Seventh Spear・Sandaaru – Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger

[cupcakes-are-ours]

sandaaru: i have never even once betrayed anyone, tau zant

[tokuteasings]

Headcanon: if Seven Dark Spears were humans, they would have animals they're based on as pets (like, peacock with Satarakura, bees with Furabiijo ect.).

Gosh I love this headcanon so much~!!! Anytime I get to talk about Hurricanger in any capacity is a win in my book

Furabijo would indeed keep bees around and she's just fucking out there living her best god damn cottage core life and probably has attack bees and attack wasps on standby. Decorate her entire home with flowers and all kinds of stuff! Eats honey every day and honestly it's how she stays so young.

Chuuzubo would keep frogs and toads. The bigger they are the better. He just likes their lil hopping selves and how they go about their day without a care in the world. He's very careful not to introduce any of his pets into the wild - lest they become invasive species.

Manmaruba would keep scorpions that somehow never fucking sting him and he has never been stung by literally anything in his life. The others have no idea how this happened but those damn things love him so much that they would never hurt him. He also deals with other stinging insects and sometimes his scorpions and Furabijo's bees have like a fucking play date.

Wendinu has snakes! They're lovely like her and tend to listen to her gossip most of the time and they also have hot takes. They tend to scare off any suitors she brings home because she has so much but she looooves them. They're her babies~! Dolls them up and they don't give a single flying fuck.

Sargain is based off of an ant so he has a lil ant farm! Those things love him especially when he gives them lil pieces of his own lunch. He talks to them and sometimes they make like fucking messages out of themselves bc they love him. Honestly it's rather cute to see because he has pictures of his ant babies and knows everyone of their names by heart.

Satakura keeps the most obnoxious peacocks ever known to man. If you think geese are fucking terrifying, this man has trained his peacock to attack people on sight. Especially if they annoy him. Most of the time the peacocks will just go along with his pranks but they can and will wreck havoc when they want to. One time they fucked up Sargain's car and the two are still very much not on speaking terms.

Sandaaru would keep sharks and eels! Though since you really can't...keep them per say he watches them as the marine biologist that he is. Those creatures know him by shadow alone and will swim up to his boat to say hi and some allowed him to pet them. Sometimes he sees dolphins and whales during his trips too.

So the whole Satarakura Jr.and Sandaaru Jr. looking exactly like their dads thing

makes me think of those cartoons where the kids are copies of their same gender parent.

[toku-explained]

Space Ninja Group Jakanja

An assembly of ninja from across the cosmos gathered by Tau Zant, they have come to earth is pursuit of "That", an enigmatic power Tau Zant has foreseen.

The Magerappa are the Jakanja footsoldiers.

Tau Zant is the powerful leader of Jakanja, who 500 years ago leant or "That" and has been trying to bring it about ever since, assembling the 7 Spears in order to do so.

Below Tau Zant are Jakanja's 7 Spears, the elite soldiers he has recruited to his cause.

1st Spear, Furabijou, a master of Bee Ninpou, is responsible for grading the performance of the Ninja sent to earth, marking them as failed on their defeat

2nd Spear, Chubouzu, is leader of the Alien Ninja Corps, with biological motifs and japanese outfits. He fights with his extending rod. He starts seeking the destruction of the Gouraihers in particular.

3rd Spear, Manmaruba has the ability to see the future, which he believes to be immutable. He later takes and adult form and specifically aims to destroy KabutoRaiger for betraying Jakanja.

4th Spear, Wendiinu, a master of Snake Ninpou, when enraged she can go giant and rampage on her own. She is responsible for growing the fallen ninja, she fires the Scroll of Giant Regeneration for fallen Alien Ninja Corps members, sends down a Copy Giant to replicate their appearance for Mechanical Ninja Corps members, for Masked Ninja Corps members she throws down a Dekkamen to absorb their remains and grow them to fit the mask.

5th Spear, Sargain is leader of the Mechanical Ninja Corps, robots combining organic and inorganic concepts. He is actually a tiny entity piloting a suit of armour. Besides his Ninja Corps, he also creates a number of Megatagame robots he pilots against the Hurricangers.

6th Spear, Satarakura commands the Masked Ninja Corps, themes after body parts, who he calls to earth from offworld. A clown like personality, he often jokes with his enemies.

7th Spear, Sandaaru commands the Fan Beast Ninja Corps, mythical beasts he trained and summons from his fan, which do his bidding. The most powerful of the Spears, he has his own ambitions for that "That", scheming against Tau Zant.

[biomic]

when gokaiger brought back satarakura and sandaaru but was like “actually that’s just their sons who look exactly like them”

and the plot of the episode was about them turning people into nuts

SANDAARU JR HAS A DAD BOD

oh so he's a lil buff but got some fluff

Reacting to last few episodes of Nippu Sentai Hurricanger.

4:07 PM 8/1/2020 Nippu Sentai Hurricanger ep49; last scenes.

Why is this tragic music playing during Shurikenger's battle scene?  

Oh no...I just remembered that Super Sentai Hurricanger is a "ninja story".  We know what's the most common trope in a story about ninja...  Ninja sacrificing themselves.  ;~~;   . . . 4:13 PM 8/1/2020 ep50

Wait.  Is Gozen dead too?  Why did she appear in that flash of remembering Shurikenger being dead?  Is that why Shurikenger sacrificed himself?  Gozen was already dead?  

I think I remember these antagonist ninja girls from Gokaiger.  Ever since I started catching Hurricanger on Tokushoutsu, I've been wondering how these 2 kunoichi end up either surviving or defecting away from the villains' side.  

And of course the villain in a ninja story is the one who betrays their master.  Sandaaru.

Wait.  Why did Ikkou and Isshu's mecha blow up?  Did they do that cliche where you stab through yourself to get the enemy?  Haven't seen that since Jin.  I guess we gotta have more ninja sacrificing themselves before the series ends.  ~.~;  I want to go on about how "cliche" it is, but only to blunt the blow of the tragedy.  Because honestly, these tropes really do hit me in the feels!  ;o;!!!  

Oboro and the Headmaster god killed to?!????  Jeeze, how much tragedy does this story need?!?  ;O;!!!  ...Oh, yeah, I forgot:  This is a "ninja story".  Tragedy and everyone dying is kind of the prerogative.  

Wait.  Why aren't they getting into their mecha to fight?  Oh yeah.  First gotta have the unmasked character introduction kata/mie pose sequence at the start of the series' last battle.  I loved that in Gokaiger!  (I'm going to refer to Gokaiger a lot.  It's the only Super Sentai series I've finished.  I barely started with Shinkenger before my source for episodes dried up.)   . . . 4:30 PM 8/1/2020 ep51 "Final Scroll: Wind, Water, Earth".  

Oh, yeah.  Even though the lead Sentai is red like fire, there is no Fire in the Asian fundamental elements set---noWaitaminute!  Yes thre is!  Wind is the one that's missing!  If anything, Wind is considered Ki.  If Fire is there then why isn't the red Sentai representative of Fire?  Is this a ninja thing?  Ninja and the wind?  Probably.  lol  

Tau Zant is back?!  O.o?!  Well, I guess building him up as the final boss, all season, and not giving him the final battle would've been disappointing.

Oh, wait.  He's a conglomeration of all the villain's evil wills?  I thought that trope was only for yokai stories...  But I guess ninja stories do use a lot of magic and blur the line with the yokai genre.  

I like that they won the mecha battle by pretending to be beaten.  They used both the tropes of "an enemy is the most dangerous when about to be killed with a final blow" and "a ninja's primary weapon is deception", to get to Tau Zant's forehead weak spot.  And I also like the trope of "the villain makes an obvious fatal flaw" during battle tactics, rather than just the plot.  I know all these tropes are cliche in Japan, but I re~ally like them~!  ;u;!  It's so weird that at the hint of a cliche trope from American/Hollywood media, I get kind of bored, but I love all these Japanese pop culture tropes from anime, manga, and tokusatsu.  ^.^;  But I guess some things just speak to you, and some things don't.  lol  

The villains have a combined attack "canon" now?  lol  "Falling back from the exploooooooooooooosions!"  LOL    

WAit.  Ikkou and Isshu are still alive?  Well, it is nice to soften the blow of death for a kid's show.  ^.^  And more importantly, they get to fight in the final final battle.  If a series finale battle lacked in fanservice, like the fanserive of seeing all the main characters fighting together, then I'd be disappointed.  

Now that they're doing their poses with minimal costuming, I can see more clearing that they're doing actual kabuki mie poses.  ^o^  I love it!  ^o^  

Of course, Oboro and her dad turn out to still be alive.  LOL  I'm sorry, but I feel RELIEVED!  ;u;!!!!!!  All those tragic deaths, from the previous episodes, all at once, was too much.  ;o;!  I mean, it was really effective for The Feels at the time, but damnit, I watch fun kid shows to get away from my anxiety/depression!  Later, some jerk always comes out of the fandom woodwork to complain about "undoing character deaths is cheap" or "it cheapens the story".  Blahblahblah.  I'm sorry, but if you can't retain the lessons/emotions/revealations you learned when you *thought* tragedy happened, unless the tragedy stays, then I've got to question your ability to learn from events and not take stuff for granted!  All these crybaby fanboys complaining about the effects of a death not staying unless the death stays...I don't think they even got the important effects of a death.  I don't think they really learned what's important.  When a character dies, it's supposed to bring to mind all regrets left unresolved.  And then, more importantly, the surviving character(s) is supposed to resolve to change themselves to not make those same mistakes.  Not the mistake that specifically got the other character killed in their death scene, but the mistakes of all those everyday things that were left unresolved, out of an assumption that there would always be more time with that killed character.  I personally think that striving everyday to guard against making those same mistakes is a whole other, brand new battle, that needs to be taken on everyday.  To me, that's a whole new world of tension and drama that doesn't get erased when the "killed" character returns from the dead.  When the "killed" character gets resurrected, that's the START of a brand new battle, a battle that the surviving character has already proven to have LOST BEFORE.  That's why it became a regret---Though a regret unnoticed until the "killed" character died.  The "killed" character's resurrection inherently has drama because the surviving character might fail again, might prove that they either learned nothing or more tragically, are unable to overcome their everyday flaws, to avoid repeating that same regret.  That's a whole lot more tragic to me than a character staying dead.  (When [spoiler] returned from the dead at the end of Kamen Rider W, I ranted so much against those fanboys complaining that his resurrection "ruined" everything.  Urrrrgh!!!  https://mysticdragon3md3.tumblr.com/post/111356254057/spoilertastic-rant-warning-for-kamen-rider-w)  

But yeah, Gozen and Shurikenger remaining dead works.  I didn't watch many episodes of this season, but there was a lot less connection between the audience and those 2, compared to with the other Hurricanger.  

Is that a persimmon?  He better be eating a persimmon!  ^O^  Can't have a ninja story without eating persimmon!  LOL  

Wait.  Did PlutoTV just cut off the last scene of the last episode?!?!?!  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Oh, good.  Tokushoutsu came back.  I wonder what all that back to back loading was all about?  

I just realized "Ikkou" and "Isshu"...  Doesn't that mean "Let's go together"?  ;U;!  

Aaaaahhhh!  Another trope I love!  Catch something from the master to complete your training!  ^o^  

Are they seriously intercutting between this graduation fight and their future careers?  lol  I guess it makes more sense

Big Shurikenger cameo at the end.  lol  Nice to get all the actors together.  I did like that joke about never really know what Shurikenger's real face was.  

Ah~  I didn't watch the full season, but Super Sentai finale episodes are always satisfying.  ;u;   . . . 5:02 PM 8/1/2020 I guess PlutoTV/Tokushoutsu is starting again with episode 1.  

It was a persimmon in the final episode!  ^o^

Wait.  So the only reason this trio became Hurricanger was because they were the slackers playing hookie while everyone else was attacked?!  LOL  I love that trope.  lol  

But wait...  So did all the other students DIE??????????????  ;O;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!  O~O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Omg.  They just rushed into battle, all at the same time, with no cover, and all obvious moves...  They really are idiots.  lol  I love them.  ;u;  Well, I love knowing how much they're going to grow from this low level. . . . 5:28 PM 8/1/2020 So I went on YouTube to try to find Power Rangers Ninja Storm episode 1, just to compare how they handled their character introductions.  And OMG.  I'm sorry, I hate them.  ~_____~;;;;;;;;;;;;  Everyone is snarky, disrespectful in ways that imply a lack of common compassion, and they're too much dialogue like "dude, I don't get this because I'm totally stupid".  Uuuuuuuuuggh~  ~o~;;;;;;;;;;;;;;  See, this is what I mean by how astonished I am that get sick of American fiction tropes so easily, but inexplicably just eat up those J-pop culture tropes.  ~_~;   . . . 5:31 PM 8/1/2020 Hurricanger ep2

Oh, these are the jobs that tied into the final episode's montage.  I like the lesson about not forgetting the "important Fight in your heart" even while you're doing everyday mundane life.  

Sorry, I'm not paying attention, but I've got stuff to do.  ^^;  Well, looks like Tokushoutsu is ending their Hurricanger marathon block, so I'm going to switch to some studying concentration ASMR.  

Wait.  Gotta listen to Kamen Rider Ichigo's opening theme!  ^O^!!!  "Rider jump!  Rider kick!  Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider!  Rider!  Rider!"  ^U^!!!

Hurricaneger was really good! Compared to other Sentai I’m still surprised how plot-heavy it was but I think it worked really well!

I think the only thing though is that so many episodes are important to the story that filler episodes ended up feeling pretty slow, and it’s strange that the main trio had almost no backstory. Like we know Kouta has a sister and a dead grandmother, and we saw a guy that Yousuke used to know, but that’s really it.

I love the Gourais though. I feel like they were written specifically to appeal to me. I’m trying to come up with a coherent thought about Shurikenger but it’s impossible. I do always appreciate a joke character who ends up making me feel a genuine emotion by the end and his death was really well done. 

The music was really good, the suits are awesome, the robots are pretty solid, the monsters are pretty hit or miss like always.

The guest appearances to play Shurikenger’s disguises are fun but I’m glad they had one of the GoGos and a Timeranger or they would have been lost on me.

I didn’t really care about the villains at all, though. Most of the designs weren’t great (I do like Sandaaru though) and I didn’t feel like their dynamic was that interesting.

I can’t really think of anything else specific I wanted to mention. I really liked Hurricaneger!

My thoughts on the 2nd half of Ep 40

Guy seriously spent the whole time going “I see”, “I know” “So that’s it” and refused to share with the class XD
