So new chapter in Japan seems to be a pretty obvious reference in the new enemiesShits going downReally hope this gets season 2 some day
>>23705199>Evil Rangers based of the big name kaijuNot on my bingo card, but I'll take it.I love how much this series loves tokusatsu.
We need more Yihdra
S2 likely would start where the manga left off since the flashback to Red's first quest would be a good opening episode but how far would it go? 12 episodes at the around pace of S1 would probably get through Bad End as the best place to capstone the season but that very quickly leads into a fairly lengthy series of events that all chain into another.I suppose there could be some bonus content in between the end of the fight and before Patchwork explains the Demon Queen's nature.
>>23705630A good intro episode would actually be the special K5 prologue chapter since the anime definitely loved doing the Sentai stuff. From there, assuming its 12 episodes, they should at least be able to get to the port and leave for the Demi Humans, and maybe cover Bad End, assuming no special stuff like an original K5 flashback episode again (Which I wouldn't be against)
>>23705199Oh, I thought we were wrapping up.
>>23705199Cool, the Digimon Frontier arc.
>>23705695Nah, back in...September? August? Whichever, what people thought was the final arc ended with a surprise lead in to a new arc.>>23705708Oh no, its better. They aren't just blatantly based off of 5 of the biggest names in Kaiju, they are called the Demon Sentai Stella Five, so they are deliberately invoking the Evil Ranger typeAnon who asked for Kaiju after Ultra Lowji got his wish,
>>23705199Is that a shovel?
>>23705743> 5 of the biggest names in KaijuHuh. I didn't realize Biolante was so crucial. Wouldn't have been one of my top picks in any regard. GIGAAAAAAAAAAAN! RISE!
>>23705754>I didn't realize Biolante was so crucialYou weren't curious why it was picked as one of the ones to appear in the Godzilla/Evangelion collab?
>>23705754>>23705772It probably also has to do with who those 5 are and call backs to that arc. The Biollante one was the one with earth magic did the field work. A plant kaiju fits with that. The stuff for each is probably tied in to their character.
>>23705218It makes perfect sense since the Negarangers were kaiju but I wouldnt have expected them to be references to anything like this either. Really fucking awesome.
>>23705199>RightMothra>Bottom RightGamera?>MiddleGodzilla?>Top LeftGhidoraNo clue about bottom left. They looks Kaiju themed MonHun players.
>>23705831Bottom left seems to be biollante
>>23705199What, no Rodan?
>>23705831Top left looks more like Gargorgon to me personally

>>23705831>>23705887They should be weak to Headpats!
>>23705199I'm really looking forward to next month's chapter to see how they get out of this considering all five of thr main cast are at their limits right now.Also wondering what this means for Vidara and Domad now that their mom has some new kids.
>>23706311>Also wondering what this means for Vidara and Domad now that their mom has some new kids.Considering how she is, I'm sure she's fairly likely to disown them, especially Vidara since she ran away. Wouldn't surprise me if she ends up killing her like she did Shau'ha for one reason or another.
>>23706368I'm expecting something for Vidara since currently she is thoroughly unsympathetic. Even Vidan managed to get some sympathy from Azir as he died.Given the trend, they'll have to do something to introduce her reawakened past life memories.Domad is still probably in her good graces though. He just probably is not dealing well with everything that went down since he isn't a bad guy, just on the wrong side. He definitely could get a redemption arc.
>>23705199Given the revival, I wonder if we get a Metal Hero now that we have kaiju.
>>23706414I think that things are a bit too neat for the author to make some last minute changes like that.Something I think would be fun would be if the final chapter has a brief gag where Red does the "Sentai Handoff" to someone completely out of context at the end of the series with the isekai cast wondering how they know each other and Red saying they've never met but knows they'd have a good bond.Having someone with a more bulky and gritty Metal Heroes appearance and story setting for contrast would make for a good comedic impact.
>>23706414>>23706421If we get one, it'll probably be because he planned one in advance, which, I wouldn't be surprised by. Nakayoshi has been pretty good with his planning and everything thus far.Just like Azir came back and got to be his own Rider (Still weird he isn't with the main group right now) I wouldn't be shocked if, say, Connor came back to prominence since he also got a lot of focus his arc
Its been exactly one year today since the anime premiered.Probably one of my favorite anime last year.
>>23705754Biollante is one of the most popular films in Japan. Japanese fans rank it as one of the best in the series. They’re totally wrong though.
>>23706311>I'm really looking forward to next month's chapter to see how they get out of this considering all five of the main cast are at their limits right now.Surely this is the best possible time for the rest of the Kizuna Five (plus Kiyoshiro) and Shau'ha to come to the rescue, right? Between us now having confirmation that the scene at the end of the anime is canon to the manga as well, and Shau'ha (who has shown herself to be quite skilled at teleportation magic) recently being killed by the Demon Queen and thus likely going to Tougo's world, this is the perfect opportunity for that to happen and for us to get a quaint sentai vs. sentai battle (with a full roll call that Yidhra excitedly joins in on). The only potential downside would be Shau'ha stealing Yidhra's thunder by figuring out other world teleportation before her, but you could get potentially around that by having her only partially figure it out, i.e. as a one way trip to her original world with absolutely no idea of how to get back. That would also allow you to have an emotional moment with Tougo being touched that they'd go that far that for him.
>>23708275Kiyohiro, rather. Had his name right on the image I posted and still messed it up lol, must have focused too much on him being Kizuna White
>>23707695Which is incredibly ironic because it initially flopped in Japan, which in turn caused the sequel series to cybercop (toho’s second attempt in a sentai like series) being canned AND reorganized into the metal jack anime by sunrise
>>23708275>The only potential downside would be Shau'ha stealing Yidhra's thunder by figuring out other world teleportation before herYihdra already figured it out, or at least is on the track to, by using the Doppelgangers.
>>23708628Ah, okay. I looked over that chapter when it first released a couple of months ago, but not knowing moon meant I could only glean surface level info from it, nice to hear that it's even less of a potential issue than I thought.

>>23717553Imaging if you shut your goddamn whore mouth and die
>>23717553That would be pretty dumb and kind of spit in the face of what happened with Bad End.
If we're sharing crackpot theories/concerns as to what might happen to Yidhra, here's one: What if the Demon Queen plans on trying to corrupt her with her vile mana? Vidara plotted to do a similar thing with Teltina, and it's definitely been established by this point that the Demon Queen is every bit as evil as her children, with her and Vidara seeming the most similar in character. There's also potential foreshadowing in the fact that Yidhra had very high affinity with the succubus demihuman transformation, which (obviously) just so happens to look demonic.

Does this look like a good roadmap for season 2?>Ep 13: The remainder of the Sun Forest arc>Ep 14: Flashback to Red's first day after getting isekaid>Ep 15-16: Age regression arc>Ep 17-19: Orphanage arc + Cloning Bitch>Ep 20-24: Demi-human country arc up to Bad End, ending on cliffhanger with the Shauha reveal
>>23727687>ending on cliffhanger with the Shauha revealThey might omit this the same way they did the Sun Forest reveal
>>23727776>They might omit this the same way they did the Sun Forest revealThat was mainly because there wasn't enough room for it since the Bansou Killer flashback was expanded from a couple panels to an entire episode. But even if a similar episode happens in season 2, 4 episodes should still be enough to get that far
>>23727687Good roadmap.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysO6rBd1ovUIf this series were to get into a SRW game, what other series do you feel it would mesh well with?
>>23741388If you're adapting the actual plot, you obviously want other fantasy world stuff. Wataru, Dunbine, Rayearth, etc.Whether you're doing the plot or not, you also can throw in other toku-adjacent series like Gridman, Fuuto Pi, Ultraman anime, even Tekkaman Blade, etc.
>>23741388Dunbine. Or New Dunbine, because they could make Show and co part of the original Hero party and play into reincarnation angles. Either way, Dunbine is probably the best due to it also having reincarnation cycle stuff.Other Isekai mecha stuff like Rayearth Outside of the isekai angleJeeg or Kotestsushin Jeeg since Hiroshi has always been a bit of pseudo Toku hero.Majestic Prince could be cool since Ees is exactly the kind of hero Izuru loves.And the impossible, but actual Super Sentai.
Tomorrow is the 10th in Japsn. Spoilers within the next day or so.I'm really excited to see what happens next.
>>23741388Everyone mentioned pretty much everything. Maybe Sakura Wars to go with the love theme. Brave series, GunxSword because the El Dorado and all the classic 5 man team series that predated super sentai ike Combattler V. Dancouga for animal themed combiners.But itd be fun to add even more contrasting elements than just isekai fantasy and sentai. Something like Big O. Imagine Roger having to put up with all that shit.

>>23746585Bit of a slowpoke moment, but the chapter 48.5 TLs getting ripped recently made me realize that those are the only chapters so far that aren't whole numbers. I'm guessing that was done intentionally so the mangaka could delay the use of 50 for this month.
>>23746585Didn't realize a new translation dropped. Nice.[SPOILER]Red and Sabi are definitely reincarnated linked, this chapter settles it, if they really are building up to Yihdra and Silver that way. But I still wonder what this means if Bad End's world has no Silver. Silver seems to be such a huge X Factor because of everything.[/SPOILER]
Holy Moly!

Can Lowji's sword still transform? I wanna say yes but don't think he's used any of the other forms since Lanars fixed it
https://xcancel.com/matcha_koma/status/2022668515564753169#m
>>23717569Wasn't Bad End pulled from another earth reincarnation cycle altogether or something
>>23752744And? It still would go against that whole arc
>>23749733We have no idea of the reformed holy sword's powers at the moment, no. I wouldn't be surprised if it also got some sort of power up.
What would you consider the plot points that ought to be addressed before the end of this series? Off the top of my head, I can think of the following:We still have no idea about a lot of things involving Silver (why only our Red has her as part of his world compared to the other Reds, what happened to her after the fight against the Demon Queen, why her ghost/spirit pops up to whisper things into Vidara or Yidhra's ears on occasion.)When and how the Kizuna Five will end up appearing in the main story (presumably this will be due to Shau'ha, which will also tie up the loose end of what happened to her after the Demon Queen killed her.)Vidara and Domad still need to be dealt with, because even if the Demon Queen (seemingly) no longer cares about where they are and what they're doing based on the latest chapter, they're too dangerous to just leave alone, even if against all odds our heroes were to somehow defeat the Demon Queen before fighting them.On that subject, we still haven't seen the Demon Queen's second form yet, nor Domad's, though I have a feeling we'll be seeing the former shortly, most likely in the upcoming chapter in March, since I'm sure the plan to save Stella and the kids won't just go nice and smoothly and easily. I have confidence they will be saved at the end of the day, because our heroes having to kill them all to save the world would be far too grim and bittersweet an end for this series and wouldn't make much sense.
>>23757719Shau'ha is definitely coming back. Unlike the other two, we didn't get her past life flashback upon her "death" so that seems like an obvious tell. Shes probably in Red's WorldSpeaking of which, the mystery on how Reincarnation Banishment works, why people end up when since they point out the most recent english chapter why did Silver and Red end up in different eras despite obviously having the connection to do so.
>>23757740>the mystery on how Reincarnation Banishment works, why people end up when since they point out the most recent English chapter why did Silver and Red end up in different eras despite obviously having the connection to do soAs far as that goes, I think it's both because Yihdra is most likely Silver's reincarnation (or at least obviously has something to do with her), so Tougo got pulled to her era for that reason, and also because Sabi is most likely Tougo's previous life, and it would only make sense that you can't have two instances of the same soul in the same era, which means it becomes impossible for Tougo to have gone to the same era Silver did.

There needs to be some way to add alternate parts to clean up their transformation because it's near perfect.

>>23764919https://xcancel.com/doramon1999/status/2029194557838246260#mSeems to be progressing smoothly
>>23749160I don't know moon particularly well either, but I think someone who does frequents these threads on occasion, so I'll go ahead and post any pages that caught my attention and he can correct any info I've gotten wrong if he wants to.Starting with page 1, it's basically describing the aftereffects of the Demon Queen successfully using Aether Earth, which include earthquakes all around the world and magical interference around Ruig that is preventing them from warping anybody there.
>>23772473On page 2, we have Patchwork recalling some horrible absorption power (?) that the Break Up King obtained and used on one of the executives (I don't understand this part too well), while also having a feeling that something bad is about to happen, just like he did when him and the hero party went to fight the Demon Queen 1000 years ago. He's hoping for Red to focus on survival over bonds just this once because he'd rather not have him die.
>>23772478On page 9, we have Teltina asking why the Demon Queen is going on and on about "Heroes" all of the sudden and if she has some sort of grudge against Red, to which she says that's not the case. She's been pondering for a long time why she lost against a bunch of weak humans, and after losing to Red and friends she realized that it's because she didn't have any sort of "Hero" of her own to save her. Tougo asks about her Beloved Children, to which she replies that "subordinates" and "family' are no good/won't cut it.
Page 10 has the Demon Queen stating that a "Hero" is someone that courageously stands up no matter the situation, someone that can go above and beyond and call forth a miracle to overcome any hardship; which is why out of all the places she could have gone to, she chose the orphanage since a lot of good "material" had gathered there that she could make use of.
>>23772494On page 11 we have Tougo asking if the Demon Queen tricked/toyed with the children, to which she says that of course she didn't, she merely gave them the power needed to protect that which they cherish. She compares it to Tougo and everyone else drawing their strength from fighting for others, claiming that she is just the same source of strength for the children.
>>23772508On page 15, we have the start of a flashback where Tougo is asking Patchwork about saving the person who the Demon Queen possessed, to which he replies that even just defeating her is a hard enough task as-is, and trying to do something like that will just make it unlikely for you to even keep yourself alive.
>>23772509On page 16 we have Tougo acknowledging that fact, but he doesn't want to give up on saving the person and the bonds they've formed just because it's more difficult. Lowji adds in that since there is concern that Teltina could get possessed should the Demon Queen be killed in her current body, he'd also like to discuss potential countermeasures. Patchwork starts pointing out that there may be no possibility in the first place if the Demon Queen's possession removes the original body's soul, but Lanars interrupts and says that there's an important bit of info in regards to that.
>>23772515That bit of into being that after she was beheaded and the Demon Queen's soul had left her body, Yuous' consciousness and soul did return for a moment. Yihdra and Teltina basically talk about how that means serves as proof that the original soul is still in the body even after the Demon Queen possesses someone, and if you could find a way to remove her soul from the body, the person could be saved. Patchwork starts thinking of ways in which that could be done, though none come to mind that would be very effective on something like the Demon Queen, but Tougo has an idea for that.
>>23772527That idea being that in the instant after taking out the Demon Queen, he uses Elemental Kizuna Rebuild to remake the person's body, and using the power of bonds, call the person's soul back into their body. Patchwork points all of the potential problems, such as whether you could even use the power of bonds to return the soul into the rebuilt body, as well as the fact that what conditions you'll be fighting the Demon Queen under in the first place.
>>23772529Patchwork continues saying that it's theoretically possible but extremely unlikely to succeed, and to basically put the idea aside until they actually manage to locate the Demon Queen. Tougo thinks that with the bonds they have with the children, and the bond they share with Stella, it should be possible. The rest is just business as usual, to which Yihdra asks what he means. Tougo points out that throughout all of their journey they've faced dangerous and uncertain problems, time and time again. But they were always able to overcome them because they worked together.
Tougo then says, in short, if they all work together they can turn that possibility into a reality, with Teltina, Lowji, and Lanars all agreeing.
>>23772544Yihdra vehemently agrees, saying that they'll defeat the Demon Queen, save everyone including Stella and the children, and announce their engagement.
>>23748880And lastly, for the final page of the chapter, we have a callback to this one at the very start of the manga, except this time instead of "I will protect the bonds of this world", the line is "We will protect the bonds of this world".
>>23772544>>23772547Beautiful pages.

New chapter outRed is dead!?
>>23777958I truthfully was kind of expecting a development like this, though I didn't really want it to happen and it hurts to see. All we can do now is wait and see if Tougo did actually manage to survive somehow, like with the aid of Silver's ghost or something like that. Or perhaps Yihdra got enough time to use the ability copy machine to copy Reincarnation Banishment and will use it on herself to try and drag Tougo's soul back into her world.

>>23777973Does anyone actually believe this?
>>23778059Obvious fakeout. He'll either go back to his world or something else saved him
>>23778059Believe what, that Tougo's actually truly dead with a capital D? Not any more than I believed that Lowji was truly dead when he got half his torso blown off, no. I'm just theorizing how he'll be saved.>>23778068He'll either go back to his worldSince he'd have been killed by Max in this case he'd go through the rings of reincarnation normally and be reborn as a different person, so I don't think that option's very likely.
>>23778077Maybe this will tie in to Shau'ha
https://xcancel.com/nakayos_koyos/status/2032045184716780030#mNot really necessary to mention in this case, but the new raw chapter has officially dropped.
This post is not actually important spoiler related material, so please feel free to just ignore it or call me a faggot for being stupid. I just feel like ranting and raving about how the manga's been progressing recently and how it annoys and aggravates me. This month's chapter makes three or four months in a row now where the story has felt like basically nothing but doom, despair, and hopelessness, and I hate it and want it to stop. I get the intention behind it all, but I do not like it nor think that it's good; I'm not here for this kind of thing and am sincerely hoping we start getting some kind of genuine upswing in April's chapter, because I'm kind of sick and tired of this already.
>>23778145Red meets her and tells her Yihdra's idea and completes it. Full circle character development for her to complete something someone else started.
