    I saw Dayuu and Juuzo as a reflection of Mako and Takeru respectively.
    For Mako, Dayuu is a lesson as to what happens to someone who wants to get married to their loved one so much that they go overboard and become possessive.
    For Takeru, Juuzo is a reflection of what he could be because he’s a kagemusha (shadow) to somebody else and if the actual person comes back, he will become nothing and the sword is the only thing that he knows.
    Also, I take issue with Kaoru’s depiction in this video. Kaoru is an understanding person and realizes that the retainers are struggling to follow her because they’ve been following Takeru for so long. It’s Tanba that’s cold and not Kaoru.

      i’d also like to add for dayuu and mako both of their backstories revolve around them have feeling discarded and undesired by someone there love,but what they choose to do with said pain is vastly different.Dayuu inflicts pain on others because she would rather see others suffer as she did and Mako is empathetic with those in pain and works to ensure nobody feels unloved as she did.

    There is a LOT to unpack with the characterization of Takeru Shiba which I absolutely adore, that I have to go ahead & share my overall summary of this guy's building up.
    Throughout the show, Takeru Shiba has been shown to be a man who took his duty as a Kagemusha for Kaoru very seriously. However, as he grew throughout the show, there were 2 conflicting sides that began to grow with him:
    1) He always knew in the back of his head that he wasn't going to amount to much in the long run, and never really valued his life, therefore, he started trying to seek other methods of making himself "matter" towards his existence. And herein lies his rivalry with Juzo, a man who also wanders the world with seeking establishment of his existence, but through fighting the greatest swordfight he can; as Takeru fought Juzo throughout the show, this actually started rubbing off on him, to the point where he actually secretly began to ENJOY fighting Juzo, and sought to establish his existence through strength instead; this is one of the reasons why he once flipped off on Mako when she was discussing of how he's changed ever since he began with them.
    2) He began to enjoy friendship with his vassals, and began to see them as more than just mere servants of him. He started caring for them, and through that, began to actually value his own life, due to them actually caring for him in return. He's not quite used to this, however, and questions if it's really true due to his job. It does take him some time to get accustomed to it, hence why Juzo pointed out that he was "weaker" when he took him on in a rematch later.
    Both of these ideals are very opposing to Takeru, and he's uncertain on which path is the right one: to walk alone & simply fulfill his duty as a tool, or to try something new with actually valuing his life & working alongside others? And when Kaoru comes along & kicks him out, he at first chooses the first path. This is why I LOVE that scene where he's at his father's gravesite, Juzo comes along & challenges him to one last fight (Juzo's dialogue is perfect here too, he simply says, "Fight me. That alone should be enough for you."), and Takeru simply makes a somber smile & says, "Better than being nothing." It's at this point that Takeru decides that due to his loss as head of the Shiba Clan, and loss of his credibility to the team by lying to them for so long, if he doesn't matter as a person anymore, he might as well fill that void with thrill of combat. It's a really sad scene upon introspection, and is my absolute favorite scene in the entire show.
    However, later on, it's Takeru's allies who come back & actually save him from Juzo; in this sense, they're saving him from BECOMING Juzo & going down the path of just being another empty warrior who just wanders for a thrilling fight. They remind him that in the end, it doesn't matter that he lied to them, and it certainly doesn't matter that he's the false leader of the Shiba Clan. He is still Takeru, and he matters to them, and his existence does still have a place in their world. All this is why I consider Takeru Shiba as probably THE best-developed character Super Sentai has ever created.
    ......and why I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE HOW THEY TRANSLATED HIS CHARACTERIZATION IN SAMURAI!!!

      Hey come on, they had very little to work with in Samurai. I personally loved Jayden but how did you expect them to have correctly translates the whole "Lord and Vassal(servant)" thing. It didn't work from an American perspective and would leave viewers confused. I just took what Samurai had to offer and I found myself loving it, it's still my favorite PR series to date, after it comes Mystic Force. But that's just my opinion.

      I feel like Samurai is less a 4kids dub and more like a Disney Live Action remake, understanding the surface level appeal at the expense of the finer details.
      I’d say the biggest sin with Jayden was being inconsistent with him. He’s either an aloof jerk trying to keep his distance or a hero cracking wise along with his vassals. It reeks of producers wanting a role model and mangling a legit character in the process.

    How about the mentors? Ji is actually a great mentor, providing the Shinkengers with more wisdom and support to help them overcome hardship than the other useless, biased, wannabe 'mentor' in Samurai. It also helps that Ji, quite stern, is also much more likable and humorous, to the point where he genuinely feels like the father of the whole team.

  • @arthuryu8298
    @arthuryu8298 Před 5 lety +111

    Kaoru: She's actually likable. This is what made her a welcome change in her trope. Most "real" Lord's are kind of jerks. Though cold and mechanical in bits, Kaoru still shows respect to Takeru for doing his job well. Chiaki himself said it, it would be easy if Kaoru was hateful so they could self-justify asking Takeru back but Kaoru had been competent, caring of her allies' situations and asked them properly to follow her. She did not pull rank on them or made them do inane things.
    Dayu: What makes Dayu interesting is that she is teetering on that edge of redemption, she's literally a lost soul just as her the title of gedoshu would imply. Yes, she had done horrible things that turned her into a literal monster but she was originally human and therefore the flow of time still affects her mentality greatly. She is still partly a person and people change as they experience things. One can say playing the shamisen for doukoku gave her some measure of peace as she seems a lot more controlled in her present. She only really dives back into her old persona when her shamisen becomes damaged but overall time had healed the wounds that had driven her mad. She was always on the precipice and she didn't know where she wanted to fall, that is until she met juuzou.
    Juuzou: Is interesting particularly because he's not just a murderous maniac. I think the particulars of him killing his family isn't so much he did it for the heck of it but because they kept trying to stop him. Ultimately what he sought was the ultimate battle, one that would test him to and past his limits and according to him, one that would "grind him down to the marrow". Juuzou's madness isn't overt. It's deep-seated and calculating with only that thought final goal in mind. Everything else is just a distraction in service of waiting for his next obsession. This deep-seated root of madness is what dayu lacked and through connecting with Juuzou, something she ultimately reaffirmed which is what makes him great. They're teased as possible lovers but ultimately become a sort of teacher student relationship.
    Doukoku: He actually has a lot of depth in my opinion. It follows a lot of tropes but generally I find that the details given to him during the show really follow a small journey of humanizing him(literally) which allowed him to act freely in the human world and would later ultimately lead to his downfall.

      Little bits that I like about Dayu and Juzou:
      Dayu keeping the little furball around cause it mimicked her Shamisen tune, providing her some comfort while roaming the human world.
      Juzou eating Gen’s sushi and going back to immediately eat one more. Forgot if it had been while since he had real food, I just that it was a nice moment that added some depth (however small it may be).

    Juuzo and Dayuu are interesting villains because they're horrible human beings with the chance at redemption, but chose not to.
    Dayuu is a sociopath who has some remorse for what she's done, but not for the victims whom she had harmed. The remorse she has is only because her actions led to karma biting her in the rear-end and making her life miserable.
    Juuzo on the other hand is a psychopath who has no regard for other people. He has no remorse for what he's done and is absolutely content with the life he ended up living.
    Not every villain has to be Thanos where their actions are justified in some twisted way. These are twisted people and the interactions that normal people have with them makes the story more interesting.
    Juuzo and Dayuu's story in Shinkenger show the mindset of people who have done similar things, but are coping with them in different ways. It is a refreshing take on "what is evil" as one has accepted the consequences of their actions while the other hasn't, but both have done similar horrible things in their lifetime.
    You have some sympathy for the villain who shows regret for an evil act while having none for the villain who has no regret, but neither redeemed themselves for their evil acts. They are essentially more evil than the Gedoushuu themselves and that's the point.
    Not every villain needs to be redeemed. Let bad guys be bad guys.

    Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.
    Small bit of trivia: Just like Samurai, the Sentai also featured a veteran Toku actor taking up the role of Juuzo.
    The difference is that said actor was from a Kamen Rider 555.

    I'd say the Lauren arc was probably Samurai's biggest misstep. First, for whatever reason, they either hired a much better actress or allowed her to show far more emotion than the core 5 rangers. She was so sympathetic, the rangers just seemed like assholes in the way they treated her. She also just came off as the type who would have looked for a way to include Jayden on the team. She seemed so lonely and yearning to make connections, that your heart kind of breaks when she's rejected. It's also such a back handed rejection that made it worse, "You're probably great and all, but we already like this guy and it would be really great if you'd back off so he can return."
    I'd love to see her in a future team up episode more than any of the regular Samurai Rangers.

    About Takeru's adoption here's a fun fact about Samurai. When Samurai families did not have a male it was not uncommon for them to adopt an adult male to continue the family line. They especially did this if there were male children in the branch families. Such is the case with Takeru. Takeru is connected to the Samurai life but he is not the clan head he was raised to be the kagemusha for Kaoru which means that he was raised as a tool to misdirect assassinations. What Kaoru did was take advantage of the spirit of an old Samurai law which allowed her to adopt an adult male from the branch family because she's an unmarried woman with no children. And make him her heir so that he could continue the family name. There is nothing that says that she can't adopt someone older than her.

    I prefer Dayu in Sentai because I can feel like it's realistic? Because she waited for someone she loved to come back and the guy didn't, I felt like the guy was a coward to just not to tell Dayu his feelings about it. He just went go on with another girl until Dayu found out and because of anger, she killed them with starting a fire.
    Plus, the guy soon became the instrument thus making Dayu really loved it/him so much as she felt like revenge kept her on going to live until she found Juzo.

    Dayuu's story was underwhelming in samurai. With shinkenger at least there is a moral to the story, a connection to mako's perception of their path as samurai. Yes shinkenger is heavy, dark and even the enemies have stories on why they are evil, which makes mako and takeru feel some sympathy for them, for a bit. There is none of that in power rangers samurai.

    Then centuries later he returns and tries to attack the world again only for the red ranger to stand in his way, he beats and almost kills the red ranger if not for him drying out and being forced back into the sanzu.

    Ji in Shinkenger was an actual mentor. Then we have Samurais Ji. I mean yea his actor was Grumm aka one of my fav villains but. He wasn't a mentor. He just was a dick. Mainly to Antonio. My feelings for Samurais Ji is summed up in Linkaras Samurai review. His rant about "yOu cAnT bE a SaMuRAi aNtOnIo" sums it up perfectly.

    I created and Internationally built sentai themed to Scouting. So Japan hosted the World Jamboree a few years back, I didn't go but that's where the idea originated. The main plot centers around a Nate Silva-based teenage girl from mainland (who is actually not a scout), her mentor-an entrepreneur [Kelsey Taylor] from the UK living in Hong Kong, and her little brother-Bao (who is a scout in Hong Kong because their actually parents died shortly after her, Yi's, arrival). The series has 13 rangers (9 Scoutrangers and 4 Rovers) and two movies ranger (one becomes a replacement for a trans rover who is killed in Battle, the other being Bao because he is only 13 was not chosen out of the first 5-who represent the UK, Spain, Brazil, Kenya, and Canada. The Following 4 are Russia, US, Japan-Hilltop's daughter, and China-Yi). The Crimson and Navy (I) Rovers are American's with Japanese ancestry and rivals of the main antagonist, the daughter of the big bad they fought (and they fought her too). Reshda [i.e. dark green], grey, and Brown/Navy II-Hilltop's son are from Japan. So 4 Japanese, 3 Americans (technically 4 as Blue and White are fraternal twin sisters who were adopted by different couples), 2 who are references to Battle Fever J (Kenya and Russia, as the USSR, were the Black and Orange rangers in the 3rd sentai), and the first time a Dinosaur-themed ranger appears in a non-Dino-themed season (American Raptor-added in Requirement 7, which is Ironic as the Timberwolves are from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA and the Raptors are from Toronto, Canada. So that's just a bunch of fan jokes waiting to happen). It's also the first team with a ranger of African decent (Kenya Elephant).

    @The Disney Brain I wish to ask you for two things because it has been bugging me for a while one could you do a video on the practicality of the ranger helmets in battle (any gen some have this worse than others turbo probably has one of the worst problems but I am not sure on that) and a quick question these days are the ones who do the newer ranger shows from neo saban on cutting more stuff in take it from sentai to power rangers??we used to have 40 episodes or somewhere around there and now we are lucky to get 20 I find this both strange and troubling not to mention it bugs me to no end.

Most of ur critique doesn't understand that japan doesn't value the same story troupes u do and that the show is hard to get because its entire personality is cultural Japanese values and that characters act like actual Japanese people not the typical western TV characters ur used to

    So can we say that Tzachor’s stubbornness and Sentai purism are two factors that contributed to Samurai’s (and consequently Megaforce) failure?
    Just always makes me wanna say that Tzachor is the Western counterpart of Shirakura; the difference being Tzachor is already long gone, while Shirakura is still lurking within Toei, destroying toku as his senile brain pleases.

      @Drive Check. Shirakura is actually a producer like Tzachor; his dumba** writers are the ones doing his bidding: first being Shoji Yonemura in the 2nd half of Decade and the Taisen films, and now Kento Shimoyama in Zi-O.

  • @sarawinardi6745

    Actually, I prefer Dayuu and Deker’s backstory. Dayuu’s Shinkenger is tragic sure. But the reason why she won’t kill him and that fact he doesn’t even remember her, is heartbreaking. To me, it makes more sense. Although, regarding the backstory of the Shinkenger vs Rangers, I prefer the Shinkenger. I mean, with Rangers, the only translate Jayden, Kevin and Emily’s backstory. We don’t even know Mike’s and Mia’s. With Chiaki, you find out why he is the way he is because his Dad wanted him to want the Samurai way, instead of it being forced upon him and with Mako, Samurai way took mental toll on her Mom and even though, her parents didn’t want her to go through that, her grandma basically forced them to make her go through it

    It is logical that half-human half-demons are completely defined by their past. Ghosts emerge from the past after all, emotions that get stuck between space and time and don't fade. When they stopped being human, they also became stagnant because their power derived directly from the pain of their own existence. And the only way to ease that pain and find peace is to cease to exist.

    This show was a nice introduction to sentai for me, which is poetic as heck considering Samurai was my first PR, all these tiny detail that were missing, you feel it, but I will say I will always ironically enjoy Samurai and Unironically enjoy Antonio, can’t help it
    And like Shinkenger’s theme song......YES! Will always love it!
