Didn't i call that one of of the Busters would be killed off (albeit temporarily because this is Super Sentai) in the finale?

I find the impact of "killing a Ranger" is lost by the fact of the Go-Busters having to appear for at least three more movies, along with the fact we've already seen scans for SHTZ with Beet Buster in them. Toei, couldn't you have held off on those?

Decent finale, my feelings on this show are mixed, but overall I enjoyed it. I may not have thought it was THE GRIMMEST DARKEST THING EVER or been that bothered about the mecha but, damn you, I liked the Busters. I liked the techno-fantasy feel of this show.

Maybe the V-Cinema takes place before the ending. I've got nothing on Taisen Z or the V.S movie though, we'll see.

Taisen Z seems to be set post-series as Yoko is in a school uniform in that scan we've got. Goseiger's V-Cinema was post-series and IIRC so was Shinkenger's, but we'll have to wait and see on that one

I don't really think Shinkenger Returns set after the finale, didn't they parting after the final battle and meet again in the Goseiger team-up? I think it's non-canon.

It's funny how you miss spelled "J" with all those other letters.

...go to hell, and take your stupid obsession with J with you. just because he's your favorite doesn't mean he has to be everybody else's, you boisterous oaf.

for me, who payed attention and took in all of the parts of the series instead of fanboying over a single character, Masato was a million times better than J. for what I saw, J's only good qualities were how much he cared for Masato and how much he wanted to protect the forests, but those aspects were barely explored because most of the time he was too busy being a selfish moron

as for Masato, he had some real depth. yes, he was cocky and boastful, but he was also both smart and wise. at first, he had to shoulder how it was most likely that Hiromu and Yoko couldn't save their parents, and so he pushed the three to become stronger. then later, he had the burden of keeping how his body was slowly losing data from the others. on top of that, just by fighting as an avatar, he was risking chances of coming back with every fight. yet despite that, he really contributed a lot, especially in the development of the Buster Machine combinations. he also grew to really care about Hiromu, Ryuji and Yoko, as they came to care about him. this finale really showed how far he had come, with him being willing to sacrifice all data so that the nigh-unstoppable Enter could be defeated once and for all, and had what he had what it took to motivate the others to keep fighting even though when it was all over, he'd be gone.

all that, is why I think Masato is better than J, but I don't go ranting about him every time I talk about Go-Busters, becuase he's not the only important character, so freaking lay off is somebody else likes a character more than your favorite character

 

[lazycoconut]

I'm gonna say this. I normally:

- dislike or am apathetic towards villain characters, and strongly resist any efforts by the show to make me feel sorry for them or understand any motivation other than "because they're evil"

- and don't care about the personal struggles of the heroes, I just want to see them fight

But I ended up caring about Enter and Escape as characters, actually missing them (!) and being really invested in Masato's story. So Go-Busters must have hit a note with me somewhere that's hard to reach. Show y u do this to me

Most V-Cinema and the Vs. films are usually non-canon, Kiba Gaiden being an exception because it's purpose was a backstory type deal.

I'm pretty sure there are other exceptions however none really come to mind at the moment.

 

[Wing Saber]

I have to admit that I'm surprised that they killed off Masato. Since they said that they'll never do that again. However despite being the 11th Ranger to die, he won't stay dead. Since the afterlife has a revolving door in Sentai.

 

[FlameDragon]

maybe J will become the new beet buster and switch to stag every once in a while. i must be on crack right now, or i've took the drugs that henshinslayer was on.
