus where some woman identifies him before the bikers surround him. They pull out guns until he agrees to go with them. Circus woman tells Blue about it and he is shocked as he knows the guy. The Denzimen head out while the bikers attack a truck. After gunning some guards they steal the treasure and run. Red and Blue show up in the Denzi Machine and whomp a few while the Denzi Buggy stops the truck. 20 shows up and uses pyrokinesis before fleeing. Red wakes up a biker who swallows a suicide pill before trying to wake up Blue's friend. Mirror and Kellar give their report which pleases Hedrian. At the apartment Blue's friend(I think they call him Tokio, but I am not sure) explains his story which can be summed up to gambling problems. Circus woman is depressed over it. Meanwhile the bikers chant around 20 for a bit.

At the hospital Blue's friend is Kellar walks in disguised as a nurse and nabs him. Green and Pink catch on and the others head out with Blue telling circus woman.... Who immediately finds him at a pond. Gold mask biker has one of his goons take circus woman's cat. Blue looks around the circus in the mean time. After not finding them at the pond the Denzimen head out while Mirror tells the bikers to attack a base or else circus woman's cat is dead. She and Blue's friend sneak in via phone wires onto the roofs. They sneak some device in the vents before firing a flare. Gold mask has the other bikers ready. Inside the base the electronics are scrambled and the motorcyclists ride in. The Denzi Buggy arrives at the base unaware the military police are being impersonated. Red notices circus woman's cat and Blue identifies it. Blue's friend and circus woman make a run for it until they are both wounded from gunfire. Blue shows up to beat up the bikers with the others jumping in after. 20 notices via security cameras and Red calls for Denzi Tiger to prevent missiles from launching. 20 throws a fit and runs to a construction site where the heroes do intros and grunt smack down. Man Blue likes acting like Kamen Rider Amazon and continues upon attacking 20 who falls down. After the Denzimen kick him all at once they use the Denziboomerang which causes him to blow up and disappear. The episode ends with Blue's friend and circus woman back to normal with the latter having her cat back. Next episode shows a jail cell, a clock going backward, and 21 abducting someone.

20: Powers include a candle form, fire summoning, teleportation, and candle bombs

 

[Captain Shark]

TV-Nihon will not take down their subs of Zyuranger! This has nothing to do with part 8!

Episode 22:

A jail guard locks someone up at night. Before taking a nap the clock goes backward and he passes up. His keys float until it is revealed to be 21 with Mirror and Kellar. They take the prisoner with his face on the news the next day. The Denzimen find it odd and Red mentions the Vader Clan. That night Green does a stake out and his clock goes back. A truck appears as do the Vader Clan. He transforms and runs after their truck. He sneaks under it and scouts the Vader Clan base like a boss. He spots Mirror and Kellar taking the prisoner somewhere, but he decides to steal a costume instead. He eventually finds a room with freed prisoners dining to a feast. After more snooping he finds a radar room where the Vader Clan spots him. 21 uses some strobing lights and a lightning bolt from his left eye to send Green back in time. He encounters his dad as they are both cops who catch some guy. Hedrer points this out to Hedrian. 21 does it again to Green, this time in the present day in open traffic with Yellow and Pink spotting him. At the apartment everyone is concerned including Chieko- Darn it Blue stop eating rolls! Anyway the Denzimen star escorting a prisoner until their vehicles are forced backward and 21 shows up with a squad of dustlers. 21's use of stock footage powers amuse Hedrian. Cut to Pink carrying Blue and Red carrying Yellow to the apartment because injuries. Red has a worried look on his face.

Green visits his father's grave and feels ashamed with the Denzimen taking him back to Denziland. IC talks to him a bit and reminds him his father died because of the Vader Clan. This somehow makes him happy again/regain memories or something. Meanwhile 21, Mirror, and Kellar take another prisoner via stopping time. The team continues discussing until Green stands up.... and that's it. He starts playing his guitar at a construction site while singing. Two dustlers aim their guns at him and take him prisoner. Green is thrown in with the other prisoners for music. That night Green sneaks away and goes into the radar room. He messes with 21's torso clock a bit before being sent to a jail cell- WHY ARE THERE WEREWOLVES!? SERIOUSLY, HE GETS ATTACKED BY WEREWOLVES! Then they go to a room of stage light where they become cavemen.... THIS NEEDS TO BE SUBBED! 21 gets him out of there and outside where he knocks some dustlers out. Mirror and Kellar find him before 21 tosses him around. After Green goes down a hill 21 throws his spear only for a denzi stick to stop it. The others show up and Green transforms, allowing intros and grunt whooping. Man the dustlers act hyper here. 21's interference prevent the dustlers from losing and Pink gets man handled by the vader monster. Soon the heroes use.... I seriously don't know the actual name, I THINK they say Denzi Super Science, a ray from their foreheads that turns the film negative. After knocking 21 down they slam their denzi sticks all at once and I think this is called the Electronic Lightning Fall Attack. Despite the explosion 21 grows, Denzi Tiger launches Denzi Fighter for DDJ, and combat ensues. 21 gets his butt handed to him- Wait, Denzi Sword can emit ground surges too? Well after that 21 meets the bisect and blow up combo with the prisoners being sent back to their jail cells and the base exploding. Next episode shows Blue zoning out, Hedrian being angry, and 22 sending dustlers after guys with long hair.

21: Powers include time manipulation, invisibility, left eye time bolts, a spear, teleportation, back grenades, and size changing

Episode 23:

22 walks into someone's house to see a mess. Cut to Blue and Pink walking with the former having a drawing of some blonde guy. They see some long haired guy (later I found out it is a bad portrait of Pink) at a park and Blue recognizes him as a friend. At the apartment the two start drawing with the others being iffy. Yellow even comments about Blue's friend's personal hygine. Drawer tries to leave with Blue trying to stop him only for the drawer to go on a long rant and fleeing. Drawer heads home to lie down only for a blanket from the ceiling to smother him into unconsciousness.... Who was 22 all along. Pink finds him lying there and drawer passes a spore via touch. Blue runs in finding his friend looking like a zombie and 22 jumping out a wall onto a garbage truck. Blue goes after him to no avail. At the vader castle Hedrer explains his plans which amuse Hedrian. At the apartment Pink gets upset at what happened and Red sides with her as Blue tries telling everyone drawer is not bad. Chieko and Tomoko walk in telling them about drawer who is wrecking a flower shop and poured mud on some woman. Tomoko manages to toss him with moss on Chieko's uniform. Blue soon spots drawer and goes after him until he is shot by 22. Blue spots him under a bridge as 22 claims this was his doing. The hero transforms and fights the vader monster at a junk yard. 22 starts losing until he sprays spores from his mouth and teleports away.

At Denziland the spores are analyzed and Yellow reads what I assume are results. Hedrian seems pleased by said results as her video monitor depict 22 controlling a bunch of slaves. Red, Green, and Pink do a stakeout near drawer's home as he tries to sleep. As he tries him floor flips and 22 smothers him again. The heroes find it odd he disappeared. During this 22 gathers a lot of slaves including drawer to have them mine for something which amuses Hedrian. They must have been there for a while as many of them have no haircut and the spores resemble dirt. Suddenly drawer guy attacks and was revealed to be Blue in disguise. After Blue beats up some dustlers 22 telekinetically throws bones at him. 22 uses some handheld device to absorb Blue's denzi spark, but instead it calls a signal where the others show up in the Denzi Tiger which emits some beam on the underside that destroys the spores of the slaves including drawer. Once the slaves escape 22 and his goons follow only for the Denzimen to do their intros and grunt decimation. Blue and 22 duel a bit with the former using his whacky Blue Snake attack and acting like Kamen Rider Amazon. However 22 blows lots of spores until Red kicks him in the face. One denzi punch by Red later 22 goes on top of a hill and activates mines until the denzi stick slam down is used. Despite an explosion 22 grows, forcing Red to have Denzi Fighter launch and turn into DDJ. 22 has DDJ on the ropes a bit when the spores cloud the robot's sight, but is easily taken out via Denzi Ball before the Moon Cut does the old bisect and explode. Blue and drawer walk on a bridge because why not and Pink gives him a couple of Blue's rolls. Next episode shows some girl winning a pageant and dustlers experimenting on her.

22: Powers include a trident that activates mines, a blanket form, mouth spores, teleportation, telekinesis, a denzi absorbing device, and size changing

Episode 24:

Hedrian brushes her teeth and likes her reflection thanks to Mirror as Kellar holds her stuff shortly after. While examining the humans she finds them immensely ugly and throws a fit. Hedrer walks in to state his next plan which calms her down. After that Mirror shows Hedrian a padgent while Kellar just watches. Hedrian shows some small girl being crowned and throws a fit so hard two teeth fall out. 23 shows up as Hedrian yells a lot. Cut to the Denzimen congratulating the winner as Mirror and Kellar watch. Blue takes some kids to a park complete with cotten candy and a circus featuring a guy with strong teeth. Mirror and Kellar watch while in the stage disguised as ring masters. The kids beg Blue to volunteer for the teeth pulling a chain on a weight challenge and he fai- Oh my he lifts it a little. After that strong guy is revealed to be 23 as he talks with Mirror and Kellar to form a plan. Once Blue takes the padgent winner home and leaves the Vader Clan shows up to erode her teeth. Blue hears a scream and rushes into to beat up dustlers.

Padgent winner gets a tooth ache with pain pills doing very little. Later we find all the kids have bad tooth aches as Pink looks after them at the dentist. Said dentist? 23 with Mirror and Kellar as nurses. Outside a cleave gagged nurse collapses and Pink helps her up. Upon walking into the office Mirror, Kellar, and 23 ditch their disguises. The vader monster attacks Pink while the child they have is taken off. Once 23 teleports off everyone prepares to attack at Denziland until Yellow informs them of the cotten candy from the fair. Once the Denzimen go to the circus they are attacked by dustlers. Once the grunts teleport off the heroes look around with Pink finding a trap door. Inside said door is a bunch of fake Halloween vampire fangs. An alarm goes off that alerts the Vader Clan. Soon the teeth grow in size and attack. Once they are taken out Red uses the dezi scope and punch to bust a wall leading to their lab. The Vader Clan rushes outside with 23 getting his head kicked in. Blue takes on Mirror and Kellar for a bit while Red duels with 23. After that the intros and dustler slaughter happen. 23's toothpaste blinds the Denzimen a bit followed by his scapel briush flying around. Blue somehow manages to burry himself without disturbing the grass around him. After 23 gets a bunch of kicks and the Denziboomerang he grows. Red calls for Denzi Tiger which annoys Hedrian. Hedrer summons the vader fighters who fail like usual. Denzi Fighter turns into DDJ which easily takes on 23's attacks- wait, DDJ can ROCKET PUNCH!? Anyway one Moon Cut later and 23 gets the bisect and blow up treatment. The episode ends with the kids feeling better and Yellow telling Blue to floss. Next episode Yellow falling for a woman and 24 being a jerk.

22: Powers include a human disguise, a scalpel brush staff with telepathic control, left shoulder tooth paste, teleportation, summoning flying teeth, tooth bombs, and size changing
=================================================
Where to begin? So far Denziland's computer and IC are lackluster leaders for the sentai team, mainly because they barely do anything. Chieko and Tomoko are no different than their predecessors aside from one being Green's friend. Supposedly the group of kids are regular cast members, but I cannot tell who is who. Now to the main cast: Red is basically like the previous red rangers, all serious and that is it. Blue is given the most attention bar none, so much so it makes me wonder if Red and Blue had the wrong colors. Pink is no different from Red in terms of being different from past pink rangers. Green seems to be the combat expert of the bunch. Finally there is Yellow who does nothing but give exposition.... Seriously, he is the only one of the bunch that has not gotten a real episode (although ep 25 might solve that). Red could use a couple more, but otherwise it seems balanced.

The villains I do not know what to make of other than they seem like discount Space Sheriff villains. Hedrian shows more emotion than the other big bads, Hedrer is not that different from previous second in commands other than not being as active, and Mirror and Kellar seem to do the most work. I find it odd that despite their teleporting/jumping/dustler summoning/disguises/etc Mirror has actual abilities while Kellar does not even get a weapon.... Why? The Space Sheriff similarities continue as both remind me of Miss Demon 1 and 2 from Sharivan. Finally there are the mecha: Dezni Tiger having a tank mode makes it only slightly better than Battle Shark. DaiDenjin I am not sure if I like it more than Battle Fever Robo. On one hand BFR has more weapons, on the other hand DDJ looks more refined. I like them both for what they are.

Oh yeah and there is the sound and visuals to which I say HOLY FRIGGIN CRAP THESE ARE VINTAGE. Like the Space Sheriff trilogy they are very 80s and rockin'. Easily the best music of sentai thus far. In addition with the visuals the giant robot fights have somewhat improved from Battle Fever J simply by being slightly longer. Might as well mention the movie: It was basically a long episode that could have been a two parter. With everything up until this point I can safely say I like Denziman more than its predecessors unless the ending is really horrid.

Guardians of The Galaxy comes out tomorrow! This is nothing to quack about as we dive into part 9!

Episode 25:

Yellow buys produce from an outdoor market and instead fix's the ships scales. The shop owner thanks him. Red and Green walk over to take him away because I do not understand Japanese. Cut to Hedrer telling Hedrian something which amuses her. After that the shop keeper's daughter is met by some gypsy who offers a future read. Gypsy woman takes her to a mirror and has her recite a spell which causes an eye to appear. Her reflection comes out of the mirror to her shock and possesses her. The mirror was Mirror and gypsy woman turned out to be Kellar. After that it turns out Yellow had a date appointed with her and he meets up with her. They see some movie about truck driving- Oh her name is Reiko (did I spell that right?). Yellow munches on a cookie so hard the guy in front of him punches him out. At the apartment Yellow is fixed up while the others laugh. This causes Hedrian to throw a fit. Sometime later he goes to a private dance club to meet Reiko.... And the men are wearing those werewolf masks from episode 22. He freaks out a bit and runs. Reiko catches him, but Yellow calls out something is up. He throws her aside and runs until he encounters her again. Yellow transforms and uses the denzi scope to see the reflection while fighting the transparent eyeball.

Reiko wakes up and meets her reflection. She barely recalls what happens and gets possessed again. The next day Red and Green find him down while buying produce (are those potatoes?). Later that day Yellow and Reiko go to a park where they have an awkward date and and apple that is dropped explodes. Red and Green appear to reflect sunlight at her and the transparent eyeball appears to cast reflections. Once the eyeball disappears Hedrian yells at Hedrer who explains this is part of the plan. At Denziland Yellow tries helping Reiko with IC being uncertain. Her right eye opens and they see 24 in it.... Somehow. Yellow vows to save her with Red giving his support. Pink gives yellow a drop tool to soak up a tear that he seals in a jar. Said tear apparently contained 24 who grows to human size. 24 summons explosions and jumps around. He is eventually lead outside where the sunlight stuns him. The Denzimen wait for him as they do intros and attack random dustlers. Apparently they are not as Denziland anymore as there is lots of grass in the location. 24 duels with Yellow before ensnaring him with some abandoned tires (seriously). Blue uses his blue snake technique. The Denziboomerang us used on 24 before he turns giant size. Denzi Tiger launches to release Denzi Fighter for DDJ who promptly over powers 24. Before long the Moon Cut does the bisect and explode to destroy 24. The episode ends with Reiko back to normal and Yellow buying a watermelon that Blue and Green play catch with. Next episode shows Green at a music club and 25 attacking.

24: Powers include an intangible form, reflection spawning, size changing, psychic explosions from the eye, and an oar staff that returns if thrown

Episode 26:

Green is enjoying himself at a music club featuring some alternative singer yelling "honey". By the end Green walks up to him and it turns out the two are friends. The next day Red tells his students to stop dancing to Honey which is becoming a sensation across Japan. Cut to street dancers with whistles.... Yeah. The song enrages Hedrian although her underlings disagree. 25 is sent out to do something, specifically attack street performers that night before taking some little girl's record and scaring her. The next day Green goes to an empty cafe when his record starts flying around. He transforms and uses the denzi scope, spotting 25 on the record player. He chases the vader monster outside and fights random dustlers. Red and Pink show up on the Denzi Machine to help. At Denziland the heroes listen to the record with IC commenting about the Vader Clan. They have a flashback of Denzi Princess from the movie because.... I don't know, but the word "Akuma Burai" keeps being said (evil brute?). Blue, Yellow, and Pink fail to get street performrs to calm down. Chieko and Tomoko show up to tell the same to motorcyclists and fail. Meanwhile Green tries to convince his friend about it only for him to run out (I think his name is Kanuki but I cannot tell). Suddenly the street performers are hit with a green camera filter that gives them bad rashes and ccauses motorcycles to crash. Why? Because 25 is a dick.

Green's friend performs at a park when 25 shows up to attack. Red and Green show up to send to vader monster running. At Green's home he feels sorry for not listening to him sooner. Somehow this relates to the Denzi Princess as Red explains complete with wonders of the world such as the landscape art in Peru and the Giza Pyramids. They listen to a record which makes Pink cry. That night at the music club the Denzimen blend into the crowd. Hedrian complains about it with Hedrer asking her to calm down. 25 takes some dustlers to attack a warehouse of records. This also causes all records and casettes across Japan to go nuts while Red tests a silver record in the middle of a field which annoys Hedrian to no end. When even Hedrer feels the effects he sends 25 and his goons to destroy it complete with fast motion. Just as they are about to destroy it the Denzimen show up for intros and grunt beat down. Yellow, Green,a dn Pink attack 25 all at once to little avail. Before long the Denziboomerang is used. However, 25 disappears during the explosion and grows big which forces Red to call on Denzi Tiger who releases Denzi Fighter to become DDJ. 25 finds himself outclassed during the fight until he attaches a bunch of record bombs to DDJ. However even that, in combination with his bladed staff, still fails to save 25 from the Moon Cut which cuts him down the middle with a fiery explosion. The episode ends with street performers enjoying the music about honey once more. Next episode shows kids catching bugs and 26 acting like a maniac so badly cops show up.

25: Powers include a record form, record bombs, a bladed staff that emits heat waves and a cannon in the tip, plague spreading, psychic explosions, telekinesis, and size changing

Episode 27:

Five dustlers spread rhino beetles with Hedrian asking why. They are thrown at three other dustlers with Hedrer explaining they are bombs. He goes on as we see kids with butterfly nets. Cut to a teacher punishing two boys until they claim they need to use the bathroom. They use the chance to run from school when they encounter Mirror and Kellar in disguise. They lead the boys to a tree stump with their rhino beetle bugs. The two are impressed and start collecting them. Once they run off the stump is revealed to be 26. The two boys show their friends after school until Chieko and Tomoko chase them. They accidentally run into Blue and Green with Chieko complaining they let them get away. Blue notices the bag of one of them on the side of a bridge and tries to retrieve it. Upon it dropping the beetles go off and everyone is shocked. Meanwhile the kids meet up for Red's martial arts class. They show him the rhino beetles with Blue and Green warning him. The beetles are taken to Yellow on Denziland for analysis. Turns out they are robots too. Later the boys start celling the rhino beetles when Chieko and Tomojo do another chase, this time catching them. At the police station they complain and Chieko does not care. Blue and Green walk in demanding where the beetles were. During this three other boys throw their beetles after they die and someone reports this to 911 as Chieko gets it on her phone.This causes the two boys time to run.

Blue and Green inspect the area in costume and the news alerts the region of these beetles. This could never happen in America without a corporation or political faction being blamed. Anyway construction work rips up the area which pleases Hedrian. During this the Denzimen find Mirror and Kellar with the former throwing grenades- WHY DOES MIRROR GET EVERYTHING AND KELLAR GET NOTHING? Yes, serious question. Anyway, dustlers get beaten up while the boys get some money for celling the rhino beetles. Blue and Green go after Mirror and Kellar with 26 being summoned to do battle until the two boys come running. They find no beetles and one pulls out a magnifying glass which causes the sunlight to get into 26's eyes. He transforms unwillingly and attacks them with Blue noticing. Dustlers tie up the two boys and drop rhino beetle bombs down their shirts while having them luge down a long street. Blue and Green save them and take the rhino beetles out. After that Blue starts kicking tree stumps as 26 throws his hatchet and uses some vines to tangle the hero up. 26 tries to kill him, but the other Denzimen show up. The heroes do intros and whoop grunts. 26 waves a tree trunk around before throwing it. The five heroes slide kick him at once and the vader monster flees into a tree. Red manages to use a ground surge before Blue is attacked. After bomb beetle throwing which has the Denzimen rolling down a hill the five of them kick 26 all at once before using the Denziboomerang. After an explosions 26 grows, Red has Denzi Tiger launch Denzi Fighter which turns into DDJ. The two clash a bit and the Denzi Ball causes bomb beetles to explode beneath 26. After a weapon clash between the two 26 tries out maneuvering DDJ only for the Moon Cut to slice him down the middle and blow him up. The episode ends with both boys being punished only to run off. They spot a normal rhino beetle on a string from Blue and run. Next episode shows Pink at the beach spotting George Clooney Dracula, and 27 attacking.

Episode 28:

Some guy who sort of looks like George Cloony sees some woman at a beach who drops something. Not Cloony sucks a fish into his hand and runs off as he is being chased. The chaser tracks him to an abandoned house. After seeing a rabbit he wonders around until he finds a basement with old dolls and stuffed animal trophies. Suddenly the wind picks up a bit and the objects act like they are haunted. After that a voice speaks to him that he will die. Said voice is revealed to be 27 who freaks out the chaser who had a gun. Then not-Cloony walks in with Mirror and Kellar popping in telling the chaser to run. Not-Cloony does what I think is voodoo that turns him into Dracula.... Yeah. This causes the chaser to run off a cliff and die which Hedrian likes. Cut to Blue running with Red's martial arts class. Soon everyone meets up at Denziland where Red shows them a film reel of not-Cloony as Dracula- You know what? I am calling him Dracloony from now on. Pink recognizes Dracloony as he goes into a car. After the team exchanges talk we then see dustlers serving Dracloony as a dinner with Hedrian and Hedrer. Dracloony is given pictures of the Denzimen. 27 acts rude and Hedrer tells him to screw off. Meanwhile the Denzimen patrol the shore looking for Dracloony. Just as some painter recognizes him he dies of voodoo. Blue gets injured and is dunked underwater followed by the other men. With only Pink left 27 and the dustlers attack. Pink barely manages to save Red and Green while Dracloony claims 27 interfering prevents the voodoo from working.

At Denziland IC tells Pink about the voodoo. She goes out swimming and Dracloony's crystal ball spots her. He finds himself unable because.... Whatever the reason he walks off to meet Pink in person. He takes his shirt off and we get a close up of his shoulder which gets a scorpion tattoo. Dracloony sucks Pink toward him which knocks her out. He hypnotizes her into coming along to his abandoned house. The men transform and look around, soon seeing a compact mirror. Dracloony attempts voodoo on the other Denzimen. Just as he stops Hedrian orders her men on him. 27 and his goons attack Dracloony and accidentally wake Pink up who grabs a knife. 27 eventually kills him and Pink transforms. She runs outside to fight the dustlers, but 27 throws her down a cliff. Once Red and Blue return the favor the Denzimen do their intros and dustler beat ups. Pink duels with 27 until Red beats him up a bit. The Denzimen then charge all at once at 27 before being caught by rings. They somehow start disappearing which causes a comedic dialogue exchange. The Denziboomerang is used and after the explosion 27 grows big. Red has Denzi Fighter launcher from Denzi Tiger so DDJ can be used. DDJ gets restrained by rings for a bit until it does a ground surge to stun 27 before doing the bisect and explode via Moon Cut. Next episode shows Green showing a picture which makes him go nuts.

He talks to Red for a bit which gets him surprised about something. He takes another picture of his thoughts which shows Denziland. Red takes him there and they talk. Predicter gets nervous with both unaware Kellar is taking their picture. Red takes predicter inside who is afraid of IC until he shows him paintings of what happened to the Denzi Star (which looks more like a planet). Insert episode 1 stock footage here followed by movie stock footage. Meanwhile Kellar gives her picture to Hedrer as he discusses the matter with Hedrian. After that Mirror and Kellar go undercover to find predicter as he picks them up in his car. After bad English he is sprayed with knockout fluid. At the Vader Castle he is subjected to a Denziman slideshow. Mirror is given.... A pair of eggs? Whatever it is Mirror injects them into predicter.

Red teaches his class at the stadium. Shortly after predicter shows up with a revolver trying to kill Red. The hero kicks and tosses him. At the apartment they restrain him to a chair and Pink uses the denzi scope to find out he is brain washed. At Denziland Yellow shows him footage of 00's attack in episode 1 and 01's attack in episode 2. After some more stock footage of various vader monsters they do some with vader fighters and DDJ. When that fails Red screams and lands two punches on predicter's face. During this Hedrian laughs as Hedrer tells her the news. Predicter breathes heavy with IC commenting. Soon he starts choking with an egg in his mouth. Red and Blue take him through a tunnel to a street where the egg turns into 28. The others show up and does their intros.

Three men pack tools with one in a white hat giving instructions. All three then recite a pledge written on the wall. After that hat guy sneaks around a fancy mansion and judging by cobwebs on a door is abandoned- Nope, the Vader Clan is testing stuff.... Specifically making a dustler flat and causing a sonic boom. He eventually goes back to normal and gives some gold artifact to 29. Hat guy gets noticed and runs off. Eventually Red hears him outside and saves him via dustler beat up. Red asks why hat guy was chased, but he refuses to cooperate. Hat guy eventually finds his two friends at a hospital who are at a hospital with some girl named Miki. After they talk Red meets him outside, but hat guy and his friends run to a warehouse.... With an office? Red uses the denzi scope to spot them going to a secret basement and listens in NSA style. Cut to Hedrian being shown the gold artifact. After Hedrer explains it her face lights up (figuratively). Meanwhile the dustlers catch the trio with the Denzimen beating them up. 29 joins in which gives hat guy time to flee.... Into the house from earlier. 29 is eventually taken into the chimney that did the flattening and sonic boom. 29 and Red fight a bit until the chimney closes in. 29 gets angry and teleports off. Meanwhile the others find some old guy and two maids tied up and cleave gagged with the former explaining something bad will happen. The two friends of hat guy start spilling the beans to Yellow. I think hat guy's name is Aniki but I cannot tell. Meanwhile hat guy finds a treasure of cold.... I want to say coins but they look more like dog tags. Eventually one he throws appears in Miki's hospital bed.

Hat guy's friends and Red run over to see the gold. Miki claimed she heard his voice when it happened. Hat guy can see them in whatever dimension he is in. After some light hearted exchanges Red compares hat guy to an angel as pointed out by a statue in the room. Suddenly they hear hat guy who.... goes off to Mount Fuji? Red grabs his two friends and tell them to not abandon him after tossing them around a bit. Akared would be proud.

Episode 31:

Blue applauds a magician couple as they finish their show. As he walks with the Mirror and Kellar spy on them. In the break room Blue gives the male magician compliments and the female magician is apparently named Mari and his daughter no less. Apparently magician dad is getting too old for his work although Blue still encourages him. Cut to Mirror and Kellar telling Hedrian and Hedrer about this because.... Whatever the reason they incubate an egg that becomes 30, but not before turning into imitation Denzimen and a floating clown. Hedrer claps and Hedrian laughs a bit. That night magician dad is levitating in his own bed as 30 (in clown form) does it from his shelf before popping out. 30 talks to him a lot while doings tons of flips. Magician dad seems upset once 30 disguises himself as him. 30 laughs and walks away. The next morning Yellow serves everyone coffee and Blue munches on two rolls at once. Red stands up and mentions the Vader Clan. Magician dad walks in and he and Blue go on a walk for touching discussions. That day Blue and Yellow watch him do a trick involving him being restrained in a large box much to her daughter disapproving. She presses a detonator that sets the box aflame with Red and Green dousing the box with fire extinguishers. They get magician dad out and before going far 30 pops out from the box. He attacks Blue and Yellow in clown form who easily lose. 30 leaves a message before teleporting off. At a hospital room magician dad is dead and Mari cries her heart out. After her is buried, Blue gives Mari a heart filled monologue that it was not her fault.

Mari attempts to learn magic tricks and does so with ease. Hedrian seems displeased by this when Mirror and Kellar tell her. Suddenly Mari's hair turns white and 30 starts talking to her about how she should give up. Naturally Mari refuses even when she ages.... and becomes a cow? Weird illusion. Later Mari does a magic show outdoors with the Denzimen watching. During a fire cracker trick some small girl (I think her name is Yui or Yuri) gets hurt. After we see Mirror and Kellar in a car we see at the apartment that the girl is okay after Mari blames herself. That night Mari goes to her apartment to find 30 there threatening to do worse. The next day she does a show with Mirror, Kellar, and 30 watching. A dustler warns them of Blue coming so they hid. He decides to help with a trick involving an automatic saw- Oh it is the old slice in half trick. Soon Blue gets hurt and knocked out with Mari screaming.

Once Blue kicks 30 the Denzimen do their intros and dustler smack down. 30 spawns rose pedals that blow up. Blue is catapulted into the air to attack 30.

Episode 32:

Blue and Green watch Yellow fire some sonic weapon while on the range. WHY!? They are knocked out and Yellow considers it a success. Red runs in and Yellow tells him about it with Blue and Green getting up with hurt ears. Red talks about how it will better the arsenal. Later Red walks in with a group photo of the team before he plays a betamax tape.... Which has Hedrian challenging the Denzimen to a duel. Cut to Pink who is shopping for clothes with a sniper in a black mask in her crosshairs. He misses as Pink helps a child up. She soon spots black mask and tells the team via.... wait, SHE HAS NO COMMUNICATOR IS SHE TALKING TO HER WRIST!? Anyway, the Denzimen rush over and Green is soon shot from behind. Black mask reports this to Hedrian who tells Mirror and Kellar to continue. Meanwhile Chieko meets up with the team at Green's hospital room where- Wait, he dies? SERIOUSLY? Pink notices Mirror and Kellar who teleport to black mask to tell him Green is dead. That is until the other Denzimen surround them with Green appearing to be alive and well. Soon they transform and black mask is revealed to be 31. Dustler appear only to get their butts handed to them. At the Vader Castle Hedrian scoles 31 with Hedrer asking her to calm down. After that Pink teaches her class swimming lessons before sending them on a bus. As the bus leaves dustlers appear and hijack it complete with tossing the driver out. Four kids on bikes notice it. Hedrian watches on her TV set as Hedrer explains the plan. The kids that notice tell the Denzimen about the bus jacking.

The Denzimen head out on vehicle soo finding the bus. 31 fires at them with explosive rounds, soon injuring Blue. Pink uses the machine gun on the Denzi Buggy to fight back while the others help Blue. 31 laughs at them before they run through a punch of cement pipes. 31 teleports around to find a better shot although it does not work. Red and Green talk about a plan with Blue finally reaching the Denzi Buggy. Blue and Pink drive closer to the bus until 31 starts firing on it and a pair of dutlers bring out a mother and daughter for a few seconds. The bus starts moving and Red tells Blue to use Yellow's super cannon. It knocks out both dustlers and hostages alike. Red throws his denzi stick which knocks 31 off his sniper nest. Blue and Pink rescue the hostages as 31 deals with Red, Yellow, and Green at once. Once he sees the bus going he tries sniping again only for the Denzimen to do their intros and grunt whooping- oh wow, dustlers use bazookas now. The Denzimen spend most of the fight mocking them Lony Toons style. During the fight 31 kills his own men. Yellow fires his weapon at 31 which cuases both weapons to collide, knocking 31 down again. After the Denzimen use their denzi sticks on him all at once 31 grows big with mines going off. Red has Denzi Tiger launch Denzi Fighter who turns into DDJ. New landing pose this time with the arms directly down. The Vader Monster barely manages to hold his own with DDJ as he gets pumbled and his tail grabbed. 31 uses his fire arms until DDJ spawns a pair of bomb darts and punches the vader monster outright. 31 meets his end with the Moon Cut complete with bisection and a fiery kaboom. The episode ends with Chieko scolding Green for deceiving her with Red explaining although Pink says something that angers him. Chieko throws Green down and walks off. Next episode shows some saxophone musician found by Mirror and Kellar, 32 attacking, and the Denzimen protecting a large vase.

31: Powers include a sniper cannon, a human disguise, teleportation, size changing, a revolver, and a triple barreled turret

Episode 33:

Hedrian tells Mirror and Kellar to go out as she laughs. Cut to riot police greeting the Denzimen as they slowly drive around. They meet up in a fancy museum and the entire reason they are there is for a large ancient vase (Greek?). Suddenly 32 appears on a roof top to scout the area. He soon emits some yellow sonic energy that breaks a window and blows the vase up. Red uses the denzi scope to find him and the Denzimen pursue the vader monster. On the roof top 32 laughs and emits bad music from his saxophone head. He gets beat up a bit and sends his dustlers to help. At the Vader Castle Hedrian laughs at 32's failure. Later we see some guy playing a saxophone which annoys his neighbor (Blue) to no end. Later Yellow takes a look at the instrument to find it is broken. The musician's father tells him to help him wax his car. Later we see the musician look at a new sax in a window with some woman willing to buy it for him if he auditions for.... Something. He tries out and succeeds with the judges being Mirror, Kellar, and Hedrer in disguise. Meanwhile Red looks at the paper with concern, so much so he uses his serious face. Later that day the Denzimen help a punch of traffic cops. During this musician has a hard time moving his bike. Pink goes inside to guard a horse painting. Musician plays his sax which emits destructive sonic energy that shatters the painting and a vase which amuses Hedrian. An old plate becomes shattered next followed by a few other artifacts.

Yellow analyzes.... Something at Denziland. Red comes up with an idea that IC elaborates on. They wonder around the streets looking for.... I do not know. During this the musician's lady friend tries waking him up from his bed and she finds he has black eyes. His sax falls down and is revealed to be 32, scaring her off. Musician is creeped out and his lady friend tells Yellow about it. Yellow goes looking for the musician to no avail. Later the Denzimen guard a statue of what I think is a medieval Japanese emperor. Meanwhile the musician curses his instrument before trying to play it only for Yellow to interfere.... Which 32 stops by SUCKING HIM IN. WHAT!? Red throws his denzi stick to force 32 to fight. The vader monster tells them he has Yellow in his body, but the heroes still attack him. By pounding 32's head in the ground Yellow is freed, along them to do intros and whoop dustlers. Weird editing moves the scene from a park to a quarry. 32 uses his sonic attack to mess with their heads and smacks them with his bladed staff until he is kicked down a hill. Yellow does a pile driver until the team gets a face full of explosive gas. Soon the Denzimen out maneuver him before using the Denziboomerang. 32 grows to cause a mess which activates mines followed by Red calling Denzi Tiger to launch Denzi Fighter which turns into DDJ. The giants clash for the statue's fate, 32 being quickly disarmed and out matched as DDJ has little trouble roughing him up. DDJ.... somehow spawns a bracket to redirect 32's note bombs followed by that pink circle wind direct move used two episodes ago. According to the Japanese Wikipedia it is called the Denzi Return. Anyway, Moon Cut does the bisect and explosion on 32. The episode ends with the musician playing a normal sax which annoys Blue a tad. Next episode shows dustlers running a newspaper and 33 rolling down a hill.

32: Powers include sonic energy waves from head saxophone, a bladed staff, teleportation, a saxophone form that can suck people in, explosive gas from head, size changing, and music note bombs
