Dissing people is really takeru's way of showing mercy. He doesn't want anyone taking on the samurai life because he knows what it costs on such a level that he was trained to be perfect but yet destined to fail. Discouraging people from becoming samurai is just a way for him to set them free without seeming like he's favoring others. Which is why his reveal at the end was such a big deal imo. It reframes his actions from a jerk perfectionist to someone who knows he's supposed to fail and knowing those that follow him are destined for equal ruin. If anything he would gladly have fought on his own because he can't live with that guilt.
And what makes this even more sad, is that after he fulfilled his purpose, he was tossed aside and his only way of living was taken away from him. Knowing nothing other then fighting. Juuzo, the fighting maniac, was there to show what Takeru would’ve been.
@@RandomPerson-cm2wgThe saddest part is none of them actually had a choice even the princess felt bad about showing up because of how it effected everyone
It's just his way of saying "It's difficult. You can't do this. Go while you can"
Shinkenger works better because Samurai feels like a bunch of weebs trying to be Japanese. I mean they didn't even get the Kanji strokes right when they morph. Nitpicking aside, they screwed up the kagemusha aspect.
hunterkiller1440
Nah it's just better acted and well better written in character and character developments
Wouldn't exactly say better acted.
@Amazing Spiderman Fan 2002 Body double *raised* specificaly to... pratically suffer a asasination in place of the feudal lord
@Amazing Spiderman Fan 2002 What are you trying to say? It wasn't for mystery(within the story at least), it was just to make the monsters get the wrong person
@Amazing Spiderman Fan 2002 To which I respond to say no so much, they just made everyone think that the head was Takeru
Shinkenger: The Better Version of Samurai?
Yes. Just yes.
Calling it better than Samurai is underselling it. Shinkenger is right at the top among the best of the best sentai seasons. While Samurai is at the bottom of the bottom barrel.
@@sjneow No kidding they even got the top spot of the top 10 sentai series in Japan popularity vote.
Is that even a question?
Samurai really could have been better than what it was. If it wasn't for Jonathan tzachor should have brought Judd Lynn back.
Haha, I do think Samurai is a worse Shinkenger, but I wanted to keep the question an open one so that nobody rushes to the conclusions they already had without thinking through the how's and the why's :)
I feel like your review really misses a lot of the point of a good number of tropes and cultural pieces of Japan. Genta being so silly and loud is meant to contrast the severity and rule bound status of a samurai. His status as a sushi seller is so much lower than a samurai, and his total lack of conformation to the culture matters a great deal more in Japan than it does in America. So him being thrown out has much more to do with classism and social status than in the case of Shinken Brown, who was a foreigner and therefore the edicts of hospitality apply where they don't to Genta, as someone who is natively Japanese. For a sushi maker to become a samurai is a much more impressive story arc than you give it credit for. (Edited as I mixed him up with Antonio for profession.)
Likewise, Ryuunosuke's goofy and loud obsession with being loyal reflects his kabuki background. He's an actor who has been forced to become a samurai, both very important and traditional roles, but one that is being an actor. So even if they're a bit grating to a western ear, it's important to remember that they're from a culture that has had, and still somewhat has, a very harsh view of social status, roles, and societal rules.
Also, adoption in Japan doesn't mean the same thing as it does in the West. Adoption into a family is more like making someone your heir than anything else. It's not saying she raised him, or anything like that. It's a legal way to make that person the family legacy. Oftentimes in Japan queer people will adopt their lovers into their family because marriage isn't an option. Legally being viewed as family, even if it's not the correct way, is seen as a practical option that should be open for a multitude of reasons. Primary among them though is allowing childless families who run companies or other businesses to be able to easily keep their business running after they're gone by handing it off to a trusted apprentice who they accept into their family. More or less anyway.
As for Mako, she's definitely amazing, but just wait till you get to Ahim.
that makes a lot of sense now
Yeah, I definitely agree that he misses a lot of the cultural context that Shinkenger uses throughout the show. I thought that the emphasis on Japanese culture made the series and even the characters he's not to found of stand out to me. It's the superposition of antiquated samurai ideals and customs placed into the 21st century that makes the show so interesting to me
Finally a smart comment. A true person of culture you are. You should've written this guy's script imho 😆
He's one of most people who haven't watched a Kurosawa Samurai movie.
Interesting insight.
As for Mako or Ahim, I still like Mako more but I found Ahim very interesting in her season since she's the most unlikely to be a pirate...which made me excited about her backstory (which was frustratingly quite late in the season).
I honestly think the whole struggle to accept Genta had more to do with his actual situation rather than the legitimacy of his samurai status. With Mr. Brown, he was never considered a real Shinkenger, rather just a fan and samurai enthusiast. Ryunosuke originally didn't want anything to do with Brown and tried to drive him away with overly intense training, but over time realized that Mr. Brown actually had the right attitude and respect for samurai and decided to train him seriously. With Genta, the presence of a ShinkenGold who uses electronic Mojikara and can create his own origami was probably a shock to Ryunosuke's traditionalist system, but more importantly, Genta's overly bombastic disposition and constantly proclaiming himself a samurai likely gave Ryunosuke the impression that he simply didn't respect samurai enough to actually be one. ShinkenBrown was never taken seriously and no one (other than Mr. Brown I suppose) ever even considered him to be a real Shinkenger. But ShinkenGold was as real as it got. Combine that with the respect factor, and you get Ryunosuke struggling to accept Genta until the latter actually proves that he is serious and does in fact have what it takes to be a real samurai despite his personality.
Shinkenger is by far my favorite Super Sentai series. The show's main writer, Yasuko Kobayashi, is over criticized for her use of cliche character tropes and stereotypes, but Shinkeger shows why those tropes are so popular since it presents us with some of the best use of them while at the same time subverting some of the stereotypes in the latter half, specifically when it came to Takeru's and Juuzo's characters.
It's the only samurai in spandex that works. The other is just weebs play pretend. They took away the things important and makes Shinkenger works.
True story.
@triforian king nothing
To be honest, Samurai left me with such a bad taste in my mouth, I had to watch Shinkenger, which then got me into Super Sentai.
Unlike Samurai, which didn't focus a lot on characters other than Jayden of Nazareth, Shinkenger had a depth to their characters, and it's amazing how all four of the retainers developed throughout the season. The focus episodes would really hook you up to a character, forming a bond between the character and the audience. And, apart from fighting monsters, which was basically Samurai overall, Shinkenger was really inspiring.
The prime reason why Shinkenger, and also Gokaiger, was much better than their counterparts, was because of the characters. The depth of the characters was what carried both the seasons, unlike Samurai and (Super) Megaforce, which was basically 90% acting and 10% cheesy dialogues with stony expressions. Miss those times when Power Rangers had depth to their characters.
Was Beasts Morphers a decent show in your opinion? And which seasons do you consider the best in PR?
MAN, Shinkenger is amazing; I still to this day consider it the best Sentai Series to date. I still get goosebumps seeing the scene where Takeru is kicked out of the Shiba House because of Kaoru's return, and he runs into Juzo; Juzo simply says (paraphrasing), "We both belong nowhere. Wanna fight?" And Takeru simply has a somber smile & faces him. This scene had SOOOOOOO MANY LAYERS TO IT that I absolutely loved....Takeru Shiba is HANDS DOWN, the BEST developed Red Ranger in all Sentai.
To be honest, I think Dekaranger is the best Super Sentai in MY opinion. Shinkenger is close though..
@@vnthang7331 Dekaranger would be great....if it actually had a plot....It's OK though.
@@TheGloryXros
Yeah, Dekaranger plot is odd but it still fun and enjoyable. The reason that I like Dekaranger is the characters, the music and the bias I have for Dekaranger. It was my childhood after.
Can you check my English? I'm Vietnamese so sometime I a little bit worried about my English typing skills. Thank you.
@@vnthang7331 A bit lacking in some places, but overall pretty OK.
Dekaranger is really, REALLY good. It's simply a different kind of show from Shinkenger, and in fact from most Sentai in general. An entirely direct comparison would be unfair, it ultimately comes down to taste in my opinion.
Shinkenger is definitely one of Top Five SS series. Looking forward to part 2.
It's for sure in my top 5, although I haven't completed 5 at this point, LOL. Mako though? She might never leave the number 1 spot for Sentai Pinks.
Yep definitely
@@TheDisneyBrain can you imagine if Mia had Mako's development and story? She'd knock off rose and likely be top 5 if not top 3.
Or Mike having Chiakis. Seriously like you said Chiaki was rarely unlikable and Mike is probably one the worst rangers in the series. What went wrong?
Really would be interested in top heart of the team rangers or least liked rangers. I wonder whod be no.1?
The best.
U brought up an interesting point, it seems some of the worst adapted PR seems to be some of the best SS for example Carranger, turbo nearly cancel PR but is the one that saved ss from cancellation
Shinkenger was my very first SS series.... And It really made me fall in love with the series
Same, and also where I learn about Kamen Rider thanks to the crossover episodes.
Learning about Ryunosuke's obsessive devotion to Takeru puts the way they translated his character into Kevin in a more WTF light, as it basically becomes a black man who believes his life's duty is to serve a white guy without question.
I feel like Samurai would have been better if Kevin and Mike's characters were swapped because Mike very clearly needed a role model
@Jay Morales terrible historical events like slavery and shit still happened in these fictional universes
Agreed. Using the Supernatural elements of the story to deny the excessive racism and bits of sexism that has always in part defined the Neo-Saban era (See Roboknight learning rap verses from a black kid.) is unwise. It exists despite that.
@@TheDisneyBrain Yeah. And it crept in a lot. Let's not forget how interracial couples were denied on-screen kisses in Dino Charge and Ninja Steel.
Ow Burn
IWAE!
THE BIRTH OF THE NEW KING!
THE DISNEY BRAIN SHINKENGER ARMOR!
THE POWER OF THE SAMURAI ARE NOW OF HIS!
LMAO, that's perfect!
Get out of here woz
Have listen to #shinkenger opening theme my god its awesome
It might just be among my favorite Sentai themes. I didn't skip it once during my watch through!
Genta is the comic relief, and the best friend of taker u. Yeah he needs more evolution of his character. But one factor why this sentai was so well loved was the cast as a whole. Everyone grew and the theme of this sentai which is trusting one another not because they have to but their own decision, matches the chemistry they have here. I just love them and I will not be tired of watching this sentai.
How to make a good show?
Japan : Have an original plot, comparable to that of a shounen anime with millions of viewers, essentially creating the best live action anime there is.
American (Saban): jUsT aDd BlAcK gUy.....
I feel like Shinkenger works so much better than Samurai because of the context that Shinkenger is japanese. The story and central themes are japanese history and culture, so that works on a fundamental with the japanese kids inheriting their samurai birthright, even if they didn’t initially want that lifestyle. Ryuunosuke’s campy personality comes from his Kabuki background, Genta is seen as “lower” by the rest of the team because he’s a lowly sushi chef and not a noble warrior class. It simply doesn’t translate well to an american context. PR Samurai is a bunch of american kids who are just samurai for no reason. Kevin is just a dedicated swimmer and is milquetoast compared to the giant-personality Ryuunosuke. Antonio seems no more qualified to be a samurai than the rest of the samurai rangers. It just doesn’t work the same way that Shinkenger works
FINALLY! You reviewed Shikenger.
Yeeeeeah boi!
omg you need to do more super sentai reviews, and obviously some kamen riders
*THE EMBODYMENT OF SEX APPEAL HIMSELF*
TSUKASA IS A GREEK GOD
Shinkenger is in my top 5 sentai and I've watch a ton
I definitely had fun watching it, even during the more dour moments with things felt maybe a hair too serious, tonally.
Do you pay attention to the opening or ending themes or do you not care about them? I really like shinkengers opening and the ending theme is very amusing
Then which one was your favourite?
Ryunoske's idolising of Takeru makes more sense because he is their samurai lord and they are supposed to be his disciples
I think the point is, you were ruined by Samurai to not be able to dismiss Ryunosuke and Genta's antics, because they tried and failed to emulate that in PR. Mainly because no on in the west acts like that, at all. Even when they're being overly dramatic.
I appreciate how Ryunosuke and Chiaki are complete opposites in the team. Ryunosuke was raised to serve his lord without question, while Chiaki was given much more freedom during his training. They really show you the two sides of the spectrum in a system of retainers and lords, at least in their team. It’s interesting how their character arcs are completely opposites of each other. Ryunosuke starts off loyal and has to loosen up, while Chiaki is too free and has to become more serious. I feel as if they are quite essential characters in a show that includes this lord system. Plus, they help make the show fun! (Of course, they’re not the only ones who make it fun.)
do Decade, W, OOO, Fourze, Jetman and Liveman
I'd like to second the Liveman recommendation. As a much older Sentai, it feels a bit overlooked, but it was a fun ride.
Jetman was awesome. Memorable characters, and one of the most unique story and unique sentai ever. I miss watching it
I've heard good things about all of those shows! I'll try to check them all out in time.
The Disney Brain I recommend kiva too it has some issues but it is enjoyable and has a cool way of telling it’s story
Looking foward to hearing about Kaoru, the thing with Lauren seemed interesting but It sounded like it didn't work well so I wonder how the original compares
The "true hidden lord" plot definitely worked better in Shinkenger, as it's a classic "kagemusha" plot common in feudal era Japanese fiction. The eventual reveal showed Takeru to be a big fat liar, pumping up the tension and conflict that much better (aside from putting into context his aloof and 'dickish' personality early on).
And you highlight what is the largest problem in the Neo Saban era: the Rangers are far too often just manikins filling out the suits, not real people. Even back to MMPR where there was no plotted character arcs, they still wrote the rangers as people first, even if their growth was more spotty due to not having an end point for the characters.
YOU WILL FACE THE TRUE MIGHT OF MY CHAN-BARA-BARA
YES
Oh the goosebumps, once you start you cannot stop
Welcome to Toku Brain ❤️
:D
If you want another Sentai and Ranger season that basically exact copies of each (both are actually good in their own rights) look no further than Mirai Sentai Timeranger
Gaoranger Is another copy series as well
Good Note For Note Adaptation: Time Force
Average Note For Note Adaptation: Wild Force
Bad Note For Note Adaptation: Samurai
@@augustusfreeman4032
Wild Force is more of a Better Not For Note Adaptation. They have two team ups unlike Gaoranger. And they have MAIN VILLAIN, which Gaoranger lacked.
@@TheSHIELDCap I don’t necessarily think that having a “MAIN” villain makes WF better
Look at Dekaranger

The Disney Brain: questions how 14 year old can adopt anyone.
Me who watches anime: First time?
Thank you for discussing the strengths and flaws. It's not perfect, but pretty close.
I tried creating lyrics for the Shinkenger theme that were singable in English.
"Cries of battle fill the air,
As legends foretold, they appear,
Samurai Sentai Shinkenger,
We're honoured! (Could also be "chan bara!")
As time marches on,
The tale ignites anew,
Calling ancient spirits passed,
To stir in this modern world.
Serious as the blade,
Mock them if you dare,
Underestimate them then,
Be cut down by their hand.
With thunderous applause, they step up to the stage,
In the name of Providence, they cry "imperial report",
Spurred on by a blossom storm,*
Go go, samurai, you get it on,*
Guide the people of this land, catching all their tears,
Slash and clash, your might set free,
Close the act with "victory!",
An explosion of the written word through calligraphy,
Let's bushido,
Slash through 'em all,
Samurai Sentai Shinkenger,
We're honoured."
*These lines were inspired by the recent English version done by Psychic Lover. The original lines I had for this part were:
"Petals rain down from the sky,
Off you go, young Samurai."
This is awesome! Great job!
@@TheDisneyBrain Thank you. Have you heard Psychic Lover's English cover of their Shinkenger theme?
ruclips.net/video/M_u8z67YXpw/видео.html
I already thought Shinkenger was an awesome show, but this show helps me to appreciate it that much more.
Glad to hear it! :)

@@TheDisneyBrain YAYYYYY!! A great day for build fans! Yo can we get a shout out! Me and shelby.
Shinkenger is my second favorite Sentai.
What’s your first?
@@pn2294 Gokaiger.
God I wish I could legally watch this already. Also that Shinkenger being imported my Shout Factory leads to Legal Kamen Rider DVDs.
Man, am I the only one who really enjoy watching Zi-O and think is a good Kamen Rider (and anniversary) show?
Despite of its glaring flaws, Zi-O had something that Decade lacked: a STORY to follow.
Hard to comment on it's status as a celebratory season without watching more of what it's celebrating, but yeah, I'm enjoying the ride so far!
I just wish it was more story focused and not episodic, and one of the reasons for why people don’t like it is the same writers from Ninninger are working on that show
The Neo-Saban Era looks more good on Nick Jr. than regular Nickelodeon and Nicktoons.
LOLOL, rekt
Now I wanna watch this! First you made me wanna re-watch Dino Thunder and Samurai, and now this! Thank you
Haha, you're very welcome! :)
This was the First Sentai I watched when I thought they cancelled Power Rangers for good after RPM and I was so surprised how good it was so to say how disappointed I was in Samurai is a understatement
That's the same story with me
Seems to be a lot of people's takes, lol. Although I have heard that there's a sembalance of Japanese folk that actually prefer Samurai to the Sentai. Fascinating bit of cross cultural perspective in that.
@@TheDisneyBrain Shinkenger is the most liked sentai in Japan so it's probably a small minority though most Japanese people did like Lost Galaxy over Gingaman
About Kotoha, what you said was so true. It tears me up as I was listening to you. That is why everyone ships takeru and kotoha so much.
Im so glad you finally did a review on this shinkenger was my first sentai and it didnt disappoint
My 1st sentai was lupat, i cant say the same (the cops were awesome trough).
I loved genta! During the first 25 eps, I was just waiting for him to show up and I was not disappointed!!!
That was probably the greatest description of Tsukasa ever.
The actor who played genta played a villain in a recent season of kamen rider and I swear he was born for that role
I prefer Time Force did a little better job adapting Timeranger and I like both Time Force and Timeranger for Different reasons. But the Samurai storyline just doesnt fit Power Rangers. I would watch Shrinkenger instead!
Good Note For Note Adaptation: Time Force
Average Note For Note Adaptation: Wild Force
Bad Note For Note Adaptation: Samurai
Like how they make Time Force more interesting and make the characters more likable compared to Timeranger? You get your answer.
I actually watched the first ep of Timeranger recently. Didn't hook me as much as Time Force did, but it seemed pretty solid.
@@TheDisneyBrain Timeranger does get better in later episodes!!!
@@andrewthomas8888
Um, just kind of. The only good thing about the later episodes is the psychopathy of Gien. Also, Eric is the better character compared to Naoto.
Yes!! You started Jetman!! That’s like the third best Sentai series along with Dairanger, Gokaiger, and Kakuranger
I finished watching it yesterday and loved it!
Jonathan Tzachor's freaking head of story was a translator. After that, things make so much more sense.
Yep, lol
@@TheDisneyBrain A shame since James T. Bates did some good work when adapting Digimon Fusion into English. The problem was creative freedom in terms of understanding what they're working with here.
I think your closing statements really hammer in what Shinkenger & Samurai are: character-driven stories, not plot-driven stories. Shinkenger excelled at hiding it's lack of plot by having strong characters people could feel for while Samurai couldn't mask the subpar plot cause so many of its characters weren't allowed depth.
Shinkenger was amazing imo
First ever sentai I watched and i watched it while it was happening i think around 2009 to 2010 when i wasn't able to watch power rangers. I had a pretty timely introduction to sentai i guess as i was only 10 but after all these years, it has still stuck.
3:34 i watched about half of the sentai series and that was my favorite episode and i couldn't believe they didn't adapt it using bulk.
Samurai is Shinkenger without the heart
You should tell us your thoughts on the opening and ending theme songs in Part II or a Part III
The OP is fantastic!
Awesomesauce! I would love to see Dairanger covered. I love that sentai to pieces!
So I just stared watching Kamen Rider with Zi-O being my first and I would love for you to make a review about that. As usual.. I appreciate your work. Keep up the good job 👍
Thanks, man! I might hold off on reviewing it until I have a better understanding of everything it's celebrating. Then I'd be able to do something a bit more comprehensive :)
The Disney Brain Understandable! Keep up the good work again!!
about 5 years ago now i was on a major power rangers binge and looked up timeranger (like DB, my fav PR is time force). i quickly absorbed timeranger, jetman, gobusters, toqger and then started watching kyuuranger while it aired. i was jonsing for more when i had caught up with kyuuranger and decided to see what the sister show was all about. KAMEN RIDER is now my total obsession. gaim, W, ex-aid, build, kiva, ryuga and amazons all make sentai and power rangers look like cheesey costumed kids shows. it's great to see a personal power rangers celebrity go though this.
While I love Kamen Rider, I've come to prefer Sentai to Kamen Rider when it comes to certain aspects. Whether old or new, Sentai always feels much more earnest in presentation, story, and characterization. That, and Sentai have better fight choreography 80% of the time.
In one of the episodes you can see that Kevin has a folded over morpher as he draws
I haven't finished watching Shinkenger, but it shows that PR Samurai is almost a carbon-copy of it.
Plus a google translate version of it which makes it worse. Bringing and talking about Japanese culture to America, Saban fucked that up.
It's ironic the changed Sentai that could work just fine in western setting, like Megaranger or Go-Onger, but not the one that has its core relies heavily on Japanese culture and value, like Shinkenger
I like your evaluation without just being the same tired East vs West or Sentai vs Ranger. I like honest evaluation that show strengths and weaknesses.
awesome your enjoying toku :) cant wait to see more :)
My biggest problem with Power Rangers Samurai besides flat characters, was the fact that the localization team didn't know how to adapt Shinkinger. I honestly don't mind if it was a one for one adaptation. The only problem with that is that is what made Samurai unbelievable. For example, let's look at a Power Rangers season that knew how to adapt Eastern Culture: Power Rangers Ninja Storm. I never once watched Ninja Storm and questioned how were they ninjas in a Western setting. Unlike Samurai, where I questioned it constantly. And that is because it was a literal one for one adaptation, which didn't attempt to make Eastern Culture digestible. At no point did they attempt to explain how did samurais show up in the West, well. It was the show just demanded that the audience believed in it. It felt like a mockery to Eastern Culture.
That's what happens when your script writers are translators. This issue actually came up in the writers room. Bhaumik, the writer of Forever Red, pitched a different version of Samurai and was shot down. James W. Bates, the writer behind Vrak, basically told Tzachor that the writers were just sick of translating stories. Bates even recalls how he had to fight for more settings other than the Shiba House since that's where Tzachor wanted all the scenes to be.
victor hoang Sad, ain’t it. Like Nostalgia Critic said, if you want to do changes, make sure the changes make sense.
At least Amit Bhaumik’s plan for Samurai made more sense.
nice to see a comparison like that
I see what you did
That woz pun was nice
I do love my puns, lol
Gokaiger is better Super Megaforce. I grew up with Jungle Fury and Gekiranger and also Kamen Rider Kiva.
A lot of people around here didn't like Kiva, but I loved it and the chars made sense given their situations.
Anyone seen the episode from shinkenger involving the monster Kugutsukai? They never adapted him becauw he had what looked lik a foster human torso on his middle. Also, he had a rather disturbing design.
The adoption thing is because sexual intercorse consent age is same as adopting age, and as persona 5 pointed out at the time it was 13 messed up as that is
Since Beast Morphers is gone for AWHILE, will you do like a "reaction/thought" video of the first chunk of the season? Apparently, they have wrapped up filming. I'm wondering if this means there won't be a "Super Season" and Beast Morphers is the only one. Hopefully, that is the case because the "Super Seasons" really don't do it for me...
You have to watch Kamen Rider Kabuto, W and Ex Aid
@Sterling Rutledge oh yeah, and Faiz. Kuuga as well.
@Sterling Rutledge the one in Decade.... Y'all hear summ?
@Sterling Rutledge gaim is a must
Hmmm, sounds like I'm watching Kamen Rider Everything, haha. Except Ghost, I suppose. Nobody ever recommends Ghost.
@@TheDisneyBrain nobody reccomends it for a reason. But give it a shot if ya want.
Kotoha for me is the PEACEMAKER of the group.
Kotoha is best girl. I started watching Shinkenger because of Kotoha and I thought to myself, "That is the cutest Super Sentai ever!"
Shinkenger and all sentai before it= NOSTALGIA
I just realized that Chiaki has a Minnesota North Star jacket...lol what a weird detail!
al admit both shinkenger and samurai are defently both my favorite it maybe the same but i got a kick ton of greatness for both of these 2 shows.
4:55
Gaim:
Finally,A WORTHY OPPONENT
The real question is: where can you watch this? I can only find clips of it on RUclips, but not the entire series (or any other sentai as a matter of fact). So, what websites can I find this on?
You should take a look at Metal Heroes. Specifically things like Space Sheriff as an entry point since they’ve crossed over with Super Sentai recently. (Space Squad)
They’re a lot of fun.
Where were you able to watch all shinkenger episodes?
Finally some mentions this part shinkenger that really doesn't even makes sense
0:54 i can answer that right away: THIS WAS THE PERFECT TIME FOR AN ASIAN RED RANGER!!! if there was ever a team for it, this was the one.
It's blasphemy you don't see our international boyfriend Shinnosuke as the embodiment of sex
Anyway it's amazing that you enjoy several tokusatsu shows, keep at it my dude
I don't get it.
LOL
@@harlannguyen4048 kamen rider drive reference
The músic in this series is really good, and it make some of scene better, like the fighting scene and the emocional scene
I heard jungle fury is very close to it sentía counterpart
I firmly believe that if Samurai had adapted the Shinken brown thing, it should've been Bulk being Shinken brown
0:18 damn you decade
ONORE DIKEDO!!!
Well... yeah, it is the better version... that's pretty much fact. A lot of the concepts, ideas, and stories make way more sense when you understand the cultural significance behind them, which was thrown out in Samurai
Honestly, Samurai had no business adapting Shinkenger the way it did; a lot of the contexts and meanings, as well as a lot of the story's depth, was lost in the process to Americanize it, making it more confusing and awkward. It should have just been a new story with new stuff in it, dropping the Shinkenger stuff... maybe doing that original version, with the international Samurai team, would have been much better
I agree, I wish I had seen that version. The story of Mark and Keiji could have been one of the most interesting. I even believe that the Red Ranger could in fact have had an Asian appearance that would make a lot of sense in this context.
Hi there. I was wondering if I could know what you use to watch the Sentai series? I been meaning to get into it but don't know what sites are good to use
If you search for any given Sentai on google, there's a couple options!
I hope you eventually watch and review my favorite Super Sentai shows, Gokaiger and Akibaranger
Gokaiger aka: what zi-o and megaforce tryed to be for their respectives frachises and fail, or wath the wirter of kairi tryed to copy and fail because the new badly desined toy are more impotant than a consise caracther.
And akibaranger the meta season.
I hope for the same, haha
Lol and yeah, I'm also so deep into Tokusatsu at this point that I keep unintentionally referencing specific memes and lines in conversations with my friends, especially "damn you Decade" when we talk about something bad thats happened. Also I'm a Christian so I don't like to swear in public, but now when I do swear in public I do it in Japanese 80% of the time so no one knows exactly what I said 😂. Tokusatsu is a strange world but it's a fun adventure nonetheless.
Would love to see a Go-Onger or Goseiger review
May I suggest that you do a review of Ninninger next? I am watching right now, and am enjoying it so far.
The Disney Brain, how do you watch the sentai seasons? I've been wanting to watch for years.
oh on god are we getting kamen rider on this channel lets get it
Haha, maaaaybe :)
Mister Disney Brain, for starters I want to let you know that your analysis of power rangers has been very informative to me as a fan. That being said, if you were to accept a request, can you analyze into more depth, your take on the cycle of hatred as told in Power Rangers time force? If its too much to ask I'll understand, I just want to know you outlook and opinion on it.
I watch an episode on Shinkenger and already it was so much better than Samurai. I watch Samurai as a kid and I like it but Shinkenger and I as got older, it was so much better, has that bonding going (Samurai was just a carbon copy) and it was more memorable already.
Top 10 heart of the team rangers would be a very interesting one.
Finally a great channel that has great Sentai content
Thanks, man! Means a lot :)
I Would Recommend Dekaranger And Shinkenger As Some Of Your First Seasons Of Super Sentai
Will you review the Power Ranger Comic from Boom Studio, I find it incredible and everything that I've ever wanted from Power Rangers.
I like how they try stay consitent to te more popular seasons for exemple SPD is uber broken when they got into action on sharted grid.
I maaaaybe might do that? Not sure, but I do love what BOOM Studios has done with the comics.
I feel like samurai should have been watched afterwards. The source material should be watched first before the adaptation. Dont even get me started on goseiger and gokaiger vs megaforce. Also with rpm vs go-onger. The reason why the zords have eyes in rpm is because in go-onger they talked.
Also about genta. He is there to lighten up the show. That way their can be serious movements in an episode. These shows have to reach wide audiences. For the new kids starting off and the adults returning.
