Happy Easter everybody! For a gift here is part 6!

Episode 26:

After a recap of last episode Red's brother is shown around Mokk's lair with Bokk saying he missed him. He states BB used the last of his power to free him before giving up his life as Red gives him his sword. Gotaurus remembers BB's final words on finding new comrades. The next day Red's brother is given a new outfit made by the Gingamen and Bokk before chow time. Yuuta and Aoyama meet the guy, the latter commenting that miracles do happen. Also a dumb joke with forzen pork. On Daitanic, Bucrates congratulates Iris for beating BB, even Shelinda cannot deny it. Geltgelt is summoned from a mirror to do her bidding. After that the others wonder what Red and his brother are doing since they went to look at the SBs- OR they could be looking at berries in a field under a train bridge. Mokk informs them of the Barban attacking as Geltgelt traps random people in hexagon mirrors. The Gingamen show up and fight off a squad of yartots. Everyone except Red and his brother become sealed in mirrors, the former getting cut from his sword. They soon withdraw while Geltgelt has a yartot recover the mirrors, saying 39 is enough for Daitanic to be revived. At Mok's layer Red gets unwillingly cleaned up, the brother noting he left the awful scent of the field berries on a yartot, asking Mokk to track the scent. The mirrors are placed in a warehouse in a magic circle IN BEFORE XIBIT MEME REFERENCE. Geltgelt notices the yartot with the berry smell, but cares not as he opens a crate with voodoo dolls. Mokk finds him despite lack of trees.

An incantation is attempted which causes the people in mirrors to writhe in pain as a beam of light is sent to Daitanic. A voodoo doll spot Red and his brother and grows human sized to fight them with a sword. It eventually loses and they continue to fight another, this time wielding a scythe that fires energy blasts. Once that one is down and the two are weakened, Red claims he wants to give the SB Sword back to his brother since he was chosen for it. He now has confidence though and wants to bust the Barban followed by brief stock footage. The scythe wielding voodoo doll tries a sneak attack only to go down for good. The brother happily relinquishes his title as a Gingamen before the continue. Geltgelt's mirror seals crack with everyone hurting until the two kick down the last voodoo doll and use their fire to send Geltgelt and his squad out of the warehouse. This causes his shield to break and undo the seals by default. The Gingamen jump out to transform, do intros, and obliterate grunts. Red fights Geltgelt one on one in a sword duel. Both land hits on the other before radiant beast armor is called for to use the Galactic Flash. Geltgelt is forced to drink barba extract to become a giant while the SBs are called for, go silver, and become Gingaioh with radiant armor. Geltgelt manages to use a mirror seal while BB's sword heads toward Red's brother. BB uses the sword to tell him to save the planet as Gotaurus shows up to help, goring Geltgelt. With that the brother uses the sword to become the New BB aka what he will be called from now on. New BB grows to become BT. Using the Wind Bull Cutter Geltgelt explodes and Gingaioh becomes free. The episode ends with New BB saying he inherited this power and everyone at Club having a victory meal prepared by Aoyama. Next episode shows New BB saving a school girl and Pink not liking it.

Geltgelt: Powers include mirror traveling, a broadsword that entraps enemies in a mirror, a shield that seals humans in hexagon mirrors, and three voodoo doll minions

Episode 27:

The Gingamen sword train while Bokk tells Pink he does not know flower language when asked. She has faith in New BB becoming a team member and starts getting over cheery. Yellow makes fun of her when she backs this up that New BB is her mentor. Fighting breaks out with Blue used as a shield. Cut to Daitanic where Shelinda is angry that New BB is a thing and Zahab tells them to cut the excuses. Iris summons from her djinnie bottle Morugumorugu. Iris tells him to place 89 girls in that djinnie jar and whisks off in his bandage form into Tokyo. Two school girls get slapped with yellow and purple paint before turning into sand he places in said jar. Before he can do it to a third the Gingamen show up. Yartots show up from I assume the coast while New BB chases Morugumorugu. The barban monster gets away and he checks on the would-be third victim who hugs him out of fright. Pink sees this and becomes sad while the men check up on the victim. New BB states he will protect her and walk her home. The Gingamen return to Club wondering if he likes her until Green reminds Yellow that idea is dumb. Pink thinks New BB has a plan and speaking of him the school girl is named Kinohara. New BB saves her from steel beams falling only to find out it was a yartot trap. Kinohara runs off while Morugumorugu goes into a school and bandage wraps a bunch of students. Blue and Yellow spot two tennis players that are bandaged and knocked out while Green spots four. Red and Pink spot more while we find out Kinohara is not so innocent as she places sand collected from the bandages in a jar- HOW THE HELL IS SHE MORUGUMORUGU IN DISGUISE!? He meets up with New BB while Mokk states the victims will die soon if they are not restored. Mokk's screen spots New BB and Yellow gets angry for no reason while Pink goes out to help him.

New BB buys a flower for Morugumorugu when Pink tries to fake a Barban attack. Upon him giving a flower to Morugumorugu he walks off with him and Pink runs away all mopey. Morugumorugu drugs New BB's lemonade with what I assume is barba extract until Pink steals his drink because whiny conflict. After running off after putting it down, Red drinks the whole thing quickly. He soon feels pain as Morugumorugu laughs at him before New BB passes out. Morugumorugu reveals he was POSSESSING Kinohara this whole time and sends bandages after her. New BB reveals he is fine and trips him. Also he knew of the possession because Morugumorugu smells like a corpse. Pink then reveals she SOMEHOW JUICE SWAPPED and the flower told her he was a fake. Yartots attack and go down while Kinohara is briefly nabbed until Pink goes after him. She gets ensnared briefly until Red cuts the bandages. Kinohara runs off and the Gingamen transform and immediately bringing in radiant beast armor. Once the yartots go down New BB fights Morugumorugu only to get wrapped up and thrown around. Pink steps in to help him and the two use double team to bring him down. Morugumorugu uses barba extract to become kaiju sized, SBs are called for, they go silver, and Gingaioh is formed followed by BT. A two against one titan clash, Morugumorugu uses his bandage form to dodge and launches a staff fire ball to weaken Gingaioh's right knee. The Wild Bull Cutter weakens Morugumorugu long enough for the radiant armor to restore Gingaioh to end the fight with the Cutter- Oh wow, he was made of rocks? Kinohara thanks the Gingamen and Pink still acts jealous with New BB. Next episode shows Aoyama being mind controlled and Blue trying to save him.

Morugumorugu: Powers include a bandage form, psychically controlled bandages, possession, and a staff that throws fire balls

Episode 28:

At night a family is attacked by Hierahiera, specifically her arrows which cause the parents to abandon their child. Zahab thinks Iris is using useless magic and Shelinda wants Daitanic's seal terminated already. Bucrates calms them down while Iris states humans have lots of emotions. Hierahiera uses her arrows to collect the hearts of 111 humans and feed them to Daitanic. Her plan should be done by tomorrow. The next morning we see Yuuta and Aoyama bickering about whether or not they have plans today. Yuuta runs off to meet with the Gingamen and Blue prepared lunch much to the surprise of the others. Turns out him and Yuuta planned a picnic and sneak off, Red noting it is strange. Aoyama watches from a distance disappointed as he looks at his rice balls. In some building Aoyama encounters Hierahiera and gets arrowed. After that Blue and Yuuta talk about food and dating tips because Suzuko just appeared. Yuuta walks off to make things work between the couple. Antics mistaking her for an old woman ensue. At Club, Yuuta spots his dad acting cold. He is soon thrown out of the house and no longer considered his child. Hierahiera is stopped by New BB before she can attack a little girl. Blue is eventually called to fight. He lands a hit on Hierahiera before the beast blasters fire. She turns into ice cubes and disappears, allowing Blue to continue his date which the others figure out. However, he encounters Yuuta crying over what happened. Aoyama is not home and Blue says he will meet Suzuko later. They eventually find Aoyama in a park and Yuuta tries to do it himself while Blue talks to Suzuko. Yuuta gets thrown- WOW did nobody take the editing seriously to check continuity. Yuuta then notices his dad is traveling with others to a hillside where Hierahiera is gathering her victims. Blue looks for Yuuta when Mokk informs him of the people at the mountain.

Yuuta sees Hierahiera placing arrows into an ice block with his dad being the last victim. Yuuta gets restrained by a pair of yartots and the last arrow placed into the ice block. Blue shows up to beat down mooks and Yuuta tells him about the big block. Hierahiera fights him and starts winning until the others show up with Red and Green kicking her. The Gingamen transform and pose before slaying yartots while Yuuta bangs on the block (yes I know it is a crystal). Iris spots him and uses telekinesis to stop him. New BB fights Hierahiera so Blue can save him and slash Iris. He gets a magic onslaught, but eventually grabs her so Yuuta can knock over the block via tackling. It shatters and hearts become restored. Iris teleports off, Aoyama wakes up to apologize, Yuuta hugs him, and the fight continues outside as Hierahiera causes a snowstorm briefly. Blue returns to give her a slash while New BB distracts her long enough for radial beast armor summoning using the Galaxy Flash. One explosion laster she consumes barba extract to become big. SBs are called in to go silver, eventually becoming Gingaioh and BT. The two mechs get frozen until BT blows the snow back. Hierahiera reforms after turning into ice and Gingaioh uses its radial armor. Both cutters from Both mechs cause Hierahiera to explode. After that Blue forgetting about Suzuko until Yuuta brings her up. He finds out she waited for him despite all this time and brought tea. The episode ends with the others sneaking in to join in on lunch. Next episode shows some alien merchant, Yellow in a cage, and two new mechs.

Hierahiera: Powers include fog emitting, hate arrows, teleportation, mouth snow, turning into ice cubes, and an energy rope from the right hand

Episode 29:

At Club the Gingamen talk about the yearly Star Festival which seems to be like Christmas. Yuuta is interested as Red explains before the festival the Gingamen have to take an oath of protecting peace. Yellow remarks that they have been doing fine up until now and Green tells him not to lower his guard. Battobus notices something smells and Iris does not like him around. Apparently he came to tell Zahab someone is arriving, Shelinda revealing a cosmic weapons merchant named Prince Bezunera. Apparently the Barban go back a ways with him. We see a space ship unchaining a bigger ship in a desert before heading to Daitanic. Said smaller ship contains Prince Bezunera who is greeted. Bezunera recommends a purchase to fight the SBs when Shelinda points out he is a hyena figuratively. He promises it is not scrap metal and wants to borrow a yartot for a device to be tested. Mokk tells the Gingamen the Barban are attacking and grunts get slain seconds later. Bezunera uses his device which forms a giant slinky that takes Yellow and New BB away. Bokk panics and Yuuta tells him it will be alright. In the desert (with a dead tree) Yellow and New BB wake up, the former in a cage with tubes and the other chained up to a support. Their transformation items are gone as Bezunera reveals he has them. Yellow tries breaking out, but his Earth Power is absorbed and redirected into the device he uses. New BB is beaten by yartots and Yellow is forced to power the device more while the others look for them even with SBs. Bezunera eventually gets annoyed and walks off with his squad. Yellow decides to try to overload the cage despite New BB telling him not to. The warrior oath is brought up and tension occurs until New BB passes out. Yellow becomes deep in thought into dusk and tries manually breaking out through the ceiling.

That evening Bezunera walks by and is disappointed at what is happening. Yellow feels down, but will not cooperate, rather he will destroy himself. Bezunera thinks this is not possible, but the absorption device in the ceiling was destroyed apparently. Also it is not dusk anymore. Bezunera realizes Yellow wants him to open the door as he continues to hurt himself. Bezunera eventually opens the cage once he appears passed out and gets kicked in the face. Yellow emits lightning to inform the others where he is and transforms after zapping Bezunera. New BB is Kiba Fanged free and given his Bull Riot to transform. He shoots the cage and the blast causes Bezunera to go flying near a rocky shore. The others show up followed by yartots to become cannon fodder. Radiant beast armor is brought out to use the Galaxy Flash, allowing Bezunera to fill up his device with energy. After that he summons the large ship from earlier named Ginga Biter to summon vehicles that turn into the mechs Ginga Phoenix and Ginga Rhinos. Both unload on the Gingamen who summon their SBs, go silver, and turn into Gingaioh with radiant armor and BT. The mechs suddenly lower their guard not wanting to fight. Bezunera reveals they are SBs too under his command and they proceed to fight, ending on a cliffhanger. Next episode shows the fight continuing into the night.

Episode 30:

After a recap of last episode the fight continues, Rhinos and Phoenix winning with Bezunera stating they used to be SBs from worlds destroyed by Daitanic he enslaved and modified into weapons to sell. Both steel SBs use their weapons, Rhinos a laser rifle and Phoenix a boomerang that can be encased in energy. On Daitanic Bezunera brags about his plan although Bucrates is still skeptical for no reason. Beuneru wants five treasure chests of gold as a price and he gets it despite Iris disagreeing. Zahab reminds her of her place as field commander and wants the Gingamen gone. Barukibaruki is summoned to handle the energy charged remote. After that we find out from Mokk the SBs are angry and the Gingamen understand why. Yuuta asks if they will beat the steal SBs with New BB stating- Wait, how are supposed space monsters born on EARTH!? So yeah, supposedly many died over the millennia with their hearts continuing and Mokk claims they must unite their hearts. Everyone decides to try and save the steel SBs. Cut to a rooftop where Barukibaruki summons Ginga Bitus followed by Rhinos and Phoenix to rampage through Tokyo to lead the SBs there. They fire torso beams and the Gingamen head out, Red promising the Star Festival in the evening. Green notes someone must be controlling them nearby as their SBs appear on the scene ready to fight. Weapons from the enslaved start the battle.

The Gingamen search Tokyo while Barukibaruki gives verbal orders. Red and New BB soon find him as he teleports in some yartots. The others arrive so they can all transform. They take him off the rooftop to the ground level and fight there. The SBs get trashed while more mooks attack the Gingamen. In the chaos Barukibaruki destroys the remote to make the steel SBs remain berserk. The radiant beast armor is brought out to use the Galaxy Flash on him only for barba extract to make him grow. Barukibaruki aids in the assault against the SBs when Red suggests helping them out by having them go silver and become Gingaioh. Even Gotaurus suddenly appears so BT can be used. Dusk starts and the situation is grim, Red attempts talking to the steel SBs to no avail. Barukibaruki finger bolt spams which knocks BT out. Yuuta grabs a necklace and holds it tight until the beads break. Yuuta gathers them up as night falls with the full Moon. The Gingamen conntinue being confident as Barukibaruki finger bolts them. Red's words eventually get them to turn their weapons on the barban monster as they change their head structures. The lens becomes blurry and both steel SBs attack Barukibaruki before helping up Gingaioh. Yuuta knew their hearts were not dead as both he and Bokk cheer. The two mechs use double team with martial arts and robot sounds. Giga Bitus shows up to betray Barukibaruki via finger missile spamming. Gingaioh gets radiant armor and ends the fight using the SA Sword using the Cutter. BT gets up as the other mechs strike a team shot. On Daitanic the yartots take Bezuneru's chests as he gravels. Battobus tells him if he is a dark cosmic merchand he will continue. Zahab cares not as the two walk away. The episode ends with the Star Festival being done late at night near a creek as the Gingamen do their oath and the SBs are glad to have new additions to their family. Next episode shows Shelinda walking around and Yuuta and Green's bodies turning to stone.

Now onto part 7.

Episode 31:

Bitus flies into a waterfall while Zahab blames Iris for what happened to the steel SBs. He wants crap done and Iris heads out. On the Tokyo streets we see Green and Yuuta I assume shopping looking at that bag. Green brings up he must pay attention in school when they spot fortunes being told. Inside the fortune teller rent space are pachinko games and people having their palms copied into a box. The box is taken behind a curtain and we find out the fortune teller is really Garagara. There are quite a few of these boxes stacked by yartots. Green and Yuuta get their fortunes when a truck goes off the road about to hit a baby Green barely saves in time. Everyone is thankful and Green spots a note with eggs and beef- Oh it is his grocery list. Yuuta wants to try what he did. After that, they return back to Club, Green criticizes Red's writing and Yellow acts like a joker until Yuuta tells him off. Variouschoirs happen, Yuuta trying to take over Blue's mopping duties, but only gets his leg bruised. After that he plays on a recorder. This results in paint in the face antics. Cut to the boxes of read palms, they open up and form 333 flags to use a curse that will revive Daitanic as Garagara uses a mop during the incanation. While a vortex appears over Daitanic the others tell Yuuta to stop butting in. The vortex heads over Club and turns the right hands of Green and Yuuta to stone. Iris proclaims Daitanic is reviving at last. This happens to everyone that had their palms read as Mokk states the stone will continue to spread and eventually kill them. Mokk then finds the mysterious wind right before Green and Yuuta have their left feet petrified (somehow not including their ankles. Daitanic's stone sealing starts cracking while the two try heading up stairs. Green thinks they will be stone within the hour when Shelinda shows up to finish him. Yuuta tries getting away while Green transforms and the two sword duel. The others find Garagara and take down his squad of yartots before going after him only for choke ups to occur. The stone goes up the left legs and Yuuta manages to shove Shelinda off who fires a hand laser Green takes. Shelinda continues fighting him when she finds out the cursed stone can stop her sword. Yuuta takes said sword and gives it to Green. Yuuta gets lasered and debris falls from a nearby building from it somehow.

Yuuta gets buried under rubble and Green becomes enraged, managing to land a hit on the pirate shrew that knocks Shelinda out. Garagara is eventually restrained by the guys so Pink and New BB can open fire and bust his mop, upon doing so lifts the stone curse. Green tries getting Yuuta out of the rubble only to find his right shoe. He starts to heave when the boy gets out of a separate area of rubble fine and dandy. Green hugs and cries, glad he is okay. The two leave as Shelinda can barely crawl to her sword. Garagara gains the upper hands until Green shows up to practice kick boxing on him. Radiant beast armor is used for the Galaxy Flash, forcing Garagara to consume barba extract to grow to giant sized while the SBs are summoned to go silver and become Gingaioh who uses radiant armor. Garagara manages to disarm Gingaioh of its SA Sword and Red summons Bitus from the waterfall. Gotta love homages to old sentai carriers. The ship turns into an HK Tank from the Terminator movies and unleashes the vehicles that turn into Rhinos and Phoenix. This has classic Match Box toys written all over it. Also I just noticed Rhinos looks like Daimos while Phoenix resembles Mazinger Z. The two go in melee to assist Gingaioh, allowing all three to use their finishing moves to destroy him. Yuuta thanks Green for what he taught him and Yellow feels jealous. The episode ends with Blue promising to cook Yuuta something and tripping. Next episode shows an angry motorcycler and the premier of Galio Pulsar.

Garagara: Powers include a human disguise, a magic staff that transfers stone, six extendable arms that emit electric shocks, and a falcata

Episode 32:

Some school girl rides her bike and has to stop because a dog is too dumb to get out of the way, causing her to fly into the arms of Red. Wow that was forced. Her older brother throws a fit and punches it. Yuriko claims he saved her. After that they head to his motorcycle shop and he apologizes once he finds out he is a Gingaman. Red also reveals he has a horse (remember those?) and even tries out how a motorcycle feels. Since he is not used to such machinary he jumps when the engine revs up. That evening they head off and everyone is happy. Yuriko seems hyper about this while on Daitanic Iris has her eye on all those gold coins, unaware everyone is watching. She reveals she sent her other daughter, Merudameruda, out to terrify 22 people. In the streets of Tokyo a random woman is attacked by Merudameruda. That morning Red shows Yuriko around Club while the others munch on star cookies. Yuriko states Ichiro, her brother, seems to like Red. That night the terror continues as another woman gets attacked by Merudameruda. Mokk spots this and sends the Gingamen out. When the Gingamen get there it turns out Yuriko is the victim and Merudameruda's snake traps her in her pendant. Red tells Ichiro what happened, even apologizing. He goes looking for her to no avail, finding only her shoe. Red gets hit and Ichiro runs off even though Red swears to save Yuriko. Insert pointless drama here.

Wow that eyecatch came early. Red begins the self pity train as Ichiro closes his shop temporarily to find his sister. Ichiro calls out Merudameruda who comes and mentions Daitanic. Mokk tells Red and Ichiro gets beaten around. Red tells him not to be reckless, but that fails. He eventually uses fire powers to ward her off, making her flee. He tells Ichiro to leave the saving to him and Ichiro eventually trusts him. The fight continues as the others show up, they transform, give intros, and slaughter random yartots teleported in (it looks like six, but more show up on screen). Red fights Merudameruda one on one, the former soon getting her pendant. Merudameruda summons a motorcycle and the Gingamen summon their radiant beast armor for Galaxying Flashing, but she is moving to fast for the ram to hurt her. Ichiro shows up on his bike to kick her into random boxes- Oh hey, now we teleported to a ship yard, good old Toei editing! Ichiro starts dueling with her when New BB shows up saying old BB notes the Galactic Light can change form. Red asks for the others to have their fractions combine with his to form something new. The result of them placing swords together? A motorcycle called the Galio Pulsar. Red rides it and Ichiro is gunned down. A new motorcyce duel takes place, machine guns and lasers a spamming. An attack called Lion rushed is used which is basically a flame encased ram. Merudameruda is forced to become kaiju sized from barba extract chugging after Red releases everyone from the pendant. Gotta love the growing pose here. SBs are summoned to go silver and become Gingaioh while Merudameruda places them in a pocket dimension. Merudameruda teleports around and hands upside down. Gotta love Space Sheriff homages. Bitus, Rhinos, and Phoenix are summoned- No, wait, just Rhinos. Gingaioh uses the SA Sword for the Cutter, blowing Merudameruda to pieces. Ichiro thanks Red and the episode ends with him giving the Gingamen star cookies Red does not seem to like. Next episode shows Pink and a young boy running from yartots.

Merudameruda: Powers include controlling a giant snake, turning into energy, an energy rope that emits electricity, high jumping, a motorcycle named Gorgondia armed with a pair of machine guns, and summoning a pocket dimension

Episode 33:

Some boy named Kyouhei shows up as his mom and Pink are talking about tomato prices in their family shop. Pink eventually goes off and Kyouhei is told by his mom to give her free onions for her trouble or he gets no dinner. Oh hey, a My Pet Monster! Cut to Daitanic where Iris complains about reward dwindling and assuring Zahab she has a trump card in the works as she summons Desphias (according to Supersentai.com he shouldn't show up until next ep, but whatever). Also he is her brother. Bucrates thinks they can rest easy when Daitanic tilts. Kyouhei encounters Pink in a park on a tree. She offers him the chance to tree climb, but he thinks it is childish and does not want to be treated as a kid. Suddenly civilians run off and she goes after the source, Kyouhei going with her. Desphias is giving civilians the Masks of Tragedy from his staff that makes them sad. The men show up only to get the mask before they transform. Pink and New BB show up to see the four sobbing. Once 3333 people get it Daitanic will be revived and Kyouhei attacks because he hates being uncool or doing thinks like running. Desphias throws him and New BB takes a mask for him as the yartots attack. Pink uses explosive pedals to teleport back to Club with the others. Red hugs Bokk so hard it makes it hard to breathe. Even Yellow's donut love cannot snap him out of it. Mokk tells her to go to Mokiwa Forest because there is fruit that might help them. Kyouhei decides to tag along despite Pink pointing out that is a horrid idea. Wow that kid is clumsy. A flashback shows Pink talked to his older brother once and that makes him super jealous. Meanwhile, Desphias continues spreading sadness and the yartots find Pink on a stone bridge. They jump into the water to fight more and boy howdy does it get nuts, so much so she must retreat. Bokk tries telling joke puns, but that fails. Pink takes out grunts with a slingshot only for more to attack, eventually one cuts her leg. Kyouhei throws a rock at the last one to help and starts being sorry for placing her team in danger.

The two keep running, Kyouhei even helps Pink up before they find a tree with the fruits Mokk mentioned. Due to her injury it is up to the boy to tree climb as he reveals he is afraid of heights. He calls himself uncool, but Pink says he can be. More yartots attack and Pink transforms to fend them off. He eventually jumps up a branch to get started, nearly slips, recovers, reaches the branch, gets a sack of fruit, and Pink finishes off the grunts. Desphias is attacked by Pink just before he can claim another victim. The men show up to kick him, revealing they are better as Kyouhei watches nearby. The men are angry, transform, pose strike, and take out the mooks. Mokk notes the fruit effects will not last long so they must hurry. Pink fights Desphias via reflexes and clawing. Radiant beast armor is used for the Galaxy flash after New BB lands a hit. The staff breaks, undoing the masks while Desphias grows kaiju size from barba extract to go on a city rampage- Where did he get that sword? The SBs are summoned to go Silver and become Gingaioh followed by summoning radiant armor. Desphias's sword actually has effect on Gingaioh as he tries to cut him down while Bitus sends out Rhinos and Phoenix- no, wait, just Phoenix this time. Boy does it run around Desphias and land a bunch of hits. Gingaioh then uses its SA Sword to use the Cutter to blow Desphias to smithereens. Iris is saddened by her brother dying with Bucrates trying to comfort her. Battobus and Bezunera show Zahab and Shelinda a geyser-like spot on Daitanic's back, showing he is rotting. They must fully unseal him or they will sink to the bottom of the ocean. Due to the emergancy Battobus is the new field commander. The episode ends with Pink and Kyouhei munching on apples in a tree with the men offering to have a picnic and Yellow catching her from falling. Next episode shows Iris fighting the Gingamen and taking them down one by one.

Desphias: Powers include teleportation, a staff that gives the Masks of Tragedy, and a broadsword

Episode 34:

Zahab asks Iris to go into action herself, promising double the original reward. She agrees even with Shelinda being snippy. Also she claims to have revival powers. Daitanic rocks again and Bucrates finds it strange. Tokyo shakes and a tepee appears, in it Iris uses her crystal ball to summon dark magic of the scare people with lizards that turn into tattooes variety. These lizards are sent to collect blood from 9000 humans. Daitanic appears less stony as the Gingamen enter the area with their suits dissipated. Iris shows up to tell them of her sacrificial city, threatening to take them as well. Iris turns into her Dark Empress form, allowing her acid to burn Yellow at the right leg as lizards gather. Mokk tells them to retreat and Red covers them via flames. She teleports off while Bucrates explores Daitanic alone, discovering the rot hismelf. He then sees Battobus is annoyed that Iris is still doing stuff. Zahab notes that when she dies her soul becomes a ruby they can use to stop the rotting. Bucrates finds it horrid his captain is so uncaring- NOW YOU GET IT!? Zahab promises she is done after this. Cut to Clube where Mokk notes Iris is using powerful magic to drain blood and eventually kill her victims in a few hours. He tells them to destroy the teepee, Green bringing up they need ground rules when they head out to stop the crisis. Red tells them one of them must beat the Barban as they head out, SB swords on their backs. Iris sees them and sends lizards they jump over. After that they encounter revived monsters that slowly picks them off, New BB getting tattooed during his fight. More people get lizarded and Daitanic gets red spots in place of stone while more monsters attack the Gingamen. Eventually only Red is left, but the tepee fires electric bolts from its top.

Iris teleports in to fight Red, congratulating him before fighting. She summons Yuuta, mind controlled and using a fake SB sword. Red notices a lack of shadows, meaning he is an illusion, and uses flames to get rid of it. Iris then uses hand tentacles to ensnare Red who says he has his comrades behind him as they are all violently attacked. He cuts the tentacles and cuts the tepee, breaking it. The dead monsters turn to stone and the tattooes are gone with Daitanic returning to stone. The others show up and transforming happens. Radiant beast armor helps in their assault with New BB landing the last blow- No, wait, Galaxy Flash time. She takes out her crystal ball to grow without barba extract. The SBs go silver to form Gingaioh with radiant armor summoned and Gotaurus fuses with New BB to become BT. Both are hand tentacles and slammed into each other as shoulder guns fire from the mouths of the faces on her shoulders. Surging causes both mechs to lose their main weapons as she walks forward. Bitus summons both Rhinos and Phoenix. Punches and kicks fly followed by lasers and the SA Sword using the Cutter to terminate Iris- Oh wow she is still moving before exploding. The Gingamen leave while Bucrates takes Iris's ruby and places it in a magic circle. He tries reviving her when Zahab slashes the back of his head. Apparently he was aware they set Budoh up and Battobus smashes her ruby with his ax. Bucrates feels broken and Battobus is dubbed as the new field commander as he vows to revive Daitanic. Next episode shows Blue being beaten up and a glass vase breaking.

Iris: Powers include teleportation a crystal ball that summons blood draining tattoo lizards, and a ruby form
Dark Empress: Powers include acid from the mouths of the face shoulders, reviving monsters, two tentacles from each hand that emit surges, and shoulder guns from the shoulder face mouths

Episode 35:

After a recap of last episode we see Bucrates chained up and dropped overboard into the ocean depths.... Ouch. Battobus pours the shards of Iris into Daitanic which apparently stopped the rotting. Bezunera notes that the power was so strong it allowed Daitanic's heart to beat again. Cut to Club where New BB intends to leave since he feels useless or something. He points out Blue needs help talking to Suzuko more than him at the moment. At Wakatake Elementary school is out and Blue waits for her to get done with class to give her random flowers. Some other guy appears wearing glasses with even more flowers. Both soon discover they have an eye for Suzuko, hilarity ensues as both try to find her in the school. They eventually crash in, breaking a glass vase. At Daitanic the Barban note his revival is near and Battobus promises to deliver as he summons Bamasu. The yartots come in praising him. After that Bezunera proposes reviving further using a pump made of space ceramics or in this case glass. Battobus demands they find glass on the double. After that glasses guy talks down to Blue. Once Suzuko appears Blue apologizes and she accepts although she has to buy a new vase. They go with her to a mall where yartots break and collect glass with Bamasu breaking the glass ceiling. Windows across the city become destroyed as yartots vacuum everything up. Blue transforms to fight them although Bamasu slams him. A pair of yartots bust up a car and Suzuko rams one with a flower cart so the driver can escape. She gets shot afterward just as the others arrive. Yellow cuts the vacuum hose and Bamasu uses telekinetic explosions to allow them to get away. At Club Mokk points out they are using new methods to revive Daitanic. Yuuta tells Blue Suzuko is doing well at the hospital.

Blue heads to Central Hospital with glasses guy there- Oh his name is Mr. Kishimoto. She was not injured badly as the two head toward the roof for him to talk down to the guy that saved their lives because his protection was limited. Mokk informs him of the Barban attacking again and the teacher tells him to go already. Blue is distrait by this and starts flexing before stating he is right. Blue beats himself up and gets sad before asking him to deliver to her a farewell charm. The jerk throws it in a trash can before retrieving it. Bamasu has glass shattering from a pair of skyscrapers with Blue arrive to take out yartots. Suzuko is given the charm and thinks about it as the teacher thinks it is a plecebo for some reason. Bamasu bashes Blue around while Suzuko gets a crutch and goes off to find him. Blue gets blasted by Bamasu's fourteen hidden guns just as the others arrive to take out the remaining yartots. Suzuko shows up smacks a yartot with her crutch, saying she can protect herself as she shows Blue his charm he made for her. This gives him renewed strength that lifts Bamasu about ten yards followed by intros out of place. The Galaxy Flash is used without the radiant beast armor which follows soon after, Blue finally using the claw associated with it. Bamasu consumes barba extract from a tiny keg to grow while SBs are called to go silver and become Gingaioh. Once the radiant armor is brought out the titans clash, Bamasu having the upper hand until Bitus sends out Rhinos and not Phoenix. Punches land and the SA Sword uses the Cutter to end the fight which turns him into rocks. Blue tries helping Suzuko while the others and the teacher watch. Suzuko tells him he does not want Blue to protect her, but the world and that she likes him. The others feel happy for him while the teacher sobs, what a sad ending. Next episode shows Green and Aoyama on an adventure with their hands stuck together.

Bamasu: Powers include a sludge hammer, telekinetic explosions, reinforced armor, and seven guns in each pectoral
=================================================
Originally I was going to count ep 35, but it starts a new arc so I will not here. Ranger balance is pretty much the same although Pink needs one more and Green, Blue, and Yellow need two each to even things out. Most of what I said last time applies so lets just focus on the villains and steel SBs. For the latter I have no problem with and think they are nice call backs to 80s sentai; on the other hand the mechanization kind of goes against the mystical and natural tone the series has been going for. Iris being a calculating villain that actually accomplished part of her task was good, especially while manipulating her allies and family, and it gave a proper sense of irony that she would be sacrificed. It also shows how cruel Zahab can be toward his own allies, making him someone you'd want to remain loyal to and not cross if you valued your own life. Even then, knowing your underling was framed yet not caring because of lack of progress, that was just cold yet incredibly fitting for a cutthroat villain like him. As for Bucrates his death was a bit on the tragic side, by technical standards he did lose his family in all this. Nezunera seems more of a background guy, but since Battobus is up for commander duty I will give both of them time. As for the series overall one complaint I do have is that any episode that has anything resembling romance is incredibly forced with cringe inducing stupidity that makes you wish it would go away. Yuuta is actually developed decently, he has good intentions as a kid and wants to help the Gingamen yet is limited by his own age which is a decent way of connecting with kids that would watch this, especially when it aired.

So yeah, this might end up being one of the better entries.
 
We made the KickStarter goal! Now that a new form of technology is funded here is part 8!

Episode 36:

On Daitanic the heartbeat continues, Zahab states they have no time to waste. Battobus summons Bonbus and a large squad of yartots for rallying. Bezunera explains the plan, he has a rare alien ore that acts as a heart remedy when applied to fire so the main idea is to burn the nearby city. At Club house cleaning is done with Yellow being lazy. Aoyama and Green come back with hand holding, Yuuta revealing they are stuck. Why? Glue when they were working on the roof spilled over during latter climbing. Bokk reveals Mokk's leaves should remove it since it was his glue. Supposedly this works when the leaves are in water and they dunk it, but Mokk states the effects will take a week. Aoyama says he is sorry while Bonbus has the yartots disguised as construction workers and bury parts of the ore around town. His bombd are placed at thirty locations and one switch on a control console will set them all off at once as he laughs sinisterly. The trucks are sent out while Green and Aoyama try grocery shopping. The bomb planting begins as they are bolted to the ground one at a time. Around town Green and Aoyama are laughed at and talking ensues that goes nowhere followed by antics. One bomb gets loose and explodes, Mokk finds out so he alerts the Gingamen. More antics with the glue two. The others show up after the paramedics are finished, Red thinking there are more around the city so they head out. After that is more antics. Bonbus punches a yartot since he needs every bomb to cause the inferno and demands replacement ASAP. He even dares the Gingamen to touch his bombs. Yellow eventually spots one and Red informs Mokk. They touch the bombs which causes them to get stuck followed by Blue and Pink. Green and Aoyama spots the truck for the replacement bomb being unloaded, the latter trying to prove his worth with the former trying to calm him down. Green throws a can to distract a yartot so he can interrogate him. This ends up in him having to kick the grunt down via struggling. The truck drives off, but Green and Aoyama catch up via bridge and jump onto it. Why the hell are these first halves so long?

The others remain stuck while Mokk states Green is on it. Three yartots attack on the truck's top before being taken off one by one. Hanging on thanks to glue hands happens. Bonbus is about to detonate his bombs when the truck is crashing through boxes. Aoyama and Green show up to mess with the controls, freeing the others, and destroy it. Bonbus chases them while firing his arm cannon, having Green dangle over hot steam. New BB shows up just in time to fight Bonbus followed by the others. At the same time Green and Aoyama are no longer glued together- OH FOR THE LOVE GAAAAAH! A touching moment happens before the fighting continues and they enter the frey. Green transforms and assaults Bonbus thanks to Aoyama being jumped off of. Radiant beast armor is brought out for the Galaxy Flash Bonbus consumes barba extract to grow while the Gingamen send in the SBs to go Silver and become Gingaioh with radiant armor being summoned. Cannon fire happens before Bitus sends out Phoenix to help. After that the A Sword uses the Cutter to blow Bonbus to pieces. At club Yuuta is surprised his dad accomplished that much. The episode ends with paint spilling on Green's face and the others laughing. Next episode shows the yartots wheeling a cannon, New BB tied to a rock, the return of Bucrates, and the Gingamen in a fire ball.

Bonbus: Only known power is a cannon in the right arm

Episode 37:

A barrel emerges from the ocean which is revealed to be Bucrates washing up on shore- WOW he is pale! He vows revenge for Iris and to get back at Zahab. Cut to Arakumo Peak where New BB tends to the wounds of Gotaurus using crushed up herbs. His brother shows up to assist as New BB explains Gotaurus feels most comfortable here. After that he and Red sword duel a bit, New BB winning because slipping judgment. This goes on for a while as they use their actual swords and fire for training. After that they agree to each other to fight the Barban without weakness and save the Galaxy Forest complete with symbolic fire in their hands representing their hotblooded ambition. At sundown Gobisu is summoned for the yartot rally by Battobus. The plan this time is Bezunera stating they need a heart from one of the SBs and give it to Daitanic. Since Gotaurus is currently weak they suggest going for him. Come morning we see Bucrates moping around as yartots wheel a cannon of their flying jolly roger. New BB senses this and heads off to fight them. Gobisu states they are here to rob Gotaurus's heart while Mokk tells the Gingamen to head out. Shelinda points out to Battobus the Gingamen will fight for their SBs which is why Gobisu was chosen for the job. New BB transforms during the fight while Gobisu analyzes and copies his Bull Riot. New BB is taken off guard and the Gingamen show up to help. The cannon is about to fire and New BB tries to stop it. Bucrates finds Gotaurus and tells him not to struggle as he pulls out a small barrel. Gobisu duels with Red with an imitation SB sword that easily takes him down. The others try to fight him off only for their very styles to be used against them. Gobisu brags about how he analyzed their styles and how awesome he is. Radiant beast armor is brought out for the Galaxy Flash only to be Falcon Kicked- HOLY CRAP HE DUPLICATED THE GALAXY FLASH! BOOM!

New BB is caught by a rope trap Bucrates set up. He tells him Gotaurus will die if he moves as the yartots and Gobisu find out Gotaurus is gone. Turns out the SB is trapped in the small barrel from earlier. New BB unties himself and takes the barrel only for Bucrates to destroy it using telekinesis (makes sense since his nieces and nephews used similar magic). That barrel is a fake and the real one is hidden and he will do the same if New BB does not serve him. The Gingamen are tired out as they try to find Gotaurus. Yellow throws a fit over it until Green comes to a conclusion. The Barban come to the conclusion of bombing the entire area when the Gingamen show up to transform and do intros followed by a massive grunt smackdown. Red duels with Gobisu again, but does not use his SB sword. Rather he just uses melee attacks. Yellow is next and uses his Kiba Blade. Green uses Pink slashes his face, Blue slams him into a rock, and Pink uses her SB sword and Kiba Blade at the same time. Gobisu has a hard time reading their attacks and Galio Pulsar is summoned so Red can use Lion Rush to ram into him. This forces Gobisu to chug barba extract to become a giant followed by SBs being summoned to go Silver and form Gingaioh. Gobisu uses an imitation SA Sword and Bitus summons Phoenix for help upon Red calling for it. Since he uses Rhinos's weapon instead this sets Gobisu off. The SA Sword executes the Cutter to blow him to pieces. The episode ends with the Gingamen wondering what happened to Gotaurus and New BB since even Mokk cannot find them (not surprising since the area has no trees) as the latter and Bucrates walk away. Next episode shows Bucrates cooking a pot and New BB holding Pink hostage.

Gobisu: Powers include weapon copying and high jumping

Episode 38:

After a recap of last episode the Gingamen keep looking for New BB and Gotaurus affter sundown to no avail. Pink refuses to believe the Barban took them. The realize they must rest for now and Red goes looking for food. On Daitanic Magdas is summoned by Battobus for rallying and Bezunera stating they should remove the space dust in Daitanic's veins. Since they are too large to enter his bloodstream he proposes using children which Magdas is sent out with his squad to do. In the morning in a cave Bucrates cooks breakfast and reminds New BB not to do anything funny as he vows to slay Zahab. He mentions of the Shizumi glass. It is a forbidden herb the Galaxy Forest peoplee know about so he suspects New BB knows where it is. Bucrates knows how to beat Zahab and wants New BB to eat the herb to do so. New BB wants proof while Bucrates states he is not certain, but has Gotaurus regardless. After that we see a small boy uprooting a purple flower before having to go on a bus with other preschoolers. Yartots hijack the bus and Magdas uses his magnet to capture children. The yartots check their heights and start placing the short ones in sacks. The Gingamen arrive before any of them are hurt although one is sacked. Magdas accidentally reveals Daitanic's heart is functioning when new BB shows up to save the kid and send the Barban packing. Said kid with the flower taker and steals it from him. The Gingamen see New BB leaving with Bucrates as Red asks where he got the flower. Upon seeing the area Red and Green spot shizumi glass seeds in the ground where the flower was uprooted. The roots are cooked up as Bucrates says this must remain a secret. Green mentions that if he uses it he will lose his Earth Power and beexiled from the Galaxy Forest. Red concludes Gotaurus is held hostage. Mokk soon picks up the smell of the cooking smoke and tells the Gingamen. Bucrates tells New BB to drink it just before the Gingamen stop him. He is restrained and Bucrates wants New BB to be on his side.... AND HE TAKES PINK HOSTAGE. After that he shoots at them and runs.

At a beach New BB and the Gingamen fight, the former claiming he is giving up his Earth Power. Mokk tells them the Barban are going after children again. Red tells the others to leave as he will fight his brother one on one. Pink reluctantly agrees to doing this. Magdas gets children from a theme park. The others show up and take out the mooks. Pink attacks Magdas while the brothers fight one another via swords and fire. Red eventually gets away, new BB takes the cup of shizumi glass and drinks it. Red transforms while in distrait as the others get their rears handed to them. Once Red shows up the radiant beast armor and Galaxy Flashed are used followed by Magdas drinking barba extract to become big, the SBs summoned to go Silver, and combine into Gingaioh who is granted radiant armor. Magdas uses his staff to take the SA Sword and Red has Bitus summon Rhinos to help out. After some melee fighting occurs the SA Sword uses the Cutter to make Magdas explode. The Gingamen are angry New BB sacrificed his Earth Power although Red still has faith in him. New BB comes to terms with the loss of his power as he and Bucrates walk the beach. Next episode shows New BB with an ax and Pink growing giant sized.

Magdas: Only known power is a magnet staff with a machine gun

Episode 39:

Yuuta is told about New BB losing his power although Red remains confident in him. During this he is forging an ax that Bucrates wants a magic potion poured on in order to beat Zahab. The powdery potion is poured while Pink trains vigorously to the point of hurting Blue and her right ankle. On Daitanic Bazgas is summoned and Bezunera says his next plan is massage the heart. Battobus proposes making humans giant via barba extract so they to not lose their own men. Bezunera states they made die upon becoming giant sized so he made an antidote. Special bullets are placed into Bazgas's shoulder cannons. Cut to a karate club where martial arts students are being thrown out by their teacher. Yuuta knows her and asks her to look at Pink's ankle. With a quick tug and a patch it goes back to normal, but she did go overboard today. Mokk tells her the Barban are attacking. Bazgas attacks an old man before the men show up. Red takes a hit that causes him to swell up. The others are given this too to immobilize them as Bazgas thinks they are failures. Bazgas finds out he is out of ammo and runs off. At Mokk's lair he states that the antidote being carried in other shells should to the trick. The men are concerned for Pink over doing it, but she blows them off. In a warehouse the Barban make higher concentrated shells. Pink finds Shinobu, the karate teacher, at Club looking for her. She came by to give advise not to go overboard and that her leg needs massaging, but she refuses help. Mokk spots the Barban who are kidnapping a massage doctor. Pink takes the antidote case until she is shot at. Shinobu shows up to help her fight off yartots. Bazgas fires again, Pink taking a direct hit that knocks her over before growing her. The men see this and rush toward her.

Bazgas is proud that it works and attempts to do the same to Shinobu until the men show up to fight. Red actually manages to hurt Bazgas in human form. Pink talks to Shinobu who gives the life story of her couch for seemingly no reason. The moral is that she has to loosen up to live her life. Pink is touched and thanks her just before Gingat jumps in. Pink begins to stomp at Bazgas since Gingat massaged her leg. She picks up Bazgas and squeezes him until he fires a dampener shell to make her human size. However, he spills the magazine, causing the other shells to be easily collected by the men. Pink takes down the yartots via Kiba Blade before saving the men, turning them back to normal so they can transform. Radiant beast armor is summoned to use the Beast Claws and the Galaxy Flash. Bazgas consumes barba extract to become big to massage Daitanic's heart. The SBs block his path, go Silver, and become Gingaioh followed by summoning radiant armor. Bitus sends out Phoenix to help out and we also discover his boomerang deflects projectiles. Bazgas is out of ammo, gets hit with his boomerang, and Gingaioh uses the SA Sword to execute the Cutter, ending the fight. The episode ends with the moral being repeated and Shinobu revealing she married her coach while New BB completes the Knight Ax and slices a girder. Next episode shows Yellow being conflicted to fight Degius.

Bazgas: Powers include a pair of shoulder cannons and six torso guns

Episode 40:

Blue and Pink serve lunch and Yellow is sword training which surprises the others. Green thinks it is due to New BB defecting. He shows up hungry soon after. That night Bezunera confesses he saw a comet recently come close to Earth and proposes using its energy to revive Daitanic although they will need a giant to accomplish this. Battobus proposes using Degius for the job who is quickly summoned. Zahab thinks any lose is trivial as long as Daitanic is revived. Cut to New BB training with his new ax, Bucrates is not impressed and demands he train more. The next day Degius looks on at the ocean now that an energy transmitter is bonded to his left arm by Bezunera. He finds it a bunch of nonsense and before he dies he wants a final battle, smashing a rock and calling for the Gingamen. They head out after Mokk tells them as Degius tires from wrecking ball swinging. He demands the Gingamen fight him as Yellow jumps in only to get thrown around. The others follow with spiked wrecking ball impact to the torso. Yellow continues his assault, chipping away at his armor although it does little. Yellow states he hates being treated like a child and manages to go over a cliff into the ocean with Degius. Battobus is furious with Zahab and Shelinda also scolding him. He storms out before we see the Gingamen looking for Yellow who is in a sandy cave. His right leg is cut and Degius is just sitting down. He grants him a bandage and delcares a temporary truce. Degius says his eyes have been worn out and in the dark he cannot see anything. Since the cave his poison gas he recommends they move fast. The two head out until they reach the cave entrance. Degius proclaims Yellow will be his final opponent. Battobus finds them and scolds Degius who points out he will die early if he goes through with the plan. The yartots are sicked on him to make the plan happen. Degius gets hacked by Battobus until Yellow shocks him back. The two soon run off- Oh wow, yartots have a machine gun for a cutlass handle. The others hear this and rush toward them.

Yellow and Degius revealed why they saved each other. Degius reveals his back story that he is from another world with family, he got tired of it one day, and joined the Barban. The others encounter Battobus and his squad before jumping forth to attack. The grunts get slashed while Yellow and Degius prepare for their final battle, bantering back and forth. Degius says he killed to many people to be redeemed and still intends to revive Daitanic. Yellow becomes enraged and transforms. Sword dueling ensues while Battobus easily takes down the others. Both swordsmen land hits on each other until the fight ends with Yellow winning and cutting Degius's sword. He begs to be killed, but Yellow gives him mercy because he sees honor and the heart of a warrior in him. However, Bezunera shoots a large dart of barba extract into his back, forcing Degius to become big. Once Battobus sees this he orders a retreat. Degius's body is moving on its own and Bezunera reveals the energy channeler in the left arm doubles as a remote control. Yellow tells the others and they summon their SBs to go Silver to form Gingaioh. Bezunera has Degius swing his wrecking ball, Gingaioh eventually being hit. Bitus sends out Rhinos for assistance although this does little thanks to Degius's eye lasers. The comet shows up and Degius gets hit by it, allowing it to rechannel toward Daitanic. After the blast he seems to be shaking and everyone is cheering save for Shelinda for some reason. Degius is about to die and thinks he betrayed another planet before falling and exploding, Yellow calling for his name. At sunset Yellow picks up half of his sword and plants it in the ground, proclaiming nobody deserves to die like he did. Next episode shows Battobus and Zahab fighting the Gingamen and the rise of Daitanic.

Degius: Powers include a spiked wrecking ball, a broadsword, and eye lasers
 
The Simpsons finally has Mr. Smithers coming out of the closet! Also here is the penultimate part of part 9!

Episode 41:

Daitanic continues shaking, Battobus checks if the seal is busted yet. Zahab notes the planet will end upon the revival. Windy thunderstorms cover the area, Gingamen and Mokk confirm Daitanic is coming which will be their hardest battle. Bucrates finds this out via a compass. New BB cannot sense it due to a lack of Earth Power. Battobus tells Zahab the seal is coming off swiftly which brings them great joy. The Gingamen head out into the storm, finding Yuuta who gives Red a handkerchef as a protective charm he has had with him for races and tests. They assure the boy they will win. Meanwhile, Bucrates is angry Battobus is more competent than him. New BB proposes beating Zahab before Daitanic revives. Bucrates points out that without Knight Ax mastery he cannot defeat Zahab and even threatens Gotaurus to stop the argument. Cut to the Gingamen running on a beach with rather calm water where Battobus finds them and intends to fight off with the help of yartots. They transform and give intros while slaughtering grunts. Radiant beast armor is called while Daitanic's flesh pushes off more stone. After the rest of the yartots are slain Bezunera shows up to complicate things, saying they should give up as he zaps them via lasers from a gun on the right wrist. Battonus uses a ground surge from his ax to senf them flying as earthquakes start. Daitanic's remaining stone finally busts off, creating a windy shockwave that goes far inland. Bucrates curses Zahab as Daitanic moves underwater.

Oh hey, new eyecatches. Battobus laughs maniacally as Daitanic reaches shore and stomps near the Gingamen. Zahab states Earth will suffer as Battobus and Bezuera simply walk away. The SBs and Bitus are called for, the former going Silver so Gingaioh can be formed while using radiant armor and the latter releasing Rhinos and Phoenix. A long combo sequence to show off a new insert song. Shelinda demands a ridiculous rampage as Daitanic tail smacks Rhinos and Phoenixs while biting the SA Sword in the middle of a Cutter. New BB and Bucrates look on from a distance as the three mechs are beaten hard. Bucrates just complains he cannot have revenge. Zahab shows up with his left hand cannon ready to fight them both. He prevents the two from running thanks to good jumping capabilities. Bucrates spills the beans about revenge and states he knows a way to beat him. Zahab demands he tries as he takes his cutlass out and New BB transforms with the Knight Ax in hand. The Gingamen notice this happening during the fight. New BB barely holds his own when Red shows up and not contribute much. New BB tries attacking only to get a mouth laser. Red tries using the Knight Ax only to get shocked, Zahab claiming nobody with Earth Power can touch it. Bucrates wants New BB to retreat while the three mechs are experiencing serious damage. Zahab uses Red's SB sword against him, giving him a gut stab. He sees Yuuta's charm that tells him not to lose. He grabs it before passing out. Gingaioh goes down before the power of Daitanic while Zahab prepares for a final stab, ending the episode on a cliffhanger. Next episode shows the SBs losing against Daitanic, Red in critical condition. and the return of BT.

Episode 42:

After a recap of last episode, New BB stop his brother from being stabbed only for Bucrates to entrap him in a light ring and teleport off. Rhinos bites of Rhinos's left arm and Gingaioh reverts back into the SBs, throwing the others out. Shelinda wants to aim for Green first when Battobus and Bezunera notice Daitanic's body heat increasing. Shelinda tails to care as Daitanic attacks Phoenix. Zahab returns and tells Shelinda to pull back for now, taking out the mech's right arm before doing so. Daitanic flies off while the Gingamen pass out and Bokk goes out to give them medical attention. Yuuta starts crying since they might be dying. Daitanic lands in the ocean which cools him down. Battobus scolds Shelinda and Zahab wants the castle released from their monster as an idea. He thinks they will become stronger. During this New BB and Bucrates bring Red back to a cave to help him out although the former Barban wants no part in it and walks away. New BB is called for soon after and he tells Red not to give up. New BB places Red's SB sword outside the cave for the others to find before catching up with Bucrates. Mokk locates the SB sword and Yuuta volunteers going despite the danger. Bokk uses medicine to recover the others while Yuuta locates Red, trying to wake him up. The boy treats Red's injuries while the yartots unscrew the castle from Daitanic's back. Mokk tells the others to prepare for a counterattack as even the SBs are trying to recover. Green thinks something is wrong and Bucrates tells New BB Daitanic's back became a weakness due to rot so striking there should work. The castle becomes detached, Daitanic heads to shore- Wait how would Mokk know this without trees in the ocean? The others transform and call for their SBs. Yuuta patches up Red's stab wounds and gives him medicine. He has flashbacks of last episode while unconscious.

Daitanic rampages through Tokyo, electric beam spamming not unlike a Godzilla movie. The SBs show up ready to fight Daitanic and fail horrifically. Bucrates tells New BB to use BT and releases Gotaurus on a time limit. New BB calms Gotaurus down before transforming. The SBs keeping going down while BT is formed with the Knight Ax in hand. Daitanic's whip tail prevents a back strike. Yuuta tries to make Red wake up as he thinks about defeat by Zahab before remembering his promise to protect the planet. He wakes up, promising he would not lose as the two hug each other in joy. Red seemingly teleports in to command his SB, leaving a burn mark on Daitanic's back. The SBs go Silver to combine into Gingaioh with radiant armor. Bitus flies in to send out repaired Rhinos and Phoenix. BT catches Daitanic's tail and chops it off before using the new Wild Bull Slasher to stun him. Rhinos and Phoenix execute a spin attack that goes through the monster. Gingaioh jumps toward Daitanic for the Cutter using the SA Sword, causing him to finally explode. The four mechs stand triumphant until BT teleports away. Gotaurus is back in the barrel and Bucrates states Zahab is next. The others head to Mokk's lair, Red is weak yet okay. The episode ends with Red proudly wearing the charm while the Barban are miserable until they start laughing out of what I will assume is insanity. Next episode shows the Gingamen looking at drawings.

Daitanic: Powers include space flight, swimming, a whip tail, mouth electric shocks, and an electric vortex beam from the mouth

Episode 43:

After a recap of last episode (I type that too often), Mokk tells the Gingamen the Barban must still be dealt with. Yuuta pops in to say Aoyama's picture book was finally published. Yellow opens it up so everyone can look. Bokk tries tickling Yellow which causes the pictures to spill everywhere. Green says they will put everything back together while they discuss the pictures in question.... And this is a clipshow, isn't it? First episode stock footage is inserted here. Mokk states they have quite the battle history that has allowed them to grow into the warriors they are now. Next up are various clips of intros and Green, Yellow, Pink Blue, and Red (in that order) using their special attacks and team weapons as well as Galio Pulsar. Bokk finds a picture of Zahab in Mokk's branches Green pulls out. Mokk knows Aoyama wanted to record the Barban since they were enemies and all as we then see the various field commanders and their squads. Gotta love how Battobus's picture has minions he has not used yet followed by a little of Daitanic.

Picture looking continues with Blue hiding one until Yellow and Pink expose it relates to his crush with Suzuko. Yuuta tells Blue he can have a copy as a present if he wants. After that is some stock footage of Red's pep talks to Yuuta. Somehow that changes way back to when Pink switched places with an actress, when Green was glued to Aoyama's hand, Blue's interactions with Suzuko, and.... Somehow nothing from Red and Yellow. They find a letter from Aoyama for each of them to draw something important to them so they draw their SBs although Red's art is.... Well it is better than mine, then again even Sonichu art looks like Van Goh compared to my drawings. Insert SB stock footage here complete with power demonstrations and becoming Gingaioh with its finishers. The steel SBs get their stock footage next. BT gets a bit right after although this one uses the Knight Ax from last episode rather than the Twin Bull Sword. Red mentions his brother next and BB and all the struggles in the first half of the series with that. After that is mainly about the Knight Ax and that New BB lost his Earth Power. Mokk and Green comfort him, the others saying they will beat the Barban. The episode ends with a music video of the opening theme that ends with hands together and Zahab mentioning a new power. Next episode shows more silliness with Blue and Suzuko.

Episode 44:

The Barban play poker, Zahab mentioning his plan will be happening soon. Yartots listen on a radio with an ultimate trump card being mentioned. Zahab wins poker while Shelinda has had no luck finding Bucrates. That morning New BB continues training with the Knight Ax which tires him. Bucrates states he is not ready for Zahab yet still. He will not tell him how to use it specifically for fear out of betrayal. At Club we see Blue cooking soup for everyone's lunch because it is the first meal of the new year. Aoyama walks in with a New Year's snack with Suzuko even coming over. Bokk alerts them to that teacher suitor (Mr. Kishimoto) from some episodes back who was apparently looking at their horses. Insert forced awkward comedy here. Lunch occurs after that, Mr. Kishimoto being freaked out by Bokk. AFter that Suzuko takes a bus home while Blue has the teacher approach him to become his apprentice. He wonders if a teacher can be a warrior so he decides to train under Blue who quickly helps a small girl recover her teddy bear. Mr. Kishimoto jolts off to buy her a bigger bear. The mom takes it and walks away with her daughter. Mr. Kishimoto goes on about how he must improve while Blue is forced to help some old man help loading oranges for some reason. An earthquake occurs which surprises even the Barban. Battobus summons Danks and a garrison of yartots to explain using a scroll that something is beneath the ground and they must retrieve it. Mokk notices this is no ordinary earthquake. The others note it is beneath the city. The citizens try heading for shelters as the faults repeat on and off. Blue holds up a piece of a ceiling for everyone to escape with Mr. Kishimoto trying to be a ham during it. The others show up to face Danks who claims they will not interfere. After the Gingamen transform and beat up yartots, Red goes for Danks only to get a torso cannon to bring him down. The civilians make it out, but Blue tries reaching for the teddy bear that small girl dropped again.

Danks overwhelms the others as the yartots activate a giant oil drill. Mokk is disturbed as gas is released from the hole. He warns the Gingamen of a monster beneath the Earth, specifically an Earth Monster. Apparently Daitanic's pieces rotted through the Earth to its core (technically outer mantle at most) to reform. Danks was tasked to make the now small monster grow using barba extract. Mr. Kishimoto wonders why Blue has not left yet as he finally grabebd the stuffed bear just in time. Mr. Kishimoto soon takes a hint as Blue barely gets up. Mr. Kishimoto gives the bear back to its owner after Blue runs off. Once the Gingamen are taken down the barba extract is sent through the well. They shoot at it via Kiba Blades, but it has a force field. Blue shows up just in time to beast blast it, but his arms ache from debris lifting. The others try helping out by delaying Danks. Mr. Kishimoto shows up to act as support for his beast striker. Mr. Kishimoto thinks he cannot be like Blue so he gives up. Blue charges his weapon up which starts to burn the teacher, but the charged up shots busts the well and its forcefield. Earth Monster runs away deeper underground and the Gingamen bring out their radiant beast armor to assault Danks followed by using the Galio Pulsar. Danks drinks barba extract to become kaiju sized, SBs are summoned to go Silver, and Gingaioh is formed with radiant armor. Danks charges, ramming into Gingaioh until Bitus sends out Rhinos for laser gun fire. Gingaioh then terminates Danks using the SA Sword to execute the Cutter. Blue wakes up Mr. Kishimoto to make sure he is okay. The episode ends with him being carried back and Earth Monster roaring to indicate the conflict remains strong. Next episode shows Pink being sad and Bokk in a backpack.

Danks: Only known power is a torso cannon

Episode 45:

After the narrator recites Earth Monster's origin we see the Gingamen at Club with Pink taking care of her horse until Bokk calls her to Mokk's lair. Some small girl with flowers shows up. Once there Mokk states that he cannot locate Earth Monster and that various plants can feel the effects of Earth Monster roaming about. For now they are keeping track of the Barban. Meanwhile, New BB takes out yartots that found Bucrates, encouraging them to move. Bucrates says New BB is almost ready while at the castle Battobus summons Chainsaws and a garrison once they have a reading. They are attempting to retry last episode's plan of using barba extract. During this Earth Monster makes his way through a city. The Gingamen head out while Pink meets with the small girl briefly only to head out. Chainsaws takes down a smokestack when the Gingamen arrive and lay the smackdown on yartots. Bezunera helps out carrying barba extract until Green shoots it. The small girl and Bokk show up, Pink attempts to cover her. The ground shakes once she touches the flower and the child's voice is mute. Bezunera notices this and Chainsaws is sent after her. He cuts a flower which causes her to disappear. Bezunera notes Earth Monster has moved and has the Barban retreat. Zahab throws a fit over this and wonders why Earth Monster fled. Bezunera thinks it is from flower girl and Shelinda mentions a type of alien flower. Mokk states she was a flower fairy. When the Barban first came to Earth they tried to eradicate a type of white flower and fairies used to use them. The girl Pink encountered was likely one of these legendary fairies. Mokk tells her to look for the flowers at Okudagawa River. Once there she is told the Barban are there too, spotting yartots with one carrying a flamethrower. They ignore her as she spots a spot of burnt ground, one flower turns into a flower fairy only to dissipate. She returns to Club with the others unsure how to comfort her. Pink understood she was trying to say"I want to help you", but did not realize it until it was too late. The men tell her not to beat herself up as she looks at the dead white flower. They walk off soon after, Green stating they should have faith in her when Mokk spots the Barban. Bokk tries talking to her as she uses Earth Power on the dead plant.

Earthquakes continue and Chainsaws saws open a manhole to a sewer. The men arrive for combat, taking circular saws to the torso. Bokk tries talking to Pink, saying he misses his parents since the Galaxy Forest sank. In a flashback Pink comforted him, saying his faith will help him smile. With that he has faith in her too. Pink thanks Bokk for reminding her and the flower somehow turns into a life crystal.... Whatever, Sentai confirmed Dracula was real in Sun Vulcan. The men are injured and Chainsaws pours barba extract down successfully which causes a mound to form. Pink and Bokk show up, the former transforming and planning to head for a nearby windmill as a new insert song plays. She duels with Chainsaws a bit and Bokk proves useful as his acorn head is made of the hardest wood in the Galaxy Forest. Once the pop song is gone Bokk carries the life crystal and Pink uses her Earth Power on it, causing a ray that nullifies the mound. Radiant beast armor is summoned to assault Chainsaws followed by the Galaxy Flash. Chainsaws drinks barba extract to become a giant followed by SBs being summoned to go Silver and form Gingaioh with radiant armor. Weapon clashing ensues, Chainsaws holds his own until Bitus sends out Phoenix to kick him down followed by using his boomerang. Gingaioh uses the SA Sword to execute the Cutter, blowing Chainsaws to smithereens. That night, Pink holds petals from the white flower until it blows into the wind. The spirit of the flower fairy briefly appears during the moment. Next episode shows Green fighting his dead girlfriend with Shelinda also involved.

Chainsaws: Powers include circular saws for the right hand and a circular saw in each shoulder
=================================================
Not counting eps 44 and 45 here. So ranger balance is kinda the same, otherwise nothing worth noting on the protagonist side other than Yuuta has proven to be quite the brave kid. I might as well mention that I think Galio Pulsar is under used, although to be fair most sentai vehicles have been since Goggle-V. For the antagonist side of things Battobus and Bezunera prove to be a surprisingly decent duo that actually manage to accomplish the goal of unsealing Daitanic. Somehow his back still rots even AFTER getting fed magical energy.... Which somehow messes with his body temperature. Dumb weakness aside the episodes featuring his revival were well done, but too short and should have been more akin to the final battle. Much like Megaranger they killed off the biggest threats too early, decreasing the stakes significantly. In theory anyway, this time his pieces form an offspring in the form of Earth Monster (wow Toei, couldn't think of a better name could you?). For Bucrates making an entire subplot that takes New BB away it does add some tension in and does make sense from character perspectives although the Gingamen not helping him out after Daitanic was taken down is kind of nonsensical. It seems like they are making Zahab the final boss, but with two planet killers before then it seems not as climactic in comparison. Shelinda is kind of useless and does nothing but complain.

With that all said does Daitanic add something to the Sentai mythos? Perhaps inadvertently he it fixes a huge mistake in Dairanger? Tune in for the conclusion some time later this week (not tomorrow).
 
Finish line crossed! Let us wrap this up in part final!

Episode 46:

Mokk and the Gingamen talk about stopping the Earth Monster from growing when Yuuta come sin with an abandoned dog. He figured they could help with it with Red stating they are fighting for everyone. Green thinks a rare type of grass should work. Cut to the castle where Battobus tells Zahab the next phase of his plan is ready. Bezunera states Earth Monster fled to Fukiwari Valley although it is too deep for a drill. With that said they plan to dump a barrel of barba extract this time. Shelinda pouts and walks off. Meanwhile, Bucrates has New BB cut a black stone that emits electric shocks upon impact. The stone is the life of a planet supposedly. During this Green finds only minute amounts of the grass usually found in the Galaxy Forest, insert flashback with him and his lady friend here. They talk about her not having as much Earth Power right before their wedding followed by tag and playing the flute to goats and rabbits. Wow that lens is foggy. Yuuta eventually collects enough just as Mokk spots the Barban. Green trusts Yuuta with the grass before heading off. The yartots are lead by Zakas and Green knocks out the one at the rear before telling Mokk their plans which he somehow knows. Shelinda shows up to stop his progress via using electricity to throw him. Green eventually manages to run off and Shelinda throws a fit, saying people like him should pay. She notices his pouch fell out and she finds a charm that was given to his dead woman friend who gave it to him in the flashback. The others face Zakas and his goons only to get beaten to a pulp. The are soon driven into a waterfall off a cliff. Green sees hallucinations of Miharu that walk toward him. The others he out of the water, somehow dry, as Zakas has yartots dump barrels of barba extract into a ravine. Also the hallucination turned out to be a fake as she pulls a knife on Green. The others look on wondering what the hell is going on. Mokk tells the Gingamen that the soil is rotting and the forest is dying thanks to the barba extract so they head off to fight Zakas.

Green holds his own against the fake who nearly kills a random rabbit. Shelinda shows up, revealing that this Miharu is her creation. The others interrupt Zakas's plan again, delaying his progress. Green is cornered toward a waterfall, has the same flashback, starts screaming, and uses his Earth Power on her. The fake passes out and turns to smoke. In the remains he finds his charm which the beads slide out. Shelinda laughs, stating it was amusing since he looked down on her after he scarred her armor. Green proclaims he will defeat her as he transforms and sword fighting ensues while Zakas takes down the others rather easily. An earthquake occurs, indicating Earth Monster is moving. Yellow shoots the remaining barba extract while Green continues to fight until Earth Monster causes a pillar to rise, throwing him off balance and sending him flying until Gingalcon saves him. Shelinda curses him before Green meets up with the others so they can use the radiant beast armor and use the Galaxy Flash- Wow that armor is thick. Green punches his pectoral guns so hard Zakas has to chug barba extract to grow giant sized. SBs go Silver to form Gingaioh with radiant armor. Zakas out maneuvers Gingaioh and knocks it down so Bitus sends out Rhinos to help out long enough for the SA Sword to execute the Cutter to end the fight. Green finds his pouch and places the repaired charm in it. Yuuta announces the dog is doing much better now as Green internally vows to return to the real Miharu. The episode ends with Bucrates telling New BB he must be ready for Zahab as he comments the Gingamen will beat Earth Monster just as he will beat Zahab. Next episode shows new Beast Strikers and Yellow being dragged by a jeep.

Zakas: Powers include a cutlass, eight cannons in each pectoral, and reinforced armor

Episode 47:

At the castle Zahab points out Battobus's failures and has Bezunera do a plan for once. Shelinda points out this is a great chance to take all the credit. Zahab reminds him that failure means death while Mokk tells the Gingamen Earth Monster is poisoning the inside of Earth. With that he thinks the Beast Strikers should be enhanced with Pink thinking he is over doing it. Cut to New BB still unable to wield the Knight Ax properly, Bucates being disappointed as he wraps ip his cut hand. After that we see Bezunera telling some yartots to move canisters of barba extract while he uses a remote controlled device to find Earth Monster. The Gingamen show up to take down the yartots when Earth Monster is spotted nearby. Yellow attacks him which causes him to lose track while Red steals the device. Yellow assaults him until Red stops him. He wants Bezunera to start talking and he promises to do so in exchange for living. He tells them the device is used to locate Earth Monster and call him. Mokk tells them the Beast Strikers have now been upgraded. The Gingamen discuss where to draw him out while Bokk delivers the Beast Strikers as Mokk rests. Bezunera undoes his chains and runs off, Yellow going after him so the others don't waste time. However, Battobus catches Yellow and slams him so he can be tied up and attacked to a jeep. Bezunera reveals that what the others have is a fake transmitter that is really a remote bomb. The jeep drives off with Yellow being dragged behind as the vilains laugh. Bokk gives the others their weapons and flies off. Yellow manages to bite hite ropes off and escape. He tries calling Mokk, but he is asleep so he runs for it until the Barban spot him. Bezunera shoots at him while the fake transmitter deceives the other sinto thinking Earth Monster is closing in. Yellow jumps off a cliff just as Earth Monster shows up only to reveal it was a drill that acts as a detonator. The bomb explodes, Yellow seeing the explosion.

Yellow sees the remains of the transmitter bomb and becomes saddened. The Barban show up so Bezunera can kick him followed by chaining him over a pool of barba extract. The plan is to have Earth Monster eat barba extract and Yellow before Bezunera just walks off to lure him out. Earth Monster begins to show up while Yellow uses Earth Power in an attempt to escape. He thinks about the others as his lightning charges, soon shocking the Barba to scare off Earth Monster. He transforms and attacks Bezunera, dropping him into the tiny pool. He gets out of it, but mutates into a yautja. He restrains Yellow long enough for Battobus to attack, but the others show up near a cliff, somehow surviving. Not-Predador attacks them before they use radiant beast armor. Bezunera proves to be too tough for normal means, even able to swipe away at the Galaxy Flash. Green gives Yellow his new Beast Striker. The Gingamen fire all at once which forms an energy ball that actually hurts him. He begs Battobus to save him, but he just gives him barba extract via a dart gun. This causes him to become kaiju sized while SBs are summoned to go Silver and combine into Gingaioh with radiant armor. Bezunera has them on the ropes, but Bitus shows up to fire a pair of laser cannons from its underside and sends out Rhinos and Phoenix. The steel SBs go on full melee and use their spin attack followed by the SA Sword using the Cutter to cause him to explode. The Gingamen return to Mokk's lair, Yuuta saying he just woke up. They thank him while he states he is still recovering. The episode ends with Mokk going back to sleep. Next episode shows Earth Monster surfacing.

Bezunera: Powers include a pair of laser guns on the right wrist, reinforced armor, and tentacles from the right hand that emit electricity

Episode 48:

Trees turn purple and break off while fish die. This is the work of Earth Monster whose corrupting pollution is now surfaceborne. Red notices a leaf fall off Mokk and asks if he is okay. The Gingamen give him some Earth Power to make him feel better. After that we see Bucrates and New BB in a cabe talking about beating Zahab when a yartot spots them. At the castle Mizarusu gets a squad of yartots while Battobus tells Zahab he can handdle it without Bezunera. The plan is just hit Earth Beast with barba extract and Mizarusu is loaded with it. The spy yartot tells Shelinda where Bucrates is and Battobus wants the chance to beat the former Gingaman. Zahab grants him permission while Bokk tries spending time with Mokk to make him feel easy. He senses the Barban as Mizarusu prepares to fire missiles. The Gingamen arrive just before Earth Monster travels underground. The Barban ignore them and the Gingamen have their suits removed via black cloud. Mokk says their power is being corrupted thanks to Earth Monster. This hurts them and Mokk wonders what to do. Bucrates and New BB are attacked by a chest of dynamite that causes a cave in. Battobus taunts Bucrates while New BB wakes up near a waterfall. Mokk finds him and tells the others. Red tells him not to tell New BB since they have to defeat the Barban in their own way. New BB travels down the rapids and Mokk tells New BB anyway who claims he is not going to help since Zahab can create more monsters (somehow). Battobus finds New BB and wants to fight so he transforms and proceeds to duel. During this Earth Monster surfaces in a tunnel and melts a guy's car. Mokk tells the Gingamen he is going to try to absorb the corruption into himself since he is a protector of Earth too. He begins to do so, absorbing the acid of Earth Monster into himself, saving nature in the process.

Earth Monster is greeted by Mizarusu when the Gingamen show up to fire beast strikers at both of them. Earth Monster flees and Mizarusu proceeds to attack them once the Gingamen transform with intros. Mokk becomes purple as his leaves fall off while the Gingamen take out grunts. Mizarusu fights back as Mokk's branches come off and New BB ax duels with Battobus. Mizarusu uses his back missile on them which they dodge and Red uses his Galio Pulsar to ram into him. Mizarusu grows via barba extract to attack them while New BB shoots at Battobus. Gingaioh rushes toward Mizarusu (without radiant armor this time) and gets grabbed as the barban monster threatens to self destruct. Bitus sends out Phoenix to help. Mizarusu is detained long enough for the SA Sword to be used to execute the Cutter right before the self destructing, slaying Mizarusu. The Gingamen hurry back as Mokk is dying before the eyes of Yuuta and Bokk. Both express sadness for the withering wisdom tree. Soon he turns into gold just as the sun begins to set and the Gingamen run in slow motion. Mokk says the time he spent with them was fun. By the time the Gingamen return their mentor is gone, his leaves and a seed being all that remain of him. Sad music plays as the Gingamen come to the tragic realization of what happened. The episode ends with Bucrates making out of the cave only for Shelinda to find him and stab him in the gut as New BB is unable to find him. Next episode shows a shack exploding and Battobus facing the Gingamen.

Mizarusu: Powers include a back missile, guns on each wrist, and self destructing
Earth Monster: Powers include burrowing and mouth acid that can corrupt soil

Episode 49:

After a recap of last episode we see New BB firing at Shelinda, somehow saving Bucrates. Battobus returns to Zahab to hear the new his last monster fell in combat. He points out they are officially out of pirates and throws a fit, demanding Battobus do something. He says he will bring Earth Monster under their control. That morning Pink tells Bokk that Mokk will return to the Galaxy Forest one day. The others figured out how to draw out Earth Monster, specifically using the Roaring Mountain their Ginga Braces were from to lure him. At a shack New BB attends to Bucrates's stab wound. He says he is done for anyway and tells Zahab's weakness. In the right side of his chest is a planet life stone, like the many he used with Daitanic. The SBs gave him a mortal wound that Bucrates healed using the life of his own planet which grants him infinite energy, something only a weapon like the Knight Ax can break. The planet life stone used for practice is his own home world. Cut to yartots getting off a truck to locate Earth Monster for Battobus. He strikes the ground with his ax which causes a massive subway disaster. The Gingamen head to Roaring Mountain when Aoyama tells them what Battobus is doing. Suzuko shows up to say bye to them especially Blue. They rush off to the woods while Shelinda hunts down New BB. The others face Battobus and his squad while Red heads to Roaring Mountain. Wow Blue, had to aim for the groin, didn't you? Red makes it, spotting a totem at the top. He enters a cave where the SB statues are when he falls through the floor. Shelinda spots the shack, Bucrates gives the barrel with Gotaurus and tells him to leave as he intends to blow himself up with a bomb with the yartots. Just as the mooks walk in New BB escapes and the shack explodes, ending the life of the old alien. Meanwhile, Red figures out what happened to him, seeing a strange seal that turns out to be a button that opens a secret passage. He is blown into it, barely able to hang onto the door edge followed by the sandy floor that leads outside. He comes to realize this is the mountain's scream.

The others and Battobus hear the wind screaming which lures Earth Monster away. The Barban note this and Battobus fires a mouth laser at the others before jeep driving away. The others use Gingalcon and Red is saved by New BB just in time as he uses a rope line to pull him out. Once in the cave Red tells New BB the plan who apologizes for worrying them. He then states he knows how to beat Zahab while Battobus and the others makes it to Roaring Mountain. The Gingamen transform to fight, Battobus easily taking them on once the grunts are slaughtered. Shelinda shows up to harass Green because forced drama. Lots of fighting ensues, Green gets injured yet willing to fight. One slice latter Shelinda falls and her sword does nothing, dying under the delusion she won before exploding. Battobus becomes angry once Green joins the others, but earthquakes ensue as Earth Monster arrives. He uses the barba extract himself and gets eaten by Earth Monster head first. What a random turn of events. The Gingamen use Earth Power on the creature at maximum power which seems to work until it grows thanks to barba extract. Props to the prop department, the drool is convincing. Earth Monster uses a mouth fire ball, forcing the SBs to be called and form Gingaioh with radiant armor and BT. Earth Monster inhaled part of the Roaring Mountain, concluding he could eat the world. The yartots inform Zahab about this and how Battobus was eaten as well as Shelinda dying, leaving only her rapier. He commands the last of his yartots to head out as he flies the castle toward the battle. Next episode shows New BB fighting Zahab and the four mechs fighting Earth Monster.

Battobus: Powers include an ax, mouth energy balls, and mouth lasers

Episode 50:

After a recap of last episode the mechs go after Earth Monster. New BB states it was born to destroy planets and Green reminds them a new monster will be reborn from its remains. Red says they have to burn it to save the world so he channels his fire into the SA Sword.... Which does nothing. Rhinos and Phoenix try to help only to receive electric shocks and are nearly eaten alive. BT stops them from being eaten, but Zahab's castle fires lasers at them soon after. He attaches the castle to Earth Monster's head, making its claws grow as the derranged captain wants his debt with them to end. Earth Monster is controlled, uses fire balls, and overwhelms the mechs. The GB is brought out for the Meteor Blast only to be directed back at them. BT fights the beast only to get clawed up. The Knight Ax is used on the castle which does delayed damage. Gotaurus has to separate from New BB while Zahab is thrown out of his exploding castle. New BB fights him on the ground, Knight Ax in hand, and remembers what Bucrates said. However, the vile captain is still a formidable opponent. The Gingamen put their hands together to increase Red's fire power as do the steel SBs (where is Bitus in all this?). Charging up ensues and New BB gets his rear handed to him. Zahab points out his planet jewel is not in his torso while Gingaioh emits a massive flame barrage on Earth Monster. They band together, eventually causing the creature to disintegrate. Zahab takes it out on New BB until the Gingamen show up to help. Zahab says he will make them regret it while laughing they cannot beat him. He states he will make a new monster when he kills them followed by a mouth laser that knocks them down. They jump forward to assault him, New BB landing a hit, but the mouth laser destroys the ax. Zahab then uses his hand cannon, forcing them to untransform while Aoyama drives Yuuta and Bokk to the battlefield to cheer them on. New BB can barely stand, Zahab cutting him down quickly although Red's flames stop him from landing the finishing blow. The Gingamen vow he will not leave the planet as they charge in as humans.

Red gets New BB to a safe spot, but demands to go fight too. Even with nothing left he wants to protect the planet. Red says he still has Earth Power inside of him as long as he has love for the planet. This was the same lesson given in the first episode New BB gave to Red. Zahab gones on about planets being useful only to plunder, but the refute that while their allies look on from a cliffside to cheer them on. Zahab aims his hand cannon for them when the two brothers appear, using their Earth Power to engulf Zahab in flames. His planet jewel turned out to be in the center of his chest and breaks. The Gingamen transform once more, orchestral opening theme playing, intros given, and lyrics sang. The radial beast armor is summoned forth as Zahab charges. New BB lands his hit followed by the Galaxy Flash. Red assaults him to land the final blow as Zahab explodes upon his fall, leaving only his hook. Aoyama, Yuuta, and Bokk run up to them congratulating the Gingamen. Over the horizon the Galaxy Forest emits light, they hurry to the area to see what is going on. Beneath the lake their home rises from the waves. The villagers awaken to greet their warriors home including Miharu. Ohgi says they did well and everyone applauds. Aoyama briefly mentions how people and the planet are connected as the Gingamen run back into their home. The ending theme plays, Mokk is replanted and turned back to normal, glad to see everyone alive. The SBs are sketched by Aoyama, Blue shows Suzuko around, and Red plays with Yuuta. They have a moment where Yuuta is sad they won't see each other everyday, but Red says they will always be there as the others show up. Everyone gets close ups of them running and Bokk is on a swing, hoping we will meet again.

Giant Earth Monster: Powers include mouth fire balls, mouth suction, electric shocks, and extendable claws that fire energy blasts
Zahab: Powers include a cutlass, a cannon in the left hand hand hook, and mouth lasers
=================================================
Ranger balance was reasonable, Green, Blue, and Yellow were behind by one centric episode in an otherwise even balance. Mokk giving up himself to save the Earth and succeeding with what little he could have done elevated him to one of the best sentai mentors ever. The rest of the cast was perfectly fine and they did well with what little power they had too, giving an underlying theme of "nobody is useless, everyone has power" which is what both sentai and environmental messages stand for, which works really well here. Everything leading up to the final battle and the fights themselves were well done and had the type of pacing the 80s series used to have. Top that off with a happy ending, what could go wrong? Sadly this series does have problems, not serious, but enough to knock it down a peg or two. First was the cinematography, second worst only to Jetman since it insists on using really blurry lens for no good reason. Second are the villains' treatment. Zahab got what he deserved, but Shelinda was barely much of anything aside from pouting a lot, being a hater, and harassing Green for no reason other than breast plate damage. She comes across as very useless. Battobus had an unfitting end as monster chow, he was a hammy yet hard as nails nails warriors that could have been used as a mini-boss for New BB to defeat before going after Zahab. Daitanic dying came too early and it felt like Earth Monster was more of a "painfully slow" killer rather than the planet muncher Daitanic was, the stakes did not seem as high although props to the writers for legitimately trying to make it work and in tone with the rest of the series. The subplot of Bucrates holding Gotaurus hostage so New BB could work as his hitman mostly worked except it felt like it was padded out across too many episodes. Out of the villain deaths, it was nice to have one of the mains go out with a bang and still find redemption for himself. Finally, seriously where was Bitus during the final battle? It makes no sense for him not to provide air support! This is not going into all the forced eye rolling comedy. Honestly, if they fixed all of these, this might have been almost as good as Changeman or even its successor as top sentai, no joke. Sadly all the flaws and misgivings did add up over time.

With that all said this series does confirm an idea that the Super Sentai mythos has danced around, but barely explored on: The idea of stars emitting magic as well as other types of radiation. Dairanger and Carranger already hinted at this, but Gingaman brings up the point of these stars forming new life forms (the SBs) to guard the planets around their orbits. Between the Earth Power and other forms of energy, both magic and natural, it gives off the idea that stars themselves are diverse like humans and emit a wide array of power and planets do this too (Changeman brought this up with Earth, Gingaman confirms other planets are also alive). So much so one could see some stars or even constellations as "adopting" planets in their orbit and treat as their offspring while planets themselves treat their lifeforms as their children of sorts in a hierarchy of cosmic family. In order for them to survive the harsh cosmos/raise them right they form their own lifeforms and Earth is insanely diverse example. It brings new meaning to the Sun Vulcan opening lyrics about the Sun being a source for all life, doesn't it? So what is the point of that fan theory?

Remember my giant rant when I finished Dairanger about how DaiRyuJin made no sense in the overall scheme of the sentai mythos? Now look at Daitanic, a monster that eats planets, easily defeats SBs on them without care, if killed he can reform into a new monster with highly corrosive and corruptible properties, and is controlled by malicious pirates (and since Metal Heroes is in the same timeline there is no shortage of ultra-advanced crime syndicates, who is to say the Barban were not just an early example?). Zahab has shown this monster was successful in consuming at least a dozen planets and Bezunera confirms that any surviving SBs are converted into weapons against their will. So yeah, heinous actions to star spawn. Who else were star spawn? The Ki beasts in Dairanger and DRJ. Now look back to previous sentai and compare to the methods the Barban try to revive Daitanic with. No other energy could be used by a sentai team could revive Daitanic, most of it is usually man-made or the alien produced ones are not able to be used. If they wanted a quick way to do it they'd need one of two teams to make it reasonable: The Maskmen and the Dairangers since they supply their own internal power like the Gingamen; the Turborangers I don't count because it is reasonable to assume fairy magic would be suppressed by intense pollution which was the reason the Bomas escaped their seals. The Maskmen's aura power comes from them being calm and retaining their spirit while Ki and Yo power from the Dairangers and the Shura (respectively) can be released more passionately and could be easier to acquire through say trickery. They don't have enough power to destroy the planet BUT they do wield enough power to revive Daitanic! In fact they do fit the bill for the type of immense yet controllable energy that would be ideal in the unsealing. You can easily make the argument that DRJ stepped in to make sure that if the Barban return they can't continue their space rampage and as the first episode has shown, enough earthquakes would eventually awaken them; hell, considering how the Yo wielders are more brash it makes sense he would keep an eye on them more. Considering all the massive earthquakes that happened in the franchise (especially from the Tube and Bandora Gang) they likely would have played a role. It also makes sense why DJR did not go after other bigger threats like Gozma, Vulgyre, or Exhaus, if they would have destroyed the planet it is reasonable to assume Daitanic would have been destroyed with it.

So yes, this gives much needed depth to the mythos and makes a previous plot point covered! Now for rankings before you guys hurl your guts out from all that fanboy nonsense!

Gingaman vs. Megaranger coming soon!
 
Wow that was quick!

Gingaman vs. Megaranger:

The narrator starts off that thanks to the Gingamen the Earth is at peace. Now they lead quiet lives and that the SBs will soon be returning to Earth. Mokk is enjoying the tranquility with the Gingamen and Yuuta. However, Mokk notes something is coming! Insert the opening! A come comes close to Tokyo until it crashes into a building. Out of it comes a new Daitanic! The Gingamen are surprised by this as it causes a rampage. They transform to fight it when its master, a space pirate named Gregory, flies down to fight. Onc ethe Gingamen are beaten to a pulp, Gregory is attacked by Mega Red. The two duel followed by beast striker spam. The new Daitanic, revealed to be named Gelmadic, is then attacked by Bitus as the sunlight somehow disappears. Rhinos and Phoenix are next to be sent into action to fight. After weapon spam and the spin attack, the steel SBs proceed to explode somehow. Gregory has his castle fly away to an island. Since Gelmadic is injured, Hizumina checks in to make sure nothing is around. She proposes erecting a planetary barrier to keep the SBs out. Gregory wants to resurrect Zahab, but cannot unlike his crew because she has no data on him. The deal in return is that he will revive the Nezirejia. Insert flashbacks of Hizumina remembering her dad, Dr. Hinelar. Meanwhile, the Gingamen learn about Mega Red and the Megaranders while he is wowed by the Galaxy Forest. Mokk says there was a legend about an evil man sealed in space before the Barban came that was just as fearsome. Gelmadic and the castle are nowhere to be seen while Red says to come with him. During this Gregory uses a ritual to resurrect monsters in coffins, one being Shelinda. At Meiho University the Gingamen are made fun of due to clothes. He takes Ginga Red's clothes and somehow gets street clothes for the others. Ginga Green is not impressed. At the computer science lab Mega Yellow is introduced. She cannot find them either with INET tech since the barrier took affect. The Gingamen think Gregory is behind it when she wants to study their Ginga Braces as Hizumina watches in disguise. Outside Mega Red says there are others like him while Mega Yellow does tests. Hizumina takes the Ginga Brace and runs off. She tells the others and Red uses a boomerang to stop her. Hizumina drops her disguise and reveals she was Dr. Hinelar's last android. Insert flashback of Megaranger's last episode here. Bibidevi used the last of his strength to teleport her in her container away just before he fried. Gregory shows up, saying he was sealed away for five thousand years and she collided with him in his space drift. Now he will get revenge on the SBs while Hizumina will also get revenge. Ginga Red gets chopped up before we see the old Barban generals and Shelinda show up to fight. Theey threaten to kill Ginga Red it they cannot have his Ginga Brace. New BB shows up with Gotaurus to save his brother (turns out he remained on Earth). The villains teleport off and Ginga Red collapses. He is rushed to a hospital, the two Megarangers apologizing, but he states they did fine. An earthquake then occurs, Mokk revealing Gelmadic is using Earth Power to heal itself. The others tell their leader to take it easy while the other SBs cannot get passed the barrier. The Ginga Brace is placed in Gregory's sword for the ritual, Hizumina takes his sword for her dad will be the sole ruler of the cosmos. However, Shelinda slashes her in the back to take Gregory's sword back easily.

Mokk senses it out at sea and tells the others. That is when Megas Black, Blue, and Pink show up to help with a device that can locate the Ginga Brace. Red uses this as a chance to sneak out with them. On the island Zahab is finally revived. Turns out the two captains are brothers and willing to fight. Mega Red catches Ginga Red sneaking out, understands his plight, and lets him come. The others are on a boat when Mega Red tells them to go one without them- Wait, can't they use their cyber sliders? Actually there is a reason for that, Mega Black is using his laptop to trace the magic. Also antics with Mega Pink because why not? Come to think of it where is Mega Silver? The two reds go off a cliff due to an earthquake while on a motorcycle. Ginga Red can barely hang on while Mega Red fails to transform to help. During this Oniwa Island is revealed to be the place Gregory is who is ready to send his crew out. Gelmadic is revealed by Gregory to be a demon and since he is the same species as Daitanic, yeah I can buy it. Both teams encounter yartots and take them down. The two brothers head outside a cave, Gregory causing a tremor via his sword and states Gelmadic is absorbing energy under the planet's crust. New BB transforms and followed by the Megarangers and Gingamen. The generals attack and bring them down hard while the two reds cyber slide their wat in and Ginga Red gets his Ginga Brace back after releasing an ember from his hands. After that is transforming time and intros, making Mega Silver's abscence even more noticeable. Gregory teleports in a good chunk of the barban monsters from throughout the series. Mass fighting ensues in sync with the music. The Megarangers beam spam the crew into exploding before hte Gingamen handle the leaders. Hizumina attacks the Megarangers despite still smoking. She wades through them easily, Red managing to land a slash and a stab only to be strangled. Eventually she falls and explodes. This is followed by Gilmadic, now blue instead of red, coming to the surface. GM is summoned by Red after a quick combo sequence with Base and Ship. Gregory becomes big to join in the fight followed by BT. The BR and GS to little against Gilmadic's force field. INET contacts the Megarangers telling them that the barrier will be broken by Gregory's castle and a nearby satellite can be used to redirect their Earth Power to it. The Barban try to stop them as Gregory and Gilmadic prove too much for the mechs. The radiant beast armor is called for to use the Galaxy Flash, destroying the six of the form good. The Earth Power is redirected by the satellite, causing Gregoy's castle and barrier to go down. The SBs come in like comets and ready to battle. The Gingamen jump on, have them go Silver, and they fuse to become Gingaioh with radiant armor. The three mechs use their finishers to end the fight, blowing Gregory and Gilmadic to smithereens. The Megarangers show the Gingamen how to use a computer in the Galaxy Forest and the two reds bond a bit with each liking an aspect of the other before lying in the grass. Ginga Blue throws a pole and the reds race as the end credits roll, the race ending in a draw.

Gelmadic: Powers include flight, a mouth heat beam, burrowing, regeneration, and an energy field
Gregory: Power include enrgy ball traveling, a cutlass that emits electric shocks, five anchors in the left arm, and mouth lasers
Hizumina: Powers include a human disguise, a rapier, finger energy blasts, and exhaust breath



This can fit into the main continuity just fine, no issues for a change much like JAKQ vs. Gorenger. Granted it was not as interesting, Mega Silver was absent for no reason, and now this brings up the question as to whether or not the steel SBs are dead (they survived worse, I don't think they are), but at least you find out what happened to Bibidevi and it does respect both stories. Plus no rape ghosts! GoGo-V will be taken on some time later, this month I am about to hit my 1000th anime title and it has been 10 years since I first got into Evangelion so I'd like to make this occasion special! You can see progress via my MAL profile: http://myanimelist.net/profile/DuelGundam2099 Once the 1000 line has been crossed and I clear out other miscellaneous things we will go into the final entry in the franchise that is not fully subbed as of now! Also another poll will be conducted.
 
Aside from Jetman, Kakuranger, and Megaranger I enjoyed them. With that said....

Ladies and gentlemen, we are finally taking on the final Super Sentai of the 20th century, the one and the only GoGo-V (Five).

8347582371238532723580.png


"Lemme guess ten parts with five episodes each again?"

Correct!

"And monster of the week crap?"

Not crap and righto!

"But aren't you trying to get to your 1000th anime title?"

I'm almost to that point and while that takes more priority I wanted to start this to get it done quicker.

"Tell me about GO GO FIBER!"

555 is Japan's equivalent to 911 and the title has been around since Goggle-V as unused until now. It is also the last series to get high ratings similar to its glory days since supposedly Timeranger caused a ratings and sales dips with Gaoranger onward barely maintaining a downward pace.

"Movies when?"

The main movie will be done in part 4 and the versus movie with Gingaman will be done at the end.

"And opinions?"

Since every major event in this series is close to the tens time tables (10, 20, 30, and 40) I figured I might as well give opinions after every even part (2, 4, 6, 8, and final).

"Wait, this series is not done being subbed yet!"

For those that are reading into the future at the time of this post the sub group Imagination Station, who also did Abaranger in its entirety, is currently nine tenths the way through subbing GoGo-V with only five episodes remaining. While real life was the main issue for not getting here as fast, one of the reasons I slowed down the take ons was because this series was having episodes subbed on a weekly basis and by the time we got here I figured they would be done or within the finale. However, they decided to sub the currently airing Precure series so that set plans back a bit. Because of this the reviews will definitely slow down, at the very least we may have to wait a while before part final. Either that or find raws and do guess work.

"Saima, Psyma, or Catastrofiend?"

Psyma, I'd rather not type more letters.

"What did you mention about more polling a while back?"

Fellow readers.... I do not have the mental strength to constantly keep doing this. Counting this series that is 23 full television shows (minus Zyuranger and Dairanger) and over a dozen movies of constantly typing down plot stuff, do proper research to make sure things are accurate, catching everything I can, find humor in it, list monster of the week powers, and let it swim around in my head until I give out whatever you view my opinions as. It may not seem like it, but seeing so much Sentai in such a short span of time while having to do all that not only gets grating, but at the same time it does distract me from other things I want to do. I have more hobbies than just watching tokusatsu. Since I do intend to keep my promise of at least getting to Gokaiger after the Carranger poll I would like you guys to do another poll. Remember the Zyuranger and Dairanger reviews? Just monster listings and opinions? Well in this straw poll you now have the option of deciding the future of this topic. Keep things the same or make things simplistic? If the latter would you want them divided into halves like Zyuranger and Dairanger or into thirds or quarters? I don't think I can give enough material if I divide them into fifths.

http://strawpoll.me/7358376

I will point out this ONLY covers the series, movies and specials will still be given the proper synopsis treatment regardless of the outcome. If the poll reaches to anything other than "keep it exactly the same" I will be holding another poll when we take on Timeranger: Should Gaoranger be given the current treatment? It is the 25th anniversary series and every sentai after it was modeled after its collectable toy marketing idea. Should Boukenger and Gokaiger ALSO get the current synopsis treatment?

"Why is Timeranger a specific milestone for you?"

When I first started this topic most of the series covered here either had no subs at all or so little they barely qualified as such. Timeranger is the last Super Sentai series not to be fully subbed properly, after it EVERY entry is subbed in English. Hell, right now we have nearly made it through the franchise's entire run in the 20th century and since Timeranger was conceived then you could make the argument that it is a spiritual farewell to the past and into the uncertainty of tomorrow. Over half the franchise has been covered at this point, after Timeranger there is no real reason to use this topic, you can easily get your information on anything from Gaoranger onward just by watching it. If there is one or more series you guys want me to get into, be it to praise your favorite entry or rip into your least favorite, do not be afraid to speak up, but now is the best time voice it.

All I ask for this poll is for honesty and to consider what I wrote. The poll will end when we get to GoGo-V vs. Gingaman.
=================================================
Episode 1:

So blue comes before green this time. According to the narrator the Solar System is about to form the Grand Cross, signaling a terrible omen. A CGI comet crashes in a city and firefighters scramble to the scene. The firefighter captain heads into a burning apartment to rescue survivors. He finds a passed out woman and manages to carry her out. Another one uses an extinguisher to put out a nearby car fire. A rescue helicopter flies overhead while fighting an updraft. A cop tells a crowd to calm down as a nurse attends to some survivors. That morning things seem to calm down as the meteor remains intact. The two firefighters, pilot, cop, and nurse gather around, here we find out the five know each other, noting that meteorite is not normal. It erupts, unleashing a giant monster (named Magma Golem, but we don't know that in this episode) that starts attacking the area. After that the five are napping in an apartment when a robot named Mint wakes them up. They wonder where they are when someone talks to them, the five soon finding out via TV screen it is their father. He apparently he was gone for ten years. Professor Mondo Tatsumi states the monster is the herald of the Grand Cross omen while a gigantic base called the Liner Launch Base rises from Bay Area 55. The professor says he was making this base for the past ten years while Mint points out the lava monster is still rampaging the area. Just as his kids tell him off he reveals he has the proper equipment for the job. Mint gives them the GoGo Braces that quickly attach to their wrists. A secret room opens up, they go inside to travel in a tramp underwater that leads to Liner Launch Base or LL Base as I will call it from now on. The siblings turn on their braces to become GoGo-V. Their vehicles, the GoLiners, are on standby until the siblings activate laser grips. This has the base erect a bridge from the ocean with the five trains launching. Upon launching they connect into one train that speeds past through the city including a bullet train. Once it stops the Rescue Machines go into action out of the GoLiners. Red spots a skyscraper on fire.

Nice eyecatch. The Rescue Vehicles surround the lava and the professor tells them to combine into Victory Walker. Mint makes a snide remark as the siblings attempt to combine. Blue, Yellow, and Pink have their vehicles combined into the two legged machine thanks to Green, allowing them to nullify the magma via chemical cannons while Red goes in for the rescue. Yellow and Pink join him via a pair of ladders with giant hands. Upon falcon punching in they split up to search for survivors. Yellow attempts an elevator rescue, but that fails so Red and Pink have to open a door while in an inferno. The dad tells them to call Life Bird, a robotic bird that gives them weapons. In Red's case a drill and Pink a discharger that extinguishes flames. The elevator door is opened, but the monster returns out of I'll assume boredom. The civilians are taken down to street level just in time. Red is a hard time back away due to debris until Green bails him out. The professor tells them to combine into Victory Robo when Red asks how to beat it. The kaiju interrupts the combination and green fires lasers at him in retaliation. The combination is a success as it wades through meteors. An attack called the Serial Ladder Bomber, long range punches, are executed which does hurt it followed by throwing it in a technique called the Serial Wheel Crash. This causes the monster to blow up. The episode ends with the five rescue siblings marching in their rescue gear. What a silly ending theme. Next episode shows a shuttle falling and the premier of the Psyma Family.

Magma Golem: Powers include meteorite traveling, launching body meteors, and lava blood

Episode 2:

A blue meteorite crashes into the Arctic to form a demonic palace called the Psyma Paradico. In it we find out the monster last episode was Magma Golem as the demons inside look at this via illusion screen. In the palace we are met by Cobolda, Denus, Drop, Pierre, and Zylpheeza as the leader. Save for Pierre the four demons are the offspring of Grandiene who they are trying to summon with Earth being the ideal holy ground to go it on. Pierre is tasked raising a psyma beast from a card via throwing it into a demon face in the wall which is a portal to the Dark Realm. With some lightning we get Tornadeus. Cut to the siblings who find out they were fired thanks to their dad which ticks them off. I swear Green and Yellow have the exact same hair. After some bickering the professor walks in for tofu and miso soup. Red points out he is eating their food and either Green or Yellow throw a fit. The TV is turned on a news report goes on about a pilot named Kyoko Hayase who is in a space shuttle called the Mahoroba. Green knows this as one of his friends- Oh so it wasn't Yellow afterall. Suddenly fish is thrown through the window and the siblings see a bunch of macherel near the door. A tornado is spotted across the bay, Mint noting there is an energy signature in it. GoGo-V heads out to rescue people from the tornadic winds. Zylpheeza makes himself know via illusion of his head, proclaiming himself the ruler of the Dark Realm and a member of the Psyma. He demands love and peace be replaced with fear and destruction before Tornadeus continues his rampage. The siblings noted that their mom used to say they can conquer anything as a family and proceed to transform with intros. The siblings use their Five Lasers on Tornadeus, forcing him to stop using his tornado and fight. Imps are summoned from the ground and charge with their swords. GoGo-V fights back with their five lsers in stick mode followed by laser fire and general melee using their belt ropes. Red fights with Tornadeus, soon using an abandoned car to ram into him followed by a flip over, awesome. Tornadeus gets up only to get shot so he uses his tornado again. This catches the shuttle Mahoroba gets caught in it; also the NASADA company that helped INET from the first episode of Megaranger can be seen in the cockpit, confirming a little continuity.

Red summons Life Bird so everyone gets their weapons set up to form a the Calamity Breaker. Tornadeus is busted to pieces when Mint tells them Mahoroba will crash. Mint launches the GoLiners. Pierre uses a card to revive Tornadeus at full strength as the Mahoroba loses altitude. Green manages to use his Rescue Machine to guide and stabilize the spacecraft. The others block up traffic and Pink has the highway evacuate via storing the vehicles within her Rescue Vehicle. Kyoko states the landing gear is not working and Yellow intends to be uses as said gear when it lands. Kyoko hears them refer to each other by name and- THEY DID NOT TELL YOU THEY WERE SIBLINGS! Proof reading, folks! Green releases the Mahoroba and Yellow catches it, barely able to maintain balance at the edge of the highway. During this Tornadeus's pieces turn into bats thanks to the revive card, amplifying his power by ten thousand thanks to the flames of destruction. Red gets the shuttle down to a field when the psyma beast shows up. Victory Robo, or VR as I will call it from now on, is formed from combination of the Rescue Vehicles. Gotta love the correct amounts of silliness involved. Tornadeus goes Fujita Five on GoGo-V which fails as the Serial Ladder Bomber is used followed by the Ladder Wheel Crash to blow him up- No, wait, he lives! Red asks if the Psyma are immortal, the professor replying they are a collection of minus energy (subbed as negative energy for some reason). If struck with positive energy they should die so Red is told to release the laser trigger. From the abdomen comes out the Braver Sword which uses the Victory Providence which is basically it charged with fire, causing Tornadeus to explode in CGI fire. Even though Megaranger and Gingaman dipped their toes into the water, GoGo-V is swimming in it. Zylpheeza thinks he should be more on guard. The episode ends with Mint congratulating the siblings although Green acts like a grump. Next episode shows Red yelling at Blue and Yellow running through a door.

Tornadeus: Powers include a tornado around the body and mouth fire balls

Episode 3:

Zylpheeza wants their plans to summon their mom to be in ship shape, Denus says she has a plan that is not just a front line assault. Pierre brings to Earth one of her psyma beasts via evil magic named Gasgail. He is sent out to slay GoGo-V with his explosive gas. Cut to the Tatsumi Calamity Research Center where some woman tries sneaking in. She sets off an alarm and a toy fire truck fires silly string at her followed by an RC cop car tripping her on the couch so a net drops on her. Blue and Yellow congratulate each other when Red, with a bat, tells them to get the thief. The thief turns out to be Kyojo Senpai from last episode. The family introduces themselves and welcomes her to their home. She finds it awesome they are superheroes, but they hate it that they got fired from their jobs. Mint comes in alerting them, Kyoko finding him cool until Green throws her out. Gasgail attacks citizens and buildings around the city. GoGo-V heads out on the GoLiners after transforming. Blue, Green, and Pink help evacuate while Red and Yellow save people trapped in rubble in the latter's Rescue Vehicle- Oh look it has a claw. They make short work of the mission when Gasgail shows up with a squad of imps to keep them distracted as he destroys stuff. Blue and Yellow go after him when he is in ball form. Yellow shoots through a door despite Blue telling him not to, the result being a sudden ember of flames. Yellow passes out with a cracked helmet when the others show up. Red scolds Blue which brings back bad childhood memories. Gasgail comments about getting Yellow before walking away. Yellow is placed on a couch and is in shock. Red scolds Blue some more until Green and Pink stop him. He mentions a "day of the docks" which causes Blue to walk off. Denus tells Gasgail good work as she yells him to ignite the entire city to cause destruction around the whole planet.

Imps attack a gas station and Gasgail drinks an entire pump worth. Mint alerts the professor. Red tells them to head out without Blue or Yellow with both of them hearing. Yellow remembers what happened when they were kids, he and Blue were fishing when he tripped on rope and a log hit him. When Red showed up he asked why Blue let this happen to Yellow and ever since he kept the lure. Gasgail is filled up and heads for the sewer to blow things up from under them when GoGo-V shows up. Yellow walks into their dad's control center, telling him to give the lure to Blue at the docks. A motorcycle called the Command Attacker is summoned by Mint to help the injured rescuer out. He transforms and rides it as Blue feels guilty. His dad gives the guilt riddled rescuer the lure and tells him it was not his fault much like Kamen Rider Decade. He thanks his dad just as his siblings get wrapped up my Gasgail's mouth tentacles so he can throw bombs at them. The Attack Pod is launched (and teleports back) to save them and Yellow cuts them loose. Yellow tells Red that neither of those times were not Blue's fault. Dramatic stares and welcoming back happens because family. Gasgail throws a fit and Blue transforms so intros can occur. Blue throws Gasgail followed by Green, Yellow, and Pink typing him down while Red fires laser pulsar cannons from the Command Attacker. Blue also fires his laser in the Attack Pod. Life Bird is summoned to use the Calamity Breaker, blowing Gasgail to pieces. Pierre uses a revive card just as they turn their backs, the bats reform Gasgail as a giant ten thousand times stronger. The Res- Wait, they were called the 99 Machines? Whatever, VR is formed from them merging. Fancy footwork is done followed by the Ladder Cannon firing which is a right wrist laser gun. The Braver Sword uses the Victory Prominence to slice and dissolve Gasgail. At the research center the professor brings in some fish since his bait was very effective. Yellow gets upset his hook was taken, making everyone bummed out. Next episode shows explosions and an old man with flowers.

Gasgail: Powers include summoning gas bombs, turning into gas, rolling into a ball form, explosive gas from the fingers, and mouth tentacles

Episode 3:

At the research center breakfast is prepared by the professor and Pink. Then men a re disappointed it is wet takoyaki. Insert the men complaining about their dad here. After lots of bickering Pink calls them out on their inconsideration. Mint tells Pink he has been disappearing on and off for three days now while at Psyma Paradico the family wonders what to do next while scolding baby Drop for laughing at them. Pierre picks the infant hell spawn up and suggests raining hellfire on civilians to make them feel powerless. Drop gives him a card to bring out a psyma beast named Solgoil. Cobolda rudely asks for a demo of his power, the result being only Drop can command him and gets hit with eye fire balls. Meanwhile, Pink stops at National Coast Hospital to meet other nurses named Yuko and Mai to meet an old man. She gives him a pot of violets before they sit on a park bench to talk about how good it is her dad showed up again. He then says the violets were favorites of his wife and daughter. Solgoil looks on a rooftop before summoning fire from his hands to create a heat wave. The heat is so hot violets begin to die. A snowstorm is then summoned. The men are told about this by this followed by it getting hot again. The cycle of hot and cold continues while the men find Solgoil and transform. Once they approach him imps are summoned and taken down. The hospital is evacuated, the old man scraps his knee during it. She takes him to an abandoned warehouse to keep him and his violets safe. Solgoil is forced off the rooftop and turns his right arm into a sword which easily takes the men down. Pink shows up to transform while the old man searches for water for his flowers. Five lasers are fired and he teleports off via magic. Pink rushes back to help the old man.

Once at the abandoned building she spots the bandage he gave him and is now missing. He tells her brothers his name is Mr. Takabe when flashes occur outside, now Solgoil's barrier is launching fire balls across the city. One of them causes debris to fall on top of Mr. Takabe which Pink hears. She starts to cry when her brothers tell her not to give up. They also say they really care about their dad which makes her happy. Solgoil shows up to fight them, the men distract them as Pink rescues Mr. Takabe who is unable to get up. The pot is broken and Pink grabs the flowers. Just as Solgoil seems to have the upper hand, Pink shoots at him while carrying the old man out. Once he gets away they pose and Solgoil teleport spams. GoGo-V goes after him into the top floor of the old building. A kick assault is done followed by fire ball spamming. He proclaims this place as their grave until they push him into a fire ball launched by his own barrier. Life Bird is summoned to fire the Calamity Breaker which blows him up. One walk away and Pierre using a revive card from Psyma Paradico later brings him back as a giant. Pink summons GoLiner and the 99 Machines are sent out to become VR. Before long VR overwhelms Solgoil in melee and the Braver Sword uses the Victory Prominence, or VP as I will call it from now on, to make hime explode. Mr. Takabe is dropped off near an apartment building and gives back the violets to Pink, saying he will be able to take care of himself from now on. The episode ends with the siblings waving goodbye and eating yakoyaki that night on a bridge.... Which the cook happens to be their dad! According to him he is only covering for a friend for a while and it seems his takoyaki has improved since breakfast. Next episode shows a hiker kidnapped by imps, his son, and a face with a tree.

Solgoil: Powers include eye fire balls, fire manipulation, summoning a weather changing barrier from his hands, turning his right arm into a sword called the Blazing Blade, teleportation, and illusion spawning

Episode 5:

At Psyma Paradico Cobolda points out that busting a dam will destroy the city GoGo-V is in. The others like this and Pierre summons a psyma beast of his named Kueikurosu to cause an earthquake to break the dam. Cut to the research cneter where breakfast is being eaten, Red reads a newspaper about two people missing at Mount Kurowashi (black eagles have a mountain?). Blue thinks something smells and it turns out their dad has roses for Kyoko as she is coming over latter. Why? She supports GoGo-V. Mint detects nothing at Mount Kurowashi and Red walks away to drive off. In the back seat of his van he finds Kyoko who wants to go ro the mountain too for reasons unsaid. Red tells her he is not playing, but she twists his right hand until he agrees. At the mountain we see a father and son, the former telling the latter to climb against is will. An imp spots the dad when he goes to high and a squad over takes him. He tells his son, Tatsuya, to run. Kueikurosu notes the dad is a Leo of the constellation and has him taken when he is knocked out, Tatsuya in shock. The dad wakes up and is turned into a tree once a seed is forced down is throat. Kueikurosu states an earthquake will occur if he does the same with three other people of the same constellations, calling his victims his woodmen. Tatsuya is horrified by this and his dad asks him for water which he does. Kyoko points this out to Red when they are driving. They approach Tatsuya, Kyoko tries asking what happened. They instantly conclude the Psyma Family is behind it, Red can hear his heart beat in the tree, stating he will save his dad. Kueikurosu and his squad appear, noting Kyoko is a Pisces and can be his fourth woodman. He also announces his plan for no reason. Red transforms to fight him. He soon finds out Kueikurosu erected a barrier that blocks communication to the others. Red tells Kyoko to take the boy and run as he kicks the grunts and fights Kueikurosu. The two get to a spot to climb down, Tatsuya becomes saddened by his dad calling him a wimp earlier in the episode. Imps show up and Kyoko jumps down with him. Durign this Red is soon taken down a cliff thank to an electric surge. Kyoko fights an imp before hiding and telling Tatsuya they must split up. He tells the boy he can be brave and gives him a number to dial when far enough. Kueikurosu shows up with his garrison saying Red is dead and Kyoko fights imps with a stick only to get smacked. She is taken to the dam and Tatsuya runs off.

The professor tells his kids he detected a barrier that blocks radio waves so they head out on the GoLiners lead by Blue. They head out right outside of it while Tatsuya stumbles around the wilderness. He accidentally cuts his left leg, saying he cannot walk. He remembers what Red and Kyoko said about saving his dad so he wraps his leg with a bandana and keeps walking. The others soon find him climbing down the mountain, Yellow soon saving him near a cliff side. He tells them Red is in trouble and Kyoko is being turned into a tree. Green shoots the imps feeding a seed to her, saving her and Kueikurosu gets angry. Tatsuya sees Red at a ravine and tries to wake him up as his siblings are assaulted. Red eventually rope swings in, saying he will never be gone until the Psyma are followed by him transforming and intros being done. Kueikurosu states he will send them to Hell only to be tied down and shot followed by a stab. The barrier is gone and Life Bird is called to form the Calamity Buster to destroy him. A revive card from Pierre makes him big thanks to bat reforming, the 99 Machines are called to form VR, this time in CGI. Kueikurosu creates a fissure with one of his tentacles, Kyoko spotting Tatsuya afterward. The boy soon jumps over the fissure while VR uses melee attacks before terminating Kueikurosu via Braver Sword using the VP. The woodmen are turned back into humans including Tatsuya's dad. The episode ends with Red saying Tatsuya was brave and him apologizing for calling his boy a wimp, also Kyoko still wants to be a GoGo-V member. Next episode shows a test tube with acid breaking and Green being a grump.

Kueikurosu: Powers include tree converting seeds, summoning a radio wave blocking barrir, a thorne whip, electric surges, four extendable body tentacles, and a mouth energy beam
 
Million Fold Century has begun subbing Dynaman! While baseball pants is in-season here is part 2!

Episode 6:

An apartment is ablaze, GoGo-V helps rescue people trapped inside. Green arrives last with his 99 Machine, flying recklessly with Red calling him out on it. He unloads a payload of bombs which smother the flames. After that Red and Green bicker in a van because the former is the oldest sibling and that is why he is the leader. Pink tries breaking them up while driving. Once at the research center their dad reads a letter from the Air Force, the want Green to pilot for the Albatross Team as chief pilot. He tells his dad to back off when he tells him he cannot join. Pink thinks he is going too far once Green trots out of the room. At Psyma Paradico, Denus confirms a psyma beast is on the move looking for Triple-X, a man-made substance that she will tell them about later. Her psyma beast, Jeeruda, appears briefly only to be sent out again, Denus laughing because humans signed their own death warrant. Meanwhile, Red tells the others they must do something about Green, Blue brings up the time he wrote some essay for him that got him into the Air Force. When that happened the siblings even through a party with Red singing kareoke. Right now he is bummed out on a bench and decides to head home when he spots a sign that says they want a pilot. His dad points out to the others he left his go brace and therefore is serial. Green walks away saying they do not need him as he walks into the Albatross pilots throwing a fit. They mention Triple-X when Green talks to them, it is a mold that is extremely toxic and used for waste disposal. Given how pollution has always been a severe issue in Sentai to the point where things like the Boma from Turboranger emerged I am not surprised something like this was developed. During a transportation there was a massive accident that apparently killed people. Jeeruda attacks the base and Green reaches Mint who tells the others. Jeeruda and a squad of imps reach a volt where Triple-X is located and take it just as Green and the two Albatross pilots show up, the latter taking the case. GoGo-V shows up just in time. However, an imp emits energy bolts from his left arm, causing the green mold to burst from the case and smother the pilots. Green plugs it up with a piece of cloth and sounds an alarm that locks down the building.

Green starts succumbing to the mold, Red tries reaching him before calling for the others. The mold grows in the confined area when one of the pilots mentions there is an antidote in the case, but requires a keycard. Jeeruda fight Blue, Yellow, and Pink outside until Red shows up to help. Mint tells the others about the antidote and that he might not have enough strength to make it. More workers and scientists get consumed by the mold just before he collapses. Red tells Green via radio not to collapse nor surrender because he must reach his dream. Green talks about the essay, mentioning it was before GoGo-V. Red starts laughing which confuses Jeeruda, confusing him as the others regain their strength and throw their oldest brother at him, causing the psyma beast to shatter to pieces. Pierre uses a revival card from Psyma Paradico for ten thousand times destruction while Red has GoLiner summoned. Green spots the emergency key card thanks to the mold carrying it, but passes out. VR is formed and wrestles with Jeeruda, Mint noting without Green the Braver Sword cannot be used. Red yells and starts singing to him the opening theme. Green barely manages to get the key card in the case, case is released that undoes all of Triple-X, saving everyone. His dad waits for him outside to give him his Go Brace, allowing him to transform. Once aboard VR kicking ensues followed by the Braver Sword using the VP to destroy Jeeruda for good.The siblings confront their dad and things seem to go back to normal. Next episode shows the Psyma Family in battle and Blue dating and being thrown around.

Jeeruda: Powers include pink mouth acid and eye lasers

Episode 7:

At Psyma Paradico, Cobolda has Pierre manifest his psyma beast from the Dark Realm named Moleghoul. Using a magic hologram Cobolda has Moleghoul go after an old guy named Dr. Bill Robinson since he has a disc that maps every active fault on Earth. Why? Cataclysmic earthquake plan. Denus points out GoGo-V will find out and wants to do it as she transforms into a human. She reaches the Earthquake Research Center to steal a woman's ID badge followed by perfect English upon meeting the doc. GoGo-V also shows up with Red, Blue, and Pink to help escort him. Denus is irked as his suitcase is taken to their van although the doc tells Red to give a picture of him in a rock band to his dad since he was one of his friends in said band. Red is left behind while Pink and Blue drive with the doc and Denus. Green contacts them saying he is patroling the sky and Yellow is tailing them. The doc opens his case to reveal his tea set because he is English (hur). Cobolda is annoyed and Zylpheeza tells him not to go out yet. She telepathically gets imps to send a boulder into the road, rolling it down the street. It hits a gas truck followed by a powerline. Red delivers the picture to his dad when an alert on the accident is done. Green and Yellow are called to it while Blue tells Denus they are a rescue squad. The doc sudddenly passes out during this just as Yellow saves the truck driver while Green uses extinguisher bombs. Once the job is done Green get interference as the van heads through a forest and has to stop at a hotel with imps watching them. The hotel turns out to be empty despite a lit cigarette and two electric animal toys functioning. Denus calms Blue down as he and Pink find their situation odd. They split up to find people in the hotel, eventually getting lost. Blue finds two butlers who attack him with pocket knives. They are revealed to be imps followed by another disguised as a janitor showing up. Denus goes through the doc's case, but finds no disk. Cobolda and Moleghoul head out due to impatience. Blue and Pink spot the imps taking the doc.

Denus fakes being shoved off outside and tells them that they will kill the doctor if they do not hand over the disk. An earthquake occurs, Cobolda and Moleghoul appearing from underneath the ground. The villains introduce themselves and Denus scolds him for ruining her disguise which she ditches. The doc manages to run toward Blue and Pink, the latter taking him while the former fends off the Psyma Family. Blue says he does now have the disk and transform while being assaulted. His vision blurs before passing out. Pink an the doc come to a bridge where communication works again, the others heading for her location followed by GoLiner launching. Red and Green get them to safety while Cobolda shows up with Blue restrained by Imps. The disk for him, Red acts hammy and tells Green he has no idea where it is. Yellow has the Attacker Pod launch so Blue can grab on and escape. Blue and Pink then proceed to transform followed by GoGo-V giving intros. Imps are given the smackdown as they charge in with Moleghoul who smacks Red up and pulls him down like an antlion. Blue uses a rope to pull him out and Green shoots, soon succeeding. Pink summons Life Bird so they can fire Calamity Breaker, busting Moleghoul. Cobolda tells Pierre to use a revive card before leaving. The 99 Machines are called for and combine into VR- Oh hey a new insert song. The titans charge, a long shot of them fighting outside of the city is done and it looks neat albeit unfocused. Moleghoul travels underground, but VR just kicks him. Once the Brave Sword uses the VP Moleghoul blows to pieces upon getting slashed and falling down. The episode ends with lots of tea at the research center, the doc telling the professor his kids grew up well, and the disk being in the frame of the picture that was given to Red for his dad to keep even though Blue and Pink do not take well to the news. Next episode shows some angry official and GoGo-V escaping explosions.

Episode 8:

At the metro fire department, a commissioner named Kenji Inui is interviewed by reporters on GoGo-V and while he praise their actions he states that saving people from disasters is solely that of the fire department. In his office, Kenji talks with I'll assume his assistant when he notices the Tatsumi sibilings left once their dad came home. Kenji heads out while the siblings are cleaning the house. The commissioner walks in wanting to see their dad. Cut to the Psyma Family where Pierre points out Drop is crying for his mom. Denus reminds the baby demon that Grand Cross must be completed or their mom cannot return. Zylpheeza says he will accomplish the task and Pierre manifests a psyma beast from the Dark Realm named Raima to cause mass murder. At the research center Pink gives the commissioner tea and a seat on the couch when he gets ticked off. Kenji spawns an Edo period sign, stating that the Tatsumis and Inuis were firefighters then. Since then they became rivals when the professor walks in. Kenji asks what he was doing all these years, losing his calm. As a kid he was a child prodigy Kenji was jealous of as he rose through the ranks. He wanted a nice ancestral rivalry and starts scolding him for job theft. Mint points out a psyma beast is at the Johto ward. Imps lead by Raima attack. GoGo-V shows up which impresses Kenji as they slaughter imps. Mint is asked to get tea while Kenji and the professor give Red conflicting orders to evacuate people or douse nearby flanes. Red does the latter to save the people from smoke. Raima uses his spikes and lightning to attack them, but Red plays opossum and shoots him in the face. Raima teleports off and Kenji is disappointed he lost his rival. GoGo-V spends their night injured. The next day the assistant, Endo, shows up to announce that the commissioner has deemed GoGo-V too dangerous and thus suspends them less the police take action. Mint notes the Go Braces cannot be used once the Bay Area 55 base goes under. Mint latter tells them the fire department will determine their actions from now on while giving the siblings rice balls. The professor and Kenji talk about the last time the latter was active, the former noting he cannot put out flames via sitting around. Once Kenji is alone he is in denial until Red barges in.

As the professor walks he spots storm clouds and Raima teleports to the scene to cause chaos. The hospital the siblings are in are alerted and wonder if they should transform. They head out in their jackets while Red and Kenji talk outside whre the former has his hat blown off. Red notes he extinguished the flames due to strong winds that could have killed civilians. Endo shows up to inform him of Raima's return so Red heads out. The professor helps a random woman with his kids showing up to fight off imps and Raima. Kenji is impressed by what is happening as the professor even gets a sign out. He starts coughing when Kenji finally decides to step in and help. The base rises from the ocean and they transform with intros. Raima goes all out only to be assaulted. Civilians are evacuated and Life Bird is summoned by Red for the Calamity Breaker to fire, blowing Raima up. Pierre uses a revive card, Red sends out GoLiner, and the 99 Machines become VR once it lets them out. Raima causes the sky to go dark before charging in, another zoom out shot of them fighting to give the landscape a unique cinematographic feel like last episode. VR uses the lightning against Raima using its ladder arms. Once the Braver Sword uses the VP, it destroys Raima and clears the sky. The episode ends with the rivals acknowledging their good in each other, Kenji acknowledges GoGo-V is trustworthy, and hands shakes.

Episode 9:

Pink wonders what flowers to pick for her sempai, Mizuki, at a flower shop. At a hospital this Mizuki person is struggling to restore her right foot's muscles, barely able to get an apple; minor trivia note this actress was Arthur G6 and Dappu from Fiveman and Carranger, respectively. At Psyma Paradico Denus is in a good mood because of her foolproof plan. She has Pierre manifest a psyma beast named Vampira from the Dark Realm who states he will drain everyone's power. Meanwhile, Pink shows Mizuki around a park in a wheelchair, talking about the car accident that damaged her foot. In the flashback they were both paramedics trying to help a badly injured boy when an explosion occur, a car door crushing her foot. Mizuki gets depressed over it, not wanting to be a paramedic anymore. Pink's go brace goes off with Mint trying to get to her. She has to leave unwillingly so Mizuki follows. Vampira turns light into crystals, causing a massive car accident. He then attacks a helicopter, turning its energy into crystals, causing it to crash. GoGo-V transforms and confronts his squad of imps. Mizuki looks on nearby as Pink is thrown at Vampira as she shoots and hits him. Pink's suit gets turned into a crystal somehow- No, sorry, it is "power" (the hell?). Blue charges and gets hurricane force winds with tile that hits Pink's left leg. Mizuki charges forward and takes the crystal, but falls down stares. The power is reabsorbed into her and the brothers shoot Vampira until he teleports off. Pink notices Mizuki can walk normally again. The Psyma Family are disappointed in Vampira and Denus tells him to use the energy crystals to cause havoc followed by him absorbing the crystals into his body. Mint analyzes Mizuki and the power absorbing restored and reinforced her body. Oink cannot transform now while Vampira returns for a rampage. She cannot join because crutches when Mint notes Vampira is much stronger. The professor suggests to have Mizuki join them, but she finds it impossible. Pink tries to encourage her sempai and gives her the orange jacket only to run off with the men following.

Pink keeps talking to Mizuki which fails since she has been afraid of being a paramedic since the accident. She cries uncontrollably so Pink puts on her jacket and heads out after giving an encouragement speech. Vampira destroys a mountain via wing beams before the brothers show up and slay imps. However, Vampira hands their rears to them easily. Pink shows up and gets eye beamed. As she receives a bunch of smacks Mizuki contemplates what to do until she decides to head out, landing a flying kick on Vampira's face as an entrance. Some pop song plays as she puts on the jacket and joins the brothers. They eventually do the shoot and smack attack from earlier in the episode. He drains her energy while Pink grabs it back and transforms. After GoGo-V poses, Pink fights Vampira one on one, gets rammed into, grabs the psyma beast, and shoots him so Red and Blue throw him around.

Episode 10:

Rescue workers and GoGo-V scramble to help people from a burning building. A mother tells Yellow her baby is still inside, he tries going in only for rubble to stop him. Red appears with his 99 Machine to save the child. He succeeds while Blue and Green extinguish the flames. A boy calls Yellow lame and runs off. After that they have dinner, Yellow is disappointed Red took the biggest piece of shrimp. Talking ensues, Yellow is sad he is mentioned as a rookie compared to everyone else. Later, he takes a milk carton and walks off sad. He encounters the kid from earlier playing soccer and decides to talk to him. The kid claims to be unmatched when three kids in jerseys show up to tell him to get lost unless he joins their club. Fighting breaks out, Yellow gets smacked trying to break them up so he does a back kick that lands in the goal. The kid calls him coach after being impressed. He begs to be taught while the Psyma Family has Pierre summon a psyma beast named Chanbano. Zylpheeza's great plan revolves around Chanbano emitting smoke to block out the sky while they call for their mother, Grandiene. During this Yellow and Daigo, the boy, pretty much argue about the idea of teamwork. Mint tells him of the psyma beast and has to run off. Daigo decides to follow because curiosity while Chanbano emits smoke that suffocates civilians. GoGo-V shows up and beats up imps. Yellow spots Daigo looking and faces Chanbano himself, taking him down easily until his torso mouth launches a smoke bomb. Daigo is caught by the smoke, Chanbano states it is especially deadly before Red shoots off his left tube, forcing him to teleport away. Red scolds him afterward and Yellow retorts that he is sick of being backup since he has only gotten sloppy seconds all his life. Red punches him and Yellow runs off. Yellow and Daigo talk while walking in the park as the boy acknowledges Red as the ace of GoGo-V.

Yellow feels miserable when his dad shows up in his car. They fish at a river and camp, Yellow just throws rocks into it, wondering why he was the youngest. The professor suggests making him the leader while acknowledging Red gets too fired up. Yellow thinks Red is doing the best he can as his dad mentions they all have a flavor to them as he makes stew. The moral of the speech is that there are some things only specific individuals can do. During this, Daigo sees an abandoned warehouse where Chanbano is doing an incantation while complaining not enough fumes are emitted. Daigo accidentally knocks over an empty gas can and gets noticed. He runs and Yellow finds him just as the imps show up. Soon he transforms and fires at them. Chanbano runs over Yellow via a motorcycle. He gets injured while telling Daigo winning fights is not proof of strength and that his top priority is his safety. The others show up, Red makes sure they are okay. Once Daigo runs off a pose is done and the grunts are slaughtered. The Command Attacker is summoned by Yellow in an awesome motorcycle duel. Chanbano's bike gets demolished and tries another fume bomb which Yellow catches with his legs followed by Red kicking it back at the psyma beast. The brothers grab hands and Yellow summons Life Bird to become the Calamity Breaker to bust Chanbano. Pierre uses a revive card, Yellow summons GoLiner, and the 99 Machines become VR.

Next episode shows a bus being robbed with Pink on it and VR being beaten hard.

Chanbano: Powers include smoke tubes around the body, smoke bombs from the torso mouth called the Exhaust Fume Bomb, teleportation, and a motorcycle with lasers on the front
=================================================
Ranger balance can be done quickly: Red and Yellow are down one, good, moving on. To start off I like the opening theme, it is probably one of the most hot blooded openings in the franchise! The family themes are fitting, especially when you consider the decade began with Fiveman and ends here. The professor and Mint I will talk about later since it is too early for them and they don't do a lot outside of their perspective roles. Red is kind of a grouch, a grouch with a heart of gold, but wow does he like to overreact. According to /m/ he's one of the best red rangers so we'll see how that goes. Pink is emotionally supportive just like every pink ranger since Turboranger (and I'll include White Swan from Jetman in that). Green is rebellious, the others I can understand their personalities aligning with their rescue worker jobs, but here not so much. Blue is somewhat submissive and pretty much takes whatever is thrown at him, probably a side effect of being Red's whipping boy. Yellow a hothead and a brave one at that. Yeah, I don't have much else to say, we're only ten eps in. The bickering is annoying, but not to the same degree as Liveman and Megaranger (thankfully). Now for the Psyma who just want to revive their mom save for Pierre who just wants to make them happy by the looks of things. I like the idea of minus energy much like with Ultraman 80, it builds the mythos of the setting in the overall franchise while simultaneously keeping an entry unique enough to stand on its own (unless you're Ninninger and did yokai again). In fact one can conclude that minus energy is the source of many demonic entities from earlier entries that just have the "we are ancient evil" backstory IE God Egos, Black Sun God, Taboo, the Boma, Ramon and Gorg, Dai Satan, the Gorma, and the Yokai. Anyway, once again like in Sun Vulcan the villains are in the ARCTIC and have LITERALLY ZERO REASON TO ATTACK JAPAN. I'd imagine maybe them being spoiled and prideful would be a factor, but none of them display that. Couldn't they do something to the Russian countryside if they wanted to induce so much havoc? On a side note, I don't know if this is the work of bad subs or not, but they refer to humans as "surface dwellers". You guys came from space and the Psyma Paradico is NOT underground! If it is boy did the writers establish that poorly! I have a theory about how this series personifies the themes and mythos of Super Sentai as a whole, but I'll bring that up when we finish the series, maybe after the crossover with Gingaman.
 
Hello there, folks. This is probably the post many were not looking forward, but I'm quitting. Over the past few days I have done some soul searching and recollection on my own life. I have much cleaning up to do. I am sorry to all those that have been keeping interest in this thread, be it from the beginning to Gorenger all the way to now. I am giving up many things and among them is streaming. It was a fun ride while it lasted, both in the good moments and the bad. Farewell and may God bless. I will finish GoGo-V when Shout! eventually subs and streams it.
