This series and Zord are so underrated. The design looked odd at first but it grows on you and the toy would have been so fun. I don’t know why they skipped it as it was perfect for the way Disney wanted to make power rangers even more geared for kids
Iirc ToQgers was released around 2014 which was around the time Neo-Saban came out. I agree that it would have been amazing in Disney's hands though, the emphasis on Imagination and innocence just makes it seem like Toku wrote this out as a free adaption for Disney only for Saban to take the rights before it can be adapted. Atleast the Hasbro shows adapted Go-Busters but I really hope the adapt some of the skipped ones later on
I genuinely tip my metaphorical hat to the design team of this season - Not only are Shadowline's monsters among the best looking ones I've seen so far, with the exception of VERY FEW among them, but the zords of the season are also very surprising for the better. I know that there are a lot of train types in japan, again, thanks to the info that we see in Toqger, but the idea of taking a vehicle that has a very simplistic form in general, like a train, and create an entire arsenal of different zords based on that concept, all with different designs and abilities, is a really impressive fit of creativity in my eyes, even if the weapon ideas were used by past sentai zords. Overall, Toqger is one of my absolute favorite sentai seasons to date, and while the story can be goofy, it can also be serious when it wants, and watching it is truely entertaining from the beginning of this literal train ride to it's end. So, to whoever reads this comment, if you hadn't seen Toqger yet, please do so. Even if you won't end up liking it, you should at least give it a try 😁.
Although the finished mechs don't look cool at all, the process is very cool and gives the vibes of rescue force(a firefighting series of this genre). And the details on the trains are extremely cool imo.
@@Dinoandtransformerlover54 It’s themes are trains and imagination. The story, a group of five childhood friends are gathered together where they lost their memories of their hometown, which was taken over by the Shadow Line. Spoiler alert: The main team are actually still kids but are put in grown-up bodies. Then they’re put in a situation where they can’t be reverted back to children, so even if they can save their town, they won’t be able to reunite with their families.
@@Dinoandtransformerlover54In some ways, it's darker, because there's more tonal contrast. RPM establishes it's tone based on it's premise and setting, and then builds on it. Because it was also Disney, there was a distinct limit to how far it can go, which ain't much further than what it started out with. It also had to work with Go-Onger aesthetics, which tempered it's seriousness, and is literally the source of levity at points (in a good way, I don't think a broody PR show is fit for the franchise, as much as some folks seem to want it). ToQger ostensibly masks an fairy-tale-esque horror with childish innocence, and peels some of it away as the series progresses. It's dark in a very similar way to how classic children's fairy tales tend to be REALLY messed up if you take more than a second to linger on the implications. The Shadow Line quite literally wants to take away free will, oppress the masses with an iron fist, a notion straight up highlighted by their imperialistic stylings.
I get the train sound pun like super super toq dai oh would just sound weird the train sound pun is the sound trains make in cartoons you know choo choo

@@miguelalejandromatamoroslo2433 I'm not the first commenter, but I'll answer There are people in Japan who know Power Rangers. Because Power Rangers has a Japanese subtitled version and a Japanese dubbed version. Toei's official RU-vid channel (Japan) recently uploaded a Power Rangers video
Honestly, the mechs in this one look pretty goofy, but the proportions for the suit actors' suits make them look better (especially Chou Chou ToQ-Oh and ToQ Rainbow). Plus those low angle shots like the Diesel-Oh one make them look pretty epic too, lol.
without question, this is my favorite sentai series. love the hyper bright colors, gothic villain designs and the gattai. i picked up almost the whole dx toy line when i was in japan, and grabbed the few i was missing on ebay. technically, i'm missing the dx drill, but i use a gatcha version for combinations. the only japanese toy line that i own the complete series of.
@@emperorkiva8063 the opening is phenomenal. toqger, gokaiger and kyoryuger are my top 3 favorite openings. magiranger, gingaman, and kyuranger are god-tier as well.
@@Nehfarius So typical Sentai? :P But yeah, Kyoryuger had "Red is the only important one" badly when Sentai is meant to be an ENSEMBLE series. Heck Kamen Rider often does better at focusing on all the main Riders than Sentai sometimes.
It’s not that similar. For RV Robo, Blue comprises most of the torso and the upper legs. Red is the head and the rest of the torso. Pink is both arms. Green and Yellow are the lower legs. For ToQ-Oh, Red, Blue and Green are the torso, legs and head. Yellow and Pink are the arms.
