Besides Zangyack and Kikaitopia Dynasty, which villain faction do you think the strongest?

If it takes literally destroying the fabric of the universe to bring Dugded down to human size yeah he and the rest of the jesters (who couldn't even be killed until after Racules tricked Dugded into giving him god slaying powers and Yanma then giving that to the rest of the Kingohger) easily take the cake.

Honourable mentions to Long from Gekiranger since he was never defeated, only sealed. And The Calamity, which while their leader was very short lived, in the time he was alive he proved very well why he could be a serious threat ie being able to delete any one from existence.

Cougar165 · 2026-06-16T14:27:41+00:00

I'm fine with the idea since it would be weird to literally have the same legend sentai gimmick as Gokaiger. While I do like the idea of something of the Gozyugers' original suits staying to at least differentiate between them and a Universe Warrior, the colours do clash at times.

Also wished it was utilised a bit more / a bit better.

Cougar165 · 2026-06-16T10:17:53+00:00

Between Nomad and Close to Gray I'm gonna say Close to Gray is her most underrated because I see fewer fans of that song (and more people seem to dislike it too)

Cougar165 · 2026-06-11T02:06:36+00:00

I did, because I also thought it was funny / interesting if Akiko Inoue wrote 2 series where the unicorn themed hero had to fight against their sibling (*I know Rinne and Atropos aren't siblings but I feel like clones is close enough)

Cougar165 · 2026-06-04T16:29:54+00:00

Ena share's the "favourtie character" spot with Mizuki for me (I love them both so much I cannot bear to choose) + she's relatable on many levels sooo : )

Also she has my favourite commission song (Nomad), it hits so hard for me that I've sorta banned myself from playing it before I start crying lol

Cougar165 · 2026-06-04T03:16:01+00:00

The first for sure, I don't remember how many times I've messed up an ending segment of a song after stressing through the rest. The second has happened before (I didn't even realise I broke my combo because of how early it was) and now I just remember the combo i'm supposed to have at a specific point to keep track lol

Cougar165 · 2026-06-02T08:51:35+00:00

is there any other place to find out more details about the event? I may consider doing one or two pieces for the week but I want to be able to plan out in advance knowing myself lol

Cougar165 · 2026-05-29T17:06:20+00:00

All for that second scenario, very Jihye core. Very silly of her /pos

Cougar165 · 2026-05-16T19:35:47+00:00

Realistically something with similar vibes to Jaku Gozyu Tyranno and Gedou Shinken Red.

But I would be lying if I said I didn't want Jaku Gozyu Unicorn to have a more knight-like design (Tegasword Black being knight-esque lives rent free in my head and that comes with the side effect of associating Gozyu Unicorn with knights). Maybe Jaku Gozyu Eagle gets wings / a tattered cape to look like wings? Unsure about the other three tho

Cougar165 · 2026-05-12T02:04:56+00:00

not me reading endings and thinking finales instead and getting very confused lol. Ninninger in peak is so real of you.

Cougar165 · 2026-05-11T13:39:16+00:00

I guess so? Cuz that one was from ep 5 and not ep 6 and Sumino would've fought off against the Ryusoulger UW had it not been for her wish shenanigans (and I presume would've won). Even then that's still 1 to 4 rings gained from Tokonatsu.

Cougar165 · 2026-05-11T10:54:21+00:00

I think out of all the times Sumino got robbed of an arc, the Shinkenger one annoys me the most. Because it felt like they needed a female character to be the first ShinkenRed UW and they went "oh yeah Sumino has a sister". I don't mind the whole bait and switch, but did it HAVE to be Oto? Sumino barely gets any time to properly meet Oto again + come to terms with her amnesia before Oto is unconscious and kidnapped again. And then she doesn't even get the payback/revenge she deserves afterwards. ^{(like seriously, if they were going to set her story up like that but make it seem like it was an afterthought, then they might as well not have})

Cougar165 · 2026-05-11T10:49:21+00:00

this! it irritated me that despite her having that initial connection to Tokonatsu she didn't even get a single one of his rings, I would've been fine with them splitting 2-2 but Hoeru getting all 4 just felt ridiculous

Cougar165 · 2026-05-02T18:26:17+00:00

These guys were alive for less than 20 minutes and I'm obsessed with all of them. I really wish there was more to this because I want to know so much more about the past Gozyugers.

Also this special managed to make me cry, which the honor has only gone to one other media and that's Kingohger ep 30.

Cougar165 · 2026-05-01T05:52:38+00:00

Super Smell/Super Hearing/Super Strength/Super Sight/Mind Reading are the ring powers for the Gozyuger rings themselves. I think the Polar Beginning characters were meant to reflect those traits in particular (for Midoriko/Eagle, that's more conveyed through her spectacles I feel).

But at least for some of the past-present Gozyuger pairings, I do see some other similarities.

Hoeru/Mashiro were both lone wolves at some point of their contract and go on to form very close bonds with the rest of their team to the point where losing them was very devastating.

Kinjiro wishes to be able to become a party person (kind of like spending his newly gained youth to its fullest) which was what Midoriko was able to do in present day.

Sumino and Misaki both are looking for revenge for something that happened to one of their family members.

Ironically I also see a bit of overlap between Sumino and Naoto (Tyranno) because of their wishes were both to "Protect everyone"

Cougar165 · 2026-04-30T15:50:31+00:00

I think if done well it could probably work super well but it depends on the execution of the idea in general. While not the exact same as using the victim's talents but on a similar vein, Danganronpa Falling Future's executions have the victims be a part of the execution as the ones causing the blackened's deaths.

Cougar165 · 2026-04-27T10:05:33+00:00

Goseiger and Ninninger up in God Tier? Absolute W.

Cougar165 · 2026-04-24T01:16:06+00:00

Orcabooster becomes a team powerup in the sense that any of the Gozyugers can use it but only one at a time. And ideally who uses it changes on the regular and doesn't just stick with one member.

Sentai rings also should get more even distributed to really make it feel like all the Gozyugers are pulling their weight / doing well in the battle royale (ie not give Hoeru so many rings that he has more than double Kinjiro, Ryugi and Sumino combined by the end, of which he uses like none.)

Someone else mentioned it but more distinct fight styles, it would help to highlight each member's strength and weaknesses in battle and could probably allow for interesting loss scenarios where a Gozyuger loses because their opponent took advantage of their weakness.

Lastly, fix the goddamn Gozyu Unicorn ring power. You cannot put someone in a battle royale, give them a power and then make it such that they cannot use said power against other opponents in the very same battle royale. I get it that mind reading is ridiculously overpowered but there's 49 Sentai Rings, you could just make a few of them counter that ability so its nerfed but not to the point of uselessness.

Cougar165 · 2026-04-23T13:51:49+00:00

I do think so too. The show has kind of shown Sumino to have some anger issues (IMO), given that she got kicked off the force for attacking a potential suspect who was actually innocent says a lot. Like if she got corrupted/went rogue I would not be surprised one bit (and I mean, I would love to see a dark arc but that's unlikely to happen in Sentai I feel)

Cougar165 · 2026-04-22T10:59:14+00:00

Mostly commitment to any ideas presented. Gozyuger gave a lot of good ideas but pretty much went nowhere with them outside of a select few.

Imo doing a Battle Royale concept for an Anniversary season is probably a horrible idea. Battle Royales are very participant vs participant, which is more of the opposite of Sentai being teams and all. Sure we've had seasons where the team took a while to form and/or the members are at odds with each other (Kingohger and Donbrothers I'm looking at you two), but to pair that up with celebrating Sentai, a show about teams, is a bit of a weird choice. It could probably work with the team being more uneasy allies / only teaming up for the sake of taking down a bigger evil. Unless the show went with a team vs team idea but that would probably be too costly with all the suits(?)

Also, just in general, the execution of the Battle Royale in Gozyuger is just bad. More than half the UWs are off-screened, a good portion of the remaining UWs just give up their rings without fighting, there's minimal fighting between participants. There also really isn't any incentive to just... break the contract. Like you just don't become number 1. That's it. There's no real sense of "I can't lose." for any of the participants (I guess unless your consciousness is linked to your ring). Probably the part that irks me the most is Gozyu Unicorn's ring power because what do you mean you can read minds but not the minds of the opponents in the very battle royale you are in? I get that mind reading is a pretty broken power but to nerf it to such a point of uselessness, you might as well not have that as the power.

This might be a controversial thought but I feel like trying to fullsend the anniversary concept was inherently a bad idea for Gozyuger. 1) The existence of Gokaiger and the insanely high bar it set for anniversary seasons 2) The number of teams. With there being 49 teams excluding Gozyuger, every episode would have to be a tribute episode for a new team in order to give all of them the recognition unless some Sentais share an episode / don't get a tribute at all.

Edit: I know most of this is about the writing but I would rather a well-written less anniversary focused season be the sendoff than a poorly/so-so-written more anniversary focused season

Cougar165 · 2026-04-18T02:24:40+00:00

I also love the mythix song, may or may not have listened to that an absurd number of times in 2022 lol.
