Kamen Rider Fourze and Yu Yu Hakusho: A reference to Chinese Mythology and Astrology

Hello guys. I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to discuss something what I've noticed in the recent episode of Kamen Rider Fourze. In a scene of the episode, where Kengo meets his father's partner/friend, Mr. Emoto, the both of them talks about the comic energy in the universe and on earth (I know I maybe wrong on one part).



In this image, I've noticed that Mr. Emoto briefly discussed the four mythical gods of the chinese astrology, Genbu(Top), Byakko(Left), Seiryu(Right), and Suzaku(Bottom). The name also represent the directions and the seasons of the year:  
  • (Seiryu) Azure Dragon of the East: Spring
  • (Suzaku) Vermilion Bird of the South: Summer
  • (Byakko) White Tiger of the West: Autumn
  • (Genbu) Black Tortoise of the North: Winter
Now these name sounded very familiar when I first heard them and noticed that these names and images reminded me of The Four Saint Beast from the anime, Yu Yu Hakusho. In the anime the four heroes have to fight off the four beast to save Earth.

The first beast they fought was Genbu: The Stone Beast,who had the body of a tortise,



 the second was Byakko: The White Tiger,












the third was Seiryu: The Blue Dragon,







 and the last was the leader which was Suzaku (which represented the Phoenix as you can see here).












This is very interesting to know that their opponents has some similarities to themselves. According to the source: "Kurama being wise and intelligent like the turtle, Kuwabara being Brave and determined like the tiger, Hiei Calm but deadly like the Dragon and Yusuke being passionate and having a habit of coming back stronger every time he dies like the Phoenix. Even more interesting is that Yusukes energy took the form of a Phoenix and Hiei's best attack being in the shape of a dragon." That is really interesting. Now the question is, will we see some of these elements form in Kamen Rider Fourze? I would love to see something like this to happen in the series.

SuperHeroTaisen images and Decade VS. Gavan rumor?

Hello guys. My birthday just pasted and it was a good one. I'm happy to receive alot of good and comforting messages and birthday wishes from alot of people. I really do thank them. I've recently seen more images from SuperHeroTaisen and these are some mindblowing pictures and news I've seen and read!
In this image you have the forms of OOO, but it's not how they came about in the OOO summer movie. The six forms are the GoKaigers! You can easliy tell these are the GoKaigers by their stances and poses. I have been hoping for this to happen since last summer and now it's actually going to happen!
With the GoKaigers using a Kamen Rider's power, Decade will be using a Sentai's power. In this image, Decade and two other riders (Ryuki and Blade) will be using some new Gosei cards. What will these cards do? We will have to wait and see. I may not be a fan of the Goseigers, but this is really interesting to see three riders with the use of cards, use the Gosei cards.  

Finally we see an image of the conbination of a sentai mecha and a rider power. Here is the Go-Bustoh with the S-3 rockets and S-1 drills from Fourze to make one powerful mecha! It seems as though the mecha is doing a certain drop kick (or a rider kick) to the monster! This movie is getting more and more epic by the minute. I'm still going to try not to get too excited for the movie, eventhough I can't help it. It's amazing! More information about the movie images can be found here. 

I've recently heard a rumor about Decade crossing over to Gavan's world. I'm not sure if this is true, but if it is, I would love to see Decade go against Gavan. That would be a really good battle! Now I'm hoping to see more previews from SuperHeroTaisen soon!

New Theory: How would the GoKaigers meet the GoBusters in the next VS. movie?


Hello guys. It's been one epic week for toku. I saw the recent full trailer to SuperHeroTaisen and it's freaking awesome! Finally saw the GoKaiger VS. Gavan movie and it's definetly one of the best VS. movies so far. Seeing Kenji Ohba (Gavan) fighting the Sugormin was just amazing. I did not know he could fight that well! The choreography of the fights were amazing. I recently found out that he was in other sentai shows and was a suit actor for Akaranger. That is awesome. The GoBusters appearance in the movie was really cool too. Everything about this movie is just amazing and really gives a big omage to Gavan and the Metal Heroes' 30th anniversary. I highly reccomend it.

Now with the GoBusters series airing, I've already thought of a theory as to how they would meet the GoKaigers again in the next VS. movie. My theory is this: First, let's look back at episode 38 of GoKaiger where Joe is fighting Barizorg. We know that Joe defeated Barizorg and left Barizorg's body in that same place where he is laying. Think about it, Barizorg is an andriod created by the Zangyack, who is also Joe's mentor and friend, Sid, and you have the current villians, from GoBusters, who are machines. What if a villian from GoBusters created a time portal and went to the future to find more sources of energy, and that villian just so happens to find Barizorg's body still laying in that exact same spot where Joe left him. The villian takes Barizorg back to the past and remodels him into a more powerful android. That is just one of my theories as to how that could tie in the next VS. movie. I'm still not sure how to put the GoKaigers in with the GoBusters. I will be putting some thought into it. So yeah, that is just part of my theory I came up with. I really do hope that these two teams meet again soon.

GoKaiger: The American Adaptation idea(s)

Hello everyone. I was talking to my friend about GoKaiger and how it would be a bit different if/when it gets adapted in the US. She came up with an idea about their morphers. What if the american adaptation uses coins instead of keys to install in the mobirates? This could be a really good idea, although I still like the use of keys, but this still could be a great why to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers. Here is a reason why I say this: With the use of coins, it can be an omage to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, (The first Power Rangers in the US.)  She also pointed out that the coins can be color-coded into the past and present rangers' colors with their helmets on one side and their logos on the other (like heads and tails of a coin). I've thought of the name of the coins. It's a simple name honestly. The GoKaigers have "ranger keys", the US adaptation can have "ranger coins". Where the coins would be installed could be in the same place as the keys or on either sides of the mobirates. Again, this was an idea that me and my friend came up with of the GoKaiger US adaptation. What would your ideas be for the US GoKaiger?

GoKaiger: The Epic Finale, SuperHeroTaisen

Hello guys! I hope everyone is having a great day and week. I hope you will have a good weekend too. I thought I come by and give my thoughts to GoKaiger. I, for one, hate to see a series as epic as GoKaiger to end. It is, hands down, my favorite Super Sentai series ever. It's the exactly same feeling I had when Kamen Rider Double ended. The feeling of an epic series, with a great plot, action, comedy, great actors and character development throughout the series and knowing that it will come to an end sooner or later. I do know that the GoKaigers will return in SuperHeroTaisen and hopfully a team-up movie with the GoBusters. So it won't be the last time we see them. My short thoughts on the characters:

Captain Marvelous: The rough leader of the team and someone who will never let anybody stand in his way to acchieving his or other people's dreams. 

Joe Gibken: First shipmate or commander of the team and an excellent swordman. I really like the battles he had with Barizorg. Those were some epic battles . The moments he have with Marvelous at times shows that he knows Marvelous better than the rest of the team.

Luka Milfy: A no nonsense type of person who love luxury, but deep down (and it shows later in the series) she is a caring person that will fight others well being (as she really has been all along).

Don Dogier: A goofy, clumsy, and smart person, that can handle his own in a battle.

Ahim De FaMille: A beautiful kind-hearted princess, that can also handle her own in a battle. 

Gai Ikari: The ultimate fanboy of Super Sentai who later became one on his own. He is the most goofiest out of the team and a great asset to the team.

These are my small thoughts on the team and show. I can't wait to see them again in the upcoming movies.


Now to SuperHeroTaisen! More and more images have surfaced and now we see what will happen in the upcoming crossover movie.

In this image, we see GoKaiRed against the Legendary Seven Kamen Riders.



Here we have Decade Vs. GoKaiRed. I can't wait to see how this comes out.


Here is the movie poster for SuperHeroTaisen. This poster is epic!

I really can't wait to see this movie! For now, let's continue to enjoy the SuperHeroTime block!

More Images Of SuperHeroTaisen, GoKaiger's Awesome Run, What I've Been Up Too Lately

Hello guys. It's Feburary already! Time is sure flying again! I almost thought it was still Jan. I've been doing a lot of job searching. I hope I still get one soon. I really want to get Soul Calibur V. It just came out recently and my friend just brought the collector's edition. It's so awesome! I can't wait to get it! I know my friend's favorite character from Shinkenger is Chiaki and she is creating him on Soul Calibur V! Hahaha! I thought it is pretty cool. The weapon she chose from him look very similar to the weapon Chiaki used in Shinkenger. Epic points for her creation!

Now onto GoKaiger. The series is nearly over, and it has been, so far, the best Sentai series ever. The GoKaigers has really shown alot of character depth to one another and showing their back stories, giving the fans what these characters are all about. The fights have been incredible! Some of the best fights I've seen in Super Sentai. I can't wait to see the GoKaigers face off against Kamen Rider Decade in the upcoming SuperHeroTaisen movie.


Wow! Decade leading an army of DaiShocker and other villians against Maravelous, who is leading an army of the Zangyak! This is going epic! The question is, why are they fight each other? I can't wait to see a trailer to this movie, to really see what is happening or going to happen.

SuperHeroTaisen Preparations, and my week

Hello guys. I know I haven't been updating in a while, and I'm sorry about that. I've been trying to keep busy, as usual. I did a live streaming show last weekend, and it was fun. I was glad to have my good friend to join me on the show. I know I've hearing about this internet bill, and people, including myself are against it. I don't really want to get into that. I have been watching Kamen Rider Fourze and GoKaiger. Awesome episodes and can't wait to see the next ones. I can't believe how fast time has pasted and is going. It feels like yesterday when GoKaiger aired and now it's almost over. But I won't say it's the end, because they will be back in the upcoming: SuperHeroTaisen: All Kamen Rider VS. All Super Sentai. There were a recent picture of the filming to the movie and just by looking at the picture it looks awesome.


In the image, we see the GoKaiger's suit actors and Decade. I wonder how will they meet in this image. Alot of people have been preparing for the epic crossover by making some fanmade trailers. Alot of which were awesome!













 
    Here is the real teaser for the upcoming SuperHeroTaisen movie.  

Here is one of few awesome fanmade trailers I've seen.


I can't wait to see more teasers and trailers from the upcoming crossover. Hopefully this will be epic!
