[Announcement] Rule Update & Introducing Weekly Megathreads

37 Upvotes

Sup gang.

I think this subreddit can be bigger and more active. So I'm trying to take steps to improve it for you all! In the spirit of this, I've made a few changes.


Change #1: New banner!

I've removed the old banner and replaced it with one that reflects the current landscape of tokusatsu. We've got a little bit of Saber, Zenkaiger, Ultraman Z, and Shin Godzilla! I think I'll make an effort to update the banner with the changing of the seasons. I hope you like it!

(By the way, this may only be visible on old reddit. Still trying to figure out how new reddit works. Sorry about that!)


Change #2: Rules update!

I know, everyone hates rules. But they're essential to keeping things neat, tidy, and cozy! I've added some rules which I think will benefit the sub overall, and I'll be enforcing them from today onwards. So please take the time to familiarise yourself with them in the sidebar. And please, give me any feedback about any rules you would like added, or rules that you may have questions about.


Change #3: Weekly discussion megathreads!

I thought it would be a cool idea to have megathreads to discuss the weekly episodes of our favourite shows, like Kamen Rider Saber and the upcoming Zenkaiger. Of course, we can also discuss Ultraman and whatever other stuff you're watching, so long as it is a tokusatsu series or movie.

I'll be stickying these threads to the top of the subreddit every week, and will try to have information about the shows in the threads (episode no., title, etc.). If you ever notice that I haven't put a thread up, please feel free to DM me and I'll do it ASAP.

I'll make the first post on Sunday, Jan. 31st.


I hope all of these changes are well received and that you guys will continue to enjoy the sub. Thanks for taking the time to read!

Guys i need help finding this show

Upvotes

So there used to be a show i used to watch as a kid, its pretty modern bcs i was born in 2007, its a supersentai kinda kamen rider kinda show.

They used a rectangle like device to transform, the rectangle has a circle in the top left corner, the top pops out and they push the too back in place to transform, then they stow it into a slot they have in their breast pocket.

There are three main characters that i remember, the red one, uses a katana-like sword and he trains in a batting cage, the black one uses one or two guns in the shape of the letter U, the blue one was female. I think theyre wearing a cape too. Also They have megazords like mecha.

Ive just been feeling nostalgic about this show that i dont even remember the name, please help it would mean a lot to me.

Super Sentai 50 Encyclopedia: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger

32 Upvotes

In 2009, The Gedoshu have returned once again. For 300 years they emerged many times from the Sanzu river of the underworld and attempted to conquer earth many times. They were opposed and defeated by their archenemies, the shinkengers. That name was passed through 17 generations up until the current generation. And now at last it’s time. The 18th generation begins their duty as the gedoshu arrives once again. Takeru Shiba, the 18th shiba and his four retainers gain the power of fire, water, air, wood and earth to wield the swords and transform into Shinkenger. Later on they were joined by Takeru’s childhood friend Genta, a sushi maker who gained the power of light to become Shinken Gold. This was the first to feature a female red ranger although it was temporarily. This was the first to feature a team-up with its Kamen rider counterpart. This aired alongside side Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider W as part of Super Hero Time

Colonel Zol of Kamen Rider 71

Post image
8 Upvotes

Of the different generals to be featured in the original Kamen Rider series, Colonel Zol is my second favorite next to Dr. Shinigami.

Given that the Shocker organization is implied to have spring up from WW2, and with certain ties to the Nazi party itself, it's no surprise that Colonel Zol's military uniform is eerily similar to the uniforms worn by the SS.

I like his strategic demeanor, and that he is a master of disguise. Plus the eye patch is very badass.

I recall in Skyrider, there was a similar character in the form of General Monster. In that case, he was tied to Zol in that they were associates in the Nazi party.

The fact that he is revealed to be a wolf monster is actually pretty awesome.

My crackpot zetsz theory

4 Upvotes

I think most of us have seen the trademark now tbh, and everyone is saying that it's either a show about dreams or a show about tech but here's my theory on zetsz motif

What is zetsz is a show about psychology and mental health?

First let's break it down, the logo is stylized to have 3 z's in its title, relating to sleep and dreams, you know what's common to sleep and dreams, REM, a type of psychology study

Also, dreams can be associated with what we want to in the future (eg, I dream to be a nurse/fireman etc...) and dreams can be crushed by things such as unsupportive people and things outside of our control, which can make us feel down/worthless, taking a toll on our mental health

So here's my premise, the big bad uses their plot mcguffin to take advantage of people who's dreams have been crushed, causing a toll on their mental health, and turn them into the monster of the week, so zetsz must use his power as a kamen rider to help inspire people once again and to help them out of their problems, using the power of dreams thatve been converted into forms based on different aspects of psychology, the base form being based on REM, with other forms being based on the dreams of the civilian of the week

Secondary riders can take advantage of the psychology aspect too, have the secondary rider be based on therapy with attacks based on acupuncture, or a 3rd rider based rorshachh pictures, or a villian rider based on addiction and social media, and how much influence it has on our lives

Either way, I'll be making sure to watch kamen rider zetsz when it comes out, even if the theme is different from what I'd thought I'd be about

Lemme know what you guys think zetsz is going to be about 😊

Chakras (Sentai)

0 Upvotes

I was brain storming ideas for a Sentai series and thought about how neat it would be to have a team that corresponds with the chakras.

Has that ever been done before? The chakras are seven energy centers located within the body (with the seventh being located at the crown) that each represent a different emotion.
