Originally posted by the good people at Toei as an April Fool's joke trailer which is set to premiere in April 1, 2099, it is confirmed that past Super Sentai villains from, Gekiranger, Shinkenger, Gokaiger and Go-Buster will return in the upcoming Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger VS SPACE SQUAD movie!
Yes, Yuka Hirata (Mele), Mitsuru Karahashi (Juzu Fuwa), Kei Hosogai (Basco) and Ayame Misaki (Escape) will all reprise their Super Sentai villain roles who are all revived by Global Ninja Jiraiya's enemy, Space Ninja Demosuto.
"Four years have passed since the Kyurangers defeated Don Almage, the universe is now at peace but all of that suddenly changed when one of the Kyurangers, Hammie attacked the rebellion and stole the Neo Kyutama!
Space Federation President Tsurugi Ohtori declares his former ally as a fugitive and this has caused a major rift between the members of the Kyurangers. Amidst all of this, Space Sheriffs Gavan and Shaider appears."

As much as I am so happy to see Mele again, I must ask... How? I thought after using the resurrection technique on her and Rio in the Gekiranger-Go Onger crossover they would be permanently dead, if not having their souls eroded away
ReplyDeleteNo bad guys ever really die in these shows, don't take these seriously
DeleteNot to mention, since Gokaiger is CANON to the Space Squad side, why is Mele, a reformed villain and Extra Hero, now a villain again? If they at least explain why she's a bad guy again, that's fine, but otherwise, nice as it is to see Yuka Hirata as Mele again, she should not be here at all.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, Toei openly employs plot holes and mischaracterizations just of the sake of a plot to make them money.
Now those are some nice villains and I'm pretty happy they're back. Here are my predictions on their roles in the movie:
ReplyDeleteMele - She's not really evil and will sort of be a mirror or a mentor to Hammie, as both are chameleon theemed characters.
Juuzo - He's back for blood and wants a good swordfight. He'll get some cool action scenes against Jiraiya.
Basco - He Always was a total asshole who wanted all for himself. I think he'll try to usurp power from his new commanders. I really hope he gets to use some ranger Keys and that Sally doesn't come back.
Escape - She's a wild card. Can't really predict her role.
It looks like they're being recreated, and not the originals. as all of these have been killed off. Escape is the only one who could realistically return as the same as she's a program that could have had backups made. I'm fine with that, they bring back villains once and awhile, and it makes more sense to bring back a villain that's been dead and resurrect them instead of a villain that may have turned to the side of good. (though I'd prefer villains that were imprisoned as their conclusion)
ReplyDeleteI love how the main villain look like Alpha 5.
