Whoa. Shinkenger was my first sentai i ever saw all the way through. Back then I simply thought the sword had just finnaly decided to take charge and destroy Juzo. But seeing it again years later I realize it’s way more meaningful. The sword, his wife’s soul, taking Juzo back to where he belongs, never to leave his side (or she was finnaly freed?) and that’s when Takeru says “that’s also part of your truth”. As in Juzo sought out only for this. To draw blood with his blade, and that’s his own prison he made for himself. No one to free him(unlike Takeru’s friends) or keep him company. Hence the sword fades away AFTER Juzo is destroyed. In the day time, signifying her souls finally free and Juzo is where he belongs. Not in the Sanzu river like the in betweens, but in hell. Wow 🤯😳
My favorite thing about this fight is 7:10 , the moment Takeru starts to give in to the pleasure of battle, he just curb stomps Juzo, fatally even, he just doesn't know it yet.
Kind of , he was on the verge of believing that nothing in life mattered but his sword , He nearly accepted it that truth and almost chose the life of a corrupted one
I personally prefer the American version but I respect this version though something about the Sentai version that throws me off is the sound effects the sound affects are overdone and it's off putting to me Respect to the Sentai but I will always prefer the American version
The sound effect point to me is weird because both use roughly the same amount of sound effects from what I can tell, they’re just different sound effects.
