Gokai 34 released

Post by takenoko »

Huh, was that really the best cartwheel they could get out of Luka's actress?

Huh, the grunts talk and care about money? Too bad thousands of them die in every episode. Ah well.

Ah, this is a Luka origin episode? Cool. It's nice to see how the individual strands are finally coming together.

I guess you can add Dislikes broccoli on Luka's wiki page.

New theme song? I wonder if the Gokaigers will have character songs.

Preview
Spoiler
I've been waiting for this for quite a while. Looks like it's just Sousuke though? I was hoping for the main three at least, oh well.

Trivia: The episode title is done in a weird way, where it's 2 kanji and the rest in katakana. It stands out here, but I honestly never noticed it when working on Go-Onger.


Trivia:
I don't think they ever mention the action commander's name, it's Vannain which is based on Tarao Bannai.
"featuring a detective of the same name who could take on seven different faces,"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bannai_Tarao

Hmmm, Sexy Voice is said to have seven different voices. I wonder if that's a trope that came from these mysteries, or maybe it's from that shichihenge thing.

It was nice to see the actor who played Sonozaki Kirihiko in Kamen Rider W make a guest appearance.

Normally we don't see the Sugoumin up close. I was surprised by the amount of detail in their faces.

I was expecting a Yellow Charge for the GokaiGalleon Buster since the episode focused on Luka. Sadly, we just got stock footage instead.

The cartwheel bugged me too.

Oh, Kimisawa. You were in Den-O and W, so why did you start to quote Decade when you're appearing in Gokaiger?

Joking aside, it was nice to see him in Super Hero Time again. I was so pleased to see him again that it kind of overshadowed Luka's back story. Perhaps because it was really just visual confirmation of Zangyack's explanation for why Luka had a bounty. It was kind of funny to see make fun of Marvelous' goal, only to be sucked in by the faith he had in his dream.

Very nice use of the Gokai Changes to identify the fake. Kind of obvious, but it was done well.

I like that insert song. I think it's supposed to be more for the girls than the rest of the team, so it makes sense it played first in a Luka focus episode.

That was a great episode! I really loved Luka's back story. It makes me like her so much more now. From last time's preview I was kinda hoping for a Megaranger tribute but this was cool too. All in all, I'm going to be very sad in a few months when it is time to meet the next sentai. Gokaiger has just been so much fun!!!

It wasn't a bad episode. With this, all that's left is Doc's and Ahim's story of how they joined the Gokai Crew. Of course, we still don't have much of Doc's background, but that's for another rant altogether.

Fuuraimaru sure is getting a work-out with the pirates. Ninja+Pirate= a lot of fun. LOL! Why argue who is better when you have both work together to kick ass and make an ass out of baddies?

Oh, Did anyone else get the exchange rate of Zagins to Yen? If I could find the Yen to Dollar, that would be a large bit of pocket change LOL!!!

Smart move by Luka using the Ranger Keys to find the real Gai. I would have liked to see her use one of the series with only 5 and have Gai yell "But there isn't a Sixth one for that one!" while the fake-Silver copies their moves LOL! Let's see, who could they have become to bring the pain on the fake? Um...... Let's go with Jetman and use the Grand Power Phoenix on him LOL!

Next Episode:
Spoiler
Oh, Go-Onger are back. BeaRV, Speedor and I think I saw Buson was there. Also, was that a new Engine that was talking at the end with the 'baribari' sentence ender?

Does this week's Action Commander remind anyone of MMPR Season 2 Monster Primitor, that white monkey looking monster that could clone the rangers? Oh God, I like Gai, but his voice is annoying, now we have 2 overlapping Gai voices? lol

Next Week's Episode Spoiler (seen in preview of next episode)

The exchange rate of Zagins to Yen is 1 Zagin=360 Yen and the exchange rate of Yen to Dollars is 1 Yen=0.0130391 Dollars.
Zagin to Yen rate found at:

that was the crappiest cartwheel I have ever seen.

"Just a passing through... business man" :lol:

they've been doing their best to hide it, but Luka has some thick thighs.

How about like this?"Gai, we're going to use this" *took out GoGo V's Keys*. Gai will be like "Luka-san, there's no 6th Ranger Key for that Sentai! Wait, is there?"
EPIC WIN!!!

I <3 this episode...mainly because Kirihiko's actor came back. I'm pretty excited about the next episode, WE FINALLY GET TO SEE THE GO-ONGER'S GRAND POWER, I'm hoping that it's better then the Hurricanger's power. IMO that power has been used WAAAAAAAY too many times already. I for one would like to see Gao or Deka Gokai-Oh at least one more time.

What's with Luka's look at the end? They're supposed to be on friendly terms, but she was like, "Punk... GTFO!"

This episode's a winner for allowing us to connect the dots.

Perfect. PERFECT. This is what perfect truly is. I really will not even highlight everything I liked, I'm just out of words. Amazing character development for Luka, Luka's past, Fuuraimaru doing something apart from helping in mecha battles, the Gokaiger proving their bonds once again by noticing something was wrong with Luka, use of Megaranger to gain advantage.

THIS is how episodes should be written. Kudos to the writers, they did a great job and it wasn't even a tribute episode contributing to the main plot. Now I'm fully satisfied with the development of Marvelous/Joe/Luka/Gai, so all we need is to have that rumoured Ahim episode and possibly a Hakase one and I will be happy.

Spoiler
Next week: Dekaranger full gokai change (including DekaBreak), Go-onger, Sousuke, Bomber (BomBom), FULL BATTLE FEVER gokai change and full Changeman gokai change. Because this is how pirates do it!
