Gokaiger 27 released
Oh my God, yellow and green jumping back and forth ineffectively with their weapons is too funny. Plus Luka even makes firing noises
Nice uhh... rocket pack, monster of the week.
Heh, nice hair, Don.
I like the shot of the Japanese houses in the background. All the same level. Like the manga at the library. All the same size. Ah, so neat and organized.
Nice use of the mic, Gai.
Good job telling them that the only way to undo the switcheroo is by defeating you, monster of the week. XD
"Simple tte ii" Well said, Joe.
Wow, what a cool gun shot scene. It was so powerful that it knocked them outside! Oh, but I guess it didn't work because they got up again.
Anyway, what a fun episode all around.
Trivia:
Looks like this week's monster of the week is Regaeru which comes from ire-kaeru
入れ替える 【いれかえる】 (v1) to replace, to substitute, to shift, to change places
I'm a little curious as to why the k becomes a g, since the original irekaeru construct doesn't use the g.
Edit: Wait a minute, I just realized something
This shot is from the outside of the bathroom. So basically, anyone walking by can see guys peeing in the stalls. I don't know if they just did this so that it'd be an easy transitional shot, but shouldn't there be some kind of visual barrier at least? You can't complain too much about people watching you pee if you just leave the door open.

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
If you look at the shot just before when that screen is taken, though, you see that Lu(Hakase)ka has to walk into a small little alleyway to even enter there:
Presumably the little alley provides an amount of privacy because people would be unlikely to walk down it unless they specifically had to go inside the bathroom.
Plus you can tell that there's a door that is perhaps usually closed. The production team might have just opened the door to serve the scene.
It is still an oddly laid out bathroom, though. Could be due to space limitations.
I've now fulfilled my lifelong dream to dissect the bathroom architecture of a scene from a toku show.

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
I loved this episode. It was very funny to see two opposite characters change bodies. I also thought Luka would be in som shady buisness or at lest in trouble when thoe maffia-guys started to chase Luka(Hakase)

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
This episode was pretty funny. I really had to laugh at the simple things. I wonder how much Luka charged Gai and Doc for the fine LOL!!!

*proceeds to mess with Don's body*
I hope Luka learns about being a hypocrite from a Super Sempai. It'd be a good lesson.

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
I was hoping they would have swapped colors in the last henshin. One would think that each would have pulled their own color key by instinct and the Gokai change would have gender matched anyway. At least the swapped poses were fun.

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
Look out, its a freaky friday! "Not a scratch, herr doktor..."
...Wouldn't it be suspicious if all the world leaders started speaking japanese?
...I was led to believe that a world peace conference would have more high school students.

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
Luna/Trigger dopant. Seriously. I can't be the only one that thought that. And Luka dresses Don just like Philip. ...I may miss W...
Don should fine Luka. I wonder how many times she changed clothes. And what is she expecting him to do with all that stuff she bought.
Genderbending fighting was fun though. I thought that they would switch keys, but I guess that would mean new costumes to fit the suit actors. But those have got to be cheaper than some of the others they've has one shots of.
Also, I can't resist:

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
Hmm.. I have to question the idea of holding a peace conference in a country that seems to be the focus of an alien invasion.
Hmm.. Have there been any Caucasian Sentai members? or even non-Asian?
and ShinkenBrown doesn't count.

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
I suppose we can't get through the year without the usual body switch episode.
Although this one has been the best one in a while.

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
Assuming this gets a Power Rangers version that doesn't deviate that far, I would be totally unsurprised if the Green Ranger gets featured in a Very Special Episode about depression/suicide. Stuff that happened was almost too sobering and detracted from an otherwise amusing episode.

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
I believe the first Miss America from Battle Fever was Caucasian. Then again, she apparently spoke very little Japanese and had to be dubbed over by a Japanese actress... Aside from her, Momo Ranger and Heart Queen were both half-Caucasian.Silent_X wrote:Hmm.. Have there been any Caucasian Sentai members? or even non-Asian?

Re: Gokaiger 27 released
Gonna go out on a limb and say no. The closest they seem to get is "japanese people who come from the jungle/America/France/space". Shit, the Gokaiger aren't even human.Silent_X wrote:Hmm..

Keep in mind how non-asians are portrayed on these shows. We're generally used as comic relief unless there's a point to the character being foreign, like the world leaders in this episode. It's going to take a while before Japan moves on from "it's funny because they're white." At least we got a female Red, so... yay for progressivism in Japan?
