Kyuranger 18: It's Another Universe After All?!
Sorry for the delay! This isn't the first time it happened is it? Let's get down to business and discuss about this crazy, rushed crossover. My slight beef is that where in the world is Kenji Ohba? Maybe he's decided not to appear for personal reasons but it's still a great episode. Anyway, new school Gavan, Geki Jumonji is still keeping his job proving himself to be the true successor and not stupid Zaidorks. Speaking of which didn't he also appear for two episodes on Go-Busters? Hmmm... the mind boggles how many universes do exist in Toei's Tokusatsu genres anyway?!
Weird science is always part of Tokusatsu isn't it? I still remember some comics and shows as a child. I could remember the repetitive narrative in Gavan that says that the Makuu Space is similar to a Black Hole. Somehow black holes in some science fiction series tend to be a portal to another universe in some way. They are seen chasing Madoka who stole the Pyxis Kyutama which leads to a series of hilarious events. A huge misunderstanding is only natural especially you've been rammed to a completely different universe!
It was rumored that Doggie is actually a relative of Garu. Garu states that he's the last of his kind and he's a wolf. Doggie's well a dog. The two belong to two different universes. It's possible that Garu may have a brother who looks like Doggie in the Kyuranger continuity but not in the new universe that they are brought into.
The four do a crossover battle. This also spells the end of Madoka. So what's the next rules? If Madoka dies in another universe so how does that affect the universe the Kyurangers are into? Speaking of which it's not surprising how Dragon Ball Super is also part of Toei's properties. I haven't been watching Dragon Ball Super though. It was nice to see the team-up battle and the Death Worm enlarges itself. Too bad we never see the Zaidorks make a fool out of themselves in this episode.
It's nice to see the CGI Dolgiram show up to do some badass kicking. My only complaint is that why isn't the CGI Dolgiram getting the chance to have the classic Dolgiram theme played while it's in action? We see a Double Dragon team where Ryu Voyager and Dolgiram team up. I love how the episode addresses standing up on the heads of the dragons. Hmmm... speaking of which didn't that also happen in Dairanger and Gingaman? Sidenote, I wish Avilo from Zaido appeared in this episode only to break apart or the Zaidorks get destroyed by their stupidity.
This episode also backs up the Multiverse Theory that has long been in my head since I was watching Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. Speaking of which, it would be fun to think if both Captain Marvelous and Tsukasa Kadoya get pulled into the Kyuranger universe for a crazy crossover. Just think of what if a whole new what-if scenario.
Considering it's golf week next week (so no Super Hero Time) so I may consider writing something else or nothing at all for this blog. It might be what I'd call "break time". I also wish Over-Time can continue subbing Timeranger and I'll probably devote myself to catching up with the dark and gritty world of Amazons. But I can't wait to see the Kyurangers in another planet yet again. Can't wait to see how Scorpio can prove himself to be one magnificent villain as he causes trouble for the Kyurangers.
