Kaiju no Kami Reviews - Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger (2004) Series

While Abaranger was nearing completion, the next Sentai series was meant to be a tribute to both Shozo Uehara and the Metal Heroes franchise. This in turn meant that Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, as it was to be called, would be about a team of space police stationed on Earth, protecting it from evil invaders known as Alienizers. Dekaranger would become a HUGE success to the point that nearly 15 years later we are still gett new adventures. Is Deakranger truly worthy of its success? Or is this one series that should have been locked away forever? Watch to find out.

[@combatking0]

Dekaranger is a show that touches on a lot of new ideas without exploring them beyond one or two episodes. First off is episode 37, which is pretty dark even for a serious season such as this - I'd have liked to have seen more like this, but I guess having just the one makes it special. Then there's the high number of rangers, at 10, which was the most for its day and has since been surpassed. It would have been great to see a 10 member roll-call for the finale, but I get that one ranger was a movie exclusive and Swan (who's actress looks great for a 40+ year old by the way) can only henshin once every 4 years. The last one I can think of is episode 43, where Dekaranger Robo, Dekabike Robo and Dekabase Robo use the Dekawing Canon in a giant robo team finisher - something I haven't seen again until one time in Kiramager Episode 33 and it looked great both times. Again, I can see how something like this shouldn't be done too often as it ruins the novelty of it. Although it may happen in one or more of Magiranger, Boukenger, Gekiranger, Go-Onger, Shinkenger or Goseiger as I have yet to watch those seasons. Overall I enjoyed Dekaranger. As you said, without an over-arching villain to tie it all together, it feels like something is missing but it's a nice change of pace. I've heard speculation (but not seen any evidence) that Dekaranger may have been a bullet train themed Sentai at one point in development, owing to the window patterns on the core 5 helmets looking like the fronts of bullet trains. I find this interesting, as it was made and aired 10 years ahead of ToQger, the Dekabase Robo and Hyper Ressha TeiOh both go from horizontal to vertical when transforming from their base modes to robo modes, and Ajinomoto Stadium was used as the interior set for both. Probably all of these are coincidences, but I find it interesting all the same.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

There is definitely a lot of potential they could have done with Dekaranger. I really think it would have been cool to have some deeper arcs of the rangers playing detectives off-world. A bullet train series would have been cool in 2004.

[@DekaStriker2424]

Bro finished Hard Boiled Liscencse yesterday got confused and mistook it for a different episode in your comment, my bad lol. That has to be one of the darkest episodes in the series no mechs, no big battles, and it easily made Hoji the most compelling character in the franchise. Can’t wait to watch the Speed esque episode 38.

You know what.... We're on the same page. I too when as kid kinda skipped SPD due to it's more serious cop theme (which bores me back then), and when i discover Dekaranger at teenage i never give it a chance. Only after recently watching both SPD & Dekaranger (and all it's movie) that i felt dumb for skipping this amazing premise and came to truly appreciate how well done these 2 are, while not certainly perfect either

[@storymaker299]

Glad you like it more the second time. Though disagree on Agent Abrella, for me he was a good final villain given how Dekaranger was more episodic. He was the one who essentially made the rise in deadly crime possible, instead of world-dominating plans, he manipulated and schemed from behind the scenes and profited from the crimes, thus allowing him to have more menace than many villains who can only bitch about their plans failing while doing nothing about it themselves. Zahab: "Why do you idiots keep failing!" Budoh: "Captain since it's only episode 22 and the Gingaman don't have the Axe that can harm you yet, why not get off your ass and fight them yourself?" Zahab:".....Dokoku Chimatsuri didn't fight the Shinkengers!" Budoh: "One that hasn't happened yet, two he has the sealing character in him." Zahab: "......I'm voiced by Daimaou, I can do whatever I want." Budoh: "Didn't Daimaou fight the Kakurangers multiple times and have the best villain in Sentai for a son." Zahab runs off crying.

[@stspeight]

I think Dekaranger is probably the one Sentai show so far where it makes sense to not have a major villain group. Mostly because, setting its metal heroes influences aside, Dekaranger is one of those big genre shows so it really plays up the episodic cop show aspect. The lack of an overarching plot makes it work pretty well in that regard. DekaRed is also my go-to example of how to do high energy gun fights because the action never stops moving. Between this and Gekiranger, I would absolutely love to see Toei do a deep dive into different genres again. Can you imagine a Sentai show that doubles as medical drama?

I don't really mind the CGI since I was born in the year 2000, and I grew up with a lot of GCI animation so seeing it used in live-action and calling it out bad or outdated is completely inconsequential, insignificant, or unimportant to me. (Especially since it was made in 2004. Now if it looked like this say 2014 then I would call it bad.)

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

I don't mind CGI if it is used intelligently and makes sense. To me, CGI should enhance a scene, not control it.

[@gavinlucas9761]

@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork I can see what you mean, and yes I definitely think that a scene used in CGI should be used to enhance the scene. but by the sound of your voice, It just sounds to me you don't like things that look primitive. even though this show came out during 2004, so it has an actual justification for looking that way. Take Shrek and Monsters Inc. both of those where movies that I grew up with as a kid, and even though they show there age, that only because technology keeps improving. and I just find it insulting to not like something just because it may not look good as something is 20 years later. not everything has to look good... In order to be good. It's why I really enjoyed old games made before I was born because even games made during the PS1 I thought looked very good and impressive and have a certain charm to them that it wouldn't work by giving them 2010 - 2020 graphics. heck I've even played games on the NES and I was blown away by multiple RPGs that never made it to the west, but they have rich lore, characters, simple stories, and great gameplay mechanics that puts modern 2010 games to shame. I'm not saying that your wrong, I'm just saying there is a huge difference to appreciate something by the time it was made and comparing it to modern-day. Just because something looks bad does not inherently mean that it's bad, especially when you understand the limitations and the time it was made in. Sorry not trying to be mad, I just want to express my fondness of old technology and art.

Awesome opening and ending songs, a charming cast of characters (both on the heroes and villains side), amazing suits, great battles, enjoyable team-up movies, wacky comedy, not too silly but not too serious, and Girls in Trouble. Dekaranger is the total package of Super Sentai awesomeness.

The DekavsAba movie is not canonical, so you can just watch it after the series, but it would fit best between eps 29-32 since it is before they acquired SWAT mode and Genio is brought back to life in it, who was destroyed in 29. As for why the theatrical movie is after 23, it's because Tetsu did not officially join the Dekarangers until episode 23 while in the movie is apart of the team. Episode 30 makes a reference to the film.

I really enjoyed dekaranger. I keep coming back to it then and again. Really like the characters and act like normal people for me. My favorite episode is DekaBreak's three part introduction with the hell siblings. I just always love to rewatch these episodes cause they make me realize how much I love Tetsu for being a showoff. He reminds me of myself. Try to act cool, tell people what they are saying is nonsense, and always love to showoff. Definitely one of my favorite 6th rangers. I do love episode 26 when they fight in the club. Shows how much Hoji is committed to capturing a criminal even though he doesn't show that much. I really liked agent abrella in dekaranger than grum in spd. Grum felt to generic for me while abrella reminds me of a mafia boss like Don Dolnero from Timeranger. After watching timeranger a few years back, I realized how similar it was to dekaranger and that is what made me enjoy both seasons. I really now want to give both seasons a rewatch for how much I enjoy them. Overall I would give Dekaranger a 3.5/5 not bad but not amazing like other seasons like timeranger. A definite recommend if you want to see the omega ranger actually be used.

The Hellz Sibling Trio three parter was originally planned to be my favorite episode since those were the episodes I loved the most when I first saw the show, but as soon as I saw "Hard Boiled License," all of that changed.

Still better than SPD's judgement system, judging criminals by body flu is tough for me to accept(that things keep varying, it is so unprecise). Also, there is no court in SPD's worldview. Law enforcement is a symbol of police. I know the court stuff in Deka is a little bit strange but at least it means that Dekarangers is law enforcement. A team of cops using equipment that I did not know whether legal or not to judge criminal and there is no lawyer verdict provided me an awful feeling.

It also helped that he wasn’t the leader so it didn’t feel like he was rewarded with a position of power and responsibility for no reason other than being the protagonist. Can’t say the same for reds like Daigo, Right, Takaharu, Lucky, or Koh.

Here is something that TV Troops said about Abarella. “In an early interview, Naruhisa Arakawa claimed that Agent Abrella represented a greater organization which would be revealed as the series progressed. This ended up ultimately not happening, and a later Arakawa interview revealed that plans had changed midway through because they wanted to portray crime as something close to reality: not something that can be destroyed just by defeating a great evil, but something that'll always exist as long as society does.”

[@Seafoamgaming]

I always, always wanted to see this show, and hoped that Shout would get to it someday: sadly, it seems they had to end the sentai lineup RIGHT before this happened, which... is more depressing for me than missing out on Fiveman and before, oddly enough. I think it's because while I liked SPD as a kid growing up, it just felt "weird" to me, mainly due to the taking place in the future and weird monster-focused universe that show had: Anubis in that show looks like a completely terrifying design that you think would be fit for an enemy monster: but no, he's the commander. But the suit designs and the mech I always loved, so Dekaranger having the stuff I like and not the stuff I disliked, made it one of the sentai I always hoped would be released someday. Maybe that'll come around sometime, here's hoping. That, and I *really* like Doggie Kruger. He just looks so good and cool compared to anubis, but also funny and silly due to the fact that there are lots of scenes where he just has his mouth agape with happy eye expressions, even though he's supposed to be serious or worried. It's so goofy and I can absolutely see why the US team went with a CGI, more animated redesign: even if the original suit is cooler. Finding out he has epic sunglasses in this review made me burst out laughing and I can tell just from those instances alone that there's likely tons of funny moments with him, which makes him to be more memorable of a leader than any other mentor I could think of save for Dappu or the Kakuranger Narrator. I think with this review I'm also all caught up on the toku reviews I missed due to my job hunt and busy life, so I'm pretty much set. :) Oddly enough, I think this may also be the newest sentai that I'd have a remote interest in watching, as it seems every show afterward has something I don't seem to care about. (stupid CGI, flashy animations, silly designs, poor plot, little to write home about) save for maybe the suit designs: which Power Rangers can just use and do better with (as I found out with Beast morphers, much to my happy surprise) Here's hoping Shout releases Sentai stuff again, even if it's like KR stuff and digital only, I'd honestly take that just to have more EN sentai if that's the only option besides it not happening at all.

[@rayhayes7701]

What can I say about this show because I loved it just as much as SPD. Dekaranger ended up being fun for me to the point I had to stop myself from watching the next arc and to move on to my other shows I was watching. My favorite character is Jasmine because she doesn't feel sidelined and she's so pretty. I can't say I have a problem with Hothead reds to be honest. If I had a issue with Ban then it was in the Dekaranger vs Abaranger movie where he miss judged Ryoga most of the time I cared more is he did his job. Umeko was almost my least favorite mainly because of the fan service bath scenes but thankfully she didn't instead my least favorite was Lisa because of her way of thinking. There were a lot of good episodes I liked except for a few exceptions where I thought the SPD episode it was adapted from was better to me. Now something I didn't know was the judgement rules for this show. I have no opinion on the death penalty however I didn't not know about this debate for this show and I don't really know how I feel about this. And I can see why SPD changed this to containment cards because my niece watches power rangers and I don't want her seeing a cop power rangers team killing criminals.

Bro I am currently on Dekaranger and decided to watch it a few months after revisiting SPD(Which is also good despite it’s faults) I am loving the hell outta Dekaranger. It’s fantastic, I am on episode 37 and it’s only getting better for me. I love the blue ranger Hoji, but part of me would have been interested in seeing him as the red ranger. Umeko and Jasmine are some of the best pink and yellows I have seen so far in this franchise, I particularly love the episode involving Jasmine trying to reach the old alien detective after has had lost his daughter, it was very well done. My only gripe is that I find the Doggy Cruger in this series to be kinda flat especially when compared to his PR counterparts However as a whole I find Dekaranger to a better series than SPD, and I was shocked as to how many episodes SPD flat out copied beat for beat. Still can’t fault them for that since the whole point of PR is to be a translation of the sentai. Fantastic show, but I disagree, I think almost all the one off villains to absolutely fantastic and memorable. I was so wrong thinking that I shouldn’t watch any sentai series that was already adapted into PR, since this so far is great. I don’t expect you to respond to all of this as it’s a really long comment, but if you can let me know.

$60 was the SRP,, but the price most stores were selling it for was between $30-40.
