her official evil song from the series is far worse. it just means I'm about to go through a brain scrambling process. she doesn't even sound any better when she's talking.

I don't think so. It took 100 years for the Deboss to return. If the originals returned, then yeah, it would have deflated the series ending. But we got new villains who are kinda pathetic.

Didn't the season finale specifically state something created Deboss? If that isn't deliberately leaving a door for this film I don't know what is.

This movie was okay. It started out really bad but got better as it went along, but they really really screwed up Chaos (or this new version called Ghaos). I know he is not supposed to be the same dude, but the way they portrayed this new version was a joke. He feels more like he belongs in Go-Onger rather than this. The other thing is the movie does nothing to answer the question about where Deboss came from, which is very annoying. The second half the movie was enjoyable though and brought back the energy the series had, but to be honest, I would have rather had a team of new colors since it was a movie set in the future over them being required to have the standard ones. Overall, I give the movie a 5 or 6/10, but it was at least worth watching once.

Meh it just doesn't bug me. Even her usual villain song is OK once they get past the intro and into the actual song (although whenever they got as far as that bit in the series she turned into a cute goth girl, so maybe I was just distracted :sweat
I think they just said something like "there's guys even worse than Deboss out in space". IIRC the setup for the bad guy in Kyoryuger vs Go-Buster (vs Abare vs Zyu) also said that Deboss was one of a species of world-killers rather than a singular entity. But here they don't use either explaination; they just say "oh some of Deboss' cells went into another dimension and now they've come back and spawned us." Er, how?
It'd have been one thing to have had another of Deboss' species turn up 100 years later. But now we just get his sad remnants going up against a clueless, no-fun Sentai. I dunno, it just didn't feel like they were going out with a bang.

Before I want to discuss about the review, I want say few things about the series itself.
I’m notoriously NOT a fan of the show (I *HATE* the show).
It is one of my least favorite sentai I have seen so far and I personally think Riku Sanjo is one of my least favorite SENTAI (not TOKUSATSU in general; I haven’t seen Kamen Rider W; don’t ask) writers to date.
After disappointed by TV series and seriously despising VS movies with Go-busters (which features 2 veteran dinosaur themed sentai team that didn’t need to appear), I was REALLY worried how Returns Special would turn out; however, V-Cinema Returns Special tends to get better as year progress; Shinkenger was awful and terrible, Goseiger was OK but forgettable, and I absolutely LOVED Go-busters Returns.
So in the end, I was bit optimistic of how this would turn out.
So after seeing it for first time (and few more times), here’s my thought:
If there is one good/decent thing (or redeemable quality) that this series provides, is this special.
I personally enjoyed more than TV series; which was surprising.
Rangers in 2114 are written better this time, where they are more LIKEABLE than the actual series; where I thought they were are jerk, selfish, and despising (I REALLY hated King).
I almost wished if these characters were used in the series.
I especially like Dai-kun, where he is an exact opposite of Daigo/King/God/Whatever.
Ryo Ryusei (actor) did a very good job with this role, as a weak and quirky role, who eventually learned the importance of ranger and leadership. I like that his role was handled better than King.
Dai-kun > Daigo/King/God/Whatever.
I lol’d at 116-years old Souji. :laugh:
He looks good despite the age.
Canderilla and Luckuryo as mentors are perfect choice, where they were practically the only likeable characters in the series. I was bit surprised voice actor for Canderilla, Haruka Tomatsu, made an appearance, which was nice touch. I wasn’t huge fan of her songs in the series, but she did pretty good job this time, where she sang the OP theme of the series. I’m not a fan of the OP theme song, but Tomatsu added a flavor and made it pretty decent, where I almost wished if she was the main singer of OP theme song instead.
The comedy and humor was handled better this time, where it felt really awkward in the series (which ranged from awful to “meh”/passable).
It’s nice to see Deboss Legion is back, where there minor tweaks in their design.
I was little disappointed that they didn’t bring back Endolf.
I like the design of Arslevan though, where it looks mysterious and matches the theme very well.
I was bit surprised that four season-based Debo Monsters also came back.
It helps tie the theme of years going by together nicely.
I like that they included Returns Special original ranger, KyoryuNavy; which is basically a modified suit of Deathryuger. It was bit let down that it didn’t get much screen time though.
It would have been nice if 2114 Kyoryuger (in their “wrong” suit) had crossover with 2014 rangers; then again, there will be problem with 2 KyoryuBlue though, which can be confusing.
I was also disappointed that 2114 Kyoryuger didn’t have their own mech fight and no original mech combination (then again, I wasn’t fan of their mech anyway, so no big loss there. lol)
Coming from someone who didn’t like the series, I was surprised how good this special was.
It wasn’t great or perfect, but it was FAR better than TV series.
If you are a huge Kyoryuger fan (which there seem to be a lot), you will definitely enjoy it.
Even for non-fan like me, I found it enjoyable as standalone special.
If you are fan of V-Cinema Returns special, check it out.
It wasn’t as good as Go-busters special, but I had fun watching it.
Good job Sanjo. Well done. :thumbs:

I never thought there would be someone who shares the same thoughts about the show with me. I especially agree that the 2114 Kyoryugers are way more likeable. :thumbs: hell, even the Dobutsu Sentai Gobusters special was WAY better than the series itself.

First, I'll just preface this with a brief comment that the idea that anyone could not love Candy's singing is an idea that I do not understand at all. To each their own though.
Anyway, thoughts! I was actually kind of disappointed for the most part. I didn't like that they abandoned the unique color setup they had at the start for this "true" color nonsense (why not just be creative and roll with that?), the "villains" outside of Athreban were just kind of insulting to the original show's fantastic villain team, and all in all it just felt like they wanted to give the finger to creativity and do the same old same old. Uppy getting a sword just because Utchy was especially silly - if they had to give him Gold, they should have given him a gun like everyone else and then given him a "normal" version of the Gold suit. Now that would have been really cool.
All in all, it had a lot of potential, and I actually did enjoy most of it (most of the new characters were great fun), but the missed marks I felt were marks they really missed. Hopefully the ToQ versus movie does better for them than this, though if not, it won't be the end of the world.
