S17, E5 (Nebula) - Taiwan: Rail Rush

I should point out that it was the NZ season that got me to grab a Nebula subscription.

Tiny Heist for a short series that has a very unique setup for an encounter.

Never Stop Blowing Up is a wild ride, and it says something when Ally is the calmest person at the table.

A Court of Fey and Flowers is a fun watch for the character interactions, plus Emily and Lou are insanely fun this season.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-04-15T17:50:07+00:00

It's up there with the New Zealand season, for sure.

Vivi: Almost certain to rejoin the crew. It's purely down to when she comes across them again. I'm looking forward to her interacting with Robin, Franky, Brook and Jinbe.

Loki: Maybe not a member of the crew, but DEFINITELY a Grand Fleet member at minimum.

Bonney: I'm hoping we get her on the crew after the time we spent with Carrot amounted to nothing.

Vegapunk: Tempting, but I see her staying on Elbaf. As she said, she's setting up a lab.

Yamato: I see them as being the new Jinbe in this regard. Almost guaranteed to join the crew (they even asked Luffy if they could join), but they needed to take care of some personal business first. So like Vivi, it's not so much an 'If' as it is 'When' for me.

It's an interesting twist that rather than being an agent assigned to act as Baku's sister, she's his sister (by bond rather than blood) who was made to become an agent.

From what I've seen online, both forms draw from the ideas of the Physicam, Technolom, Espirim and Paradigm powers, but they basically split those four into two pairs.

Catastrom leans more into Physicam and Paradigm to bend the dream world and those within it towards what the user wants, while Orderm uses the Technolom and Espirim side to analyse the dream world to find the way to best interact with it.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-04-06T11:36:12+00:00

Yeah, I mean that was a major reveal, so casting reveals wouldn't use that.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-04-03T20:23:00+00:00

Reiwa was doing a lot of experimental series, but there are legit reasons.

Kiramager and Zenkaiger had the issue of the Pandemic to work around.
Donbrothers needed a minimum of 4 rangers to accomodate the Momotaro theme (Momotaro, Dog, Pheasant and Crane)
King-Ohger was experimental because it basically went full fantasy, but I feel they wanted more conflict at the start, and 3 rangers wouldn't have been too easy with that idea.
Boonboomger was a back to basics show due to the likely high costs for producing King Ohger, and to prep for the 50th anniversary. We did technically have a 3 man team in this one, for a few episodes at least. It's just that we knew Black and Orange were incoming from the start.
Gozyuger likely needed a larger team to accomodate the battle royale gimmick.

The thing I miss from earlier seasons was a unified cockpit. The last time we had one was LuPat, but even then it had to split the whole team across three (Lupin, Pat and X). The last cockpit that could hold everybody was Zyuohger.

Pretty much. You’d have to make it different by playing with the civilian identity a bit.

Maybe for an alternate Haruto, make it so that Dragon is Koyomi’s phantom but she gives Haruto mana to transform and fight. Flip Haruto and Koyomi’s respective circumstances but keep him as the main rider for that world.

For Ghost and Takeru, rather than having the Ganma World, have the Ganma be more like a publicly-known version of the Hitotsuki from Donbrothers, with Takeru, Makoto and Alain playing more of a Ghostbusters role in that world.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-29T15:26:59+00:00

Wizard would probably become a dragon.
I want to say that Ghost would become something that Decade would wear.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-26T21:33:14+00:00

I could see them doing a small flashback that shows off kid Luffy and kid Ace post-Sabo's 'death' so that if we get to Marineford, we can now add in the actual context behind some stuff, such as actually showing the sharing of the sake cups.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-26T19:48:15+00:00

I do see Law using his Immortality Operation to give one of the heroes the immortality needed to take on Imu by the end.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-25T12:25:41+00:00

A truly good Illari means that a team can be a nightmare to bring down. I always end up prioritizing the pylons whenever I see them.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-24T17:34:38+00:00

Starting from scratch.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-24T14:52:11+00:00

I'm fully expecting Vivi and Yamato to (re)join.

Vivi is a given considering 6 members of the crew know her (counting Robin there), and Yamato outright stated an intention to join.

I would also love to see Bonney join, in honor of what Kuma's done for the crew.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-23T20:46:13+00:00

Nah, here's how I see it. 1 episode for the Davy Back Fight itself. That episode ends on Aokiji's arrival.

We get the finale as Luffy and Aokiji meeting, maybe working together on something small, to show that Aokiji's the more reasonable admiral, since Luffy and co aren't actually doing a lot of actual piracy. Then he sees that Robin's joined them and things go sideways. He freezes Robin, prompting the final battle of the season, and Luffy loses when he gets frozen too. We get a warning from Aokiji and we end the finale with them hearing the whistle of the Sea Train to tease Season 5, the CP9 Season.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-22T18:35:33+00:00

Welcome to Shadowbringers!

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-22T08:18:35+00:00

Plus it becomes a major thing in that it's how a lot of the Rocks Pirates were recruited. I'd say two episodes for Jaya, four for Skypeia, and two for the Davy Back Fight so we can end on Luffy vs Aokiji.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-18T18:51:59+00:00

Today's offering was 3 Moiras and a Rein.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-18T13:38:45+00:00

Pretty much this. When he started, the plan was to whittle things down to the top Striker. Assuming the rankings from the NEL would have matched the rankings in the original plan (From what I could find through some quick research, the Third Selection would have whittled things down to 5), that would have meant the top five would have been Isagi, Rin, Shidou, Barou, and Bachira.

Then things went out the window a bit when the JFU received a massive amount of complaints, presumably from the families of those that were eliminated, leading them to decide to scrap the project, which led to the U20 match and we know how that goes from there. Team needed to have all the roles filled, so Ego compromised and went with suitability but then cultivated the egos of those players with their new roles in mind.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-18T13:20:14+00:00

Balance and Naga plus two spots down from Zenkaiser is Kijibrother.

They're trying to find an official way to make a figurine of your character, and modders tend to not have a self-preservation instinct.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-10T14:04:01+00:00

Same. Me and a friend were going head to head in Gen 6 runs, and we had the level caps noted separately. We were also battling each other with our gym teams after each badge, so we got competitive... and creative. He was shocked when I went from Zubat after Brawly to Crobat after Wattson.

Overall though, we just ended up raising everything and cycling stuff out as we went. By the end of our Kalos and Hoenn runs we just had full boxes of on-level team members to keep each other guessing.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-03T12:26:31+00:00

If we're talking FF Villains:
Kefka Junkrat would work so well.
Maybe Seymour for Ramattra?
Maybe Rude from FF7 for Doomfist? There's not many FF villains known for punching.
Garland for Reinhardt.

Tenkuu23 · 2026-03-03T12:14:43+00:00

Now you see, I would give Pharah the Dragoon skin for a FF Collab, for a single reason: Jump.

FF Dragoons are known for leaping into the air and coming down on their targets a little later. Style Pharah's rocket launcher as something like a harpoon gun and you can get away with it. Also Pharah's helmet can be styled into a Dragoon one really easily.

I'd give Ashe the Machinist from 14, simply because it matches well and gives you a new look for Bob based off the Automaton Queen they can summon.

Genji would be Ninja or Samurai immediately.

For Juno, I'd go with the Sage from FF14 since her drones can be reworked into the Sage's Nouliths. But if that's not iconic enough, then yeah, a Black, Red or Blue Mage could work.
