Samurai Sentai Shinkenger rumor/picture thread

[Gold Samurai]

Ever since Genta showed up i've been wondering if Mojikara can be technology-ified.

Have a fleet of four or five completely technology built mecha infused with Mojikara.



Right now Mojikara is on the same levels as Mahou in Magiranger. Using too much drains the user.

Magiranger episode 4 - Kai trying to turn Urara back from stone

Shinkenger- Genta making a hidden disc.

I for one am also having a hard time seeing the TakeruXMako thing, I'm not sure if Mako is just wants to take care of Takeru because she is a caring person, or if she really likes him since she does live some clues like discussing that she wants to be a good wife with Takeru.

Which episode was that?

He could also be a distant relative if you want to stick with the bloodline theory, but I doubt it since most families of nobility in Japan won't risk a relative's life by making that person into their decoy. More often, decoys are not related but are the extremely loyal servants of their Lord which is a better angle for the samurai theme.

By all accounts so far Kaoru is a Shiba, so it looks like they're related in some way ...

I think it can considering he was able to create his Origami and arsenal with the phone.

 

[Gold Samurai]

No I mean actually built like the mecha in GoGo V.

Hard tech with a bit of mojikara.

Genta just typed out the character for "lobster" and it was created. That's on the level of Magiranger just making things appear out of thin air.

We need another Professor Tatsumi.

There's no clear reason why mojikara couldn't work like this. It is pretty much just magic and Genta has already used it to bring a lantern to "life."

I imagine it would take more mojikara than even he could muster up, though. To me if feels like the kind of thing where it would take the whole team + True Red's mojikara.

LOL, I don't hate it, I appreciate romance in the forum, even though its *cough* *cough*. :laugh:

Ok,I may be openly Gay....But to my knowledge Kivat isn't....Kivat's just a person who has always been smart, funny and with good ideas with his posts...

Talk about reading subtext where there is none. Some of us don't chase after anyone we see, no more than y'all chase after any and every pretty woman you see.

There are several people here I think highly of in terms of their posts....a few who i respect their postings but don't like them, even.

It's all about the ideas and the way people communicate them.

Maybe in the future, I loved that guy.

Gah, shipping on any level that isn't explicitly stated within the show bugs me to no end. And before anyone asks, no, I don't feel that TakeruXMako falls into that category.

So you think it's explicitly stated, do you?

Please read what I said. I said that any shipping that isn't explicitly stated bugs me. And Takeru with Mako is NOT. Therefore, it bugs me. No one's pet 'ships make any sense to me in this show. And please, I'd like to leave it there. I don't want to get in any more arguments with you, since it's obvious you disagree with just about everyone else on this board that says much. We've just gotten back into healthy conversation, instead of completely pointless debate. And by pointless, I mean that no one is going to convince the other of anything.

By all accounts so far Kaoru is a Shiba, so it looks like they're related in some way ...

If, of course he's really a Shiba... He probably is, I'm just playing devil's advocate, here.

I'd be really surprised if they actually get into explaining the intricacies of Mojikara at this point. It'd be cool, but unless they manage to squish it in with introducing Kaoru, it'd just be a lot of chatter that isn't really all that necessary for the plot.

I like the sound of that ... It would explain his father's failure at the seal, but I'm not sure they'll go that far at this stage in the series.

Which episode was that?

A lot, I believe one was when Takeru was wounded and Mako was taking care if him.

By all accounts so far Kaoru is a Shiba, so it looks like they're related in some way ...

So you are assuming that Takeru IS ALSO a Shiba. I think I'll wait for the show to explain it rather than make conclusions already.

Learn to take a joke dude.

The impression I get of how mojikara works in the show is that you can cultivate whatever spiritual power you have, but everyone has a certain baseline level that can only be cultivated so much.

So Genta's ludicrous skillz come off, to me, like a combination of natural talent + years of hard work. If he exceeds the other Shinkengers, it's because they've been expected to cultivate a much wider range of skills.

I imagine the True Shinken Red has similar ludicrous mojikara skills-- there's no other reason why only True Red can write the seal.

Yeah I agree, in fact for me, I would compare mojikara with ch'i or qi which is the "life-force" in Chinese belief as taught in Confucious' texts, which would make sense since bushido and the way of the samurai was based from Confucious' teachings. Shinkenger is playing-off the context that samurai has a strong life-force that they can manipulate at will since qi was said to be seen as a force likened to adrenaline, being able to empower a person to achieve things that they might not otherwise be capable of and is also considered by some to be a force able to move objects and control minds. Having this idea, mojikara/qi prodigies are possible like Genta, who has the potential which was fulfilled by working hard in the years before he was accepted to be Shinkengold.
