Gokaiger 16 released

Post by takenoko »

"Huh?" at Marvelous opening a crate of gold coins and stuff and being super disappointed by it. I guess it's to signify that Marvelous isn't an ordinary pirate who's only interested in stuff other people think is precious, but it's pretty funny to get that reaction, then couple it with him getting giddy at finding a children's figure.

And how funny is it that Marvelous looks at a figure of AkaRanger and asks AkaRed if it''s of him?

Marvelous versus AkaRed fight: Nice!
Is that the MagiRanger background music I hear when GokaiGalleon first appears?

Nice Final Wave this time. I'm glad they overcame the tougher enemies by helping each other out. If they just got out of this situation by doing their usual weapon swapping, that would have been less satisfying.

That was a nice moment between Marvelous and his crew.

Too bad we don't get to see them use their new keys.

I think I recognize all the keys in Basco's right hand at the end, but I wonder about the left hand. It's kind of cool that the keys aren't limited to just rangers.

I guess this week's "monster of the week" name is based on "water". Huh, liquid droid Wateru. I guess the writers figured it was a throwaway character so they didn't try so hard with this one.

Huh, that preview
Spoiler
So a sixth ranger just appears out of nowhere? I hope his origin story is more interesting than that

-Normally I don't find the reds for Super Sentai very interesting but the writers have done an excellent job developing Marvelous.
-The scene inside the air duct was great. It's nice to see the team doing things you haven't seen before in Super Sentai.
-The grappling hook Green used reminded me that Yellow often twirls two of the swords on some kind of rope to attack. I guess Yellow attaches the swords to the same type of grappling hook.
-The fight where MagiShine's bullets were circling around the combatants were a nice touch.
-Now we know why Basco keeps Sally around.
-Since Wateru was dodging Gokai-Ou's intial attacks, I thought they would use Magi Gokai-Ou to bind it in place. Sadly, Shinken Gokai-Ou was once again used because Magi Gokai-Ou was already used last episode.

My thoughts on that preview:
Spoiler
I'm just glad that it puts an end to any speculation about Basco being the 6th ranger.... at least for now. I feel much better that he is a villain instead of someone who will have a change of heart and join the good guys.

As for the new guy, it makes sense in a weird kind of logic. In a series that caters to the fans, having a fanboy character become part of the team is genius.

So... Ranger Keys that isn't limited to Rangers? What are those called? Special Keys? Hero Keys? And when does Female ShinkenRed get her own key?! I mean, we saw how Luka and Ahim transform into past Reds with a normal Red key, and they get a skirt addition, so why the special treatment for F-ShinkenRed?

And I see Mele and DekaSwan in the left hand. That's the only two I can recognise, since we only see the back of the keys. Those two are more distinguishable.

Spoiler
Wait, so Silver is a random dude? That doesn't seem as cool. Hopefully he has a good backstory.

Also, is that AbareKiller and MegaSilver with a skirt I see!?

It's not that weird because ShinkenRed Takeru and ShinkenRed Kaoru are two different characters. They're not the same ShinkenRed, after all.

Looks to me like he has Zubaan in his left hand too. I can't quite make out the others, but I'll bet the black one's Rio, since he has Mele right there... The white one might be Magi Mother, just since I can't think of any other white heroes who were really prominent.

I just realized that the final wave sword/gun combo make little anchor flukes (the curve or bottom of the anchor). Or at least that's what they look like to me. It'll be interesting if they use the new keys or a sixth ranger will. Also, now that they have the Dragon Ranger for Zyuranger and most likely his Dagger Flute thingy; think we might get the Dragon... (what is that thing called anyways? I'm just gonna call it the dragonzord) Dragonzord as an add on? That be awesome. And Navi was great once again. Just the little things they make her do get the most laughs out of me. Although this little thing was pretty important this time around.

Is Navi a he or a she? i think I remember reading he back when they did the "Where's Navi?" episode but I could be wrong. The episode was really cool. I'm really digging the character development of Marvelous. Hopefully they will continue to flush out back story as they go along. (For example with Lucca and Doc. I'm pretty satisfied with the other character back stories but I don't feel like they've been given great detail yet.) Really wish we could have gotten a better look at which keys were in Basco's hands. Now I'm super curious. Also, I thought the whole white and gold motif for the battle was pretty awesome. It would have been kinda funny if Aihm had changed into the white kakuranger to blend in. But that probably would have taken away from the Gokaigers triumphing without the use of a GokaiChange. After watching the preview, next week should be fun!!!

Ehh a little disappointing in my opinion. The episode itself wasn't bad, especially Marvelous' line about pirates taking whatever they want. However, the battle had the same problem as episode twelve in my opinion: the Gokaigers beat the puppet rangers just a little too easily.

Still, it's nice to see Basco's going to be sticking around for a while. By the way, if anyone is interested the list of keys is:

■Signalman
■Black Knight Hyuuga
■DekaMaster
■DekaSwan
■MagiMother
■Wolzard Fire
■DaiKenjin Zubaan
■Rio
■Mele
■Hime ShinkenRed

Can't wait for the next episode.

I absolutely loved every part of this episode!! :D
the meeting between Marvelous and AkaRed was even better than I thought it would be! (They even thought about a different/shorter haircut xD) And Marvelous' character development really goes well. Compared to the first episode, he seems more like a Pirate/Captain now than he has ever been! I'm still curious about Doc's past, to keep us waiting so long... it better be good! :D
some other things about the episode;
- Doc 'communicating' with Sally was so like him xD when all hope seems lost.... Call for the monkey!! :lol:
- Crawling through the airshaft was fun to see, I don't recal seeing other Sentai do such things. Good to see the Gokaiger standing out from the crowd. :)
- Hiding Mobirates in the treasure chest was brilliant! And Joe's/Doc's henshin was quite funny xD And I have a feeling that scene was like a treasure itself to all the Doc/Joe shippers out there (that doens't include me though xD)
- Navi becomes more and more useful to our Pirates
- Marvelous' little 'Thank you' nearly melted my heart! :oops: that was B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!

Preview time!!
Spoiler
I like Gai allready!!! :) But he reminds me of someone... let me see... :?
- Sixth Rager (thank GOD it's not that Basco-Bastard!!)
- Appearing out of nowhere
- Obsessed about something
- one, big bunch of energy....

GENTA!!! :lol:


that wasn't funny, huh? xD well, I enjoyed it x')


Can't wait till next episode and thank you for releasing it on my only day off this entire week! :D

Basco's accent makes me want to bitch-slap him just to see if he cries.

That monster Basco summned was a waterdroid, bt to me it seemed like it was using electricity...
Doc imitating Sally was weird, but I liked it since it fits his character.
The airshaft was quite hilarious
Doc/Joe hensin... That shot might lead to many fanfictions and fangirls
Basco is only in this series since the previous episode, but I hate him already. That means he's a great villain.

How could Joe turn his legs towards the exit in the ventilation? And doc you had the best view, even though you got kicked in the face.

So is hitting the head when angry a trend among the Gokaigers?

Mabe's plan was good, but they could've made the henshin scene with the girls or with a boy and a girl... Damn you fujoshi baits. At least Doc went straight to the girls when he was free. And forgot Joe XD

I was expecting more of Akared's encounter with Mabe. But I guess it's okay.

Fights were good again, but I didn't like how they won without doing something they didn't do in the first fight.

And shouldn't they have 15 keys? 5 that Basco gave to mabe and the 10 they took? At least Basco isn't out of the game yet. And nice to see that Sally can store kaijin.

Spoiler
Silver? I was really expecting basco to be the sixth... Maybe he'll be the seventh? It would be strange for him to keep being a villain. He'll probably learn to trust people and stuff.

Not too crazy about Silver's design and his personality seems to be a bit lame. I think Basco with his carefree and playful personality would be a better addition to the crew. Let's see how it turns out. Maybe silver gets the sixth keys and basco gets the robots like zuban.

Not a bad episode. A little more back-story about Marvelous... speaking of back-stories, they still haven't done one about Doc yet.

Marvelous' line about being a pirate means taking whatever you like was pretty good. Put that in your pipe and blow, Basco!

Next Episode:

Spoiler
In addition to me smiling to the rest of the episode, they pull Silver out of the woodworks. I will agree that Gai reminds me a lot of Genta when he first appeared. And I somewhat called it when I said the 6th pirate would be from Earth. Oh well, looks like a good time to be had.

It'd be hilarious if every time Basco lost keys he'd just show up in the end with more.
Till eventually all he had was keys of the non-transforming kid sidekick characters.

Although I do like the selection he had this time. Even though I think Zuban is pushing it.
(If he gets a key then what about Datas and Daigoyou?)

Slightly unrelated to the episode, but last night I had a dream that I had a Transformers toy of Basco's ship.
I didn't remember it till I started watching the episode.
I may be lying
