Shinkenger 14 Released

Post by Phoenix512 »

What's this? How did Akusara possess an Ayakashi?

Spoiler
Mister Brown was pretty funny. Takeru using a fire attack on a flame Ayakashi, that's just sad. And then moping about his "The samurai sentai under providence" line being stolen by Mister Brown was great as well.

Mister Brown doesn't quite grasp the Japanese language or chopsticks either.

Is it me or Shinkenger outfits are trying to less colored associated than their other sentai counterparts.

Good episode.

Certainly interesting to bring back a extra from a previous episode and make an entire episode out of it, I think that might be a first for the Sentai series.

Hopefully this is Toei's way of testing the waters for a Brown Ranger in the future. I'm looking forward to it >_>

I like how they had a foreigner being taught the ways of the Samurai. It makes it kind of easy for fans like me to imagine being in Richard Brown's place.

Edit: If anyone's interested, the actor's name is John Kaminari.

I'm surprised it was so easy for a random guy visiting Japan to track down the Shinkengers all the way to their mansion.

The kuroko must like Ryuunosuke a lot. He seems to be the only Shinkenger who makes an effort to treat them as human beings rather than faceless servants.

I find it extremely ironic to hear Chiaki criticizing someone for becoming a burden to the Shinkengers.

Anyways, back on topic. I thought Brown was a self-centered. Clearly Ryunosuke was ON FIRE, and he was only concerned about himself. :|

I'm loving Shinkenger more and more with each episode!

I almost always hate such foreigner-centered episodes, but by God I loved this episode more than the last one! Richard Brown wasn't annoying or irritating to watch while he's failing miserably, and even though he has no idea what being a samurai is all about, he's got heart. That little speech near the end made me wonder if there will ever be a foreigner ranger any time soon.

Oh so that's why I was thinking 'Kaminari' while I was watching. I must've seen him from somewhere else before.

NinjaBlack from Kakuranger was a Japanese American, when he first showed up in the series actually, he could only speak English, having to learn Japanese from his teammates. The guy who played him was actually born in Los Angeles, so he spoke fluent English, not accented.

Pretty good episode, but seriously, Takeru using a fire attack on a fire ayakashi? Not very smart. I figured wind wouldn't work very well either. But they could've at least tried earth, I mean, dumping sand on fires can put them out.

And I was getting flashbacks to Asakura from Ryuki with all the vexation going on. And Rescue Force/Fire needed to be around to put out all those fires that were going on. So yeah, pretty good episode. Though I don't see why they needed to form Chou Shinken-Oh to defeat it...it was already basically down from the water attack.

Mr Brown is quite cool, his comedic timing is perfect.

This ep is one of the best ep in this season

I know it's his name and everything, but seeing how everyone calls him "Brown" in the ranger battle gives me flashback of Boukenger.

"In mission, we use codenames/color."

I think Mister Brown will fit right in :lol:
