Kakuranger 02 – Ninja Yellow, Seikai Appears!!


DO NOT WANT! Anyways, more reaction faces: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14

Warning, the following episode contains monsters making out, a 14-year old female ninja driving a cat bus (I am not doing a Studio Ghibli reference people! The bus just looks like a cat! Heck, the name of the bus is Nekomaru!) and a new ninja named Seikai who sucks in using a Gundam in a video game and was beaten by a kid who used a Gelgoog to beat him! Guess he is not a Newtype… oh, and his face are good reaction image pictures, that’s why I placed a couple of image links below the main picture!


First impressions on Seikai first, Asides that he makes good reaction faces which I screen captured for hilarity sake; he is also a fun character. He loves chicks as seen in one scene in which he asks the girls in the game center who is serving him their phone numbers and compared to the Sasuke and Saizou in the previous episode, he is a capable fighter as Ninja Yellow. The episode also made Tsuruhime status as the team leader quite clear, without her, those two idiots will not look for Seikai in the first place. Also, I now have a crush on Tsuruhime. Hopefully, she will return for Gokaiger, and based on my math, she is 31 years old storywise.

The episode also introduced two things, namely Nekomaru and the ninjustsu to transform our ninjas into their giant form. I love that Nekomaru actually acts like a proper ninja related vehicle since he can disappear and go to hidden barriers in no time! As for the ninjutsu, I love that Sasuke must learn what’s inside the scroll and that that form is not just some random ninja power-up since they were able to establish earlier that the dark cloud can unleash a Youkai’s true ability and this true ability is duh, turn into a giant!


As for Sasuke’s fight as Red Saruder, it was really good. He was able to stand on his own and was able to defeat two demons at the same time! Another thing that I liked about Red Saruder, even if it looks a bit bulky in terms in the outside, he was agile and even did a kick on the Kappa! Speaking of Sasuke being quite a capable fighter, I can’t believe that after an episode he and Saizou became capable fighters! Guess that happens when your ass was kicked by a Kappa who speaks gratuitous English most of the time!

Agreed.

Overall, like the previous episode, it is yet another fun episode and I can’t wait for Jiraiya aka Ninja Black’s debut, the American Ninja! Great, Japan was affected by the stream of American movies that starred kids pretending to be ninjas… and Hulk Hogan.

Ninja Sentai Kakuranger 01 – We Are Ninja Review


In this first episode of Kakuranger, we have two idiots, a princess and pervy narrator and lastly, ninjas! The series opens with a narration by our narrator that tells us that years ago, that five ninjas, Sasuke Sarutobi, Saizou Kirigakure, Seikai Miyoshi, Jiraiya and Tsuruhime sealed a demon named Nurarihyon and years later, two guys named Sasuke and Saizou, decendants of the ninjas, Sasuke and Saizou (duh!) were tricked by a Kappa to break the seal! Now, with the help of Tsuruhime transforms into the Kakurangers!


If there is one thing that I hated about Kakuranger is the narrator. There is nothing wrong with having a narrator in a series but seeing a narrator narrting stuff is kinda distracting. I prefered that he is a guy who tells the story about the Kakurangers in front of his grandchildren than being some old man who just popped in front of you and tells you about ninjas and his love for touching a chick’s ass.


For our duo, Sasuke and Saizou, I find Sasuke some guy you can rely on a bit while as for Saizou, he is one heck of coward that likes money. To be honest, Sasuke has this vibe that he would be a good field leader but seeing how he acted in their first fight as ninjas, I was a bit disappointed. But hey, it is still the first episode! As for Tsuruhime, she is awesome. I love how she fights and how she acted out her responsibility as the leader of this pack of ninjas.


If there is one thing that is unique about this series is the comic book sound effects, and it is really entertaining! It adds up to the silliness of this series asides that we have a quite a narrator! As for the action scenes, it was fun to watch, especially how Ninja White owns every one of the foot soldiers! But as for Ninja Red and Ninja Blue, even if they are the men, they are very disappointing in the battlefield, oh well, since this is their first time, I could let this pass.


Overall, the first episode of Kakuranger is a fun watch. The chemistry between Sasuke and Saizou makes it a worthwhile view. Also, how they opened the series was something. Asides that they gave them background that they are descendants of famed ninjas, the fact that their spirit made an appearance when they gave the Doron Changers was awesome. My only disappointment asides from the narrator is the lack of ninja action in the first episode by our male ninjas.

Hikari-Senshi Releases Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!


Asides from subbing Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoV and Kaiketsu Zubat, asides from releasing Ultraman Gaia, Hikari-Senshi also released the very first ninja-themed Sentai team, Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!

The series is about Saizou and Sasuke, descendants of famed ninjas, Sarutobi Sasuke and Kirigakure Saizo who sealed the Youkai Commander Nurarihyon 400 years ago. Because of the trick made by the surviving member of the Youkai clan, Kappa tricks the two in breaking the seal. Now these two, joined by three other descendants of great ninja, become the Kakuranger to fight the Youkai with the aid of the Sanshinshou.


According to sgtkira when he posted this topic on 4chan's /m/ board, asides from GoGoV and Zubat, Kakuranger will be one of their running projects, so expect future Kakuranger episode releases in the future!

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Episode 1 Images!


Earlier, we posted the real first three episode summaries and just recently, the first images of the famed Legend War, Super Sentai's answer to Kamen Rider's Great Rider War has just surfaced along with pictures for the first episode!


Years ago, the 34 Super Sentai defended the Earth against Space Empire Zangyakku. The soldiers of legend lost their powers during this battle, but through their sacrifice, Zangyakku was able to be repelled from the Earth.

 Red Falcon, fighting more grunts!

 The two ninja-themed Super Sentai themes, Ninja Sentai Kakuranger and Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger cooperating with each other! Now, when will I see the Zyurangers and Abarangers fighting together?


Several years later, we meet a group of young pirates who travel aboard the ship, GoukaiGalleon. They are in search of the Uchuu Saidai no Takara (Greatest Treasure in the Universe). They head towards Earth, where it is said the Greatest Treasure rests.

 Captain Marvelous, transforming into GokaiRed

What is the thing that the Gokaigers saw from above? Could it be the Zangyakku? And why is Don doing Sun Vulcan references?!

The possible first monster of the week along with the grunts.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger premieres on February 13, on tv-asahi's Super Hero Time!
