Oh, and the monster, Birdcage Vagrant, is Mexican...for...some reason...

Not sure if it's just as or less "It's Japan" than Tequila Gundam. #Dairanger #SuperSentai #GGundam

Well, just as Shoji has to pull a boy who cried wolf to way Ryo up, an actual Goma (The bird puppet) shows up and attacks...and jacks the phone booth Shoji puts himself and her in!?

Forget Japanese Wheaties, what's in the Evil S&M Club of Evil's Bird Seed! #SuperSentai #Dairanger

We open on a bus full of birds...and birds hanging out it's window...leading to a bird puppet...ooooooooookkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy... #SuperSentai #Dairanger

I AM WATCHING RYO SLEEP RESPECTFULLY!

While I think this is kinda true for all the Super Sentai we've watched I feel Dairanger is one where they change the OP visuals every episode!
#DaiRanger #GoseiSentaiDaiRanger #SuperSentai #Episode32 #TokuTime @digiranma.bsky.social

Geez we have two episodes in a row where a Ranger gets compromised and the others have to save him...actually three considering Kou from last week!
#DaiRanger #GoseiSentaiDaiRanger #SuperSentai #Episode32 #TokuTime @digiranma.bsky.social

Up next, Shoji gets captured for ransom: Him for the Golden Phoenix Leg! "Demon WIth The Golden Kick!" #SuperSentai #Dairanger

I do wonder if Daimugen was a DIRECT inspiration for Megagargomon?

I like that we had a little detail in that the sides of Kazu's face was covered in blood to show the bonding of the mask, but what made this fun to watch was that the robot Turtle had a personality and was still Kameo despite everything. #SuperSentai #Dairanger

After watching this show I will NEVER look at Power Rangers Season 2 in the same way again.

But, just as our heroes win, the lil' bastard gets pulled out from the underworld. #SuperSentai #Dairanger

Sooooooo...pretty much this happens...

youtu.be/rEpUviILoRY?...

Let's be honest, most toy centric show toys would be awesome if we could do that. #SuperSentai #Dairanger

If I ship Kazu and Kameo would that mean I making Kazu a Turtle Fucker?
#DaiRanger #GoseiSentaiDaiRanger #SuperSentai #Episode31 #TokuTime @digiranma.bsky.social

Y'know...I kinda with Tor the Shuttlezord had this interesting back story of being reincarnated as a human.

The Four Kings fuse, grow big, and proceed to kick robot Ch'i butt. This is when Kameo decides to embrace his inner turtle and grow into the new toy! #SuperSentai #Dairanger

It looks like Kameo gets through...

(Hears the music)

...as George Lucas is about to sue somebody...as they finally have ALL the stuff needed to actually control the bazooka and use it to break the mask curse the only way you can...BLOW IT THE FUCK UP! #SuperSentai #Dairanger

Kazu escapes but the Heavens spot him and start their chant to cause him to spaz out and attack! Just what are they chanting anywa---

youtu.be/wWspbzOtuJ8?...

Oh. #SuperSentai #Dairanger

So this episode aired the day before my 14th birthday in 1993. For some context Power Rangers just debuted a month earlier so THIS gives you an idea how close we were to the Super Sentai material!
#DaiRanger #GoseiSentaiDaiRanger #SuperSentai #Episode31 #TokuTime @digiranma.bsky.social

See, turns out the turtle bot loves peace, hates war, so he decided to be with us humans...ironically...and he just forgot. #SuperSentai #Dairanger

Back at the Hell Hole, turns out the boss was fishing for the evil lil' bastard just as gramps reveals to Kameo that he's one of the Ch'i beasts, the giant turtle thing that Saban used when the Titanus footage started sucking. #SuperSentai #Dairanger
