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.
Is this a Toku show?
>>23966023No lol. But it's written by a former toku writer (and not a good one)
When do you think we'll see Isa out of his suit as a dramatic reveal, besides the shower scene?
>>23966074We already did. During the flashback scenes.
Question, is this show actually doing well with fujos? How many of them were brought over from Osomatsu?
>>23967269How would you even find data on that? Other than fanart count on Pixiv.
>>23967386I mean, are we seeing them talk about the shipping, buying the toys or whatever is for sale, posting fan art, or interacting with the Samurai Trooper twitter?
>>23967392Who the fuck is we?
>>23967396Normal people. Fujos WILL make themselves known if the show is popular enough with them.
>>23966025>(and not a good one)I thought Build was considered one of the best KR shows?
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
>>23967402I don't use Shitter. Or BlueSky. Or Instagram. Or whatever social media flavour of the month. Perhaps you should go and check out yourself.
>>23968558Now why did you think I was asking you specifically? Someone's got something to hide KEK
>>23967843You 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.
>>23967269There 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.
>>23968707Not 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
The punishment for hating the new Troopers is killing them off. Shion is dead.

>>23969182Not 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"
https://nyaa.si/view/2141848How was the episode?
>>23969287Oh. So that's what this was huh.
>>23969287I 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.
>>23969287>The director and the screenwriter, looking at this hellish screaming TL, you probably feel like you can enjoy a fine drink with that, and I figured as much.>I thought the same during episode 5 and episode 10 as well. You might think it's unexpected, but to put it bluntly, I find it in bad taste and outdated. The creator is like a god, but there are evil gods too, and it's not like we have to worship them no matter what...The Japs aren't too amused
Trainwreck status?
>>23969287Well, 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.Honestly, one of the best episodes even if it ends in a downer. But like the other anon said, >>23969673 Mirei deserved a lot better than just to be shown today in flashback in her monster form. Among everything.Well, at least Nasti and the OGs are coming back the next episode, I guess.
>>23969725Wasn't on the rails in the first place
>>23969677https://x.com/i/status/2084649855016968347Here's another complaint.
>>23969287Welp, time to redo this again.
>>23970058Forgot to quote >>23944195
>>23970019>Well, at least Nasti and the OGs are coming back the next episode, I guess.They'll probably be shown for just a minute. The way so many people keep watching only so they can get a glimpse of them is pretty funny
>>23970060So does Ryusei have to get another crest from Seiji? He already gave his to Gai
>>23970048That's about Ep 16.
Describe this character.
>>23970187Dead
What if Shion turns into a dragon
>>23970187The 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.
>>23970447Not 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?
Which tiger man had the ugliest transformation?
https://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp/work/news.php?id=24004Samurai Troopers setting materials collection book.
>>23970609>So I heard this thing shit on the OG castYou heard wrong. Most of the OG cast doesn't have much of a presence in the show.>and now it's shitting on its own cast?Barely.
>>23965908Pretty Gay
>Tfw your friends leave you to bleed to death
>>23970447I wonder if now we've dealt with some things with Gai and Ryusei/Shion that if we get the minimal attention paid to Kaito, Musashi, and Yamato's angst from the OP going forward.
>>23970861We still got some episodes to see whether or not Muto spites the old fujos by killing the old-timers or damning Ryo to being Narumi-san's boy toy.
>>23971482I don't think so. They've largely gotten over it. Kaito had his angst episode back in season 1 and the orphanage caretaker is all good with Musashi and Yamato now.
>>23971484>killing the old-timersNever going to happen in a million years. I'm quite sure he was told by Sunrise higher ups that that idea is off the table.
>>23971060Well, it's not like anyone could do anything about Shion. he had a huge hole on his chest.
>>23971583Add Shion to the long list of anime characters who died by donut
https://twitter.com/samuraitroo_pr/status/2084943576220438953The trooper seiyuus.
>>23971535There's still the suggestion that Yamato's chasing the grief over Mirei there, but so far they've barely mentioned her except to say yeah she dead
>>23970746Really digging that we have garurumon at home one
Fuglies.
>>23972526And dummies
>>23972526So, they know Inmei betrayed them by using his magic on the gorilla guy. So what's going to happen next?
>>23971482>>23972205Right 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?
https://twitter.com/samuraitroo_pr/status/2085306291334123788
>>23972778>Shione>her life
>>23972777Guess that's what we might need the ojisan troopers for.
>>23972818If Shion were a black woman
>>23972777Which means we'll be getting more flashback exclusive interactions. Goddammit
>>23972886Shion gets to be the new misgendered-by-machine translation target, letting Shin and his seiyu off the hook for a moment.
WHO THE HELL IS THAT
>>23972876>Guess that's what we might need the ojisan troopers for.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.
>>23973038John Job, most important unimportant member of the DST.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zs_io68avM
>>23973040>That's probably part of why they decided to kill Shion off.I wonder if they thought Ryusei was more popular than Shion halfway through so they offed him to get Ryusei back as green.
>>23973217I feel like Muto and Fujita would've already had a lot of the story locked in. Muto seems to love his TWEESTS.
>>23973217>>23973232It would be funny if they didn't change the OP and ED and just reversed back again to their 1st versions with Ryusei there.But I guess they will only change the ED this time.
>>23973232This 'twist' genuinely made the Japanese mad though. I don't even think they were this upset with the Ryo as Ramaga reveal
>>23973584The next DST suggestion box will probably be stuffed full of digital razors for such hacky gimmicks.
>>23973591I don't know if Shion's death will be permanent but if they bring him back, the writer will prove himself to be one big hack. It's quite literally 'and then stuff just happens' the show. There's literally no point to anything
>>23973623they'll bring him back just to twist the knife about that the girl is still dead
>>23973657The Zabiru gets adopted and named "Mirei" in her honor and furry fans make doujin about it being her reincarnation or Yamato being delusional that way.
>>23973663Beastiality time
No thread on /a/ about the latest episode? It's really dead then?
>>23974109They stopped making new threads on /a/ ever since Mirei died. It's been dead for so long.
>>23974139Frankly I don't even get why you retards keep trying to force threads.
>>23973623Except making sure only Mirei and Granny stay dead, I guess.But yeah, I don't see Shion coming back. Ryusei was already a lot of bullshit.
So far the reactions to the deaths in this show across the web are->Grandma: Meh, plot related. Not an important character>Ryusei: Sad, but hardly knew him. Oh wait, he's alive ok nevermind>Orphanage director: Plot related again. And he was an asshole even though he was possessed >Mirei: Unnecessary killing of the only cute girl. People want her back but not the biggest loss>Gai: If you didn't think he was coming back, you might be retarded. >Shion: Fucking what. Probably not coming back but died in a cheap way. Jap fans threaten to quit if he doesn't come back.
>>23974145Jenny, shouldn't you be busy ERPing Maetel and Tetsuro instead of trolling in shows where you don't even go?but yeah threads need to be allowed to be organic.
>>23973696Yamato already is the gorilla so it's just The Bad Touch in action.
Part of the reason the new series might not be getting a dub: Michael Donovan has been long dead for 4 months.https://x.com/i/status/2085764742027567279At this point, it might be hard to find veteran VAs to fill in three empty spots, four if either of Shu's English VAs can't return. But I don't think an English dub is fully necessary.
>>23974311I don't know who or what you're talking about but I pity you.
>>23974612>Part of the reason the new series might not be getting a dubMaybe 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.
https://twitter.com/samuraitroo_pr/status/2085742766575821052What's your message to Gai on his birthday?
>>23974954I'd sooner celebrate Shuten's given he and Gai supposedly have the same birthday.
>>23974970They don't have the same birthday any more. Gai's is different from the leaks now. I'm wondering if they'll cut out his supposed Sanada last name too. I remember in the leaks, the sheets mentioned "given Sanada name, but has now been removed"
>>23974612That 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.>>23975036Maybe Ryo isn't adopting him anymore then.
>>23975102How would they even dub the songs? Not to mention it would be a licensing nightmare.
>>23975381And they stopped singing in the second season. Even Sunrise has limits to getting song rights in japan
>>23975381If 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.
>>23975455I 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.
https://youtube.com/shorts/ACZOUmqiVzc?si=2AwQwi1KDB6iKSo4I'm just crying after seeing Ryusei using his special move.>>23975381>>23975455Nah, 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.
>>23976855>sing-along additionThis ain't no kpop demon hunters
Looks like an unstoppable force has met an immovable object. The goddess might venture outside of her pantheon now.
>>23965978It's really expensive relative to other kits in that line, it's probably a hard sell to people just interested in it as a kit and not in it for the character.
https://twitter.com/samuraitroo_pr/status/2086754429148053870
>>23978158Gotta wonder why it's that expensive. Can't be the complexity of the armors can it?
>>23975381>How would they even dub the songs? Not to mention it would be a licensing nightmare.Just throw in public domain shit. Like not even use any music. Just the cast singing shit that nobody owns that they can't get in trouble for.
>>23978939They could go full on Ghost Stories. Sing whatever shit they think sounds good.

>>23979497They didn't even do anything
What is even going on in this show? Plotlines are introduced then dropped almost immediately.
>>>/a/290076030>last episode just barely above bottom 5 for the weekYikes
>>23979556Uhhh at least it's higher than Mebius Dust? (insert Shrek ta da meme)
>Original Ranger dies, passes his powers down to a successor>Original Ranger then comes back to life>Successor dies, passes his powers down to the Original RangerHas Super Sentai ever done this?
https://nyaa.si/view/2144884How was this week's episode?
>>23979586Not Sentai, but Lost Galaxy kinda did that. Kendrix died and Astronema, a reformed antagonist of the previous season, assumed as the new pink. But when Kendrix came back to life due total deus ex machina, they didn't kill Astronema/Karone. Just returned her morpher to Kendrix appearing in the following season.Karone assuming as the new Lost Galaxy Pinkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9dAy0lHUcwKendrix back in the following crossover special with Lightspeed Rescuehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KphDn5yjS7QKarone somehow came back as Lost Galaxy Pink in Super Megaforcehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVtkYO-q-b8
>>23976307Another anon popping in to say it's possible.Even the original YST was kind of a case of that.>October 1987 to January 1988 pitches were by one guy>Takara kept having objections to different elements>Sunrise planning head's wife had to do a last minute revised proposal in hopes they could salvage the project, she succeeded>They kept the original planning writer as the show's head writer at least but he had nothing to do with the OAVs or beyond
>>23979622Wasn't Karone originally going to be a Lost Galaxy Purple but they didn't have budget for another color and new footage?
>>23979498Didn't they?
>>23979498Muto needs more bodies for the meat grinder
>>23979629If it's true with this show, then the bad results are much more apparent this time round. Even if you put aside the sequel aspect and ignore the old show, this show still kinda sucks. And what alright characters they do have are either dumbed down or killed off.
>>23979655Considering Sunrise seemed to be trying to get something together for a 30th anniversary project and this anime was in planning for 5 years or so, you'd wonder what people the production committee could've seen pitches from that they rejected before Muto sold them on whatever.
>>23979657Probably 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"
>>23979632Yeah, I remember an interview about that. They managed to make an original "Power Ranger"-exclusive ranger in Lightspeed Rescue with the Titanium Ranger and just killed Kendrix for the most part of Lost Galaxy.
>>23979497>>23979498At this point, I would be fine with one of the Celestials trying to invade the Earth and the 4 old guys manage to defeat them.inb4 the other 5 former demons take the spotlight defeating the Celestial instead of the OGs
>>23979713imagine they give the demon generals virtues' to them,further making those wondering their existence tear their hair. I guess a fifth virtue could be Courage like what they say would've powered a tenth armor, or they could give Isa "Love" like how Kayura got in the manga to further his implied manliness issues.
People pining for the Warlords to reappear or transfer their virtues is getting SUPER old. This story isn't about them... Why insert something into a narrative that has no purpose in reaching the final outcome? It makes no sense. I get that you liked those characters-- I did, too... but there's a time and place for everything, and this IS NOT IT for them. Get over it. AHHHH!!
>>23979731>manliness issuesIs this Talisman inserting their weird hc about Isa based literally nothing? Can you discord people be a bit more subtle when coming on here?
>>23979802The show literally had the og team say right to the audience faces that they aren't the stars of the show any more. The new troopers are. And people still cling onto this weird hope of seeing the old characters do more than they already have
>>23979967Who?>>23979970Fujoshi too strong.
>>23980029One of the goddesses' ass kissers. Or former ass kissers. Also two faced since they talk shit about the goddess while at the same time being part of her in group harassing other people. Known to treat Muto like a god who can do no wrong and refuses any critique of this show.
>>23980045Aw shit man, can we have one corner of the internet that's non-denominational and not devoted to some goddess? Let's fix that and change subject or what.
>>23979620Why Inmei isn't in the celestial jail. They all know he's a traitor and they still let him be around?
>>23980051Because his co workers and boss are retarded.
>>23980047Then those people should stop coming here. But they wont. Because they refuse to fix a specific problem they caused themselves.
