oh no, how can red and blue be fighting? Surely this will pay off in a cool way

come on sentai's elon musk, open your wallet so your teammates can focus on fighting evil or whatever instead of building your space rocket car

That moving shot in front of the dumb green screen must have been more expensive than it needed to be

Oh, right Taiya's weirdly parseled out backstory. They even have his crush teacher's actress. The show's nearly done, why are we still learning this?

Imagine the Boonboomgers are playing ufo catcher with the cars in their down time

Buy all those Boonboomger weieners

Black's rod is weirdly bent at 9:46 when it's glowing

The alternate Boonboomger episode where Shashiro is just shot in the face by a femme fatale

I still kind of laugh when their power up is the ability to put on their cool jackets lol

Shashiro really is the Batman of the team. He's planned a contigency for taking out his teammates too

Is it my imagination or is the lens of the camera not broken? Actually, I totally thought the first thing Shashiro did upon entering was to shoot out the camera lens...

What a cool roof shot. I wonder where they are

Did they send a spy to take out the lady spy? Feels a bit like Jango fett sending the assassin to take care of his targets. If the spy that took out the lady spy was that good, why didn't he just take out the Boonboomgers himself?

I don't know if the components all hold up, but overall I felt like that was a 5/5 star episode for me. I enjoy the focus on characters and it's nice to see the bond between red and blue. More of this please

Weird preview. I saw Engine-O, but it doesn't seem likea Go-Onger centric episode or to have any Go-On guests. Frankly annoyed with the callbacks in this series that mostly jerk you around. At least Go-On Red got to show up and be himself and have a little story

[Yaiba]

This episode did feel like a spy film, even with failed agents getting executed... Well as much as it can in a sentai show.

We finally got a glimpse of why Taiya is obsessed with helping others. Is this all we're getting or will they show us more of what happened?

Taiya is teaching Jou and Mira to do Boonboom car's maintenance? They're going to break everything.

Other than Taiya, looks like Genba also sensed something was wrong with the the fake Shashiro.

Lol the moody "You..." Taiya said to Shashiro in the beginning was just "You talk too much!"

I like that each of them are getting a chance to use the Champion Changer. I wonder what would Jou's episode be like?

You can always count on Mira to lighten the mood.

I want those sausages Sakito bought...

Taiya's past

The reason Taiya was so fixated on "screams" lied in an experience he had as a child. He heard the cry of a young child from the next room, and an irreversible incident occured. He blames himself for not helping despite hearing the screams.

The details of the incident with the child was not depicted in this story. The production team had a general idea of ​​what happened. What's important was not the details of the incident, but the fact that the regret of not being able to do anything as a boy was what shaped Taiya into the person he is today.

In the scene Taiya's parents' faces were in the shadow and cannot be seen clearly, but the father was actually played by Mori Hirotsugu-san (suit actor of BoonRed), and the mother was played by Miyazawa Yuki-san (suit actor of Itashaa). Taiya made his fortune through his own efforts, so his parents weren't particularly wealthy. When it came to deciding the clothes they wore, they decided to took a stroll around the LIVIN OZ mall near the Toei studios (?) and used the people who came to shop there as a reference.




Taiya and fake Ishirou

The moment Taiya saw Ishirou entered the garage, he realized that Ishirou was a fake. What did you expect? It's Taiya and Ishirou after all!

When Taiya confronted him, the fake Ishirou taped his pen on the table and it conveyed his irritation. I personally like it because it's like a countdown to the battle to come.


Ishirou and Steer

This episode was a homage to another spy film. To give you a hint, one of the proposed subtitles was "Impossible Mission". There was a lone female spy who appeared in the fifth installment of that series.

Ishirou was being followed by his former spy companion, Steer. The name "Steer" came from the steering wheel in a car. "Steer" also means "to stir", so the name also conveys the idea of ​​a stirrer.

Steer was based on the aforementioned female spy from Mission: Impossible... the work to which this story paid homage to. The role was played by Yoshimi Naito-san. After consulting with Director Hayama, we made casting "action roles" our number one priority. Of course, it was also important that the actor was someone who could exude a cool aura. Yoshimi-san did all the action herself during the intense fight in the warehouse. She has a black belt in Kyokushin Karate, but has said that modern action scenes are still a challenge.
She had a lot of fun during action practice, and that's how this scene was created. She's so cool!

In the end, I think Steer was a little jealous that Ishirou, who once fought alongside her as a resident of the underworld, had now found someone he wanted to run with and was able to demonstrate his abilities in the light of day. I think that the more adult you are, the more you can empathize with this feeling.

By the way, during the script meeting there was a discussion about them calling each other by code names, and it turned into an improv comedy competition. An idea was put forward of using a cool fish name to match Ishirou's love of aquariums. Then someone suggested "Tuna and salmon," and the discussion took a different direction... In the end we decided not to go with fish names after all. It made me laugh just thinking about it, so I'll pay a tribute here. Tuna and salmon cannot be used.

You can't see clearly in the scene, but these are the ISA agents watching Steer at the end.

Original Japanese Text

===========

大也が「悲鳴」にこだわる理由は、幼少期の経験にありました。

隣の部屋から聞こえる、幼い子どもの泣き声。
…あるとき、取り返しのつかない出来事が起きてしまい、大ちから事情を聞かれます。
「僕には聞こえてたのに…」と、自分を責める大也。

ここでは、隣室の子どもに関して詳細は描いていません。
製作陣の中では一応設定がありますが、大事なのは事件の詳細ではなく、「何もできなかった少年時代の悔しさが、今の大也をつくりあげた」ということ。

大也の両親、本編では影になっていてはっきり見えませんが、実は父親役はブンレッドのスーツアクター・森博嗣さんに、母親役はイターシャのスーツアクター・宮澤雪さんに務めていただきました！！！
大也は自分の力で財を成した人なので、両親が特段お金持ちだったわけではありません。
そのため、お二人の衣裳合わせのときは「練馬の母をモデルにしよう！」と、東映撮影所近くにあるリヴィンオズを散策し（？）、そこにお買い物に来ている方々を参考にしたそうです。
練馬の父って、母ってなんだ！？と盛り上がった出来事でした。

今回は、明確にオマージュしている作品があります。
ヒントをお渡しすると、サブタイトル案に「不可能なミッション」（そのまんまやないかい）があったこと、そのシリーズの5作目で孤高なスパイの女性が登場してくること…ですね。

別の場所。
てくてく歩く射士郎。ですが、何者かに後をつけられていることに気付き、身を隠します。
後をつけていたのは、かつてのスパイ仲間・ステア。
「ステア」という名前は、車の「ステアリング」からとっています。
また、「ステア」自体にも「かき混ぜる」という意味があるので、引っかき回し役という意味も込められております。

射士郎の元スパイ仲間だったステアは、ミッション:インポッシ…今回の話でオマージュした作品の、先述したスパイの女性をイメージしています。
演じていただいたのは、内藤好美さん。
葉山監督と相談し、「アクションができること」を最優先にキャスティングをさせていただきました。もちろんクールな雰囲気を出せる方、というのは大前提です。

激しい攻防が続きますが、ステア役の内藤さん、吹き替え無しで全てご自身でのアクションです。
極真空手の黒帯をお持ちなのですが、現代アクションはご本人にとっては「挑戦するもの」とのことでした。
が、アクション練習の時点でとても楽しみながら臨んでくださり、この場面が出来上がったのです。かっこよすぎて惚れちゃいますね。

あとで手錠を解いたステアが「イシロー……」と呟きますが、かつて裏の世界の住人として共に戦った射士郎が、今は「こいつと走りたい」と望む相手を見つけられたこと、陽の当たる場所で自分の能力を発揮していること、ちょっと羨ましいのではないかと思うのです。その気持ちは、大人の皆さんであればあるほど、共感できるものがあるのではないでしょうか。

ちなみにこの場面、「二人はコードネームで呼び合うのではないか」という話になり、脚本打ち合わせのときに大喜利大会になりました。
射士郎が水族館好きなことに合わせて「かっこいい魚の名前とか？」という案が出たのですが、誰かが「ツナとサーモン」と言い始め、大喜利は別の方向に…魚系はやっぱりやめようとなりました。
今思い出しても笑ってしまうので、ここで供養しておきます。ツナとサーモンはだめ。

===========

もちろん、大也は気付いていました。射士郎が偽物だということに。
届け屋本部に入ってきた射士郎を一目見た時点で、とっくに見破っていたということです。
大也と射士郎だもんね、そうだよね…！！

ここでフェイク射士郎がペンで机トントンするの、苛立ちも伝わりますし、この後の戦いへのカウントダウンみたいで個人的に好きです。

>We finally got a glimpse of why Taiya is obsessed with helping others. Is this all we're getting or will they show us more of what happened?

But why not just show it to us when he was first introduced? Then when we got to the teacher episode and we find out that she was dead already, it'd feel more tragic

>Other than Taiya, looks like Genba also sensed something was wrong with the the fake Shashiro.

It's so nice to have smart Genba back again

>The reason Taiya was so fixated on "screams" lied in an experience he had as a child. He heard the cry of a young child from the next room, and an irreversible incident occured. He blames himself for not helping despite hearing the screams.

I wonder what was happening during that. Sounds like child abuse, which is a bit dark for this story?

>In the scene Taiya's parents' faces were in the shadow and cannot be seen clearly, but the father was actually played by Mori Hirotsugu-san (suit actor of BoonRed), and the mother was played by Miyazawa Yuki-san (suit actor of Itashaa).

oh, those were Taiya's parents?

>You can't see clearly in the scene, but these are the ISA agents watching Steer at the end.


So why does the ISA agents contract out to other spies? So weird



Steer's fighting pose looked familiar

Edit:
You left out the part where her role probably is related to the muscle men from eps 6/17. It's her Ultraman Blazar costar:

Can't trick Taiya that easily.
The spy stuff with ishiro was cool, hope we get more of it.
Wonder who the actual final boss is gonna be outta Spindo and Tokoyari, really hope its Tokoyari, having a human final boss would be interesting, even if he does get some kind of monster form.

[Androzani84]

So according to Bandai’s TwitterX page, the episode had a brief appearance by Boonboom PatCar 1 Justice White ver, (a repaint themed around Japanese police cars) and Boonboom Safari Wild White ver. (A repaint themed around a panda)



My thoughts on this: When are the Cool Blue versions of the “Knight” Boonboom Cars making their cameo?
