I hope he see these kind of comments b/c jokes like that are kinda bad cheap shots at a show for actually getting something right about a group of people. Sure this is power ranger we are talking about here and there are tons of non ninja things in this show so it out weighs the real ones. But a dig into modern history books can tell you that early civilizations often had earlier forms or greater versions of technology we use today. 😊

[@bthsr7113]

Late, but yeah, ninjas loved gunpowder, making a variety of blends with purposes ranging from smoke makers for distraction, to firearms, to demolitions. They strived to be as close to the cutting edge of technology as possible within their resources. They also wanted every edge they could get to survive, so several multi-purpose weapons to start make sense.

After rewatching SPD I took interest in the episode “Samurai” and thought perhaps once the samurai returned to his time period after the whole ordeal with him traveling to the future and fighting space patrol delta. He introduced an ideal concept for battle armor with the color scheme and samurai style uniform due to the influence from the spd rangers and thus with the passage of time came the first,2,3rd and so on generations of “Samurai Rangers” to the main continuity of the show.

I like how Ninja Steel took some aspects of the sentai characters and reused them in a way that made sense. Ninninjer Blue Ranger was smarter and more focused on magic than Ninja abilities (Ninja Steel Blue is a magician), Ninninjer Gold Ranger was a youkai hunter raised in America (Ninja Steel Gold is a country singer), and Ninninjer had 2 mentor figures in a Father and Grandfather who passed down the powers to the next generation (These are where the two additional Ninja Steel Red Rangers came from) So far I like the subtle changes from Sentai that get turned into Power Rangers and hope that continues going forward. (I am personally hoping they adapt Kyuranger over Zyuohger for the next series, mainly because the Zyuohger suits just seem really low quality)

One of my favorite Behind the scenes moments was when Peter Sudarso, who played Preston, found out he'd gotten cast as the Blue Ranger, he hid the news from his brother Yoshi (who played Koda the Blue Ranger in Dino Charge). Peter wanted it to be a surprise for Yoshi because at Power Morphicon they would have a tradition where the previous Ranger team would introduce the new one. When they announced the Ninja Steel team, they gave Yoshi a card to read out who the new Blue Ranger would be. After reading the card Yoshi broke down crying when he discovered that it was his brother Peter. Yoshi cried when Peter came out in the Blue Ranger costume and they hugged and it was so sweet

Yep. New, remastered or updates, I always have time for Lewis's opinion on Power Rangers.

[@TheMangakid1995]

If I could piggy back off a point you made Linkara, I've thought a bit about how some of the issues I have with the show could be fixed by reworking the relationships the villains have with each other. For example it never made sense to me that Galvanax would be the owner of a game show or that Odius would willingly go along with the show when her only interest seemed to be the power stars. Instead of having Galvanax be in charge and using the game show as an angle to get at the stars I would set it up so that Cosmo ran the show and owned the ship, Galvanax as the muscle headed champion with delusions of grandeur who Cosmo could take advantage of as an enforcer on occasion but who usually ignored him, Ripcon as the head of security who took it personally when Brody escaped and went out of his way to destroy, and Odius as a member of the Galactic Ninjas we see later who infiltrated the shows crew as a producer in an effort to steal the power stars. The twist I would put on this set up would be that Cosmo doesn't have any interest in using the Stars as anything but a trophy and means to draw attention to his show, and the thing that stops Odius, Galvanax and other big picture villains from stealing the prism are the evil producers we never see that all the other characters are too afraid to cross until or unless they have the power boost from the stars.

I find the Tabletop RPG season to be the best season that came out of the NeoSaban era funny enough that you mention it.

[@SeelkadoomandJokic00]

@@TheArceusftw I just said I find Hyperforce to be the best out of all of the traditional TV seasons from NeoSaban as unconventional as it is upon retrospective once he brought it up. You are reading too deep into what I was saying.

[@chendror872]

And I agree

[@Marcosatsu]

This is the one I've been waiting for the most (except Beast Morphers, of course), since I sort of enjoyed this season, but I was waiting for Linkara's opinion too.

I liked this season but the next one was a disappointment

I've really missed this series. TY Linkara.

[@arnavbhattacharjee2035]

Okay, if this stupid algorithm is getting in the way, by all means post an extended version for us on vimeo or the site. It's fine if you don't want to, Linkara, but I think it's worth a go.

I knew there was another site besides Dailymotion and BitChute! Just couldn't remember it.

[@twilightozzylovelyrockocip8222]

I have had to watch this season a lot lately while babysitting so it has kinda grown on me. I even got the kid the morpher and he was ecstatic. He really likes Sarah and it's the cutest thing when he watches the show.

Lion galaxy? Ok Kyuranger adaptation confirmed. Prepare for a13 ranger team.

[@SuperWolsey]

Andrew Spencer Funny you say that considering how Bandai of America was banking on Kyuranger to come after Ninja Steel since they had a hand in the gimmick only for Haim Saban to throw up his hands and say fuck it and calls up Hasbro's CEO. Whoops!

[@JaelinBezel]

I thought he was gonna make a reference to Lost Galaxy.

[@oblivionslefthand]

Funny thing about those Morphers: in Ninninger, the Sentai Ninja Steel was based on, those were just weapons with multiple modes the Rangers would use. The actual Morphers were their Katana, which they would put their respective colored Shuriken/Ninja Stars in and spin them to transform. Not sure why they changed it when last season they kept the Gun Morphers. Maybe it was because they didn't think anyone would buy the big Shuriken toy if they didn't give it more significance.

[@ceruleanwalker1069]

Makes sense that the foot soldiers and enemies are designed after samurai. The natural enemy of the ninja. Also, Victor Vincent. What a guy.

[@thecornettmultiverse]

Sarah ended up being a great blend of the "hot girl" and "nerd genius" tropes in this series. She's also my favorite of this season.

[@autumbreeze1129]

Okay, that explains the Gigantifying thing to me. Due to only having been able to watch episodes 1 and 2 and the ending of episode 3, I missed the part where the audience can choose to Gigantify the monster or not, I was very negative about the method when I gave an early review of the series, heavily criticizing why they didn't Gigantify either Venjix or the Fear Cat during the first match. Glad to see you uploading this again. Looking forward to what comes next, especially when you cover the Anniversary episode.

[@blurobit1371]

If I'm being honest I'd rather watch the opening parody rather than Ninja steel itself.

[@maxmeidl4909]

Ninja Steel in a nutshell: A group of people become ninjas… nothing happens for forty-four episodes. Okay, thanks, bye.

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

SJ RANKS Gosei get the Hell lost, Nobody likes you!

[@Wanderingsage7]

I take it as either the powers were different enough that it got a pass, or the morphing Grid shorting out is what caused the ninja steel to be destroyed.

[@pn2294]

This segment is taken from the Sentai so I’ll give them a pass on that.

[@jackwells8107]

It's funny, because I found Atop the Fourth Wall while trying to find information about some Power Rangers seasons I'd missed. I love your comic reviews, but this is what brought me to you to begin.

Oh my god. With all this future technology, I've realised something. Ninja Steel led to Kamen Rider Shinobi.

12:05 You laugh, but ninja historically were early adopters of guns. In that context, blasters would be oddly par for the course, eh?

[@TheFormidibleDan]

After learning Cosmo Royale was the main villain in ToQger, I too wanted to see him be the big bad in Power Rangers.

[@MrAlman8]

They could've made Galavanax more like a evil Hollywood Hulk Hogan, with the boasting, and some kick ass feats to boost morale to future contenders, even do a commercial or so. Cosmo Royale would've been a great hidden big bad villain, hiding in plain sight like a ninja.

First off, you won't have to worry about the 'Super' thing in Beast Morphers. Second, I don't think you'll be complaining about an old villain returning rather than getting a fresh, new one in the future.

[@adrianharper9462]

Been a long time Power Rangers tackled the Ninja theme, and that was the start of PR filming in New Zealand.
