Gokai 36 released

[takenoko]

The interaction between Gaiark and Zangyack were pretty good. Even their fodder battle of nondescript lackeys was pretty funny since they specialize in not standing out.

I hate to admit this, but I forgot that green's vehicle was a race car. And I have no idea what Joe's vehicle is.

Oh man, they took the isolationist barrier joke and continued with it. When Babacchido exclaims "the arrival of a red ship" it's a reference to Perry's black ships arriving in Japan (thus ending the 200 year extent in which Japan was a closed country)

Oh, I guess we could have called it sakoku barrier and just linked to this, it explains Japan's isolationist term and policy.

Apparently Joe's machine is a Jet.

Okay, Go-On GokaiOh doesn't work for me. I can take Shinken GokaiOh, since it's kinda reminiscent to a centaur except you have a lion bottom instead of a horse's. But a race-car bottom? Seriously? I was expecting Machalcon to split up like Fuuraimaru and form weapon parts. I mean, his exhaust pipes shoot missiles and spit fire. They'd certainly be good hand attachments. =/

Haha, funny how Sousuke keeps calling Gai "Yoroi-kun". If you can remember, takenoko has mentioned before that the kanji used for Gai's name is commonly pronounced as 'yoroi', which is 'armor'. Oh the Go-on word puns.

[Arigomi]

It was entertaining to see Waruzu Giru introduce himself while doing a dramatic sentai-like pose.

Sousuke's attempts to talk with Machalcon were priceless.

I liked the extra work that went into the Gokai Change. The Go-On Wings suit makes another appearance and it doesn't disappoint.

[PHurricane]

I think that’s only the second time we’ve seen them pilot their independent vehicles. Pretty unusual for sentai.

Oh, Sousuke. Never, ever change. But please make sure you always have people around you to comment on how ridiculous you are acting. You need a straight man to maximize your funny.

Some great lines during the villain-on-villain battle. Loved the irony of His Highness boasting about the stronger invader winning, and then immediately stepping back to let his minions fight. President Baba’s question about why Zangyack hasn’t won yet was a nice tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment that, for a group that supposedly dominates the galaxy, they’ve had an awful lot of trouble conquering a planet defended by six pirates.

Machalcon has “Super Sentai” on his tires, plus “E-S System” on his side - possibly a reference to his dad’s partner, Esumi Sousuke?

Joe is very smooth. He does Go-On Blue’s part in the group pose, but modifies it so that he does his usual GokaiBlue imaginary hat grab first.

Hey! Don’t cut off right before Sousuke tells Gai what his other pirate name could be! Aw, I want to know what the line was...

[Catastrophe]

This reminded me how much I missed Go-Onger. Lol at the Gokai Fire/ ripping off thing at the end.

[jolly_old_saint]

A delinquent sentient car driving all over with no regard for society's rules? If only our heroes were endowed with some sort of power that would inspire others to obey traffic laws...!

[Magenta]

Oh my god why didn't they goddamn do that, that's genius.

"He's too fast he's getting away we can't catch him. D:"

"Don't be ridiculous. Nobody can outrun us! ...wait. ...He's speeding, isn't he?
...
GOKAI CHANGE
CAAAAAAAAAAAAARRANGER"

[09MurphyM]

Aside from the 1st episode of Go-onger, did they ever actually show the Machine World in detail like they did here?

[Netto no Zen-Aki]

Okay, Go-On GokaiOh doesn't work for me. I can take Shinken GokaiOh, since it's kinda reminiscent to a centaur except you have a lion bottom instead of a horse's. But a race-car bottom? Seriously? I was expecting Machalcon to split up like Fuuraimaru and form weapon parts. I mean, his exhaust pipes shoot missiles and spit fire. They'd certainly be good hand attachments. =/

Don't you mean Gao Gokai-Ou is like the a call-back to "GaoCentaurus" from GaoRanger?

That aside, this was a pretty entertaining episode. Sousuke, before you go spouting out about things, learn a culture beforehand. Talking about the kotatsu and Speedor having to tell him "We don't have one." that was pretty hilarious.

I will agree that it would have been funnier if they went Carranger, but using their individual mechs was good. Also, speaking of Machalcon, anyone else notice the Gokai emblem on his side now? It's pretty small, but those kind of things really catch my eye.

Next episode looks like it's going to be pretty interesting itself.

Talking about the Preview:

Spoiler

I mean, when was the last time the enemy had a specialized mech for a Big Bad? *I'm not counting Dekaranger since ALL of the Alienizers used mecha.*

[evel333]

I enjoyed the Go-Onger tribute. The whole arc seemed a bit "higher budget" than most with the Machine World chase and the Go-Onger fight. Good scenes with nice effects. The whole "bad guys vs bad guys" thing I didn't see coming.

[Niek]

The Gaiark vs Zangyark battle was fun to watch. And Machalcon looks very awesome, although I never really got hooked on the talking cars deal. They just aren't kitt. I do hope that in a next episode they get a Grand Power that turns Go-On Gokai-Oh in a robot/warrior mode like Gao/Shinken Gokai-oh.

36 episodes in and finaly we get to see the individual mecha's in action. Sweet!!!

The guy in the chair is that the Emperor or is it Basco?

I believe the 'E-S System' refers to 'Engine-Soul System'. Seems more likely than 'Esumi Sousuke System'.

Anyone else notice that Joe said 'Subari, hade ni ikuze'. Go-On Blue/Ren's trademark word of adding 'su-'?

[TBustah!]

Speedor: We don't have a kotatsu.

Or legs to put under one, for that matter.

I figured Gai would probably end up using Go-On Wings, but I was kind of hoping for Sousuke to join in the roll call so that they could REALLY use all seven.

Anyone else wonder what Sousuke's second idea was for his Gokaiger designation at the end? It got cut off, but judging by his logical choice of GokaiFire (actually, Gai's wrong, Sousuke was ripping off two heroes, not just one: TimeFire and Wolzard Fire) for the first one, I would assume it'd be another "second red", most likely something like GokaiKabuto. The only other option would be some reference to Shinkenger, and we all know how akward that'd be.

Spoiler

While watching the preview, I had forgotten for a minute that the "extra ranger" keys were now in the Gokaigers' hands, and thought that the bad guys were fighting each other. I look forward to it.

[triple_lei]

Man, I loved that battle of the generic baddies! Finally Giru's time to shine. Go Goumins!

[DREWdesu]

When I watch Gokaiger I just love the main antagonists and protagonists of this show. Walz Gil is what a Prince should be and he's perfect.

Now back to the episode
I love how natural Sousuke was in the Ending with Gai especially with the GokaiFire part that was really natural haha.
Now there's the episode where each Gokaiger fights by using their own mecha.
Really loved tha Gaiark vs Zangyack fight. Insaan, Barizorg and Walz entrance was rather funny because it reminds us of Gokaiger's Gun enterences.
Insaan's whip... wow...

Preview

Spoiler

Walz has a warehouse with his own machine... I thought at first he would have some "true form" or something , it seems the Emperor appears in this episode. Joe fights Barizorg. There is a Special Gokai Change featuring Extra Heroes and seeing Don as Signalman is hilarious haha
