It’s time to start talking about the next Sentai series! Yeah, I know, I didn’t finish up Gokaiger yet, though I plan to sometime in the near future. The 36th sentai show, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, is set to start on February 26th on TV Asahi at 7:30AM. Guess what, they’ve released a preview of the OP and ED songs, and let me tell you…I’m liking the preview for the opening at least! Go check it out here!
Coming with this is promotional materials for the new show, including references to their henshin call: “It’s Morphin’ Time!” Now, there has been speculation and claims that creators at Toei are fans of Power Rangers and like the work that comes out of it, but this might be the first direct reference to the show. Even for people who don’t watch Power Rangers, the phrase “It’s Morphin’ Time!” is well-known, and is a part of that 90′s nostalgia that a lot of the current young adult crowd remembers. Could this be a sign that Toei is looking to do more with Saban, or is it just a funny coincidence? What’s this, they’re calling the mecha of the series “Zords?” What, do the Go-Busters have a “Megazord” or someth…
“メガゾード…”
Actually, this is the villain’s Megazord, and to fight it, the Go-Busters call upon their own Megazord. I’m at a loss for words. I’m excited to see what comes of this, especially to hear the phrase “It’s Morphin’ Time!” again. I’m sure it won’t be as epic sounding as Jason though:
Thanks to JEFusion for the news.
