so.... Hakase is the Titanium ranger? cursed with a magic tattoo that'll end your "life" if the morpher is used too much?

Edit: forgot to mention, I REALLY like the original version of Aoi.

i'm just betting the brother is either a delusion or a double agent.

so my 'whats' and 'whys' are revealed, plus too many SS references (zyuranger, dairanger, sun vulcan etc.) the countdown for the grand finale begins. and darn, i really thought it's retsu! haha.


and btw, i guess this will confirm the rumors about the 13th episode, JEfusion announced it anyway.

Oh I see. I guess the 13th episode will be more of a summary episode with the voice actors or something. Looks like Amazon was wrong then.

It's all a trap.

Dr. Z said he'd found another way. That other way was a fake call from Washington and not-Retsu, whom I doubt is even really his son.

I like how they tied both Zyuranger and Hurricanger's death stories into one. Since Hurri is a total nod to Zyuranger.

Another theory: Malshiina is the real daughter. Hakase is a delusion.

There's a whole story arc involving scorpions that invade and slowly kill all the hurricangers. It was basically revenge from Mamamruba. It was loosely based off Burai's candle arc.

That BGM when not-Retsu was explaining the candles... Ahh, I'm in middle school again...

It's a damn shame this show is nearly over already. And yet at the same time, it's a blessing...

Aw, there not gonna try to make me sympathize with Malshiina, are they? Too little too late. Didn't work with Vancuria, won't work here.

Probably one of the weaker episodes of the series honestly. Maybe 'cause of too much focus on plot. I did enjoy the phone call Sayaka gave Nobuo, though.

OMG I was thinking the exact same thing. Hey, since Hakase's brother is from America, you think he's a fan of Power Rangers?

Definitely not one of the best episodes, but it was full of plot and lots of foreshadowing, it feels like a "calm before the storm" episode, and the sudden plot of akagi leaving the team officially raises the flag for series finale.

That said i did freaked out a lot watching this episode, first with the unbelievebable level of Showa-ness displayed by Takuma, seriously, you know someone is a Showa hero if he saves a puppy, its a rule, takeshi hongo did it like three times in the first episodes of KR, and so did Minami Koutarou in black. The reference to Godzilla was unexpected but cool and Takuma doing a shout out of Kikaider 01 was too much, i literally started screaming at the monitor. Luckily there was no one around to see it.

Anyways, thanks for the release and i hope this series ends soon or i might die out of sheer geekness.

maybe. i'm just glad someone else liked my analogy, since it's possible they weren't even thinking of the Titanium Ranger when they did this.

That would be pretty cool though if Toei did had the idea of making a reference to one of the American-exclusive rangers that never appeared in Sentai when they thought up with that.
