The US Needs Local Heroes and Monsters like Japan has.

Fight me.

KitaQ Man, the local hero of Kitakyushu, a prefecture in Fukuoka

It's such a cool idea. You make a hero themed after your town's local industry, culture, or whatever, the local tourism board uses them to hype up the town, and the kids get a regional hero experience. The merch sales go toward local schools or infrastructure.

We already have this, sort-of, with the Mothman and Gritty, but it can go way further. Semi-related, I want to see these two fight.

And with digital media, you don't even need local TV to get your hero's exploits out there.

And this would be huge for nationwide tourism. Collecting spoons from all the states you've driven through is sweet, but imagine how fun it would be to pick up a local action figure?

It's all the local pride and merch sales of a sports mascot, but with none of the possibility that your team sucks, and even a small town can get a morph suit and some cosplay gear together for a local theater kid to tell kids about traffic safety.

Logistically, this would likely require a consulting or management company that could put together a character "package" for interested towns and industries, but as long as we keep Vince McMahon far away from it, it could be sweet.

C'mon local chamber of commerce, do something awesome for once.

[rubbertig]

ohgaman's whole thing is getting folks, especially older ppl, to take their prescribed medication because apparently in japan that can be a issue where many dont take them either by forgetting or just hoarding them?? anyway he's so grandpa coded and he occasionally butt heads w my favorite guy yabai kamen who's a local VILLAIN

speaking of.. yabai kamen is great he has a helmet/mask that has screen eyes that express. its cute.

he looks a little different now, these r old pics, but ya.

he's part of an evil company that's both fictional and REAL. basically they rent out the villains for local hero events and collabs because hey SOMEONE has to be the bad guy. lol.

anyway his social media is great. one time he posted a picture promoting a thing. it was a sticker above his ass like a tramp stamp. i was like bro u just posted an ass pic on main. one time i made him an amv.

sometimes he's a lil fruity or something. here's a pic of him with another local hero called kitaQman.

kitaQ kinda comes off a bit of a lazy clout chaser. ohgaman, yabai kamen, and kitaQman r all on a toku show together called Dogengers and kitaQman just spends most of his screen time doing jack shit and being on his phone. bastard.

i could go on more but its like 4AM so gn

The Chemies Exposed

Arc: Yuma and Rin are buying lunch when power suddenly goes out in the shopping district, the store owners all up in arms about a rat that's been causing problems regularly lately, and beg Rin to help. They call in YouPi, and find that the rat has been targeting not food stocks but power supplies, indeed it has been chewing through junction boxes and feeding off their cables. At SKIP, after deciding to at least investigate properly, Ishido tells Ban of recent research into bacteria that consume electricity, and that the rats they inhabited would feed on it as well, there were considerations of adapting it for humans on space missions, but things went wrong. Rin realises the incidents have happened around Kashida Heavy Industries, a power manufacturer, and Ban obtains permission for them to investigate, a PR representative explains their revolutionary power system uses the rare element Diamode, and accompanies Rin, eventually allowing her into the generator room where they encounter the giant rat, Rin traps it with a net launcher Yuma devised, only for it to shock itself and go out of control, just as Ban contacts with data on the Electrimas, and the warning not to zap it. Too late it goes out of control and giant, Yuma postulating it's cells have now fused with the electricity, YouPi dubs it Nezutron. Realising it is still connected to the Diamode Reactor, which may explode if overexerted, Rin has Yuma evacuate while she and YouPi rush to shut down thr reactor. Once everyone is evacuated Yuma becomes Arc once more, while the electricity is a problem, the cable impedes Nezutron's movement. Once the reactor is shut down Nezutron destroys the cable, and Arc has Yuma unleash more imagination, producing a new Arc Cube that equips him with Solis Armour. With the shopkeeper's cheering Arc defeats Nezutron. As the shopkeepers later show their appreciation to SKIP and Rin in particular, she tells Yuma and YouPi about how she moved a lot as a kid, and while she only came to Hoshimoto for SKIP, she sees it as her home now.

Shin Dogengers: KitaQman and MTL have been arguing since moving back into the Tanaka Residence, when Tanaka announces he's heading out to Nokonoshima, taking the time to properly introduce Dogenuts. AHK hear about Maid Shitsuji's defeat and are still worrying about Yabai Kamen's absence, Nectaris contacts them from his business that he'll be heading out. At Nokonoshima, the Yamashiro Gas Hero Division are, alongside Bincho Fire and his interpreter, serving food to everyone when Tanaka arrives with KitaQman. While Redron and Bincho Fire discuss the situation with them, Daidairon takes the time to eat himself, and Aoiron tries to flirt with Interpreter. Tanaka explains the AHK members might have enhanced their power, and after KitaQman demonstrates his own new power in the KitaQ Dash, exhausting himself Tanaka, suggests their fire powers grow stronger. This prompts Yamashiron to fuse and Bincho Fire to set down his vocaliser so they can continue an argument over who the true fire representative of the Dogengers is, only breaking off the argument when Nectaris attacks, managing to knock Tanaka out. Yamashiron and Bincho Fire fight seriously despite the ongoing animosity. When Yamashiron is defused, Redron tries to get the others to run, while Bincho Fire is determined to protect them all. The Hero Division collectively agreed and re-fuse, and let their passion burn in powerful flames they use to attack Nectaris. Bincho Fire watches impressed and has a revelation of his own, and also channels fire more aggressively, realising rather than rivals Bincho Fire represents yellow flames and Yamashiron stronger blue flames, and together they defeat Nectaris. Tanaka awakens on the bunk below KitaQman aboard Dogenuts, seeing Yamashiron and Bincho Fire aboard are also exhausted, and returns the vocaliser. Back at the Tanaka residence, Tanaka brings Yamashiron some porridge to recover, noting Bincho Fire is already back at Daishizen. In space, Ohga-Man contemplates his next move when he spots Yabai Kamen, who panicked as he drifts closer.

Gotchard: Occult shows are abuzz with the Chemy news and asking for more information. The Academy know it's now beyond the point they can erase memories of the Chemies, especially with the suppressed footage also restored, some people are panicking. Hotaro and Rinne are targeted by criminals who want the Chemies powers for themselves, as Spanner observes the people remembering. Hotaro and Rinne fight off the criminals until Golem Goriki appears, his ability to become the Gorilla Malgam restored. Rainbow Gotchard engages, summoning AntWrestler, but Gaelijah appears and steal VenomDake, turning the criminal boss into a Malgam and disrupting the GotchaBrothers ability. Majade joins the battle, borrowing the Exgotchaliber, Gaelijah doing something to help, but the Malgams flee, and Gaelijah warns the Chemies will cause a death. Rinne sees Atropos, and tries to warn her she can't trust Greyon. Atropos ignores her, and returns to Greyon, who gifts her clothes and the Alchemist Legend, acting with her the same way he had seen Fuga do with Rinne. The Assembly appear to have fled, and the Academy discussion what to do when the Occult TV show gains access, having somehow learnt their identities. They try and control the situation, Spanner rushing to check on Kyouka, having to help a kid being hassled over a toy on the way, arrives as Edami Lab to find it ransacked by more people, but Lachesis and Kyouka are safe, Spanner comes to a decision. The Malgam are rampaging, to Platinum Gotchard and Majade MoonCerberus go to face them, Platinum Gotchard uses NijiGon to stop spores from VenomDake, and defeats both Chemies with a combination attack witu NijiGon and XHopper. As they are planning to calm things down, Spanner, dressed as an instructor, suddenly makes a broadcast, declaring the failure of the Assembly and that he's declaring, with the backing of other Alchemists, himself overseer of Alchemy, vowing to destroy all the Chemies protect the people, and then orders Hotaro to bring them to him.

Boonboomger: Taiya meets with his mentor, who now knows he is BunRed, and is asked to deliver fireworks to his nephew, Senji, currently camping. Said camping trip is crashed by the Sanseaters, who think acting in the wilderness will help them escape notice, and they turn Senji's tent into a Kurumajin, which traps the other kids, and then the teacher when she sends Senji to get help. Jou arrives at the garage to find Mira and Boonboom closely watching Chassiro work on programming Boonboom Cars, planning to create an appropriate match to BunRed 119. Jou wants his own special form, BunBlack 110, but Chassiro says he'd be first, BunBlue 007. Genba arrives with a key component, an upgraded AI chip based on Marine and Safari. Senji, being chased, is heard by Sakito and ByunD, who are also camping as they haven't secured housing yet, BunViolet defends Senji. Taiya pulls up and sees the battle, but then finds Senji. Sakito gets caught in a tent protecting them, and ByunD has Taiya go to protect Senji, only to get trapped himself. Seeing the Sanseaters taking pictures with the Super Car, Taiya takes Senji to safety over the mountains, while alerting the team, Bundario gives Chassiro something for Taiya. Cannonborg decides to lure BunRed to them rather than continuing to hunt, using Senji's classmates. When Taiya and Senji approach the city they find Cannonborg and Tent Kuruma holding the kids captive and calling BunRed out, Taiya goes out, supported by Sakito who broke free, and together they fight, BunViolet is eventually defeated, but BunRed 119 defeats his foe. As the Kurumaju is formed though, Cannonborg still has plans, using a new weapon to grow Nejirettas, and trap the hostages in a giant campfire. The others arrive, giving Taiya the new Boonboom Car. Boonboom sends out Boonboom Leo Rescue, as Taiya summons Boonboom Shoubousha, which serves as a central control area for Leo Rescue, and douses the flames, then separates Shoubousha to use it on the ladder to rescue the hostages. Leo Rescue can't get past the wreckage to reach Tent Kuruma, but it has another secret, Boonboom Leon. The others call in Patocar 2, Classic, Off-Road and Dozer, which Boonboom Leon can convert to Attack Mode and then equip for a finisher. The kids celebrate their rescue, and as everyone celebrated, Taiya is thanked for helping Senji smile more than ever.

Love Enduring

Arc: On April 1st, 2024, Yuma is awakened by his grandmother for his first day as SKIP, she's worried about leaving him alone, but he sees her volunteering as more important. She also managed to dig out his old sketchbook with the hero drawing. At SKIP he meets Ban, Rin, You & Pi, and Rin takes him for his first investigation, observing a mysterious rift that appeared in the sky. After a while of no change beyond some electromagnetism, Ban takes over observation so they can have lunch. Realising it's been 16 years since K-Day, Rin asks Yuma about the Monogelos incident, then realises she probably shouldn't. He recounts how his family were camping when Monogelos appeared, engaged in battle with a giant of light. His parents became trapped in rubble and told him to run, and the giant of light destroyed Monogelos, the remaining portion of which, the Monohorn, impacted near Yuma, knocking him out. 3 days later he was rescued, but nobody else saw the Giant, Monogelos's death officially attributed to suddenly change in oxygen levels. Ban calls them back as readings have increased, and YouPi has reported a resonance effect with the Monohorn. And suddenly, something very like Monogelos emerges from the rift, the twin horns mean is will soon be labeled Digelos. Trauma from Monogelos leaves Yuma unable to act as the Kaiju Response Unit engages Digelos, but then he realises it is making a path towards his grandmother's preschool, and rushes to the rescue. On the way he suddenly falls into a mirror world via a puddle, and Arc asks him to fight and unleash his imagination, giving him the Arc Cube and Arc Ariser. Snapping back to reality, Yuma finds he is holding them, and for the first time becomes Ultraman Arc. The children cheer, and Arc eventually penetrates the barrier by turning his beam into a whip, and destroys the horns left over. Yuma rushes to the nursery to find his grandmother safe. Yuma awakens from dreaming about these events after facing Leodo, and checking is sketchbook, finds he had also drawn the Arc Cube and Arc Ariser, the Arc Eye Sword, and forms using the power of the Sun and Moon. On the way to SKIP he sees Ishido, and discuss some other mysteries surrounding Arc and K-Day.

Shin Dogengers: Floating out in space, Ohga-Man wonders what to do before deciding on the obvious, starting the opening. At AHK the villains celebrate their victory, but realise Yabai Kamen's absence, with certain members increasingly panicked by his absence. Maid Shitsuji returns to Shura Cafe, where the maids are still tormenting the customers. Tanaka has returned to the original Tanaka residence, and worries what to do, but heard screaming and rushes towards it. He finds the patrons fleeing Shura Cafe and is dragged into it by the maids, panicking at the arrival of their head maid, who turns out to be KitaQman, who once again threw in the towel as soon as things seemed bad, but this time he doesn't want to look bad to Tanaka and quits as Maid Shitsuji arrives. Rookie tries to fight, but can't attack the maids, and then everyone realises KitaQman is gone, Maid Shitsuji giving chase as he tries to call in Metal, but then runs into so Karami who also chase him. Tanaka has been captured by the maids, but manages to charm them and affect an escape. In the same place they fought 4 years ago, KitaQman finally gets his support from Metal, except Maid Shitsuji has already caught him. Fortunately Rookie has already arrived, and fights Maid Shitsuji. KitaQman thinks back on the past and realises he has to act, and engages his high-speed KitaQ Dash, which damages enemies as he passes them, hitting Maid Shitsuji once and then joining Tanaka for the finish, although Metal has to throw him his sword. KitaQman wakes later from his exhaustion, and Tanaka now advises him on heroics as Metal had once advised him in using KitaQman as an example, and gives him the same chocolate screw. The two return home, only for KitaQman to have a freakout that Metal has already moved in. Shaberryman continues to worry about Yabai Kamen, unaware his president is stuck floating in space.

Gotchard: While the Riders are fighting the Jungle Malgam Kajiki tries to help Hijiri, but Clotho interferes and grabs her, escaping with her and the Malgam. The students together set up SmaPhone to trace Hijiri's phone, and Hotaro and Kajiki take GolDash in pursuit. Hijiri awakens to see Gaelijah and is terrified. Lachesis awakens from the memory awakening, and now remembers her model, a vain selfish woman she nonetheless can't bring herself to hate, who dreamed of being a famous singer, she equates it to Hotaro's Gotcha, more positively than she would have before. Greyon and Atropos approach Clotho, Greyon noting Clotho has served each Abyssal King in turn, she begs him to forgive Lachesis WHEN she returns to them, and he assures her he wants their family together as much as she does, as Atropos stares. Gaelijah reawakens Hijiri's memories of her true first meeting with Kajiki and becoming the Denji Malgam, Hijiri runs, Clotho and the Jungle Malgam chase as Hotaro and Kajiki arrive, but Hijiri runs from Kajiki. Hijiri now feels unworthy of Kajiki, aside from her darkness she feels guilty for not telling him about her criminal brother during their relationship, but Kajiki doesn't care, he just wants to protect her and her dream as he encouraged her before, enduring as she is forcibly turned into a Malgam and attacks. Rainbow Gotchard summons SteamHopper to help defeat the Denji Malgam, but Hijiri is affected by Gaelijah enough to cause it to reform separately, but Kajiki promises to protect her and tells her to keep true to her goals, and the malice lifts from her. Lending UFO-X to SteamHopper so they can defeat the Jungle Malgam, Rainbow Gotchard defeats the Denji Malgam, and Gaelijah and Clotho depart. Hijiri wonders how she forgot everything when Minato arrives and explains Chemy Law, erasing the Jungle Malgam's host memories. Kajiki asks to erase Hijiri's memories, wanting to protect her from her sorrow even if she has to forget him, but she refuses to forget him, and Minato leaves, remembering a certain man's dream of Chemy and Human coexistence, and wants Hotaro to make it happen. Kajiki and Hijiri still get their firework show, created by the students with help from the Chemies. At the Edami Lab, Spanner prepares a meal for Kyouka and Lachesis, which Lachesis enjoys, Kyouka explaining they're starting to see real progress in humanising her, but feels something like a goal will help further it, or perhaps love, suggesting Spanner, Lachesis rejects the idea of him but there's probably something there, before remembering Greyon saying what they do to defective dolls, but tells Kyouka nothing. Gaelijah takes the malice Hijiri let off and drops it on the population, seeking to reawaken buried memories, leading to occultism VTuber Kusao Frida revealing Chemies to the world, as people begin to remember.

Boonboomger: Chassiro, Mira and Boonboom are cleaning parts of Taiya's house, the parts he never uses, and stumble on some childhood drawings of him as a firefighter. The Sanseaters are struggling with the heat and spot a fire extinguisher, turning it into the latest Kurumajin. Jou is called to ISA by Saibu, informing him of recent fires with no warning signs, and asks him to investigate as she suspects Hashiliens are involved. Boonboom tries to asks Taiya about other dreams, but Taiya doesn't understand and Boonboom in frustration accidentally disrupts his work and lashes out rather than apologising. Jou isn't sure where to start when Genba, roleplaying the Candy Detective, offers his assistance. They question various victims before spotting the Sanseaters. Boonboom mopes, realising he messed up, and meets Sakito and ByunD. Sakito is typically sarcastic, but ByunD understands better Boonboom realising how little he actually knows about Taiya, and points out he has the means to fulfill Taiya's dream now. The Sanseaters, posing as Fire Department Volunteers, are distributing fire extinguishers, Jou and Genba barely prevent one from doing more damage, Genba has worked out they trigger flames if heat is mentioned, they get everyone on trying to round up anymore, but Gyasoline is collecting at a high rate, Taiya tracks it. Boonboom arrives back at the garage to learn of the ongoing case, and starts working on something specific for Taiya. The Boonboomgers engage the Hashiliens, but the flames of the Kurumajin are hard to handle. ByunD and BunViolet arrive, giving Boonboom the chance to throw Taiya his new invention, the Zoonzoom Shokablaster. Using it Taiya becomes BunRed 119, perfectly suited to defeating the Kurumajin, and against the Kurumaju they summon Boonboomger Robo Monster and Byunbyoom Mach Robo. The flames are too much until they use the Mach Wing to escape and defeat it. Taiya thanks Boonboom for fulfilling his dream, but the others note there are a lot of other drawings.
