I'll admit I still find it weird that they did that, only reason I can think of is that the Torrin suit must have fallen apart rather quickly after they wrapped up Kyoryuger

I hope that Power Rangers: Wild Instinct or whatever comes back around full circle, where they bring back JDF as Tommy, only now he's a floating head in a tube who demands "Teenagers With Attitude" from some Minecraft-looking robot that Saban pulls out of their rear end.

They might still end up using him as there are apparently a pair of upcoming characters in Dino Charge named "Zenowing" and "Doomwing" which I'm assuming are the Power Rangers names for Torin and Mad Torin. Whether or not they'll keep him as Silver remains to be seen.

So how come normal people were able to see the Ganma in the most recent episode of Ghost? It didn't seem like a particularly special or unique one, so the fact everybody could see it was a bit odd.

I think that was just a spot of the ol' "bad directing". The report about paranormal occurrences just said that people were busting into blue fire.

I thought that too but when it's attacking, Narita and Shibuya specifically say "She's attacking everyone!" and "Shh, she'll find us!" meaning they could absolutely see her. I don't feel like they'd make a mistake that big considering the entire premise of the Ganma is "invisible to humans" so the fact this one was visible to everybody puzzles me.

I think it has to do with Igor's device.

People could see Knife Ganma too once he was wearing the device. It's either due to something Igor did or just having the soul absorber makes a Ganma visible.

God drat they've already killed two enemy generals within five episodes. We also get some idea of how Yamato is able to use Zyuohger powers as a human.

I wonder if this is going to go a Goseigers route where there's more then one evil organization. Or if more gamblers to play in the Blood Game are gonna show up; it doesn't seem like these three were the only participants, there'd be no reason for the giant bow and arrow roulette space ship if that was the case, other then it looking cool of course. Might make sense that to keep it fresh and introduce new 'playing styles' generals are gonna go down and replacements are gonna pop up. Note I theorize this without actually seeing the episode because I can't watch it right now.

EDIT: After watching it I get the feeling Azald isn't actually dead. Or he has some kind of trick.

Right after he showed up I was wondering if he had the same voice actor as Joseph Joestar in the recent Stardust Crusaders part of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure anime. Especially once he does the big NOOOO. Yep, one Google search later, I found out both are played by Unshō Ishizuka. Cool.

Less impressed with the ZyuohGorilla suit and already getting Red exclusive powerups, though.

At least the red power up has a story motivating it and isn't because he's the best and most firrrrrred up.
I suspect there's a toy sales reason, if they didn't have a new red we'd have to get a sixth; sixths and secondary riders have been showing up earlier and earlier.

And look, this one even has consequences according to the episode preview. When's the last time we've had to weight the ethics of a power up? Gokaiger?

I do miss the shadow line's fights with the toqgers at this point. The fights against the leaders curbstomped the toqgers and the episodes resolved without them winning.

Agreed, and seeing as returning his Zyuman power is obviously out of the question I hope at least he doesn't die at the end of the next episode. Actually having him stick around for a while after this little arc is finished would be nice too.

On top of Larri being Joseph Jo-rilla, the main villain is voiced by the guy who did Kars in Battle Tendancy. :v:

From what I'm reading, the original Amazon isn't actually going to be part of this series, which, you know that's fine.

I really hope Alpha, the red dude, is meant to be the hero though. His helmet is much better than the Green one.

Considering the green one is named after the last letter (Omega) and the red one is named after the first (Alpha)...yeah, there's no way it isn't intentional.

The Kamen Rider Ghost Tumblr has some more info too. Quoting here:

quote:

To celebrate the 45th anniversary, a new weekly mini-series, Kamen Rider Amazons, will premiere on Amazon Prime this April 1st. The series stars Tomi Fujita as Yu Mizusawa / Kamen Rider Amazon Omega, the “cultured-type”, and Kenji Taniguchi as Jin Takayama / Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha, the “wild-type”. Kamen Rider Amazons will be written by Yasuko Kobayashi.

Starring: Tomi Fujita and Kenji Taniguchi
Supporting Actors: Rena Takeda, Ayu Higashi, Mitsutoshi Shundo, Ryota Kobayashi, Ryoma Baba, Kanon Miyahara, Katsuya, Kazuya Tanabe, Hiroshi Asahina, Katou Takako, and Toshimasa Komatsu.
Directed by: Hidenori Ishida, Ryuta Tasaki, and Osamu Kaneda
Written by: Yasuko Kobayashi

Having Kobayashi writing gives me hope for the show, although I find it weird how this seems to be unconnected to the original Amazon series. Is the original actor retired or something? He's never reappeared, not even in other Showa series apart from the immediate follower Stronger.

I believe the actor for Amazon kinda went off the grid after Amazon. I heard an anecdote that a couple decades later, he was surprised that Kamen Rider was still running because he figured that the response to and truncation of Amazon had killed the series.

Looks good so far, though something about it is giving me a real Kamen Rider The First/Next vibe. Also it's too bad they just kind of casually say "Amazon" to transform rather than going with the full "AH-MAH-ZOOON!" from the original (which even the Decade version tried to replicate even if the actor they got for the role was terrible). Still looks interesting though.
