Ummm, Toei. You do actually know which series you licensed to be Power Rangers right? I get you'd want to do double the promotion since Power Rangers is so well known, but maybe make sure your logos are on the right series?

I mean, how do you fuck up TimeRanger and Time Force. They both have Time in the name!

I'm surprised they didn't put a Dragon Knight logo on Ryuki in the Kamen Rider section.

They don't have a Masked Rider on Black RX/ZX/ZO either though.

But you are correct, it's not like the titles wouldn't give a link to what series was adapted.

The Kamen Rider section is a whole other ball-game in terms of screw-ups.

To start with, they refer to it as "Masked Rider," even though I kinda thought they made Kamen Rider the franchise's official English title in 2010 because of trademark convenience or something.

The Kiva summary spells "Fangire" as "Fungire," and spoils the fact that Wataru is half-Fangire (Though to be fair, the show kinda spoiled that itself in episode one.)

The Hibiki summary claims that the Oni are called "Takeshis," and that it's the Makamo who use the powers of the Oni.

The Faiz summary spoils one of the few good plot-twists the show had, leaves the e out of Orphenoch, and makes no mention of Yuji, Mari or Yuka, who were there from the beginning.

The Ryuki summary claims that DragRedder was the strongest Monster in Mirror World, and kinda forgets to mention that whole Rider War business that was sorta important...

I don't know enough about most of the Showa Riders to spot inaccuracies there, but the Black RX summary starts off summarizing Black, then at the end talks like it was made after Kuuga and embodied a new direction for the franchise.

Also, why is the Sentai page missing Shinkenger through Gokaiger, and why is the Rider page missing I think more than half the Riders?

That's funny right there.

I wish we actually had gotten a full Dairanger adaptation. They were supposedly going to work the suits of the core five into Lost Galaxy (as a team of "Legend Rangers" or something like that), but Valerie Vernon getting cancer somehow messed up those plans.

It's just as well. They'd probably either completely ignore the fact that those suits have the same buckle design as MMPR white's or they'd come up with some really lame excuse to explain it away.

"We reverse engineered them from a fragment of the White Tiger coin that somehow ended up on Terra Venture!" :lol:

Everything prior to 2009 is still officially masked rider

That's a spoiler?

Takeshi was the name of the overarching group that ran the Oni. They mention it pretty frequently in the show, but nothing overt, I guess. I don't know what kind of fanfiction they came up for that last part though

That's because they don't use an e in the Toei spelling. Ta-da:

Simple is best, they haven't updated either sites since 2009.

Yeah, Shinkenger (and thus PR Samurai), Goseiger (and therefore Megaforce), Gokaiger, Go-Busters, Decade, W, OOO, Fourze and Wizard are all missing. That explains the Masked Rider name usage (it changed to Kamen Rider with W). As you say, it was last updated either in January 2009 or late 2008, apparently after RPM was announced but before Shinkenger and Decade were. Toei definitely need to update that site, it's far too outdated.

That wouldn't work as a story point. The Season 2 power coins can't be used. They where destroyed. Don't believe any rumors that involve the Dairanger suits. People have been butt hurt that they never got used. People make things up.

But yeah. How does Toei screw the logos up like that. And the Alien Rangers have their own logo they forgot too.

There's also an error in that they call Flashman "5 soldiers" when they were 5 people who were kidnapped as babies.

Haha, I had the exact same reaction.

And yeah, how the hell did they mess up Time Force and Timeranger lol.

That's my point, though. The Tachibana family are all Takeshis, but they're not about to go out and blow up any giant spiders by beating out drum solos on their backs. That's the Oni's jobs.

Anyway....
I can understand someone who can't read English and not knowing the history of these shows (Which, you can tell from the descriptions, they didn't.) putting the Time Force logo on the Dairangers. What I can't understand is thinking the Dino Thunder logo (Which had the frigging tyrannosaurs from Abaranger on it) belonged to the Timeranger adaptation.

Maybe he also had bad eyesight and thought it was the V-Rex in tyrannosaurs mode? Whatever, this was obviously done in a rush by someone who barely knew these shows anyway....

I'm confused. I click on the link and see no logos.

They seem to have removed the logos and added a Shinkenger entry. So I guess it's slowly being updated.

No, dude, Takeshi includes the Oni. That list, which has Takeshi in the top left corner, all oni.

Read threads about Dairanger or MMPR season 2, on rangerboard. There is always someone moaning the suits never got used.
