I didn't understand how Noah believing in himself allowed him to lift that axe despite not being able to do it literally two seconds earlier. Still the moral of the day wasn't as bad as this week's episode, where we learn that it takes years of special training to become a ranger. Even though the current team are just five kids picked almost at random with no real training to speak of.

Also Megaforce red is just a real doll that got brought to life somehow.

The moral of the day in that Noah episode is that it is okay to bring weapons to school.

I also believe Red is a robot.

I do hope that Saban can take the show off of Nick once they finish the contract through Gokaiger. I can't imagine Go-Busters lasting two years, and there's enough story there that they could turn it into something interesting if they could do a 30-40 episode season... :ohdear:
Messiah does die twice. Once around episode 30, again around 46. They could mess around with that and make two 20 episode seasons.

SpazmasterX posted:

Where would the show go? It's options are already limited since there's so few channels geared toward kids, and even fewer with budgets that could sustain the series to begin with. Plus, I'm starting to think that a lot of GoBuster's footage wouldn't be useable since so little of it took place in vague outdoor locations. Then you also have to take in account the fact that they never used stock footage for anything outside of Megazord combinations, so you can't pull the ol' stock footage morph-location change switcharoo. You also have the Buddyroids to deal with, since they are part of the Buster Machine cockpits and Powered Custom (which every fight in the last 1/3rd of the series involves), and Stag Buster doesn't act human at all. Furthermore, there's also several scenes involving their individual weakpoints. GoBusters will be a very expensive series to Americanize, I guarantee it.

And, I don't know if this is a factor or not, Red, Blue, and Yellow all used actual hand to hand combat techniques instead of the flashy martial arts you normally see. So on more than one occasion I can actually recall one of them running their blade across a grunt's neck to destroy it.
Buddyroids = action figures. J would have to stay a robot for the footage to work. Most of the morphs could be replaced with stock footage versions. They could make Enter's ranger form into a good guy like the Titanium Ranger if Bandai wanted to make the toys for it.

quote:

Beyond all that, you still have to make up a whole plotline because there's no way Nickelodeon these days would let them get away with a story nearly as dark and depressing as GoBusters' was. If I had my way, I'd say save some money and dub the whole thing out. It's not so "Japanese" that you'd need to take a bunch of liberties with the script anyways. You could probably get away with a nearly 1:1 conversion.
Remove the whole Christmas backstory and it would be watered down enough for Nick.

So Robo Knight shows up and his voice is pretty much RoboCop.
He proceeds to show off his toys and kill the MOTW in his zord mode.
Then the Rangers say hi to him and the Red Ranger tries to shake his hand. Robo Knight just walks by them. It is at this moment I jump out of my seat, raise my hands in the air and scream "yeah!"

Samurai Ultrazord.
Samurai Gigazord :eng101:

Bandai made a different version for the US. First off, the Samurai Zords were smaller. Second, Samurai Folding Zords couldn't fold. So if you had all the parts for the Gigazord, the yellow zord would be a dangling arm instead of triangle.

Well yeah the imported Shinken-oh works for you because you're an adult collector who can afford to pay a little more for the Japanese original. There aren't many parents out there how are going to spend nearly $300 dollars so their kids can have all the Samurai megazords.

Last Christmas, toysrus had a very nice Gigazord set with all the Samurai zords in it for $130.

Don't sweat it. There's no chance in hell they went through the trouble of improving the Morpher's electronics and making brand new coin molds solely for a con-exclusive collector's item. We're pretty much guaranteed to get a wide release retail version.

What bugs me is all the time I wasted trying to get it. Could have seen the Gravity Falls or Futurama panels.
