Season 3, Episode 1 - The Surge

Ah, good old S3. The one that I continually bring up as the first season Zane dies in, because a) the writers seem to love killing him, b) can the writers not do that that is incredibly rude

Well, that happens in the finale. I’ll let my dread build up for the occasion, then. Until then, we’ve got a good season to get through.

[22:10] oh what the hell!!! new intro!!!

[21:49] that fucking slaps

[21:39] The ultimate battle… where Lloyd got eaten by a dragon and then had the magical energy dragon he was riding explode the dragon he was eaten by.

[21:19] Huh. Looks like the “wait this is lego who gave them the right to be this dramatic” part of me finally kicked in. But man, that’s gotta suck for them to rebuild.

[21:09] Oh hi, dude in a wheelchair. That looks a bit… precarious.

[20:59] Wait, why New Ninjago City? That New ____ bit applies generally when it’s a seperate city or location, but named after an older city or location, like New York, New Mexico, New Zealand (Zeeland), etc. If you’re just rebuilding, it doesn’t make sense to add that, as it’s still the same city. Ninjago City was badly damaged by the earthquakes, but it wasn’t to the point of having to start completely over, right?

[20:57] Hovercar! --- wait. What’s the timespan for this?

[20:57] Huh. The ninja can move on with their lives for now, at least.

[20:42] Okay, we’re now watching Jay sneak up on somebody singing in the shower.

[20:39] Hi, Kai!

[20:35] Huh? What’s going on?

[20:33] Kai’s a teacher! Neat. And you can have hovercars, but god forbid we use a whiteboard.

[20:26] Zane and Cole are also teachers! And… and what do you mean on the friiiiiehwHY IS HE GLITCHING OUT

[20:18] Jeez! Not cool, kids!

...god i want to see a tacky poster explaining to the kids not to remote control the teachers please and thank you

[20:13] Ah. The wonders of education.

[20:03] I am going to fight a kid again.

[19:55] Oh! Sensei Wu took over Darkly’s!

[19:51] Jay’s a teacher too! I guess that just leaves Lloyd, Nya and Garmadon as characters who’d be majorly impacted by the end of the Age Of Ninja unaccounted for. I’m assuming Misako’s off doing research or something.

[19:57] your fave is problematic: cole steals his co-workers’ food from the fridge

[19:41] Oi. Where can I get that giant tea making machine?

But like… yeah. The ninja excl. Lloyd are like… adults. Maybe acting a bit like teens from time to time because kids show but… they’re adults with jobs and crap. That’s a very weird thought.

[19:33] Man, I love me them group dynamics

[19:22] Well, Lloyd’s doing a bit of award receiving, it seems.

[19:15] Nya’s a teacher too! So I guess that leaves Garmadon unaccounted for.

[19:06] Huh. That’s… not a good sign for Jaya this season. I’m a fan of Jaya so that’s, I dunno. Disappointing.

[19:00] Man, they’re either still in the Constant Threat mindset or are just really desperate to let loose on SOMETHING. Considering the kids they have to teach… it could be either.

[18:48] Aaaw! Jay’s geeking out about Borg Industries.

[18:45] Also the camera’s… really spinning. Really wants me to get that vertigo experience.

[18:42] Zane just snapped and kicked Jay in the leg. DJdfngjd

[18:34] Oh, look at you, Kai. Being all… cynical. I mean, you don’t really have a lot of past to go off of, y’know? The world was only made like… three generations ago. And also somehow a few thousand years ago…. What even is this timeline?

[18:30] Welp.

[18:24] Also, if you took the field trip on a dragon you do run into a lot of safety risks.

[18:20] god he’s desperately trying to be One Of The Kids… Cole this is the one time you’re not an eternal mood but I forgive you

[18:16] Also, Nya in the bg smiling at first but then just… dying inside

[18:15] oof

[18:07] But like… huh. I’m guessing it’s been a while since the events of S2. Logically in real life it’d be up to maybe a decade between seasons, but more likely it’d be a year or two at most, which is still a while.

[17:49] Man. NNC looks pretty cool.

[17:31] Well, I’m sorry sir, we can’t all have hovercars!

[17:29] Wait! It’s the postie. Man, that guy’s seen some crap.

[17:20] Cole remains just… frighteningly buff. I’m scared that if I shook his hand it’d break mine.

[17:09] (Wu) “Besides, it’s not like we can’t find where we’re going.” YOU SURE? Because I’ve gotten lost sometimes trying to find certain entertainment slash casino slash hotel complexes that will remain unnamed and it takes up like half of the Yarra in the city

[17:07] Okay, nevermind. That’s definitely like a beacon among the hills.

[17:04] Like… it’s very tall.

[16:59] ouch

[16:54] PIXAL???? I’VE HEARD OF YOU AND I LOVE YOU ALREADY

[16:42] Oh my god her voice is so relaxing though??? Like robotic, certainly, but not at all like jarring? Is that a weird thing to say?

[16:36] (Pixal) “What does ‘Zane’ stand for?” That’s just his name, m’am

[16:33] I mean, I hear Pixane is a thing that happens here? And I can understand the relationship part being rushed (god that is gonna be painful huh) but if I see Zane having a crush on Pixal I don’t really care. I don’t like how crushes usually somehow mean We’re Gonna Hook Up Soon but to be honest I don’t even have any form of romantic attraction, am human, and am having a bit of a crush on Pixal right now. He can do whatever, man.

[16:25] Welp! But goddammit, if it sets off my romantic repulsion I’m going to fight my brain, it’s! in! his! rights! to! crush! on! Pixal! Goddammit brain let me have fun here

[16:20] wait wait wait I just… man only in Lego can Pixal get away with having half her chest exposed.

[16:12] Okay I realise what I just said about Zane having a crush on Pixal but c’mon this is getting creepy what she’s on about now. NNC is reading more and more like a dystopia by the second when you think about it. Everything is connected. It’s being fed to Borg Industries. If BI isn’t doing good then what the hell would this mean?

[16:05] I- I. I mean, what DOES power him?

[15:36] WaaaAIIIIT. THIS ISN’T GOOD.

[15:16] Wait. Is this licensed? Also fucking… video games…

[15:05] “They have a Perfect Match console!” nsddhgiufsjd like that one Choices game? Also I heard we’re having a love triangle somewhere but this soon? What the hell, writers?

[15:00] UHHHH WHAT THE HELL. GODDAMMIT WE ARE NOT DOING SOME SORT OF AUTOMATED SOULMATE CRAP GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE.

[14:54] THIS IS CREEPY AS HELL… IS THIS SUPPOSED TO ALL BE *GOOD?*

[14:53] No. No, we are NOT doing this.

[14:50] I am going… to go commit... murder. None of you can stop me.

I am going to die before I get through this episode, jesus christ, let’s continue,

[14:49] PLEASE. MAKE IT STOP.

[14:47] WHHHHHY!!!!!

Usually I avoid anything with any romance in it like the plague (which is 99% of YA fiction aka stuff in my demographic) let alone LOVE TRIANGLES and now I’m seeing why Terrible Writing Advice has it as a running gag! If you’re not familiar with the channel, it’s exactly as labelled. It’s an author giving you advice on what NOT TO DO as stuff to do (but blatantly the first category). A running gag is that The Love Triangle Is Awful Author JP Fixall, which indicates how much the real JP hates them.

[14:44] (everyone gasps almost horrified at the results) THAT’S HOW I’VE BEEN FEELING FOR THE PAST HALF AN HOUR YOU GOOF! THIS IS A TEN SECOND SEQUENCE.

[14:42] WeLPPP WE HAVE TO DO THIS SHIT THEN

[14:34] Hey, Mr. Borg! So about that matchmaking machine you have in the video game floor downstairs… can we talk about that?

[14:32] Oh my god, I can’t even enjoy the episode because of the stupid love triangle I’m dreading.

[14:22] djdjdjd he really had to call out his parents for naming him that

[14:20] Why are you all acting so shocked? That looks cool as shit.

[14:07] UMMMMMM????? I’M SORRY WHAT

[14:01] Holy shit, um… they just killed him. They killed Zane’s dad between seasons, jesus christ.

[13:38] Man, but like. Huh.

[13:27] (Cyrus) “I’m glad it’s just you four.” UHHH

[13:15] It’s… a statue?

[13:11] (Kai) “Oh wow. It’s a statue. Of yourself.” I’m telling you that!

[13:04] UHHHH CYRUS? CYRUS YOU’RE JUST GONNA WHISPER IN KAI’S EAR ABOUT HOW HE NEEDS TO PROTECT THE OTHER NINJA FOR NINJAGO’S SAKE AND JUST… LEAVE IT THERE

[13:01] Oh, well, “them”, but I assumed it was the ninja based on context. Whatever it is.

[12:53] What the fuck is going on?

[12:22] Wait, since when did Kai hate technology? Was that something else from the pilot episodes? And… whelp, it’s broken.

[12:15] Ooooh. This isn’t good.

[11:53] Whelp! Time to protect them blades!

[11:49] OUCH

[11:19] And this is why you don’t build over where the Overlord was defeated, presumably. It curses the damn place.

[11:01] Man… those are some angry machinery.

[10:57] JESUS CHRIST THEM TOO??? PIXAL??? GUYS YOU’VE GOT KIDS WITH YOU

[10:23] Christ, why were they even allowed in there? This is a massive WorkSafe violation.

[10:13] God, I love the new technology based aesthetics we’re getting here though. I will confess, I love me them tech. I don’t really have the brains for it, but I wouldn’t deny it being cool as shit.

[10:10] Well! Let’s do this!

[10:06] Also, as always, the soundtrack slaps.

[9:51] And the music’s been updated to fit the technology theme of the season! In the previous two seasons, we got a lot of the classic Cinematic Orchestra (probably not the name but still). Now we’re doing a more techno beat… kind of thing

[9:48] (Zane) “It’s not sharp! Why even call it a blAde?”

[9:37] And thus continues the long tradition of the ninja almost falling to their deaths.

[9:29] Ow.

[9:27] Man, you really should find a stop to your fall soon.

[9:23] Conveniently placed … what do you call em

[9:16] Well!!!

[9:05] The Overlord’s back.

[8:52] Oh. Oh no.

[8:43] (laughs nervously) what the fuck?

[8:31] Man, this is really just going downhill. I knew there was something severely off with NNC!

[8:26] thROw mE!

[8:17] HELL YEAH!!!

[8:10] Oh! Hell yeah! Vehicles!

[7:47] Welp!

[7:28] Pixal what the hell

[6:47] Hell yeah!!!! Also, goddammit I CALLED IT NNC WAS REALLY OFF

[6:26] Man! You’re really ready to go kick some ass, huh? I literally cannot blame you.

[5:25] Wow! This is actually really wild and I’m really into it.

[4:47] So! New vehicles! Mainly to sell merch but man is this a fun way of doing it!

[4:10] god i love this show!

[3:30] uhhh what just happened

[3:26] Lloyd! thank you!

[3:20] And now they’re group hugging him!

[3:16] Shiiit. That goddamn Overlord.

[2:42] Alright! Let’s see what happens now!

[1:43] Oh!!! I guess the technoblades are with the ninja! This was just a false flag.

[1:30] OOOOH. IT WASN’T.

[0:52] god like… to Lloyd, all of the other ninja are the Dad Friend like… stop collecting dads Lloyd. you’ve got too many. put a few back.

[0:49] Oh god. Cyrus.

[0:38] OH NO

[0:26] Kids show! Now with 80% more body horror and 70% more useless romantic subplots!

First Reaction To DekaRanger (Episode 1)

So, this is my first ever reaction to a Super Sentai property. I was recommended for this to be my starting season, so that’s what I’m gonna do, and see how I feel.

I know next to NOTHING about this, other than it’s Power Rangers counterpart is called SPD. But I’ve never watched Power Rangers either. I heard about it, I know the seasons, and I think I watched like the first six episodes of Mighty Morphin five or seven years ago. And it just did not click with me. So that’s the only knowledge I have about Power Rangers, and I know nothing about it’s stories. And I don’t know Super Sentai either therefore.

I’m doing the Super Sentai version solely because of two things. One was my first taste of Power Rangers not working out. And the other being that this is a Toei property, and I am a Pretty Cure fan, and was NOT a fan of how Glitter Force turned out. So I felt as though looking at the original product was my best bet to try and get into the franchise once more. And if I end up liking DekaRanger, then I will look at some other seasons.

I probably won’t get to every Super Sentai season because... 46?! Ugh, that’s gonna take years to catch up.

And who knows? Maybe I’ll give Power Rangers another shot sometime in the future. Maybe I was wrong about it. I was a teen back then. A teen who, still to this say, likes Ninjago. So there’s clearly something I was missing there.

I’m also gonna be using ZERO images from the episodes on these posts. Because in Japan, there’s no such thing as fair use in the copyright law. So for these posts, I hope you like just reading texts, cause I don’t wanna get arrested by police rangers.

So, without further ado, this is my reaction to the first episode of Dekaranger, completely blind!

So NO SPOILERS IN THE REPLY SECTION, THANK YOU!

Let’s do it:

“How far are you planning to go, you kabuto-faced *******?”

Did... not see that coming.

There’s actual swearing here, okay. Didn’t expect that.

Right off the bat, we’re starting with a car chase, no context.

Let me guess, this green thing is a good guy.

*gets yeeted from an explosion*

*It cuts to a dive flying past a church*

Wait, what was that cut?!

RED PANDA BRIDE, 10/10.

But those eyes are horrifying. I know they’re puppets, but still.

If this scene is in the Power Rangers season (and I don’t know if it is,) I think Red’s line would be changed to something like “Sorry to crash the party!”

So Red’s a rookie, he’s new, got it. Is he doing this alone?!

*green guy gets thrown over a cliff and blows up*

I think he’s okay.

Does Red have Leon hair? Leon from Danganronpa?

“Cadet Akaza Banban!”

Is that Red’s name? We got a name, I like it.

“Guys that ignore their superiors are fired!”

And so Red Ranger was fired. The end. End of season.

Okay I want to read the screen:

DekaRed, name of red ranger, real name is BanBan Akaza, nickname... Ban? Not really feeling it.

So this is the opening?

(Beforehand, I actually DID see a video of ALL the Super Sentai openings)

Oh, so the SPD part WAS carried over to Power Rangers, they didn’t just make that up.

DekaBlue is Tomasu Houji... Hoji... okay

DekaGreen is Enari Sen’ichi... Sen-Chan... that’s easier to my ears to remember

DekaYellow is... Jasmine? Reimon Marika, and her nickname is Jasmine. Cute, but I’d like to the know the context of that.

DekaPink is Umeko. Gonna take awhile for me to actually memorize these names. So for the first few episode I’m probably just gonna refer to them as their colors.

I’m wondering, if these number accompanying the words in this opening has something to do with the ranger’s characters. Like we saw before with Red being impulsive and headstrong, like he takes on Emergencies.

2, Dekaranger... Blue is a veteran who knows how the job works better than anyone?

3, Action... Green is a jock?

4, Perfect... Yellow is seen as perfect by a lot of people?

5, Get On... Pink is... I have no idea.

Wolfman and Earbud girl are definitely important.

I think Wolfman was carried over to Power Rangers actually.

That’s an okay opening.

That’s a cool transition, the red earth to the siren. That’s good.

“However, his language is unknown, so we have no idea what he wants”

Thank gosh I have subtitles then

OKAY, I thought the bus was hanging over a highway or something, but dang.

Oh, so they have traffic laws for when they need to take out the tank... things.

So is this ranger thing generational or something and everyone’s used to this?

Unless somebody here is a grumpy and like “Come on people! I wanna go home! I aint got time for this!”

Oh, they’re all rangers already! So it’s not like Pretty Cure, we get every ranger off the bat.

“I’m gonna call him Libra-kun”

Oh, so Jasmine is basically me.

“He’d say... “Stay back, or I’ll fire!” Right?”

“It means... “Stay back, or I’ll fire!””

“...like I just said?!”

😂

Oh, we’re already calling out villain tropes here, I love it.

“It’ll be a bit longer, so let’s sing!”

NO.

Everyone there’s probably like, “NO!”

So everyone knows their identities, okay.

WHAT WAS THAT FLASH EDIT?!

WHAT THE...

“What happened?”

We just snapped a few photos, and everything’s fine now!

“Do it now!”

“Don’t give me orders”

Touchy.

“Looks like we don’t need a fifth member!”

*Pink is number 5, probably crying in a corner from hearing that*

When your boss is literally a DOG, and they just treat it so casually.

“Where’s Umeko”

*cut to her taking a bath*

OH GOSH, WHAT?!!!

WHA-

😳

WHY DO YOU SHOW THIS?!

WHY DO YOU DO THIS?!

“That’s when we found something in his stomach”

It was KFC

“You mean Libra-kun was betrayed?”

“Happens all the time.”

😂😂

I know, right?!

*police man gets shot*

‘This is fine.’

He should not be able to talk after that, at least call an ambulence for him before you start chasing the bad guy! Friends come first!

*gets hit by a truck*

😂😂😂

I’m sorry, I should NOT be laughing at that, but he way he just bounced off of the truck...

Swan-san... cool name, but I expect her to be an actual swan puppet

“Akaza Banban has traveled 6 billion kilometers to return to earth!”

IT’S JUST A CASUALTY HERE

*tries to land on earth*

Magic: ‘NOPE’

Oh so aliens just take on human forms here. So maybe Swan IS actually a swan.

OH GEEZ, we already have an old man dying here. I mean, he was an alien, but still. What did he do to you?!

*vanishes to dust*

That’s how death works.

“Boss!”

“What? Okay, I got it”

TELEPATHY

*Super jumps*

“No human can do that”

Thanks for doing my commentary for me Jasmine

At least Red has the decency to not run people over with the truck. That’s how you know he’s a good officer.

Akaza: ‘HEEEEEEEERRREE I COME TO SAVE THE DAAAAAYYY!’

The others: ‘I don’t even know who you are’

“I’ll show you my skills!”

*ten seconds later*

YEET

Yes, you have mad skills my friend

“As long as he captures him”

*kills him*

Red: ‘Sorry, did you say something?’

Tbh, I kind of get Blue here, but at the same time, I don’t think anyone told Red defeating the guy wasn’t the objective

Good job Akaza... ya sent the bad guys swarming all over earth.

*to be continued*
