Captain Shark Reviews Gorenger and Beyond!

[Captain Shark]

At the time of this post I am currently fighting cyberbullying at Anime Suki, details to come later depending on what happens (complete with links). For that reason opinions will be saved until the next time. In the mean time here is part 6.

Episode 31:

The Carrangers pray at a shrine for RV Robo while is chained up at Baribarian while Bray King is being repaired next to it. After a recap of last episode, Hitchhiker vows to make them pay while Grotch shows him a report he made on the new vehicles. VRV Master pays the Carrangers a visit with Red saying they are worried. VRV Master says their answer is in a park where they play volley ball. Supposedly they will get a reward if they do not drop it. Yellow asks what gives and VRV Master walks off mentioning red switches. Green thinks they should continue anyway while VRV Master plays pachinko games... At the same place Gainamo and Zonette are working. To be fair, if kaijin can get a barber shop gig in Jetman I suppose customer service at a pachinko bar would be allowed, hinting that there are kaijin sympathizers within the population. VRV Master is tracked around town when VRV Master notes that his usual barber is actually hapy so he must be an imposter. Turns out he is right and it was Richhiker while the real one is tied and cleave gagged in a closet. Richhiker chains him up and whips him while the Carrangers keep up their volley ball training. The Bowzock contact them on their accel brace and transform while Richhiker beasts up VRV Master, demanding answers. The Carrangers show up after Zelmonda and Grotch do, demanding to know what is going on. Wumpers ccome out of the urn and receive a bunch of pain in the face as the Carrangers do their intros. Richhiker curses them and unleashes Modified Bray King who now sounds like Ebirah. Victrailer is brought out on Red's command and the Carrangers seemingly teleport to the victory ranger vehicles.

The Carrangers go in arsenal happy which flunks- Oh snap, an Eye Slugger homage from Ultraseven! Modified Bray King has a cage with VRV Master in it, angering them. Red sees a red button, the switch mentioned earlier, and tells the others to press theirs. After that the vehicles turn into skating robots. Red takes back VRV Master who notes they are called the Victory Fighters. It is five against one, a match you cannot use at Toho Kingdom's fantasy matches because having too many combatants causes boo hoos to fragile egos. Modified Bray King holds his own despite the assault. Red catches a cannon ball, gets inspired by the volley ball, and they use the Gorenger Storm with it. VRV Master tells them to pull the blue switch aka a button which turns the fighters into VRV Robo. He tells them to use the Victory Twister which is using both guns on top of Victrailer. With the barrage both Modified Bray King and Richhiker blow to pieces. The episode ends with Gainamo and Zonette eating grilled food when finding out what happened via the news as the Carrangers look at the sunset which VRV Master notes can blind people. Next episode shows RV Robo and VRV Robo fighting each other and Red sword fighting.

Modified Bray King: Powers include flight, eye lasers, a remote blade on the head called the King Slugger, and a torso cannon

Episode 32:

Oh hey, new footage in the opening. At Pegasus we see Red singing about whatever to a model car (a Model-T?). Pink tells hhim to get down from the roof. Red sees a VHS tape from VRV Master who states it is up to him to lead his team. This shakes Red so much that Green has to yell at him. He tells them VRV Master returned to Earth and left cryptic messages, causing Red to panic from repsonsibility. His body freezes from anxiety before cutting to the saloon where Zelmonda is thinking of being the leader and prepared to fight Grotch. A light appears which happens to be Gainam and Zonette, the former wanting his gang back. Nobody has a problem with that and Gainamo says they will be their violent selves again. Zonette collapses, remembering the food she ate last episode, now an addict to the cucumber kimichi. ZZ Gyuri is summoned to get her some, going to Earth and telling Ichitaro to show him where said food is. During this Red gets a massage and the accel braces alert the Carrangers of the Bowzock. Red gets fired up and goes nuts upon transforming. Ichitaro takes ZZ Gyuri to a restaurant and walks off just as Red shows up ahead of the others who scold him for running off. The word leader makes him nuts and wumpers gets slaughtered upon being summoned. Red becomes kind of a glory hog when protecting his friends. ZZ Gyuri is told by the shop owner that Korea has much better cucumber kimichi and even shows it on a globe. During this Zelmonda and Grotch finish modifying RV Robo who Gainamo tells to head off on its own. RV Robo lands on Earth with four wumpers and ZZ Gyuri piloting it. Blue notes they are heading for Korea while Red summons the victory ranger vehicles. Oh hey, new eye catch.

RV Robo and VRV Robo square off with ZZ Gyuri noting the batteries on the abdomen are also bombs. The Carrangers are at a disadvantage and not sure what to do. They wait so long that the Sun starts to set. RV Robo finally whips out some weapons to dish out punishment. Red proclaims himself as leader while everyone notes he is going nuts. He heads out to get onto RV Robo, which the others cannot do for some reason. Red uses his legendary vehicle to drive down a street just as VRV Robo is about to be slain. He jumps into the cockpit and starts fighting the Bowzock. This allows VRV Robo to recover as Red slays wumpers in other sections of VR Robo. He makes it to the battery where he and ZZ Gyuri duel with their swords. ZZ Gyuri is eventually knocked off and the battery blasted off where it lands on the monster and blows him up. The others are happy that RV Robo has been rescued while Red says it must be returned to base as he heads back into VRV Robo's cockpit. ZZ Gyuri is revealed to be alive and eats a potato bar to make him grow. VRV Robo goes into melee combat where it dominates the fight before ending it using the Victory Twister. The episode ends with both mecha viewing the sunset and the Carrangers relaxing. Next episode shows Dappu waking up and the Carrangers around a bunch of fire.

ZZ Gyuri: Powers include teleportation and a sword

Episode 33:

Pink uses a thermostat to take Dappu's temperature, noting his temperature is down. The others conclude he will wake up soon from hibernation. He dreams of events of the first episode when his homeworld was destroyed. He then has a dream of his parents, glad they are okay. His mom spills the beans he will wake up soon before she and his pop teleport off. Dappu finally wakes up and sneezes. Cut ot the saloon where the Bowzock hang up something while Gainamo gives a lecture. He unveils the hanging sign that says they are now Hell Bowzock- BEING SMART WAS NOT THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO YOU! Grotch tests a new cola on a monster named UU Ussu who runs around like mad. Zelmonda asks him questions he fails at while Dappu spies on the Carrangers who intend to celebrate him waking up. After that the Carrangers take a van to the countryside to prepare for what I assume is a picnic, unaware he is using a TV screen to see it all, no idea where the camera is though. UU Ussu shows up on a motorcycle which emits flames from the exhaust using the dolt cola, causing a forest fire. They transform and Victrailer is sent out so the victory ranger vehicles can be used. They go into fighter forms and use fire extinguishers and rock dust to dampen the flames, soon ending it. UU Ussu calls them jerks and his motorcycle gives out. He drinks two bottles of the dolt cola to get super heated and runs around to start another fire.

UU Ussu says he will run fast enough to set the world aflame so the Carrangers jump down to fight only to get beaten up. Dappu sees this and accidentally changes to the weather channel where everyone is feeling the heat and the weather lady mentions worms. The worms give Dappu an idea and he thinks that by surprising the Carrangers they will be massively disappointed in him. Normally I'd call that dumb, but considering how immature they act I would buy it. The Carrangers try finding water only to find out all the water is hot. Dappu shows up in disguise as a fortune teller. They just tell him to get lost before realizing he looked familiar. Dappu looks at other costumes- OH HELL NO, NOT A SEXY NURSE. He dresses up as a rock star, even referencing Macross 7, and mentions worms. The Carrangers get an idea and head off, commenting that it was Dappu, and going after UU Ussu with both legendary vehicles. They then give lectures and UU Ussu grows big via potato bar. The victory ranger vehicles then form VRV Robo to do combat. UU Ussu gets punched before the Victory Twister takes him out. After that the Carrangers set up the picnic with Red taking Dappu out of the van. Everyone seems happy and tell him they knew this whole time before announcing that they have a new "racercise" which is basically dancing. Next episode shows the return of White Racer and a robotic cat.

UU Ussu: Powers include emitting heat waves from the body and mouth flames

Episode 34:

Red has a day dream moment of him and Zonette while the others work on RV Robo and even gets scolded. Red says it is complicated and promises to shake her hand. On Baribarian Gainamo talks about how to deal with VRV Robo by renaming themselves Devil Bowzock. A photographer named FF Munchori takes a bunch of pictures while Grotch mentions he made the potato bars more nutritious at the cost of them smelling bad. A missile nearly hits Zelmonda with a letter attached saying it is for Vanitimiror. Zonette takes it and it says to meet at the oden restaurant on Jupiter- THAT IS SATURN NOT JUPITER. JOKE OR NOT THAT IS STUPID. She goes there, and I am assuming there is a spot on Jupiter where you can see space like in Ultraman Taro. She recognizes a fanbel diamond and it turns out to be her sister who is White Racer. She brings up that she has her pendant from nine episodes ago and thought she was in the Bowzock. The two bicker while Gainamo realizes Zonette's real name and thinks Red is behind it. FF Munchori volunteers to fight while the two sisters talk about going home. A pic of Red falls out from her wallet, I think, and White Racer says she is not giving up on her as she leaves. FF Munchori shows up before we see Red writing a note for Zonette before Dappu sounds the alarm. White Racer is being chased by FF Munchori on a road and crashes her car. The Carrangers show up and fight. FF Munchori gets kicked and teleports off. White Racer is greeted by the Carrangers in civilian form and she says she wants to see Red.

White Racer tells them Zonette is her sister with Red mentioning there was more to her. He almost gives himself away, but Green stops him. White sees a sign for some love fest and FF Munchori shows up to fight them. Since White is around they cannot transform so they run as she does it. The transform out of sight and show up to pose before fighting- And another dumb panty shot. At the saloon Gainamo is told off by Zonette before going back to Tokyo where fighting ensues. He also gives them embarrassing photos. They get tangled in film strips, leaving only White to fight back, using her Radicar to turn into a robotic cat named Radicar Robo. It teleports over to FF Munchori and punches him. It then encases the right hand in energy to cut the bonds of the Carrangers before running out of power. FF Munchori becomes kaiju sized via a potato bar and Red calls in the victory ranger vehicles to become VRV Robo. FF Munchori teleport spams to annoy them so the Victory Twister is brought out to terminate him. White encounters Zonette and gives her a love magazine with the Carrangers showing up. Red says to try it and even offers a handshake, but wonders off, The others head off to do other things. White complains about how Red cannot be her big brother before Zonette heads off into space. The episode ends with White saying she will be back with a stronger Radicar Robo. Next episode shows the return of Signalman who blames the Carrangers for something that happened to his son.

FF Munchori: Powers include a sonic megaphone, teleportation, explosive flashes from the head flash, and entrapping films from the hands

Episode 35:

Rock-paper-scissors determines lunch with Red having to go get it. On Baribarian Zelmonda bops a guy for saying the name changing does not help them as the new name is- Oh snap there is none! Gainamo says he thought of it and got nothing. Zonette wants to be fed before cutting to Red on a bike to get the food. He sees Ichitaro and the Kooban Base which for some reason has cobwebs despite being outdoors. He thinks he misses Signalman before getting the lunch trays from a food van. A monster named GG Bone shows up to be a jerk and Red tells him to have manners. Fighting happens shortly after with Red being hungry. He stops the fight to transform. Once GG Bone places his food in his car the fight continues and Red complains about being hungry. Signalman shows up and rams him. Even GG Bone finds it weird. Notably his signal lights are off. The food van owner tells him not in front of his shop, but gets ignored as Red is shot. He is forced to run away and questioning him does not work. During the fighting Signalman mentions his son and his Signalizer in baton mode does a ground surge. Red uses the Navi Shot to form energy ropes just long enough to get away. The others wonder where Red is and he comes back all bruised up. At the saloon Zonette wonders the same thing. GG Bone calls saying that Signalman is hunting the Carrangers. Ichitaro spots Signalman who rides his motorcycle at him, nearly running him over, and proceeds to chase him. He mentions about the Carrangers saving the kids while Red is being patched up. Blue asks where his lunch is when Ichitaro runs in saying Signalman is attacking kids.

Signalman are circled until Red throws his sword and the Carrangers arrive. The kids flee and Signalman says he will have his revenge as he proceeds to smack them around baton style. He mentions how upon returning to Polise that emissions from the Carrangers have caused the atmosphere on his world to be hazardous with his son among the child victims. He also breathed some exhaust and went nuts. Red says they must have been set up and Signalman does not buy it. GG Bone proceeds to fight them as well. Signalman is thankful for his help as the Giga Booster is called in to use the Booster Cannon on GG Bone. Zelmonda shows up to talk to Signalman while GG Bone grows big from a potato bar. Victrailer is sent out from a new hanger followed by the victory ranger vehicles being sent out of it to form VRV Robo. GG Bone gets knocked around for a bit before the Victory Twister destroys him. Zonette complains about being hungry and pours pepper on Gainamo to munch on him. Zelmonda shows up with Signalman in the saloon. Ichitaro writes "I really really hate you" in chalk on Kooban Base before running off as the Carrangers show up. The episode ends with Gainamo and Signalman agreeing on something while a guy in gold comments that everything is going according to plan. Next episode shows Sirender fighting the fighters.

GG Bone: Powers include high jumping and coin bombs called the Swindled Change Attack

Episode 36:

After a recap of last episode, Dappu does some analyzing with computers outside near a TV station. He looks at Polise's atmosphere and finds out the colored gas has brainwashing properties. They wonder who is behind it and Dappu thinks the plan is too smart to be from the Bowzock. They also know Signalman's body must be cleaned. Speaking of him, he is trying to flirt with Zonette when Gainamo stops him. Grotch says he got a florist named BB Koiya to go after the Carrangers, Signalman wonders how that would work. BB Koiya explains that he will water some plants, plant seeds on them, vines will grow on them, and space bees will attack them demanding nectar. Signalman finds that idea interesting before cutting to Dappu doing computer work. He figures out how to help Signalman and says they need strong carbonation from sparkling cider to burp it out of him. Red says it is stupid and Dappu points out the job has to be done when the accel braces detect the Bowzock. The Carrangers transform and head out in the legendary vehicles because what happened to their go carts? BB Koiya does his thing and they show up. Pegasus Thunder and Dragon Cruiser get vined and Red thinks they will get stung. The bees get smacked off while the vines are torn off. The bees then fire lasers from their stingers before being shot themselves. Signalman shows up, allowing BB Koiya to sit as he does the assaulting. Red offers him cider only to get punched. Sirender gets summoned and goes into robot mode where the Siren Vulcan is fired on them. Those are tiny fires from what is supposed to be a finishing move.

The victory ranger vehicles are sent out and Red suggests to tire Signalman out so he will want a drink. Lots of punching and kicking goes around, Sirender holding his own against them with Signalman saying they are cheating with numbers. Gotta love the circus music in the background. Sirender gets dizzy and Signalman says he needs a rest. Red cells sparkling cider in his civilian form and tosses one to the police bot after hee asks for some. Guess the cockpit is open, how else would the bottle get in? The gas gets burped out and Red tells him everything. Sigtaro takes some to clear him of his sore throat and the colored gas leaves the planet. Zelmonda shows up and throws BB Koiya and a space bee potato bars, causing growth. Sirender fights BB Koiya directly while the space bee fights the fighters, forcing them to form VRV Robo. The V-Guns are used to blast BB Koiya and help Sirender. Signalman uses a Siren Dagger to cut down the space bee while the Victory Twister takes down BB Koiya in a fiery explosion. Signalman approaches Ichitaro and the Kobaan Base where he dusts off the cobwebs and dust. This makes the boy realize he has gotten back to his old ways and starts helping out by wiping off the chalk graffiti. The Carrangers like what they see and the episode ends with Dappu saying that something serious is coming as Gainamo gets angry and gold guy from last episode sets his sights on Earth. Next episode shows the introduction of gold guy.

BB Koiya: Powers include vine flower seeds that attract space bees, controlling space bees, a laser pistol, a vine from the back of the head, and electric shocks

Pain. Suffering. Misery. Anguish. Angst. Sorrow. Outcast. Exile. Sadness. Despair. Tragedy. Punished for a crime other people committed toward you. Would you be okay with somebody that was beaten up being charged with assault instead of the attackers? That is what happened to me at Anime Suki. What happened? I am in the process of defense at the moment, all will be revealed when it is over (and hopefully rectified). In the coming weeks expect another PSA, but mostly in pastebins.

Now here is the final lap for the penultimate part designated to be part 7.

Episode 37:

I did not find out until later the robot's name is Norishiron and the subbers took creative liberties

Dappu talks about VRV Robo when he notice's Pegasus is gone while Dragon is still around. Blue and Yellow mention the Carrangers are in a newspaper. Red and Pink went out for errands with the former's legendary car. Dappu points out that is a bad idea and Green does not care. They act overconfident and stuff while Signalman complains nobody is out today. More haughtiness over an unbroken winning streak before we see stock footage of various defeats the Bowzock read. Grotch points out they had a wing and two draws while they won thirty four times. Zonette says they should go straight an Gainamo mentions opening an oden shop on Jupiter, technically Saturn since that is what the picture is. Zonette points out she's be in agriculture if she returns home. The saloon goes dark and a menacing voice talks. A light shines from a window that forms into gold guy from a while back. He reveals he was the one that brainwashed Signalman, proclaiming himself the puppet master of evil that bends the universe at his whim, Exhaus! He decrees that he must continue using their biker souls and tells them to turn Earth into a rocket. Gainamo points out their loses, but Exhaus says that will make them overconfident. He shows off an issue of Space Land, a magazine for evildoers, and assembles paper robots from it. Grotch is sent out to construct it, cutting the paper up before gluing it up. Exhaus thinks to himself of his great plan to cause a lawless highway in space filled with accidents and planets being in the way of construction. The robot is construted and is named Folderon 12, kind of reminds me of GR2 from Giant Robo. Zelmonda pilots it to Earth as Grotch mentions he forgot to attach anything. Signalman sweeps when Folderon 12 lands near him.

The alarm goes off and Dappu tells them so the Carrangers transform. Sirender is sent out while Exhaus gives orders which annoys Gainamo. Zelmonda has the paper robot go boxing happy. Folderon 12 uses its acceleration speed to use Sirender's cuff to tie it up. VRV Robo arrives just after that while Exhaus tells them to keep the Carrangers overconfident. VRV Robo trashes him and Dappu points out their overconfidence thanks to Blue's comments. The Victory Twister is used, but Folderon 12 uses speed again. Navi Com is used to locate the bot behind them. Folderon 12 uses Sirender as a meatshield before using an ax Turbo Robo style. Dappu recognizes the decal on Folderon 12's arm as the fight goes on. Red thinks they got too careless and just before th final blow Folderon 12's right arm stops moving properly. It eventually falls off when Grotch mentions he had an important pin. Folderon 12 grabs its arm and flies off. Exhaus zaps Grotch while at Pegasus Red and Pink admit they were selfish to Dappu. He replies that Exhaus who is powered from the opposite of the car constellation, the Evil Legend of Stars He asks where they others are and Red says they are on patrol. They return with pure fruit juice and the episode ends with him throwing a fit. Next episode shows Pink meeting some guy.

Folderon 12: flight, twin head horns that fire energy bolts, speed, an ax, and twelve laser guns in the torso

Episode 38:

Exhaus releases another bolt from his palm because they did not recognize how angry he was last episode. Folderon 12 is being repaired while Dappu gives words of encouragement. Pink notably looks at a magazine and says he will be leaving soon as her hororscope says she will meet the ideal made today. Everyone is flabbergasted as she runs off. Grotch points out that the bakery he gets the bars has closed down because the baker is exhausted and thinking of retiring. Exhaus tells him to restore his yough as he forms a rejuvenation cream. Gainamo appoints a makeup artist named PP Chippuli to do the job. He arrives to the baker's house where his wife freaks out and the cream is applied to the face. In seconds it works after being peeled off. He freaks out too and runs off. Pink waits around at the street stop her hororscope mentions when the baker crashes into her- And gratuitous panty shot. Pink is excited and mentions destiny which he decides to go along with after awkward dialogue the baker reveals he is named Imotaku. After a quick montage he offers to make cakes with her. PP Chippuli shows up and Imotaku tells him to beat it before facing him in combat and boy that ends bad. Grotch shows up to stop him from being killed only for him to fight back. The others show up and Pink tells them he is her destined guy who even does the Kamen Rider Stronger pose. The villains teleport off and Imotaku's wife shows up looking for him, who turns out to be Ume. She explains everything and Imotaku spills the beans. Pink finds it gross and passes out.

Pink wakes up and points out how adultery is wrong. Ume gets rightfully sad at the NTRing. The men mention that being young clouded his mind. PP Chippuli points out this could ruin his plan so he shows up to say his cream was meant for chaos to have the Carrangers chase him down and transform. PP Chippuli runs by Signalman and creams him which causes him to shrink into a kid. Wumpers get summoned from nowhere to act as cannon fodder as intros are given- Oh lord that female voice version of the opening theme is bad. Pink duels with PP Chippuli and easily beats him to a pulp until Folderon 12 returns with repairs finish. The victory ranger vehicles are sent out by Red so VRV Robo can be formed. Imotaku and Ume run with the latter carrying the last potato bar they ever made. Grotch manages to take it in the chaos and feeds it to PP Chippuli. Sirender shows up to make it a fair two against two fight. During the fight Folderon 12 is sprayed with it and returns into kit form where it explodes. After that the Victory Twister is used to destroy PP Chippuli. The dust from him turns Signalman back to normal followed by Imotaku- WAIT A SEC, THAT BAR WAS EATEN, WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE IT!? He says he will not retire after all and the episode ends with people inline for his bakery including the Carrangers. Next episode shows a killer plush toy Blue takes with him.

PP Chippuli: Powers include flight, teleportation, and high jumping

Episode 39:

Exhaus says he likes Earth highways which inspire his own. He demands that Gainamo strip the highways and allows them to use something called Beager. Grotch goes to Earth to chase balloons that carry a package. It lands near Pegasus and Pink takes it to the others. Red says lost objects like this should be taken to the police when it starts rattling. Inside is a furry alien that everyone except Blue is freaked out over which he hugs. Grotch gets zapped as Exhaus points out that beager was the last member of his species, aliens that eat concrete that have destroyed contruction points on many worlds. Earth has a way to multiply them as high as ten thousand. Gainamo says they should use their best animal tamer, CC Pachone. Cut to Pegasus where Dappu says to put him in a cage with Red saying he might have diseases. Blue has feelings too strong while Green states his teeth are bad before being bit. The beager flies off and Blue goes after it- And I just noticed it has shoe feet. Blue thinks he was abused and promises to be his friend no matter what. The beager relents and decides to trust him. He proposes they eat something so he bikes off and gives him milk, chocolate, chunk- WHO GIVES AN ALIEN VODKA? Also I don't think the right eye lid is functioning on him. That sunset he starts drooling before getting caught by CC Pachone. Blue gets literally whipped as PP Chapone and Grotch teleport off. That night we find out that Japanese fresh water (maybe it is microbes?) and powdered space jute increases cell division to make more of them. In a cave they play chemist and place the concoction into a punch of water bottles with one fed to him. Blyue tells the others that he has always had a fondness for animals in trouble much against the disapproval of his mom. He could not save a single animal and as an adult promised to help any that need aid. He soon starts crying before running off.

The last water bottle is about to be forced on beager which causes it to scream. Blue finds them and throws a rock. He unchains beager and runs out, PP Chapone and Grotch being handled by the others as wumpers are sent after them- Oh wow, Yellow got thrown off a bridge. Grotch uses a powerful exhale so CC Pachone can find Blue who the wumpers catch up to. He manages to lose them in a pond. He notices beager needs a dentist and heads to one to perform dental surgery- NO, THHAT IS NOT HOW DENTISTRY WORK. CERTAINLY NOT ON A LIFE FORM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH- AND HE SPEAKS WHAT THE HELL!? After that he flies around and munches on a concrete wall before getting full. He tells Blue that his species was enslaved by Exhaus to consume highways on countless worlds. Since he was the only one that did not try escaping only he was spared. He also reveals the space highway plan. CC Pachone takes him via his whip and demands he eats a highway. Blue tries fighting, but that flunks miserably. Blue transforms during the fight and kicks beager out of his hands while promising to avenge his fallen comrades. The others show up to pose and fight off wumpers. Beager turns into a yellow energy ball and bashes grunts to help out. Blue then fights CC Pachone himself and gets in an upeprcut followed by twin laser gun spamming. CC Pachone eats a bar to make him kaiju sized followed by Blue calling the victory ranger vehicles to become VRV Robo- No, wait, fighter form first. Blue faces CC Pachone alone briefly before VRV Robo is formed and ends the fight with the Victory Twister. Beager mentions that with his teeth fixed he can eat anything now and Blue proposes he eat rocks. The episode ends on a heart warming note. Next episode shows Green mentioning someone was good and the return of RV Robo.

CC Pachone: Powers include a whip, teleportation, left eye lasers, and a chain on a cuff that emits electric shocks

Episode 40:

The Bowzock do construction work that involves a shovel claw and gunpowder with Zelmonda overlooking everything. Exhaus mentions it is part of his plan the Carrangers should fall into easily. Zonette wonders what the hell is going on before cutting to Pegasus. Red notices Green is missing when they others tell him he is at a shrine praying for them to win. Instead he mentions a sports team when the alarm sounds. A monster trips around and encounters the Carrangers who begs them to save him. Zelmonda attacks the monster with exploding cards, mentioning him as a traitor with secrets before sicking the wumpers. The Carrangers fight them off while giving intros out of order. The monster helps Green a little who attacks Zelmonda to return the favor. The Navic Buster is used to send him running. The monster is bleeding and Green wraps the wound. He takes him out for taokyaki which he seems tso enjoy. Green acts pompous and gets buddy-buddy with him to the point of giving him a friendship band. He mentions the Bowxock has terrifying plans, specifically an underground base that is almost done. Dappu does not trust him because the Bowzock signal responded to him although Red is uncertain about this- Wait, why didn't the alarm NOTIFY THE CONSTRUCTION WORK ON EARTH!? Every time they enter the atmosphere that happens! During this, Green and the monster eat udon at his place before being called back. His and Dappu bicker about the still nameless monster. Also the fansubbers really love appostrifies. He runs off and the others follow, saying they are a team and such to the point of trusting him. After that they transform and head out in the victory ranger vehicles. A phone rings at Green's apartment, the monster being told by Zelmonda everything is just as planned. He takes off the bandages and band, his eyes turn red, and he walks off. VRV Robo is then caught in a bunch of explosions from the ground and chained to a cross that teleported in the city. The monster shows up, thanks Green, and grows big from eating a bar.

The monster, STILL NAMELESS, attacks VRV Robo- Screw it I am looking it up on the Power Rangers Wikia. Ah here it is, OO Batton, who also did Ninjaman and would become Dr. Z in Akibarangers. How does Judau get around so much? The sentai makers must have liked ZZ Gundam. Anyway, hammer time as VRV Robo gets bashed with Dappu sending out the classic ranger vehicles. The Carrangers run out and form RV Robo. Red says they were maintaining it this whole time before getting attacked. OO Batton forces them from the city to the countryside. Also this guy is quite strong as he easily flings the giant robot followed by bashing the legs. The drill portion of the hammer is lunged, but caught only to let go soon after. Green yells at OO Batton about Osaka takoyaki. This makes him act good briefly. Green gets the idea that they should split apart and so they divide the vehicles. Green and the Women use their victory ranger vehicles while Red and Blue use the regular onces. Green tells them to combine the vehicles to form Naniwa Robo. The RV Sword is unleashed, cutting the hamer, and ends with the Victory Twister, an ember remains following the explosion. Green looks at his headband as the others show up to comfort him only for him to say not to worry. The episode ends with Green singing. Next episode shows Dappu with sunglasses and a black jacket.

OO Batton: Powers include a hammer with a drill on the butt and mouth flames

Episode 41:

A painting of the space highway appears in the saloon and Exhaus explains about how reckless the driving is. He offers them lifetime passes on it if they eliminate the Carrangers. Also it is Christmas as we cut to Earth when Green realizes he bought not presents yet. Pink goes off to buy some when a box falls from the sky for the Carrangers. Inside bursts out the space roach now named II Roachy. Red notes they have seen him before with Yellow noting his big lips. The Carrangers transform off screen and do a pose before II Roachy kisses Yellow, making her weak. Pink also displays her fright of roaches despite having none earlier. Red gets a kiss that makes him faint followed by Green and Blue getting it, respectively. Pink gets it last as Dappu watches on a monitor. They soon return to normal and assault II Roachy. He flies off back to Baribarian and gets scolded for being useless. Exhaus says the plan was a success as they drew Car Magic from them. He thinks a sixth Carranger is helping when Zelmonda mentions Dappu. Exhaus finds it odd that a native of Hazard survived, but with him gone they should win. At Pegasus the Carrangers return from shopping when Dappu asks what they will do for Christmas. They mention having families and hope he will hold down the place. He then makes up a rule about how they should spend Christmas together because that is what heroes do. Red calls him out and he just wanders off, looking at a book he colored with them celebrating Christmas. To be fair he is an orphan and doesn't have family to spend it with so his attitude is sensible. Also we see VRV Master getting done at an alien barber.

Exhaus gives the Bowzock new champion robots named Sky Gigune, Marine Zaboon, and Land Zuzoon aka a Sun Vulcan refence. Zonette decides to take the eagle robot, which sounds like Heisei King Ghidorah, and take sit to Earth. Dappu walks around in a black jacket and sunglasses. He spots a Christmas cake he likes while Red wonders where he is. He spots Dappu's coloring book, but the alarm goes off and he is called into action. Sky Gigune releases fliers from the mouth, Dappu pickinh one up which says Hazard Seijin survivors are having a reunion. Zonette encounters VRV Robo near Mount Fuji and fighting ensues. Red is told by the others to get out and confront her as she gives him a shojo manga, I think. Exhaus says he has their weakness as Conette's car drives on its own. Red tries jumping on and it fails as it is implanted on Sky Gigune. Red heads into VRV Robo's cockpit, the women scold him for no reason, and Rodan roars ensue as Sky Gigune flies around. Grotch is sent out in Marine Zaboon who uses Hedorah's roar. Dappu realizes the fliers are untrue, but wonders if it is, perhaps his dad being a survivor. At the risk of having a bad Christmas he goes anyway because idiocy. He asks some random guy sweeping about the meeting when he is surrounded by people that suddenly teleport away. Marine Zaboon apepars from the coast to place Dappu in a cage without a floor that manages to catch him up. VRV Master has his shopping bag ripped open at the bottom while VRV Robo gets dropped from a high place. Sky Gigune keeps blasting it while Exhaus says everything is going to plan so he withdraws the eagle bot. Green reads the manga and Red takes it back- Oh it is a journal! And it mentions car magic. Dappu is taken into space to end the episode on a cliffhanger, proving that like the Bowzock he does not need respiration in such a vacuum. Next episode shows VRV Robo and RV Robo losing power and the return of VRV Master.

II Roachy: Powers include life draining kisses called Roach Kisses, teleportation, and flight

Episode 42:

After a recap of last episode we see Dappu imagining what Christmas would be like with his dad before waking up in the saloon. Zelmonda says he slept too long and Grotch taunts him. Also his hands get roped up by Zelmonda. Zonette scolds Gainamo for not telling her that her car was tinkered with. Cut to the Carrangers looking for Dappu and unable to do so. They wonder if they were too hard on him when VRV Master shows up. He asks if Dappu is well and Green says he is missing. Yellow gives him one of those fliers and he rips it, saying Dappu is the last of his kind so it must have been a trap. We see him chained to a table with a pendulum activated because Edgar Allen Poe reference. The machine malfunctions and Exhaus says Dappu can be used. Gainamo throws a fit about being ordered around before Grotch is told to take Marine Zaboon to Earth. The Carrangers think Dappu is dead and VRV Master gives him hope, saying he might be interested in car magic. The shark bot makes its attack in Tokyo Bay, causing the Carrangers to be alerted and transform. VRV Master tells them to watch it and VRV Robo is formed. Grotch is told to drain their energy and that is done via detachable shark fin. Marine Zaboon knocks VRV Robo into the water where it clearly slows down and thus gets worn down. VRV Robo loses energy fast and Red has the shoulder cannons take it to the surface. The fight resumes and Sirender joins in. Signalman says he was in Nagoya lately and proceeds to let them walk off. The cannot believe VRV Robo is out of energy.

Dappu is roped in a chained up room. He sees New Year's cards from Gainamo. One of which says destroying planets that begin in Ha is great and a flashback determines that is why his homeworld was destroyed. Alson the sender was Exhaus who just wrote his name backward. At Pegasus, VRV Master mentions the car magic they run on which is the magic of dreams- NO, IT WAS STATED TO BE SPACE MAGIC, YOU CANNOT BACKTRACK YOUR OWN LORE LIKE THAT!Red brings up the notebook Dappu used to draw and everyone looks at it. They feel bad for not knowing so Red asks him to help them save Dappu. He calls them selfish and asks what they will do. Green mentions they still have RV Robo so they head off once he gives approval. After he energy trails into the sky RV Robo is formed to fight the shark bot with Sirender. An alarm goes off in the room Dappu is in because there is a fire. He manages to sneak out and almost steals a car, but Zelmonda catches him. He fights him and Gainamo followed by some wumpers. Zelmonda nearly strikes him when milk coffee containers are thrown at his card sword. In a dark hallway VRV Master reveals himself. Gainamo recognizes him and VRV Master gives Dappu milk coffee to use as shurikens. More wumpers go down as the robot fighting continues, RV Robo losing energy fast during it. Once the villains are down VRV Master says he is passing as an alien and even notes the milk coffee shuriken thing is something his dad did. Zelmonda fires a sword bolt at VRV Master as his car is taken and leaves for Earth. Exhaus fires palm bolts at them, causing the car to shake. VRV Master asks if he loves justice and dreams and once Dappu says yes he rams himself into Exhaus's face. RV Robo's energy drains dramatically to end the episode on a cliffhanger. Next episode shows not-Sun Vulcan robots fighting the Carrangers and a Christmas party.

Sky Gigune: Powers include flight, waist rotation that causes hurricane winds, and beak laser blasts
Marine Zaboon: Powers include flight, swimming, torpedoes on the wright wrist, a left hand drill, and a detachable shark fin that can be encased in energy
=================================================
Not counting eps 41 and 42 here. So, ranger balance, Red is a camera hog while everyone else gets reasonable screen time with Green having a tad much by one episode. The forced romance between Red and Zonette is poorly built up and kind of tedious. After Signalman returned he was barely used to the point that you have to wonder why bother bring him back? He does so little. The rangers themselves still act kind of immature as we enter the last quarter of the series and even after realizing they should not be overconfident they act too jokey. I know this is supposed to be a comedy series, but really? A horoscope? Exhaus I have no complaints about. Zelmonda and Gainamo had something of a friendship going at first, but once Richhiker got more intelligent that went out the window. In fact, after that the villains kind of stopped being interesting. VRV Robo I have no problems with, what I do have a problem which started with Dairanger that the secondary robot virtually outshines and completely replaced its predecessor. Only in episode 40 is RV Robo back in action which is a real shame because the fight between the two sentai mecha were legitimately good from a story perspective since the Carrangers clearly cared about them. Also, their go carts are gone and the legendary vehicles stopped having minds of their own. In fact the finishing weapons are barely used at this point. It seems like this series was running out of ideas and they just threw everything at the wall until something stuck. Sometimes it stuck, but for every one thing that stuck another nine didn't land, probably three not even hitting the target board. The best thing about this series is that while it tries to be as over the top and goofy as possible it does have very nice world building in it, we learn more about the sentai universe beyond Earth than we normally would, we find out about what aliens like in their cultures. Plus if Exhaus really is the puppet master he claims to be it gives context about things in previous sentai series which I will fan theorize about next time. As for this series, yes it is a massive step back from Ohranger, but it is the BEST step back fifth series. Aside from the ranger balance, Signalman not doing much, and Exhaus, this is pretty much what I would have said if I did opinions last time.

Last chance to vote in the strawpoll, 4 votes say end with Gokaiger, 2 votes for to never stop, and 1 vote for ending with Ninninger. If this ends up being the final vote tally I am going to have another straw poll when we get to GoGoV or Timeranger. Skip Gao through Gosei and skip to Gokaiger or go through all nine? Gotta be honest, really not looking forward to post Timeranger stuff.

 

[Captain Shark]

Finish line crossed! Time for part final!

Episode 43:

After a recap of last episode, Exhaus demands Gainamo get Dappu back as he vows the destruction of his race. Once Land Zuzoon gets a sinister close up we see Marine Zaboon nearly beating RV Robo and Sirender. Signalman tells them to aim for the cockpit. Sirender keeps the shark robot still and the Plugnade Spark sends Grotch packing. RV Robo runs out of energy before the Carrangers spot the car Dappu is in which crashes. They head out to find him unconscious and wake him up. He hears whispers of VRV Master who walks toward them, calling him dad. The Carrangers are confused as the two hug, but VRV Master grabs Dappu and is revealed to be Zelmonda in disguise. Wumpers get unleashed to get slaughtered. Once Land Zuzoon shows up with Gainamo piloting, he uses a torso beam to beam up Dappu and chain him up so car magic can empower the panther robot. Sirender tries dragging Marine Zaboon off only for Zelmonda to be teleported into the cockpit. Sky Gigune shows up soon after with a computer chip piloting it. Th victory ranger vehicles are sent out by Red as Exhaus says he will send them to the depths of Hell. Considering how easy it is for innocent people to go to Hell in this franchise it is sadly believable. Anyway, Land Zuzoon holds his own against hte fighters while Sky Gigune and Marine Zaboon fihgt off Sirender. Dappu has his energy drained during the fight. Blue wonders if all hope is lost and Pink tells him to can it.

A fire ball of car magic is launched. Gainamo says he will now use the finishing beam as the fighters and Sirender are down. Dappu remembers what VRV Master said as the beam charges. The Carrangers tell Dappu not to give up and Red mentions they want to spend Christmas with him. Dappu starts to sob about how selfish he has been and proceeds to overload Land Zuzoon. His medallion also powers the fighters up to a hundred percent, allowing VRV Robo to form. Land Zuzoon goes first and gets punched up. Red takes command of RV Robo to help even out the fight. Both mechas use the Victory Twister, the V-Bazooka taking out Sky Gigune and the V-Vulcan taking out Marine Zaboon. The fight is over when the Victory Twister and RV Sword destroy Land Zuzoon as Dappu is able to escape via vulcan fire. The Carrangers celebrate the return of their mentor. That night the Christmas party occurs complete with Christmas presents. Green mentions that the six of them are present when Blue mentions a present nobody bought. They open it and it is from VRV Master, some milk coffee. The episode ends with Dappu singing and a guy in a Santa suit with kids waving at Red who is flying around Tokyo- Oh wow, car magic also makes snow. Also Zonette thinks of Red becaue Christmas in Japan has romantic undertones to it, so I am told. Next episode shows a car chase involving a wrench.

Marine Zaboon continued: An anchor
Land Zuzoon: Powers include a torso tractor beam, wrist claws, high jumping, and hand fire balls composed of car magic

Episode 44:

At the saloon everyone gets ready for New Year's when Exhaus shows up to spoil the fun. Gainamo mentions all their cars are in the shop being repaired. Exhaus says them must get a legendary cosmic wrench that can instantly repair any vehicle. Rumors said it landed on Earth and so he grants them a car called an Exhauster. Cut to the Carrangers saying they are enoying their day off when they hear a crash. Turns out Signalman's family is joining him on Earth as their car crashed. Yellow gets to work fixing it which gets done in seconds. Signalman introduces his wife and son, Sigue and Sigtaro, the latter thanking them. Green tries to be super friendly while Signalman asks for her number. After they leave, a car drives past them driven by MM Shuriski who steals Yellow's wrench. He takes off with a wumper driving the Exhauster with Yellow using her go cart to chase after him. He explains to her that the wrench she uses is actually the evil wrench the Bowzock were looking for and it easily knocks a tire off. The others pursue with Yellow riding with Blue and Green. Yellow mentions that the wrench is important to her as she liked fixing vehicle since she was a kid. Her grandpa thought of cars like people as sad music plays and that the wrench was from a second hand shop. To her it is treasure even if it was evil once. MM Shuriski uses the wrench to create gas ports that form cannons to fire at the Carrangers followed by flying buzzsaws. This works as Dragon cannot continue, leaving only Pegasus. Yellow is asked if she can repair it.

Red and Pink are shot down via missile launchers, causing them to land and unable to fly. They flee as Zelmonda shows up with his repaired car to join in. Meanwhile, Yellow loses confidence with herself and thinking she had no talent. Green points out it was a normal wrench when she used it and Blue states she can still do it. Signalman joins the pursuit to help Red and Pink. Zelmonda's car goes down with one signalizer shot. However, he has to swerve to avoid a sudden missile attack, Signalman admitting everyone makes mistakes. Blue and Green head off while Yellow tries doing it on her own. Because it took this long for anyone to remember this is a legendary car, it starts moving on its own at a sluggish pace. Yellow remembers what her grandpa said and so she repairs Dragon while Pegasus sustains damage from the fighting once Blue and Green show up. Yellow tightens some bolts to make the legendary car function again and arrives to save her friends just in time. More car chase weapon exchanges insue as she transforms with an insert song playing. She jumps on the Exhauster to fight MM Shuriski, takes back her wrench, jumps away, and shoots the vehicle down via Navic Blaster. MM Shuriski grows without a bar assistance followed by Yellow having the victory ranger vehicles forming VRV Robo. MM Shuriski uses his wrenches in melee only to fail and gets terminated from the Victory Twister. Yellow finishes repairs on Pegasus and Dragon who seem happy, Blue being sad he gets less attention. Next episode shows Zonette in a wedding dress.

MM Shuriski: Powers include size changing and a pair of wrenches

Episode 45:

Red daydreams about Zonette getting on a bus when the others get on his case about it. He replies that he will tell her he is Red to which Green realizes makes them easier to find. Cut to Baribarian where Exhaus wants Gainamo who is napping. Zelmonda takes his place and suggests to throw a wedding for Gainamo and Zonette to encourage them to destroy Earth. Exhaus thinks it is worth a shot and will cover expenses. Zelmonda realizes Zonette might not want to do it when MM Musubinov shows up as he is the best when it comes to matchmaking. Red eats a fortune popsicle and reads his horoscope which point to him winning Zonette. He spots her running in a wedding dress and chases after her. MM Musubinov shows up to hassle her as she tears the dress off. Also this guy has love arrows, one misses her and hits a bench that falls in love with Gainamo. The others show up, but since Red is not in his costume she gets disappointed. Red tries to explain what happened when he transforms in front of her. He tries to confess when MM Musubinov attacks to distract him and eventually beat him down. Zonette gets super disappointed and nearly hit again. Red takes her off as the others use auto punishers on him.

Gainamo gets his necktie ready with Zelmonda helping him. MM Musubinov shows up and Zelmonda scolds him. He tries to say Red's secret identity, but Zelmonda just kicks him away without interest. At a church we see the two sitting away from each other. Red soon approaches her and asks if they could be friends. She replies she only loves Red as a Carranger and trots off. I think this is the first time in this take on I've used the word trot. Anyway, she looks at a lake to remember stock footage of her and Red. MM Musubinov shows up via teleportation and chases her down only for Red to punch him. He gets beaten up rather easily as Zonette points out he cannot do much. He manages to take some love arrows and bust them. MM Musubinov then turns into a bunch of rope called the Helping Hands to restrain Zonette. She dishes out a sword to attack Red against her will. He says that even without transforming he will win so he hugs her with his bloodied hands. The sword drops and MM Musubinov turns back to normal. Red picks up the sword and charges forward, impaling him in the gut before falling over. MM Musubinov grows on his own when White Racer and her cat bot show up to help. Radicar Robo grows Ultraman style to help out the fighters which just show up. The Victory Twister is brought out to destroy MM Musubinov. White says her homeworld is in danger of being part of the highway Exhaus is making. Zonette says goodbye to the Bowzock and thanks Red for giving her courage as she turns into a Sailor Moon knock off that turns out to be her real form. Before the sisters go off they smile at the Carrangers, ending on violin music. Next episode shows the Carrangers losing their suits.

MM Musubinov: Powers include a bow and love arrows, an energy cord form the mouth that forms a letter, explosive confetti from the mouth, teleportation, a rope form called the Helping Hands, eye lasers, and size changing

Episode 46:

Exhaus thinks about the constellations of his enemies and sees them suffering before the world blows u. This turns out to be a dream from Dappu. He tells the Carrangers about his dream and Green and Yellow easily blow it off. Blue and Pink tell him to calm down while Red says he should have good dreams. He proceeds to walk around while the Carrangers bother training for the first time in a long while. Lots o' commentary afoot during this as Dappu watches in the background. Cut to Exhaus mentioning once every million years the wine of the wine barrel constellation will weaken the guardian spirits of the car magic constellations, allowing him to steal the constellations himself. He approaches the Bowzock as the saloon is mopey because Gainamo is upset at his lack of marriage to Zonette. Zelmonda tells Grotch to let him be as he walks around crying. Exhaus tells him not to cry who replies that he does not know how he feels. Exhaus says he should replace it with hatred for the Carrangers as he made his ultimate robot: Norishiron Final. Basically the first but repainted silver. Gainamo, Zelmonda, and Grotch get in and pilot it. It flies off while Dappu looks at a book to reference his dream. The alarm sounds and the Carrangers transform once on the scene. Norishiron Final appears in the city with Gainamo saying they will finally win. VRV Robo is brought in once the victory ranger vehicles are summoned. The V-Guns fire, but they do too little against the onslaught. They use an attack called the Final Twister and VRV Robo divides into the fighters. This allows them to gang up on Norishiron Final and even the score. They combine shortly after and Gainamo tells them to attack when combining in the sky. This fails as the Victory Twister is fired, busting up the robot. The villains find out there is no eject button.

The villains are defeated and Gainamo throws a fit. The Carrangers show up and tell him to go straight while Zelmonda sends in the wumpers. Ichitaro sees this and decides to draw the fight as they give intros during the fight. During this, Dappu reads about the wine barrel constellation, also confirming these spirits are real enough to get drunk. Also this episode reveals the day being January 24 and in 1997. Exhaus inhales the constellations into himself and laughs maniacally. The Carrangers turn back into their civilian forms one by one. Ichitaro is stunned followed by the Bowzock. They try transforming again which fails. The ranger vehicles are unable to start up followed by VRV Robo powering down. Gainamo likes this and has his crew hit the town starting with the Carrangers. Ichitaro tells Signalman about this and asks for his help. The episode ends with Exhaus saying how his highway plan will be complete once Earth is destroyed with maniacal laughter and Gainamo commenting that the end is near for the Carrangers- Oh my, they fired laser muskets to end the cliffhanger. Next episode shows the Carrangers doing their pose in civilian forms.

Norishiron Final: Powers include flight, an ax, hard gusts called the Final Typhoon, explosive eye flashes called the Final Flash, and a Victory Twister imitation called the Final Twister

Episode 47:

The Carrangers survive the gun barrage somehow and rush back to Pegasus. Green gets coffee before the wumpers bust down a freaking wall and attack. Red gets his right arm cut as Dappu leads them to the hanger. Zelmonda cuts the door down as they try to escape. C4 is planted around Pegasus and the Carrrangers and Dappu are surrounded long enough for the explosives to go off around them as the Bowzock escape just in time- WOW that explosion was huge. Signalman and Ichitaro investigate the wreckage, the former thinking they died because of a blood stained license plate. At the saloon the villains act all happy when they encounter a bunch of trash all over the place. Exhaus praises them before stating that Baribarian will be the intergalactic dumping ground. The Bowzock no longer serves a purpose and thus he is tossing them aside, stating they are garbage before zapping them. The garbage catches on fire as Exhaus states the flaming Baribarian will be used to destroy Earth. Ichitaro and Signalman still yell for the Carrangers when the latter finds some stairs to the under portion of the base. VRV Master is spotted leading them out of the wreckage, Ichitaro sees this and hugs Red. Signalman asks how they survived and VRV Master says that while Dappu was hibernating he made an underground bunker and reveals he is his dad- Wait a sec HOW WERE YOU NOT HIBERNATING EITHER!? VRV Master tells them Exhaus stole their car magic from the constellations as Baribarian heads for Earth's atmosphere. Wow that planet is small. Blue points out without their powers they cannot do a lot, Yellow even admitting they were not cut out to be heroes. Signalman states he will save Earth himself. The fires are extinguished on Baribarian, but Grotch is unable to steer it away. Sirender is called into action, grabs the planetoid (which barely seems to clock in at a two kilometer radius), and tries flying forward which fails miserably. The Bowzock get into their cars to abandon their base as Baribarian lands in the middle of nowhere. Signalman then fights the bar crew himself upon existing arrest. Exhaus throws a fit Earth is still around and heads for it.

Ichitaro is bummed out, but says they are still around in spirit. Insert stock footage flashbacks here with each of the Carrangers. Red says they are still the Carrangers in spirit with them repeating the phrase before heading out to help Signalman. Was Pegasus on the outskirts of town? They do their poses and camera zooms. Gainamo sicks his goons who all fail horribly. The fight itself is quite amusing. Red gets punched hard by Gainamo who fires wrist lasers only for them to be reflected. By what? A force field from Zonette's crystal. She tells the Bowzock they are fighting the wrong people and should go after Exhaus. He declares the wreckless emperor their primary enemy and ask the Carrangers for forgiveness and to be friends. They seem flabbergasted, but Zonette notes they must stop Exhaus to save the universe and even kisses Red on the cheek. Gainamo freaks out as Red says they must work together. Signalman asks how and Red says the only way is to crash Baribarian into him. Gainamo says to aim for his gut before Red punches him, saying the Carrangers must be used to take their car magic back. They get into the planetoid and proceed to pilot it when Grotch could not earlier because oi. It heads out of the atmosphere with everyone else looking at them heading off into the cosmos. The episode ends with Exhaus slowly moving toward Earth. Next episode shows the Carrangers being back in costume.

Exhaus: Powers include levitation, teleportation, palm lightning bolts, star energy consumption, and fire ball throwing

Episode 48:

Exhaus heads toward Earth when Baribarian crashes into is torso, causing an explosion. Dappu's medallion lost them, meaning the worst likely happened. However, Baribarian crashes to Earth again and emerging are the Carrangers in their costumes. VRV Master comments that Exhaus's seal was likely stopped. Red says the wreckless emperor has been beaten when he shows up to them, kaiju sized and without his cape. He has gathered evil power throughout the cosmos to become Exhaus Super Strong. Grotch gives Gainamo a bar upon request and becomes a giant, Zonette commenting on how cool he is. Suddenly he shrinks down to normal and his stomach hurts, Grotch finding out it passed the expiration date which annoys Zonette. The Carrangers bring in VRV Robo to use the V-Guns, but Exhaus just knocks them off. The Victory Twister is stopped by his palms as Signalman tells the Bowzock to cheer the Carrangers on. The Victory Twister is rechanneled back followed by Exhaus turning his right hand into a sword to impale the mecha. VRV Robo is thrown, but gets up only for bolt spam to ensue. The Carrangers think of evacuating, but Red tells them to trust him. This inspires them and they decide to continue moving forward. Exhaus gives them the standard resistance is futile proclamation as VRV Robo manages to grab him. Dappu sends out the ranger vehicles at Red's command. The Carrangers get out just as VRV Robo explodes and reach into the ranger vehicles. Exhaus still stands once the smoke clears.

RV Robo is formed once Exhaus laughs the kamikaze attack off. The RV Sword uses the Racing Slash on Exhaus, specifically a Combattler V style version called the Hyper Crash. Exhaus gets a hole in his abdomen, but regenerates it thanks to evil power of the cosmos. He then throws fire balls at them, knocking RV Robo down and heavily damaged. Gainamo rushes toward them as RV Robo is on fire. Gainamo then throws the remaining bars into Exhaus's mouth, causing him pain. Zonette then kisses Gainamo as the puppet master shrinks to human size and in his previous form which can still throw fire balls The Carrangers then use auto punishers followed by pulling a Changeman style turn into their ensignias and ram, causing Exhaus to explode. After that both sides, all former enemies, have a party that they have saved the universe complete with the mecha all being repaired. Some bickering over food happens before they all get one big picture together. In the epilogue Signalman returned to his homeworld for family time, Gainamo broke up the Bowzock to work in a restaurant, Zelmonda and Grotch went to elementary school to start over, the other Bowzock tried out theater, Zonette gets suiters on her homeworld much to White Racer's annoyance, Dappu and VRV Master wander the cosmos, and the Carrangers continue their day job. The ending has Red driving his dream car which breaks down, Blue sneezing over blueprints of his, Green falling from sitting down, Yellow being annoyed by a dysfunctional wrench, and Pink secretly munching on snacks.

Exhaus Super-Strong: Powers include mouth energy bolts, a tentacle in each shoulder, energy rechanneling hands, turning the right hand into a sword, throwing fire balls, and regeneration
=================================================
Aside from Red and Yellow getting extra episodes nothing changed in the ranger balance department. The ending was surprisingly upbeat, all the main villains minus the final boss got a happy ending out of it which really brings this series up. As for Exhaus himself he pretty much would be a jack of all trades villains not unlike Emperor Zule from God Mars: Very intelligent, very big, very powerful, very manipulative, very resourceful, disconnected from the necessities of life, and is cruel beyond what any regular humans could accomplish. Celestial body magic has been a thing in sentai before: Cassiopeia had it in Gorenger, Denzi in Denziman, Bio in Bioman, Earth itself and Bazeu/Gozma in Changeman, the flash system planets in Flashman, the sun in Zyuranger, constellations in Dairanger, and the dorin homeworld in Ohranger. This series also gives us a nice insight into what the Milky Way Galaxy is like, they have a pop culture like Earth. We saw hints of this in Fiveman since they have schools and circuses, but stuff like race competitions and magazines for evildoers is something. It isn't that different from real life, very evil people are sometimes viewed as celebrities in their regions, Osama Bin Laden was seen as such in Iran and Pakistan. Plus if Exhaus is the great puppet master that would explain how so many aliens have been on Earth in the past. If Kamen Rider continuity is mixed in he could have been the one to stand off against the Century King so many other aliens in rider and sentai series could invade Earth. It could be possible he is what Great Leader used to be before coming to Earth. As for sentai continuity (I'm leaving out Space Sheriff since the three mobs involved had legit reasons to go to Earth) a lot of aliens head to Earth for no reason, usually ultra destructive ones that bring chaos and conquest in their wake (The Black Cross Army, CRIME, Banriki Baoh, Silva, the Gozma Empire, the Mess, the Zone/Vulgyre, and arguably the Vyram) and since the guy is a master of creating chaos and havoc who is to say he didn't lead these guys to Earth? Ultraman Mebius confirmed Empera Seijin does the same thing with his Space-Time Wave, a similar principle can apply. In fact his star magic powers could have been what lured DaiJinRyu in Dairanger to Earth and have him go "See! Those Earthers sure are destructive, better take them out!" (and with an open portal to Hell in that series he can easily make a good argument for that) Hell, this would explain how the Zone Empire in Fiveman got as many aliens as they did frequently. So why use the Bowzock at that point? Maybe he always has been using them, he sent an invite for them to raid one planet he found to be pest riddled, why not use them more? After DaiJinRyu failed after so many other groups he probably figured he could control them directly for once to terminate Earth for good. Yeah, his scheming and grandeur is an excuse as to why Earth seems to be so ultra-popular with invaders for so long. I am not counting the Baranoia since A) they shouldn't be around for another three years unless Toei retconned them in which case B) Wrath wanted to return for his own revenge regardless of whether or not he would be lured.

So yes, overall the series has dumb faults, but it has more than enough charm to make up for it and it brought a lot of new elements to the table. Enough of the fan ramblings, rating time!

Carranger vs. Ohranger will be taken on next time, after that Megaranger will be started some time after, at least long enough to catch up on stuff I have been watching. The strawpoll ends once the crossover movie synopsis has been posted.

 

[Captain Shark]

Well this is a step up from the last crossover movie.

Carranger vs. Ohranger:

At Pegasus Red comes in a blue pick up truck that needs repairs. Yellow says she will do it later. Red wonders where the Bowzock are when we see them partying on Baribarian. Gainamo compliments Zonette's hands when Exhaus shows up hearing about a lack of reckless cars so he gives them gasoline barrels. If this gas is in Earth cars the Bowzock will acquire them. SS Statanzo is sent to Earth and the alarm goes off followed by the Carrangers transforming and heading out in the legendary cars. SS Statanzo fills vacant cars with gas to make them fly around Tokyo. Signalman enjoys the peaceful day when he spots the Carrangers and throws a fit they drove by without permission. They stop and point to what is happening- Wait, Signalman said the air is not his juristiction, is he really that bored? SS Statanzo shows up to explain the plan followed by wumpers attacking. Signalman gets hit before taking on the monster and forcing his pump up his nose followed by police brutality. He tells Red that he knows how to get the cars down. He remembers when he had to deal with punk kids so he sand a song about rabbit hunting that seemed to calm them down. Also, one of them has a similar face to Dada from Ultraman. They take Signalman up where he sings to them. The cars slowly return to their homes and SS Statanzo teleports off with the wumpers. Exhaus throws a fit and zaps him once he returns to the saloon. After that Red takes the truck back to the customer and walks to a hot spring resort with tanuki statues. He spots a strange Bowzock monster there, but there is no response from the accel brace. Two guys show up who happen to be Oh Red and Oh Blue, revealing the tanuki to be a machine beast. Red gets shoved and stomped by both the machine beast and Ohrangers as a chase gives way all the way to a shore. Bara Mobile stops running because no reason and Red shows up and the other Red gives him a card that he is with UAOH which he does not recognize. He demands an apology from the two and Bara Mobile points out they did the same thing so they must be bad guys. Blue mentions he is the last of the Baranoia when the others show up. Oh Green and Oh Yellow show up soon after, explaining Pink is at South America via commander's orders. Blue asks if they are in the military and they reply that they are the Ohrangers. Nobody recognizes each other so they have a time out and the Carrangers transform followed by the Ohrangers. Yellow says it is a bad idea without Pink, but they do it anyway. Pink shows up just as the Carrangers taunt them and transforms followed by posing. Grotch has an alarm that sets off so SS Statanzo leaves for Earth. Both teams fight their respective colors, the Carrangers being outclassed as Bara Mobile attempts to escape. The Choriki Mobiles are summoned to form OR followed by the ranger vehicles being sent out to become RV Robo. Punches exchange followed by swords coming out. Both Reds head out because Bara Mobile is spotted, Racer being the defender. Sword fighting ensues followed by laser pistols. The Bowzock show up and Gainamo reveals they are the enemies of the Carrangers with the wumpers avoiding the Ohranger. Also, Gainamo can fire a beam from his head spike. Bara Mobile is taken in Red's legendary car while the other Red goes on motorcycle with Bowzock forces following complete with the ability to phase through matter like parked trucks. Bara Mobile says the Ohrangers hate his research which was basically kidnapping people to make human-car hybrids to reconstruct the Machine Empire. Dappu tells Red he is likely a bad guy and Red agrees so he parks his car and gives him to the Ohrangers. The other Red wonders how he could do that so easily. Bara Mobile tells his plans to Gainamo and Exhaus says to allow him on their side. Wumpers attack followed by Zelmonda, Red Racer explaining they are space bikers. The women show up and Grotch acts pervy only to be kicked up.

Bara Mobile is taken by force and taken to Baribarian. Red gets on his jetter machine and suddenly flies off, the Carrangers deciding to ddo the song themselves when he goes above the clouds. SS Statanzo pops out to reveal himself like a moron before spraying the gas on them and lighting it via eye fire balls. Red gets in his legendary car and flies around to use the Final Burning on him, forcing the monster to retreat. The Ohrangers appear to wonder where their captain is and Red says the Bowzock took them. Pink threatens military court. Red is chained up at Baribarian with Zonette being flirty as Bara Mobile enjoys the bar despite being a robot. The Carrangers enjoy lunch when Miura shows up ticked at them. Dappu shows up when asked who is in charge as chief executive. Miura says the only way to save Red is to break into the Baribarian with both teams, saying he will even pardon their Red from military court. He mentions they will need special training which is briefly laughed off. Miura even asks about teamwork and they become silent. Dappu says not to go easy on them and I have to admit this training montage is hilarious as they must crawl along dirt. Pink even freaks out from a spider which Miura says she passes. After that some ritual occurs and Green says he knows the meaning of life. Red interrupts and gets a katana near his face. Yellow passes a crawl through wire exercise followed by Blue answering a question right after being subjected to a waterfall in his underwear, both times Red is threatened with a gun. With only him left, Red tries to jump over a wall and gets encouragement from dynamite. Well actually he crashes through, but good enough. Miura says he has nothing left to teach them as they take OR into space- WAIT, why are the Carrangers using- Screw it. Exhaus thinks about them as car half-breeds and teleports away while Red is hooked to a Baranoia machine used to test the hybrid plan. He tells Bara Mobile the heart of the Ohrangers will beat on before some levers are pulled to turn the machine on. The alarm goes off and the Carrangers make it to Baribarian. A stun ray stops them just as they find Red, Grotch saying Exhaus warned them as the bar staff restrains them. Zonette notes Red is missing so Gainamo tells them to do it anyway. Suddenly random screaming occurs and Red busts down a wall to fire on the machine. The others are untied and Red transforms to join the Carrangers in battle. They have OR head back to Earth to meet up with the other Ohrangers when wumpers, Bara Mobile, and SS Statanzo show up followed by both teams doing intros. The grunts easily go down followed by the respective rangers taking down their respective monsters. Wow Green, had to be glory hog there. The Ole Bazooka and Giga Booster in Booster Cannon mode are fired upon the fiends. SS Statanzo grows via a bar and Bara Mobile has size changing powers. Victrailer is sent out so the victory ranger vehicles can roll out and become VRV Robo. OR joins it in a two against two monster brawl when Norishiron 12 shows up as a red version called the Norishiron Extra commanded by Exhaus. Signalman shows up just as Miura and Dappu look worried so he summons Sirender. The Signal Flash from the torso is used to break up the fight so a proper three on three can be done. Bara Mobile gets impaled with his own sword, SS Statanzo gets his pumped torn out, and a Siren Vulcan takes out Norishiron Extra. The Crash and Victory Twister end both monsters in fiery explosions. The rangers meet up on the beach to celebrate so Miura, Dappu, and Signalman decide to join in the celebration as the credits play.

SS Statanzo: Powers include flight, car levitating gasoline from the torso pump, teleportation, fire balls from the eyes, and fire from the pump
Bara Mobile: Powers include eye lasers, mouth energy balls, size changing, and a sword
Norishiron Extra: Powers include flight and twin head horns that can extend with energy



Is this movie in continuity with the main timeline? If Ohranger was not retconned into being in 1995 both the Ohrangers and Bara Mobile could have been thrown into the past if Gunmajin had time based powers for wish granting. Plus the Baranoia did have an artificial hell that messed with time, it could have been reverse engineered and if not one could throw in Timerangers since that series occurred at the same time the Baranoia fell, but until I watch it for myself I cannot rule on it. If they DID go back in time it would make sense they would not bring that up to avoid further changes in the space-time continuum.... Except Blue gave out a UAOH card which was not publicly know at the time and handing secrets like that to civilians is kind of, you know, criminal if not treachery. If it was retconned then the Carrangers are colossally ignorant. The Ohrangers were public figures and UAOH had authority over the police when it came to chain of command so the name should have rang a bell. I can't say the same for the reverse since the Carrangers went to great lengths to conceal their identities and likely did not have as much attention on them, it is possible local news won't reach a military unit that is abroad/doing important missions. Considering the amount of destruction in Ohranger at the very least they would have noticed an influx of damaged vehicles and property damage not to mention the FREAKING SIX MONTH TAKE OVER. The only way this would make sense is if the Carrangers operated in a mostly rural suburban area on the outskirts of Tokyo. Guess what: They do not.

In conclusion this is not canon, you may all thank Oh Blue for that.:thumbs:Megaranger to be taken on some time next week maybe.

 

[rangergod]

Gotta be honest, really not looking forward to post Timeranger stuff.

Why i thought you did not watch any sentai?

 

[Captain Shark]

Time we got into the sentai that first started using digital effects also called Megaranger.

"Anything worth noting?"

Remember when sentai run time was reduced back in Dynaman? It goes back to normal this series.

"Did this save sentai?"

Actually Gingaman did.

"How will this be taken on?"

Another seventeen parts with three episodes each. Oi.

"And opinions when?"

After episodes 9, 18, 30, 43, and the end.

"And the crossover movie with the Carrangers?"

At the end.

"What do you have against post-Timeranger stuff?"

From Gaoranger onward the franchise toys are based more on collecting with lots of interchangeable parts and that is going to be hard to keep track of after a while. Plus, if I am going to be honest, most of the costumes after Timeranger save for Dekaranger, Magiranger, Go-Busters, and Kyoryuger look unappealing to me and I am including Zyuohger in that. Hurricanger especially, something about it does not seem to click with me. The 20th century suits I can at least chalk up to old age.

"So why are you continuing?"

The strawpoll indicated that if I was going to end this it would have to be with Gokaiger. This made me realize that I am providing something the vast majority of sentai fans never get: To experience the entire franchise in chronological/production order and all for the first time leading up to this massive anniversary as if I managed to tune in every week on TV. You guys never experienced it and I am doing that with a nerdy perspective of someone familiar with a lot of other tokusatsu. Granted, MarzGurl probably (scratch that, definitely) has done better than me, but I am faster, go into more detail, and mention the monsters of the week in their chance to shine since they will not last as long as the titular entities.
=================================================
Episode 1:

A space ship that totally doesn't look like the SS Enterprise heads to Earth while children play an advanced arcade game with the Megarangers. Some punk shows up named Shinjuku Black who one boy says is Great Arcade Bully. He wants a challenge and calls the boys chicken, one named Takeshi deciding to challenge him. Some guy with slick hair challenges him instead and flips a coin in an arcade machine. The game seems to be a martial arts simulator, red and black rangers fighting. After an intense fight slick hair wins and the bully runs off. Three guys in suits ask him to come along and he agrees in exchange for what I assume is fast food or whatever kaiba is. Cut to a military base where the Mega Shuttle is about to launch. An operator detects Nezire Power before the complex shakes. A pen and soda can distort with CGI. One guy named Professor Eikichi Kubota says the invasion came sooner than they calculated and wants Megaranger candidates. His assistant gives him a computer card while slick eats a bunch of food in a nearby room. The professor says they chose him to be a Megaranger, but he replies that it is not his game. Also some info dump on candidates based on arcade skills. After that the professor talks to four other teens who want nothing to do with the project- Oh the company is named Nasada. An earthquake occurs and the teens run inside the base. Two of them smell an underground structure so they four of them explore it. One episode in and we have editing issues, smooth. The soon find slick munching on food and ask what the hell is going on. Apparently they are his friends that are all doing a social studies project when the professor comesin to boot them out when an earthquake does serious damage. Suddenly a ram-like giant vehicle called the Nezi Crusher appears in the base. In the Nezi Crusher are villains lead by Dr. Hinela who says he will show the power of Nezirezia science. Some evil chick named Shiborena proclaims it will be their best as does their mascot, Bibidevi. The base was attacked because they think a weapon is being developed to fight them. Bombs are set by soldiers called the kunekunes lead by Yugande. Human soldiers fire lasers which only get warped around and Yugande fires eye lasers. The professor tries leading the kids out when his assistant tells him about the bombs. The teens use their digital knowledge to open a digital lock via portable tech parts.

They head to Mega Shuttle while the professor confronts his assistant, Dr. Tachibana. He demands the digitizers be brought out in an attempt to stop the Nezirejia. The professor then states that the Megaranger game was really a simulator. Dr. Tachibana gives them their digitizers when the kunekunes and Yugane show up to attack. The five nod heads and the professor tells them to dial 335. Once they do their costumes encompass their bodies and they seemingly float around until a control system is active on a computer. Once outside they confront the squad and thanks to their helmets a la Bioman they punch out the grunts with weird CGI use. Red uses martial arts, Black is strong, Pink can fire guns, and Yellow can do dimensional entrapment with Blue. The two docs and their operators make it to Mega Shuttle and launch. Yugande holds his own against the Megarangers and wonders about Mega Shuttle while forming a hologram that also fires lasers followed by his eyes forming gravity bolts. Red uses his weapon, the drill saber, and Yugande teleports off to Nezi Crusher where the Nasada base will explode. The Nezirejia flee as the military base blows to kingdom come. The professor tells the Megarangers to get into Mega Shuttle and they do so just in time thanks to Toei editing. Mega Shuttle reaches orbit to end the episode. What a sad ending theme. Next episode shows Nezi Crusher in the city and the premier of Galaxy Mega.

Episode 2:

After a recap of last episode the Megarangers ask the professor, which is what I will call him from now on, tells them to look. The not-Enterprise from last episode is named the Mega Ship as Mega Shuttle approaches it, the professor saying it will be their main base. It opens up to let Mega Shuttle in. The teens are amazed by the scenery as the two doctors mention that the digital suits are now coded with the students, meaning nobody else can use them. During this the Megarangers wonder about faith in fighting bad guys, the divide showing before the professor shows up as a holographic cube to summon them. In the control room Nezire Power is picking up on Earth. He mentions that they call themselves Nezirejia, invaders from another dimension. After that he goes on about how each digital suit is unique and based on different tech such as satellites, digital TVs, digital camera, cell phones, and the PC. Red and Blue nearly fight with Black breaking them up when the Nezirejia appear in Tokyo via distorting wormhole. I just realized GaoGaiGar uses this exact same effect AND it came out the same year, coincidence? Red mentions the boys last episode being in the area before asking how the hell to get to Earth. Cut to Nezi Crusher entering the Death Neziros. Dr. Hinelar tells by his master, Javious, that the invasion is going swimmingly as Earth's destruction is demanded. Also Javious only appears as a voice for some reason. The Nezire Power twists a soda can at the arcade last episode which scares the kids. The Megarangers SOMEHOW get to Earth where things start exploding randomly before Nezi Crusher shows up and yes I typed that right. Dr. Hinelar makes a speech about how everyone below is boned.

Kunekunes are lead by Ray Nezire to slay resistance and put them in the Nezire Dimension.... So they want dead bodies because why? Calling it now, hidden necrophilia subtext! The boys are scared and Red tells them not to worry while Ray Nezire takes a bunch of cop revolver bullets 50s monster movie style. Red decides to punch him, but is sent flying with a smack followed by a beat up. Yellow calls him an idiot before the others help him out. The Megarangers transform which impresses the villains on the Nezi Crusher. Dr. Hinelar demands the Megarangers be taken down and boy do his pimp slaps make short work of them followed by Pink being thrown. They wonder how to win when their forehead icons light up. Yellow does dimensional entrapment so the five of them can beat up Ray Nezire but wow does that fail. After that the Megarangers get out their individual weapons to execute an assault which heavily damages him to the point of revealing the metal under the skin. Ray Nezire retreats into the sky and the professor has the cyber sliders sent to them which are basically hover surf boards. They go from a city to cyber space to the atmosphere which leads to the Nezi Crusher. Dr. Hinelar bids them farewell as the Nezi Crusher fires tail lasers. The Megarangers are called back to Mega Ship which is assaulted, but the energy shields hold up. Mega Particle Cannon turrets fire back, stunning the fortress and having the Megarangers in Mega Shuttle so they can launch. Mega Shuttle is said (but not shown) to emit an electromagnetic wave as Mega Base transforms into a robot. Mega Shuttle serves as the head to form Galaxy Mega. Dr. Hinelar curses them and demands they crash while the Mega Saber is unleashed on the Nezi Crusher. One fly by and it blows to pieces complete with a ring shockwave. The Megarangers comment about how glad they are they won and ask the professor if the digitizers are souveniers when he tells them to knock it off. Also talks of skipping class. A strange wave is detected, meaning the Nezirejia survived and that the battle has only begun for Earth. Next episode shows Red fending off kunekunes and high fives with Blue.

Ray Nezire: Powers include a whip tail, eye gravity bolts, and flight
Nezi Crusher: Powers include a drill form, teleportation, flight, and tail lasers

Episode 3:

On the Death Neziros Dr. Hinelar apologizes to Javious who accepts, but demands better. Wow, a tolerant main villain. Anyway, the Nezire Magic Circle is summoned so Shiborena can place genetic material of Rhino Nezire in it. Incantations are said by her which turns the wheel and Nezire Energy is used to form Rhino Nezire. Dr. Hinelar mentions their since is demonic and laughs maniacally. Cut to Moroboshi Academy High School aka where the Megarangers have to go. They complain about teachers with Red being upset it is getting in the way of world saving. The others introduce him to their digital research club which has an old computer for data collection. Red seems to like it when the digitizers has the professor telling them he is looking into the motives of the Nezirejia. Also his computer can somehow see them as he mentions they want to bring chaos and destruction because they are likely chaos space marines, my money is on Iron Warriors because daemon tech. Insert speech about great power and responsibility here. After that the Megarangers discuss food before Blue says he is out and gives Black his digitizer. Red goes after him, but gets shaken off because computer programming careers. A fight nearly breaks out with Blue walking away. Dr. Hinelar experiments on Bibidevi which concern Yugane and Shinorena, the former telling Rhino Nezire to cause havoc on the Megarangers. Pink talks to Red about Blue who makes plans for what seem to be prototypes of those Galactic Rangers from the Ratchet and Clank games. Basically the guy hates being sidetracked so his dream comes true. An earthquake caused by Rhino Nezire occurs.

Kunekunes help out Rhino Nezire in his rampage. The Megarangers get attacked and Red dashes off to find Blue while the others take out the main squad. He soon finds him in a building saving some program data when kunekunes pop in. Red fends them off for him while the others do well. Rhino Nezire shows up to throw Red around and stomp on him. Blue shoves him only to get his program data busted. The two run outside and Red apologizes with Blue saying he can make a new one because humans/friends are irreplaceable. Black gives Blue his digitizer so he and Red can transform. Also they finally do a pose. Rhino Nezire goes through them quite easily and fends off the Mega Snipers of the women. Blue encourages Red to use his drill saber to counter the head drill, eventually succeeding thanks to teamwork. Red and Blue to a long hand shake when Dr. Hinelar teleports in to introduce himself. He sends Bibidevi on Rhino Nezire to bite an enlargement virus which alters his DNA to make him grow and even restore his head drill. The professor tells them, somehow, to use Galaxy Mega and the cyber board back to Mega Ship to do the combination with Mega Shuttle. Galaxy Mega, or GM as I will call it from now on, uses the Mega Shield to aid it in atmospheric re-entry. It disappears once it gets to Tokyo and the Mega Saber is summoned from thin air to cut up Rhino Nezire. After some laser redirecting the fight ends with the Mega Flying Cutter which is the Mega Saber charged with energy. At the high school the Megarangers look at their public test scores, Pink barely in the top fifty while Red did not even make the top one hundred. Red tries studying, but Blue makes fun of him. The episode ends with Pink unintentionally punching both of them out. Next episode shows the Megarangers in cyberspace and Black fighting.

Rhino Nezire: Powers include a head drill that emits electric shocks and horn lasers

 

[Captain Shark]

This was literally supposed to be up seven hours ago but I literally forgot my password! Seriously, this place has an issue with password recovery, I even had to use the help page! As for those wondering about what happened at Anime Suki, I'll save that for next time. Until then here is part 2!

Episode 4:

At Moriboshi High we see some woman in the biology room when a hand comes out of the computer.After that Red tells the others in the club about their daily schedule now that they are Megarangers. They get bored easily and Pink suggests bailing via head nods. That is the most quiet sliding door ever. Later, Red notices the woman from earlier, named Ms. Nishiyama, looking at dead goldfish. She denies she knows what happened, but her right hand is dripping wet. Cut to Red and Black talking about it, how the latter knows is unknown. Red thinks it is nothing before we see her throwing away a bloody wire and talking to Shiborena via the monitor who comes out of the monitor to I assume shock her. Red comes in and she attempts to kill him with a scalpel. The others show up to help him. Black gets slammed into a wall and passes out after a head bonk. A stool is hurled at the monitor which knocks the teacher out. The professor tells the Megarangers of a crime surge occurring lately, likely from the Nezirejia. Shiborena tells Dr. Hinelar about how awesome Chameleon Nezire is spreading Nezire education across the crude internet. He demands that nothing get in their way. During this, Blue tries tracing the IP address and does so. Red suggests they move when Yellow points out they should wait for Black to wake up first. After random banter Black wakes up and reads a laptop message about getting well soon.

The room the IP address as in is inspected when Black contacts the others via digitizer. Red makes an offhand comment about not needing them when Black says it could be a trap. Sure enough it is as they are entrapped in a pocket dimension from Chameleon Nezire. Black transforms on a rooftop and mentally hacks a satellite to fire the others. He crashes in to confront Shiborena and Chameleon Nezire only to get promptly beaten the tar out of. Shiborena teleports off as the fight heads to ground level.Never knew chameleons had sharp teeth. Invisibility makes him hard to fight as the others burn in the pocket dimension, but satellite searching allows him to find Chameleon Nezire and mega sniper him. This busts the pocket dimension and Black collapses, allowing himself to be kicked and swiped. Just as Chameleon Nezire is about to finish him, the others show up to assault the nezire monster. Red admits they were wrong followed by the others and he forgives them so they place their hands together. Red tells them to unite their hearts when they attach their individual weapons to the mega snipers for more powerful lasers. Chameleon Nezire explodes, but Bibidevi does his bite inject to make his corpse grow giant sized. The Megarangers head to Mega Base so Mega Shuttle can fuse and become GM. After a single punch the Super Electronic Whip is brought out to stab Chameleon Nezire up and turns into the Galaxy Side Cutter which destroys him. After that Black cries on a rooftop for not helping sooner when Red says he is at fault. The others comfort him and he feels better to end the episode, starting with following the daily schedule push ups. Next episode shows GM on auto pilot and failing.

Chameleon Nezire: Powers include a hacking extendable tongue, a pocket dimension, high jumping, and camouflage

Episode 5:

On Mega Base the professor has a screen conference about the eligibility of the Megarangers and the council sends an expert to help with GM. A ship lands on Mega Base with said specialist named Dr. Toyokawa who will install an auto-combat system to GM against the professor's will since it is supposed to grow with operators despite being untrained. The doc shows the new control disc and Dr. Tachibana throws a fit. Cut to an off limits site where the Megarangers arrive in a car to meet the scientists in a deserted area. The professor has GM walk in via remote. A missile pod is launched to test reflexes while Dr. Toyokawa tells the Megarangers they are fired. The professor confronts this, but Red and Pink seem happy. Yellow tells them to knock it off as the professor has a flashback that involves him wondering if they became Megarangers just by whims. On Death Neziros Chameleon Nezire is mourned for with Yugande and Shiborena commenting that they need to get around the Mega Saber. Dr. Hinelar notices a piece of an alloy likely from the sword in the corpse so he starts laughing. At Moriboshi High Black demands that Red and Blue take up kendo club. Red says no when the kendo club shows up to assault him. He defends himself with so beat ups and two hits to the balls. The women show up to say there is trouble so they transform out of sight and cyber slide off.

The Megarangers encounter a hurt construction worker who says a volcano will erupt. Kunekunes lead by Shrimp Nezire attack his coworkers so the Megarangers jump in to fight. Shiborena teleports in with Bibidevi demanding Shrimp Nezire retreat. Bibidevi uses the enlargement virus by biting and Mega Base flies in with the remote control program installed. Mega Shuttle combines with it so GM is ready for combat. Before long Shrimp Nezire's exoskeleton starts beating the tar out of GM with Shiborena saying he is composed of the same material as the Mega Saber. Dr. Toyokawa demands they evacuate after deciding the monster cannot be defeated with the professor tells him it needs the Megarangers to grow alongside. He parachutes out, but the professor and Dr. Tachibana remain behind, the former making his way through a crow of evacuating personnel. GM is soon hurled toward the volcano where it grabs the side of a cliff. The professor climbs some stairs toward the cockpit to cancel the program, but is knocked down quickly. The Megarangers enter the cockpit at the last second to resume their duties, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were helping injured construction workers. GM jumps out of the volcano and resumes the fight kicking, headbutting, and throwing. The Mega Saber goes into whip mode to stun Shrimp Nezire long enough to throw him into the volcano where he explodes. Shiborena throws a fit and teleports off. GM somehow heals from the damage as Dr. Toyokawa admits he was wrong and will tell the board of directors to have the Megarangers keep piloting GM. The professor thanks the teens and the episode ends with GM looking over them. Next episode shows a tilting skyscraper with Pink inside of it and the premier of Digi Tank.

Shrimp Nezire: Powers include teleportation, an energy cutting circle, a reinforced exoskeleton, electric shocks, and charging chis claws with energy

Episode 6:

At Moriboshi High class gets out and Yellow wakes up Pink who is sleeping in the health department. Pink says she has had no time off since she became a Megaranger when she and Yellow accidentally run into two guys named Shintaro and Jiro who complain about her being late. They think their Megaranger identities have been discovered when the men walk into the club room and bicker about nonsense. The women talk things out on a bus stop bench, Pink saying she'll think of something with Yellow thinking something is off. Cut to Death Neziros where Dr. Hinelar is disgusted by children playing on skates when they should be afraid. Shiborena suggests destroying a symbol like a high tech building. Yugande mentions that would cause an earthquake and explosion because of development of New Energy and maybe a Gamera 2 reference. After that Pink meets up with Shintaro and Jiro in overalls and a hoodie, the two revealing that Shintaro just wanted to date her. Jiro is along because he can talk to girls. Once Jiro is far enough away she takes Shintaro with her, saying they can have a proper date now. Yellow drags the men along somewhere during this. After that Pink and Shintaro head toward the new energy building for sight seeing. To be fair Chicago has similar site seeing. Elephant Nezire teleports in and uses his massive strength to tilt the entire building. Shintaro is knocked out by a piece of the cieling before Yugande shows up as a hologram saying that what is happening is but a small feat to the Nezirejia. The others transform away from public view while Shintaro wakes up, preventing Pink from transforming.

Yellow does a digital search of the building and spots Pink and Shintaro inside while Elephant Nezire practices tackling with the building. Pink and Shintaro spot the new energy generator with alarms going off and finding out they are trapped in. The professor tells the others about the generator going down and mentions a new weapon ideal for the job called Digi Tank. Said Digi Tank is sent out (and is more of a six wheeled assault vehicle) that hovers down so the Megarangers can get in. Elephant Nezire and a squad of kunekunes prevents Black and Blue from going in, forcing Red and Yellow to do rescuing on their own. Pink tries to get Shintaro distracted, but that fails as do Black and Blue's attempt to stop more tilting. Digi Tank is sent up a flight of stairs as the generator reaches critical mass, forcing Pink to transform. Also Digi Tank has a digital searcher. Digi Tank busts down a wall and Yellow has both of them board. The Digi Hand, a big claw, is brought out to carefully pull out the tube of new energy so the claw can release a cooling agent over it. Bibidevi shows up to make Elephant Nezire grow to finish the job. Digi Tank barely makes it out just as the building is knocked over. Pink scolds Elephant Nezire before transforming and having GM being formed to fight him. GM punches a lot before ending the fight via the Mega Saber's Mega Flying Cutter or MS and Cutter as I will call them from now on. Shintaro reveals to Pink that he took pics of her dozing off and presented her with flowers when she says she likes someone else. Jiro comforts the heartbroken stalker as she walks off with it being implied she likes Yellow. Next episode shows Yellow exhibiting half the emotions of the human face.

Elephant Nezire: Powers include teleportation, super strength, eye lasers, and a right arm tusk

 

[Captain Shark]

So what happened at AS? Simple:

>doesn't like a series that is airing
>people whine
>gives legit reasons
>more whining
>reports to mods
>they do nothing
>one guy admits he was trolling me
>admin accuses me instead
>mounts a massive defense utterly destroying his points
>he admits he didn't bother looking at all the evidence
>later I find low ratings for the crap funny (in a topic about what made you laugh today)
>five day ban because a mod doesn't share my humor
>gets lied to directly to my face
>calls them out on harassment and demanded my account be disabled

Want the jist? This pastebin contains my massive defense. That actually breaks the 10,000 character level.:laugh:With that out of the way here is part 3.

Episode 7:

Yellow types stuff on a laptop attached to a telescope. Black shows up and the two talk about stuff like running battle programs and dreams when some chick named Mishima shows up. She says Black promised a date and throws a fit at Yellow. Some bickering back and forth occurs until lightning strikes the rooftop and a nearby building explodes. On Mega Base dangerous lightning is detected across the globe with the professor thinking the weather is from space. It could be something undetectable to radars and Yellow gets angsty. Cut to Death Neziros where Dr. Hinelar and Shiborena yammer and Yugande throws a fit over nothing and smacks Bibidevi. Dr. Hinelar says his plan is to disable the humans' ability to report to one another aka go after communications. The next day the Megagrangers go internet surfing (figuratively) to look up leads/analyze photos. Eventually a humanoid shape is shown in the photo and the source is 14 kilometers over the surface. More complaining from Yellow over Red making banter and Black rightfully runs off. The others head off in Mega Shuttle and Red makes fun of Black's situation right before the lightning shows up. Black and Yellow have a bitter couple moment with the former having a flashback of Mishima sewing a button on his jacket and she has been stalking him ever since. Tumblr would find a way to make him the guilty party. Thanks to her he has no time saving the word so Yellow decides to be clingy when Mishima shows up. They eventually get away before we see Yugande berating Shiborena for wine drinking. She replies that Bee Nezire is doing everything according to plan. Black and Yellow hide in some lab when a scientist catches them and tells them to leave. After that Yellow hears Shiborena in the window. She uses Black to peak in on Bee Nezire talking to scientists- And dumb panty shot.

Shiborena demands her plans be done already, specifically so a dish can coordinate Bee Nezire where to strike next. Within ten minutes the scientists will be ready when Mishima shows up looking for Black. The scientists intend to kill her, sending kunekunes after her. Once she faints Black and Yellow fight them off and transform. Yellow calls her cyber slider to join the others and tells Black to take Mishima to a hospital. The others spot the dish coordinating things and Yellow tells them to cyber slide down to Earth. Instead Bee Nezire spams lightning. Black shows up and tells Pink to scan the area with her dish, nullifying Bee Nezire's invisibility. This allows the Megarangers to fire on him, sending him to Earth where they continue their assault on the nezire monster. After they spam individual weapons, Bee Nezire is grown thanks to Bibidevi painfully biting him. Things go boom before they cyber slide back to Mega Shuttle and combine with Mega Base to become GM. Once atmospheric re-entry is achieved, melee combat ensues with GM having the upper hand. The fight ends when GM uses a new weapon called the Booster Rifle to shoot lasers at Bee Nezire to make him explode. After that Mishima appears to Black, but he comes clean and says he has no time for dating. She takes it well as some guy named Taki comes to pick her up. The Megarangers are flabbergasted and Yellow says she'll buy him ice cream while he denies heartbreaking. Next episode shows Red and Yugande dueling.

Bee Zenire: Powers include forming holograms, flight, invisibility, body lightning, bee drones from the right arm, and eye lasers

Episode 8:

We are back to regular length with this episode!

On Death Neziros Jabius is PO'd that Earth is not conquered as we see stock footage of the first two episodes. He declares no more excuses and Shiborena feels bad for Dr. Hinelar. Yigande proclaims he found their weak point while Dr. Hinelar has a brief flashback with him and the professor, indicating he was from Earth. Yugande wants permission to fight the Megarangers because he says their teamwork is pathetic and ges permission. Cut to Moriboshi High where the Megarangers head to the computer club where they mention Red is arcade training. The professor tells them he is glad they are studying and asks where Red is so the men say he is in the bathroom. Red sings the opening theme while playing the Megaranger arcade game. The professor calls him up and says not to waste his life and crap. The professor is told by a female staff member he is still a kid when the alarm goes off, detecting a nezire reaction. The Megaranders meet up and tell Red things are going down so he runs off. The sky becomes dark so they transform with Pink doing mega capture scans. This reveals a wormhole where Yugande says they can fight one on one without interference. Red goes in because alpha male impulses to find himself in an outdoor area that looks like a modern art exhibit. Yugande shows up after forming from liquid metal, stating this is a subspace dimension. Yugande throws off his cape and the two duel, Red getting the stuffing kicked out of him- WHY IS THERE A SHALLOW POOL THERE!? Yugande is soon decapitated, but functions just fine and flies around with eye lasers. The others can hear the commotion and Yellow scans to find them. Blue concludes they are ina virtual reality and they shoot their way in.... Somehow the dimension cracks. Yugande'
s sword also has laser deflecting properties as he states to Red he is less than the sum of his parts. Black saves him just in time, but gets blasted by a head hologram's eye bolts in return. Not sure why the fall was in slow-mo- Oh wow his helmet is gone. They somehow managed to escape from the virtual reality.

At a hospital Black is in critical condition and Red is scolded by Pink for obvious reasons. Red says he'll get revenge and the others point out his stupidity when Black tells them not to worry about him and just asks Red not to charge into everything. After that Red runs to to computer club room to flashback what happened to Black. He looks at a picture of his friends on a wall and calls hinself a dope. Insert sappy sad music here. The professor calls him up, saying he used to know someone like Red. A genius that first discovered the Nezirejia that went ahead and did things alone. In a flashback we see Dr. Hinelar, here as Samejima, trying to get into a new dimension with the professor telling him not to go too far. After an experiment with some head gear and slow motion, he was transported into the nezire dimension. He says Red will be forgiven in time, but for now he must have courage. An earthquake occurs and outside Yugande calls for Red via distortion effect in the sky. Red goes against what people have told him and tries finding Yugande himself who appears kaiju sized. Naturally he fails at fighting a giant monster- Now he spews mouth flames? The others show up on cyber sliders to help out. Red admits he feels like he is responsible when Black shows up limping. The head to Mega Base and Mega Shuttle to form GM. Sword play ensues until Yugande clones himself to gain the upper hand. A scanner called the Galaxy Search is used to search for the real one followed by the Super Electronic Whip hitting him. After that the GS uses the Cutter to blow Yugande up. The professor comments that they did well as he looks at a picture of himself and Samejima. At the computer lab some procedures are reviewed and Red brings over canned drinks he accidentally drops. Next episode shows people acting violent and CD cases.

Yugande: Powers include teleportation, a virtual reality subspace, eye bolts, mouth flames, turning into liquid metal, size changing, holograms, and a sword that emits energy cutters

Episode 9:

On Death Neziros some electrical shenanigans reform Yugande with a new right arm and right shoulder. His body is unstable though since it has new energy so Dr. Hinelar tells him to wait against his will. Shiborena volunteers in his place and calls for Bat Nezire. Cut to Tokyo where Yellow does photography and Red complains about it. She spots some woman stealing from a little boy, specifically for a CD, and goes after it. She soon snatches it back when Red notices her. The thief is named Saeko who scolds Red for taste before running off. He claims they knew each other in another class. After that the professor says that a bunch of minors are stealing CDs from each other. After that is bickering anf Yellow having pics of Saeko developed. Black and Blue say they'd pass on her and Red briefly defends her before running off. On the roof Yellow confronts Red as he defends Saeko since they knew each other for years, stealing isn't like her. After that Shiborena tells Dr. Hinelar that her berserk CDs are going well to spread anarchy. After that mind control will be attempted and she transforms into a regular human. That night she meets up with Bat Nezire on a rooftop to release plush bats onto the town. Said plush bats turn into stickers on CD cases. The next day we see Red and Yellow spotting Saeko shoplifting like crazy, the latter confronting her directly. She gives up, hands them back, and runs off. Red catches her and she mentions bat marks to which Shiborena overhears. Yellow had to buy every CD stolen and complains to the others when they notice the bat stickers. Black gives one a listen and starts strangling Blue until his headphones come off and without memory.

The professor says the CDs with marks emit a sonic wave that causes people to go berserk. Hitting the wave with an inverse one should cancel out the effects. After that Saeko tells Red a friend of her's named Yuuji went nuts because of the CD so she's trying to stop it from spreading. Red decides to help her and she is glad he is his old self. The others soon find him and Yellow wants to know where Saeko is. Speaking of whom, Bat Nezire attacks her and attempts mind control for a suicide attempt until Yellow stops her. She places earmuffs on her with an inverse wave and the noise stops when Red pounces on him. The Megarangers go after Bat Nezire and Yellow apologizes to Saeko. After a minute of talking she eventually transforms to join the others who have the tar beaten out of them. Yellow duels with Bat Nezire one on one and wins via kicking a lot. Bibidevi shows up to make Bat Nezire grow and GM is formed via Mega Base and Mega Shuttle combining- Oh screw it I am calling them Base and Shuttle from now on to save on time. GM descends to Earth, sonic waves immobilize GM, Saeko tries thinking of a method to help them, spots a van with a loudspeaker, and asks for the driver's help while choke holding him. GM eventually gets on its knees while the Megarangers are in pain until his sonic waves stop thanks to the van. He gets ticked and spams his sonic waves, but that does little. He reaches for Saeko only to get a Booster Rifle shot to the torso.... WHICH SOMEHOW DAMAGES HIS EARS. Thanks Toei editing! GS is used for some slicing and impaling until the Cutter terminates him. Saeko tells the Megarangers the next day that Yuuji was cleared of charges and bickering about whether or not Red or Yellow is a better ranger occurs, the former almost revealing himself. Red calls his friends traitors and nearly transforms because stubbornness. Next episode shows some girl with a flute Blue likes that happens to be an android.

Bat Nezire: Powers include summoning bats that turn into mind control stickers, sonic emitters from the ears that induce mind control, flight, and eye lasers
=================================================
So.... They're copying the high school angle from Turboranger.... And the self-centered-ness of Carranger.... While trying to act like a classic sentai series.... Red is a total dingus, Yellow is a snob, Pink is a whiner, Black is awkward, and Blue uptight. I know they were trying for a "realistic teenager" feel, but did they really need to show the negative aspects of that upfront? I don't know, it feels like it pandered to Power Rangers a bit much. The themes are technology overall with video games being the overall motif and appliances for each suit.... And that is more interesting than what we get.... And the rangers here are horribly irresponsible. This would have worked better in a magic based sentai and it has (Turboranger and Carranger) because having such power would be overwhelming to people that suddenly gained it and they would have to learn to control it over time. Since this sentai is technology based (first one without magic since Jetman I forgot to mention) there is someone's actual lifework at stake and human ingenuity went into its creation. The meshing is.... Well, it could have been done better. Having the main mech being mostly a base depending on the head makes you wonder why not just make it all one piece to begin with like Battle Fever Robo or DaiDenJin. Then there are the villains consisting of someone who could be a reimagining of Dr. Man from Bioman, a woman to lead the plans on the ground, and an angry general.... That dies but comes back to life between episodes for seemingly no reason other than to change the entire right arm. Jabius I will save for much later, I imagine just making him an eyeball to later reveal his true form is used for suspense effect. The invasion from another dimension bit is not that different from the Vader Clan and Vyram, but the difference is that they have been an established threat by this point IE planetary/dimensional conquest. That means they conquered an entire universe previously, it raises the stakes more than a regular alien invasion or secret society, plus it isn't like the heroes can just get over to their base if it is in another dimension. Adding to that point, why are they attacking Japan? We know by now Dr. Hinelar was human, but why start at your home country first? In the mid-90s plenty of Middle Eastern and eastern European countries were embroiled in war that would have made them vulnerable to conquest first, especially the resources some of those countries had. It is just like with Black Magma, why Japan? There is literally zero reason! Yugande is the only one doing it for personal reasons, not the others, and he definitely isn't the guy making the plans. I have a bad feeling we will get zero motivation reasons, but who knows, Carranger proved my expectations wrong (technically a lot of sentai did, but you get my point).



It is going to be a long month.

Today is the fiftieth Super Bowl! Before the kick off here is part 4!

Episode 10:

Some woman in whtie carrying a bat-like flute plays at night. A truck hits her by accident despite not slowing down. The driver checks on her and she just walks away unharmed into the night. The next day we see Blue walking away from his friends who pester him over it, Pink suggesting they go to a movie. Once he walks off they talk about whatever and Black mentions his mom died a year previous with today being the anniversary. After that we see Blue remembering his mother playing the flute as he tries doing the same. White woman shows up to take his flute while the lens on the camera is blurry for no good reason. She plays well for a short time and it is suddenly sunset because Toei editing. That night she returns to the streets of Tokyo for more flute playing. This causes people to chaotically fight each other and smash cars into each other. The next day Blue daydreams with the others noticing. The professor calls up about white woman's incidents and even mentions her flute playing which is occuring across the globe. Blue reecognizes her on the monitor and runs. Cut to Shiborena who says that Neo Bat Nezire has spawned android girls to spread havoc and Dr. Hinelar likes how stealthfully things are going. Neo Bat Nezire tells Dr. Hinelar one his his proxies is not working. Said proxy android meets up with Blue with the others looking at a distance, Pink acting distasteful for no reason. Red runs over to blow their cover and Black scolds Blue for hiding the secret when Neo Bat Nezire shows up to erase her. Blue transforms to fight him one on one and form a theater pocket dimension filled with people shooting at the nezire monster. He then teleports off after Blue asks if he had fun.

Android woman is in the hospital and the professor visits the Megarangers to tell them she is not human. Her guidance system was likely damage from the truck bashing earlier and the professor thinks she should be disassembled for safety measures. Blue gets angry and runs off to hit two officers and wake up the flute playing proxy. They make it to a park before the others tell him via digitizer to cut it out. He says sorry before cutting them off as he hides in the music room at his school- WOW did nobody check for over exposure here. Neo Bat Nezire shows up to swipe both of them, flute proxy getting damaged in the right arm before the nezire monster sends himself and Blue out a window where he transforms. The scenery goes from school to field before the others show up to help. He emits sonic waves from his torso and Pink tries analyzing it to no avail as these ones are supplied with white noise. During this the android starts recovering her memories which make her horrified since she now cares for Blue. Neo Bat Nezire attempts to finish the Megarangers on a rocky beach when white woman does flute playing to annoy him. Pink analyzes the flute's sound waves and notes they are fighting each other with the android losing. Neo Bat Nezire uses his full power, the camera gets blurry, and Blue rushes toward her to go back into civilian clothing. She gives him her flute and explodes after running from him. Blue screams, Neo Bat Nezire calls him an idiot, he transforms back without his digitizer, and goes on an assault that wades through energy blasts. Neo Bat Nezire gets damaged and Bibidevi bites him to make him grow followed by GM being summoned and flying through Earth's atmosphere. Once the Megarangers somehow get in the fight ends with the GS using the cutter to destroy Neo Bat Nezire. The episode ends with Blue being sad and Pink about to tear up. Next episode shows Yellow hanging out with a little girl named Ruri.

Neo Bat Nezire: Powers include proxy androids with hypnotic flutes, teleportation, torso sonic waves, eye energy blasts, left hand claws, and flight

Episode 11:

Yellow takes pictures of someone with a first person point of view until we see the others talking about her in class. They spot her in cooking class and I am assuming backing for someone. Pink thinks she is in love and Black almost blabs out loud. He then points out that she isn't wearing the school uniform and the others call him a square in response. In their club room they get some disguises to follow her around town. During this we see a nun handing out roses during the pursuing. Some little girl named Ruri calls for Yellow, the latter replying happy birthday. After she walks off with the cake Yellow baked her, the others have their cover blown. During this the nun psychically uses her rose to mind control Ruri. Yellow tells the others Ruri helped her with photography and she was the someone at the beginning. The notice the cake box Yellow had followed by kids with roses walking in a straight line. This leads to a church where nuns tell the Megarangers only kids are allowed today. Yellow peeps in through a window, benches have candles lit and the kids must drink cups of rose water. The nun playing the organ turns out to be a kunekune as the kids turn into flowers. Yellow yells for Ruri which causes kunekunes outside to notices so the others transform to fight them off. At Death Neziros we see Bibidevi calling it the Demon Therapy experiment with Yugande mentioning the kids will turn into Petite Rose Nezires which will prevent humanity from having a future. Shiborena turns out to be the nun that passed out roses and Yugande is the nezire monster's daughter in terms of genetics. Rorse Nezire looks forward to the experiments when Shiborena notes Ruri is not mutating. She scans her mind and had Yellow on her mind. Ruri runs out and Shiborena ditches her disguise.

Yellow bangs on the door which finally opens, revealing the church to be empty until the organ plays where Rosse Nezire turned out to be invisible. Meanwhile, Ruri falls down in a field, sees Yellow with her cake, tells her what happened in a frightened tone, and is told to drink the rose water before revealing to really be Shiborena. The real Yellow shows up soon after demanding Ruri be returned because who cares about the other kids. Because secret identity crap Shiborena gets the drop on her and even summons vines to constrict her. Ruri drinks the rose water while fainted, but fights off with will power. Shiborena uses Yellow's cake to burn it in an attempt to force her into despair which works. Shiborena laughs and Yellow transforms to fight back. Shiborena finds out her secret identity and fights of mega sniper shots with her sword. The others face off against Rose Nezire to little avail thanks to her regeneration. Yellow gets taunted and teleported to a bus of people that tap on glass to annoy her. She gets off to find out she is kaiju sized. The cops shoot at her which somehow does damage before being shrunken back to human size. Shiborena taunts her and mind controls a man to put her in a choke hold while she gets slashed and thrown into a pocket dimension. The others are unable to slow down Rose Nezire who has Bibidevi make her grow kaiju sized followed by GM being sent in. Even the GS using the Cutter is not enough to stop her regeneration and uses a thorny whip. Shiborena turns her sword into an energy whip and Yellow remembers her saying Rose Nezire- NO, YOU SAID YUGANDE WAS, WOULD IT KILL YOU TO BE CONSISTENT!? Yellow somehow encases her hand in energy for an attack called the Blade Arm aka Metalder's Laser Arm chop attack. Shiborena, and by extension Rose Nezire, is hurt which allows GM to terminate the latter with a GS impale. The pocket dimension disappears and Yellow's human self SOMEHOW tells her thank you. The others have Ruri secured and Pink states that it was Blue making a hologram. The episode ends with Yellow making a new cake for Ruri and the others setting up a picnic party which goes well. Next episode shows Black being mopey and tied to a pole.

Rose Nezire: Powers include a statue form, mutating petals, invisibility, regeneration, eye lasers, and a thorny whip

Episode 12:

Red runs to Moriboshi High where he is late for class, but the teacher has not showed up yet so everyone is goofing off. Black goes to check on him and sees a messy apartment with him extremely tired. Black says he needs to set a better example and the two fight. Later we see the Megarangers enjoying themselves in the club room when Black tells them to lay off Mr. Oiwa. Cut to Death Neziros where Yugande says human hearts can only be twisted through destruction (never heard of money I take it?). Dr. Hinelar points out he needs a lot of energy for such a task when Shiborena notes a high energy object is heading for Earth. Mole Nezire is contacted about it as we find out he is having kunekunes build some machine for the object which is basically an earthquake machine meant for Tokyo. Dr. Hinelar tells him to try it before we see regular class time with the Megarangers as Mr. Oiwa is still in his slippers. He notices he got a low score on geology which is due to not filling in a question on a scantron. He tells him there is more to students than test scores as he proceeds to pat a girl on the head and proposes going to the plaza for an outdoor lunch. The students cheer when Black says the class must be runned properly. The outside goes well while the others gossip abotu Black's geology grade. Suddenly the high energy object is spotted and the Megarangers go to check it out. It lands in a park, revealing a jewel, when Mole Nezire shows up to take it. The Megarangers transform after dodging the nezire monster's eye lasers followed by a kick assault and kunekunes showing up. The jewel is thrown between the Megarangers until one trips Black and Mr. Oiwa takes the jewel which we now see is a tiny pyramid. Mole Nezire gets shot with Black attempting to hit only to get a counterattack which allows him to escape. The others scold him on his focusing when Pink brings up his test score. In the science lab Mr. Oiwa tries analyzing the pyramid jewel. After that the Megarangers inform the professor about it who replies that the object has incredible power that can instantly destroy a city. Black walks away with Red following, asking what is up. Black replies that he does not think he can handle his Megaranger duties followed by seeing Dr. Oiwa in the science lab to give him a resignation while he is busy.

Mr. Oiwa looks for Black who is sitting on some stone steps. He offers a doughnut which he declines. Mr. Oiwa then tells Black that he flunked college five times, but has seen the grand scope of life, people are allowed to make mistakes, hands back his resignation, and the moment is touching until Mole Nezire shows up to steal the pyramid and by extension Mr. Oiwa. Black transforms and goes after Mole Nezire. He takes the jewel, blasts Black, gets shot back, and Mr. Oiwa takes it back during the fighting. Deciding not to let the monster have it he eats the jewel. Later we see both of them strapped to a pole with what I assume are seat-belts as the kunekunes construct the machine. Mr. Oiwa feels honored to meet a Megaranger and Black notes there is a signal jammer close to them, preventing contact with the others. Insert speech about confidence here and wow is it sappy. Black gets smacked by Mole Nezire who asks where the jewel is before having Mr. Oiwa placed into some transparent container. Black is unsure what to do and Mr. Oiwa tells him not to give up before fainting. He busts his bonds and contacts the others after busting the signal jammer. Fighting ensues, Black takes out a squad of kunekunes while the Megarangers use the Digitank to ram down the wall. What is with the saxophone music in the background? Mole Nezire gets hit so Black can save Mr. Oiwa anf the Digital Particle Cannon on Digitank can destroy the earthquake machine. Mole Nezire curses the Megarangers and Black runs forward duel with him, soon winning with strength and valor. Bibidevi shows up to use a teeth blast and make Mole Nezire grow. GM gets summoned, they somehow enter the cockpit, the eye lasers do little, and kicks and punches fly. Once the MS is out it turns into the Galaxy Lance which is basically it covered in energy and used for impaling to blow the nezire monster up. The professor congratulates the Megarangers the next day and Black rides Mr. Oiwa to school via his bicycle. Next episodes shows a student teacher, a locket, and Yugande confronting the Megarangers.

Mole Nezire: Powers include burrowing, eye lasers, and x-ray vision

Peyton Manning is the first football player in history to reach two hundred wins! This has nothing to do with part 5!

Episode 13:

Red skateboards to school until he crashes into some girl on roller blades. They apologize and run off, Red being cheery. Once at class the women say they are getting a student teacher today, Black just cares about exams. Mr. Oiwa walks in to introduce her and she happens to be the girl Red bumped into, named is Mayuko Saotome. Red catches on once he enters late before attendance is done. Yellow thinks there is a beauty and beast complex. After class everyone but Blue makes a fuss at Red over it. Why? He is teaching her computer skills in the club room when Red and Black waltz in. She leaves and bickering ensues over nothing. Cut to Death Neziros where Yugande takes down a few kunekunes, Dr. Hinelar noting he likely mastered hhis new power. Shiborena shows up to show him on a monitor for plans for an ultimate life form based on human DNA. Dr. Hinelar likes the idea of humans creating their own doom so Shiborena disguises herself as a human. After that Black introduces himself to Ms. Saotome after class for work checking followed by Red interrupting. Blue asks about her working in a place called the Tanaka Laboratory and she dodges the question via fleeing. Shiborena meets Ms. Saotome in the open, asks her about being from the lab which she states she left, and avoids handing something over. Shiborena tries stealing from Ms. Saotome, but the Megarangers scare her off. Red notices she is clenching her locket. After that the professor is called up if he knows anything so he looks her up. The Tanaka Lab was researching a project to make DNA suitable for space travel and the project was scrapped with the creator even committing suicide. However, an IC chip still has the DNA program on it, Ms. Saotome being the most likely to have taken it since she was close to the project's creator, Professor Tanaka. I guess they are ignoring Kamen Rider Super-1 here- Actually no, the Dogma Kingdom likely destroyed documents. Ms. Saotome gets contacted via computer by the voice of her old lover to meet her with Red seeing this and following her to a university. Professor Tanaka teleports in with the room going dark, stating his memories are alive in the program. Red interrupts this and gets thrown, the imposter (which does not show up on spell check on Firefox) being Shiborena who uses a palm bolt to knock Ms. Saotome out. Kunekunes arrive to deal with Red while she runs with the locket.

She wakes up in her apartment bed with Red looking over and telling her what happened. He asks why she didn't erase the program and she replies asking if he was in love, not just a crush. She could not throw away something he poured so much time to. Red is contacted about Nezirejia readings and has to run off with unfitting guitar music. Shiborena extracts the UC chip and uses it to form a nezire monster named Ultimate Life Form. It shows up to a transformer to consume electricity only for Red to show up. Yugande appears to have a duel with him, even proclaiming he came back from Hell to his rival. Red gets clobbered and Yugande withstands his attacks. Things look bad for him when the others arrive only to get eye lasered. Black combines their individual weapons to form a new energy rifle that knocks Yugande off Red before the villain teleports away laughing. Ultimate Life Form redirects lasers and attacks Ms. Saotome who heads for them. She tells them to hit the antennae for the weak point. Pink distracts the nefire monster while Red and Black blast the antennae off only for him to grow. GM gets called for by Red for monster fighting, soon winning and throwing a Mega Flash Arrow which was basically throwing the GS covered in energy, blowing him up. The next day Ms. Saotome gives her gratitude toward the Megarangers and promises Red to mention adult life followed by a kiss to the cheek which he likes. Good thing this didn't take place in America or the internet would be crying over pedophilia. The episode ends with her skating off and the men getting last lines in, Red even waving goodbye. Next episode shows a boy named Shinya being afraid and the kunekunes combining.

Ultimate Life Form: Powers include turning into electricity, twin electricity absorbing tentacles, energy redirection, eye electric bolts, and size changing

Episode 14:

In the library Black, Blue, and Yellow do studying. During this Black reveals he would like a career in law before everyone wonders why Pink is not here when Blue thinks she is rubbing off on his personality. They look around the arcade when they see some boys playing the Megaranger game. Red asks the professor for permission to transform for fan service and he refuses. The boys turn on one of their own named Shinya who claims to have seen Pink. They call him out on it and he runs off sad, Red telling them the teasing was uncalled for. Shinya runs very far until he finds some girl he knows named Miho. Apparently her family is moving and today was the last day they would see one another. The scene does a decent job at being touching as Shinya almost tears up when a cop on a bike shows up to cheer him up. His dad shows up to try and cheer him up as they head to their apartment. Shinya lies about having lots of friends. After that night falls, Shinya sees a bunch of people moving into Miho's apartment with all the rooms lighting up. The next day he mentions it to his dad, but he brushes it off. Once Shinya leaves for schools he hears Miho's voice next door and peaks in, seeing kunekunes in human clothing. He gets spooked and tells the local cop, but he brushes that aside when his mirror reflection reveals him to be a kunekune. Cut to Death Neziros where Shiborena and Dr. Hinelar mention that replacing neighbors with kunekunes is a great idea- WHAT HAPPENED TO WORLD DOMINATION!? Shinya tries convincing his friends, but they do not believe him and call him a lier. The professor notes on Base how weak the nezirejia enegry readings are and wants the Megarangers to scout around, Red volunteering to do it alone. Pink wants to go with, Yellow being concerned. The two walk around and talk about not wanting to study when they spot Shinya. Pink goes over to him as he is crying and pinky promises to believe him. Red is iffy, but Pink has faith in him.

Red and Pink wonder how the area became so popular while Shinya shows the latter around including his next door. His dad shows up to scold him while Red says the people around here have lived in the building for over a decade. He then realizes his dad should not be home because of his white collar job. People show up to spook them and they run for it, starting a chase scene. They are soon revealed to be kunekunes once Pink realizes Shinya is in danger. They go back for him as his not-dad tries to strangle him and is revealed to be a kunekune that gets a mega sniper blast to the face. He thanks her and Red finds the dad tied and cleave gagged in a closet. More kunekunes show up and Red calls the others. Shiborena reports this to Dr. Hinelar who replies that they must enact their plan now. The kunekunes gather around their leader, a black faced Boss Kunekune aka the not-cop from earlier. He gives a speech saying to eliminate the Megarangers who try to run away. To be fair there is about a hundred of these goons around, so many that they do grapple with Red briefly. The Digitank is driven over by the others in the mean time. The Boss Kunekune throws palm fire balls and telekinesis followed by hand shocks to deal with them. The others show up to assault him. Black gives Red a new drill saber custom while he uses to blast Boss Kunekune who gets ticked and has the grunts merge with him to become King Kunekune. GM is summoned down and the Megarangers head in. However, King Kunekune proves he is able to hold his own as punches and the Booster Rifle are barely any effect on the overall body. Pink suggests aiming for the heart where he does- Actually that is the left pectoral. Boss Kunekune is hit and King Kunekune falls apart. Red thanks Pink followed by saying she should go to college. She replies that she is having fun as a Megaranger since it does count with the others over hearing. They see Shinya being picked on and Pink decides to transform and walk over to help him out. Shinya thanks her and Red complains to the professor who has no idea what he is talking about. Next episode shows Blue in a private school with nezire computers.

Boss Kunekune: Powers include a human disguise, palm fire balls, telekinesis, hand shocks, and merging with other kunekunes to form King Kunekune

Episode 15:

The vice principal has the Megarangers standing in a line and complains about the school website not being updated every month while they mock him behind his back. He also has security cameras in their club room catching them goofing off before showing the bills. By the next day he will want a report that Black promised. After that everyone wonders where Blue is since he was absent. Black gets frustrated about the situation and looks to find Blue who we see is going to a place called Gojoin High because of an email he got. At this academy he spots the email sender, Souichi, and a geeky physics teacher. The two were friends in middle school that went to separate high schools according to their conversations. He offers him looking into their Digital Research Club and Blue accepts. In the club everyone is typing math formulas which are supposedly college leveled. Blue is offered a chance to work and he does so, the screen flashes a picture of an owl. On Death Neziros Shiborena tells Dr. Hinelar that Owl Nezire is collecting geniuses to build a super weapon. Yugande says humans shouldn't be needed to destroy themselves before we see Souichi looking over everybody. Blue notices the owl picture on another computer and sees Black signaling him. In private he reveals he looked at the email and says that club is in trouble because of the vice president's report. Black takes Blue away when he notices the geeky physics teacher running around. He follows him only for said teacher to disappear. Blue says he'd rather research for Souichi's club and Black gets irked. The lights go dim and on the monitor is Owl Nezire who hypnotizes them and gives away the Nezirejia's plan. After that we see 3D renderings of the super weapon and Blue tries snapping people out of it, starting with Souichi before Owl Nezire attacks. Blue thinks it is the physics teachers and goes after him.

The others complain about computer graphics when the professor contacts them about nezire readings at Gojoin High. Blue and Souichi travel around the school basement and spot the super weapon being built, the physics teacher blames Souichi claiming he would have a higher body temperature. Blue starts acting hypnotic and accesses a computer. Owl Nezire reveals himself to be possessing Souichi, commenting that his image always controls people eventually. The physics teacher is horrified and is knocked out with hypnotic eye lights followed by teleporting the super weapon and having kunekunes take Blue away. He commands the club himself and becomes invisible once the others show up.... Only to undo it seconds later. They try snapping him out of it, but that fails and Owl Nezire attempts the same thing. They are stunned so he continues his ocular assault. However, Blue manages to ruin some coding that causes the programming to fall apart and causes the weapon to spark. He claims to have undone the hypnosis with good eyes- HYPNOSIS DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT! The Megarangers transform and the fighting heads to the basement. The ceiling gets blasts with Black and Blue having a friend moment about over doing it. An assault with individual weapons is done to stun the nezire monster so he calls for Bibidevi who bites him on the nose and grows through the school roofs. The Megarangers then head toward Shuttle to combine with Base to become GM followed by atmospheric re-entry. Wow Owl Nezire looks short compared to GM. He charges after a shot of the Booster Rifle only for GM to throw him. His eyes, however, manage to hold GM at bay with the electricity in the blasts when Blue gets an idea. The Mega Shield deflects a blast to stun Owl Nezire before the GS is brought out to use the Cutter to make him explode. Everyone at Gojoin High returns back to normal while the Megarangers try to finish the report with Red and Pink bringing snacks. Pink freaks out that Blue falls asleep from exhaustion and pressed the deletion key. The episode ends with him smiling in his sleep. Next episode shows people with moth marks and Black being stressed out.

Owl Nezire: Powers include a hypnotic computer virus, hypnosis from the eyes, electric eye blasts, possession, invisibility, and flight
