Super Sentai 2012 Gobuster Photos preview

Information about the new Super Sentai for 2012 - the photos Gobusters now widely circulated. I repost some of them here. I still dislike the suit, it is too simple and too mature. It is less fantasy. The theme will be a spy team hunt for ghost, hence the similarity to "Ghostbuster".

Gobuster toy advertisement, graphic design, art design and poster.

Gokaiger Ep.28 Waruzu and Barizorg Requiem

Gokaiger now entering his storyline arc twister moments. In Episode 38, the leader of the Zangyack known as Waruzu Giru was killed by Gokaiger's newest mecha combo, Kanzen Gokai-Oh. Along with this episode is Barizorg storyline arc also come to end. Barizorg, a fearful yet faithful bodyguard to Waruzu killed in the fight with Joe. This ending however put official end to the Joe-Sid story arc, that Barizorg never resurrected as Sid ever again.

With the ending of Waruzu "era", now the Zangyack commander could be fall into Damarasu. We should expect to watch more fierce fight between Zangyack and Gokaiger. Can't wait for the last part of Gokaiger show, which haven't touch any details on Don's background.

The episode 38 also officially screened the newest Gavan incarnation. Gavan will play Gokaiger in early 2012, so much to be wait on this movie.

Appeared on Episode 11, Barizorg stated his loyalty right from beginning.

Which somehow annoyed Insaan in Episode 12.

Gokaiger vs Gavan 2012 and Gobuster confirmed

Not only Gokaiger will be a monumental canon for the whole Super Sentai tradition, but it will also touch the other genre, the Metal Hero canon. After rumour on internet, forums and blogs for several weeks, the movie Gokaiger vs Gavan is now confirmed! This epic crossover will premiere this January 21st. The Romaninzed title is 海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャーVSギャバン Kaizoku Sentai Gōkaijā tai Gyaban.

Good news for old Gavan fans but it will be interesting to see how it affect Super Sentai canon, since it will be also touch the part that Kenji Ohba (playing Gavan) was also Shiro Akebono aka Battle Kenya and Daigorou Oume aka DenziBlue! This not included his cameo on several modern series, notable in Gekiranger as Dan.

Crossovering between genre is not unusuall in stage show, here the cassette cover of Gavan vs Goggle V stageshow back in the 80s tv series!

2012 Super Sentai successor - Gobuster will make debut on this title as well!

Ohranger in Gokaiger Episode 31 .... and Tamao Sato

Ohranger is a series of super sentai of the year 1995. Many favorite this little known and least popular series.But reality was, this is the sentai that almost got the super sentai franchise cancelled. Gokaiger episode 31 again bring back the memory. And as many good scenario written on old series, the Ohranger tribute was good. So, here some of captured Ohranger Gokaiger tribute. Notice that the leader of Ohranger, now maybe the highest commander in U.A.O.H. (or... "Wow" in Gokaiger ep.31) Goro Hoshino. But interesting is Momo Maruo is now the Vice President, surely special relation to the leader. One more Ohranger member flash in Gokaiger ep.31 as the person who super sentai power got sucked by Bosco. for graphic design degree.

Great performance by Tamao Sato

Portraying Oh Pink Momo Maruo is Tamao Sato. Born in 1974, here some of her best photos from Google search.

2012 Super Sentai Tokumei Sentai Gobusters

After month of rumour that the new 2012 sentai will named Genki Sentai Baruganger and then rumour to be Hyaki Sentai Hidenjya (= Hundred Stranges Taskforce Mystery Ranger), we are now pretty much confirmed that the new sentai instead named Tokumei Sentai Gobusters (Special Mission Taskforce Gobusters)

The theme will be a ghost theme. Most probably speculated as three rangers starter, as the pattern that Toei always started it after the anniversary Gaoranger -> Hurricaneger and Boukenger -> Gekiranger. The ghost theme will be new motive, the closer I can commented is Magiranger and Maskman.

Let's wait in anxious!!

Super Sentai 200th member - AbarePink

Well, it is indeed Emiri Imanaka of Abaranger once transformed into Abarepink, although with that special pig mask (episode 11 of Abaranger).... Now the Gokaiger episode 29 put in more details into the obsession and, now, Emiri Sanjou (married to Yukito) give GokaiPink a AbarePink ranger key. Emiri was played by actress Michi Nishijima. Well, that's about Gokaiger episode 29 for Abaranger theme. A funny episode and also highlighted is Ahim cosplay into school teenage and nurse... hmm talk about obsession.

Now the next half show of Gokaiger will be interesting as always.

Forgotten Hero, Ninjaman

During the Legendary Great War, there are heroes that missed out to join the 199 Heroes gathered by Aka Red. Notably was Ninjaman ニンジャマン, the Partner of Justice in Kakuranger world. How is it Ninjaman who is a very quirky character not join to help the Earth and other allies to fight the invader? According to biography found on net,  "In the finale, after the Youkai are sealed away, Ninjaman is now with his masters and says goodbye to the Kakurangers." So he might be not around Earth or summonable during the battle time. Perhaps one of theories to explained this. In 199 all super sentai team up to battle Zangyack, included also Zuuban from Boukenger team, that many feel not actually a character, Zuuban was a sword tranforming to human sized character helping the Boukenger against villains. Which oftenly compared to the absence of Ninjaman.

Ninjaman :
He is the pupil of Sanshinshou, the three god generals. A thousand years ago, he was deceived by Daimaou to attack humans and he was imprisoned within a blue pot as punishment. The pot was hurled into space by Daimaou. The bottle returned once the war between the Youkai and the Kakuranger was at full swing. The Kakurangers found the bottle, and Tsuruhime was the only one able to remove the golden hammer from the bottle to break it open. As a ninja master, NinjaMan wields a katana, and has a wide array of ninja-magic skills, including enlargement to aid his mentors in their fights. He has the ability to ride on a cloud called the Kinto Cloud. Whenever a Youkai calls him "Blue Squirt" or insluted in such a manner, he gets angry and transforms into SamuraiMan , who connects his weapon with its sheath to form a powerful javelin. In this state, SamuraiMan creates explosive energy spheres formed from his rage in his ultimate attack, Samurai Rage Bomber. In the finale, after the Youkai were sealed away, Ninjaman was able to go away with his masters and bid goodbye to the Kakuranger. "Partner of Justice, NinjaMan!"  from Wikipedia and Supersentai.com database
