Go-Busters 42 Released

Post by ReversedSentai »

This was a very nice episode. Really reminds me of Den-Liner a lot.

And oh my god, Youko singing the "We are all alive" song immediately brought me back to episode one of DekaRanger. It's interesting how in both cases, the female heroine sings the song to hostages trapped in a form of transportation.

That was a really nice episode although I do have the question the strategy of using Miho as bait for the Megaroid (Megazord/Metaroid) to come... it didn't work in the wedding episode it surely wouldn't have worked on this episode. Great to see this was a Youko focus episode as well and hope she prospers into an idol career after she is finished with GB haha I'm just kidding.

I really enjoyed this episode. Youko and Umeko need to get together and sing "We are all alive." I immediately remembered the first episode of Dekaranger that I watched 8 years ago. Hearing all the train announcements as seeing the ads in the background made me miss the Japanese Transit system. I was expecting a filler episode, but things got serious in the end.

Enter is always full of fun surprises, and this episode is no exception. You think the Messiah Card is gone? Nope! Like a nested Russian doll, there was another Megazord inside the whole time. Brilliant. Enter and Escape working as a team was great too.

I guess this was a Youko episode, but it really doesn't feel like she got much screen time. Of course, it reminded me of the Umeko bus scene, but this episode also reminded me of the Abaranger episode where the red guy is trapped with all these captives, so he has to cheer them up. I mean, it seemed like they were going to teach a moral lesson or something at the beginning with Youko not thinking ahead, but it didn't really seem like she learned anything about that. So it confused my expectations a bit.

I think we'll see the powered-up Megazord again, but I don't think that'll be the heart of next week's episode.

Quick Trivia: The song Youko sang in the train was first sang by Five Yellow from Fiveman.

Speaking of mecha we may not see in a few episodes I'm pretty sure Escape's Evolved Mecha will only be destroyed by Go-Buster King, come on that's uber final boss level mecha right there.

Other than that. The CG in this episode made my eyes sad.

Enter wanted data about humans overcoming a desperate situation. Youko didn't think too much to help the studend. Youko got trapped. Youko helped the hostages to overcome a desperate situation. whoops.
Or maybe the lesson was "everyone has weakness, so don't cry when a giant robot kidnap you"

a Den-O kind of episode. and J is always rushing to action is kinda crazy. This episode doesn't get me reminded of Umeko at first, but rather Kagami singing the song to Jyuka's classmates in a stopped bus in Kabuto.

What's the name of the new Megazord? we already got Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon.

edit: sorry, i'm in the middle of assembling my gunpla model, got confused with the naming

oh my, Avatars really need time to enjoy themselves, do they? Escape in a Christmas outfit....... :shock:

Oh, good question. According to the TV-Asahi page it's Megazord Zeta. メガゾードζ

Guess I'll add that to the wiki.

>What's the name of the new Megazord? we already got Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Zeta and Epsilon.

Wait what? The fourth one is Delta, not Zeta.

The only question I have is that, if Youko couldn't transform while on the Messiah Megazord while it was in what i'm going to assume is some sort of pseudo-subdimension, then why was it that she could transform later after Hiromu and Ryuji broke in? I mean, the megazord went back into the pseudo-subdimension after they broke in so...yeah. The only explanation I could think of would be that she only assumed she couldn't transform because she couldn't communicate with call mode. But other than that, I liked the episode. Can't believe I didn't see the Delta Messiah Megazord [Type Zeta?] coming though.

Me and Mag were wondering about that too. (For me, I was wondering why Ryuuji was able to do a powered morphin inside). After they broke in, the communicators worked, so I guess that means they were free to transform again.

If a Sentai is a Military or Government task force the rule is, If they can't reach the HQ no transform for them.

Since she was radio jammed she couldn't cue a transformation from HQ.

In SPD if Ban couldn't contact HQ he couldn't get DekaMetal.

I'm sure there's others.

But if this was like Shinkenger, Magiranger, Carranger where their transformations come from magic. Then they can do it anywhere.

yeah but, they only communicated with each other. I chalked that up to them then being in the same place and could therefore communicate with each other but not with the base...

Yeah, maybe. But they're obviously in contact with the base after the break in. Ryuuji does a Powered Morphin which means Gorisaki has to be able to transport into the train. Youko also uses a Transport for her weapon inside as well.
