Tokusatsu News Thread

[Hoji]

I'll make new posts as updates so that this is easy to figure out when it happens. Just all news on Tokusatsu series that I can find will be put here, since not many of us use Rangerboard or other sites, it would seem.

---

Power Rangers, VR Troopers, Beetleborgs are all on Netflix.

Gokaiger: It would seem that the Go-Onger Grand Power is what Power Rangers calls an "Ultrazord", and a Go-On Gold Key was seen in promotional stuff referencing this, so perhaps Hiroto will appear in the Go-Onger episode.

OOO: The multiple OOO shoot? Gokaiger cross-over? No. It's for the new OOO movie, not a crossover.

Power Rangers: No Samurai until presumably September, as it is on break.

SPD is now airing as a dub in Japan with the original cast back to voice their counterparts.

So, the Go-Onger Grand Power is essentially Gokaiger's version of the Cluster**** Ultrazord?

[Hoji]

Presumably.

Or who knows, maybe just of Gokai Oh, GaoLion/Shishi Origami, Patstriker and MagiDragon. And the Hurricanger form, if they get that first.

[Ziggy]

I'd still call it a clusterf**kzord.

Attaching a lion, dragon, police car, a t-Rex (Silver's Mecha) and maybe a Ninja thingy onto a pirate mecha. That won't come out pretty.

Hey, hey! Don't forget the upgrade that they get in the 199 Heroes movie!

[Hoji]

Variblune? I doubt we'll see it again.

[Ziggy]

It was in episode 17 although that was pretty much to just say "Hey the movie takes place before this episode, you should go spend your money and go see it now."

[Hoji]

I heard about that. Apparently they unlocked 11 powers in the movie.

[Yui and Retsu]

Apparently Goseiger wasn't one, though. And no giant mecha combination.

[Adam Park]

That... saves time.

[Yui and Retsu]

Found the 199 list:

Goranger, JAKQ, Denjiman, Goggle V, Dynaman, Bioman, Turboranger, Dairanger, Boukenger, Go-onger, Goseiger

[Rene Bede]

Gokaiger stuff:

GokaiGalleon Buster

Go-Onger Grand Power; yeah, clusterf*ck, more or less.

[Venjix]

I was wondering when they would have a team weapon...

[Ziggy]

Anyone else think the Buster is going to be based on Basco's Ranger Trumpet in show?

Here's some info from the Gokaiger's second movie, The Flying Ghost Ship. Quoted from DecaEnd of the HJU forums.

"As expected from you greedy pirates, you'd even throw away your comrades for a treasure."

There's a rumor that there's ghost ship heading towards Earth and it's picking up the souls of dead people. It's said that there's a treasure called "God Eye" inside. The Gokaigers decides to search for it. They believe that if they can get God Eye, they'll be able to find the greatest treasure in the universe.
It's also said that no one comes out alive from the ghost ship.

Los Dark is the captain of the ghost ship, he has no real body and is planning on using the God Eye.
The insides of the ghost ship is true mystery. The Gokaigers will have to fight the enemies of the past Rangers.
The hatred inside the various grunts causes them to merge into one monster.

Dekaranger's enemy, Agent Abrella, appears and states that they've picked up 1500 souls of defeated monsters.
Baseball Mask from Goranger, says that he has reborn into a different Baseball Mask and challenges the Gokaigers to a baseball match. The Gokaigers Gokai Change into the Gorangers.

Even the G3 Princess (?) unit appears.

I didn't put the question mark in there. It was in the magazine, might indicate that it's not really them. But it's the actors though.
