Ooh! Natsuki seems to notice that the Libertus wasn't trying to keep them in, but was trying to protect them from something instead. I wonder what Guyot wants with the Segawa siblings?

Sorry, I mistakenly posted in the wrong forum ; But yeah, sounds good.

I'm afraid I'll have to pass on that logo thingy. As they say, too many cooks spoil the broth. I think I'm fine by criticizing your works. Sentai is known for their colorful uniform, and the most prominent color is red. Perhaps a logo that has five circle or objects with different colors depicting the individual colors of the prominent members? Like red, blue, green, yellow and I don't know, black or white.

Well, the strawhats are obliterating the fishman army without effort. If the odds are 100,000 vs 10, you'd expect that it would be a piece of cake for them to finish them off. But if it was like 10 vs 10, then you'd expect that they would have a hard time with their opponent. Unless of course that Hody is super strong that all his men are weak and all the strawhats need to work together to finish him off. I don't see the generals of Hody being that strong. Because aside from Hody, they still need to deal with Vander Decken, and that slimy pirate guy they kept in a barrel.

Since the strawhats just gathered together, we still haven't seen their full power yet. And judging the way the strawhats are man handling Hody's men, I think that they won't need to use their final trump card. But thinking further, Hody did face off against zorro and Zorro lost. I don't know if it's because of skill difference of due to the fact that Zorro had run out of air. But I'm hoping that the next chapter they would show how Hody fights. In all the chapters, we still haven't seen how Hody really fights. Also, I'm thinking that since Luffy has mastered his hakki, do you think sea water would still be his weakness? We know for a fact that sea water negates devil fruit power, but hakki can also do the same. By the way, where's brook?

Ok then. I've already overhauled the gekiranger wiki placing the outline I just posted over to the wiki. Hopefully I retain enough enthusiasm to finish this through. On a quick glance, it seems that Gekiranger didn't quite do well compared to the other previous super sentai shows. Gekiranger is the only show that did not break the 10 billion yen barrier with only 7.7 million yen in merchandise sales. Could this be the "hibiki" of of the Super Sentai?

So has Naruto finally joined the main battle? That small ball certainly looks extremely like the Rasengan.

Hahaha! I can easily say that Franky is now a Super Robot! It's cool how Sanji and Zorro coordinates their attack allowing Luffy free passage to Hody. Their reverence to Luffy is really humbling given that they have tremendously improved. Also, even though Jimbei mentions how weak Hody's fishman karate is, this may be true in normal circumstances. But Hody is a junky, so his weak fishman karate is enhanced that might be able to surpass Jimbei's. I don't think that the strawhats will have a hard time against Hody and his pirates given that this is only their first rumble together. I'd expect that they would struggle in the following arcs when they encounter the stronger shichibukai, as well as payback for the traitorous Teach.

I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about and I have absolutely no idea where this discussion is going. Just to be clear, is this a review or a history documentary? If this is going to be a history documentary, then don't we need an outline for this as a basis for the script? So far, these are what was established during the discussions: Project will feature Gekiranger Group name will be called Toku's Legend Short history of Super Sentai in general will be included as an introduction Script writer, video provider/editor, narrator and researcher has been established. This project will tie into PTW. Once production begins, wiki of Gekiranger will be started. (actually already started with my previous post, just not on the wiki proper page) All else is still unclear. Please do correct me if I misunderstand anything.

Oh, by the way, Marvel was not only involved in Spiderman sentai, but they also collaborated with Toei in Battle Fever J, Denjiman, and Sun Vulcan. A deal marvel made which allowed them the rights to publish Danguard Ace and Combatller V in comics. Oh, now I understand why Marvel has those giant robots comic decades back. You learn something new everyday. And since the first wave will feature gekiranger, here is an outline lifted from the japanese wiki. Do note that I have never seen Gekiranger so some verification may be needed for the terms: Similar to the other super sentai series, the program is a group hero with each individual wearing different colored suits fighting against and evil organization. The series' basic episode format follows the appearance of a new monster after one or two chapters, the hero defeats it and the enlarged monster fights with a giant robot. It is the 11th timeslot being broadcasted every Sunday, and the motif is put on as Chinese Martial Arts and animals. The theme is a fictitious aerial kempo called [Juuken (beast fist)], and breaking away from the past features 2 rival schools, depicting the growth of the fist warriors of both schools. The enemy side is given equal weight as that of the sentai side, with the work aiming to have roman styled drama of story development. At the start the sentai is comprised of 3 members, and additional members are added in the middle of the series completing the 5 man sentai. The sentai members are from the School of Justice [Fierce Beast Fist Beast Arts (Gekijuuken Bisuto Atsu)] belonging to the sports maker [scratch], while the enemy side is the evil school [Front Beast Fist Akugada (Rinjuuken Akugada)] controlled by the evil organization [Rinjuden]. The story is about the Gekirangers, trying to return the beast fist to one school. Concerning the main cast of the 5 man sentai as well as the 3 man enemy, an annual audition for young actors is held to select the 8 characters. Having a story development that has the feel of [Destiny of the past], this is the first time that they did not adopt the tracksuits belt sentai suit, with Kung Fu influences appearaing every where, with the action scenes using real battles, and giant battles being mainly depicted using melee battle. also during the Giant battles, the appearing cast uses real conditions of professional wrestling like hook-up to produce the scenes. The main force of the toy development was the animal motif which imitates the form of the beasts, using design from sports equipment. Different from the recent succeeding new forms due to combinations of different units, with the 3 combining units as the basic unit, additional parts make up the 4th unit selecting replacements for [converting parts type] to do battle. With many young person under the production of chief producer Tsukada Hideaki, he uses the concept of [a Shonen Manga of a Kung Fu Movie], even though they are using various experiments, ratings as well as sales were not as good, especially for Bandai's toy sales which were declining compared to recent years.

I just can't help but think Robin Scherbatsky every time I look at Colbie Smudgers. I think it's too much How I met your mother for me. But cool. I hope we get to feast our eyes on some more eye candy soon. Though I have a feeling that the cast are deliberately leaking false information to protect the story of the Avengers.

"Toku Legends.... This is Legendary!" -has a nice to ring it right? I have absolutely no taste in music so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. I think the OP song should be anything upbeat. Jam Project is a good choice. Maybe you guys can also look into Giuseppe Tartini's Violin Sonata in G minor or more popularly know as The Devils Thrill. As for the ED song, I think we can use something classical, like Chopin's Nocturne in C sharp Minor or anything slow or mellow. Something like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata,This is in contrast to the Opening's upbeat song. Or even the song which is played in Castlevania SOTN, the BGM while you are in the Library. Forgot the name of the song. As a far fetch idea, maybe someone who is very familiar with musical instruments can play Sentai OP of Gekiranger or the featured sentai using customized arrangement. At least this will have a right feel and perfectly fits our intention of featuring Gekiranger. No sense in overshadowing the featured series by having an OP song from another genre that would blow you away. Maybe we can search youtube for cover songs. I can play this with my piano, but unfortunately my piano is out of tune.

Here are some more variations on the name that I kept playing with: Histoku Legends - Amalgamation of History and Toku. It can also be read as 'His' Toku. Toku Legendary - Since the word legend itself signifies history. Also a short history you guys might want to consider to include: Super Sentai is indeed about a group with a giant Robot. Previously, [battle Fiver J] was counted as the first Super Sentai, but in the 10th anniversary of the series, [Goranger] and [Jak Q] was also included, officially making Goranger as the first Super Sentai.. In 1975, Ishinomori Shoutarou authored Goranger with a total of 84 episodes. In 1977, Jak Q was aired following Goranger. Due to low ratings, was discontinued. In 1978, the series had a hiatus. during this time, the same staff created a series that is not a sentai, which was Spiderman, with the robot toy Leopoldon gaining success in toy sales. in 1979 the following year, Battle Fiver J was aired, and hereafter a 1 series per year was observed. In 1981, Sunbalkan aired. It was during this time that the word "Sentai" was used. In the early years, children are already familiar with Kamen Rider. They wanted to create a new series that would feature [5 kamen riders appearing together]. But the idea was not initially realized. During the net change in programming in 1975, when the station was changed from NET Television to TBS, they needed a new series. The idea of the 5 kamen rider was revived, a program that features a team with 5 heroes resulted in Goranger. Aside from the influence of the Kabuki play Shiranami Gonin Otoko which depicts 5 heroes, producers at Toei sees [3 as too little, 4 as a bad omen and 7 as too many]. They suited the actors in colorful suits and became popular with children, thus creating a new genre of [Group Hero]. Goranger was broadcast for 2 years and was a hit. However, the following series [Jak Q] was a failure and was dropped after 9 months. In 1978, Toei collaborated with the Marvel Comics Group to produce [spiderman]. The idea of a life-sized hero controlling a giant robot was popular, and resulted in the giant robot's [Leopoldon] toy industry to flourish. As a result, [battle Fiver J] which inherits the formula of [Group Hero] + [Giant Robot] was born. This production was another hit, and since then, the production has been continues without any suspension, using the pace of 1 series a year.

I don't know. Since the gauntlet was shown prior to the Thor movie, I think they intended it to be used in the Thor Movie. This could be one of the treasures in Odin's treasure room, or an easter egg in the Thor Movie. Perhaps it is a ploy from Marvel to mislead the fans from the true story of the Avengers movie. We have nine more months to speculate before we actually find out. Besides, the Gauntlet looks more Asgardian than cosmic. And even if the Infinity Gauntlet were true with Thanos in it, I definitely hope that they will depict the scene were Cap was the last man standing facing off against Thanos. All we've ever seen of the Avengers movie are short clips and action scenes. So we still have no idea what the movie will be about.

Wheres the footage? Didn't anyone have a camera to get a shot at the footage?

Historical Legend! Nuff said.

I think it would still work if they include Pym, but not as his super hero alter ego. Pym was better known for his scientific achievements than his heroic exploits. So the skrulls angle seems to be true. I just wonder who's going to wield the infinity gauntlet. Most likely Loki, and probably less powerful than its comics counterpart.

WHAT!?!?!?! CAP GOT SHOT!!! That's heresy! How in the world would the world's greatest fighter get shot point blank during a fist fight? Also, both of them looks a lot thinner than they did in their respective movies.

Avengers? Can't wait! Though I've heard rumors that there would be skrulls in it. I can't dispel this rumor because I saw marvel showcasing the Infinity Gauntlet in their road show. So the Avengers movie is going cosmic? I wonder how they're gonna pull that off?

Oh, and here's a tiny tidbit for my first contribution to the research. Goranger was the first Sentai group that composed of 5 individuals battling villains. Spiderman was the first hero to ever control a giant robot. They combined the concepts of the two to create Denjiman, which is the first incarnation of the current giant robot sentai trend.

Question, how will the history of sentai be presented if the focus will only be on one single title? I'm sure there would be a lot of details missed out. If you guys like, I could first put here the history of the sentai as listed in the japanese wiki.

So is Ichigo the uber shinigami now, with all that power flowing into him? Hard to believe that some of them actually agreed to come to Ichigo's aid. Then again, Ichigo beat the crap out of everyone of them. Well, almost all of them. I still fail to understand how you would come to respect a person who beat the crap out of you. Then again, after Ichigo beat his current enemy, will he still be able to regain what was lost to him? If he will, then won't this make him the uber, uber shinigami? Or will he be able to return those that he borrowed? In case you were wondering what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the latest chapter of the manga. I wrote this in as much as a vague manner that won't need any spoiler tags, but still be understood by updated readers.

Read the latest chapter and it feels good to finally have another ace together with the good guys. You'd think that all this time, he was going easy on everyone he was facing in the past.

Wow, nice show for the strawhats easily dealing with the cannon fodders. But I hope we get some real action next chapter. It's no fun seeing how easily the strawhats can overwhelm their opponents. LOL at Sanji. He's afraid of gay men that much.

I have limited knowledge of Sentai as well as seen only a limited amount of series in the super sentai franchise, but if you guys need a researcher, my door is always open. The Japanese wiki alone would be a huge resource for this. And what do you know, Ishinomori Shoutarou, aside from being the original creator of Kamen Rider, was also the originator of the Sentai franchise with his first sentai Goranger.
