The enemy is marriage themed and has a giant Queen. I read a theory somewhere that maybe Tegasword and the Queen were a couple. They had an argument, and now it's also everyone's problem. I think that would be hilarious if it were true.
So the core 5 is getting super powers from the rings. Do the Sentai Rings also give powers to their users?
Yellow's expression when he saw old man Green was just golden.
Hahahahah omg that's genius. Well played, Toei-san!

The Greengrocer
The part-time job this time was the greengrocer. By the way, this isn't just any greengrocer, it's a "You can look great greengrocer." If you look closely, you'll see that there's a photo booth and fruits were displayed like ornaments... The setting was that the greengrocer was run by a shop owner who wants to "go viral" on today's social media. It's this strong desire for popularity that attracted No-One's attention.
This was directed by Director Yamaguchi Kyohei, including Hoeru's headgear. During the costume fittings, the staff got excited trying out which headgear would look best on him lol.
The role of the greengrocer owner was played by Fukuyoshi Hisao-san. Originally, the plan was for him to not wear a headgear, but during the costume fitting, the apple looked so good on Fukuyoshi-san that we decided to have him wear one!
The youngest ultra-charismatic Prime Minister, Atami Tokonatsu!
The Universe Warrior with the ring who can transform into Don Momotarou! (The portable shrine was of course the same one used in Donbro.) The reason we chose Don Momotarou as the Prime Minister was because the "Don" of Japan is the Prime Minister. Is that a pun?
As Producer Matsuura said before, the characters who transform into the Reds will not follow the original characters charistics, but will be depicted as new Gozyuger characters. As you've probably noticed, the Tegaswords held by the Ring Warriors other than the Gozyugers are silver. Their transformation movements are also a little different from those of the Gozyugers, so be sure to pay attention to that as well!
And the person playing Atami Tokonatsu is... Nanase Kou! Nanase-san stole the show last week when his appearances were announced, and he also had a great career in the Land of Light. He even made an appearance on Sunday morning now! The Prime Minister will continue to appear in future episodes, so please look forward to it!
The portable shrine jet was a scene that Writer Akiko was particularly fond of. And the peach perfume that Tokonatsu used was also the official Don Brothers perfume released by Fairy Tail. If you want to be enveloped in the same scent, search for "Don Brothers perfume"!

So, let's introduce everyone who appeared in his lecture. The girl who was in trouble for spilling ketchup was Yamaguchi Ouka-san, and the old man carrying the luggage was Hirose Mitsuru-san! Next it's Hoeru's turn! The young man who was the victim of the laundry was played by Itsuki Miyadi-san!
Thanks to Prime Minister, Hoeru had a mysterious surge of confidence, but in the end, it was the Prime Minister who stole all the popularity. He's a true politician, using those around him to his advantage.
Despite all that happened, Hoeru managed to rescue the greengrocer owner. The scene where he received a "thank you" from the owner was wonderful!
Being the most popular person is great, but if you receive a heartfelt thank you from just one person, it means you've become that person's number one!
No-one
A distinctive feature of the No-Ones is that all of them wear a NO.1 belt around their waist. This time's No-One was the No.1 most popular, so his head was a spotlight, and he had a like buttons and ♡ buttons on its chest. He even had a beauty pageant-style crown and sash on his arm!
The design was provided by Hisa Masato-san, and he was voiced by by Tanaka Mio-san! Thank you as always!
Ichikawa Sumino
Sumino is a girl who uses many different faces. The basic setting of her character is "cunning girl," but that doesn't seem to be her true self.
I wonder if she was really surprised by the parfait's price...? Ryuugi was shocked, but a 2500 yen parfait was certainly expensive... It seems that even Ryuugi, who is surprisingly naive, has a secret too.
Sumino left like the wind for a high-rise apartment social gathering or something. The scriptwriter, Inoue Akiko, said that Sumino's character image is a "Minato Ward girl"「港区女子」. Minato Ward in Tokyo is an upscale commercial area where wealthy people live. Women who enjoy dining at fashionable restaurants and drinking at bars in this area are referred to as "Minato girls." However, it also carries a derogatory meaning of women who hang around in Minato Ward for wealthy men.
It is quite difficult to symbolically recreate a Minato Ward girl... The director, costumes, makeup artists, and the on-site staff all secretly complain every time. But with combine effort of the staff, they managed to solidify the image!
Byakuya Rikuo
Speaking of popular... Rikuo-sama won't stay quiet!
This was the first performance of Rikuo's signature character song, "Wild Feelings"! This song was produced by an incredibly impressive lineup,
Lyricist: Oikawa Neko
Composer/arranger: Komorita Minoru
Choreography: Smile Saki, who is also well-known for Boonboomger's ED dance
And here's a story about the struggles he faced behind the scenes! Suzuki-san, who plays Rikuo, despite his busy schedule, managed to master the dance in just two practice sessions! In fact, this also overlapped with the practice sessions for the opening dance! Suzuki-san was the only one who had to master the choreography for two songs.
Amazingly, it has been decided that the Rikuo merchandise worn by Rikunists in the main story will be on sale!

Miss Bouquet
Speaking of Rikunists, we can't forget about Miss Bouquet! Due to the filming circumstances, we had to film her jumping around in high heels and screaming as she reacted passionately! Although Bouquet appeared elegant and cool, she was actually quite passionate! She was incredibly upset in the robot battle that followed. It seems that Bouquet is a person with incredible emotional ups and downs.
GozyuEagle
GozyuEagle joins the battle!! Just when you think he's de-transformed...
Grandpa!!!!!!?!?!?!?!
Who was that good-looking guy calling himself GozyuEagle that we saw at the production announcement? For those of you who are wondering this, don't worry, Toei didn't deceive you! Be sure to tune in next week to find out the truth!!!
The Cheer Squad
The cheer squad also makes an appearance when VS Universe Warriors! The cheer squad has been a hot topic since episode 1, but wouldn't it be fun if the cheer squad came before the battle? Producer Matsuura came up with the idea because he thought it would be nice for people who aren't heroes to be cheered on on a Sunday morning. Main Director Tasaki also likes the cheer squad, so the main pillar of a "cheer space" suddenly appeared in the script!
The cheer squad was played by the members of the Chuo University Cheerleading Club! The cheer squad and cheerleaders are the real deal! The choreography was also thought up by the Chuo University members in a short amount of time! Thank you so much, everyone!!
By the way, in the case of VS Universe Warriors, the cheers are a little different from those in the Number One Battle! Please rewatch it!
今回のバイト先は「八百屋さん」。
ちなみにこちら、ただの八百屋じゃありません。
「映えたい八百屋」です。
よーく見ると、フォトブースが作られていたり、
果物もオブジェのようにディスプレイされていたり、、
いわゆる今時の「バズり人気」を狙っている（けど勘違いしてちょっと空回りしている）店主が営む八百屋さん、という設定。
その「人気」を望む強い願いがノーワンを引き寄せてしまったという所にもつながる、山口監督の演出です！
吠の被り物もその演出のひとつ。
衣装合わせでは、どの被り物が似合うかスタッフ陣盛り上がりました。
そんな八百屋店主のおやじを演じてくださったのは、福吉寿雄さん。
もともとおやじさんは被り物をしない予定だったのですが、
衣装合わせであまりにも福吉さんにリンゴが似合うので、
被っていただくことになりました！
==============
史上最年少超カリスマ総理大臣・熱海常夏！
そして、ドンモモタロウに変身する、指輪を持つユニバース戦士！！
※神輿はもちろんドンブラで使用していたもの！
先週のHPで松浦Pも言っていたように、
歴代レッドに変身する人物にはオリジナルのキャラクター像を踏襲せず、
新たなゴジュウジャーの登場人物として描いていきます。
なので、ドンモモタロウは総理大臣！
ちなみになぜ総理大臣にしたかというと、
日本のドンといえば総理大臣だからです。だじゃれかい！
さて、皆様お気づきのとおり、
ゴジュウジャー以外の指輪の戦士がもつテガソードは銀色。
変身所作などもゴジュウジャーたちとそれぞれちょっと違うので、
ぜひそこにもご注目ください！
そんな熱海常夏を演じていただいたのは……
七瀬公さん！
先週の出演解禁でも話題をかっさらっていただきましたが、
光の国でも活躍されていた七瀬さん。
なんとこの度ニチアサにもお越しいただきました！
常夏総理は今後も登場しますので、
引き続きお楽しみに！！！
ちなみに神輿ジェットでの登場は、亜樹子さんこだわりのシーン。
そして常夏が吹いた桃の香水も、
フェアリーテイルさんから発売されている公式のドンブラザーズ香水。
同じ匂いに包まれたい方は、「ドンブラザーズ 香水」で検索！
ということで、
講座にご登場いただいた皆様のご紹介！！！
ケチャップこぼして困っちゃった女の子は、
山口凰華さん！
どうやったらこんなこぼし方になるんだよという感じですが、
常夏パワーでプリンセスに変身して無事解決！
そして、荷物を運ぶご老人は、
広瀬満さん！
次は吠の番！
洗濯物の被害者青年役は、宮地樹さん！
さて、常夏総理のおかげで謎の自信が湧いてきた吠でしたが……
結局すべての人気をかっさらっていったのは常夏総理。
周りを利用してうまいこと立ち回るのはさすがの政治家ですね。
色々とありつつ、八百屋のおやじを助け出すことができた吠。
店主から「ありがとう」の声をもらったシーン、素敵でしたね！
人気者ナンバーワンも素敵だけど、
たった一人からでも心からのありがとうをもらえれば
それも相手のナンバーワンになれたということ！
==============
ノーワンはみんなNO.１ベルトを腰につけているのが特徴。
今回のノーワンは人気者NO.１ということで、
頭はスポットライトをあびている人型、
胸にはグッドボタンと♡ボタン、
さらに腕にはミスコン風の王冠とタスキが！
デザインいただいたのは、久正人さん！
毎度素敵なデザインをありがとうございます！
そして、人気者ノーワンの声を演じてくださったのは、
田中美央さん！
==============
人気者といえば……陸王様がだまってないぜ！
ということで、
陸王の持ち歌キャラソン「野生のカン」初披露です！
なんとこちら、
作詩：及川眠子さん 作曲・編曲：コモリタミノルさん
という超豪華布陣で制作いただきました！
さらに、「コツコツポンポン」でもお馴染みの、
Smile 紗季さんが振付を担当してくださいました！
そしてここで、ウラ苦労話もひとつ！
陸王を演じる鈴木さん、
忙しいスケジュールの中、なんと練習2回でダンスをマスターしてくださいました…！
しかも、実はオープニングダンスの練習期間とも重なっており、
1人だけ2曲分の振りをマスターする必要があった鈴木さん。
なんと、
＼本編でリクオニストたちが身に着けている陸王グッズの販売が決定！／
==============
そしてリクオニストと言ったら忘れちゃいけないのがこちらのお方。
ブーケ嬢！！
そんなブーケを演じるまるぴさんも、頑張ってくださった一人。
高いヒールで飛び跳ねてキャーキャーとリアクションを撮るお芝居を
撮影の都合上何度も撮らせていただきました……！
ブーケは、上品にすんとしているようで実は結構情熱的！
この後のロボ戦でもものすごい取り乱し方をしてましたが、
ブーケさんは感情の起伏がとんでもない人のようです。
==============
さらに、ゴジュウイーグルが参戦！！
変身解除したかと思いきや……
おじいちゃん！！！！？？？？
あれ、制作発表で見たゴジュウイーグルを名乗るあのイケメンは誰だったの？
となっている皆さん、
大丈夫です、東映が詐欺をしたわけではありません！
ぜひ来週の放送も見てその真相を確かめてくださいませ！！！
==============
VSユニバース戦士でも、もちろん応援団は登場しますよ！！！
1話から話題の応援団ですが、
バトル前に応援団が来てくれたら面白くない？
ヒーローじゃなくても日曜日の朝から応援してもらえるみたいで嬉しいよねと、
松浦Pが発案したもの。
メイン監督の田﨑監督も元々応援団が好きだったそうで、
台本にいきなり「応援空間」という柱が現れたのでした！
前回もご紹介いただきましたが、
応援団を演じてくださったのは、中央大学応援部の皆様！
応援団もチアも、「本物」の方々です！！
なので、ヒーローたちに伝わる気合も本物！
振付も、短い時間の中で中央大学の皆様に考えていただいております！
皆様、本当にありがとうございました！！
ちなみに、VSユニバース戦士の場合は、
ナンバーワンバトルの時と応援がちょっとだけ違います！
ぜひ何度でもじっくり御覧ください！
But in all seriousness, I'll put a pause on it this week since this episode is all about DonBros. But Inoue had best get it out of her system here, otherwise this is going to be a long year.
Now that I really examine it, it's all rather boring. The base robo is a streamlined gold-on-silver body without much in the way of defining features. While something like Boonboomger Robo was very (very) clunky, it was visually distinct. You won't confuse Tegasword for another Sentai robo, but it's so generic that it borders on being forgettable. Being a solo robot rather than a combiner makes it a bit harder to develop a memorable design, but it can certainly be done, as evidenced by Megaranger and Go-Busters. Though I don't think being a giant hand that transforms into a giant robot is doing it any favors here, as the giant hand form doesn't seem to be useful for anything. I can only hope/pray that we'll get a team robo down the line.
