Finally the long wait is over as we now have the first batch of scans from the first quarter toy catalog for the newest team of dinosaur (yes, dinosaurs) knights: Kishiiryu Sentai Ryuusouger!
And here are some information straight from Dukemon himself:
-The RyuuSouls seem to be "knight spirits" of some kind. They are definitely like RangerKeys, and install in the mecha. The two sets are many different kinds of dinosaurs, so it's basically a mashup of Ranger Keys and ZyuDenChi. I'm in trouble.
-The RyuuSou Joint ports on KishiRyuuOh are new, and lego-like.
-Triceratops should be "TriKen" as it's a sword. Still not sure what kind of weapon Akyloze is.
-The three initial mechs combine to form KishiRyuuOh 3 Knights. It's one part gattai, and one part armament. It's still mostly KishiRyuuOh. (Could LupinMagnum have been a test for this line?)
-TigerLance combines with 3 Knights to form KishiRyuuOh TigerLance. This 4-combo seems to actually have a new head.
-MilNeedle (seemingly a stegosaur) combines with 3 Knights to form KishiRyuuOh MilNeedle.
-The Henshin Sound for the RyuusouChanger is "Ryuusou Cool!" (Sounds like You So Cool!) RyuusouChanger comes with another Red RyuuSoul.
-The RyuuSouKen comes with another Soul I can't read. Soko? Tsuko? Something like that.
-Can't make out the names of the other Souls, but like the ZyuDenChi and KyuTama, they definitely give mini power-boosts/attacks. (One says MukiMuki, like Muscular.)
-The RyuuSouBuckle comes with another Soul, and can store 3 souls, as well as holding the RyuuSouKen
Now that everything has been confirmed, what are your thoughts about the newest Super Sentai team?
Well considering the fact Kyoryuger was 5 seasons old it kinda breaks the tradition.
ReplyDeleteagain with the dinosaurs?
ReplyDeleteI love dinasurs and I am a big kyoryuger fan but I will honest I am ver dissapointment we gonna get 4 dinosaur . This looks like a big rechas of ideas .They have the colors as kyoryugers . I know that Lupat have a very poorly toy sells but do you think this is good idea to keep your franchise live by repating the same idea and have no zero orginality over and over . We never had a dragon knight sentai at all .
ReplyDeleteI love dinosaur and I am a big kyoryuger fan but I am very dissapointent .
ReplyDeleteI am honestly kind of disappointed. This seems like kyoryuger 2.0. It's like they wanted to do a concept that was different but something similar to the previous concept. Now look I get that kyoryuger was a success with toys but this seems lazy.
ReplyDeleteThe colour scheme of the team is the same as kyoryuger. Now that's fine and all but the main mecha in the series has the exact same look as Abaren-Oh especially kyoryujin. Why not at least make it a 5 piece combination?
The suits looks fine but everything feels so repetitive that it doesn't feel it has that distinctive feel. It still seems that some of the mecha are still yet again going to be based on dinosaurs smh.
The Red Ranger mech looks exactly like a Tyrannosaurus Rex (as if we don't have enough of those.) Why couldn't they make it look more like a mythical dragon or something? The Red Ranger mech could have looked like the Dragon from European lore or the ones from Asian lore. *SIGH* I'm not sure maybe in the show it's going to look more like a dragon but as of right now here, this looks like a dinosaur.
I read something the other day and the people over at the kamen rider franchise wants to try to do something new and have new directors and new head writers for the new era. Here, looking at this images for the next Sentai, I have no hopes for them doing anything new or original they are just regurgitating the same thing. It is as if they are trying to do something new because they know they can't keep doing the same thing over but yet keep it so similar to point that is not that distinctive.
Keep in mind I'm strictly judging the appeal and the look of the suits and how it represents the motif for the next series and to me it just seems repetitive. I am not judging the show as it has not yet debuted. I do think the helmets look cool just a bodysuit seem very repetitive I already don't have much of a good impression. Hopefully the show has a very...very good head writer and get a good director and it is nothing like kyoryuger ( I did not like that show that much.)
I'm kind of disapointed with the dinosaur theme, but really impressed with the props. Everything looks great.
ReplyDeleteNooooooo... I was expecting a great dragon knight design
ReplyDeleteEven the main team member have the same color as Kyoryuger -,-"
This is fifth time not feature Yellow Rangers (first one JAKQ, Battle Fever J, Changeman, Kyoryuger and Patoranger)
ReplyDeleteSo to put it simpler for the zords let's call them dino knights and dino weapons
ReplyDeleteThey actually look like zyudenchi xD
ReplyDeleteKyoryuger season 2 XD
ReplyDeleteI hope Chiemi Chiba will voice the devices
ReplyDeleteAlso from what I seen from the designs, their designs are based on cavemen.
ReplyDeleteCan they give the red Ranger another dinasour please!
ReplyDeleteWell Tyrannosaurus rex is pretty popular among kids in Japan, and Red is all about fiery spirit and power, so impossible to have Red Ranger other dinosaur besides t-rex.
DeleteSo sad, was really hoping for dragon motif suits and five dragon mechas based on different regional aspects of dragoa, not fossilized and then resurected kyoryugers
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to have dragons in this series, not dinosaurs. It's six years too early to reuse a certain theme again since we had Kyoryuger. Very disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI feel like this is a similar predicament to the one five years ago, where Toei fell back on the dinosaur theme in response to an under-performing sentai with a unique concept and darker themes. Its a shame because I've enjoyed LuPat way more than the past five seasons. Had the show not tanked in ratings and sales maybe sentai would have kept going in a more experimental direction. This wouldn't bother me so much if Toei didn't break it out this theme so soon, as each of the previous dino-themed sentais had a ten year gap or more in between. I know Toei is just scared of another flop, but at least try to be a little more original when wanting to appeal to a larger crowd. As much as I ended up despising Kyuranger, I could appreciate that it at least tried to be different on a surface level to reignite interest in a declining franchise.
ReplyDeleteAs for the pictures, I'm not exactly impressed with what I see so far. The suits are just average, not to toqger and zyuohger levels of uninspired, but just meh. The implementation of the dinsaur theme as well as the knight theme feel incredibly half-assed. The two previous seasons for the most part had great looking suits that applied the themes in creative ways. The previous three dinosaur sentai suits had more creativity and effort put into them. Zyuranger is simple yet incredibly iconic, abaranger while nothing special at least stood out as dinosaur themed, and Kyoryuger while far too busy for its own good, you could tell they had alot of unique ideas.
The only thing I really like is how the t-rex ryuusoul has knight mask on its jaw. I just wonder why its so hard to have a red ranger be any other dinosaur than a T-rex. Couldn't they have made him a Spinosaurus or any other towering predator. The only thing that could make this worse is if they made the red another spotlight stealing, all powerful, self-righteous idiot who is never wrong, and got Riku Sanjou or Nobuhiro Mouri to write the series.
They look amazing

But Dinos again? Really? I WANT MY DRAGON KNIGHTS!!!
If you as me,from appearance they look like kyoryuger but if you look carefully they remind me to zyuranger.
ReplyDelete@Robby, just as disappointed as you are. Dragons are generally considered to be incredibly cool, and not having them be the theme of this upcoming season is such a wasted opportunity. Not only would introducing different types of dragons from the east and west be a unique concept, but would also have a good chance of appealing to a broader audience due to their cool factor. They'd also make for great toy ideas that would help draw in more purchasers. Its a shame Toei is playing too safe for their own good. Maybe we might get actual dragon themed sentai in the future, but for now those chances seem slim.
ReplyDeletethe weapon (dinosour head)design look like godzilla animated series
ReplyDeleteReally? Dinosaurs Again??!! Okay, we get it. Dinosaurs are Cool.. STOP IT!! We already got 3 Dinosaurs Sentai. Isn't that enough?..
ReplyDeleteOh, and Of Course Red got the T-Rex. Apprently, 3 Red T-Rexes isn't enough.. Can't it be Spinosaurus or maybe Giganotosaurus? Noooooooooo.... It's gotta be the Freaking T-Rex!!!
What's next? Another Ninja Sentai??!!
"What's next? Another Ninja Sentai??!!"
DeleteHah, you said it man, you said it.
I wouldn't be surprised if they announce another ninja themed sentai for 2020.
DeleteAnother dino themed sentai? Either Toei is running out of ideas or they're playing it safe for the toy sales :/
ReplyDeleteLike everyone, I was expecting a dragon theme...also, they look awfully similar to Kyoryuger, even the logo.
They should've just went with Dragon Knights next year, that would've been much more epic than ANOTHER dinosaur sentai team.
