Ratings for last week's episode: 4.57 out of 5 (7 votes)

Taiya with the shaky fingers!

I see Genba is free to be a cat boy now

Genba's Boom Orange title is removed from the opening credits

Huh, guess Japan's globes are in Japanese

Feel like we don't see black and pink hanging out that often

I guess it's kind of funny for carpet to be the way to contain soaked up gyahsoline. Carpets abosrb everything, unforunately

Ristorante?

Itashaa waitress

I like that the people just walked into this restaurnt full of weird aliens. Itashaa is doing a dance in the back while their gyahsoline is sucked

Raita, you're not the commander in this series! Don't give orders!

Oh, I was wondering if he always had the dog on his hand. Guess that makes the puppeting easier

I feel bad for the monster of the week, that sign on his back looks awkward

Suddenly we're in the cave filming location

Weirdly good crab claw cgi

Is this secretly a Boom Black episode? The solo fight is good, but I feel like the character and story didn't do enough to support it

Nice finisher pose Police Robo

Huh, Shashiro intrigue

Pink's boyfriend is back again?

Gotta admit, that was a bit of a let down after the excitement from last week. One nitpick I have for this series is that, while it's entertaining, it never really rises to any sort of greatness or memorability. There's barely any story and anything character focused tends to happen really quickly in order to get to the fight scenes

Like compare this to past Sentai shows. Black and pink's dynamic in this episode is pleasant co-workers. Compare this to MegaBlack being uptight and finding MegaPink annoying and shallow or DekaRed and DekaBLue constantly bickering and competing for the spotlight. We get teases of stuff here, but it tends to not be enough and I think it contributes to the flatness of the storytelling here

We made a big deal about Orange going off on his revenge quest and... he's just on the roof mind training his fight with the bad guy. Meanwhile the team... misses him and that... encourages black to fight even better than usual. It's alright, but doesn't that sound boring in summary? Why aren't we seeing Orange use his clever clever brain to track down his mortal enemy or seeing the team actually struggle to be down a person? Maybe he stops giving a fuck and is a fulltime cat person, scaring normal humans as he goes on his revenge quest? Give me some actual struggle or conflict so the story has stakes. Don't just hint at something at the end of the episode and give a limp or total lack of payoff in the next episode

4/5 stars it's fine, but you're leaving plot money on the table

[HowlingSnail]

I forgot to mention last week, but Disrace's face really looks like Sledge from Power Rangers Dino Charge.

I'm impressed they took Orange (mostly) out of the opening this week. Guess he's not rejoining just yet.

[Yaiba]

Jou usually uses his weapon as a rod, and his finisher is BoonBoom Rod Drive. Folding the rod into an axe and using BoonBoom Axe Drive is Genba's gig. Jou using the axe this time is a nice little detail.

They tried to play into the two members in the sub-team that used BoonBoom Booster. But unlike the main three, these two didn't really have any bonding moments before, so it didn't really pay off here.

Naito really doesn't feel like an enemy. He's such a good mentor to Taiya. I'm really interesting to see what's his angle with the ISA.

Where did Sakito disappeared to during the robot fight?

Was Disrace paying attention to Boondario at the end? Will be finally get Boondario's backstory?

Ps. Judging by the blog, this week's MOTW was really expensive with the glowing lights.

Genba
There are two meanings behind the title of this episode.
The noisy Neon light Guruma, which Joe shaked off and defeated. And the warm light of the Boonboomgers, which Genba was trying to shake off. It's a sad title, with the "light" and "shake off" having completely opposide meanings.

Iuchi-kun (Taiya) also wondered why didn't they stop Genba from leaving? He asked the staff the reason before filming began. The reason was that, roughly speaking, adults don't usually interfere too much with other people's lives.

It's very difficult to put into words lol. For example, when you're in middle school and your best friend says he wants to quit the club, you tend to stop him with all your might.
But when it comes to the choices your best friend makes as an adult, don't you often just silently watch over them? Whether it's changing jobs or quitting your job.

As Genba chases revenge and loses sight of what's around him, a traditional Super Sentai strategy would be to stop him even if it meant hitting him. But Taiya believes in Genba, so he chooses not to do that. Writer Tomioka-sensei said "I don't want to just hit him and drag him back."


"Nameru" Director Watanabe
"Nameru" (ナメる) is a filming terminology that means deliberately placing an object between the camera and the subject, and then film through the object. In other words, using foreground elements.

When watching the preview, Producing Kuji couldn't help but comment, "You really used a lot of foreground elements this time." I did notice a few, but I wasn't paying any attention. For the producer to point out deliberately, it must be really noticeable.

Director Watanabe always this technique to give us such passionate scenes. When he heard the producer's comment, he said, "I heard the steel beams calling to me to film through them."

Check out the results. These magnificent foreground shots!




Looking at these, we can see that this technique is often used when emotions subtly change or when there is an uneasy atmosphere. The foregrounds add depth to the scene, making each scene feel more realistic.
If you watch without paying attention to them, they are one of the elements that draw you into the scene. But if you pay attention to them, its quite interesting to notice their placements.


Mad Rex
He's now called "Mad Rex Fury." Fury is a word that expresses intensity or strong anger. It's definitely not a name borrowed from "Mad Max: Furiosa"

The Hashiri dog that was previously attached to his thigh is now on his left arm, and its cry is "bararira bararira...".
Something's different from before...??


Neon Gurumaa
It's incredible, isn't it? The design was like a concentrated version of Shimamoto-sensei's strong points. I was really surprised when I saw it. In fact, it's the biggest shock I had up till this episode, so I'm making a special public release for everyone!


In addition to the huge crab and pufferfish signs that I feel like I've seen somewhere before, there's a miniature car on it and a Gu◯ko-like design...it's kind of cute!!

But with this size and the full-body light-up gimmick, the price... the price wasn't cute!! Also, in the initial design there were other faces that weren't angry, but let's keep this between you and me, we had to reluctantly omit some of them due to modeling and cost constraints...

And there's only one reason why we went to fight the dark cave! The expensive Neon Gurumaa wouldn't be cost-effective if we didn't make it glow!!

...That's one reason, but this dark location was actually in a very cool place. We went there so that the action team could give their full action outside of the harsh conditions in the middle of summer.

And in order to make sure Saito's face was visible during this transformation scene, we actually filmed him wearing the suit on set.



Opening
Did you all notice? The opening has changed.
Up until now, there have been minor changes with the addition of Sakito, and we've delivered different videos to the lyrics "Doki doki doki doki doki doki ♪".

But this time Genba is gone...

In the 49-year history of the Super Sentai series, there were many additional warriors, and the amount of footage added were as numerous as the stars in the sky. But it's rare for someone to be taken out. There's nothing that can be done about it. Genba himself announced his departure, and Taiya didn't stop him. Genba is officially no longer a Boonboomger.

Original Japanese Text

今回のサブタイトルには2つの意味が込められています。
錠が振り切って倒したネオングルマーという喧騒の光。
そして玄蕃が自分と戦いながら振り切ろうとしている“ブンブンジャー”という温かい光。
同じ“光”でも、同じ“振り切って”でも意味が全然違う、切ないタイトルでした…。

井内くんも演じるにあたって、「なんで止めないんだろう」と思ったようで、
撮影に入る前に理由を聞いてきました。
その理由とは、ザックリ言うと「他人の人生に口を出しすぎないのがリアルな大人だよね」というところでして、文章にするには非常に難しいんです汗
例えるなら、中学生の頃に部活の親友が退部するって言ったら全力で止めがち。
でも大人になってからの親友の選択って、
黙って見守るパターンが多くありませんか？転職にしろ、退職にしろ。

しかも復讐に走り周りが見えなくなっているので、
殴ってでも止めるのが従来のスーパー戦隊かもしれません。
でも大也は玄蕃を信じているのでそれをしない選択をとったということ。
冨岡先生は「簡単に殴って引き戻すようなことはしたくない」といったことを話していました。

=================
毎度アツい話を撮ってくださる渡辺監督。
実は今回オールラッシュを観た時に思わず久慈Pから「今回、ナメまくってましたね〜」の感想が飛び出ました。

“ナメる”とは撮影用語で、被写体を写す時にあえてカメラとの間に物を置き
物越しに撮影することを言います。
たしかに何個かは気付いたのですが、
久慈Pが言葉にするほどと言うことは相当に違いない。
そしてその指摘を受けた渡辺監督は
「鉄骨から俺をナメろと言う声が聞こえたんですよ」と。
けだし名言。
渡辺監督くらいになると環境の方から声をかけてくるらしい…。

全然気にならずに観ていた私は
「俺ぁまだまだ浅いな」と思い“ナメ探しゲーム”をしながら観てみました。

その結果をご覧ください。
この見事なナメの数々を…！！

こうして見ると、静かに心情が動く時や
不穏な空気の時に多くこの技法が使われていますね。
ナメのおかげで画面に奥行きが出てどれも臨場感あるシーンになっています。
気にしないで観ると引き込まれる要素の一つとして作用していますが、気にして観るとこれが結構面白い。

=================
ブーンレッドの宿敵、マッドレックスを復活させてしまいました。
その名も“マッドレックス フューリー”。
フューリーとは激しさや強い怒りなんかを表す言葉です。
決して『マッド◯ックス：フュリ○サ』から引っ張ってきたとかじゃないですからね。

かつて大腿部についていたハシリ犬は左腕に配置され、
その鳴き声は「バラリラバラリラ…」。
なにか、以前とは違う…？？

=================
そうです、こいつがネオングルマー。
ものすごいですよね、島本先生の濃い味が凝縮されたようなデザイン。
一度見たら忘れることはないでしょう。

デザイン画を拝見した時の衝撃が
28話までの中で1番だったので皆様にも特別に公開！
どこかで見たようなでっけ〜カニの看板やフグの看板に加え、
ミニヤルカーが乗っていたりグ◯コっぽいデザインやら…なんか可愛いかも！！

でもこのサイズ感に全体発光ギミック、
お値段が…お値段が可愛くなかった…！！

また、最初のデザイン画では怒ってない顔もあったのですが、
造形やら費用の都合上泣く泣くオミットしたものがあったのはここだけの話…。

暗闇に行った理由はただ一つ！
高かったネオングルマーを光らせないとコスパが悪いだろ！！

…というのもありますが、
この暗闇のロケ地は実はとても涼しい場所にあります。
真夏のロケ、過酷なアクション部の皆様に全力を発揮してもらうため行った側面もございます。

この変身カットは齋藤くんの顔をしっかり見せるため、
実際に現場でスーツを着てもらい撮影しました。

=================
みなさんお気づきでしょうか、OPが変わりました。
これまでも先斗加入でマイナーチェンジされたり
「ドキドキドキドキドキドキって♪」に合わせて色んな映像をお届けしてきました。
が、今回は…
玄蕃がいなくなってしまいました…。
これまで追加戦士は数多く、足された映像も星の数ほど。
それがスーパー戦隊シリーズ49年の歴史です。
しかしマイナスされるってことはあんまりなかったのでは…。
でもこれは仕方がありません。
玄蕃自身が脱退を表明し、大也もそれを止めませんでした。
今、玄蕃は公式的にブンブンジャーではない状況です。

That's a cool attention to detail

Oh, I noticed the cars, but didn't notice the others. I'll have to start paying attention to that

Mad Rex
He's now called "Mad Rex Fury." Fury is a word that expresses intensity or strong anger. It's definitely not a name borrowed from "Mad Max: Furiosa"

Did they say that? because it's definitely a reference to Fury Road lol

oh nice

Hers's the original lines.

It's censored, but I think マッド◯ックス：フュリ◯サ would mean Mad◯x：Furi◯sa.

[Lunagel]

Yeah he's pretty obviously joking, it's absolutely a reference

[takenoko]

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9E ... C%E3%83%89

Well, now I'm confused because Fury Road in Japan is called Ikari no Death Road.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9E ... A%E3%82%B5
Where's Furiosa is there but that's not the same as Fury

Mad Max: Fury Road マッド マックス: フューリー ロード
But if you spelled the English name in Japanese you would get the same Fury as Fury Road. So maybe the writer wrote in the joke based on the first movie, but the producer wasn't aware of the original title so he assumed it was for the second?

[Yaiba]

Its the newest movie in the franchise released in 2024.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furiosa:_A_Mad_Max_Saga

[DrewHLMW]

Come back Genba! you even left the intro lol
Jou was cool, I liked his fight with the Neon monster.
The grunts aren't exactly disguised how did people fall for that lol I get it suspension of disbelief cause there's some costume stuff involved but it wasnt exactly made clear if it was a team rocket situation or not.
Mad Rex is gonna be pretty dull without his personality, hope he gets it back soon.

[takenoko]

Its the newest movie in the franchise released in 2024.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furiosa:_A_Mad_Max_Saga

Right, but they don't match. It makes me think that the writers named it after Fury Road and Yoshikawa Fumiki, the assistant producer who writes the website, thought it was Furiosa since he didn't know the English name

Edit:
A minor bit of trivia, but the couple that enter the restaurant and admire the sign are the same ones who have t heir shoes transformed in episode 12

[Phoenix512]

I would definitely remove all the Boon Orange scenes, have Sakiko replace Genba of the scene where the individual members going from civilian to Boonboomger. Also I would add Genba changing into his alien form.

The scenes when the Doki doki doki doki doki doki part being sung are interesting at a second glance. This episode had Jou looking sad along with Boondorio being depressed. The previous episode had no Boon Orange scene and the group shot at the end is like better times are gone now. Episode 26 had Genba with his back turned with his head on the left and was the last scene. I haven't gone back to the previous episodes but episode 24 had Taiyo making the secret sign which the episode was involving him with his former teacher.

[msf232]

I never noticed that the video clips changed in that one part in the opening sequence
Nice!
