this is funny but also extremely sad because you know toei will burn any footage they had of her in the future episodes and there is no chance we will ever get to see them

>>23613306
Something kind of similar happened when they broadcasted the Garo HD remaster on TV. One of the horror actors got arrested years after the show ended and his episode couldn't be broadcasted on TV anymore, but IT COULD be streamed and watched on bluray, so Gozyuger's probably fine for streaming and to sell on physical media as it is, they just can't show Maya Imamori on TV at all from now on, so they can't do re-runs of Gozyuger nor they can ever broadcast the movie on TV unless they edit her scenes out.

It seems they do intend to release episode 37 on streaming services at a later date, but as of right now, no streaming service has it and Abema doesn't even have a page for Gozyuger anymore

Just goes to show you shouldn't be slutting around with your coworkers

How did her "underage drinking" get released to the public? Who snitched?
Maybe a timeline of events leading up to this will illuminate more.

>>23613586
paparazzi apparently

>>23613373
We are so fucked.

>>23613586
Might just be a deliberate leak, like admitting to a less offense and hope that'd be enough for people to not dig any further. The whole "she's in a public TV show where kids have difficulty differentiating fiction and reality (like an actor going "I left my transformation device so that I won't accidentally leave it in public" kayfabe so as not to ruin the kid's imagination) and we can not tolerate her drinking while still not in legal age to do so" seems like a good compromise where rather her tryst with a married man will be kept in the shadows and she could come back again to showbiz a few years later once things settle down plus she's of legal age by then.

>>23612697
no, they're gonna do it sooner or later, most of the western community is gonna move on from this within a week or two and by the time universe hero comes out everyone will have fully moved on

>>23613586
The agency said it happened.
You don't think whether it happened its relevant right?

>removed Maya from the show
>God smites all the flips over the next 24 hours

>>23613586
>Insider from Toei dropped a rumor online that Sumino had an internal affair with a married man and that Toei put a pause on the show and the person involved would be revealed soon (pretty unfortunate timing as when it happened Ryuji left the team temporarily and people confused him for the person involved).
>Toei announces Kosuke Asai will be leaving the show due to a chronic illness (Illness was known beforehand but prior to the show airing he said he planned on making this his last roll and making it all the way to the final stage so this was very abrupt). Shigeki Ito replaces him as Gozyu Wolf somewhere in the late 20's.
>Leaker comes back and gives us more details including Asai sneaking Imamori into his home, both sides seeking each other when off set, alcohol involvement, and Asai's wife seeking legal action. People at Toei and her cast members furious as they now have to rework already filmed episodes.
>Japanese tabloid Bunshun drops essentially those same rumors from a Toei Insider but they frame it as Imamori being the agressor, this was later edited into Asai taking the lead in the relationship. All of Imamori's social media goes dark, Toei and Seju try to ignore it but leave signs that she's being scrubbed.
>Toei announces her departure from the show due to underage drinking, contract is terminated and Seju also scrubs her entirely from their agency site. She returns to apologize on social media.
And you are here, whether you believe it or not this is the current timeline events. If you like being a bad actor ignore all the rumors and underage drinking and pretend they fired her for being filipinx. If you believe the rumors enjoy knowing she said she liked Lupinred (one of Asai's suit roles) in one of the confession room episodes.

>>23613754
It's clear the leaker was Asai's wife herself, no one else would have this much detail and motivation to truly fuck over everyone who scorned her.

>>23613756

The underage drinking part wasn't even part of the tabloid articles, it came straight from Toei and her agency in the recent press releases. I've actually seen comments on Japanese twitter about how weird this is, since something like a drinking scandal would usually happen due to photos or video on the web, not just an agency coming and admitting it then firing their talent.

So are they keep going the series with all male rangers or are they eventually gonna introduce another female ranger?

She must be even more retarded than previously thought if she got publically drunk anywhere at a time her every move was being scrutinized

While I do feel sympathetic to Maya (she must feel awfully overwhelmed and I hope she has people in her life supporting her right now), a lot of the outrage I am seeing seems performative and oportunistic.

It seens to me a lot of these people are just the usual suspects using the shitstorm as a chance to show how "enlightened" they are by going against "the evil incel japs"

Hell, she might even have agreed on this story as cover up over the affair rumor, regardless of the affair being real or not.
Seems easier to correct with "oh my bad, that liquid wasn't alcohol and that attitude wasn't drunkenness, all is forgiven", or rationalize as an one-time accident as an affair would be a longer and more deliberate action.

>>23613916
just today, Bunshun (aka: Japanese TMZ), literally did ANOTHER piece on her, claiming she banged a soccer team. JUST INMEDIATELY after the firing.

https://x.com/shukan_bunshun/status/1987052482506186779

not only the whole underage drinking associations are fake and a cover up story for the other sex affair. but this confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt said sex affair was fake too. they just want her dead for some reason (possibly racism)

>>23614040
Hopefully she does JAV after this.

>>23614040
This is almost cartoonish.

>>23614040
>possibly racism
Go back to Twitter.

>>23614043
Hope so.

>>23614040
At this point you're probably strawmanning out of stupidity and wanting Imamori's career to end permanently.
If you really cared about Imamori you would accept she was a homewrecker, and play into the fact that she was let go for simply drinking underage, and your best actions would be to complain that it's not fair that she was dismissed when she was only a few months from being 20 - THIS is exactly what Imamori and her agency wants so that the actual scandal can be completely buried.
By continuing to blame racism and sexism and other dumb shit and rallying behind the turbo libtard dipshit simping white knight banner you are trying to put the fire out with gasoline and not allowing her to move on.

>>23614040
>claiming she banged a soccer team. JUST INMEDIATELY after the firing.
They didn't, it's the same stuff they've been reporting about her having cheated on her soccer playera boyfriend with Asai. But go ahead, keep coping alongside all the other Twitter trannies who insist she's innocent.

>>23614059
>>23614060
Everything tabloid magazines on any country say must be taken as fiction until confirmed otherwise.

>>23614064
Go head and believe that, it's not my problem, I literally do not care for Imamori nor anything that's going on, but I will laugh when the woke actions of the retarded few actually worsen her situation because they cannot piece together the absolutely fucking obvious of what's going on.

>>23614040
It doesn't say that at all you fucking retard.
It doesn't claim she fucked an entire soccer team at all, how fucking cartoonishly over the top would that be?
All you can do is lie, spread rumors and conspiracy theories because you jerk off to this almost underage actress.
The headline say that she's been two-timing a 19 year old soccer player. I don't have access to the whole article, so I don't know the details either, but that's probably the boyfriend she cheated on with Asai.

>>23614082
That appears to be the case. Yutaka Michiwaki (19) is referred to as her boyfriend in another article.
So no actual news at all. You just defended this poor poor woman by claiming she's fucking a dozen other men.

>>23614082
That's what I can gather as well.
>Maya Imamori was dating Yutaka Michiwaki, a soccer player
>Maya Imamori was caught several times by Kosuke Asai wife being snuck into the house to drink alcohol and get intimate with each other, and has been collecting evidence to build a case against the both of them, and is most likely the source of all the leaks, understandable given how fucking livid and emotional she would be over it
>Kosuke Asai abruptly "retires" due to "health reasons related to epilepsy"
>Last few months has literally been cover up work, with some obvious hints being absolutely no public appearance by Imamori as well as her social media accounts going dead silent
>Toei, Seju AND Imamori herself decide that the best and gentlest way for both sides to cut ties is to frame it as "Getting caught drinking underage"

Dumbasses on social media literally cannot comprehend the corporate web of lies that have been employed to try and save face for EVERYONE involved and think it's something morbidly simple as racism or sexism.

>>23614090
I agree with what you’re saying, but I do think it’s unfair Imamori, who still is a teenager, is completely being made the scapegoat for Asai, who is a grown ass married man and also knew exactly what he was doing. Really feels like the media is putting all of the responsibility and the coverage on her. Not to say that 19 is too young for her to be aware of the consequences of her actions, but there’s an at least equally guilty party here and it seems like no one cares.

>>23614095
It is indeed very unfair. Asai managed to get off relatively unscathed outside of ending his career and the inevitable fallout with his wife by conveniently retiring immediately once it all came to his wife's and by proxy, Toei's attention.

>>23614090
there was a better way to save face for everyone: just fucking ignore the obvious tabloids obviously lying.

by agreeing with the tabloids you aren't defending her either. you just want to be happy she got screwed over and the show she worked at (as well as a franchise) got ruined beyond belief.

Wasn't Asai's health public knowledge for some time?

>>23614095
The tabloid names both of them, while Toei provided both of them alternate reasons why they're booted from the show

What if the wife is the one who had an affair

>>23614103
Anon do you seriously think Toei and Seju did all of this, only for the affair to be a lie? Japan fucking loves defamation suits and slander, if this was a lie we would have seen Toei make a statement when the news first broke.
Clearly whoever leaked the news the first time had serious damning evidence.

>>23614103
If they were lying then they'd have actually ignored them.

>>23614095
Not gonna say that bias against women isn't a factor here, because it certainly is. But from the perspective of tabloids as a form of entertainment, it makes sense they're primarily targeting the pretty face actress and not the middle aged guy whose face is covered up most of the time he's on screen.

>>23614108
yes, I think unironically that Toei and Seju did all of this, only for the affair to be a lie.

and even if it were truth, you still ignore the accusations. because the 'journalists''reporting' on this crap, as you just pointed it out, love defamation and slander.

>>23614116
You’re barely even fucking speaking English so I have literally no idea what you’re trying to say.

>>23614100
>by conveniently retiring immediately once it all came to his wife's and by proxy, Toei's attention.
Pretty sure he got fired as well and that the premature retirement due to his illness "worsening" is just Toei's cover up.

Realistically speaking, if actual legal action started from either side wouldn't it extend for months if not years until Gozyuger finished airing ie after damage was done? So no benefit in getting the lawyers, not now at least.

>>23614032
>regardless of the affair being real or not.
right, she randomly agred to ruin her image

>gravure model
>19
Is that a normal thing?

>>23614121
Yes, UNLESS the tabloid side had serious evidence, then there’s no real point for any party to take it to court since the tabloids win the case easily.

>>23614119
SEAs are getting extremely desperate in their attempts to defend their "compatriot".

Has anybody ever even once posted this fucking “racism” from the original article? I swear I saw this claim pick ip so much steam but I’ve never seen a single actual excerpt/screenshot of these statements.

>>23614122
Yes, if affair is real then this at the very minimum leaves Asai and other third parties safe so minimizes shockwave effects. If affair is fake, then it's much easier to correct the underage drinking as an error on Toei/the agency and clear Imamori of all charges. Would make sense for the drinking to be made-up given that there was no mention of it until this weekend.

>>23614133
Even as someone who doesn't believe the tabloids are 100% true, the racism claims were definitely spread by Twitter to make the rumors seem baseless.
They can't comprehend a tabloid site would attack someone either because they actually have evidence, or for the love of the game and clicks, so they have to find some other reason, and her race is right there. Don't know why they didn't just cling onto the sexism angle instead, that actually has a little basis.

If they actually scrapped Sumino's alleged farewell episode, yes. Any week they don't air an episode is one episode less for the show, since the next show has a set debut date that lines up with the release of its first toys.

>>23614195
You’re entirely missing the forest for the trees. This is literally just Southeast Asians doing everything in their power to defend for because she’s Filipino. You might notice most of the posts ANYWHERE talking about the racism usually have really terribly English. This is barely a Western fanbase issue, albeit, a lot of them are probably running with the racism angle now that it picked up steam due to SEAmonkeys.

>>23614201
There MIGHT be a race angel but there's been half-Filipina half-Japanese sentai actresses (Yui Koike) before. They even had an ethnic Korean dude as Gaosilver and a half-American half-Japanese woman.

The purity clause is retarded but US studios enforced shit like this for decades way back in the day. Once your an actor, your public image reflects the studio and your marketability.

>>23614209
The problem is I would totally be willing to accept the race angle IF the entire race angle wasn’t built on people telling me the original article WAS racist with zero proof at all. If it was such a racist hit piece I don’t know why I’m not seeing screenshots of the racist quotes everywhere.

In retrospect it's a good thing that Gozyuger is the 49th show so if they ever bring Sentai back they have the draw of returning with the 50th show and can just pretend Gozyuger never happened.
