No, he was posing as one for the same reason as Shinya was pretending to be one. Easier to not get called a creep for reading girl's comics if they don't know you're a boy.

They use "she" to refer to Luckiero toward the end of the episode, when they want to make fabulous Paramonster grow.

Japan thinks she's a witch with a cat face. Ryulong, obsessive keeper of official terms at any cost (dude switched up the wiki to Deboth the second we saw it romanized in show, despite being the worst Japanese atrocity since WW2), uses female pronouns for her. It seems that may be the case. They don't really use gendered pronouns much in general, and as far as I can tell never have for Luckiero.

If you weren't just looking to see what they were going for and actually are considering buying them, don't buy Ranger Keys on eBay unless there is no other choice (and that's from someone who sells his spares on eBay). The cheapest one I saw there was like $300. Riderproxy will probably have it for around $200 after shipping via EMS, and for a set as big as I anticipate the box being based on the other premium sets I have so far, her price is more than fair. Plus, the first set is open for preorder until December 26th, and the last three premium sets all ended up getting a second production run that released 2-4 months after the first set.

Yeah well, Luckiero uses boku as a pronoun and isn't called out for it the way he would be if he were a bokkuko. He's voiced by a chick known for voicing boy characters, and just because fans in japan draw Luckiero porn where he's a girl doesn't mean the character is a girl. If drawing girl porn of a character meant a character was a girl, there would be no dude characters at all.

Perhaps...perhaps the gender is meant to be ambiguous? Not everything has to fit in a gender binary, even in Japan.

Nah, I was just poking around out of curiosity. I buy ranger keys here and there but I could never justify a three-digit cost to myself. I feel bad even thinking about spending $40-$60 for a Gaburevolver.

Gotta entice you to buy the DVD somehow!

Also all these Death flags for Luckerio kind of clash with the general tone of Kyoryuger. What are the odds he follows Torin's example and becomes a Monster of Bravery?

Tessai is thinking about handing his powers to someone living...

Non-Kyoryu question: Has anyone had any experiences with the sentai DVD boxsets from Malaysia? They're cheap and have (likely terrible) English subtitles, but the packaging looks on the level and the English on it isn't bad. It's setting off a number of red flags for me like all of Dekaranger being available on 2 discs or all of Gokaiger on 3, but I've been wrong before. It'd just be nice to have it all on disc without having to make it myself.

This is how I watched hurricanger and abaranger back in the day. They are TV rips that are super compressed. The english ranges from okay to super bad. The Dekaranger is also probably just super compressed TVN subs and why would you pay money for that.

They are okay if this is the only way to watch something, but I grew up in the day of 7th generation vhs bootlegs and VCDs, so at the time they were way better then that.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I figured. I, too, remember the good old days of lovely VHS copies and awful-looking real media files of anime. It wasn't all that bad back then, but I was cleaning out my garage recently and found a box of my old anime tapes and burned discs; I was briefly excited until I brought a few into the house and hit play... truly HD has spoiled me.

It's so weird/awesome to see a ranger from a Sentai series you've seen in a Power Rangers promotion. I saw the Goseigers in the Gokaiger movie, but I never actually saw the series so it wasn't the same. Gokaiger was the first series I ever watched start to end so it's completely different. Can't wait to actually watch Super Megaforce, whether or not it'll suck, just to be able to recognize the footage and see what they do with it.

Are there any decent alternatives to TVN for Kabuto? I watched half of it while recovering from surgery a few months ago, and while I really enjoyed it, the dialogue was unbearable stilted at times.

Midnight Crew did the first six, but as I recall a lot of them were hosted on Megaupload so when the feds took that down most, in not all of the files were lost too. So no, TV-N's the only subbers who've touched Kabuto.
