Reiwa Mitsy isn't wrong simply for saying the system sucks but he's always been a gently caress You Spite Mine about it. First he wanted whatever would hurt Geats most, and now he's gone all "anarchy but only if I'm at the top." It's not the same as Kaito wanting to burn it all down because he was a sincere and total misanthrope.

Did Himeno seriously just ask if Kabutan and Sasorinne/Scorpi had crushes on each other, LMAO

I wonder if they'll ever 'translate' the Shugod's dialogue for the audience at some point instead of just having us infer based on what the human characters reply with.

Giving Toei a reason to make robot gods talk clearly so audiences can hear usually leads to them becoming huge dicks, so maybe keep them only understandable by the cast. I don't want to have to hear Kuwagon yelling "KILL YOUR BROTHER GIRA"

I am curious to see where exactly Racles got his new powers from at least

Edit: Apparently we’re getting a spin-off about him this weekend so that might answer a few questions

the big bad generals are really paper thin versus how much personality Donbrothers had, but I guess there's enough in-fighting between the sentai team to make up for it.

i really hate that loudmouth that's stirring the crowd, obviously a plant to stir the mob, but hope he gets squashed hard, so annoying.

so guess the division is Red, Blue, Yellow trio is the 'main face' of the team.

purple is neutral

black is just solo, looking out for himself with his schemes.

It being JUST the Emperor and his Prime Minister at this point, not counting any MOTW, definitely makes me feel as if, even if it's not Racles, some new Bugnarok major villains will show up at some point. Like, early on in Kiramager it was just Caranchula and Galza, it took until the mid-20s for Yodonna to enter the picture.

Shin Kamen Rider tickets are officially on sale at Cinemark theaters right now. I'm gonna hold off for a bit and see if it's playing at the AMC closer to my condo, but if not, it's playing at the Cinemark near my old apartment/work.

I'm very behind on my shows so I only just saw the Neon reveal. I know I'm dumb and this probably wouldn't be the reaction a normal person would have to it, but all I can think of when I saw the reveal was "Wait, why is Neon upset and depressed about this? Her backstory is literally 'My dad thought his daughter sucked and wished for a better daughter, who is me, drat I'm awesome.'"

The thing that sucked about his previous daughter was that she was murdered.

She died because she was kidnapped and murdered when she was a little girl

Her dad’s kind of an rear end in a top hat though but that’s nothing new for Kamen Rider

I'm watching the Zett dub with a friend who's watching it as their first Ultraman show, and I know Juggler shows up in the next episode, so I'm wondering how to explain him. Obviously I'll say he was in a previous show, Orb but, uhh, how does his arc go? My gut/what I know says it's broadly "anti hero, then villain, and now he's a hero who still is kinda shady"?

Her entire life has been a lie. She has the memories of someone she's not. Her mother thinks she's someone she's not. She's questioning everything now, since every memory she has before that birthday are those of Akari and not hers. Even the most traumatic moment of her life is false, and the reality of it is even more depressing.

She needs to see what Neon, and not Akari's or Akari's double's, life would be. Leaving the Kurama life behind is part of it, but we'll see where this arc goes. She'll also definitely need to face her father/creator sooner or later.

He once cut down a tree that he shouldn't have, convinced it was the right thing to do. But now he understands he shouldn't have cut down that tree.

I feel like the Bugnarok Emperor will either get killed halfway through or end up being one of those Sentai villains that's around from the start, but does almost nothing until the very end. The minister feels like he could be up to something bigger.

Yeah, so far Racles and his cronies seem like more interesting villains than the entirety of the bugs so far. I assume there’s going to be some crossover between the two later unless the former makes a face turn for whatever reason

I’m also curious what the deal with our spider themed 6th Ranger is going to be and the guy with the cicada that killed Himeno’s parents

There are some others where the robots are independent entities, and also if you count the ones where the base robot is actually only part of the base team (offhand Kyoryuger, Zyuohger, Ryusoulger, Kyuranger).

The big running theory is that Racles' minister guy and the Bugnarok Minister are the same person. This is based on their hair/head shapes and them constantly making the exact same gesture with their hands.

Not even around the jungle. You can see Kaguragi's God Hachi just chilling on the side of a building when the Bugnarok made their big on-air demand.

To be fair, the part where the DGP can make him lose his memories is what made him actually go for it. Before they brought that up he wasn't interested.

I guess the memory loss either didn't take or didn't last, though, huh.

watched the Power Rangers Once and Always.
I heard David Yost wanted to do a full like 8 episode or so series on netflix, and I can see it. They definitely rushed thru a lot in the 55 minute time span they had. Could have definitely called back and had a lot more cameos to star in instead of the 4 or so we got.

Maybe it's just poor writing but did Yellow's motivation go from

1) Scorpion poison killed parents, so must take revenge on God Scorpion
2) Shugods are just machines, so not culpable for murder
3) Shugods have feelings, so they are friends now

Wouldn't 3 recontextualize 2?

Your thought is correct. That's Tomoya Warabino, actor for Heart. It also confirms he's not just a married older man (a rarity, the only other one I can think of is Shunichi Maki in The Next), he's also the commander of Blazar's defense team: SKaRD.
Oh also that newspaper doesn't show it but the poster revealed SKaRD has their own knockoff Mechagodzilla named Earthgaron.

Hopefully that’s a sign that Blazer is effectively going to be an Ultraman/kaiju buddy cop series
