todays mechas are just a mumbo jumbo of parts that are hard to decipher from each other, CGI'd to the maximum, with spins and twirls and explosions, enough to make you sick.
I blame Michael Bay. He showed he can put junk together and make a mecha that makes no sense. Since his junkformers even anime mechas started doing the same. They all look like powerful toasters.
Another fun fact: Kane Kosugi played the human host of Ultraman Powered in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero and Powered was voiced by Sho in the Japanese dub.
Muteki Shogun will always be my favorite Sentai Mecha. The Japanese Castle themed design is iconic, it’s overall bulky and full of power. It’s just so damn cool and I can’t stop myself drooling over it.
Because in America, they only care about making money. So they make the show as cheap as possible, and convince kids to buy the cheap plastic merchendice.
What's interesting to me is that they never actually show the rangers piloting the individual components of Muteki Shogun, meaning that they become and ARE the individual zords in this series. That's honestly such a cool concept
It's funny how, in the Power Rangers version, to form the Ultrazord, they have to use toys, literally toys with Titanus to improvise the whole-merged zord, because they don't have an "Ultrazord" in Sentai, and to keep it cheap they went to Saban: "We need a super maximum ninja zord" Producers: "But sir, the Japanese film of these didn't had an Ultrazord, and to film that we have to create by ourselves" Saban "No, that's too expensive....use some toys in the stock and use the dinosaur from the first season, we film it and it's done, nobody is going to realise that". Producer: " Oh, well as you say "... Saban: "Also melted with the big one, the japanese program merged him with the falcon" Producer: "Well I don't see the coherence of a ninja and a shogun warrior being combined with a brachiosaurus...but ok". (It's pretty obvious the transition from the guys suited as the "Zords" to the toys)
The megazord in the Power Rangers movie looks like a cheap version of the original from kakuranger, i wonder why because the single zords has been redesigned way better, looking way more similar to the original versions
I agree. It was really awkward to watch a bunch of Alien Rangers jump around and punch at the air while controlling the zords. Heck, the actors in Alien Rangers didn't even get credited in the opening theme song. All I can say is at least after that ended we got Zeo.
Watching these videos…getting the toys I did while I was young with weapons and extras I never saw in the American Power Rangers makes so much sense now
@@theblaze555dbtrailer7 It makes less sense since the last Mecha they had was the team piloting a Mecha, piloting another Mecha, piloting an even bigger Mecha.
When you realized the mecha progression in kakuranger is in reverse 😅 despite power rangers bastardizing its source material, Ninja Gattai Muteki Shogun looks and feels much stronger than Goshin Gattai Kakure Daishogun which power rangers represented very correctly in their show imo I mean, the bigger the more unstoppable 😎
The only Zord non Megazord fight was when Billy used the Blue Shogun Zord to fight that wall monster. Or the time they used the Shogun Zords not Megazord to fight that Ape monster in season 3.
That was mostly due to budget, since they had to dedicate a lot of footage to original fight scenes due to still using Zyuranger/Dairanger suits. Plus, they were actively trying to have an on-going plot, which was something new to the writing staff at the time, and it became a lot of juggle. They did use a few more individual Zord scenes during the Alien Rangers arc, but that was likely also due to budget since they had not one but THREE sets of main casts to pay (the original Rangers, the kid Rangers, and the Aquitian Rangers). Also, since MMPR Season 3 had six Rangers while Kakuranger only have five, they brought over the animal mecha first. As such, they couldn't use too much footage of the regular form of what would be the Ninja Megazord, since they didn't want to come up with a reason every time as to why Tommy was delayed in every single fight like in Season 1. So, the battles were cut short and they immediately jumped to the finishing move so that Tommy could be on the front lines. After all, he pretty much WAS the star of the show at that point AND the leader of the team.
The reason why is because the Shogun Megazord was so huge and Saban had it in his head that the final megazord combination should always be the biggest
Mainly cause the power rangers had 6 rangers so they wanted 6 zords and super kakure daishogun looked better for a 6 zord combination compared to super Muteki shogun. Plus it works since they had to eventually write a story arc to send off Kimberly
tbh i like the kakuranger version better i pretty sure they use in the episode where they learn martial arts or something from the old guy but he was actually a traitor i dont remmeber because i finished kakuranger a year ago so i cant remember that much lol but kakuranger was great i gotta admit that
The last super sentai I've followed.The latest mechas looked way simpler than the charismatic first group, it should be inverted in the series, the team movement of the robots to build the Shogun also is the best among the previous series.

13:51 cuando ví esta escena en Power Rangers me confundió muchisimo esa silueta de un hombre como gritando. Ahora hoy sé que ese era la forma humana de ese villano pero igual confundía mucho
I may say it's the great and first Super Sentai season with the human Rangers turning into their Mecha forms. Second: Super Zenkaiser and Super Twokaiser Third: Donbrothers
12:35 es muy curioso como en Power Rangers usaron primero estos zords en la primera etapa y luego en la segunda usaron los anteriores a estos cuando en Kakuranger era totalmente al revez, esos primeros eran los segundos que usaban a la mitád de la serie. Nunca voy a entender este cambio que hizo Saban ademas de decidir adaptar Kakuranger como una miniserie de 10 capitulos con el nombre "Aliens Rangers"
Kakuranger.. Tenía partes cómicas y una que otra situación ridícula por asi decirlo pero muy bien equilibradas a su trama . Saban al momento de adaptar las situaciones y volverlas un tanto serias las historias americanas quedaban pésimas quizas por eso las volvieron solo un relleno que por cierto fue un fracaso hasta donde se.
@@luisinoomar9646 Fué mucho peor cuando adaptó Carranger(Power Rangers: Turbo). Al ser un Sentai mas comico y menos serio fué muy complicado usar su montaje siendo que PR era mas serio, la comedia se arruinaba totalmente con la musica y las voces de los actores de PR y por eso las escenas no pegaban bien
The Decepticon laser effects, I like to think that Toei created the effect since it's been used in quite a few productions of theirs since their studio helped animate the Transformers cartoon for Sunbow/Marvel.
