I just want to say that they made my days the happiest, I will miss them.

goodbye donbrothers 💔

[scoups4lyfe]

JUST LIKE THAT?!?!

🤝

fr fr fr

that wasn't even a story LOL

a-

Sonoza's here

LMAO

what did you expect outside business hours

Sonoza doesn't even know it's you

[eclipse-song]

I was thinking about how the new nouto enemies in donbros feel like highschool bullies then I remembered there was some whole scene from the Sonoshi debut ep that got cut for time where Sonoi said that Sonoshi hates him for winning the student council election in highschool and Sononi and Sonoza said they used to get bullied in highschool by them. This crew is literally the highschool bully clique. This is so funny.

321 for Nouto trio fun

"Do you ever think that, if given the chance, the others would have had their own Donbrother?" Sonoi asked as the three Nouto skidded behind a wall, in their armored forms, weapons drawn despite not wanting to be seen.

"What brought this on?" Sononi asked, peering around a corner, Sonoza doing the same above her as Sonoi did the same above him.

"Well, I 'have' Tarou, you 'have' Inuzuka Tsubasa, and Sonoza 'has' Haruka, but Shinichi, Kijino Tsuyoshi, and Momotani Jirou don't particularly get along with any of the Nouto. And Sono456 did come to Earth as well."

"Certainly there is a better time to ask this than when who knows what are searching for us." The three of them dipped down.

Next to Sononi, Sonoza nodded, rather frantically.

"You're right," Sonoi sighed, opening a Door so that the three of them could escape, making sure that the other two went ahead of him once he checked for danger.

---

"Somehow, I think Sonoshi would have gotten along with Shinichi if given a chance," Sonoi said as the three of them caught their breath in an abandoned warehouse, dropping their armor and checking that they hadn't sustained any injuries. It didn't appear that they had, thankfully, although Sonoi was going to have to speak to Tarou about this possible new threat.

"Who wants to think about that?" Sononi said, giving Sonoi a look of sheer disapproval and disgust.

"Would Sonoroku get along with Momotani Jirou?" Sonoza asked as his hands flapped, eyes rolling a bit. He seemed to agree that Shinichi would get along with Sonoshi, as far as Sonoi could figure out.

"I was thinking the same, but that would leave Kijino Tsuyoshi with Sonogo…"

At that thought, the three of them shuddered. There wasn't any point in "assigning" a Donbrother to Sonona or Sonoya, though, even if it was Kijino Tsuyoshi, so no one suggested that as a possible alternative.

[ichigoichiesworld]

Only the moon knows

I love seeing them together

Btw, according to a jfan’s tweet, in the FLT, they revealed the Nouto’s real names

Sonoi is Soclaudius Sonoi, Sononi is Diana Elizabeth Sononi Sonoza is Alexander Sonoza

LOL

Just a rumor, please take it with a grain of salt

[skajador]

I think it won't happen

but what should happen is Sonoza and Sononi should unearth some sort of Nouto council loophole where if Tarou and Sonoi get married it forms a rock solid alliance between the groups and they have to stop fighting

[meltorights]

just realized the new nouto trio parallels sonoi sonoza and sononi in having two horny ones and one goofy one

[ginnyn]

Here's Kaito with the Sword!

The Mochi thing seems to be way more widespread than I thought.

This is to me the weirdest screenshot of this trailer by far

I find funny that the Donbros part of the trailer is kinda, interpersonal drama and the Zenkai part is running away and mochi.

Kinda worried that there's almost not scenes of the Zenkaiger and the Donbrothers interacting with each other, just a couple of moments of I guess is the final fight. Also, the Noutos and Murasame are not in the Title Formation, which is also weird. I guess is because there's so much overlap between the two Suit Actors teams they needed to make some cuts maybe? Like, someone else have to do Kiji Brother so his Suit Actor can do Zenkaizer, or someone else have to do Zenkai Magine so her suit actor can do Oni Sister (Just examples from my head), I dunno really

AHHHH, Gaon with Haruka, Juran with Inuzuka, like it should. Hopefully Magine and Kijino are flying around

Now I'm realizing Tarou wins some Kikanoid colored decorations in his arm band. And those are Kikanoid colored because the last ribbon is red. It's like little wings if you catch my drift.

Already 2 people have told me Sonoi is at the Oden Cart, which is most probably true, but he's not dressed either blue (you know, his color) or white (The color of the Oden Vendor's uniform, unless this is actually a problem with me and the lighting). His feathers are also uncolored for some reason. Also, this is his only shot in the trailer (Sonoza and Sononi at least appear in 2 more) so my point still stands, where are you? You seem to be missing all the chaos for some reason!

And you know what else is missing? Zenkaizer Black! This Sonoi screenshot and Zenkaizer Black/Donbros!Kaito missing could be related?!

Of course I'm spitballing, but who knows at this point.

I'm so fucking hype you don't understand....

I'm literally going to scrub all the scenes in the Donbros vs Zenkai trailer, because I'm so happy for it

Here's Tarou and Jirou somewhere. I assume somewhere classy, since suit and the alcohol

Scenes I don't have much to say

First time I'm noticing the donbrothers glasses have those decorations like when transformed.

They seem to have transformed Donbura back to Colorful, somehow. I mean, you almost never see again the base of the old team in this teams up, but it seems Donbura being Black and White Colorful actually helped a lot with it.

I wanna know who liked the Mochi Wald episode so much we're basically having it again.

Kaito's dad is getting kidnap by pirates this time. Look, I don't have the best opinion of Zocks as a person, he's great as a character, but as a person keep him very far away from me, but this is Kaito's dad

That's a Sentai Gear he's holding. If I have to guess, he's the Kikai-ki and kidnapped Kaito's dad so he could force him to do some fake Tojirou Gears, instead of forcing Flint, because he's really nice with his family, and the first Fake Tojiro Gear created was the Mochi World Gear. Eventually the Avataro Gear is going to jump ship, I assume to the Wald, and we're going to have a classic enemy combination again, finally.

Of course, I'm always wrong, so, don't even take this seriously.

By the background, I think this is Stacy at the Crocodai-oh, and, the one in the foreground... seems to be Hakaizer????

Considering Hakaizer is Proto-Zenkaizer, maybe Kaito's dad decided to give himself a Gearlinger. Why not?

I'm more interested in the flyers in the background honestly. The resolution is not very good, but I think Gaon is there somehow.

And now they are in a weird laboratory of sorts. Maybe here is where they do the fake Tojirou Gears (Or, it is the Mochi World trapped yet again. Who knows)

It seems the one who's going to keep Donbura is going to be Don Murasame, which is a very Donbros!Kaito thing to do

Here's Gaon and Kaito probably doing some Mochi Dealing in the back alleys... the thing that gets me the most is the fact Kaito is using 2 pairs of sunglasses. The Super Sentai Costume team are back with the little jokes for this man wardrobe and I cannot be happier

Where the heck are you Sonoi?

Look at the person at the end of the formation.

HE CAN TRANSFORM BACK

SOMEHOW

GOOOOOOOOO

IT'S HAKAIZER IN THE DONBROS SIDE OF THE FORMATION! (Between Tarou and Saruhara)

Now I can forgive them for not give me TwokaiFlint. It's still a loss, but I can forgive

Also, the VS using the styling of the Gears is so cute.

This is not the best shot of this two, but Gold goes with Gold I guess

I understand the reason of the Armor switch. I don't think either of them look very good, but ok.

And Secchan is the last shot.

Here's the collectibles!

The Sword has by the side images of the Kikanoid gears in it so, MAYBE they are going to fuse Don Murasame style into the sword? I dunno, I just want to describe my Zenkaiger collection as "I have him, I have him in black and white, I have all this four, I have the gun that made them one, I have all the Red's DLC and I have all this four as a sword"

I just think that might be a very Zenkaiger thing to do.

And MAYBE they are going to explain the True Hero thing. Who knows at this point

[luciient]

au where everything in donbrothers stays the same except the notos all have features of the stuff theyre based off of (well at least i think sononi's based off a cat anyway... cmiiw)

naturally this means tarou has a fat ass

[t-u-i-t-c]

Sonoza → One Gif Per Episode (41-50)

Sonoza fr fr a hardcore editor gohtdang

for the shxt she's been writing she's surprisingly level-headed about this :D

I love this goal of hers though ;_;

it's so cute to want to become closer to the nouto

[eclipse-song]

Looked for the nouto plushies last night on a proxy site but I forgot they are only Just coming out so they’re really expensive. Currently there are 0 Sonoi ones for sale and the Sononi is $85 while Sonoza is around $75

[stickers-on-a-laptop]

Remember, Sonoi/Taro because they deserve it

I am missing you (do you remember me?)

Sonoza looked at Sonoi in shock before going around and confirming what had happened. Yes, Sonoi was dead. He stomped his foot before throwing Sonoi into a fireman’s carry and opening a door to Cafe Donbura. 

“Momoi Tarou! You’re needed!” he barked, startling Saruhara and Haruka, who were discussing Haruka’s manga, which was spread over the table they were sharing. 

“What is it, Sonoza?” Tarou asked, standing up from the counter. 

“Get him alive again,” Sonoza said, pushing Sonoi into Tarou’s arms. 

“Again?” Haruka and Saruhara chorused. 

“And now, a haiku: 

An unbitten peach

Falls off of the tree and rolls 

A glittering fate.”

“What’s going on now?” Inuzuka asked as Tarou ignored Saruhara in favor of taking Sonoi out of the cafe. 

“Sonoi’s dead,” Haruka said, picking up a marker and carefully filling in the lines of her art as Saruhara wrote his haiku down. 

“Ah.” 

---

Sonoi sat up, the juice disappearing as he did so. 

“How do you feel, Sonoi?” Tarou asked, holding out a hand to help Sonoi out of the coffin. 

“Who are you?” Sonoi asked in reply. “Why do you know my name?” 

There was some glances from the people behind the person asking the question. 

“Does he not remember Momoi-san?” 

“What is this, a cliche manga? He better remember him!” was the hissed reply. 

Sononi and Sonoza pushed their way to the coffin. “Sonoi. You remember us, right?” Sonoza demanded. 

“Sonoza, Sononi, of course I do. We’re Nouto. Why are there humans here?” 

The young woman tossed her hands up. “You cannot be serious! Sonoza, if I wrote a manga like this, what would you do?” 

Sonoza looked at her, considering the question. “Rip it to pieces.” 

“See! This is too stupid!” she stomped out of the room before coming back in. “Actually, Tarou, you should try kissing him, if it’s gonna be all cliche like this!” 

Sonoi noticed that the man in traditional Japanese mourning clothes suddenly looked disgusted before the man who was behind Sononi and Sonoza came back up to him, looking thoughtful. 

“Would you mind if I kissed you?” 

Sonoi leaned back. He was pretty sure he’d mind, yes. 

“Well, there you have it,” said the man in the traditional wear. “Sonoi has lost his memories, so…” 

“Does this usually happen?”

“No,” Sononi answered for the man who had asked. “We are Nouto, after all. Even the first time, he didn’t forget, did he? Just acted like Tarou.”  

“Was Inuzaka-san around for that one?” 

Sonoi had had enough. He got out of the coffin and opened a door to anywhere. 

---

After wandering for a bit, he sat down at a set of steps, the air cooling down as the sun set. The moon was out already, peeking out from some clouds. Something was in his pocket, he realized, and pulled out a handkerchief with polar bears on it. He stared at it. Where was his? 

“Sonoi,” said a voice. Sonoi looked up to find the man who had offered to kiss him holding out a can of coffee. He was in a white delivery boy outfit, and Sonoi had the jarring feeling of seeing him in a different outfit, one of blue and red. “I know you do not remember me, but we have a bond that I find difficult to ignore, after all…” 

Sonoi hesitated before accepting the can. 

“What is your name?” 

“Momoi Tarou. You…you called me Tarou, at the end.” 

“Tarou, then,” Sonoi said, getting another flash of deja vu as Tarou sat next to him, especially as Tarou looked towards the moon and not the setting sun. Maybe they really had known each other. “Who were the others at the funeral?” 

“Haruka-tachi, you mean?” 

“Yes.” 

Tarou gave a little smile. “My companions. The Donbrothers.” 

Sonoi stood up, nearly spilling his coffee. “You are my enemy, then.” 

“You were, at first. Now, we are all companions. You can ask Sononi or Sonoza, if you don’t believe me.” 

Sonoi thought about doing just that, or opening a door to get out of there, but in the end, he sighed and sat back down next to Tarou, who looked slightly relieved. 

“I didn’t remember them or you, either, up until recently,” Tarou offered. “And then you died, after we met the Zenkaigers.” 

“I…died?” 

“We both have, several times.” 

Sonoi didn’t know what to make of that, staring at his coffee can. 

“Would you like to get some oden?” 

Oden. Now that word seemed to bring up many feelings, despite not knowing what it was. 

“I…think so, yes.” 

Tarou gave him a smile, and something in Sonoi’s heart did a funny thump. 

---

Tarou watched as Sonoi carefully took a bite of egg, wondering if this was how the other Donbrothers felt when he couldn’t remember them. Sonoi had clearly avoided Tarou during that time, which Tarou supposed he understood. It was painful, to be somewhere with someone who was supposed to share the memory with you. But while Tarou was used to being alone, he didn’t want to leave Sonoi. Not after the memory loss he had just recovered from. 

“Is it good?” Tarou asked quietly. 

“Very,” Sonoi replied. 

They ate in silence after that, not as comfortable as it should have been. 

“Do you have a place to stay?” Tarou asked once they had returned their bowls. 

“Would I not just stay in Ideon?” 

Tarou shook his head. He didn’t understand everything that had happened, but from what Sonoza had told him before he had come to find Sonoi, it sounded like they were banned. “Sonoza often stays with Saruhara, although you could stay with me.” 

Sonoi stood up. “I will stay with this Shinichi, if he will have me. I do not know you, but if Sonoza is there, he can explain more of what has happened.” 

Tarou couldn’t help feeling disappointed, then frowned. “Shinichi? How do you know Saruhara’s name, if I’ve never said it?” 

Sonoi looked confused, then frowned as well. “I’m not sure.” 

The pang that Sonoi would remember Saruhara over him hurt more than the initial disappointment of Sonoi not wanting to stay with him, but Tarou still brought Sonoi over to the old house that Saruhara lived in. 

“Yes, coming,” Tarou heard Saruhara say, sighing in slight relief. 

Sonoi studied him with a frown. “You are glad about something.” 

“Saruhara had…changed with Jirou in charge. I do not always get along with him, but that version of him was unbearable.” 

The door opened and Saruhara was there, frowning slightly. 

“What is it, Tarou?” 

“Is Sonoza here?”

“Yes, he’s on a video call with Haruka, why?” 

“Sonoi needs a place to stay for the night.” 

“I can pay,” Sonoi offered, only for Saruhara to shudder. 

“Don’t worry about that. You may stay, there is plenty of room.” 

Tarou stepped aside to allow Sonoi in. 

Saruhara peered at him. “Tarou…would you like to stay as well?” 

He did, but wasn’t going to admit it. 

The world went dark. 

---

“Is he okay?” Sonoi asked, Shinichi dragging in Tarou. 

“He lied, so he’s dead, but he’s fine, yes. You’d think he’d be over this.” Shinichi gave Tarou’s body a little kick. 

“He…dies when he lies?” 

Shinichi rolled his eyes. “Indeed he does. Anyway, you two will be sharing a room, as Haruka has suggested doing the things people do in dramas, as she said.” 

“Dramas?” 

“Television programs. I do not watch them myself, but as not many are interested in the wabisabi ways…” he trailed off. 

“We… were friends, were we not?” Sonoi said, watching Shinichi. 

There was some very slight preening from Shinichi. “Yes, we’ve worked together a few times.” 

“Funny that you remember him and not Tarou,” Sonoza said around a mouthful of banana, having wandered in. 

“He’ll recall his memories in full, I’m sure,” Shinichi said. “Nouto are supposed to be based off brain waves, after all, no?” 

Sonoza flapped his hands as he nodded. “Ideon is, yeah.” 

“Then it’ll all work out.” 

Tarou awoke then, frowning. “Why am I on the floor?” 

“You died again,” Shinichi said briskly. “You may stay here, I’ll set up some futons.” he disappeared up the stairs. 

“You’re not human, are you, Tarou?” Sonoi asked as Tarou stood up. 

“No.”

---

Tarou couldn’t sleep. Sonoi had fallen asleep quickly, inasmuch as Tarou could tell, but he was still awake, staring at the ceiling. 

He extracted himself from the futon in silence, wanting some warm milk. Hopefully Saruhara would have that, considering Sonoza was often there. 

When he got to the kitchen, he found Saruhara at the table, sewing. 

“Oh.” 

“Tarou,” Saruhara said in greeting. “Go ahead.” 

Tarou got out the milk, using the gas stove to heat it. He made enough for two, which seemed to surprise Saruhara, just a tad. 

“Do you really think Sonoi will regain his memories?” Tarou asked after a while. 

“Considering the patterns we’ve had, yes,” Saruhara said calmly, his hands wrapped around his mug. “You die, you come back, you fight, you die, you come back, you fight. You lost your memories, and they came back. However, if you’re that worried, you could ask Master about your points.” 

Tarou knew that all the members had enough to make Sonoi recall his memories, if they so wished, but with them having almost left, he felt it’d be a bad idea to ask for them to waste their points, especially with everyone acting sure that Sonoi would regain his memories on his own.  

“Having Sonoi help you with your work couldn’t possibly hurt,” Saruhara said as he got up, rinsing out his mug. “Bring him to places that you two know.” 

Tarou nodded, getting up and draining his mug, rinsing it out like he had seen Saruhara do. 

“Thank you.” 

“You’re welcome.” 

---

Sonoi waited as Tarou filled his van with packages. This did seem oddly familiar, although he had certainly never done this on Ideon. 

“Okay, let’s go.” 

Sonoi obediently followed Tarou into the vehicle, wondering why he was bothering. Sonoza had sent him off, though, telling him that he had to help “Haruka” with a deadline, and Sononi was nowhere to be found, so it wasn’t like his options were great. 

It went smoothly, and it was surprisingly nice, going around delivering packages. As Tarou said, they were delivering joy. Even the grumpy people trying to find a pen or their stamps had little slivers of joy as they accepted their packages. 

“Where to now?” Sonoi asked once all the packages were delivered. 

“This was only half, but it’s my lunch break, so Cafe Donbura and then back to work to get the other half.” 

Sonoi nodded, and the two of them got back into the van, Tarou carefully driving just like he had been the entire time. 

Once they were there, Sonoi felt a rush of dizziness. This must have been a place of many memories. Tarou easily caught him, supporting him as he brought them inside.

“May I take your order?” 

Sonoi couldn’t keep the shock out of his voice. “Murasame?”

“Murasame, I will take their orders.” 

“Yes, Master.” 

A young man in black looked over Sonoi carefully. Sonoi would have squirmed if he wasn’t a Nouto. 

“You have forgotten, haven’t you, Sonoi.” 

“Apparently I have.” 

The owner seemed to be about to say something when the young woman who had marched out of the funeral barged in. 

“Hey, Master, I wanna sundae! Oh, hey Tarou! Have you kissed him yet?” 

“Why would Tarou kiss me?” Sonoi asked with a frown. 

“To get your memory back, duhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Everyone knows it’s a cliche trope but still, couldn’t hurt, could it?” 

Sonoi wasn’t sure about that one. He knew enough about human desire to know that kissing ended up causing a lot of trouble, either from wanting it or not wanting it. 

“I am not going to force a kiss on Sonoi if he does not want it.” 

“Well, don’t blame me when this takes forever, then!” 

---

Sonoi was quiet as they got in the van again. The food had been delicious, and familiar, and sometimes he thought he could get a glimpse into the memories he had lost, but they were gone by the time he tried to grasp them. 

“Do you want to go back?” Tarou asked. “I can drop you off before I go back to work.” 

Sonoi was about to answer, but instead, he covered Tarou’s mouth, concentrating. 

“Hitotsuki,” he said, opening a door, surprised when Tarou followed him through. 

The door led them to a quarry, where Sononi and Sonoza were working with an Oni, a monkey, a dog, and a pheasant. 

“Avatar Change!” 

Sonoi watched in shock as Tarou transformed into Don Momotaro, someone he had been told to fight. 

“COMPANIONS! I HAVE ARRIVED!” Tarou shouted, so unlike the person he had been hanging out with all day. Sonoi cursed and transformed as well, needing the Hitotsuki to be dealt with. 

As he fought, the Donbrothers working in tandem with Sononi and Sonoza, he realized he had done this before. In fact, he had fought Don Momotaro and regretted it the second he had fallen. 

The sea and the sky. 

The moon is a liar. 

Those phrases floated into his mind, and with them, his memories came back, a rush of sound and visions, causing him to fall down, clutching his head. 

“SONOI!” Sononi and Sonoza screamed. 

He couldn’t focus on them, too caught up in watching Tarou speed up his attacks and quickly defeating the Hitotsuki, the dragon of the team coming in to defeat the larger version, which allowed Tarou to come rushing over. 

“Sonoi?” Tarou asked, looking surprisingly scared. “Are you okay?” 

“Yes, I’m fine, Tarou.” 

“Didja get your memories back?” Haruka asked, running over. 

At Sonoi’s nod, she jumped up, punching the air. “Good! Guess we don’t need that cliche after all!” 

Sonoi laughed, coaxing Tarou down. “If I wanted to kiss you, would that be okay?” 

Tarou gave him a smile. “Yes.” 

Sonoi kissed him, ignoring the surprised shouts of Kijino and Inuzuka and the outraged yells of Haruka, who was apparently getting her eyes covered by Shinichi, in favor of kissing Tarou deeply. 

When they broke apart, it was just them left, making Sonoi chuckle, bringing his forehead to Tarou’s. 

“I’m glad I remembered.” 

“I’m glad you remembered, as well.”
