Alt Title: Engine Soul Swap

I wonder if they ever used this plot for Go-Onger? Amusing episode. That kid's art lesson moral is bonkers though. Fire is lucky the kids managed to make that collage instead of just a big mess. Truly anything goes in this show, huh?

Notes:
-Oh yeah, green stone is definitely a pervert
-Kabedon!
-Kiramager sure is interested in promoting the message that unusual thinking is okay
-Have the enemy rakes always fired bullets?
-Green dashing in green's body was a pretty fun sequence. Very good motion
Preview for next week
Kakihara is back after 20 episodes? Is she going to be a semi regular now?

This is the thing I love about this series. Take a typical sentai plot and go nuts with it. Swapping with the partners was a great idea and them coming to the realisation that they need to treat them a bit better was great.

I'd kill for a version of this episode that has the original actors doing the voices they did for the lines the Machines actors dubbed over.

I was really touched by the deceptively simple message this episode had to offer. Yeah, it's funny to go 'haha Fire encouraging children to make a mess', but the episode really went all the way for it's point about how simply offering encouragement to someone, even if they're not doing things right, can go a long way in making them 'shine'. The team then using that lesson and giving the Mashins the support they needed to win the day was really great (though I would have had some harsher words for Mach!).

I'm fairly certain nothing like this ever happened in Go-Onger or any other sentai with living mecha. All the body-swapping or body-stealing I remember were always a villain hijacking someone else's body, like that time with LupinBlue, or GekiBlue, or DekaBlue (wow this sure happens to Blues a lot)... or that time ShinkenGold got turned into sushi.

Just want to ignore that part tbh, because I hate the dance move and didn't want that to get in the way of a pretty good episode.

Wait a minute, they go around basically flaunting their CARAT uniforms when not working/studying, yet their identities are secret?!

I was gonna list all the series I've watched but there's a 255 character limit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well.

Another solid 4 episode. It's not anything amazing, but it was consistently entertaining.

I have to admit I cracked up very early in this one, when Smog Joukey was bobbing around. Those mecha suits are so heavy, you don't normally see them making any "extraneous" movements like that.:lol: Otherwise some of the other mashin antics were humorous as well, but nothing topped the mecha fight at the start.

I do have a bone of contention to pick with the moral of the day, however. The mashins don't just praise their partners; as the COVID episode established, they have a wholly unhealthy (and damn near sexual) obsession with them! That's not a partner, that's a stalker!

In terms of production, this feels like an episode that they didn't get to make during the COVID break. Silver was entirely superfluous, and while he doesn't have to be in every single episode, the fact that this episode would have been virtually the same without him makes me think it was originally intended to slot in before his premiere. Also, I find it interesting that this episode doesn't use the core cast all that much; other than Jewel, the core cast is never used outside of the base.

And yet it's the one thing in the entire episode that's even remotely real-world accurate. :shock:

Is that what it is? I've always assumed the subversive morals are just the writers trying to be wise guys (and getting away with it).

We don't talk about the flossing...

The closest I can remember Go-Onger doing was an episode where Hant accidently put the wrong souls into the engines

Yeah, this episode confirmed that Mach is the only Mashin I don't like. While all 5 have an obsession with their partners, Mach is the only one that takes it to creepy levels. Not helped by the fact that his entire personality trait is "has a sexy voice."

As for body swapping, I remember Gokai Green and Gokai Yellow swapping bodies.

I seriously hope the best for Shoei because there's gonna be a lot of simpletons who're gonna tell him to not poke his nose on things he doesn't know.

Feels more like a Problem that is founded in the Fact that even thou they are supposed to have different ages and all, they are like most non-humanoids written like Children, that look up to their Partners as some sort of older Sibling they adore, but yeah Mach that ol Sniffer takes it a bit far :lol:

All in all pretty entertaining/silly Episode that made good use of the Swap-Game, apart from the Kid, since there wasn't any explanation for it, I have to asume that prior Art Teachers or Parents were harsh critics on his drawings?
So it was actually refreshing that they didn't solve this with Fire saying something random and the Kid starts drawing, but that he found some other Way in expressing his creativity, that might work better for him.
