I found out the place I usually get manga from offers ebooks of Monogatari. But also like, stuff like oops the Nise translator was so overwhelmed by wordplay and pop culture references that they skipped some.
I wish I could just read everything with a more consistent level of translation.
I feel like the Nisemonogatari release is the only one of the officially liscenced releases, that really feels like it skipped references.
It's also amusing because one of the references skipped, has a later (minor) payoff (in another novel) because a character referenced, Deka Green (Enari Senichi) is nicknamed, Sen-chan. This gets twisted because Araragi thinks Tsukihi is talking about <Deka Green> in a later scene, when she's calling Nadeko by a nickname.

DekaRanger redraw
“1! Hating Cruel Wickedness”!
”2! Pursue mysterious cases”!
”3! Pursue using futuristic technology”!
”4! Fight malicious intent”!
”5! With immediate speed, annihilate them”!
”SPD”!
”Deka Red”!
”Deka Blue”!
”Deka Green”
“Deka Yellow”
”Deka Pink”
”Tokusou Sentai… Dekaranger”!
A redraw of the main five Dekarangers. BanBan ‘Ban’ Akaza (Deka Red) Houji ‘Hoji’ Tomasu (Deka Blue) Senichi Sen-Chan Enari (Deka Green) Marika ‘Jasmine’ Reimon (Deka Yellow) and Korome ‘Umeko’ Kodou. The previous versions looked pretty bad. The facial expressions of Ban and Jasmine, the hands on Green Yellow and Pink, the rushed look of it all. They overall looked very primitive. So, I redrew all five. I think these updated versions look much better. Though, I like Senichi’s facial expression in the previous version better. For Ban, I drew the version of him on the left as the Fire-Squad version seen in the Ten Years After movie. I especially like the facial expression of the one on the right.
Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger and Super Sentai are owned by Toei and Bandai.
BanBan ‘Ban’ Akaza is played by Ryuji Sainei.
Houji ‘Hoji’ Tomasu is played by Tsuyoshi Hayashi.
Senichi Sen-Chan Enari is played by Yosuke Ito.
Marika ‘Jasmine’ Reimon is played by Ayumi Kinoshita.
Korome ‘Umeko’ Kodou is played by Mika Kikuchi.

dekaranger guys as your older brother
wow i saw Hoji have a breakdown and decided to write this (aka episode 4)
last edit: january21 2022
Ban:
Ban’s a very caring person and wears all his love on his sleeves so he supports you through and through.
He’s the person to get you both in trouble because he’s so reckless and impulsive with all the decisions he makes.
Terribly thought out prank wars.
Seeing his confidence truly influences you and your confidence to the point that you both have matching confident energy.
He’s so lively and very fun to be around.
You guys are gym bros.
Siblings get ripped together B)
He doesn’t let small mistakes get to his head as easily as someone like Hoji does because he makes mistakes constantly.
He’ll brush it off and pick right back up and work even harder towards the issue.
He approaches you making a mistake for something the same way
He doesn’t want you to dwell on it and if anything, is annoyed that you’re moping around.
It's not going to fix itself no matter how much you mull over the mistake.
You can only collect yourself and move forward.
Ban is there by your side to support and see you grow even if his methods are a little aggressive.
Hoji:
He’s literally perfect.
Hoji does everything to practiced precision.
Because of that, he holds everything he does to a very high standard.
This standard thus translates onto you.
To elaborate, he has high expectations for himself and for you because he knows you’re capable.
He seems very stuck up all the time because he knows he’s good and he should be proud.
Despite his arrogance, he’s a very good older brother as he’s at your every beck and call.
He’s actively looking after you even if he doesn’t show it obviously.
Hoji will always give you good advice and he tells you what you need to hear, not what you want.
He’s a great study buddy, will teach you everything he knows, and even more.
When something doesn’t go as planned, major or minor mistake, he understands that funk you get sent into and easily comforts you.
He can’t be happy if you’re sulking so he’ll do his best to cheer you up by making your favorite snacks and offering his input on how you can improve the next time something similar may happen.
Sen:
Oh, our loving and caring Sen-chan.
Having an older brother like Sen-chan is a godsend.
Old people, young children, Sen gets along with them all so any age gap between the two of you is nothing to be worried about as he can converse with anyone.
On the surface, he’s very nonchalant about things and seems very carefree.
no thoughts head empty
You will never have to worry about anything in this world with him around.
He’ll quell any worries you have within two sentences and you’ll never think any further than you already have.
He’s so patient with you and always listens carefully.
Just like we see in the series, he’s rarely mad and when he is, there is always a good reason for it.
He’ll accompany you anywhere you want to go or do AND he won’t even complain.
Your happiness is one of his priorities, so to make sure you are happy, he'll go out of his way to take you places, etc.
If you made some mistake, then feel bad about it, and that you’re even worried that Sen will be mad, have no fear.
Sen-chan is so observant that he'll notice your situation before you admitted it to him.
He will very gently comfort you in the biggest hug and cheer you up the way he knows best.
Going out for food (his treat of course)!!
