This episode featured Luka’s childhood friend, Cain, played by Yuki Kimisawa who is recognisable with Kamen Rider fans as Kirihiko/Nasca Dopant from Kamen Rider W. The problem with recognisable guest stars with me is that I keep thinking of them as their previous character which is unfortunate, unless their performance […]

The Zangyack Action Commander this week reminded me a lot of Pudgy Pig from Mighty Morphin. The plans were even the same – eating all food. The one difference is that the Zangyack think that the humans will be easier to conquer without food. It was really convenient that Gai […]

I felt like the plot of this episode was a little disjointed, but still enjoyable. The beginning of the episode start off as an Ahim focus. The focus is soon shifted towards the Zangyack’s shrinking abilities onboard GokaiOh. About 15 minutes in, the focus is switched back to Ahim. I […]

I’m not sure what I think about the return of Yuuki Gai. I think that the whole ‘back from the dead’ thing takes away from the realism (even though the series isn’t at all realistic on the whole). I guess since he’s dead, the fact that he is able to […]
