In line with the previous post, a sad news to everyone who views and watches this website... My brother Daniel known as GekiDan, passed away at 1:45AM this morning. It was already expected that this day will arrive.
As for everyone's knowledge, my brother was diagnosed with Centronuclear Myopathy since he was 4 years old. It is a condition wherein the muscle cells were not fully developed and tends to weaken and turned smaller as the patient grows up. It is a one in a million case and still has no cure. According to medical researches, only 50 families with a member having the same condition were recorded.
In my brother's case, he stopped walking when he was 5. And his health deteriorates as he grew older. But still, he finished elementary and high school in a normal school as a normal student. He graduated two courses in college, Cartooning and Web Page Designing through a homestudy program with excellent grades. He was able to enjoy his life to its fullest as he meets new friends in and out of the net. He's good friends with Henshin Justice Unlimited people but wasn't able to see them for he passed away earlier the day that we should meet for the last time we gathered up was when we watched Gatchaman on cinema together.
For the past few days, he feels weak and usually got headaches or felt dizziness in which we thought that the complications of his disease started.. He was confined last Friday, December 27th at San Lorenzo Hospital and was transferred yesterday at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute yesterday afternoon. Also, he was blessed by Fr. Charlie, a priest for Sacred Heart Village together with Sr. Nona Parra, a Carmelite nun before he was transferred. We thought that he's been doing fine when he was transferrred but we really do think that he himself doesn't want anymore sufferings and he doesn't want us to see him like that anymore. He left us without saying anything; he just slept and with that, he died early morning of December 30th 2013 at the age of 25.
Kuya Dan, all in all, is a great son, brother and friend. He thinks of others before himself most of the time. He has become a breadwinner of the family. He supported me financially during my last two years in college and when I started my home study program in Comprehensive Art. He also provided us with a brand new car. He worked so hard for us and now it's our turn to return the favor and pay everything forward.
And as a contributor in JEFusion, I plan to continue working with it. This website has done a lot for us... I promise to study everything about the blog and continue.
I'll just inform everyone on where would be the wake. Thank you for being a part of his wonderful and fruitful life!

Thank you Gekidan, for all that you have done. If it weren't for this website I would still have no idea about Kamen Rider or Super Sentai. Because of this my life is now filled with excitement so once more, thank you and goodbye.

My deepest condolences for you and and all of your family, i've never spoken to GekiDan, but your description of him makes me wish that I had.
Rest in Peace, Dan, and thank you.
R.I.P
Rest in Peace Young Hero!! :'(
I am very sad to hear this news; I am a regular visitor of this website and I say condolence to all his loved ones. May his soul rest in peace and more than ever, more power to the entire Jefusion staff. GANBATTE! We will miss you, Mr. Daniel Vilodres! I didn't expect him to be a Filipino too like me...
My condolences to Dan's Family. May he rest in peace and his spirit be carried on by those around him with love.
Nakikiramay po ako sa pagkamatay ng inyong kapatid, na founder pala ng jefusion, GO PINOY and REST IN PEACE GEKIDAN
May he rest with the other wonderful heroes of tokusatsu before him. GekiDan will truly be missed.
(T^T)ゞ
it's sad when a member of 1 Family pass away, but it even sadder when a great person such as Geki-Dan pass away, i hope that his legacy isn't to heavy to bear on your shoulder, and remember, here in Jefusion, we are 1 big Family of fgriends from around the globe, i hope every 1 read this, and coments of what they have on there minds/hearts
R.I.P GEKIDAN..
Really sorry to hear the sad news. He sounded like a great man and a true hero. My prayers are with him and his family.
Take care and may Dan rest in peace.
So he's about my age...
For these few years, i often visit these websites for Tokusatsu update without any care aboout my future.
But unlike me, who's still unemployed and a baggage to my family, he's a hero who can make his friends and family happy even with his handicap and i feel deeply ashamed for my lacks of achievement.
GekiDan's heart is truly a heart of a hero.
RIP, mate.
Saya turut berdukacita sedalam-dalamnya atas meninggalnya daniel (who we known as Gekidan),sungguh informasi dan kreatifitas nya bener2 saya salut...
kuat ,sabar, dan tegar yahh tuk semua yang ditinggalkan olehnya...
Condolence to you and your family., i want to thank him personally for what he have done to all tokusatsu fans out there. Proud ako bilang Pinoy sa lahat lahat ng ginawa nya. it's good to hear. that a Filipino is the reason why all Japanese Entertainment fans all around the world gathered in one place.

He seemed to been a good man.
I hope thing will get better for you.
sorry to hear of his passing.

Thanks Gekidan for everthing... Rest in peace there buddy.
Dear Gekidan, Me, no, all of us, toku fans wanted to thank you for give us this wonderful gift(JEFusion), this site can help us access all toku related things easily. May our prayers with you always, RIP Gekidan.
sorry for your lost dude.
from what I've read he was a great guy
(T_T)>
Thank you gekiDan for informing us about Japanese pop culture. The truth is I dislike what Philippine pop culture has become and this website keep my sanity intact. You provide inspiration to all of us. You did well.
My condolences to the family...
RIP. This site is great site and thank you for the effort. :)
I like all his post,may he rest in peace,he"s good lad & stronghearted ..sorry for your lost
I hope your brother died happy. He and your family will be in our prayers.
Oh that's terrible. I didn't know GekiDan have that condition. My condolences.
I guess this website will never feel the same again with him gone. though I'm sure you will do your best to keep the community together.
I once posted that I admired his tenacity of posting AKB48 content despite obvious lack of viewership and community around them, I came here as a tokusatsu fan, his work is what get me to start knowing AKB. And now I am more fan of AKB than tokusatsu. The result of that the circle of my real life friends that I hang up often also changed. The small ripple he started inspired the change in my life. He will be greatly missed.
oh that's terrible news. I didn't know that GekiDan has that condition. my condolences.
I'm sure you will keep the community together, but things will never be the same without him.
I once posted how I admired his tenacity of postinig AKB48 content despite the lack of viewership and discussion surrounding them.
I came to this blog as a tokusatsu fan, and it is my first contact to AKB48. Nowadays I am more of an AKB48 fans now. The circle of friends who I hang up with also changed due to that. I dare say the ripple GekiDan created changed my life. He will be missed.
i am sorry to hear of your lost. I wish the best for your family and friends.
Goodbye, great man of otakus. We shall forever re-enact our henshin poses in your name until the cosmos no longer exist.
Thanks and good luck from the other side of the planet. Im truly sorry
Rest in peace
Im truly sorry, good luck from the other side of the planet, Rest In Peace
Idol coming from someone growned to sentai and masked/kamen rider salamat! You brought me back to my younger side and will be very thankful sa lahat ng nagawa mo! Kudos to you i couldnt think someone this talented could be taken this early. You did alot for us, and would like to say my thank you! Salamat ulit bro and may you rest in peace!
This is very sad to hear. Your family will stay in my prayers. It's good to see that you will continue on with something that meant a lot to him and other toku fans. Thank you for that.
Oh my. What's going to happen with the stream one?
May His heart and soul find peace and comfort.
i'm sorry for your loss, i offer my condolences
i'm sorry for your loss, my condolences sir
Oh wow...i thought this was some kind of a sick joke, but sadly it looks like that is not the case.
I greatly appreciate the hard work GekiDan has put into this site. I love having all the toku news and the occasional anime/game news collected onto one place.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
What a great example! My prayers for you and your family, your brother for sure is in a better place.
I just wanted to leave my condolences, and be the first to express how much joy this site has brought my friends and I. We're huge tokusatsu nerds and there's so much joy for us when a new announcement or rumor drops.
GekiDan has done so much for this community with JEFusion, and I encourage you to keep it going in his absence. We all know you can do it, and have faith in you to do so. Grace, mercy and peace be with you in his stead. GANBARIMASHOU
RIP Daniel Villodres
My condolences. His memories will live forever in one of my favorite websites, JEFusion.
your brother seems like an awesome person im sorry for your loss i bet he will be watching over you now
Gekidan was a great member of the community and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
My condolences go out to you and your family. Rest in peace GekiDan. And thank you for creating such a splendid blog. We are always in your debt.
Magnum,
I feel really sorry to hear this sad news. Please accept my deepest condolences, to you and all your family members who are left behind. Your lost is ours too, and your grieve is us to bear as well. May you all be given the strenght and comfort to walk through this time of sadness.
I've been visiting this site frequently for quite some time, from occasionally, to weekly and then daily. So reading this news totally gave me the biggest shock that I didn't even realize tears were already flowing from my eyes. It came in like a storm, without notice, without any warning. It's not something I expected to hear, especially at the end of a fine year for the site. It's truly a sad day for us all.
Please continue running this site, cause I'm sure that's what Gekidan wants; that his legacy will keep on living in the hands of those who cares for him. We will do our share by continue being a frequent visitor and supporter for his site as well. However, don't ever hesitate if you want to take your time of silence for a while. Losing someone precious takes time to heal, I've been there so I understand how hard you are feeling right now... but worry not, we'll be right here, awaiting for Jefusion to return with all it's glory. Perhaps even better, and slowly becoming the best... just like what its founder had always aimed for.
Thank you Gekidan, for all your efforts and dedication to this site. I wish I could've known you better, but even so I still feel like I've just lost an important part of my daily life. One thing for sure, you will be dearly missed. Rest in peace Gekidan, for now you're in a happy place where there are no pain and sadness anymore. I'm sure this message will get to you, cause I'm sure somewhere out there, you're looking down upon us, proofreading every comments and replying with the warmest smile, knowing that there are many who already missed you so. You've given so much in such a short life you had, but your hardwork will live on to the end of days.
Thanks so much for being a part of our lives!
Wow, speechless. Long time reader/fan, and had no idea about his life. Rest in peace, and may the power protect him!
Here's hoping to the continuation of a great site!
many condolences to u n ur family
hope dat the legacy will continue
i will always be ur no 1 fan
the spirit of Gekidan will never fade..always
may he rest in peace :(
if it helps out any, I will do whatever I can to help you guys out with this blog trying to find news for Tokusatsu...even if I have to see it on another blog first; we have got to keep this going since a classmate of mine & I are going to be very impacted by hearing this (& that's just on a personal level with me)
Rest in peace, GekiDan.
JEFusion is a nice Japanese entertainment site.
I am so very sorry. :-(
I am truly sorry for your loss. You have my sympathy. I've been going to this website for who knows how long reading articles that were important to me. I think a lot of them were from Gekidan. I shall pray for him. He shall truly be missed.

Sorry for your loss.

Best of luck with your family with this tragedy around the holidays. Thanks for you and your bros hard work!
These are sad news... I wish I could say thank you to GekiDan... This is my primary site of tokusatsu news and I basically was initiated to that world thanks to GekiDan's work... Good bye GekiDan... Wherever you are, I hope you are better and can meet some of your heroes that already aren't with us anymore.
So sad for all of us, such a fighter human being....thank you Daniel, thank you GekiDan, thank you JEFusion...... saraba, god'll give you best place brother

Condolence to you and your family.
My heartfelt condolences goes out to him, his family and friends.
I've often lurk on his website for years on a daily basis. It was nice to see good website that focuses on the tokusatsu genre.
Its really sad to hear about this but I'm sure he would want everyone to continue forward with life and support the things he loved.
Salamat sa lahat ng ginawa mo, Dan. RIP :(
Salamat sa lahat ng ginawa mo, Dan. RIP :(
Rest In Peace, Sir. We all pray for you and your family and you have our most sincere gratitude for the work you did. I hope some Riders and Rangers guide you to the heavens ;)
*claps* He lived an amazingly life. Thanks GekiDan, you were an odd lighthouse in my quest for knowledge involving Toku and more, but definitely a favorite.
My Heart goes out to you and your family.
GekiDan lived his life to the best. Turning Life's Lemons into the greatest party he could muster. He was a hero to anyone who had wanted to turn disability into possibility and he strove to become the Heroic Red Ranger, half of us can only hope to be.
I hope he is enjoying his afterlife in a better place... Like a private island with a cabaña, A Hyper DJ system with surround sound speakers that could shake mountains, an advanced computer system to design galaxies for our universe, gaming consoles century's ahead of what we got, and 5-8 swimming pools with really hot pool bunnies to chill and game with.
Rest well Hero, Rest well.
From one of your many, many readers, Anon E. Moose.
I am sorry for your loss. God bless him.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss

I'm sure the pain is unbearable.

Words cannot describe how sorry I feel right now. I express all of my fullest and sincerest apologies, my condolences to Dan. He was such an inspiration to us all, and his legacy, shall never be forgotten. He is a toku fan like all of us, one of the highest rank. He has donee such amazing things during his life. He will surely be dearly missed amongst all of us toku fans. I am sure that every Kyoryuger, and Gaim member is crying right now. GekiDan, we will always, and forever, love you! DOMO Arigato gozeimasta, MagiDan.
My condolences... from a brazilian fan.
A real Hero for bringing joy to the lives of all rider and sentai fans without asking for any rewards in return.
A shining example for the younger generations of rider and sentai fans to follow.
Rest in Peace GekiDan!
May your spirit live on in JEFusion!
My sympathies and condoleances for your loss. Gekidan was a good soul and I will be forever grateful as a toku fan.
I'm so sorry it happened now.
i hope the least we can all do is keep his memory alive by keeping the site he loved and created for us alive, thanks to him i saw some of my favorite sentai teams and anime updates

I feel for you. May he be in a better place.
I'm so sorry for loss
Aside from being a really cool guy to the tokusatsu community, it's also fascinating to hear how wonderful a provider he was and just how much he was able to accomplish even considering his lifelong condition. I should think you are probably quite proud to have been Daniel's brother. I don't have much to say that will ease your pain. But everyone in the community is grateful to have had a chance to know him through a common set of interests. I offer prayers to your family in this time of mourning. God bless you.
I honestly don't know enough sites that not only cover toku news but also other topics I like, like jojo or Hunter X Hunter things of that nature. You're site is actually the first thing I look at whenever I start my day. I really like it and if you can keep it going, I will continue to support this site as a loyal viewer and that means something reading this.. I am very sorry for your loss. I will forever be in yours and GekiDan's debt. Thank You.
NOOOOOOO!!!!!
My regards to Gekidan's family and friends...
Thank you for everything you'he done for us. R.I.P
condolence. He really a great guy -_-
Sorry.
My feelings.
Despite being a regular visitor of this website, I had no idea that GekiDan had such a condition. I offer my deepest condolences, and I'm certain that he's resting peacefully in the afterlife right now - knowing that the site (his beloved creation) is in the best hands.
RIP GekiDan. He's in a better place now.
RIP, Dan. You made a wonderful site. I hope you're kicking monster butt, up there in heaven.
RIP Dan! This blog has provided us so much. We are grateful to have been your visitors.
I discovered this blog only a few months ago because I started watching Super Sentai, but, since then I come here everyday.
I didn't about the story of the founder, but it is sad that such a great person left us.
My condolences to the family and friends of the founder.
nakikiramay kami bro.
I have always visit this site ever since a friend told me about it a year ago. Thanks GekiDan.
rest in peace... thanks for all his contribution...
my deepest condolences.. ):
i hope your brother will be given place right next to God..
amen
btw, what is your nationality?
RIP Gekidan
My condolences go out to the entire family, GekiDan will be missed.
rest in peace!
I'm so sorry for you're loss, R.I.P Dan.
Poopadoop.
Gone, but never forgotten. You're still missed. I hope GekiDan is in a better place.
Still to this day, this website is still growing strong. Thank you for everything. R.I.P the strong GekiDan.
5 years ago today and the pain I felt when I first heard the news still has not left my heart. Still, even though he is long gone, the site has thrived over the past 5 years and continues to bring fresh toku news to its fans.
The people at JEFusion are simply amazing and for what you guys do I say thank you and God bless you!
It has now been 7 long years since GekiDan died and JEFusion is still the best toku website out there. I miss him a lot but everyone who works on the site are doing an excellent job. Thank you so much for keeping JEFusion alive.
Have a great year of success in 2021!
