I would love to know your thoughts on Bima Satria Garuda, it’s basically an Indonesian Kamen Rider show and after watching the bit with the power rangers, it seems oddly fitting:
Here are more translations for some of the Indonesian. 6:30 / 6:34 The Way Big counterfeit, "Ball Man", is nicknamed by one of the characters as "Bekel Ball Man" based on an old children's game. 6:34 / 6:47 The Heatblast looking one on the left, "Torch Man", is nicknamed by one of the characters as "Stove Boy". 13:14 The sign says "Room of Lord Zed. Widows(?) not allowed." The word I translated as widow, "Janda", could also mean divorcees or just women who already had boyfriends before. Maybe "used goods" would be better depending on how rude he is, but I don't really want to see the episode. By the way, the counterpart for men would be "Duda".
@@Grag235 Ok I get what you mean now. Iran made the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Vilgax might have been on to something with that Chronosapien time bomb I want Irans Ben to be erased from existence.
Ben 7 is basically someone trying to make an adaptation of Kamen Rider Decade with the only knowlege being a sentence that's just "Japanese Ben 10 but Power Rangers"
I wasnt sure if it was closer to Den-O or something but, yeah with the low budget, the timeline (Like 3 months after the Decade premier), probably Decade...
@@TacomasterStudios but 7 and 10 do rhyme (tujuh, sepuluh) and since some people call the show Ben Sepuluh maybe they thought "hmm what number rhymes with sepuluh? Yep, we're gonna go with Ben Tujuh"
As an Indonesian I am deeply shocked Bolt would EVER fucking analyze Ben 7, or here in Indonesia, you pronounce in, Ben Tujuh.

Manusia Obor = Human Torch Yes, like Fantastic Four Edit: P.S. While 'Manusia''s direct translation means 'Human', in the context of the show it means 'Man' as a suffix, like 'Spider-Man' or 'Superman'. That's why we are later presented with 'Iron Man', because the show leans toward superhero instead of alien.
As an Indonesian myself, that lives with my grandma who watches Indonesian soap opera 24/7, i can assure you that Indonesian soap opera are absurd lots of the time
12:43 it is a crossover episode with another obscure Indonesian soap opera called "Super Ranger" (basically a power rangers rip off), and I remember the show was short live and aired it 2009 (it was 20-30 episode if I remember correctly)
As an Indonesian, this is a certified hood classic. U should watch "Super hero kocak" another live action Indonesian Ripoff of Avenger + Justice League.
Also FYW, "Obor" when translated from Indonesian to English means "Torch" So closer translation of Manusia Obor isn't Obor Man, but Torch Man. AKA, The Human Torch.
Ben 7 is like if Ben 10 was a Tokusatsu show. Not Tokusatsu like you’re thinking of. A Tokusatsu like Redman, oldschool Ultra Fight, or one of those Hanuman movies
The best youtuber crossover finally returns once again. But overall I'm glad this video was more of a some what postive look at it instead of the usual kinds of videos, where someone would just tear this apart and make fun of it out of spite. Because even was curious about this show when I found out about it some time ago.
So the translation of the "aliens" names from their intros are: Manusia Obor, kekuatan menyemburkan api naga - Torch Man, ability to spit dragon fire Manusia Burung, sayap sakti - Bird Man, mighty wings Manusia Lele, sengatan patil listrik - Catfish Man, electric sting Manusia Es, kekuatan membekukan musuh - Ice Man, ability to freeze enemies Manusia Batu, getaran batu bagai gempa - Rock Man, earthquakes Manusia Bola (the Way Big guy i shit you not is actually Cannonbolt), bergelinding bagai bola - Ball Man, rolls as ball
As to why there are Iron Man, Hulk, etc. rip offs, it's been a custom here in Indonesia to just blatantly include popular characters for no reason other than to attract audience/exposure. Also yes these kinds of series/soap operas in Indonesia are very professionally made from big studios, the only thing explaining the cheap CGI is that they had very tight deadlines as you guys mentioned, or here we say it "Kejar Tayang" which roughly translates to "Chasing Release".
the belt seems like a heavily modified Vital Charger from Kamen Rider Black, you can see the left side's lights behind the clearly added-in sun deco. on that note: An arrogant guy find a belt that lets him change into multiple other forms from different beings/people. Is this Ben 7 or Kamen Rider Decade? Edit: THEY RIPPED OFF THE SHINKENGER CROSSOVER?
What’s crazy is that this has 33 more episodes than the original Ben 10 which had 52. Keep that in mind. Then again Ben 7 took 5 months and Ben 10 took 3 1/2 years.
13:10 I love how the showrunners just stopped caring and flat out stole the name of the actual Power Rangers villain, took away one d in Zedd, and then just posted that on what looks like the door of a janitor's closet!
god daymn my country,i used to have a ben 10 backpack when i was a kid and then my friends said "is that ben 7 backpack?" I responded "no,its ben 10",they were very stubborn,man i wish they knew
As an indonesian, i've been equipped with the power of translating what the "alien" names are. The "aliens" include: Torchman (the heatblast guy) Rockman (the thing lookin ahh) Ice man (the grey dude) Ball man (discount waybig) Catfish man (the sharkboy thingy) Bird man (the hawk) And yes, im not kidding that is their real name. Btw having a love interest is stable for every single soap opera no matter the genre.
This show feels like what a little kid plays in his bedroom when his parents hasn't bought him all the alien toys yet so he has to made some of them out with the toys he already has 🤣
Ben 7 basically is the "with your powers combined, I am ..." meme lmao. I already enjoyed the discussion regarding rip-offs/bootleg on this channel, but when it's regarding Ben 10, that's just the ultimate combo!
I know a friend from Indonesia and he told me that when this series got released, the amount of merchandise and toys are sky rocketing in Indonesia around that time and whenever you walk down the street, you'll always gonna find some kids wearing the Ben 7 (Ben Tujuh) shirt or backpack even until now.
Ngl, i kinda liked this show when i was a kid, crappy customes and effects aside, the og ben 10 hasn't been updated enough that it's just full of reruns and alien force hasn't come out yet (Indonesia's CN is usually kinda late, that's why i can still remember 90's CN bumper at the mid 2000's) , so i found this show and was thinking this was bad but has some charm in it knowing it's kinda like ben 10
Ahh.... 2008-2010 The times when Almost every tv station in Indonesia tries to rip off as many popular characters as they can... Weird times.. But good times nonetheless IIRC, the power rangers ripoff actually comes from a show that airs alongside Ben 7 the shows called "super rangers" (if you somehow decided to look into it, they might not look the same as the one you saw on the crossover episode, this is because they got several "upgrades" midseason, changing their appearance) and both of them were aired on what considered at that time as "Indonesian prime time" (19:00 - 21:00)
@@brandonmumek1282 and dont forget about Ggs aka twilight rip off or many of the bizzare indosiar ftv. I remember if one of the ftv have story that oddly resemble Barbie, ghost rider and one of the cgi monsters are taken from The Waterhorse, a movie with loch ness monster
Ok somebody gonna have to do a cut of the opening to super alien hero buddy’s where Ben Prime says “somebody’s gonna pay for this big time!” When he watch’s Ben 7.
My ben 7 headcanon is the belt, unlike the omnitrix, can turn into anything pretty much. So those 7 spirits at the start were sealed away, then hopped into the belt. So he can turn into straight up Iron Man and stuffs
Heatblast and XLR8? Please, those are clearly Reverse Flash and Spawn, and the White Spirit is clearly Ghost Shaggy. Shaggy became what he swore to destroy.
Im Indonesian, i watch the original Ben 10 and this ripoff [its aired arround the same time with this ripoff], i cringed asf but also enjoying this when i was a kid, my cousin meet with the ben actor and watching him shooting in the park. this show called Ben Tujuh in indonesian language
This was a really great video, though I couldn't help but get distracted by your Transformers collection just sitting in the corner and how absolutely excruciating it must have been to set all that up.
This is just Kamen rider The belt and the poses, even Bendonesia getting the "Things" like a upgrade is so Kamen Rider or tokusatsu in general, but yeah Kamen Rider
@@Hey_awesome so you hate iron man and you feel like you want to destroy every iron man that exists in this world, and kill the producers and creators of all iron man until iron man doesnt exist anymore?

Speaking About Indonesian Rip Off Show, There's Another Indonesian Rip Off Show Called "IH SEREMM" That Show It's Actually Scooby Doo Rip Off, Why? Because All Episode Of IH SEREMM Has A Fake Ghost Aka People Who Disguise Like Ghost With His Mask, But The Ghost Is Indonesian Version Like Pocong, Kuntilanak, And Tuyul.
Here is Ben 7 Alien Name and power,they are pretty simple (just adding their characteristics+man) -Manusia Obor/Torchman(the one that looks like heatblast):he has heatblast power and can create object from flames -Manusia Lele/Catfishman(the fish alien that kinda looks like Sharkboy):He can breath underwater and he can generate electricity -Manusia Badai/Storman(the one looks like XLR8):he can manipulate the weather -Manusia Burung/Birdman(kinda looks like Hawkman):he can fly and shoot his sharp feather -Manusia Batu/Stoneman(Looks like the thing): he's body is made of from rock and thats give him super strength and durability -Manusia Es/Iceman(The silver one):he can fire freeze ray like arcticguana but his freeze ray is from his hands -Manusia Bola/Ballman(The Yellow Waybig):his power is kinda combination of XLR8 & Cannonbolt,he can turn into ball and run at high speed but only in his ball form -Manusia Besi/Ironman:he has generator rex power combines with ironman For Hulkman and Flashman(yup thats their name) both of them has the same power as the original hulk and flash and Hulkman speak like Rath,Ben Also Unlock 2 new transformation as I remember Spiderman and Robocop(which he calls Robotman)the spiderman is having symbiote suit but still got the same power as normal spiderman and robotman can shoot laser & repair itself By the way the toy transformation doesn't have names On 11:26 the girl is actually saying "Ayo Ben/Go Ben" not Ironman,just saying 😂 and I used to watch this show when I was a kid LoL & after seeing your video I think I wanna redesign all of his alien and give them new power & new name too since it's too simple 😂🤣
2:37 Merpati Putih (White Pigeon) is a real silat school, this kid doesnt live in a hermitage, he lives in a dojo (which explains why everyone can do martial arts)
Wow even for indonesian kid myself at that time, this is the most outrageous and absurd live action attempt i've ever seen, i just can't comprehend the concept of why this is being made, i love ben 10 though
Dang, I remembered feeling kinda tired because the heat of the weather here then tv was on, frickin Ben 7 was there I was like "MAN WHAT THE HECK IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN"
Welcome to the strange world of Indonesians soap opera! where we have : -people can do back flips and throw energy balls for some reason, -a Villainess that turn into the heroine friend at some point but then became evil again for god knows reason why (multiple times, and yes it's in 1 show) - and have more than 100 episodes in less than a year.
Lmao, I remember watching this when I was a kid along with Ben 10, good ol' days haha, bring back the nostalgic. Back then, Indonesia soap opera (we call it here with "Sinetron") made a lot of rip off shows like this, I remember watching a rip off of Barbie and the Magic Pegasus, it has similar story plot with the Barbie. The only difference is the main character is a kid and the main guy is a bit older like teenager I guess, so their relationship is more like brother and sister, the villain also different which I think is a woman whereas in Barbie it's a man. I'm pretty sure there are many more rip off like these lost in the internet hahah. Anyways, great video, thank you for covering this👍
oh my god i remember watching this back in the day, weirdly gave me a lot of nostalgia because i don't have a realiable access to internet back then, so back in the day i just watch anything i can to entertain myself and my simblings.
So basically here in Indonesia how it works with non-government TV stations is that instead of the channel ordering production companies to create programs for them to air, they instead sell tv slots which the production companies will bid on so that they can air their programs on to that time slot. The production companies would then make their money back and a sizable profit from a percentage of the ad revenue. The tv station themselves doesn't really care much about the contents, so of course as a result we get atrociously bad TV dramas aimed at the lower class (which make up for most of the tv viewing demography) with minuscule budget and tight production schedules to cut even more costs. The scripts were written in house like an assembly line with each writer expected to hand in like I don't know maybe 10 episodes or more per week with zero regards to quality. And that's how shit shows like Ben 7 got made.
Fun fact: those power rangers ripoff is also a series. I remember watching it as a kid but I think it only runs for a short while. The human form of those rangers are early elementary school kids around the age of 6-8 years old. Unfortunatelly I can't remember their name and I can't find any videos of it.
Manusia lele - catfish man Manusia obor - torch man/human torch Manusia batu - rock man Manusia es - ice man Im not lying, thats the literal translation.
The biggest accomplishment was making sure we released this at the exact same time - always a pleasure to collab! Thanks for having me on!

Also FYW, "Obor" when translated from Indonesian to English means "Torch"
So closer translation of Manusia Obor isn't Obor Man, but Torch Man. AKA, The Human Torch.
Ben 7 is like if Ben 10 was a Tokusatsu show.
Not Tokusatsu like you’re thinking of. A Tokusatsu like Redman, oldschool Ultra Fight, or one of those Hanuman movies
The best youtuber crossover finally returns once again.
But overall I'm glad this video was more of a some what postive look at it instead of the usual kinds of videos, where someone would just tear this apart and make fun of it out of spite.
Because even was curious about this show when I found out about it some time ago.
Thank you!
@@TheInkTank You're welcome. :D
So the translation of the "aliens" names from their intros are:
Manusia Obor, kekuatan menyemburkan api naga - Torch Man, ability to spit dragon fire
Manusia Burung, sayap sakti - Bird Man, mighty wings
Manusia Lele, sengatan patil listrik - Catfish Man, electric sting
Manusia Es, kekuatan membekukan musuh - Ice Man, ability to freeze enemies
Manusia Batu, getaran batu bagai gempa - Rock Man, earthquakes
Manusia Bola (the Way Big guy i shit you not is actually Cannonbolt), bergelinding bagai bola - Ball Man, rolls as ball
Oh it's explained in the video
:(
Rock Man?🤨
@@FectoElfilin LMAO. Rock Man. That platformer gamee
@@fainthewanderer4060 I know, I was making a joke about The Rock.
some people would just blindly react mock this absurd series, but the thing is that they went deep into this makes this video really good
As to why there are Iron Man, Hulk, etc. rip offs, it's been a custom here in Indonesia to just blatantly include popular characters for no reason other than to attract audience/exposure. Also yes these kinds of series/soap operas in Indonesia are very professionally made from big studios, the only thing explaining the cheap CGI is that they had very tight deadlines as you guys mentioned, or here we say it "Kejar Tayang" which roughly translates to "Chasing Release".
Every single day there is a new episode, I can see these sinetrons hitting deadlines.
Lmao, almost forgot this show exist back then
2000-2010 was a wild time for Indonesian tv series 😭
Yeah.... i remembe there this weird superhero show call Super Inggo and a ninja kids parody super hero group that i kind off forget it name.....
@@syabilaazri7834It's "Super Hero Kocak"

Still better than Helluva Boss

The kid is playing Balan Wonderworld in real life with that belt.
the belt seems like a heavily modified Vital Charger from Kamen Rider Black, you can see the left side's lights behind the clearly added-in sun deco.
on that note: An arrogant guy find a belt that lets him change into multiple other forms from different beings/people. Is this Ben 7 or Kamen Rider Decade?
Edit: THEY RIPPED OFF THE SHINKENGER CROSSOVER?
Ben 7 is more than Ben 10 rip-off, Ben 7 is ultimate toku rip off
@@dirrothepokefan I can agree with that.
this is all decade's fault ONORE DIKEIDO!!!!
I think that belt has some kamen rider roots, which is also popular in Indonesia. Very cool.
I'm Indonesian and I can confirm this is factual
@@kakak.4852 I am too lol
Becuase of Hanuman right?
fr tho Satria Baja Hitam was the GOAT.
@@crowedarken that is so tru
What’s crazy is that this has 33 more episodes than the original Ben 10 which had 52. Keep that in mind. Then again Ben 7 took 5 months and Ben 10 took 3 1/2 years.
No shit, animating is way harder than ripping off
As an indonisan my self, i could say that shows like these is very common back in the day, I'm even surprised that it didn't have more episodes
13:10 I love how the showrunners just stopped caring and flat out stole the name of the actual Power Rangers villain, took away one d in Zedd, and then just posted that on what looks like the door of a janitor's closet!
god daymn my country,i used to have a ben 10 backpack when i was a kid and then my friends said "is that ben 7 backpack?" I responded "no,its ben 10",they were very stubborn,man i wish they knew
the Manusia Obor or Human Obor would directly translate to Human Torch, literally
As an indonesian, i've been equipped with the power of translating what the "alien" names are.
The "aliens" include:
Torchman (the heatblast guy)
Rockman (the thing lookin ahh)
Ice man (the grey dude)
Ball man (discount waybig)
Catfish man (the sharkboy thingy)
Bird man (the hawk)
And yes, im not kidding that is their real name.
Btw having a love interest is stable for every single soap opera no matter the genre.
This show feels like what a little kid plays in his bedroom when his parents hasn't bought him all the alien toys yet so he has to made some of them out with the toys he already has 🤣
Power Rangers and Ben 10 two of my favorite shows as a kid finally having a crossover. Too bad it's in a weird bootleg.
More Kamen Rider than Power rangers
It’s more like a crossover with iron man than ben 10
It’s more a The Flash crossover with Ben 10
Ben 7 basically is the "with your powers combined, I am ..." meme lmao. I already enjoyed the discussion regarding rip-offs/bootleg on this channel, but when it's regarding Ben 10, that's just the ultimate combo!
I know a friend from Indonesia and he told me that when this series got released, the amount of merchandise and toys are sky rocketing in Indonesia around that time and whenever you walk down the street, you'll always gonna find some kids wearing the Ben 7 (Ben Tujuh) shirt or backpack even until now.
Ngl, i kinda liked this show when i was a kid, crappy customes and effects aside, the og ben 10 hasn't been updated enough that it's just full of reruns and alien force hasn't come out yet (Indonesia's CN is usually kinda late, that's why i can still remember 90's CN bumper at the mid 2000's) , so i found this show and was thinking this was bad but has some charm in it knowing it's kinda like ben 10
Bro you just unlocked a forbidden memory from my brain wtf
I remember being hooked up to this series back when I was kid lmao
Ahh.... 2008-2010
The times when Almost every tv station in Indonesia tries to rip off as many popular characters as they can... Weird times.. But good times nonetheless
IIRC, the power rangers ripoff actually comes from a show that airs alongside Ben 7 the shows called "super rangers" (if you somehow decided to look into it, they might not look the same as the one you saw on the crossover episode, this is because they got several "upgrades" midseason, changing their appearance) and both of them were aired on what considered at that time as "Indonesian prime time" (19:00 - 21:00)
how
Speaking of Indonesian rip-offs, I'm not sure if you remember this one show on Global TV called "Superhero Kocak"
Now that one was a good time
@@brandonmumek1282 of course i remember, who wouldn't remember the huluk potrayed by the late Hendrik Ceper
@@brandonmumek1282
Superhero Kocak was not a rip-off, it's a comedy/parody show making fun of superheroes
@@brandonmumek1282 and dont forget about Ggs aka twilight rip off or many of the bizzare indosiar ftv. I remember if one of the ftv have story that oddly resemble Barbie, ghost rider and one of the cgi monsters are taken from The Waterhorse, a movie with loch ness monster
Ben 7 is just Ben 10 as a tokusatsu show.
Also, the moment I saw "Manusia Lele" (literally "Catfish Human"), I chuckled.
Ok somebody gonna have to do a cut of the opening to super alien hero buddy’s where Ben Prime says “somebody’s gonna pay for this big time!” When he watch’s Ben 7.
I really hope Ben's actor does an interview, I need some context for when I go through the playlist!
Lack of ben commiting mass genocide with his omnitrix gun and bane from Batman.
"I was born in the omnitrix, you were adopted by it."
So this is a Ben CLEARLY outside the central finite curve of the Ben 10 Omniverse , seemingly 🤔😅
My ben 7 headcanon is the belt, unlike the omnitrix, can turn into anything pretty much. So those 7 spirits at the start were sealed away, then hopped into the belt. So he can turn into straight up Iron Man and stuffs
Heatblast and XLR8? Please, those are clearly Reverse Flash and Spawn, and the White Spirit is clearly Ghost Shaggy. Shaggy became what he swore to destroy.
Im Indonesian, i watch the original Ben 10 and this ripoff [its aired arround the same time with this ripoff], i cringed asf but also enjoying this when i was a kid, my cousin meet with the ben actor and watching him shooting in the park. this show called Ben Tujuh in indonesian language
This was a really great video, though I couldn't help but get distracted by your Transformers collection just sitting in the corner and how absolutely excruciating it must have been to set all that up.
you have no idea
@@DiamondBolt great video😀
This is just Kamen rider
The belt and the poses, even Bendonesia getting the "Things" like a upgrade is so Kamen Rider or tokusatsu in general, but yeah Kamen Rider
I'm glad that the prequel is being covered
This wasn’t a ripoff, it’s the greatest prequel conceived
Agreed so batshit crazy it's fun like the bibleman show.
No
@@Hey_awesome cry
@@Rio_BJM I’m not even crying lmao
@@Hey_awesome so you hate iron man and you feel like you want to destroy every iron man that exists in this world, and kill the producers and creators of all iron man until iron man doesnt exist anymore?
I remember Ben7 and weird possesion scene is traumatizing me.
Im glad you were talked about this, you've been unlocked my (cursed) childhood that i forgotten
On the topic of bizarre Indonesian opera, did anybody remember "Sepatu Super"? That one is certified hood classic.
Speaking About Indonesian Rip Off Show, There's Another Indonesian Rip Off Show Called
"IH SEREMM" That Show It's Actually Scooby Doo Rip Off, Why? Because All Episode Of IH SEREMM Has A Fake Ghost Aka People Who Disguise Like Ghost With His Mask, But The Ghost Is Indonesian Version Like Pocong, Kuntilanak, And Tuyul.
Yeah... and us Malaysia have Muzium Misteri and Antoo Fighter. I pretty sure you find these two show on youtube
Here is Ben 7 Alien Name and power,they are pretty simple (just adding their characteristics+man)
-Manusia Obor/Torchman(the one that looks like heatblast):he has heatblast power and can create object from flames
-Manusia Lele/Catfishman(the fish alien that kinda looks like Sharkboy):He can breath underwater and he can generate electricity
-Manusia Badai/Storman(the one looks like XLR8):he can manipulate the weather
-Manusia Burung/Birdman(kinda looks like Hawkman):he can fly and shoot his sharp feather
-Manusia Batu/Stoneman(Looks like the thing): he's body is made of from rock and thats give him super strength and durability
-Manusia Es/Iceman(The silver one):he can fire freeze ray like arcticguana but his freeze ray is from his hands
-Manusia Bola/Ballman(The Yellow Waybig):his power is kinda combination of XLR8 & Cannonbolt,he can turn into ball and run at high speed but only in his ball form
-Manusia Besi/Ironman:he has generator rex power combines with ironman
For Hulkman and Flashman(yup thats their name) both of them has the same power as the original hulk and flash and Hulkman speak like Rath,Ben Also Unlock 2 new transformation as I remember Spiderman and Robocop(which he calls Robotman)the spiderman is having symbiote suit but still got the same power as normal spiderman and robotman can shoot laser & repair itself
By the way the toy transformation doesn't have names
On 11:26 the girl is actually saying "Ayo Ben/Go Ben" not Ironman,just saying 😂
and I used to watch this show when I was a kid LoL & after seeing your video I think I wanna redesign all of his alien and give them new power & new name too since it's too simple 😂🤣
"Rip-off"???, HAH THIS IS HIGH ULTIMATE PRODUCTION RIGHT HERE THIS IS TOP TIER HOLYWOOD LEVEL.
I like the part where Ben says it's bennin time
@@hafidhmumtazil1256 so true
I never expected Ben 7 to show up in my feed after all these years. But, Good job Diamondbolt for bringing this masterpiece (lmao) back to my memory
Manusia Obor is the "Torch Man" literally, the name of the torch man superhero, so I dunno why it was translated as "the power of spewing fire"
A collab we didn't know we wanted still we got it cause we deserve it.. Love U both! Keep up the splendid job, U guys!
Haven’t watched the full video yet but i know this is a big ass W
2:37 Merpati Putih (White Pigeon) is a real silat school, this kid doesnt live in a hermitage, he lives in a dojo (which explains why everyone can do martial arts)
This is basically Ben 10-3 fused with Kamen Rider.
The Return of The Asylum Era of Dimondbolt.
Kinda feels like Kamen rider Ghost with the way he transforms.
Wow even for indonesian kid myself at that time, this is the most outrageous and absurd live action attempt i've ever seen, i just can't comprehend the concept of why this is being made, i love ben 10 though
Dang, I remembered feeling kinda tired because the heat of the weather here then tv was on, frickin Ben 7 was there I was like "MAN WHAT THE HECK IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN"
Welcome to the strange world of Indonesians soap opera!
where we have :
-people can do back flips and throw energy balls for some reason,
-a Villainess that turn into the heroine friend at some point but then became evil again for god knows reason why (multiple times, and yes it's in 1 show)
- and have more than 100 episodes in less than a year.
Honestly I use to watch this like only 2 episode, I thought it was a fever dream
So it’s an Indonesian tokusatsu series based off ben 10
Lmao, I remember watching this when I was a kid along with Ben 10, good ol' days haha, bring back the nostalgic. Back then, Indonesia soap opera (we call it here with "Sinetron") made a lot of rip off shows like this, I remember watching a rip off of Barbie and the Magic Pegasus, it has similar story plot with the Barbie. The only difference is the main character is a kid and the main guy is a bit older like teenager I guess, so their relationship is more like brother and sister, the villain also different which I think is a woman whereas in Barbie it's a man. I'm pretty sure there are many more rip off like these lost in the internet hahah. Anyways, great video, thank you for covering this👍
I would love to see Kuro do his own take on Ben 7 and make it make sense. I dare him to try!
oh my god i remember watching this back in the day, weirdly gave me a lot of nostalgia because i don't have a realiable access to internet back then, so back in the day i just watch anything i can to entertain myself and my simblings.
I watch this show as a kid, and I shit you not there's an episode where he turn in to the hulk and fight a fucking lego monster
I feel this is a strange ben 10 and kamen rider crossover
So basically here in Indonesia how it works with non-government TV stations is that instead of the channel ordering production companies to create programs for them to air, they instead sell tv slots which the production companies will bid on so that they can air their programs on to that time slot. The production companies would then make their money back and a sizable profit from a percentage of the ad revenue. The tv station themselves doesn't really care much about the contents, so of course as a result we get atrociously bad TV dramas aimed at the lower class (which make up for most of the tv viewing demography) with minuscule budget and tight production schedules to cut even more costs. The scripts were written in house like an assembly line with each writer expected to hand in like I don't know maybe 10 episodes or more per week with zero regards to quality. And that's how shit shows like Ben 7 got made.
7:40 Ben 7's villain is Wonder Of U
Also 13:05 that's literally just Zedd's staff
13:14 "Kamar Lord Zed, Janda Dilarang Masuk" translates as "Lord Zed's room, widows not allowed".
I love how everyone who is Indonesian came flocking to this video.
As an Indonesi-
Fun fact: those power rangers ripoff is also a series. I remember watching it as a kid but I think it only runs for a short while. The human form of those rangers are early elementary school kids around the age of 6-8 years old. Unfortunatelly I can't remember their name and I can't find any videos of it.
Manusia lele - catfish man
Manusia obor - torch man/human torch
Manusia batu - rock man
Manusia es - ice man
Im not lying, thats the literal translation.
Ben Tennyson: "Who are you?"
Ben Sevenson(?): "I'm you, but shorter and I have seven aliens instead of 10."
correction for "Obor Human/Manusia Obor": Obor is literally mean Torch
