Ninninger 12 sanjou!

[Weather]

Problem here is not Red fighting general, it's the problem that half dead red defeats a general that 4 not damaged well rested Rangers couldn't done a single thing to. And also, i don't see why Takaharu is stronger than them, no reason for it, he just lvl up after every fight, he gets zenkai boost from DBZ. like i said, fuck you series.

[rubius]

Is it just me or is this series moving along at 900 miles per hour? We had a 6th ranger by Episode 8 (instead of the typical 17) and the super-combine-mecha appeared in episode 12 (ToQ Daioh, with the Build ressha, showed up in episode 23, and the first big-bad-guy has clocked out. It's not a complaint, but the series is just over 1/5 of the way through and we've already been given the big plot advancements...makes me thing that some big revelations are in store for later down the road. Gabi somewhat reminds me of both Isaka from Kamen Rider Blade as well as Buredoran from Goseiger, so I'm curious whether or not Gabi comes back later.

I still don't understand how everyone sees Kyuuemon as a male though, even after reading the thread about it.

dude, so what? i mean the kyoryuugers had gold show up in episode 10 and Raijin-Kyoryuujin in episode 12 so it should be a big whoop.

it was just a flesh wound lol or the morphin grid healed all the major damage even through it doesn't exist sentai lol

And then it's revealed that inside Takaharu is the Final Sealing Shurikan and every time he fights, grows, or takes an enemy's attack, more of the Shurikan's power is released, to the point where he has to discard all of his ninja powers or threaten the whole world, he chooses to be a normal scrub for the sake of his family, and it ends with him despite having none of his previous strength, still have the skills of a ninja to fight more evenly along side his family and unlocks the true power needed to defeat the final enemy...

That is my 'I really hope this isn't the answer' theory for why Red can take on the general by himself while injured while the other four couldn't even touch him without Akaninja's aid.

Alright, I give up. Which Toku series is that an allusion to?

[Mandalori]

Go-Busters probably? I don't really see any other Sentai that have this, except maybe Toqger.

[Phoenix512]

I'm pretty sure that Takaharu pull off a god move to bring the world to his crazy-ass delusion that the others were waiting for him, Kinji should have beat his ass down for that stupid delusion. I think Shimoyama Kento took Toei's recent trend of making Red the center of the world a bit extreme. The other four should have beaten Gabi and maybe bring Takaharu for the giant Gabi fight but the way it was done really makes no sense at all.

There's really nothing needed though.. other than "He's a Red and Reds can do that".
It's not anything recent, either.

[Kogashi]

Well, I mean, a lot of people were asking 'but how is Red just that much stronger' and welp... this is what I thought of on the spot using the story aspects we already have, knowing that Red is and seems to have always been, stronger than the rest of the team, as well as the one who cared the most bout being a ninja, the existence and purpose of the Finishing Shurikan, that at first he couldn't even wake the general up and now he can squash him while half dead, and that the finishing shurikan is missing, or least the Grandpa doesn't have it.

[HeyThere]

And once again Takaharu took the major role for yet another episode. Makes you miss the old sentai tbh.

Frankly, it's starting to get more irritating as I continue to watch. Can they just focus on Kinji for a moment since he just made a debut? I mean we didn't even get words on who those dudes were in his picture. But NOOO cause they had to jump back to Takaharu.

Every episode, it's always Takaharu himself, or "Takaharu & Fuuka", or "Takaharu & Yakumo", or "Takaharu & Nagi", and more recently, "Takaharu & Kinji".

Spoiler

Next episode seems like it's another "Takaharu & Nagi" combo.

I just can't!

Seriously, let the others took the spotlight for a bit. And by that I mean tone down Takaharu a notch, maybe two! What's the harm in putting Yakumo and Nagi as the duo of the week, or Fuuka and Kasumi? It's been 12 weeks and yet the relationship between the two heroines are so unrelated, no development whatsoever, very unlikely with their predecessors.

Somebody should tell the writers that we get it!!! Takaharu's red! Making him a bit non-existent for a few episodes is not gonna change that. What, did they think if we didn't see Takaharu for a while we're just gonna assume that he's Pink? lol No! We WILL NOT forget that he's the leader, RED, the leader!

I feel like we haven't seen Kasumi for a while. The show is called Shuriken SENTAI Ninninger, not Kamen Rider Akaninger!

[Leonsagara]

I'm hoping now that Gabi is dead, the next general is more interested in one of the other Ninningers and gives us more character development for that character. I agree with everyone who was disappointed that Blue, White, Pink, and Yellow couldn't do anything against Raizou, while injured Red was able to beat him(even with a jutsu that combined all of their powers). Takaharu shouldn't be that randomly stronger than everyone else. As far as being ninjas go, the really capable ones are Blue and Pink, yet Takaharu always gets the center of attention just because he's Red.

[Kuchiri]

Couldn't the fact that Red is obsessed with Ninjas and has been the only one 100% serious about ninjas since he was a kid make him a lot stronger than the rest based on skill alone? Hell in the first episode most of them just didn't care about being the rest of the team, they had their own focuses.

Well we're in episode 12, and I think now they're all already convincingly invested to becoming the last ninja.

I honestly don't mind Takaharu being the stronger or whatever, just deflect the spotlight from him for a sec.

Even if it was supposed to be another character's focus eps, the writers would always find a way to tag Takaharu along as one of the major role, even if the plot content of the episode was non-related to him whatsoever. The most obvious one was when Fuuka went to High School. He became so irrelevant on that episode. He's got nothing to do with any of the storyline yet he kept popping himself on so many occasions

Or this episode, I think the writers should either focus more on Kinji's parents or not at all. What is it with his parents? Does he miss his parents being far away in the US? Did he lose his parents? Did they die? We'll never know. Or they could remove Kinji's storyline from this episode (if they really want to highlight the Takaharu vs Gabi storyline) and put it somewhere in future episodes so that they could resolve everything more clearly, instead of making Kinji witnessing the cousins working together and somehow poof! family issue resolved! Not only both storyline were unrelated, the resolution on Kinji's part became somewhat bizarre.

Maybe, but there are two problems.

1: they're not shwoing it ina good way.

2: Yeah, red defeating strongest foe isn't new, but the thing here is that takaharu is an awful character, with previous they are actually cool and you want to see them beat stronger opponent (and even then, the fight and hwo Red won, was shown much better).

Also, this sh*t needs to die. Red is not the strongest ranger, he suppsoed to be the leader, one that brings the team together, pushses them to the limits and beyond. Yeah, he can be stonger, but not that much, that only he can fight, while rest is lying on the ground how PR likes to do.

[Catastrophe]

I don't get why the focus was on getting Takaharu a one on one with Gabi. Star should have just beat him.

Speaking of Gabi, why did they kill him off without interacting with some other generals? That is usually one of the best aspects of Sentai.
