Man, how bad is the 30MF Kaito kit that not many people are even reviewing it? Schizophonic, an online blog site, is doing everything he can to outright forget he exists. Or the other Troopers for that matter.

This screencap encapsulates the slopification of the Samurai Troopers name quite well. "Hey man, turning characters into jokes and whoring out our name for a quick buck isn't wrong! Don't you understand our 40+ year old fans actually love that?" And Shion learns his lesson in the end: he will submit to the consoom

You can just produce all sorts of new armors in the same colors as the originals too and no one will bat an eye, while the armors favored by the goddess will get no further mention.
>>
>>23967269
There are mixed feelings from the old gen fujos. Some love it and want to support it anyway just for their favorite ojisan oshi, others are critical and either quit or are hatewatching. Jun being a fatty, Nasti being a government patsy, and Mirei being a fanservice girl that dies cheaply are some of the big offense points they talk of.

>>23968707
Not to that one guy who keeps asking who the new warriors of loyalty, piety, obedience & serenity will be. I'm sure the goddess appreciates the sentiment

Not a bad idea honestly. At least one character gets to hop off this trainwreck before it completely goes to shit.

I think the funniest thing to come out of this show is the insane levels of copium fans have come up with to justify the writing. "There's only 12/24 episodes" "We don't have much time" "At least we get to see the og guys" "Trust in Muto"

Can't wait for the finale to shit the bed and for them to come up with the excuse of "There's going to be more, just wait"

I don't know how to feel. Shion dying makes sense from a story standpoint, but feels unnecessary. It was a better end than Mirei, who's death didn't make sense for the story, was unnecessary and felt spiteful.

Well, certainly it was unexpected. I don't even get if Shion actually managed to weaken the magatama so Inmei can't control the Haohtei anymore.

>>23970187
The best and most interesting of the main 5. Well, Ryusei is now the best of the main 5 but I guess that tells more about the other 4. Kaito is such a non-character for example. After he let out all his angst and forgot that those guys >>23965908 are responsible for his grandmother being dead he's just Gai's cheerleader. But I guess if Kaito died, nobody would care.
>>
>>23970447
Not just Kaito, the other two Musashi and Yamato are also glorified cheerleaders. All three of them got over their angst and forgave way too quickly. Kaito with the braves and Yamato Musashi with that orphanage caretaker. In fact, even Shion forgave the braves really fast despite losing his old team to them.

So I heard this thing shit on the OG cast, and now it's shitting on its own cast? Is this from the Last Jedi school of sequel writing?

Right after Mirei died, they made it clear that Yamato just internalize his sadness and pretend everything is fine. This might blow up in a later fight. Maybe Shion's death might make them go back to realize their grief and reveal that Yamato feels guilty about Mirei.
By the way, without Shion and Mirei, who's going to help with the armors and upgrades?

Doubtful. At this point they're probably just gonna do more training or rely on the Haotei. The new armors likely won't receive any more upgrades. That's probably part of why they decided to kill Shion off.

Part of the reason the new series might not be getting a dub: Michael Donovan has been long dead for 4 months.

>>23974612
>Part of the reason the new series might not be getting a dub
Maybe instead of getting the old canadian VAs back, they should just redub the Yoroiden and carry that on on with Shin-den. That way we can have a dub that uses the biblically accurate names of the characters and locations and not that horrifically dated method of westernizing names just so that it can be palatable to people not familiar with jap shit.

>>23974612
That hasn't stopped Crunchyroll or anyone from dubbing something with new voice actors before, nostalgia be damned. It's more likely that no one sees the demand or need to dub it, or Sunrise hasn't licensed it out until it's finished.

>>23975036

How would they even dub the songs? Not to mention it would be a licensing nightmare.
>>
>>23975381
And they stopped singing in the second season. Even Sunrise has limits to getting song rights in japan
>>
>>23975381
If it's Viz, you can especially expect the lazy route with undubbed songs. Even more that they'd be licensed songs, so even the "in-character" singing would be left alone. But that's probably the biggest point against a dub, not that they couldn't wrangle the Ronin Warriors dub cast back for something.
>>
>>23975455
I can't help but think of that one episode of slayers were they start singing and then just ad lib DO IT IN JAPANESE!

What are the chances of this show having been originally written by someone else? Anon in the threads said something about osomatsu initially being conceived by some guy who quit soon after. What if this is a similar case? The writing is just all over the place it can't just be due to timing or budget constraints.

>>23975381
>>23975455
Nah, I prefer they keep the Japanese audio for the songs. If they make a sing-along addition in a box set, it would make them enjoyable, but only if there's enough brevity for the people who came for the Symphogear singing that happens in eleven of the first cour's twelve episodes. And for those wondering what episode lacked the singing, it's episode nine, when they raided the Youja Realm and put focus on Shion's past team.

Probably a more straightforward sequel with the original troopers more involved. Maybe even related to the current troopers. With how much they focused on the Shion Ryusei thing, they could've initially been the main characters for all we know. Then someone in the committee said "No those guys are too old. And we need the mc to be a red guy"

Shion.
>>
>>23981911
Kinda sucks since him and Ryusei are the most interesting of the new troopers but that's exactly why their deaths in both cours works. But we are stuck with those 3 cheerleaders and Gai for the rest of the show.
Also, couldn't Shion just ran away pretty far with the magatama while the other 4 deal with a hurt and nerfed Inmei?
>>
>>23982267
Do you think Muto is aiming to be the next Tomino but falling on his face?
>>
>>23982267
I wouldn't be surprised if those two were originally conceived as the protagonists but had to be relegated to supporting because they were too old.

>couldn't Shion just ran away pretty far
He was already fatally wounded by then. The better question is what even his plan was? Take the magatama and fill it with his trooper life force too.... save Ryusei?
>>
>>23982345
Could be that Ryusei could've even been the Rekka counterpart while Shion could've been his co-protag in whatever armor.
The original Samurai Troopers project had such a composition until the final stage of pitch, with two main boys and the other three joining them after the plot set-up, but they sort of brought it back with Ryo and Toma playing off each other in its second half while the rest were captured.
>>
>>23982353
>Ryusei could've even been the Rekka
This seems really plausible going by Ryo passing on his emblem to Ryusei (only for him to give to Gai). Now he has no emblem and has to steal another from Seiji LOL. The Ryusei Shion duo could've worked like Tiger and Bunny and probably would've been more interesting.

I doubt we will get much insight into the production issues of this show. But it's painfully obvious something went wrong somewhere and things turned out a mess in the end.
>>
>>23982369
Ryusei's hair isn't even green, and he's got red eyes going on so it does make you wonder if he just got replaced with the more marketable Gai.
>>
>>23982439
I think they're both pretty marketable. Ryusei is still popular among the main characters. He just didn't get as much screen time as Gai. If it was his show from the start I think even the oldies who don't like the sequel would like him, since he's similar to Ryo.

Wait... What if this is actually a PREQUEL to the original Samurai Troopers TV series... and that's why some stuff is different. The outcome of this story will wrap back around to the past and dictate character involvements.

That could... also lead into a REVISIONING of the original story, with a brand new cast of voice actors, etc.

I'm not entirely against that thought. It would be really intersting to see a revisioned/retelling of the original Yoroiden story, and if this series leads the way toward that... I think this could be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

How could it be a prequel when the official sources billed it as a true sequel? Unless you're talking about the reboot theory some other guy mentioned. That at the end of this cour, something (like Yatogojin or the Haoutei) causes the entire universe to crash and reset. If this means the show gets de canonized I wouldn't be against it.

>>23983267
They'll remain. They've pretty much become gag characters and nerfed heavily so they make perfect comic relief

>boys reborn into normie lives
Would that include even the old troopers?

We might get a scorched earth ending if Sunrise decides they don't want to continue any more. And that seems likely. It would also make room for a proper reboot (I'm sure they know the older characters are the main draw) if they ever want to revisit the idea.
>>
>>23983712
Maybe that's how Gai becomes Ryo's son if that's still in the cards, who knows. Real question is if Shion would be anywhere in a reset (but voiceless unless Kumagai's hiding something) or his great sacrifice includes being deleted from history for all time.

Looks weird without the emblem. Why did they have him give it to Gai when he was going to come back anyway?
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3ybf08eCZo
>>
>>23989416
Because red = fire. Fire must be in the lead because fire is revered as divine to the japs. And that is so because, according to shintoism, the royal family are the mortal descendants of Amatarasu, the goddess of the sun, which is the source of fire to them. That's why their flag is a red dot, and why they don't mind being called "the land of the rising sun". This is why in jap media you got main characters being associated in some way with fire, or why the lead in Sentai teams are always red. It's all linked back to Japan's reverence for fire because the royal family are demigods.
>>
>>23989610
Fire is pretty based admittedly
>>
>>23989610
Makes me wish all the more that Ryusei was red. And I thought the point of Ryo passing on the emblem to him in the first place was because one DIDN'T need to be red or an emissary of fire to be the leader? Shot themselves in the foot when it came to writing out interesting plotlines.
>>
>>23989433
Wait, she's back. And drunk. There's not a second of pointless deaths that I see in this show and I'm not reminded of what they did to Mirei.
So, next episode the rest of the braves will be killed by Ramaga to get the shield?
>>
>>23989769
That's just some AU and not in the actual plot.

>So, next episode the rest of the braves will be killed by Ramaga to get the shield?

Ramaga would be stupid to kill them since they just showed him they too can summon the armor. Like inferno, any five with the virtues is enough to summon it.
>>
So, a little trouble following.
The beast people... she seemed shocked when they showed up as kids.
And Ramaga seems really mad at her for some reason.
Then he abducts kids and get's ready to sacrifice them.

Were the beasts meant as sacrifices, but they took human form so sumire just couldn't bring herself to sacrifice them?
So Ramaga kidnaps kids with the plan to sacrifice them, but gets beaten, takes his plans to the other world, finds the kids there, raise them with plans to sacrifice them.

But WHY. And why did they suddenly start making so many of these divine child soldiers 15-25 years ago?
>>
>>23989901
>The beast people... she seemed shocked when they showed up as kids.
They weren't kids. They awakened as adults right off.
>And Ramaga seems really mad at her for some reason.
Because he wants power for himself. He was her first and greatest servant but got greedy and wanted more.Typical lucifer trope.
>Were the beasts meant as sacrifices, but they took human form so sumire just couldn't bring herself to sacrifice them?
They were never that at all. She created them to be her servants and enforcers.
>So Ramaga kidnaps kids with the plan to sacrifice them, but gets beaten, takes his plans to the other world, finds the kids there, raise them with plans to sacrifice them.
Yes. Ramaga was never about any kind of moral highground. He's not being a hypocrite like you're trying to paint him as because the moral dilemma you're describing was never once shown to have happened. You're either making shit up or you heavily misinterpreted what the new episode depicted.
>
But WHY.
Power.
>And why did they suddenly start making so many of these divine child soldiers 15-25 years ago?
They're not divine child soldiers. Just people with a connection to the divine world. And they haven't been suddenly being born within the last 15-25 years. They've always existed. Shuten Doji, Anubis, Naza and Rajura weren't just randoms that Arago picked to be the Demon Generals. They had the same connection and had the corresponding virtues as the armors that Kaos created for the Yoja World. Arago recruited them over 400 years ago during Japan's warring states period.
>>
>>23989918
What's annoying is that almost everyone is human no matter what connection they have to what world. Gai? Human. The ten braves? 5 of them were originally human. The beast warriors? Human. Sagume? Originally human. Wouldn't surprise me if Ramaga and the dragon were originally human too. Is this Muto's way to guarantee the viewers emphasize with these characters and not see them as damn dirty demons or aliens?
>>
>>23989925
>What's annoying is that almost everyone is human no matter what connection they have to what world
Where the fuck are you getting that from? Gai and the first name Braves are the only cases of this at all.
>The beast warriors? Human
They're obviously just straight up divine beings like Sagume. Shimei, Gomei and Inmei barely resemble humans but you cannot look at Gaimei and say he looks like a Human at all.
>Sagume? Originally human
Not once was this ever implied.
>Wouldn't surprise me if Ramaga and the dragon were originally human too.
Ramaga is a divine being like Sagume and the warrior beasts. They flat out state that Yagotojin is a god.
>Is this Muto's way to guarantee the viewers emphasize with these characters and not see them as damn dirty demons or aliens?
No. The whole point with Gai and the Braves being Human was so that Ramaga could have the Haotei because evidently Humans can summon it much like with what can be achieved with the Kikotei. And Human children are probably much easier to indoctrinate and manipulate than immortal divine beings are (provided any divine being apart from Yagotojin can). That's why it was the last name braves who were expendable. He needed Gai and the first names to be the ones to summon it, but he fucked up by not actually fostering their core virtues that would've enabled it to happen.
>>
>>23989918
That first point is why you get someone insisting the four must be Kayura, Naaza, Rajura, and Anubis transformed and reincarnated but that'd be some hacky way of including them.
>>
>>23989942
It definitively would be. But in all likelihood, the warrior beasts have probably existed much longer than the Demon Generals or even Arago and Kaos have. It'd be silly for Sagume to have suddenly just pooped them out at some point within the last 30 or so years as though she made them for what's now happening when she didn't even start to have a change of heart regarding mankind until after Ramaga betrayed her.
>>
>>23989941
>Where the fuck are you getting that from? Gai and the first name Braves are the only cases of this at all.
>They're obviously just straight up divine beings like Sagume. Shimei, Gomei and Inmei barely resemble humans but you cannot look at Gaimei and say he looks like a Human at all.
Are you retarded? Did you even watch the show or did you watch it while sleeping??? The LATEST episode, Inmei said Sagume used to be human. Ryusei during his initiation was told the beast warriors were humans.

Muto is the bigger retard. Why are the gods and demons supposedly be divine when they all turn out to be human in the first place? Is the Eastern pantheon one huge lie in the end?

So... what exactly happens if sasuke gets the powers from the other braves.
Supreme emperor? if Gai does it, two supreme emperors? If the OGs do it, three?
are we building up to fucking five supreme emperor armors that combine to make a super supreme emperor??

I guess courage=fire now? Not something to do with a seasons. Or another type of element?
>>
>>23995248
I think they're saying the element is unrelated to virtues. It makes sense, considering shion was cosmos and wore the air and the light armors. It's possible his virtue was always grace, he just didn't know it when he originally donned the air armor.

I suspect there are 10 virtues, but 5 elements, and the 4 season thing is something that's going to be revealed as tied to the 4 beast warriors.

I liked Musashi's development and the ambiguity around Sangume's motives.

Apart from that, the entire story feels circular, if that's the right term. Ramaga still being a thing feels like a mistake, especially with Inmei running around and being an opp.

Very likely. There may possibly be one after the show ends, but it probably won't even reach bump limit.

We actually did a Samurai Troopers thread between seasons. But that was only possible because /m/ is a slow board.

Strange that the Demon Generals are that much taller. I wouldn't think there's all that much difference in height between 14-15 year olds (Troopers) and 16-17 year olds (Masho). Yes, chronologically they're over 400, physically they're still kids because Yoja World bullshit stopped their aging.
>>
>>23997002
Aren't the masho actually 17-20? That's enough of an age difference compared to 14 year olds
>>
>>23997014
>Aren't the masho actually 17-20?
No. Shuten was the oldest of them and he was 17. The rest are 16. It's no exaggeration in that the whole of the original main cast (barring Arago and Kaos) really were all kids. Like, actual children.
>>
>>23997020
Rajura was the oldest at 20. Come on, this has been stated in the anniversary book and even the wikis. Are you the same guy who watched the sequel anime with his eyes closed and missed out Sagume having been human?
>>
>>23997037
>Rajura was the oldest at 20. Come on, this has been stated in the anniversary book and even the wikis
Then I either misremembered or the wiki bitch did edits.

Yes, I am that exact same faggot. I guess I just need to shut up and stop posting.

>Rajura: 19
>Anubis: 18
>Shuten, Naaza: 17 (Shuten is "youngest" but Naaza was born later, try to solve that now)
>>
>>23996996
That's what you'd think they'd do. But I get the feeling a certain goddess or her friends or secret opps have been trying to unsuccessfully steer threads in certain directions for a while now.

>>23997002
The demon general lore evolved over books, depending if you consult the Daijiten (not "Daiten", X) or Memorials.

Daijiten sez:
>1549: Rajura (real name unknown) was born in Musashi Province.
>1550: Anubis (real name unknown) was born in Mutsu Province.
>1551: Shuten Doji (real name unknown) was born in Yamashiro Province, Naaza (real name unknown) was born in Satsuma Province
>Note: The Four Demon Generals are younger than you might think. Samurai in the Sengoku period were considered full-fledged at the age of 15. Furthermore, 1 year in the youja world is equivalent to 100 years in the human world, so their actual ages are still around 17 to 18 years old. Among them, based on the order in which they were abducted, Shuten is the youngest.
Note: When Kayura was born, Kaosu was still a living human being.
>1559: Kayura was born in the Yamato Province.
>1563-5: Shuten Doji, Anubis, Rajura, and Naaza are abducted by Arago and become the Four Demon Generals.
The years of abduction and the time in youja vs. human world are important.
The order the four were taken isn't quite given other than Shuten being last, but if you compare those years vs. their birth years, Arago took them at 14 and then they only would be their late teens by the invasion.
>>
>>23997332
Adding that I guess if you follow real time for the show, Rajura would turn 20 later in '89.

Birthdays:
>Shuten: May 5, 1551 (Tenbun 20)
>Anubis: December 3, 1550 (Tenbun 19)
>Naaza: October 8, 1551 (Tenbun 20)
>Rajura: September 19, 1549 (Tenbun 18)

The second light novel was the first to give backstories, Memorials 2 was the first to give their names. Both of those have the idea that Anubis and Naaza were dying when Arago nabbed them, which some say the goddess takes to mean all four are the living dead in Buddhism now.
>>
>>23997332
>1 year in the youja world is equivalent to 100 years in the human world

Is this even canon any more? Even in the later books like the 30th Anniversary one, this isn't mentioned. What kind of information are we supposed to refer to now?
>>
>>23997339
Beats me. Guess it's whatever the book editors or Sunrise PR want it these days.
>>
>>23997341
And with the sequel it's whatever the fuck Muto wants it to be I guess
>>
>>23997342
And we got so little episodes left to explain what the hell is up, maybe he's gearing for some confusing infodump in the final episode or the trollish ending of all endings.
>>
>>23997358
I have a stupid thought Ramaga just up and killed the Dark Warlords and Kayura as soon as they stepped into the Yoja Realm for no reason other than because he needs their Virtues for his grand plan of acquiring the True Haoutei. If Muto does exactly that, then everyone will disown the show, including the VAs. Yes, even Ramaga's VA, who followed the original show.
>>
>>23997364
I think the VAs especially Ramaga's would know what the ending is like. And if you're talking about the warlord's and Kayura's virtues, he already killed the first Namers for those exact same virtues. So I don't think the warlord are a factor in his plans
>>
>>23997364
I mean that's what I was wondering Muto could probably do to explain away their absence, as a quick throwaway thing without them having to be voiced.
>We see flashback of Ramaga evilly laughing
>Shocked :o reaction faces of Warlords and Kayura, too stunned to even attack

The way Ramaga just casually one shots every single character except Gai and Ryo. The braves get off screened so often you wonder why there even has to be ten of them in the first place.
>>
>>23997461
They claimed they wanted more villains than the Demon Generals, but what's the idea when so many are cannon fodder.
>>
>>23997487
The stopped being villains too. Only Ramaga and Inmei are acting like villains. The braves get forgiven and become buddy buddy with the troopers and the other beast warriors are just Sagume's pawns. Even Sagume isn't treated as evil but someone who's doing what she must.
>>
>>23997404
What if Yatogojin ate the warlords because he was hungry
>>
>>23997549
That would imply he hadn't been the way he has been for the last few thousand years.
>>
Are we going to see complete form Yatogojin by the end? There's some who think he is actually Gai. Either him or Ryusei
>>
Streets say we get 20-year old Nasti fanservice in the latest magazine, probably to try attract more /m/en.
>>
>>23998082
>Are we going to see complete form Yatogojin by the end?
I think it's a safe bet. It seems pretty clear it's going to be the big boss-fight.
>There's some who think he is actually Gai. Either him or Ryusei
I don't think it's either. It looks to me that the Warrior Beasts are probably it's mind/soul divided into four beings. The gods couldn't actually erase his mind so they just removed it and split it into lesser beings.
>>
>>23998985

Would be hilarious if yato turned out to be a completely separate being from them and Inmei was just a greedy bastard who wants to be like him. If it ends on a cliffhanger, maybe they'll tease a movie as a continuation.

Very good questions to wonder.

You also have to wonder if English fans will ever call her "Nasty" on wikis and not "Nasutei", "Nasute", or what. It's a weird name and not very nice, but that's what was intended.
>>
>>23998985
>It looks to me that the Warrior Beasts are probably it's mind/soul divided into four beings.
So just Arago but dragon. That would mean his body is made up of the 4 beast warriors while his armor needs to be called upon by the 3 treasures + 5 virtues.

If you're using the traditional age counting system in being counted 1 at birth, they're 15 when taken and 100 years= 1 year rule would math out to them being around 19 or so collectively. The estimated ages in 30th anniversary or by fans used their birth years to put them in age order.

Thanks to some machine mistranslations of older books, the translator put Shuten Doji and Naaza as 20 and the other two as 19 and 18 which had other fans asking how Shuten could be youngest.

Praise be to the Armor Den Samurite Looper Ronin Warriors Wikia and the knowledge it bestows upon us about our hero Sanada Liao and his comrades. There is no one other than the original that could make the Armor legend and its warriors of chains shine so brightly, the sequel could never compare unless it respects the tenets of esoteric Buddhism that even the Japanese have long forgotten and praise me for knowing.
>>
That weird opening, could it actually be how the show ends? Everyone dies and goes to some afterlife place, or only Gai is left alone and recreates everyone in the virtual training space. If this does happen, I'm sure some people would call it genius foreshadowing even though it wouldn't be. It would just be edgy for the sake of it and sacrificing a story that makes sense for shock value.

Maybe Gai absorbs everyone's souls so they will all literally live on in his memories, and he will appreciate their sacrifices. So deep, much tears.

Crack awful ending idea that hopefully doesn't happen but who knows:
>Everyone die/sacrifice themselves to give Gai power to be the powerful one to defeat the big bad
>Gai goes Madoka and sacrifices himself to reset the world to save everyone
>Other troopers go on their field trip but feel lonely and sad like someone is missing
>Plot twist, Gai was rewarded with reincarnation as he was given the choice to either ascend to divinity or be human
>He is baby born to Ryo and Kaede, or left as immaculate maple leaf hair baby for Ryo to raise
>Now Gai has good daddy and will be raised right, some day maybe he will meet the others again but will he remember them
>>
>>24000196
If anything, Muto will just pull a Build ending with some tweaks. Now I don't mind a reset where the events of this show never happened and we can effectively ignore it. In 6-10 years they can do a remake with a better writer.
