Top 5 Sentai suits?

I'm interpreting this as "suits/armor" because if I have to pick a favorite completely non-human/monster you won't get a reply for a couple days

Spider Kumonos 🤍 from King Ohger

OhKuwagata Ohger also (I just think golden accents are really neat)

Zenkaiser red and black (Zenkaiger and Donbrothers)

Sonoi's armor from DonBrothers

I know this is technically 4 but I haven't watched that much Sentai and picking was hard enough

Favorite Sentai suit(s)? I admit I'm not the biggest Sentai nut, leaning more towards Ultraman, but the suits are often cool. Personally, I really like the white and black Abarangers, Zenkaiser, Go-Busters, and especially the Lupinrangers.

First of all, you have great taste in suits! Some of those are among my absolute favorites! Abarekiller has such an amazing look!

I also really appreciate how Go-Busters tried something different with a faux-leather look to their costumes as opposed to the spandex look of others.

I am also a HUGE fan of any Sentai suit that includes a cape like the original Gorengers, Magiranger, Lupinranger or Zenkaiser himself.

But I am still a huge fan of the suits from 2011's Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

There is just something about the pirate look with the high collars and helmets designed to look a bit like hats (another thing I also love about Lupinranger).

And then, there is 1986's Choushinsei Flashman

There is something I just adore about their 1980s futuristic look. I can't exactly put a finger on it, but I love their entire aesthetic. Thanks for asking and Happy Viewing. (Also, OMG I cannot wait to see Shin Ultraman!)

[radroller]

I think ive got it: Zenkai Black doesnt look better than Zenkaiser, it just looks better on its own to me than Zenkaiser does.

[scoups4lyfe]

Did.

Did you not know about Zenkaiser?

Even though Zenkaiser Black appeared before?

I knew about Zenkaiser but Kaito hasn’t actively joined a battle-battle yet

So 😱😱😱

[twinklequill]

I now desperately need to see Kuro Kaito meet Colorful Kaito ASAP!

With the Zenkaigers traveling across parallel worlds now, there's a strong possibility it could happen story-wise.

I know with Covid-19 still around, productions have been messy, but technically Zenkaiger should be getting a crossover movie with Donbrothers. We'll just have to wait and see.

You know Zenkai Black from Donbrothers, who is a more serious verison of Kaito form Zenkaiger. Well I have a weird headcannon that Zenkai Black is a piece of Kaito and there are a Zenkai Blue, the nerd side of Kaito, a Zenkai Pink, maybe the loving or shy side of Kaito, a Zenkai Yellow, the joyful/adventure side of Kaito, and a Zenkai (Flame/Aka), the hot head side of Kaito.

[ginnyn]

So many boxes!

Some Quickfire Machine Translated Stuff About The Donbrothers Characters According To The Official Site

Disclaimer: While I trust DeepL to generally be slightly more accurate than Google Translate, keep in mind it’s still machine translated, so there may be inaccuracies, please take these with a grain of salt. Here’s the official website for the original text.

Red was “born with the inability to lie” and was quite literally born from a peach. He’s working part time as a courier. He’s 21.

Blue is smart and calcuating, with the site specifically comparing him to Sherlock Holmes. He’s 21.

Yellow is an aspiring manga artist, who won an award for her art, but had to give it up due to “becoming a warrior”, and now lives with her aunt, who’s a detective, and works part time at a coffee shop. She’s 17.

Black is an escaped convict, who seems to be wrongly accused of a crime, and is “cynical, unlikable, distrustful of others, and selfish”. He’s 24.

Pink is a married salary man who lives an ordinary wife, who “has nothing to lose” and is “unable to have a dream of his own, so he’s betting on his wife’s dream”. He’s 33.

Red’s Dad is in a “virtual prison” for an unknown crime, but is able to communicate with people via appearing as an avatar, and they also mention that he’s “somehow never aged” since adopting Red. He “hands out mysterious sunglasses” and seems to be the one who gets the other 4 people on the team.

Kaito Goshikida’s actor is also playing a character in this show, who’s suit is Zenkaiser Black and has the exact same name. He runs the coffee shop Yellow works at, and the site notes that he looks very similar to Zenkaiger!Kaito, but is apparently “a completely different character”.

There’s a blue jacket villain man named Sonyo who has a “calm and elegant demenor”, and appreciates paintings.

There’s a white jacket villain woman named Sononi who is “interested in what love is in the human world”.

There’s a brown jacket villain named Sonoza who is “eerie man who laughs and cries in out-of-place places” and is “interested in the joys and sorrows of human beings”.

That’s pretty much all the info on the site, once again you can check the site yourself for the original text, and please keep in mind this was machine translated, so inaccuracies may be present.

Tropical-Rouge! Precure

So I've pointed this out before, but it's weird how all of Toei's heroes, apart from Revi/Vice, are all concurrently white. We've got Zenkaiser whose second in command is red, Gammamon who's the first main Digimon to not be a primary color, and, the subject of today, Cure Summer. While pink isn't as set in stone as red is for Sentai, white is more often a second-in-command-ish color (White, Egret, Rhythm), though I suppose all 3 of the aforementioned heroes are also very colorful apart from being just white. Zenkaiser and Summer both have stripes of their team's colors, and Gammamon evolves into four different Digimon (red, blue, green, and black). It's an interesting change of pace, and I'm very curious as to why they decided to do this.

The Good: This was a very strong season. Coming off the very mellow Healin' Good Precure, Tropical Rouge is immediately bursting with energy in contrast. Manatsu is very much like Kamen RIder Fourze’s Gentarou; she's a character that undergoes very little development herself, and is instead a positive force of change for the people around her. That being said, she might also be one of the weakest characters on the team, and is a strange instance of the team leader not being the main character. I liked Sango, but she was also kind of weak. She wasn't a bad character, and her individual character episodes were always interesting even if not my favorites, but the other girls each had a backstory and development that was built up throughout the season, while Sango felt mostly like a background character. I found Minori to be very funny, partly because of how much more animated she was when a Precure than she was normally. Her story was built up throughout the season, and the finale was technically her payoff. Asuka was definitely the strongest of the original four, with a very strong overarching plot that popped up very often over the course of the show. My only real issue with her story was that the student council prez was very antagonistic toward the group throughout the show, but had a somewhat abrupt face turn right at the end. Laura, despite starting the show as the team's "fairy" and not being the leader, was the main character. She undergoes the most development of all the characters, usually is directly involved in everyone else's to a greater extent than even Manatsu, and most of the ongoing plot is centered around her. At the beginning, I had the feeling they were going to speed her along to getting her legs, which I thought of as a bit of a cop out, but the way they developed her character made me quickly start rooting for her to get them. I don't think the show would be as good as it was without Laura around.

The overall plot was interesting, too. Every time we got a bit of information about the Procrastination Queen it got me theorizing about what her end goal was, what her connection to Cure Oasis was, and while I think a few of my theories were a little more interesting than what actually happened, it was still cool to see the mystery answered in a very Precure way.

Lastly, the animation this season was phenomenal. Episode 29 is probably the best animated episode in the history of the show. I can't help but feel that they took all the time and manpower they would usually use for their Spring/Summer movie on it. And it's not a one-off instance, as there were periodically some amazing animated moments.

The Bad: I brought this up briefly, but while Laura, Minori, and Asuka were all well developed, Manatsu didn't have any development and Sango had so little she sometimes felt like a side character. Honestly, some of the villains felt more developed than them, which is odd considering they were the first and second members of the team. Don't get me wrong, I really like that they broke the norm and made the fairy character the focus of the season, but I also really enjoyed the interactions between Manatsu and Laura, and it would have been nice if Manatsu was more important to Laura's story.

Just because it bothers me so much, I do want to bring up the Asuka vs Prez thing. This is probably American vs Japanese ideals, but when we learn their backstory during the train episode, Asuka is entirely in the right, IMO. She catches their opponents cheating, does nothing but grabs one of their wrists to stop them and yells, which are pretty understandable reactions, and the Prez gives the cheaters exactly what they want and drop out of the match, something they didn’t have to do at all. Asuka also didn’t want them disqualified or anything, she just wanted to beat them at tennis, which is a very honorable way of going about things. And even if Asuka got understandably upset and left the room, the Prez had over a year to talk to her and try and patch things up and get her to rejoin the team, but instead she acts like a jerk toward her. I like that they end the show on good terms, and being friends with Asuka improves her personality, but I would have liked an apology or admission she put her supposedly best friend in a pretty unfair situation.

And as much as I enjoyed the plot we got, it was very sparsely added to. Basically, every time we went through a full round or two of character focused stories we'd get a small tidbit. I really wish there was a bit more sprinkled in, as at times it felt like I could skip maybe half the series and still get the full story. This form of writing also made it awkward right after Laura learned about the memory erasure, as she was still going on about being queen even though it felt like she was having second thoughts the episode before.

Overall, this was a very good series, my gripes aside. I might have to go rewatch Heartcatch (which may be apropos as this season crosses over with it), but Tropical Rouge may surpass it as my second favorite season of the show on the merits of Laura's character arc alone. It's definitely hard to beat Go! Princess in my books, but during the first half of the show I was wondering if it would. Despite my complaints about Manatsu and Sango, I still like them, and the individual episodes are still strong even if they don't always move a character's or the overarching plot forward.

I'm not super excited about going into another season with a baby. I've aired my conspiracy theories about that already, so I won't go into it here. I'm kind of excited that we're getting a male main character, since we haven't really gotten that since Go! Princess and Happiness Charge. I guess my opinions going in are very neutral, so let's hope it's a good one and my worries will be easily and quickly subverted. Still, I've never watched a season of Precure I thought was bad, it just probably won't be as good as this one.

ZENKAISER BLACK ISN’T EVEN BLACK

IT’S JUST ZENKAISER IN GRAYSCALE

[cina-full-moon-xanadium]

i saw so so many people during zenkaiger who didn’t know much about sentai or were only vaguely in the know about it comment “gay pride ranger!!” on zenkaiser posts including the shf zenkaiser news so i really really have to wonder how they’d react to straight pride ass zenkaiser black.
