Captain Shark Reviews Gorenger and Beyond!

[Captain Shark]

Netflix teams up with IG to make a new exclusive anime! Speaking of things that sound exciting yet are not here is the penultimate part of part 16!

Episode 46:

After a recap of last episode we see the Voyager Machines and Ship at lunar base followed by INET looking for the brainwashed humans. At Hinelar City, Shiborena activates an energy shield and informs Dr. Hinelar of the progress while Death Neziros is in the unspecified tundra. Illusion Nezira is summoned by Shiborena with Yugande stating their plans for the moon are nearly ready. He teleports off and becomes giant sized to rampage Tokyo. The Megarangers see this and proceed to transform and summon the Voyager Machines so MV can be used. Illusion Nezira uses his illusion powers to confuse the Megarangers and teleport to multiple cities before attacking MV directly. He tells the humans he can appear anywhere at will and that their country will never be safe before disappearing. After that Red sees a lot of his neighbors leaving for fear of the Nezirejia. The only one not willing to leave is Takeshi from far back earlier in the series, but his mom forces him. Red sees a flier for a charter ship he drops. The professor tells Red he has no idea who arranged the ships when research is done. At Horoboshi High students are still walking around campus with the others finding out via a flier. Good to know teens have to go to school during massive disasters! Mr. Oiwa lets them know class has started. The teachers including him are just trying to remain calm. The professor then tells the Megarangers that a ship went missing so they cyber slider their way to it. Onboard the ship seems to be empty with the camera trying to induce sea sickness. They look around and spot nothing save for fresh food in a dining hall. Blue finds a running show in slow motion WOULD SOMEONE KEEP THE CAMERA STILL!? The conclusion is that the Nezirejia are abducting people in swaths so INET gives out an order for large boats not to leave the country. Shiborena takes over a cruiser soon after, sending it out to sea. The professor tells the Megarangers about it and Red realizes it is the same ship Takeshi is on.

Kunekunes surround civilians with Shiborena stating theyare heading for Hinelar City. Takeshi thinks the Megarangers will save them and sure enough they show up complete with intros. Fighting ensues with Red handling Yugande rather easily. A kunekune takes Takeshi hostage only to get a kick to the face. A blue portal opens up at the front of the ship and the villains teleport away. Red and Pink try steering the ship wheel which is stuck. The professor tells them the vortex must have an energy source so Yellow tries looking for one. The civilians run over each other trying to get to life boats. Yellow finds a tower that is emitting energy and Red has MV go down to take it out. However, Illusion Nezira gets in their way like before. The vortex hole is about to swallow the cruiser when Black realizes they have to take down the tower. The VS is about to be used when Illusion Nezira kicks him down. MW shows up to bring the tower down. Illusion Nezira holds him in place while the VS destroys it and the psycho nezira at the same time. The passengers of the ship get off safely with the Megarangers welcoming Takeshi and his mom back. Black points out how many people got abducted who Shiborena has kunekunes haul off over a bridge into Hinelar City. The episode ends with Dr. Hinelar maniacally laughing. Next episode shows Black and Yellow saving the others who get nabbed by kunekunes.

Illusion Nezira: Powers include teleportation, size changing, eye lasers, illusion spawning, and levitation

Episode 47:

On lunar base the professor tells the Megarangers that the abducted people are gathered to Hinelar City and so they must be on their guards. Blue points out Black and Yellow are off duty tomorrow with the professor replying they have entrance exams. That night they study for said exams. During this the ghosts of the Nezirangers walk around, the INET computers pick up strange readings that are not necessarily nezire energy. Red, Blue, and Pink dispatch and see nothing while the Nezirangers try fighting only for everything to go through them. Dr. Hinelar starts hearing sounds, but then turns his focus on the plan. Shiborena summons Transfer Nezira, their strongest psycho nezira yet, and Dr. Hinelar tells him to roll out. The next day, Black and Yellow meet up in preperation for the exams while the others munch on takoyaki until Transfer Nezira shows up. Before they can transform they are hit with his transfer beam. Black and Yellow get ready until the professor tells them about the situation. They transform after a long pause and spot Transfer Nezira who managed to transfer many civilians but are unaffected by the beam because they are not allowed in Hinelar City. The transfered people including the others begin to wake up. Kunekunes attack soon after and the others escape via bridge jump. However, they cannot transform and are quickly ganged up on. Black and Yellow make it to lunar base and go over facts we know. Yellow suggests going in unarmed, but the professor will not allow it. They insist because of their teammates. The psycho nezira is spotted and Black and Yellow head for him. The professor gives them a backpack with a computer, a tracker, bombs, and battle rizers- WHY DOES ONLY RED GET ONE UNTIL NOW!? He hugs them before they go off and get transfered.

They wake up and kunekunes begin their organizing only for a bobm Yellow uses to distract them. They hide with Black analyzing via a tiny laptop and Yellow fires the tracker into the sky to find the shield emitter. A kunekune is nearby and suspects something only for the tracker to land and knock it out. Black and Yellow head outside only to get surrounded. Using the battle rizers they fight back, but the grunts reveal to have swords in their guns WHICH THEY NEVER BOTHERED USING BEFORE NOW. Shiborena alerts the city, during whic the others fight back against the mooks. They find the shield emitter and plant C4 on it. Transfer Nezira and the kunekunes catch them, but they jump off the building and detonate it. This allows the others to transform and save Black and Yellow during free fall complete with a black panty shot for dumb reasons. They transform soon after to face off against Transfer Nezire and his kunekune squad. Also Red thinks skipping higher education is a bad thing before the intros happen followed by fighting. Black and Yellow fight Transfer Nezira only to get smacked around. Both use their rizers to finish the job. Bibidevi does his enlargement virus biting followed by Black summoning MV. The giants clash woth MV punching Transfer Nezira up followed by the Voyager Pulsar stunning him long enough for the VS to blow him up into an ember of fire. A tremor occurs with Hinelar Tower disappearing by order of the doc. On lunar base the professor inspects the teens and is glad they got back safely. Sadly they could not save the people although without their shields they can be tracked. Black and Yellow are given voucher tickets due to the Nezirejia attacks so they can retake the entrance exams. The episode ends with the Neziranger ghosts vowing to get new bodies. Next episode shows the return of the Nezirangers and Silver using Digitank.

Transfer Nezira: Powers include a transfer beam from the gun-like right hand, teleportation, telekinetic bolts from the left hand

Episode 48:

Mr. Oiwa notices everyone is absent when Pink stops by to turn in her exam. He thanks her while wondering when everyone kidnapped will return. The others wait at the club room waiting for Hinelar City to be known. Pink walks in mentioning how depressed Mr. Oiwa is when the professor finds Hinelar City 300 meters below Sagami Bay. Cut to Hinelar City where Kunekunes lead people to lab with machinery Shiborena uses. Dr. Hinelar walks in to confirm everything is going to schedule. The humans in the room are about to be baptized by the Jabius Heart as one boy is separated from his mother. A red ray from a cieling machine slowly makes him disappear, turning his body into data onto a card with Dr. Hinelar sating humanity was made to serve him. Judging by the drawer Yugande puts the kid's card in this happened to dozens of people already. The Digitank mobilizes underground until it reaches Hinelar City unaware the Neziranger ghosts followed them. Grunts are slaughtered once they enter. Dr. Hinelar is informed and knows this would eventually happen. They soon split up, Red and Pink going into an empty lab room where baptisms are done. Pink gets trapped with Dr. Hinelar informing Red that she has been scanned and converted into a data card. He fires his mega sniper to no avail as the mad doctor proclaims humanity will be reprogrammed in his uniform image. Pink yells at Red to destroy the machine as she is being converted, but Dr. Hinelar points out that she will never go back to normal if that happens. The others arrive just to see her vanish and scream. The cieling machine is then aimed for them and turns them into data cards which ticks off the Neziranger ghosts. Dr. Hinelar does another broadcast proclaiming he is the ruler of humanity and that among his victims are the Megarangers to remake as he desires followed by evil laughter. Silver is given permission to move out after that. The Neziranger ghosts start hijacking terminals and the baptism rays give them physical forms again.

They bust into the control room to reveal that the Jabius Heart revived them and they proceed to take the Megarangers' cards. Yugande says their roles have ended while telling Shiborena to get Dr. Hinelar to safety. The five of them have teleportation powers to mess with him and proceed to zap Yugande. The Megarangers are restored to their physical forms. They return in their civilian forms and are shocked by the return of their foes. Yugande keeps fighting them only to lose horribly so the Megarangers can escape outside. Once there the teens transform with Dr. Hinelar and Shiborena watching. Intros are done followed by charging into melee combat. Silver arrives and sees what is going on. He contacts Red and Silver is told to save the people in data cards. Beam spamming follows which has the Nezirangers turn into their monster forms. Silver briefly fights a weakened Yugande who cannot even aim his eye lasers correctly and gets slashed up. Silver then uses the main control room to start turning people back to normal while the Megarangers proceed to be beaten. Once everyone leavves Silver tells Red he set a bomb in the building followed by luring the Nezirangers to the building where Silver intends to trap them in a data card. The luring is successful, but the fighting continues, making him unable to collect them properly. Eventually they are bunched up although Nezi Phantom manages to shock Red until Blue cuts his tentacle off. The Neziranger cards are placed on the console to fry as the bombs go off in the Hinelar Tower. Boom. The Megarangers make it out safely and are confident Dr. Hinelar will be taken down for good. On Death Neziros Dr. Hinelar is POed to end the episode. Next episode shows Moroboshi High and the Digitank being assaulted and the Megarangers walking off angered.

Nezi Phantom continued: forehead lasers

Welcome to the end! It is now over with part final!

Episode 49:

Dr. Hinelar becomes rageful while Shiborena uses their face identification to locate them at their high school. Speaking of which, Mr. Oiwa does rollcall and tells them about graduation. Bickering ensues followed by Black asking the class what to do for graduation. A donut eating context is suggested while some boy attacks Mr. Kurosawa. The boy walks into the class room before going after Red and saying he is a Megaranger followed by revealing to be Hell Nezira. Yellow points out they cannot transform as Mr. Oiwa gets smacked hard. They somehow get outside and transform with everyone in disbelief. Hell Nezira proves too be too much and Silver shows up to say fighting is bad for education. He easily out maneuvers Hell Nezira who teleports off and vows to destroy them. They then head off for their homes in case their families are attacked. Red's house is destroyed and he worries about his parents who some INET guy informs was taken to safety. When the Megarangers get back Mr. Oiwa is in the hospital followed by the principal throwing a fit over them being the people that saved the city because they "disrupted and brough the Nezirejia here". They are forced to leave because they are earth protectors and Mr. Kurosawa points the "for your safety" excuse. Yup, worse than Liveman, I can confirm it here. Shintaro says Jiro almost died from stray laser shots and the other students are cowards to help their friends. Insert sad walking away here with sad insert music. The professor tells Shougo about this and feels bad about it.

Silver leads them to an empty warehouse where generic reflecting is done including Red regret become a Megaranger. The professor does some of his own with Digitank as he looks on at the water followed by calling Dr. Hinelar out. Yugande and Shiborena show up to attack. He continues to taunt him and gives the order to slay the professor. Kunekunes attack the Megarangers followed by Hell Nezira. Silver transforms while the others are too mopey to do so. Silver wins and gives a short speech before Shougo tells them the professor is in danger. Hell Nezira returns to fight and Silver faces off, this time getting beaten up. Insert they were wrong montage here. Transforming is done while the professor rides Digitank and jumps out before it explodes. The Megarangers show up to save him and fight Yugande and Shiborena as Silver throws Hell Nezira to the battlefield. Silver handles both commanders while the Megarangers take down Hell Nezira. Yugande and Shiborena teleport off while Bibidevi makes him grow- WHERE DID HE GET THAT SCYTHE!? Red summons MV to fight.... SOMEHOW HAVING GM'S MS. Hell Nezira gets cut up easily before the VS finishes him off. Dr. Hinelar throws a fit and Silver has them use a shack as a temporary club room to end the episode. Next episode shows the Megarangers in raincoats and Yugande in red fighting MV on the moon.

Hell Nezira: Powers include a human disguise, eye lasers, a forehead beam, and a scythe

Episode 50:

After a recap of last episode we see that graduation will be in two days so Red decides they should beat the Nezirejia by then. Blue and Pink decide to go shopping. Cut to Death Neziros where Shiborena analyzes MW flying aroundd to find the Megaranger base, but fails. Yugande proposes going to the Moon himself. Dr. Hinelar is locked in his lab playing his electric organ working on something. Blue and Pink overhear adults at the super market yammering about their identities being known so the latter runs back to the shack all mopey. Blue returns telling them the townspeople have caught on. Everyone bickers pointlessly while Moroboshi High students talk about supporting the Megarangers, Shintaro thinking they will ruin graduation. In the club room Shiborena hacks the computer to determine their base an attacks Mr. Kurosawa. She tells Yugande about this who asks to be turned into the ultimate warriorusing some sort of device. She notes that despite the power up he could lose all his energy at once and die. Bibidevi asks Dr. Hinelar what he is doing who gets blown away. His hand starts twisting as he has a flashback to the day he was sent to the dimension. He vows revenge against the professor- Wait what revenge? INET discovers something heading their way and out of a terminal is Yugande who is all red. Silver fights him off and leads him the the Moon surface. Yugande wipes the floor with Silver before growing to kaiju size. MW is summoned to use the Winger Cannon, but that fails. Yugande then attacks the base which causes the Voyager Machine hanger to shake.

Blue tries contacting the professor who contacts them that Yugande is attacking the base. They hear something going on outside which happens to be explosions and kunekunes lead by Shiborena attacking civilians. The professor tells them to save the people. Pink goes in to save them and they transform once Shiborena spots them. Fighting breaks out and their confidence slowly restores. Yugande heads for Earth, MW will not let him go. GM and DM head into battle to assault Yugande to make it three against one. The Dark Sword takes down DM, blowing it to pieces. This allows Yugande to head for Earth. Silver tells Red the Voyager Machine hanger is blocked as Yugande attacks them, but GM fends him off long enough for the Megarangers to board. GS goes into whip mode, but that does little before it is sliced off. GM is then impalred while on the ground until his body begins to overheat and he has to shrink down. The Megarangers fight him on the ground and charge. Eventually they win the assault and Shiborena takes a hit meant for Yugande. He lays her down and charges forward to which Red uses his battle rizer punch and chop followed by a slash which causes him to explode in slow motion. After that Shiborena tells Dr. Hinelar the Megaranger base was destroyed, but Red destroyed him. She starts sparking and thanks him for giving her life as she would have remained loyal forever. In her final moments we find out the doc was her father and she explodes into computer pieces. Dr. Hinelar vows revenge while GM lays in the middle of Tokyo as INET tries to get it online. The professor tells them not to give up hope, ending on a cliffhanger. Next episode shows MV fighting Grand Neziros in the final battle.

Episode 51:

INET and the Megarangers try to restore GM while Dr. Hinelar proclaims his final assault is ready thanks to demonic science. That night a monster walks around as the repairs continue into the morning. MW is clearing the hanger for the Voyager Machines as the Megarangers realize they will miss their graduation. A crowd gathers around to blame the people that saved them. The professor willingly takes the blame before kunekunes show up along with the monster from earlier. They transform and do intros to take down the grunts. The unnamed monster goes after the professor only for the Megarangers to go after him. At Moroboshi High a girl named Erina tells the principal to postpone the ceremony for the Megarangers who are fighting. Bickering ensues showing how ungrateful the townspeople are. During this the Megarangers go beam spamming which fails. However, the monster is revealed to be Dr. Hinelar. His right hand twists up as Death Neziros shows up to tractor bea him up. He curses the Megarangers and Red get confirmation the Voyager Machines are ready at 70% power. MW goes down in sparks for no reason and they launch to form MV. The saucer fires lasers and Dr. Hinelar forms his ultimate organism as a humanoid body forms on the undersize. Death Neziros converts into a robot named Grand Neziros, the greatest creation of the mad doctor. MV gets punched up and thrown so the VS is used which breaks off the right arm which merely regrows. Dr. Hinelar strokes his ego by being so smart and such. He thinks the professor is who made humanity rejected him. In his youth he studied on methods to enhance the human body for space travel (Kamen Rider Super-1 reference?), even using his own daughter in an experiment which killed her. He was witch hunted while the professor went ahead with the mega suit project. Yellow asks if that is what made him happy with him replying basically "no you!" The Megarangers remember when the townspeople turned on them lately, but keep fighting. Grand Neziros summons a jouster lance as he states Jabius allowed him to continue his research which corrupted him. MV's left arm goes off from a lance beam.

INET scrambles to get GM functioning while the fight heads closer for Moroboshi High. Dr. Hinelar keeps twisting up while saying he has no regrets as he is proving his science is superior. The Megarangers go on about trusting humanity while MV is being beaten. The Megarangers then hear people in their school cheering them on complete with signs. Grand Neziros impales MV which SOMEHOW CAUSES THE MEGARANGERS TO LOSE THEIR SUITS! THIS IS DUMB! Suddenly MV manages to get stronger and take the lance to impale Grand Neziros. Dr. Hinelar keeps twisting stating he is a god in the human world. As a final effort he intends to self destruct. MV flies up carrying Grand Neziros into the atmosphere as Dr. Hinelar starts hallucinating and laughing. The Moroboshi High students are stunned from the explosion as are the INET folks with the professor crying. The graduation continues on schedule with flowers placed onto the desks of the Megarangers. Guess who crashes the ceremony on their cyber sliders? They even do intros and take off their helmets. Everyone save for Shintaro congradulates them with Shintaro saying he is sorry as he starts to cry. Happy ending all around as they get their diplomas while the credits and ending theme play.

Hinelar Nezira: Powers include high jumping, a right hand tentacle, eye lasers, and beam resistance
Death Neziros: Powers include flight, teleportation, and hull lasers
Grand Neziros: Powers include regeneration, a lance that fires energy beams, eye lasers, and a tentacle in each shoulder that emit electricity
=================================================
Worst entry in the franchise thus far! Liveman, as much as I berate it, is just mediocre and most of the stupid parts are outside plot related episodes. Here on the other hand the stupid simply never relents! Even in otherwise serious moments some pointless banter/melodrama/poor use of humor has to be inserted somewhere. The main motivation of the antagonist was "people misunderstood my experiments so I went to another dimension to continue my research and the dimensional god just allowed it in return for conquest of a dimension he knows nothing about". There is no more I can complain about, what I am going to say is going to get a few knickers in knots: Power Rangers in Space did better than Megaranger. Nope, not taking that back. So yes, first bad sentai series! This is also confirming a new pattern for me, starting with Liveman every third entry has been a massive down hill turn if you recall the Jetman and Kakuranger reviews. This also is not counting how every fifth entry does lower than its predecessor, meaning if Timeranger ends up bad, Gaoranger might be rock bottom quality. Will that be true? Hopefully not.

[Captain Shark]

Megaranger vs. Carranger:

An alien clam heads for Earth while Red is late for school thanks to oversleeping. Since his dad's truck is in the shop he has to walk, just as he leaves two mechanics drop it off. Said mechanics give the customer jelly bars (they are Red and Pink). He makes it barely late and cracks jokes about Mr. Oiwa's outfit. Black spots the clam falling to Earth and uses the stomach is hurting excuse while trying to get the others to come with him. The think it is a Nezire Monster when the clam shows up and lands in Pink's hands. An alien motorcyclist shows himself with the clam shaking. The biker is revealed to be Helmedor and demands his clam for fishing purposes. He manages to take it and shoots at them with his boomstick. He wishes to make the universe his biker paradise. Pink takes it back and Helmedor beats them rather easily. Beam spamming is soon done, but he has an energy field. He gts interrupted by Silver who throws his jacket in his face before transforming and chasing him with the Auto Slider. After a rather cool duel Helmedor appears to blow up- No, wait, he grows. Red calls for GM anf fighting continues. Helmedor uses a sword, likely a claymore, and GM uses the Booster Rifle which just gets deflected back. DM is called for Super GM can form. The Gatling Blaster busts the energy field followed by the Knuckle- Wait, he just shrinks. At the club room the professor says he knows nothing about the clam, but they got an alien message saying to protect the ray of light from the space biker. The Nezirejia will likely be after it. Pink tries wish making and wants a huge cake which it soon makes right on the table. Someone opens a window to take the clam and makes off with it. He hides behind four people that try misleading the Megarangers. This fails and they get caught in lies. The students and clam robbers turn around and are revealed to be not be students. They make a run for it and take off in a car. In it we find out the thieves are the Carrangers who ditch their disguises. The Megarangers go after them via cyber sliders. Red tries going off a truck ramp which knocks their Red down. Yellow says he placed a tracer on the car. Cut to Pegasus where we find out Dappu sent them a space fax about the clam whose named is Picot and grants five wishes. Red does a wish for Katsudon and gets it. The women scold him when the Yugande and kunekunes teleport to their garage with Crab Nezira. Yugande thinks Picot is a super energy source witht he Carrangers stumped. They get attacked just as the Megarangers show up. Red gets ticked and the Carrangers are about to transform when the Megarangers tell them to stand back. They shove them and transform, the Megarangers are dumbstruck. Crab Nezira fights the Carrangers near a lake thanks to Toei editing and gets Picot despite it being under Red's suit. The Megarangers fight the Nezirejia with Red getting beaten by Yugande and his Dark Sword although his beam spamming helps. The Megarangers take Picot back followed by both teams doing assaults. Yugande calls for a retreat followed by Picot revealing himself. He thanks both teams for saving him as they turn back into civilians. He tells them they still have three wishes left. Red Racer and Mega Pink get looked at funny. On Death Neziros Dr. Hinelar throws a fit while Shiborena states believes a new psycho nezira can be made. Helmedor walks in thinking they can work together, Yugande rightfully asking how the hell they can get in. Helmedor states Picot can make wishes. After that both teams wait for Dappu to return on a beach shore and chow on sushi. Everyone goes across what they want to wish for, the Carrangers mentioning a space shup to make friends across the universe. Pink remembers that graduation photos are today and they might miss them.

Dappu shows up and the reunion is nice even when he overhugs Picot. However, it turns out he is Helmedor in disguise. Everyone transformsonly for him to get away on his bike. Shiborena shows up with kunekunes. She blows a kiss at the Carrangers that causes mind control and convinces them the Megarangers are enemies. Shiborena teleports off while Helmedor intends to make his dream come true. His first wish is a giant laser cannon that can destroy planets which is formed in the middle of Tokyo complete with a console and telescope. He starts with a prison planet where he was locked away for two centuries called.... Jail. The laser fires and blows up the planet. Crab Nezira wants Picot, but Helmedor goes back on his word. The Megarangers fend off the Carrangers, their Red finding Dappu tied up and cleave gagged in a nearby cave. He gets untied and tries to use car magic to save his friends with a half mortality rate. The Giga Booster gets summoned for cannon mode while beam spamming powered by car magic is used to stop it. The resulting explosion causes the Carrangers to be knocked down and quickly back to normal upon waking up. Crab Nezira manages to take Picot just as the Megarangers show up to rain on his parade. He wishes for the previous psycho neziras to be resurrected to fight the Megarangers. This means the episode likely took place before episode 45, bit Canary nezira is the only one absent for some reason. The revived squad does its assaults while Crab Nezira is about to turn Earth into a twisted nightmare. Helmedor takes him just in time and the Carrangers kick him in the face to stop him. The Megarangers go into civilian forms during the fight. Red throws Picot so the Carrangers can fight the psycho neziras. On the brink of death they are unsure of their options until the Carrangers fend them off- HOW DID RED RECOVER PICOT THAT FAST? Turns out the clam shell was the noodle bowl that was with Red's wish. Shiborena uses a low kiss to mind control Helmedor while the Carrangers have the Megarangers do the last wish. Insert making your own dream speech here which makes Pink try. Red wishes for a new power to fight with and they become empowered with light, turning them back and giving them Megatectors for a quick Fiveman homage. After that all ten of them line up and do intros. Kunekunes join in the smack down with an English version of the Megaranger opening playing. Seeing Red using his go cart to ram down Helmedor is amusing. The Carrangers use their individual weapons and the Megarangers use the Rainbow Impulse to take down the psycho neziras. Shiborena teleports Bibidevi in to make the monsters kaiju sized, Red calls for MV, and the Carrangers have the ranger vehicles befomr RV Robo. Helmedor and Crab Nezira go in only to be brought down in melee. Helmedor picks up his planet destroying laser cannon and aims it at them, but Silver shows up in MW to help out via Mega Cannon which destroys the super weapon. The RV Sword is brought out to end Helmedor with the Racing Slash while MW gives MV its booster to destroy Crab Nezira via the VS. Sunset occurs, both teams meet up to celebrate. Picot says he has other planets to visit and they will meet again in over two hundred million four thousand years. The Megarangers missed their graduation photos, but they are okay with it. In its place Red Racer suggests their own group photo. The movie ends with them on a bus to take them to the beach while the credits roll.

Helmedor: Powers include a motorcycle capable of space travel, a shotgun, an energy field, size changing, a claymore, disguises, high jumping, and eye lasers
Crab Nezira: Powers include teleportation and crab bubbles from the left claw



At first I thought this could easily fit into the main continuity, then I realized Lizard Nezira was around during the Neziranger saga which would have made these events impossible due to their hunting obsession. Plus the Nezirejia dimension is still around which collapsed at the end of said saga so.... Unfortunately it cannot be canon for the third time in a row.

 

[rangergod]

I'm sorry you could not enjoy Megaranger. It is one of my favorite sentai.

 

[Captain Shark]

I appreciate it, rangergod.

 

[Captain Shark]

Now we come to the series that saved Super Sentai after its near decade ratings slump known as Gingaman.

Wait, wrong image.

"Rambly scrambly porridge!"

I know right? Why would Funimation use Kick Starter to dub Escaflowne of all things?

"Get back on topic!"

So yeah, this took longer than it should have to get to, mainly because I watched Megaranger every other day for a good chunk of the take on.

"Divided how?"

Ten parts with five episodes each.

"And opinions when?"

After eps 12, 24, 35, 43, and the end

"Anything else you want to share?"

In Space was my last Power Rangers series so no nostalgia value will be emerging from this series. Sorry folks, but I was in 4th grade when Lost Galaxy aired and it seemed like the perfect time to move on after that.

"Please don't be harsh on this like you were Megaranger!"

Well it better do good!

"So this saved Super Sentai?"

According to the ratings it did and GoGo V continued this until Timeranger which had the lowest toy sells until Ninninger.

"How soon will this one finish?"

I don't know since I have other things to do. Aside from regular real life shenanigans, at the time of this post there is the fact I have been sluggishly trying to finish a pair of toku series (Metalder and Daimajin Kanon), I am almost to my 1000th anime title according to MyAnimeList.net, and there is my own site which could use some long overdue updating. Plus there is always the chance my home country will elect another Republican because Bernie Sanders people have a hate boner for Hilary Clinton because boo hoos, so I might have to flee to Canada or the Bahamas.

"Why not ask us to get Web of Trust accounts while you are at it?"

Good idea! For those that don't know, Web of Trust is an awesome browser add on that allows you to find out which websites are hostile or not (as well as make your own ratings)! I recommend it and since when have sharks lied to you? We don't lie, we jut eat constantly. And no this is not a replacement for anti-virus/spyware software.

https://www.mywot.com/

"Didn't you say you'd start scoring sentai and not just rank them?"

Yes, but not here, after GoGo V at the soonest and more likely after Timeranger (one series for every hour of the day!). Gaornager might be the best what with it being the 25th anniversary series with a celebration movie and all.

"I noticed Carranger and Megaranger have had no macros, what is the deal?"

Being sad in general and not being able to find something of a worthy macro.
=================================================
Episode 1:

The narrator narrates the wilderness being a neato torpedo when an acorn fairy flies by. A boy tells a sketch artist about it who seems enthusiastic. Said boy just goes back to his car to use his laptop while the sketch artist, turning out to be his dad, encourages him to look into nature more. The acorn fairy, Bokk, follows them around and goes through a magic barrier where tribal humans live ruled by an old man named Ohgi. He is awaiting five swords to have successors because cycle of the stars or something. Cut to the deep sea where the narrator mentions peace is ending as a harbinger of disaster approaches. After that we see two brothers practicing fire magic briefly before more warriors show up, all being 133th generation. One of the brothers brings up there are six of them and only five can be chosen. Hijinks ensue from one warrior that emits lightning. Bokk stops in to say hello. Cut to the boy discovering he was walking in circles. Bokk and one of the brothers accidentally pass the barrier. and encounter the boy. Bokk runs for it while a ceremony is being held for the other five 133rd generation. Ohgi gives them the five swords and announces their various elements- HOW ARE FLOWERS AN ELEMENT!? Wouldn't metal or wood make more sense!? Anyway, they must take sacred ginga braces in a monument. Under the ocean a fault occurs while the brother talks to the boy, the latter mentioning they are in the age of reason (the fact Gore wasn't the 43rd president tosses that out the window, but okay). Ohgi mentions that 3000 years ago powerful space pirates came to Earth called the Barban and it took five warriors with the power of the Star Beasts to seal them beneath the sea. The brother tells this story and the boy laughs. Suddenly the fault reaches the forest and the demonic castle of the Barban rises from the water, revealing to be the Daitanic! The Barban wake up and act wild and bantering over nothing. Their minions and grunts of this series, the yartots, pop in to join the celebration. It is here where Zahab, the ruler of the Barban, makes himself known and everyone lines up to act serious and silent. He demands that everyone go out and run wild and they proceed to do so by flying over the water.

The yartots cause mass panic around a city with the four generals also using their weapons willy nilly for public destruction (or is Iris's case jewelry theft). The five warriors get on dressed up horses to ride to the mountain. This involves passing the barrier which has the other brother wondering what is going on. The 133rd generation warriors make it when a flying jolly roger allows Zahab and Bucrates to land, the latter finding the Star Beasts or SBs as I will call them from now on. He also knows the warriors are descended from the people that sealed them away. Yartots attack only to be given the smack down, also explosive flower petals. The boy is in disbelief by seeing this. Zahab mentions his left hand was taken and proceeds to fire it, attached to a chain, and uses his cutlass to attack the brother with the sword. The other brother jumps in to help, Zahab revealing a cannon in his arm. The chosen brother takes the hit and Zahab creates a fault with his cutlass. The other brother tries saving him from falling into lava until Zahab uses his chained hook to pull a side of the fault. The four generals arrive while the chosen brother says to the other one he is powerful too before giving him the sword. He dives down into the lava as the fault closes, the Barban laugh as the other brother cries followed by yelling in intense rage. Said rage allows him to increase his flamethrowing range. The monument awakens with fire and the five SB statues transport the ginga braces onto them via light balls. This allows the five to become the Gingamen, transforming and giving intros. Sounds like Green is a fan of Ebirah. The boy is surprised a legend is real as the Gingamen jump into battle, slaughtering yartots although Yellow is more interested in stripping one in a bush. Red aims directly for the bosses for the death of his brother, passing through the generals and aiming straight for Zahab. However, that chained hook proves formidable complete with electric shocks, but Red keeps up the heat which eventually allows a slash that causes explosions. The Barban retreat and the episode ends with the five mourning the loss of the brother by uniting their swords. The ending theme sounds like American country music. Next episode shows a ceremony, fighting in the forest village, and the SBs appearing.

Episode 2:

On Daitanic the Barban wonder what to do about the Gingamen. Zahab notes that Datanic still has a seal and without him they cannot sail through the galaxy. Also Daitanic eats planets after treasure plundering which is basically ramming through them, turning their life into a jewel, then swallowing it. Zahab has a collection of these jewels in his closet. Cut to the forest, specifically the Galaxy Forest, where a funeral is held for the other brother, Ohgi praying the SBs guide his soul. Much crying ensues from everyone save for Pink for some reason although she looks sad enough. After the funeral the warriors realize they have no sealing methods and an overall disadvantage. Red mentions they still have Earth Power on their side. The five SB stars light in the sky during this. The next day Bucrates reads a book saying the seal can be undone if Datanic has enough energy. Sambash summons Kolschizer, Budoh summons Komuhachi, Iris summons her daughter Medo Medo, and Battobas summons Tanks. The generals bicker about who goes first until Shelinda reminds them Zahab gives the orders. He calls them pathetic and gives them cards, Sambash gets the joker card so he is in charge of energy retrieval. Cut to Tokyo where the sketch artist and his son return from the Galaxy Forest. Yartots attack random civilians with Kolschizer leading the assault by lifting a car over his head. Why? He thinks gasoline will help revive Daitanic and a tiny chest Bucrates gave him absorbs the gas into what I assume is a pocket dimension. Bokk tells the Gingamen the Barban are coming for them. Sure enough Shelinda leads a small squad of grunts to find the barrier which she cuts with her rapier. The squad suddenly multiplies once they head in, heaidng for the village. Ohgi and the villagers fight back once they arrive and wow the archers like aiming for the neck. Shelinda's hand lasers take out the archers and she throws a spiky sphere that drains the energy of the forest. It makes you wonder if this is the same supernatural energy from Megaranger or even Earth Energy from Changeman. The device has an energy field as Blue finds out the hard way. In Tokyo the sketch artist and son make a run for it while the yartots accidentally cause a gas explosion. Ohgi tells them the Gingamen to save the city as he will defend the forest using a mirror he throws into the air and turn the surrounding area into stone. The Gingamen are meant to protect the Earth itself and the SBs will surely come to help destroy the Barban. Ohgi gives Bokk a gem before being turned to stone himself. The now stone Galaxy Forest sinks beneath the ground which apparently had waterfalls around it. Global warming did a number to Mount Fuji. The Gingamen ride on, not looking back.

Tokyo heads into chaos, the Gingamen showing up to save the boy and his dad from falling rubble. Kolschizer and his garrison encounter them and fighting breaks out after they transform and give intros. Once the yartots are taken down, Red fights Kolschizer and easily beats him up. He drinks Barba Extract which is basically a red liquid in an alcohol bottle. It allows Barban Monsters to grow at the cost of their lifespan, the narrator noting it is only used as a final resort. The Gingamen flunk at doing anything to him when lasers from the sky stop him. Said lasers are from the five SBs. Kolschizer has his sights on them, the lion revealing to be the boss. Red is told (in roars) to ride him and he jumps onto the head to do so. Fire surrounds the SB and Green remembers that Earth Power increases the power of the SBs. The SB emits mouth flames to counter Kolschizer's blunderbuss and eventually causes him to explode, erupting in flames. Everyone acts happy until the Gingamen are seen looking at their forest home which is separated by a lake because wow did the stock footage screw up what it was supposed to show. Sometimes telling is a better idea than showing. Bokk comes by to give them the gem Ohgi gave him to end the episode. Next episode shows Blue being mopey and lots of snow.

Kolschizer: Powers include a claw for the left arm and a laser blunderbuss

Episode 3:

After a recap of last episode, the generals fight each other on Daitanic to see who will awaken their demon beast. Zahab tells them to stop it and Shelinda reminds them their in-fighting caused their sealing last time. Sambash is selected as field commander while the others are not allowed to interfere or criticize. Bucrates calls him an idiot for collecting gasoline before cutting to the Gingamen wondering where the hell to go next. The SBs show up as illusions, Green thinking they are being cheered on. Red reveals that Galaxy Forest will be back to normal once Earth is saved. The gem is revealed to have a seed in it before we see Yuuta, the kid from the last two episodes, finding them as his dad thinks they got lost. His dad shows up soon after in awe of the SBs. He offers to give them a new home, most are interested yet Blue feels down since it is not with nature. Meanwhile, Sambash throws a fit because Bucrates won't go because he is from a warm planet and it is freaking winter. Rigurou is summoned to help heat up the place. The Gingamen and their horses stay at a horse ranch with the dad saying he does need helpers while still in awe of meeting legendary warriors. Yuuta tries teaching them electronics with Yellow saying they know the basics as warrior training (how?) and freaks out when a phone rings. Red gives the seed to Green to plant outside and within seconds it becomes a tree dozens of meters tall. Rigurou goes around Tokyo draining the body heat of various people. This allows him to make the area snowy when the Ginga men show up and fight yartots that were not there previously. They teleport off with Blue seeing a brittle flower that falls apart. After that Blue decides to head back home with Red calling out his sadness. He quietly walks off, not even returning that night as the others talk about what to do. Red figures out something relating to flowers.

Blue sits by the lake when Red shows up remembering flowers that bloom once every twelve years. Said blooming caused various emotions. Blue feels bad about not saying goodbye to said flowers when the others show up saying the Star Flowers will bloom again and that they should not look back. A voice contacts them through the ginga braces and tells them the Barban are attacking the city. Rigurou causes a snow storm before the Gingamen show up to transform and give intros. Yartots get slaughtered in comical methods with Red and Blue fighting Rigurou only to flunk. The voice in the ginga braces mentions people will die if their body heat is not restored so they fight harder, eventually stabbing Rigurou to restore the city of all the snow. Both power up their swords and slash, making Rigorou using barba extract to grow and die. The Gingamen summon their various SBs consisting of Gingalion, Gingalcon, Gingarilla, Gingaverick, and Gingat. The five duke it out against eye laser spamming. The bestial melee goes on for a while due to slow motion and Blue gets on his SB upon being told to. One throw attack by the legs is executed followed by the others getting on their respective SBs. The various elemental attacks are used to over power Rigurou until more mouth flames blast him to pieces. The voice tells them to return to the club where the voice is coming from the tree. Turns out the tree is a portal to a secret temple, inside of it a smaller tree that has a face and calls himself Mokk. Ohgi entrusted him in case of disaster. He asks they place their hands on him and close their eyes, allowing them to see the blooming of the Star Flowers which gives Blue and the others more faith. Next episode shows Yellow being shocked and reckless with Green being angry and beaten.

Rigurou: Powers include body heat stealing and using as heat beams, snow spawning through the palms, teleportation, high jumping, and eye lasers

Episode 4:

At Silver Star Riding Club the narrator mentions how the Gingamen must adjust to the modern world. Bokk tells them the Barban are trying to revive Daitanic which will devour Earth. He also mentions they are not at full power yet before they do stable laboring. Yellow spots two punks with slingshots and shoots lightning at them to scare them off. Green chases after him and the others notice. He gets scolded for using his powers on teens when Red thinks about using his sword for wood chopping. This allows Yellow to run off until Yuuta comes back with supplies. He takes Yuuta with him before cutting to Daitanic where Bucrates tells Sambash the beast was born in a warm place. Zahab throws a fit over him not knowing what type of energy is useful for reviving Daitanic. Bucrates comes up with a few theories, electricity being one of them. Sambash summons Dreddredder after grabbing his revolver and both head out to get electricity. Yellow and Yuuta walk around, the former mentioning that Green gives orders all the time as they look at street performers. Yellow decides to help a magician by demonstrating his lightning powers. The crowd gathers while Dreddredder raids a house to drains its electricity with yartots helping him and storing electricity in party balloons. Bokk tells the others about this and tells them to move out. He knows where Yellow is, but is not okay with him fighting right now. The yartots spill balloons and the Gingamen arrive to fight. He soon gets away by flying away using the balloons. After that Green spots Yellow street performing and scolds him for misuse of his powers especially since they are technically borrowing the power. Green tells Yellow to think of his real purpose and walks off. Dreddredder comes back with tons of balloons with Bucrates yells that it will take years to collect enough power this way. Bucrates gives Dreddredder something that looks like a grenade that will allow him to absorb much more electricity. Bokk tells the others Yellow should know better before he comes back with doughnuts which everyone except Green seems to like. Even Bokk points out Earth Power is not his technically and he runs away. He comments about it being a tool when he sees electricity around the city going off with Dreddredder being the culprit. He heads over to fight with Bokk informing the others.

The others note the city has no power so they use a Light of The Earth to make it daylight, allowing them to beat up yartots. Since Yellow is not near any trees he cannot be tracked, specifically he is on a rooftop trying to fight Dreddredder to no avail. Also the device he swallowed doubles as armor somehow. Yellow's energy is drained as the others finish off the grunts. Green eventually realizes where Yellow is and uses his SB to get to a rooftop. Yellow's energy becomes drained and Dreddredder starts to strangle him until Green shows up to kick him in the face. Green faces off against Dreddredder only to get smacked around like a rag doll followed by getting shocked. Yellow wonders if he is this weak when Mokk points out his power is borrowed from the stars and therefore infinite, limited only by his heart. He stands up and transforms once more to overload Dreddredder before sending him off the rooftop and into some trees head first. Him and Green then do their energy charged sword slashes, making Dreddredder resort to barba extract growing. The two summon their respective SBs in a two against one fight before jumping onto them. The fight ends with electric slashing and a tornado blowing him up. Yellow passes out once the fight is over and day turns back to night. The episode ends with the Gingamen realizing how big Earth Power is and Yellow apologizing and telling Green not to lecture all the time. Next episode shows the Gingamen having their swords stolen, Red chained up, and the premier of the Kiba Blades.

Dreddredder: Powers include electricity absorbing body tentacles, a whip, levitation, and eye electric lasers

Episode 5:

On Daitanic Bucrates looks for something as Sambash throws a fit that electric power did not work. He soon finds a rusty sword called the Dark Sword which is one of the five great treasures of the galaxy. He tells Zahab it can crack a planet in half and drops it, shattering it to pieces. Sambash laughs and summons Bucter who Shelinda notes is a weapon obsessed freak. I bet /k/ would like him. Sambash has him remake the Dark Sword which Bucrates states is very difficult as it requires boiling 555 weapons in a furnace. Bucter notes his weapons are his own personal collection, but intends to get 555. Cut to- I'm just calling it Club from now on. At Club the Gingamen train with Bokk floating around. Red has flashbacks of training with his brother. A flashback has him realizing he needs to anticipate next moves before continuing to train. Bucter steals a cop's revolver while yartots collect knives which he finds as useless. Mokk tells the Gingamen what is going on while Bucter steals a submachine gun and proclaims Earth weapons are crap. The Gingamen show up to see injured construction workers and yartots attack only to receive the smack down. Bucter likes the SB Swords the Gingamen use and mentions their "partners". A submachine gun knocks them down so Bucter can steal them save for Red's which he aims for. Red fails to let go and is eventually dragged into the trench coat. At the club, Green tells Mokk what happened, but the ginga brace gives him no response. Insert first episode flashback here with the other brother falling in the fissure. Green asks about the "partners" and Mokk mentions they were taken 3000 years ago. These weapons are said to be powerful and are called Kiba Blades. At a warehouse Red is chained up as random weapons are melted into a giant furnace by yartots. He gives away the plan of the Barban while mocking Red with the SB Swords and Kuba Blades. Sambash shows up asking what the hell is going on and punches him. He then throws a fit of the SB Swords not being used and they are five weapons short, in fighting breaks out before said swords are taken. Red melts the chains and takes the swords himself. He runs out of the building and attempts to hide before using ropes to tie the swords together. Buctr shows up with a cannon to attack only to get flamed.

Mokk contacts Red and mentions he will take the Kiba Blades. Mokk is worried and Bucter and yartots look around for him. The Gingamen head out in a race against time. Bucter spots Red and Sambash throws a fit. He soon takes the swords back and hurls them into the furnace. Sambash demands the Dark Sword be formed, but nothing happens. The yartots confirmed they counted right. In Bucter's coat he spots the Kiba Fangs which he takes out. The Gingamen show up to take them just in time. Turns out a fake weapon switch happened off screen. SSambash beats Bucter for not saying they belonged to the Gingamen and Yellow uses lightning to destroy the furnace. Sambash rides off on his motorcycle while the Gingamen do intros before assaulting Bucter's garrison using their various weapons formed from the Kiba Blades. Boom! Wow those are nice colored smoke explosions. Red faces Bucter one on one after cutting his left arm, a single slash stunning him before the Kiba Blades form into the Raging Kiba Wheel or simply Wheel as I will call it from now on. Barba extract is drank from so Bucter can have revenge, the SBs are called in to fight with Red facing off against him. Bucter charges and mouth flames destroy him. Mokk is glad the Kiba Blades are back with Red thinking of his brother mentioning the enemy's next move. The episode ends with Red holding his Kiba Blade. Next episode shows the Gingamen and SBs being poisoned.

Bucter: Powers include arm stretching, dimensional trench coat, teleportation, a submachine gun a cannon, electric shocks, and a sword

Zootopia has critics by their leashes! Speaking of unique animals here is part 2!

Episode 6:

At Club Mokk tells the Gingamen not much is known about the Kiba Blades. Yuuta walks in asking if they want to camp with the SBs and even did preperations. Red agrees to it and they head out for the woods via inflatable rafts and rowing. Once on land the SBs appear and Yuuta reveals he brought some fruits (oranges?). Red asks about the Kiba Blades and they claim they are dangerous. Yuuta mentions he cannot understand them, but Blue says to try anyway. Silliness ensues before cutting to Daitanic where Zahab is considering of decapitating Sambash who vows to resurrect their demon beast. He mentions that the poison planet of Dela healed him whenever he was hurt so turning Earth into a similar world should help him. Tagredor is summoned and accidentally sprays everything with poison gas because of his recklessness. Sambash tells him to poison the planet. That night Green plays a flute while everyone is around a campfire as the SBs go to sleep. Their stars shine in the sky and Yuuta asks why they came to Earth. Red states they defend planets in the galaxy. Gingalion then gives Yuuta a sphere jewel before dosing off. He replies with a thanks. The next day Tagredor eats a public mailbox and Mokk telepathically tells the Gingamen to head out. Yartots give him various bricks to munch on. The Gingamen show up to exterminate the grunts followed by Tagredor getting up from sitting and poison blasting them in a comical way. They get sprayed along with Yuuta before jumping away. Yuuta shakes up and they take him back to Mokk's layer where he confirms there is no cure as the poison is special. They tell him to hang in there while Tagredor eats in a junk yard and a pair of yartots clean out his various holes. Sambash rolls by to throw a fit and kick him. Yuuta behins to turn pale while holding the SB jewel. Tagredor starts poisoning up the place and the Gingamen roll out.

Upon arrival Tagredor says he is now in top form. SB Swords are brought out, but they just get gassed and turn back into their civilian forms. After they pass out he eats more junk. Bokk lets Mokk know as the SBs head out to retrieve their warriors. The lens has a foggy filter, but since this is gas it works. Mokk states the poison might kill them too. Red suggests using the Kiba Blades as the SBs start to succumb to the fumes. Bokk gets scarred and Yuuta runs off to find the SBs who are suffering badly. He begs them not to die as they emit blue light before emitting gold light and turn to stone. The gold light nullifies Tagredor's poison and saves the humans affected. The Gingamen then find him as we see a shot of the SBs as solid stone. Red tells Tagredor he will pay and they transform with intros. Yartots jump in to get slaughtered by SB Swords and Kiba Blades. Tagredor tackles them and Red just throws him followed by flaming. The Raging Kiba Wheel takes him down until he just jumps off. Red curses the Barban while Yuuta sadly looks at the petrified SBs. The episode ends with Yuuta saying Gingalion called his name and Red comforting the crying boy as the narrator asks if they are truly doomed. Next episode shows Tagredor with a hammer and the premier of Gingaioh.

Tagredor: Powers include emitting poison gas from the mouth, metal and stone eating, high jumping, and a hammer

Episode 7:

After a recap of last episode Yuuta wakes up in his bed. His dad checks in on him to take care of him. He shows him some illustrations of the Gingamen and SBs. Yuuta wants him to go away for a bit as he looks at the jewel he was granted. The next day the Gingamen use Earth Power blasts which fail to do jack squat. Pink thinks it is hopeless before cutting to Daitanic where Sambash is happy he beat the SBs and Shelinda tells him to can it. Zahab reminds him of his mission to revive Daitanic. The captain then asks of the SBs can be used with Bucrates saying they could be broken down for medicinal purposes. Tagredor comes in with his brother Torbador. Zahab commands them to bust up the SBs while Red thinks about how to use the Kiba Blades' power. The beetle brothers attack with yartots. They transform and fight with Yuuta watching nearby. Tagredor tries smashing the SBs with a hammer with Red fending him off. Yuuta's jewel then zaps Red, knocking him and Tagredor off. Terbalu notices his brother's right arm is injured and calls a retreat. Yuuta reveals to the Gingamen it was the jewel. At Mokk's layer it is revealed that the jewel is a miniature star the SBs get their channel from. Their Earth Power could revive the SBs, maybe make them more powerful and born anew. For some reason Mokk is opposed to using them. Also absorbing stars would kill them. At Daitanic Bucrates tells the others the Gingamen will try to revive the SBs so Sambash has the brothers go out. The Gingamen and Mokk talk on forever about what to do. Bokk flies around to give the SBs fruit until Terbalu punts him. He and Tagredor attack the statues and the Gingamen head out with their Kiba Blades complete with transforming while running.

First time I heard the eyecatch say the title. The Gingamen do intros upon arrival and take out mooks. Terbalu manages to crack the statues with Red aiming to revive his SB using the star's power. He instead gets blasted. Bucrates realized he forgot they can use the SBs' energy to revive Daitanic. Yuuta tells Red to stop or he will bite the dust. Red asks him to believe in their power right now before attempting it again. The others soon join him on their SBs and Sambash stops the brothers to tell them their change of plans. The yartots bring in a treasure chest and satellite dish while the Earth Energy beams down. The Gingamen can barely take it and Mokk says they will fulfill the mission regardless of what they are told. Yuuta sees the attempted energy stealing so he rushes for the Barban and throws the jewel, causing the machine to bust to pieces. The SBs light up in white light, making them disappear. Sambash points his revolver at Yuuta until the SBs somehow return and roar. Sambash tells the brothers to send them to Hell so they both drink barba extract to become kaiju sized. Red reveals the SBs can become robots somehow and the others follow, now as Silver SBs. Also this is the first CGI combination sequence. The result is the mecha Gingaioh which was the result of the Kiba Fangs.... Meaning they were always robots. Tagredor heads in first, but the Silver Armor Sword, or SA Sword as I will call it from now on, uses the Galaxy King Beast Cut which destroys him. Also I will nickname it to the Cut from now on as well. Terbalu uses his horn cannon only for the SA Sword to turn into the Falcon Bowgun which fires an energy arrow called the Meteor Blast to blow him up too. The episode ends with Yuuta meeting up with the Gingamen. Next episode shows Yellow being beaten by some chef.

Terbalu: Only known power is a forehead horn with a cannon

Episode 8:

At the Club a cuisine is prepared by Blue when Pink walks in noting Yellow is gone. Blue takes off his apron and goes looking for him. Speaking of which, Yellow sees a ramen shop before seeing some guy steal a purse. He catches him and subdues him before being beaten up by a random woman. The victim clears it up as Yellow starts to cough. After that he walks around until he stops for lunch at a restaurant named Rongon. He likes the interior and the chef comes out to reveal she was the woman that assaulted him earlier. For some reason he stays and looks around until food is done which he finds really good. She asks for help before cutting to Daitanic where Zahab is not happy with Sambash and Shelinda points out that Gingaioh is now a thing. Zahab threatens to feed him to a shark when Sambash says Daitanic might wake up with good smelling food. Bucrates is under the assumption it could work and so Dolmar is summoned to find a chef. Meanwhile, Blue and Yuuta look around for Yellow who they find at Rongon. Apparently the chef is training him to cut lobster. Also knives matter more about timing than power. Blue walks in with Yuuta and silliness occurs. Dolmar raids a restaurant to find a decent chef but hates the food. This happens again at a sushi bar followed by a montage of places that end with a ramen stand. Blue and Yellow are told by Mokk of the attack in progress. Dolmar hates a shrimp cabob before the Gingamen show up. Blue and Yellow attack him in the air and Dolmar runs off upon realizing he has not eaten anything good in a week. The chef gets knocked over upon carrying lunches, Dolmar takes the food, and runs off. The Gingamen are also okay with citizens knowing their identities.

Blue tells Yuuta that Yellow's mom died when he was young so he never tasted her cooking which might be why he has a liking to the chef. He pops in to complain with the chef showing up soon after with her right arm broken. She feels down about not being able to cook good food for him before walking off. She then looks at a picture of a boy wishing she taught him to cook too. Later, Dolmar finishes the trays he stole and found the food delicious. At Mokk's lair the others make fun of Yellow for no reason while Dolmar tracks down the nameless chef who threatens him with a frying pan. That fails and kidnapping takes place as a pot is boiling. I also just realized this restaurant is supposed to be Italian. Yellow stops by and realizes the area was ransacked so he runs off. Dolmar gets zapped before he transforms to fight him. The others show up via jumping and do intros. Yatorts show up from nowhere only to fail hard while Yellow duels with Dolmar. This goes over badly so Green and Blue have to help him. The chef checks on Yellow to make sure he is okay and revealed she had a son about his age that was clumsy. Yellow reminds her of said son while the others are getting beaten up. The dueling continues, this time Dolmar just trips over and Yellow does rapid chopping like the chef which hurts him, ending with cutting the scalp. After that Dolmar chugs barba extract to become big while the Gingamen have their SBs summoned, jump on them, make them Silver SBs, and become Gingaioh after they do a weapon assault. Dolmar threatens to eat him only for the SA Sword to use the Cut followed by the Galcon Bowgun, or GB as I will call it from now on, to use the Meteor Blast, also shortened to blast for the sake of typing, to terminate him. The chef looks at the picture of her son hoping he will come home safe and offers Yellow further cooking training. The others laugh probably hoping Chef Ramsey will guest star. Next episode shows a little girl finding a pink cat and red stone that Pink has to protect.

Dolmar: Powers include high jumping, enhanced smelling, a back shell, a fork, and a mouth heat beam

Episode 9:

At Club Pink bakes a cake for Gingat. Since she is a girl she likes sweets true which not even Bokk can confirm (I guess he is a guy too). On Datanic Bucrates looks through a telescope while Sambash panics. A shooting star is sotted before cutting to a little girl making a wish upon said star which lands near Gingat. Mokk tells the Gingamen about it. That morning the little girl heads into the forest to find the fallen object when she hears meowing. Said meowing comes from a shrunken down Gingat she picks up. She also spots what the shooting star was, some sort of space ruby. Pink and the men cannot find her SB, but do hear meowing. She spots the girl running while Mokk tells the Gingamen that the forest temporarily does not have sacred power. Meanwhile, Sambash tells Zahab about the meteorite and thinks Daitanic can be revived with it while taking credit from Bucrates. Zahab wants this meteor and Sambash states Mandiger is on it. The girl tries taking care of Gingat while Mandiger tries looking for it- WHAT IS UP WITH YOUR TEETH!? He invades her home and she runs until Pink attacks Mandiger. She recognizes Gingat and takes her and the girl away while the men fight off Mandiger. Sword fighting ensues, Red being the only one to do well and even cuts Mandiger's blades, making him flee. Zahab is waiting for Sambash to get results. Mandiger shows up and shows his cut weapons. Sambash gives him a scythe and goes with him. The girl, Yuuko, and Pink talk about Gingat or "Mii" as her chibi form is called. It is soon discovered her mom died while her dad is in the countryside with her aunt looking after her. Sad music plays as we find out Yuuko had an actual cat named Mii that ran away from home and begs for Pink not to take this one away from her. The men point out they cannot fight the Barban without her. Red suggests Pink stay with her for a while. Mokk tells them the Barban are attacking.

Mandiger cuts up statues in Tokyo until the men attack him. Yartots show up and get taken out, Yellow notably resorting to shallow pool drown tactics. Sambash attacks Pink and Yuuko by busting through a chiment Skyrider style. Yartots appear outside to make things worse. Pink jumps and swings Tarzan style while Mandiger thrashes the men. Pink tells Yuuko about the Barban being bad once she asks and saying Gingat belongs to her. Sambash and his squad appear with Pink acting as bait. Sambash reveals he wants the meteorite and she transforms follwed by an intro. Mandiger also gives away the plan for no real reason other than PERIL! Yuuko understands Gingat wants to fight with Pink and gets an idea. Pink gets beaten up by Sambash until Yuuko shows up with the ruby and throws it. Sambash immediately runs after it until Pink shoots at it. Gingat returns to normal size and Pink jumps on top followed by thanking Yuuko. Red flames Mandiger and becomes slash happy, forcing the barban monster to drink barba extract to become a giant. Pink shows up and the men summon their SBs to go into Silver mode and become Gingaioh. I just noticed Mandiger has a bowtie. Anyway, Gingaioh uses the SA Sword, but Mandiger holds his own until he is tripped. Explosive pedals called the Silver Blossom from the right shoulder stun him and the GB fires the Blast to end the fight. Pink meets up with Yuuko to thank her and offers to hang out any time. A cat is heard and it turns out to be the real Mii as Yellow carries her with claw marks on his face. Red reveals Mokk found her and Yuuko thanks them to end the episode on a touching note. Next episode shows a woman with a flute Green seems to be interest in, yartots trying a band, and Shelinda attacking.

Mandiger: Powers include twin radar blades, high jumping, and a scythe that emits energy blasts

Episode 10:

Green practices his flute on a semi-windy day which the others notice. Yuuta comments on him playing well. Green wants to be alone when Red talks to him, mainly about breaking the rule of not going to the Galaxy Forest. Someone named Miharu gets name dropped before Mokk tells them of the Barban attacking. The area has a bunch of noise going on and it revealed to be yartots in a band lead by Sutoiji. The Gingamen get attacked by the loud noise which manages to reach Daitanic. Sambash tried to wake him up with loud noise. Shaking occurs which would indicate the demon beast is reviving. Due to the noise the Gingamen barely fight back. A flute is played, somehow canceling the noise- It is Green. Pink explains such flute skills cancel out evil noise. Shelinda is POed as the fighting continues until she throws a sword at Green's flute, slicing it in half. Telekinetic explosions knock him out and Red sends them packing. At Mokk's lair he tells the Gingamen what the Barban are doing. Since the flute was made from galaxy wood from their forest they cannot be made of the same material until Mokk points out similar trees are on Mount Iwafuki. Green says try it and is barely able to stand up before running off with Red following. Blue tells Yuuta Green and Miharu were fiances and that they were supposed to get married this day years ago. In a flashback we see Miharu seeing Red and Green train, after which her fiance listens to her flute music which her grandmother taught her. She gives the flute to Green so he can play it. Once the flashback is over Red help Green reach a tree. Meanwhile, Sutoiji plays Night on Bald Mountain using nose so loud that building glass shatters. The others show up to fight followed by Sambash. Green makes a new flute just in time, but he and Red get attacked by Shelinda and a squad of yartots. Both soon fall into a river off a cliff.

Daitanic shakes while Red and Green hide from Shelinda when the latter gets an idea. The others suffer badly with noise and Sambash shooting them. Red and Green split up after talking, the latter playing the flute which Shelinda hears. Because of the mountainous area causing echos she cannot locate it. She instead plays a seashell and somehow finds it. She spots Green, but it turns out to be Red. Green does flute playing which cancels out Sutoiji's music. Shelinda shocks Red via her rapier while the others attack Sutoiji, Yellow using lightning to break his sword. Shelinda and Green duel once he transforms using swords. With only one slice each, Shelinda is cut and uses telekinetic explosions before teleporting away. The others handle Sutoiji until Red and Green show up to use the Raging Kiba Wheel. Sambash runs off while Sutoiji becomes big from barba extract and the SBs are summoned to go silver and combine into Gingaioh. Sutoiji uses his super noise, but Gingaioh uses a flame breath attack called the Silver Blaze followed by the SA Sword using the Cut followed by the GB using the Blast to make him explode. Shelinda laments over her new scar and the episode ends with a feast with Green playing his new flute while remembering Miharu. Next episode shows Blue at Yuuta's school and burning wreckage.

Episode 11:

Zahab's patience has reached its end with Sambach who wants one last chance despite Selinda telling him to stop. He begs and Zahab allows it on the condition that the ocean will be his grave is he fails. Neika is summoned to help him. At Club Red talks with Yuuta's dad about school as the Gingamen groom their horses. He wants Red to record the event and Yellow and Pink also seem to want to for some reason. At Watakate Elementary the kids prepare for class with Blue showing up to Yuuta's class to record. This embarrasses him since he busted the door down. The teacher walks in and helps Blue put it back in. You can tell by sound effects and violin music cupid struck an arrow. Blue records what is going on and accidentally answers that he hates math. He is told by Mokk of a Barban attack and he heads out the window. Everyone finds it impressive while Neika uses Quake Needles that head underground while yartots go after the Gingamen upon arrival complete with intros. Blue duels with him, forcing Neika to fly off. Blue runs off for Parent's Day and Yellow finds it odd. Class is over just as Blue gets back, but Yuuta states he got the rest. Sambash walks onto Daitanic and is told by Shelinda and Bucrates he is a joke. He retorts that his plan is coming to fruition. At Club, Bokk and the Gingamen wait for food and we find out Blue burnt the pancakes. Red bites in and it was too hot. Yuuta's dad gets POed that he was filming Ms. Suzuko, the teacher, instead of Yuuta. He hears her name, drops a bottle, and gets lovey dovey. At a park he spots Ms. Suzuko on a bench crying and gets embarrassed once Blue sees her. During this Yellow and Pink make a bet Blue won't get along with her and sure enough they do get along. Talking ensues, mother issues was the reason of the sobbing, until the ground starts popping. The Quake Needles start popping up like zits as they form mounds which the yartots slash to caused quakes.

The Gingamen show up just as destruction starts. Neika reveals the Quake Needles act as pressure points. They transform while it is revealed Sambash is trying to revive Daitanic via earthquakes. He holds some sort of key while looking out the window. Neika goes after a cliff to create a fissure, opening up a cave. Blue tries protecting Ms. Suzuko during this. She sees one of her future husband named Hiroshi in a crushed car, Blue notes a falling electric tower. He manages to save him in time before the tower fell and dodges a gas explosion. He says goodbye to her and runs off while transforming. Neika nearly stabs Red in the throat with his Rapier until Blue shows up to stop him. Throws and a SB Sword assault forces him to grow from barba extract. SB summoning ensues with Gingorilla going in wrestler style with Blue jumping on to assist. The others do the same with their SBs to make them go silver and form Gingaioh. Neika needle spams only for the GB to fire the Blast, ending the fight. At Club, Blue feels super down and Yellow acts like a jerk. Yuuta comes by to say that the Hiroshi guy was the future husband of her sister and got a thank you cake for her. He starts munching in and the episode ends with Yellow wanting some while Sambash finds a wood pole uncovered during the fight, allowing him to use his key. next episode shows the return of Red's brother and Sambash in combat.

Neika: Powers include spewing Quake Needles, a rapier, and flight

Episode 12:

Sambash is surrounded by yartots, Zahab saying he blew it and Shelinda allows him to choose his execution. Sambash wounds the yartots out of desperation although he denies it as he vows Daitanic's revival. Budoh tells one of his minions, Komuhachi, to keep an eye on Sambash before slicing a flower for no reason. Sambash heads to the uncovered cave and fires at it with his revolver to no avail. He uses his motorcycle to drag a coffin only for the Gingamen to get in his way. He shoots the coffin open which stores Red's brother. Apparently he was in an underground cave since the first episode. Yartots keep them at bay as he rides off. Mokk summons them back, saying they must be up to something. The Gingamen get emotional before running off, Green assuring Mokk they will be fine. At a rocky coast they see Sambash and his squad waiting around while Red's brother is chained up. They soon pop out to attack and transform. During the fighting Red cuts the chains and manages to wake him up after being dragged on a bike did not accomplish that somehow. After the tearful reunion the brother states they must head for the cliff while hiding from yartots. In the hidden cave is a power called Galactic Light, apparently that is what Sambash is trying to get for Daitanic. Grunts find them and they have to flee after taking a few out. The brother reveals he has no more earth power since he used it all to defend himself from lava. He holds off the yartots so Red can find the Galactic Light. Mokk tells Bokk that the Galactic Light is one of the most powerful powers in the galaxy. Red finds the wood pole and flames it, revealing the cave which he runs into, finding the Galactic Light behind an old lock and iron bar door. He opens the glowing chest which has a tiny chest in it. After that his brother SOMEHOW SHOWS UP AND SLASHES HIM! He takes the Galactic Light for himself and walks away.

The Gingamen handle the mooks while not-brother announces he has the Galactic Light. Also he was a Barban Monster named Gurinji. Red shows up before Gurongi can throw the box. Yellow manages to take it while Red fights Gurinji after transforming. However, he starts losing after Gurinji uses burrowing to outmaneuver him. Eventually he strikes back while the others fall to Sambash. He takes the Galactic Light for Daitanic. Sambash and Gurinji fire upon them, but the Gingamen just using the Raging Kiba Wheel. Gurinji chugs barba extract to become big followed by the SBs becoming silver for Gingaioh to be formed. Red fights Sambash one on one during this, the latter revolver spamming which does little. Red goes slash happy just before being shot. The two collapse while the GB fires the Blast to blow Gurinji up. Sambash uses his key to open the Galactic Light which is not present. He starts laughing because he killed the guy the said where it would be. Apparently it was an elaborate hoax as jumps on his motorcycle, guns at Red, and gets slashed by him before exploding off a cliff. Komuhachi sees this and the episode ends with the Gingamen feeling dumb for being duped so easily. Next episode shows Mokk being webbed up and the premier of the Beast Strikers.

Gurinji: Powers include a human disguise, burrowing, a broadsword, and hand lasers
Sambash: Powers include teleportation, a flying motorcycle with a cannon, a revolver, and high jumping

Episode 13:

Three monks play flutes while Budoh briefly does sword practice. The other generals laugh at Sambash dying and want to take his place. Zahab tells them to can it and reminds them failure is death. Budoh walks in spouting on about how he has useful information on the Galactic Light. Zahab is angry Sambash kept it a secret while Budoh has his men looking for it. Bucrates points out that because it is energy it could be anywhere. Budoh has a scroll with locations and Zahab grants him the position of field commander. By his sword, Girasame, he swears on doing well. Cut to the Club where Mokk tells the Gingamen about the Galactic Light bestowing power and could end Earth. Red sulks during the speech until Blue talks to him. Mokk tells Red he has only himself to blame for his weakness so he just gets over it and runs off. The others say he was mean when Mokk points out they must be warriors, especially with a planet at stake. Red looks at Tokyo Bay while thinking to himself. The flute monks come by with fog and Red goes after them before they loose him. Also they were Komuhachi and a pair of yartots. The others talk about Red hoping he will be fine. Budoh uses this time to do colligraphy. The scroll Budoh has reveals it is rooted in something while Shelinda and Zahab demand he get off his butt. Budoh replies that bamboo flutes might lead to the Galactic Light. Red comes back to Club just as Mokk summons them. Mokk is revealed to be webbed up by the Barban which is actually mold that will destroy all trees on Earth in mere hours.... From Japan.... Ugh. Red remembers the monk disguises and Mokk spots them, revealing they were after the Galactic Light. He tells them to be cautious and that he cannon finish a new weapon for them. The Gingamen tell him he is part of them before heading out. He also apologizes to Red before he runs out.

The Gingamen face Komuhachi and his two yartots followed by an entire squad showing up. The Gingamen transform and do intros before slaughtering the grunts. Red fights Komuhachi and fails. The Kiba Blades come out to use the Kiba Wheel only for it to get cut in half. Komuhachi moves really fast to perform a Dance of Illusions. Mokk says he might die soon, but is making new weapons for them. Bokk is told to leave while Mokk concentrates. From his tree top falls five seeds that Bokk must give to the Gingamen. Komuhachi sees the Galactic Light in a tree while Bokk gives Red the seeds. Bokk also reveald that light was a fake while the Gingamen break the seeds, revealing their new beast strikers. The mooks go down and Red duels with Komuhachi, this time easily beating him. Mokk tells them to put thier beast strikers together which form the beast blasters which are basically bazookas. Komuhachi curses the Gingamen and drinks barba extract to become kaiju sized. The SBs are called to go silver and become Gingaioh. Sowrd play ensues until the Cut and Blast ends Komuhachi. The mold dies, restoring the trees, and Budoh thanks his minion for his services. The episode ends with Mokk alive and the Gingamen thanking him as he says thanks back along with Bokk wanting credit. Next episode shows Pink in a movie role and being cursed.

Komuhachi: Powers include a human disguise, a bamboo flute that emits tree killing mold and hides a katana, speed, and a cannon

Epispde 14:

At Club Pink beats up Blue during training. The others show up with a magazine noting some supermodel looks just like her named Misaki Hoshino. Green notes that she has a mole under her right eye. After that we see this model riding around with flowers in her car and is denied skipping work because they have to shoot a movie. She wants a break and her manager refuses. Cut to Daitanic where Zahab wants to know the next plan to which Budoh replies that the scroll reads it could be in a copied image. Bucrates thinks it relates to cameras. After that Futasoushou is sent out and uses seals to blow up cameras of a golf celebrity, finding no Galactic Light. The Gingamen head out while Misaki does a photo shoot. Futasoushou shows up to her shoot to bust a camera and fights the Gingamen. Pink is injured by a seal while Futasoushou walks off. Misaki uses this chance to fake a leg spraining. Yellow identifies her and Pink says sorry. The manager notes how similar Pink looks and asks her to fill in for a while. She will do it despite Red pointing out the Barban are on the loose. Mokk has the men pursue Futasoushou while Pink does a movie role. Misaki reads a magazine in the meantime. Come stage time she causes antics which should have been preventable if she or the manager told her what to do. Also cake in the face.

During an outdoor scene Pink has a crippling feeling in her leg likely caused by the seal. Turns out it is as Misaki is concerned for Pink's safety. A shoot is done shortly after that and notably Pink is wanning. Don't you love directors that don't care for their actors? Eventually the shoot is done correctly, just in time as Futasoushou destroys the camera. Pink transforms and fights with her leg still wounded. Futasoushou reveals he can increase the pain before the men show up to send him running. Misaki runs over to help Pink out, revealing she was faking the sprain. Pink walks on while the men are beaten to a pulp before she shows up to join the pounding. She grabs some dirt as Futasoushou is about to strike only for ANOTHER PINK TO SHOOT AT HIM! And it was the real one! Misaki just faked the role- HOW DID SHE FAKE THE COSTUME!? Intros are done after that as are yartots going down- Oh hey a new insert song. Pink and Futasoushou duel properly, this time the former winning by jumping and clawing followed by slashes. The beast blasters are used on Futasoushou, making him use barba extract to become a giant- Oh hey, he got it from a gord rather than a glass bottle. The SBs are summoned, go silver, and Gingaioh is brought in upon combination occurring. Pink taunts him and Futasoushou gets trashed with the Blast blowing him to pieces. Budoh says his death will be avenged. The episode ends with Misaki doing an interview wanting to try harder with Pink enjoying it as she gives Red a headlock for no reason. Next episode shows Yellow with hiccups and yartots on a bus.

Futasoushou: Powers include explosive seals, telekinetic explosions, binding seals, and a spear that fires energy blasts

Episode 15:

At Club the Gingamen enjoy their day off work when Green comes in saying Yuuta's dad needs something. Yellow fakes a cold and Red tries acting it too. On Daitanic Budoh uses his scroll to look for something sleeping deeply. This makes him conclude the Galactic Light is in an old artifact. He sends his thief, Kemuemon, to look for it who is so clumsy he falls off a building. After that he uses a pipe to analyze various artifacts. On a TV he discovers a scientist that found some sort of explosive artifact from three thousand years ago. Kemuemon pays him a visit and he runs off. Cut to the Gingamen mostly working while Red and Yellow bicker about taking medicine. The others are locked in a room during furniture moving while Yuuta and his dad serch in a box with dozens of keys. Red and Yellow encounter the fleeing scientist and Kemuemon so they transform. However, one of his bombs hurts him so he teleports away, allowing the scientist to run off. Red opens hi medicine container and forces one into Yellow's mouth. The scientist encounters Kemuemon in a parking garage, this time being knocked out. Inside is a bunch of cold medicine tabs and after analyzing he heads off. Yellow is taken to Mokk's mirror to see what is wrong with him, apparently he swalloed an old Barban mini bomb. Red remembers the scientist they encountered. Mokk reveals that is Yellow hiccups a hundred times he will explode, Red is told to take him to a special waterfall to clean it out and that violent movement could make him explode. The scientist finds them at Club and Red explains what is going on. He offers to take them in his car which he accelerates. Red asks if he could drive more gently when Kemuemon spots them and throws bombs. Yellow hiccups harder to add thrills.

The car crashes and the scientist gets a kindergarten bus to stop for them. Red and Yellow hesitate, but still take it. The driver is revealed to be Kemuemon and the kids are yartots in disguise. Red and the scientist jump out with Yellow following and the bus crashing behind a cliff. It is soon discovered that an important bridge was taken down due to deterioration. Red spots a glider and suggests gliding USING THE CLOTHES OF THE SCIENTIST AND VINES. Yellow confesses to lying about his cold and Kemuemon bombs their kite. They reach the falls which are blocked by yartots lead by Kemuemon. Yellow reveals he swallowed the bomb Kemuemon mistakes for treasure. Red fends the Barban off while Yellow makes a run for it. Insert slow motion running here. He makes it just in time and jumps out. The others show up to help complete with a pose and using the beast strikers to take out yartots. Red and Yellow double team on Kemuemon followed by using beast blasters, forcing him to become big using barba extract from a gord. The SBs show up to go silver and combine into Gingaioh. The SA Sword slashes up Kemuemon and bats a pipe bomb at him until the fight ends with the Blast. Budoh thanks his minion. The episode ends with Yellow eating ramen, the scientist being told his treasure bomb is gone, and him sneezing off ramen. Next episode shows a horse rider Green teams up with.

Kemuemon: Powers include an energy detecting pipe, teleportation, head needles, and pipe bombs
=================================================
Not counting eps 13 onward, mostly. If I did I will mention that Green needs an episode and Red has two too many. Other than that wow, this series is off to a nice start. The villains are quite cut throat, Mokk makes as a solid mentor thus far, world building is coming along well, the stakes and motives are reasonable, the music is fine, and there is plenty of action! Now if only the comedy was better. No joke, it is actually a solid series thus far and can go places on this course. Bokk, Yuuta, and Yuuta's dad as side characters are okay, they have not done anything particularly wrong at as of yet.

Episode 16:

At Club Yellow cleans and eats until some old guy scolds him for doing both at once. He sees the Gingamen training and proceeds to whine. Yuuta tells his dad and Green about the old man who proceeds to give a big speech about how young people are unreliable. Yuuta's dad- Oh hey his name is Aoyama! The old guy wants the stables entirely cleaned and at this point I am guessing he is a horse expert. Green says they will fix things before the Gingamen are fired. Bokk says it is awful and Mokk is considering leaving too. Cut to Daitanic where Amehoshi plays flat guitar saying preparations are done. Budoh explains to Shelinda the scroll says to look within what is likely the ground. Bucrates says it is not impossible with Zahab wondering how to extract it. Budoh intends to use a rain of evil. At Club the Gingamen bicker before cleaning with Yuuta wondering if they will be fired- Wait weren't they? Amehoshi and some yartots do a worship ritual to summon evil clouds from a rooftop. Red goofs off with white paint while Yellow acts too tough on his horse. After that he frames Pink for not cleaning a cigarette butt. Yellow and Yuuta plot something in private while the rain of evil continues in Tokyo. Budoh tells Shelinda this rain will dissolve the ground while offering tea she declines. It starts raining at Club when Green gets a call from Aoyama about the supposed owner's dad (the old guy). Speaking of whom he made lunch for the Gingamen with honey and biscuits. Yellow throws a fit since most of it is for Green who take a bite and passes out. Mokk tells the Gingamen about the abnormality of the rain and run off. The old man is annoyed they cannot work now.

The spell continues and Amehoshi causes a fault with his flat guitar. Mokk tells them about the ground dissolving from the inside. They spot the rain source and fight off yartots with the old man walking into it. Green tries saving him, but a musket shot prevents them from going far. He takes out the rest of the grunts and it is here where he reveals the old man is not the owner's dad. The others fight their way to the top while we find out old guy was the previous owner of Club and wanted to visit it again. Seeing the Gingamen having fun gave him a bad feeling and Green replies that they lost their home too so he can relate to the pain. Insert moral about home being out there here. Also Green had a bad memory of nearly being stung to death when getting honey once which is what caused the pass out. Green attempts to join with the others when Shelinda attacks him one on one while the others face Amehoshi and his squad. In both battles the Gingamen transform, Amehoshi holding his own rather well while Shelinda uses energy ropes from the hands to throw Green around. Old guy tries helping him out only for explosive flashes to knock him down. Amehoshi is soon knocked off the roof and tries rupturing the ground with his guitar only for beast blasters to get him. He chugs barba extract to make him grow followed by the SBs being summoned to go silver and turn into Gingaioh upon combination after Green lands a hit. The GB ends the fight with the Blast and Budoh states Amehoshi's services will not be forgotten. Back at Club the old man is sorry for the lies and walks off. The episode ends with Green learning a lesson about home and Yellow makes him pass out with a jar of honey for kicks. Next episode shows a disaster area, Yuuta finding mind controlled people, Budoh facing the Gingamen, and a figure in black wearing a cape.

Amehoshi: Powers include summoning evil rain and a flat guitar with a gun

Episode 17:

At Club Bokk wonders where Red is when Blue tells him he is helping Yuuta at Mount Arashi. Suppsodely for homework, but they are stick fighting. Yuuta then acts grumpy because he is no warrior and cannot use Earth Power. Red replies that warriors are made of courage, not power. On Daitanic Shelinda gets anxious and demands Budoh do something, Zahab even pointing this out. Budoh asks for forgiveness as he searches for the Galactic Light. His scroll indicates skyscrapers so he suggests destroying those. Five people dressed in black are shown to originate from a cave where Kugutsudayu uses a gear to turn dummies into humans and eventually makes a small town worth of people that give off gear noises. One dressed as a school girl suicide bombs a skyscraper followed by some guy that looks like he belongs in The Returner. Mokk tells the Gingamen to head to the city. Red sees one of these dummies fall and get impaled by a tree branch only to continue walking. Mokk warns it is an exploding robot and runs, but it is too late. He appears knocked out and Mokk tells Yuuta Barban must be behind it so he must hide, but he heads down to check on him. Bokk notes a bunch of them are in the city (how would he know?). He tells the Gingamen they can spot the spots via lack of breath. Yuuta reaches the bottom of the cliff with a torn shirt and finds the manufacturing cave Kugutsudayu disguises his dummies in. He gets discovered and yartots are sent after him. They have Yuuta surrounded in a pond where he uses a stick to combat them. Red shows up after he lands in the mud upon his first charge. Once the yartots lose them Yuuta hugs Red and loses confidence in being a warrior. Red tells him that as a kid he tried saving a rabbit that fell down a hole only to fall in himself. As night fell he eventually climbed out and saved the rabbit, but tripped and fell in himself. His brother showed up to lift him out. He then points out Yuuta tried saving him before his wounds start aching, but insists on stopping the kamikaze attack. He reveals he is scared, but will fight on anyway.

Mokk tells the Gingamen hand twisting activates the bombs so they take them out with chest hitting- Oh hey, Green has a pony tail. Budoh shows up with yartots to fight them once they transform. More dummies explode while Red reaches Kugutsudayu so they can fight one on one. Yuuta destroys the machine with the Kiba Blade. Meanwhile, the others get their rears handed to them by Budoh's sheer skills. Red also barely holds his own until he summons literal fire power. Kugutsudayu tells his children to take care of Red who is too weak to continue. Yuuta finishes the machine slicing- No, wait, half way. Dummies show up in an attempt to destroy them, Red telling Yuuta to run while he holds them off complete with a random iron bar wall. They explode, destroying the rest of the machines which turn the dummies back to normal. Kugutsudayu reaches Budoh and begs forgiveness for his failure. He then drinks barba extract to become giant sized followed by the others summoning their SBs. They use their elemental powers to take Kugutsudayu down one by one, ending with him blowing to pieces as Budoh thanks him for his services. The others head to the cave where they find Yuuta passed out. Once he wakes up a shadowy figure walks out of the fog carrying Red who is unconscious. The episode ends with the narrator asking who this mysterious warrior is. Next episode shows more of the mystery warrior who fights both the Barban and lifts his sword at the Gingamen.

Kugutsudayu: Powers include a gear on the right index finger that gives dummies human disguises, and a circular saw

Episode 18:

After a recap of last episode, the black figure calls himself Bull Black before jumping away to another mountain. At Club Red is patched up with Mokk wondering who Black Bull is or BB as I will nickname him from now on. Yellow states they should not let their guard down and Green agrees with him for once despite Blue not. Red mentions his brother while whispering. Cut to Daitanic where Budoh's scroll gives him the idea the Galactic Light might be in something Bucrates mistakes as a diamond. After his intellect is insulted he states he prefers Sambash more. Kairikibo is summoned and reveals it might be an Oni Stone from Saru Shrine due to it being hard. Shelinda calls Budoh arrogant once he leaves when Zahab states he is loyal and they should let him do his plan. At Saru Shrine some scientists are granted the Oni Stone and place it in multiple suitcases under lock and key for research. Red wonders if BB was his brother and ends up spilling soup. Pink notices he is deep in thought. Meanwhile, BB stops the truck with the Oni Stone and takes it from the scientists. The Gingamen show up a minute later (wow they are fast) and transform. Blue gets thrown and BB declares no mercy will be given. Kairikibo and his squad take the Oni Stone case and run. BB shoves Red and jumps off. Kairikibo uses a hammer on the Oni Stone only for it to break. Mokk tells the Gingamen the rock might have the Galactic Light if both sides are after it. Yellow thinks BB saved Red to trick them and he walks out. Pink follows Red and reveals she knows what he is thinking. It is hard to believe his brother is deadeven after what happened in the first episode. Insert training together and dancing flashbacks here. Convictions happened because gut feelings followed by wondering why he is looking for the Galactic Light.

Yartots hand out fliers- Oh hey, flying jolly rogers. Mokk points out these are a letter of challenges located in Hell Valley. They head off to fight Kairikibo and his squad before transforming. The mooks get slaughtered while Red fights Kairikibo and gets mouth beamed hard. Beast blasters are used which the Oni Stone reflects, but gets burned. Kairikibo then charges at them, slashing with his naginata and laughing. He stomps on Red's head before a knife is thrown at his hand, the source being BB walking onto the field. BB reveals that he is no ally of the Gingamen, but just dislikes the Barban. The remaining yartots get slashed up, Red noting that is not how his brother would use a sword. BB does some shooting and reveals he brought the Galactic Light to Earth three thousand years ago. After that he uses his sword to cut up Kairikibo and the Oni Stone. After partially exploding, Kairikibo consumes barba extract to grow kaiju sized. The SBs are summoned, go silver, and become Gingaioh. The SA Sword holds off Kairikibo long enough for the GB to use the Blast to blow him to pieces. The Gingamen head down to confront BB who does confirm he came to Earth three millennia ago, released the Galactic Light, was murdered by Sambash, and was now able to revive somehow. He will retrieve the Galactic Light and walks off. Next episode shows a child being held hostage, the revelation of what happened to BB's planet, and the premier of Bull Taurus.

Kairikibo: Powers include a naginata, a mouth heat beam, and a hammer

Episode 19:

Zahab mentions they might have seen BB. In a flashback Daitanic uses a Godzilla roar as the Barban attack a planet to loot its treasure, one of the last natives being BB. An SB named Gotaurus is sent out when BB's little brother, Kratz, is held hostage to make the SB back off. Sambash's monsters go after BB to beat him up. Kratz pulls out a knife to defend himself only for Zahab to cut him in half, killing the child. BB shows sadness ever since and in the present day wants Gotaurus to come to Earth. Bucrates calls him worse than the Gingamen and proposes switching field commanders. Zahab disagrees, but notes his mood can change at any time. Budoh says he will now resort to his four generals and stats the scroll might be in something like the sun. A sun statue then gets attacked by yartots lead by Sunabakuto. BB shows up, slays a grunt, and Mokk tells the Gingamen to roll out. Red says to help BB since the Barban are their enemies. Beast blasters are fired only to be sliced up followed by Sunabakuto using his Sand Cannon. BB fires at him shotgun style and Red stops him because civilians are in a tunnel nearby. Green and Blue try stopping him too and that flunks. After Sunabakuto blows up a sun statue he teleports off with the Gingamen helping hurt civilians while Red and Yellow tell off BB. He replies that he is trying to avenge his planet and little brother before walking off- Wow did they really give up? A fire ball comes from the sky and BB walks to it.

Yellow cleans himself with a hose at Club while Red has flashbacks of the previous two episodes. Blue points out they would not fight the way BB does. Red thinks he is too angry to think (wow does he hide it well) before Mokk tells them of a twin sun statue of the one just destroyed. They show up just in time to save preschoolers and transform followed by beating up yartots. BB shows upto duel with Sunabakuto and beats the tar out of him. A preschooler is held hostage, causing BB to have a flashback and remember he was the monster that killed Kratz. He states hostages mean nothing to him, only Barban's destruction. The Gingamen plea for him to stop. Red charges at him and gets Sand Cannon blasts. Green shoots from the back and manages to save the preschooler. BB then gets sliced up from his sword when unarmed until Red throws his sword to give it to him. With one slice Sunabakuto becomes hurt and uses his sand bag to destroy the statue, revealing for it to be empty. Barba extract is drank to cause him to grow. The SBs are summoned in silver mode and Gingaioh forms, slicing up with the SA Sword even when Sunabakuto briefly gets the upper hand. The GB is about to be used until a Sand Cannon blast knocks out Gingaioh and causes the SBs to become heavily damaged. An earthquake occurs from a fault that opens like a ribcage. Out of it comes a new SB named Gotaurus. He fires a beam to make BB grow giant sized and ride the SB rodeo style. I can see the remote controll toys now. Both Gotaurus and Sunabakuto have a push contest until BB uses his twin Bull Swords to slash at him. Red and Pink distract Sunabakuto with their Kiba Blades firing, aiding BB. Gotaurus then charges his horns up, flips Sunabakuto, causes a small mountain to grow, and turns into a humanoid suit of armor BB wears named Bul Taurus. Gotta admit I like the insert track. The Twin Bull Sword uses a spin attack called the Wild Bull Cutter to end the fight. The episode ends with the Gingamen proposing to help BB only for him to reject and call them idiots, proclaiming he will have the Galactic Light to beat the Barban. Next episode shows the Gingamen being weakened and Red fighting BB.

Sunabakuto: Powers include a cutlass that fires energy blasts, a bag with exploding sand called the Sand Cannon, and teleportation

Episode 20:

At Club we see Aoyama wanting an interview today while Red and Yuuta practice sword training and talking about what happened to BB. Red thinks BB is all alone after what happened and relates since their home is lost too. Aoyama is bummed he has not met him when Blue announces lunch is ready. Everyone munches down minus Bokk because his animatronics will not let him. Cut to Bucrates stating he found a new location for the Galactic Light on something other than Budoh's scroll. Budoh finds this unamusing and will still use the scroll which he suspects is in an organism so he proposes wiping out all life using one of his generals. That night we see Hyoudogasa on a rooftop throwing a jelly fish that rains icicles on the city. Meanwhile, Aoyama shows Yuuta his drawing only for them to feel cold from the icicles. Throughout Tokyo this happens to various people and a cat. Mokk sends the Gingamen out into the night where they find passed out people and cat. They then spot the flying jellyfish and chase after it. Hyoudogasa makes himself known and sends yartots on them. Red duels with Hyoudogasa only to get slashed up himself. After that they all get hit with needle icicles and Hyoudogasa jumps off. Everyone except for Red feels immensely cold with BB watching before walking away. In Mokk's lair the Gingamen feel lethargic and the wise tree mentions the needles can pass through anything. Red is told his fire powers likely saved him although everyone else will die of a low body temperature if this continues. On Daitanic Bucrates throws a fit on how Budoh humiliated him earlier and talks to Iris in the shadows. The next morning the others are given blankets and Mokk says they will only last until sunset an reveals he himself was affected as well. Red swears to save them before running into the street with lots of cars and people in them. He spots a jellyfish and follows it. BB throws a knife at him, stating he cannot stop the Barban until he gets the Galactic Light and that some sacrifices are inevitable. Red transforms while Bucrates and Iris watch Budoh from afar, the latter mentioning BB. Red is told by BB he is weak as the two duel, the former saving a passed out cat. BB then just walks off until Red calls him out. Suddenly a bright light appears and Hyoudogasa rides his horse over to it. Red threatens to destroy BB if he interferes.

Hyoudogasa catches the light which dissipates followed by Red showing up so they can sword fight on horses. They soon fight on foot, both seemingly even matched until Hyoudogasa throws his cape over Red to blind him. After some slashing Red is barely able to stand, thinking of everyone at stake. Hyoudogasa wonders if he gave up and sheaths his katana before charging at him and unsheathing. With one strike Red dodges and cuts him. BB jumps in once Hyoudogasa collapses. He then drinks barba extract to become big, having Red summon is SB. The icicle needles now act as grenades before Gingalion uses a jump attack. However, he starts losing so BB summons Gotaurus. BB grows too and kicks Hyoudogasa off Gingalion so he can do sword fighting too. Red has Gingalion go silver to emit more fire and BB and Gotaurus become Bull Taurus or BT as I will call the armor from now on. BT uses the Wild Bull Cutter to cause Hyoudogasa to explode. Bucrates thinks Budoh deserves to have his minion died and we find out Iris is his niece as they agree on a deal. At Mokk's lair the others wake up. At sunset BB tells Red is idealism will not stop the Barban as he walks off. Next episode shows the return of Misaki, Blue running, and Green holding a tomato.

Episode 21:

A bus riding down the coast has the Gingamen and Yuuta in it with Blue asleep. This is because Mokk is encouraging them to rest up. Green notes that Blue has been up late at night recently to explain his sleepiness. Yellow thinks he is writing love laters as a joke and they all use markers to draw Blue's face. At the beach they encounter Misaka who Blue is excited to see. Why? It happens to be summer vacation. Everyone laughs at Blue's marked face save for Green as they have fun doing beach related silliness. After that grilling from Blue and Misaki except for Green who tries hard looking away. Misaki tries giving him the last tomato and he ignores it in favor of a random puppy which he feeds the vegetable to (in reality he shoved it down his trunks). Misaki reveals she brough more so Green just walks off. Cut to Daitanic where Bucrates points out Budoh's failures when he just replies he will send his third in four generals. His scroll reveals it might be in round red food as read by Shelinda. During this the others spy on Blue trying to confess his love for Misaki and blows it by saying tomatoes instead. She agrees even though she loathed them as a kid. Mokk informs them of a Barban attack and we see Houretsudo attack the beach with his machine gun staff. Green charges forward only to get a cannon blast to the face, making him fly into the water. As Green recovers after the fight the others ask Mokk what the hell to do since this could be their most powerful fight yet. They bring up mystical fruits called whitewind fruit which only grows in the Galaxy Forest. Mokk brings up tomatoes have identical nutrients and should work, Yellow gives one to Green and insert horror music here. Yellow tells him not to be picky especially considering how uptight he is. Mokk then informs them BB is around and the others head off although Blue is reluctant. BB attacks a tomato truck- WAIT HOW THE HELL DOES HE KNOW WHAT BUDOH IS AFTER!? They even bring this up seconds later, Budoh mentions BB has caught on to what they are doing! The two decide to have a duel complete with background orchestral music that sounds like it is from Spain. The others show up to see them sword fighting when BB gets a pain in his chest that makes him open. Red saves him via Kiba Blade shot when Mokk tells them Houretsudo is attacking somewhere else.

Houretsudo and a squad of yartots attack an outdoor tomato market when the Gingamen including Green show up. Mokk tells the others Green has not recovered as he wades through grunts like toilet paper. Houretsudo fights him one on one and easily beats him before running off. The others go off although Green and Blue have a moment with the latter feeling bad about making him eat tomatoes to the point of crying, revealing he used them a lot in other foods. The secret cooking is why he has been up so late the past few nights. In other words he tried to do that to help him. Houretsudo destroys a tomato field and the others get gunned down following it. Blue asks Misaki her tomato recipe and she reveals there is none. The others fight Houretsudo with swords in the meantime. Blue and Misaki tell Green that just eating tomatoes will cure his hatred as the former runs to a mountain to find some. Houretsudo runs away from the others with Green showing up to attack. Blue picks a tomato and fights off random yartots. Houretsudo takes the others down, Green blaming himself for being picky. Blue runs toward the battle and Houretsudo thinks the Galactic Light is in it. Green catches it and the others defend him so he can eat it. Insert stare drama here before the munching. He thinks it is good as Blue finishes the mooks and Houretsudo continues his assault while disappointed the Galactic Light is nowhere. Green charges in real fast with green screen effects to slice up Houretsudo before whirlwind spamming and the Gingamen firing their beast blasters. Houretsudo drinks barba extract for kaiju sized fighting, the SBs are summoned to go silver, and Gingaioh is formed via combining. Gingaioh punches up Houretsudo until the GB uses the Blast to terminate him. The episode ends with Green thanking everyone during a walk on the beach, Blue revealing it was a normal tomato, and Green eating another from Misaki's bag. Next episode shows an invisible barrier placed around the city with Yellow and Pink trapped inside.

Houretsudo: Only known power is a staff with a machine gun and cannon

Episode 22:

The Gingamen and Yuuta practice near an industrial area. Yellow and Pink bicker over nothing important and it escalates quickly until Green tells them to get back to training. Red tells Yuuta they had a fight yesterday in Mokk's lair that involved pillow throwing and Yellow eating everything, Pink even throwing Bokk at one point. The two catch onto what Red is saying when Green tells them to go on shopping duty. Blue tells Yuuta it is typical behavior to prevent him from worrying. After that Bucrates is unimpressed by Budoh's generals when he reveals the last clue in the scroll. Zahab proclaims it will be his last operation and thus his last general will be used for it. Shelinda is unimpressed and rips the scroll. Dotoumusha becomes angry, but Budoh tells him not to worry. On a roof top Dotoumusha and some yartots think the Galactic Light is in the city and creates the Blocking Wall from his left palm which is meant to prevent trespassers from entering the city. Yellow and Pink still fight over nothing, the former wanting donuts from a shop. However, the Blocking Wall stops him and it soon becomes apparent to everybody. Mokk notices and tells the others. He also cannot contact Yellow and Pink. During this Bucrates talks to Iris in her room where they wonder if Dotoumusha will find the Galactic Light. The others encounter the barrier and are unable to get through it while Yellow and Pink hear civilians screaming. Dotoumusha jams his spear into the ground when they show up to transform and fight. Yartots go down before Dotoumusha asks to test their powers. They charge, SB Swords in hand, but stops them with his hands unimpressed. He takes out a katana and easily takes them down. Mokk tells the others the barrier might explode if enough force from the outside damages it. Yellow and Pink then bicker about whether to retreat or not, making them eventually do so. The yartots are commanded to find them. Yellow and Pinkk yell at each other after that, the former thinking he could handle it when the latter calls him out. Yellow tries running off and Pink gives up.

Dotoumusha's spear shakes, revealing he found a sacred spring. The others discover the barrier also works underground as they walked through a sewer. Pink realizes people are running out of air when a squad of yartots attack so her slingshot takes them out in one hit. She tries comforting two kids holding hands while Yellow takes care of another squad, resulting in him being overran. He sees a cake in a window that makes him think of the previous day's fight, realizing it is the birthday of Red's brother. Dotoumusha thinks the Galactic Light is about to show when Yellow finds Pink and tells a yartot for the way out and he says it before being knocked out via headbutt. He then tears off a piece of his clothes for a small gash on Pink's left leg. Dotoumusha loses his patience while the others encounter BB and Gotaurus. He grows big despite the lack of a monster to fight and becomes BT. He starts trying to bust the barrier so the others call their SBs followed by transforming to stop him. Dotoumusha faces Yellow and Pink to prevent their escape via fighting. BT faces the three SBs at once, holding his own until his chest pain continues and forces him to decombine. The others jump down only for him to jump away. Dotoumusha manages to tire Yellow and Pink who then do a double team attack followed by taking down the door- Wait, that did the whole barrier? Whatever, the others meet up and beast blast him down. However, his armor allowed Dotoumusha to continue. After that the ground shakes and out from his spear are black clouds, blue energy balls, and the Galactic Light. The episode ends with everyone chasing it. Next episode shows a three way fight for the Galactic Light and the Gingamen getting new claw weapons.

Dotoumusha: Powers include forming the Blocking Wall from the left hand, a spear, and a katana that charges with electricity

Episode 23:

After a recap of last episode the chase leads to a forest as Mokk tells the Gingamen the Barban cannot revive Daitanic. Red jumps at Dotoumusha while Bucrates tells the others the Galactic Light has appeared. BB spots it near a mountain as his pain continues. The Gingamen sword fight with Dotoumusha which flunks due to his armor. He then brings out a jar that uses an energy net to catch the Galactic Light. On Daitanic the yartots bring out a cannon while Shelinda acts jealous at Budoh. Zahab was wondering if Budoh was of worth. Zahab has thoughts of Daitanic reviving once the Galactic Light hits him. Bucrates is disappointed he won't be able to demonstrate his awesomeness and Iris promises the Galactic Light will not revive Daitanic although making Budoh lose his position has to happen first. Medu Medu is summoned who is her daughter and tells them to lead everything to her. Medu Medu turns into Budoh and walks off. Dotoumusha reaches the shore and BB fights him, resulting in another sword duel. Medu Medu shows up as Budoh to take out BB and lead Dotoumusha away. The Gingamen start to worry as even Mokk can barely detect where they are, likely at Onioshi Falls. Dotoumusha is told by Medu Medu that in order to test the Galactic Light they must use it on the Gingamen and he agrees to it strange as it may be. He is then given a rosary with a snake on it I assume for good luck. The Gingamen arrive and face Dotoumusha who absorbs the Galactic Light. BB sees this and wonders why he is using it. He mutates and begins attacking with BB being confused. Medu Medu ditches her disguise and takes the jar with her as BB watches. Later, Red wakes the others up after passing out and Mokk tells them to hurry to the mountainside as Dotoumusha is looking for them. Mokk informs them they will likely lose before yartots attack. Shelinda and Zahab tell Budoh it is taking a while until Bucrates walks in telling what happened and puts the blame on Budoh, proclaiming treason during his speech. Shelinda believes him for no reason and Zahab only cares that the Galactic Light is not present. Shelinda holds a sword to his throat as Budoh is in shock. Iris laughs at what is happening as she looks into her crystal ball.

Dotoumusha goes on an Evil Surge rampage (why are fire balls called a surge?) which knocks the Gingamen off a cliff and demands their heads. He starts lighting the forest with fire as said fire reaches down the cliff somehow. Blue spots a rabbit in danger and is unable to dowse the fire. Pink tries saving a bird only for the smoke to kill it. They become angry and charge while transforming through fire, the effect may not have dated well, but they tried. The Gingamen face Dotoumusha and his armor is even more powerful than before, causing them to go enraged. Mokk notices their Earth Power is increasing. However, the snake from the rosary blows smoke into his eyes as Medu Medu is in a tree laughing at him. Dotoumusha soon finds out he was tricked and is unable to continue using the Galactic Light for long. BB shoots the jar and fires at Medu Medu who then teleports off. BB sword fights again and manages to force the Galactic Light out of Dotoumusha. The Gingamen stand before it and BB charges at them. Red tells him if he uses it for revenge he will be no better than the Barban only for BB to shoot them. The Gingamen then decide to save their planet by attacking the Galactic Light which heads toward them. Mokk tells them to grab it to transform it. They each raise their right hands toward it, lightning sparks, and the Galactic Light turns into gold jewelry called Radiant Beast Armor. Dotoumusha proclaims they will not have it only for them to charge at him, using an attack called the Galactic Flash which is an energy ball ram. He tries chuging barba extract, but dies too late to survive. The Galactic Light retracts into their Ginga Braces. BB is jelly and runs off while Budoh is shoved into a jail cell, Shelinda calling him a traitor before walking out. Next episode shows Budoh fighting the Gingamen and the premier of Gingaioh in radiant armor.

Galactic Light Dotoumusha: Powers include a pincer claw for the left arm that launches fire balls called the Evil Surge, and a cutlass that emits fire blasts called the Evil Fire Flash

Episode 24:

At Club the lens is foggy and Mokk notes they now have incredible power. Yellow acts over confident and pouts once called out. Green and Blue then get on Red's case for him not babysitting Yellow and Pink as kids. Nonsensical drama continues until Zahab announces to the rest of the Barban that Budoh is going to do suicide. Bucrates recommends using Iris as the next field commander, making Battobas throw a fit. Budoh realizes he cannot kill himself while labeled as a traitor. Two of his minions, Onimari and Yamimaru, break in to sneak him out and retrieve his Girasame to slice the bars. Bucrates points out to Battobas that simply smashing everything cannot wake him up. A yartot walks in stating Budoh escaped, Zahab quickly proclaiming Iris the new field commander as her first order is to hunt down Budoh. The maru brothers lead Budoh to a shrine to hide in where he states he will take the Galactic Light. That morning he kills innocent civilians to lure out the Gingamen who transform to fight him. The maru brothers charge in first, taking on the others while Budoh takes down Red.Before the fight can last yartots lead by Medu Medu attack. Budoh instrucs not to kill her and tells her to give Zahab a note before teleporting off. At the abandoned shrine the maru brothers get angry with Onimaru noting he his Red with monste ninpo which will cause him to become berserk. This happens as he wakes up like a maniac in Mokk's lair. He then goes after civilians in the city with the others trying to stop him. The Barban are detected by Mokk during this, forcing Yellow and Pink to fight them alone. The maru brothers blow whistles to signal their boss the two are close by. Red fights Green and Blue in an abandoned warehouse while the maru brothers attack Yellow and Pink. Mokk notes they cannot use the Galactic Light powers unless they are all together because it failed to be summoned. He tells the others this as well. Blue gets upset and walks toward him only to get kicked. Insert "do you not remember us" speech here and slow motion yelling that ends in using Earth Power on him. This jogs his memory of when they were kids, restoring his mind so they can meet up with Yellow and Pink.

Budoh runs to a windmill where Medu Medu tells him he is finished and even reveals she framed him. Also the note he sent got ripped in half with Medu Medu mentions her mom is the new field commander. Budoh laughs before slicing down the grunts and aiming for her, soon cutting Medu Medu down which kills her. At a river Yellow and Pink are stomped on by the maru brothers until the others kick them off, Onimaru surprised he broke his ninpo. The Gingamen form their radiant beast armor and fire a bladestar blast from their SB Swords. Budoh walks to them and promises to beat the Gingamen as he sees the Galactic Light in their jewelry. He reveals to them they have no place now and that this is their final battle. Budoh duels with Red which is a neat battle. Both land some hits, but Red breaks the Girasame and finishes Budoh, making him rant before the final slash that ends him is executed and ends in an explosion. The maru brothers use the barba extract to become giants followed by the SBs being summoned, go silver, and become Gingaioh. The Galactic Light grants Gingaioh with radiant armor as well. The SA Sword uses the Cutter, slaying both maru brothers in two slashes. At Club Red and Blue are patched up while mentioning embarrassing stuff that happened to Yellow and Pink as kids. The episode ends with smiles for them while BB vows to take the Galactic Light while his body is in pain. Next episode shows BB fighting Red and an illusion of Kratz.

Budoh: Powers include swimming, the Girasame, shurikens, and teleportation
Onimaru: Powers include swimming, a bladed ring, high jumping, monster ninpo, and teleportation
Yamimaru: Powers include swimming, a ninjato, high jumping, and teleportation
Medu Medu: Powers include disguises, teleportation, and a whip

Episode 25:

BB summons Gotaurus and states this will be their final battle. Gotaurus is iffy while BB has a flashback of giving Kratz a knife, the same one he tried to stab Zahab with and failed. The chest pain rises again and knows who is causing it. Red's brother does echoing whispers Red can hear until Green snaps him out of it. On Daitanic the yartots do drumming for Wanga Wanga, Shelinda not liking the noise. Zahab apparently wants a demonstration of this monster who manages to depetrify a yartot. Iris and Shelinda bicker, mentioning Wanga Wanga needs more souls to power his Spear of Hate which can be used to unseal Daitanic. He starts by going after a pair of high school boys fighting in a park. Mokk alerts the Gingamen as Wanga Wanga collects a bunch of souls in seconds. Grunts attack and get taken out. Yellow gets slashed by Wanga Wanga who escapes. Iris wants a massive booty once Daitanic is revived and Zahab opens his treasure room while reminding her failure will have her end up like her predessecors. Mokk alerts the Gingamen BT is at a volcano. Gingaioh is formed and shows up, Mokk noting that the volcano BT is attacking leads to the planet core. Enough energy will cause it to expand and explode. Same one the Changemen got their powers from? Maybe. The bots fight and Wanga Wanga senses the hatred. BT is only stopped by BB's chest pains and has to decombine. The Gingamen head down, Blue noting Gotaurus is against the world busting plan as it walks off. Wanga Wanga attacks BB, Red leading him to safety while they handle him. Yartots pursue with Red fending them off and BB wondering why he is showing mercy. Insert complaining about idealism here. BB mentions he has been using Red's brother, making him wonder what the hell is going on. BB reveals after Sambashed slayed him the fissure the brother fell down in the first episode was over him. He saved Red's brother via sword throwing through clothes to a wall even though bumping like that should shatter his bones. He decided to possess the human to revive himself and make it topside. Red is in shock and BB reveals the two have been constantly fighting and he can only be released if he dies.

BB asks Red if he is willing to kill to save his brother, BB moving forward with his sword in hand. He sheaths his SB Sword, stating he fights only to protect someone and that they are fighting to protect Earth. Red then runs off as BB remembers Kratz. Meanwhile, Wanga Wanga beats up the others badly until Red jumps in to cut him down and the Galactic Light can be used for their armor. One ram later Wanga Wanga goes down and drinks barba extract to grow, this time from a leather bottle. Gingaioh with the radiant armor is brought in after SBs combining off screen and the Cross Slash slays him. However, Wnaga Wanga's spear lands into the volcano which causes a shockwave which will cause Earth to explode. Mokk tells them they much reach the planet's core as they travel through hellish flames and BB looks on. They revert back to human form, still wading through the volcano embers. BB sees a hallucination of Kratz- AND I JUST REALIZED THERE IS AN N IN HIS NAME! KraNtz tells his brother there are lots of planets and that Gotaurus likely still likes him as he hands BB white flowers. He asks him to protect Earth before walking away. BB finally releases Red's brother from his body and tells the Gingamen he can stop this by absorbing the energy and exploding himself. He throws his sword to throw a temporary barrier and promises Red his brother will live. Gotaurus shows up and BB tells him to find new comrades. BB gets hit with shockwaves, but keeps going while holding the flowers (I guess Krantz was a ghost). He walks through with the soul of his little brother until he tips over the edge, absorbs the energy, and turns into a pillar of light that forms gold snow. The barrier dissolves and Red picks up his sword before seeing his weakened brother walk toward them complete with echoy music. The Gingamen rush over, Red being last as he sheds tears of joy before they embraced each other and shut it fujoshis. Next episode shows Red's brother fighting and the others in mirror fragments.

Wanga Wanga: Powers include a soul stealing Spear of Hate, high jumping, and explosive darts
=================================================
Originally I was not going to count episode 25, however due to how significant it is in arc defining I figured I might as well keep it in. In terms of balance Red and BB have about three eps too much while everyone else is evenly balanced. Mokk is a decent mentor, giving plenty of wisdom and knowledge while calling out when the Gingamen screw up. Budoh is somewhat better than Sambash, he has enough principles compared to the other Barban to care about his minions, yet is perfectly okay with murdering unarmed civilians. I also like the conspiracy Iris and Bucrates were trying. What is strange is that Shelinda would instantly call someone a traitor when their minion committed treason. Zahab not caring makes sense since he only cares about treasure, Shelinda just seems pushy. BB is kind of like a mix of Dragonranger and King Ranger, what with between losing a relative and acting as rogue agents with both being sealed away for an extended period of time. BB is a massive jerk, but that is to be expected for a revenge hungry person. The Galactic Light armors are pretty nifty, they seem to be worthy power ups. The only real negatives I can come up with are sometimes it does stupid things that make no sense (BB instantly knowing the Barban plots comes to mind), the humor can be drawn out too much (tomato hate a nice example), and the side characters do so little it makes you wonder why they are even there. Other than that it does have a nice variety of monsters of the week with amusing villains, reasonable ranger balance, plenty of action, and tries acting like an epic which it does a decent job of doing so far. In fact it does seem to act like Zyuranger the more you think of it what with the use of magic.
