There's little cartoon images of each historical figure---wonder if this will be in the show?

Gen's probably still more competent than Gou, though.
Leangle only has Jack Form, IIRC.
Weekly history lessons ahoy! Kinda reminds me of Kakuranger's narrator introducing the MotW.

Kiriko
wore that backpack like, once, didn't she? The dream is still alive. But Genpachi is still cool as a Rider, too. If it was Chief, I wouldn't even be mad at Kiriko not getting powers.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
If I'm not mistaken,
that backpack was only worn by Genpachi in one episode. Don't think we've seen it since.

Ohhh, I saw the scans now. It's the new backpack.
Orends has a few spoilers, not sure if it's true, but...
Gold is Banno, new Mach is a mass produced version, so everyone in the force can be a Kamen Rider, heh.
Hey they had a coffee shop too
I tried to make sense of Blue Sky (or Kiva, actually), but couldn't. Maybe I'm missing details from the show? Here's what I remember:
- The organization has been around for a long time, even before '86. They're developing Ixa suit.
- Fangires were roaming around back then, too.
- The comes the '86 storyline, which ends in Otoya dying, leaving Wataru Kivat and the Kiva powers
- The fangires, the organization, and Kiva does jack shit for 22 years until the first episode?
- Wataru looks like he's been Kiva for quite some time, Megumi was a hunter for quite some time, and they're upgrading Ixa for 22 years.
- Kiva and Blue Sky simply haven't crossed path before the start of the show
- When Ixa is done the organization is back to doing jack shit.
I wonder why make an organization at all, not just a group.

Blue Sky are like Mach in that they completely failed to actually accomplish anything until the Main Rider got involved.
Dang, Ghost has eyes all over his suit and gear. Not sure how I feel about the giant eye on his chest and the markings on the legs... initially it seemed like it was only on the shins.
The masks are fucking great though. The lamp and the arrow with the apple shaping a face, so good.

Don't you mean Green?
I'd agree were not for the Kyoryuger or the Gokaiger.

you are correct. There's a SIC Hero Saga version of Leangle King, but they haven't release it yet. I though they had.
Nah, Kyoryuger and Gokaiger slot in ahead of it. I'm fuzzy on which one comes first, because I think I might enjoy Kyoryu more once you get rid of the Sentai Nostalgia.

Go-Onger is the best, though.

Mass production models never look great. Kurokages, Mages, Shocker Riders, Riotroopers. Kurokage or Shockers look the best, because Kurokage was originally a single design and the Shocker Riders are just recolors.
Now I want DiEnd to come back and use all of the new mass production/grunt riders we have in a little army like how he used to use the Riotroopers back in Decade.

Gokaiger has my favorite cast, but if it wasn't for Mako, maybe Shinkenger would be my second favorite with Kyoryuger.
Or maybe not, if you count the extra members. Ramirez and Tessai were awesome.

Riotroopers are easily the best design...and pretty much the first thing I think of when it comes to "Mass Produced Riders".
Funny thing is, their role in Faiz is actually extremely meager---outside of the movie, they're only, like in what, two episodes? And quickly get decommissioned. But their design is cool enough they stay with you.

Holy shit Ha-Oh Shurikenjin is enormous. That's like second half of the series powerful. Meaning something is going to happen to make the combination impossible.
I will shake my head at Yakumo and Kinji being allowed to use Lion Ha-Oh, but choosing not to so Taka can have more screen time.

I love when they call in new folks to raised the states. I shit on Goseiger but their monsters were on point

Hehe. Takaharu being the obstacle was a nice touch too.
Things are happening kinda fast on this series. I hope the second half is like that too.
And now we have a robot riding a robot riding a robot. How far will this go?
Seriously? That's a nice spin on the theme.

was technically the second one to get the hyper form? And just because Kasumi didn't want it? Nice, Lion Ha-oh is the best. Even when he's a tsundere.

Finished Zyuranger from Shout finally. One of the few sentais where I can say that the American counterpart was much better. The characters besides Bandora and Dan are SO fucking boring. Goldar is probably an upper tier rangers villain, but in super sentai he just sleeps all the time and can't even beat the Zyuranger when he has another monster there. And he doesn't talk at all.
Enjoyed seeing 1992 Japan bits, and I loved the closing theme despite it being nonsense, but so much of this one felt like they were still trying to figure out how to do sentai. Thankfully, Shout is subbing a much better sentai next.

You do realize that Zyuranger was the 16th series right?
They had a pretty damn good idea of what to do with Sentai at this point. The season preceding it (Jetman) is considered one of the best, and before that there fan favorites like Sun Vulcan, Bioman, Changeman, Maskman, and Liveman.
Zyuranger was an off season, yes, but that shouldn't paint a picture of the franchise as a whole.

From that era, Dairanger is better.
Yes. That's why I brought it up as a criticism. Because they shouldn't be having these issues.

They're basically Zod and his gang.
Zyu was the boring one inbetween Jetman and Dairanger. It was the Goseiger of the 90s.

It's looking like Surprise Future is canon... and we won't get to see it until around Christmas. Fuck.
Banno is one twisted mofo. Claims he's here to help, but then sets Shinnosuke on fire.
I am curious on Tornado's need for young women.
I was kind of hoping that Chase getting his driver's license would be like that one episode of DBZ. But it was just a side-story to the action..

Eh? It just looks like a regular episode to me, more or less, except with DINOSAURS. I sort of wish they'd give Sentai a bone and give them a major, plot-shaking movie for once.
Hyped as fuck for the Movie Monster Trio though. You can never go wrong with that motif.
The attention looks like it's from the same people that did the ep where the first general died.

Would people really pay for a solo Sentai movie though? Sentai Vs movies have significantly lower box office than Rider and that's a movie with two teams.
Probably wants the perfect model for his clothes or something.
Wonder what twist they'll throw in with Banno/Krim after the "Gou wasn't actually working with the Roidmules after all" arc.
Boss Doggie

but those aren't yokai!
Yokai basically just means "legendary monster"
Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster, and the Werewolf are "legendary monsters" in their own way. Even the Slender Man can be considered a Yokai.
It's the same way that shows like Doctor Who or Flash can be considered Tokusatsu, even though they're not Japanese.

I dunno, they strike me more as "generic monster class" than youkai.
Also I ship Gen and christmas cake.

might be splitting hairs but I always read it meant folktale monster. Like the big bad wolf could be considered a yokai.

Modern urban legend monsters/ghosts like "turbo hag" are considered Yokai too though. In its original Japanese usage, it's a very generic term.
Yokai more so means strange phenomenon or something to that degree so basically anything that is weird could be classed as a yokai even a kaiju, alien, or possibly even something like a Moai statue.
So the Wolfman would be classed as a yokai but to be more specific he might be a bakemono which is a shapeshifter.
