Full scene and still gives you zero context. legendary.

[@aRandomFox00]

Context: The source of the clip is Super Sentai, the original japanese series which Power Rangers was based off of. In this episode, the bad guy of the week has nightmare powers. This character has a phobia of hospitals and cops, and so was sent into a nightmare featuring both.

Even if people KNOW the context (illusion by tanuki-themed Youkai monster of the week yadda yadda), none of it makes the iconic moment any less of a wacky non-sequitur.

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

​​@@richardauthement3105But Super Sentai wasn't adapted into Power Rangers until the 90's, and even with all its goofy moments, Sentai during this time period had many, MANY dark and violent moments that had to be changed in order to be shown on American children's television. It depends on what moments we're talking about. So "ha!" nothing.

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

It's easy to make a sarcastic statement regarding the tone on one, isolated scene that's clearly not trying to be dark and serious. I don't make the easy choice.

[@miyako1909]

It is the truth, though. Most Super Sentai series are perfectly balanced between comedy and dark moments. They sure have funny moments, but when the serious scences hit, they hit hard. Like Abarangers has some pretty funny moments, but when Abare Killer died, it is just tragic. The same goes for Super Sentai's brother franchise, Kamen Rider. Kamen Rider is even darker and gorier.

TODAY IS THE LAST FRIDAY IN CALIFORNIA FOR 2023

[@Jose123.00]

So here is the context: This is an episode of Kakurenja, one of the many iterations of the super sentai franchise. In this episode they have to fight an enemy that’s some kind of badger youkai who has cartoonist powers. He can create a manga, trap his enemies inside, and alter the outcome of the story at will. He can also spawn minions by drawing them with a brush. The video depicts the moment in which one of the rangers is attacked by some of the manga minions as part of the story designed by the badger youkai, which obviously involves them being constantly taunted and injured. The police officer who says “Today is Friday (or fine day?) in California” is one of the minions, who’s supposed to be an LA police officer. He is just one of the drawings randomly brought to life by the youkai. The whole story doesn’t make sense because it’s just a device used by the youkai to keep them trapped. This scene is just one of several minor plots. The actual physical manga is being read by a little kid who bought it from the youkai some moments before this scene (the youkai, in his human form, had been patiently waiting for someone to buy and read this manga so his plan could be set into motion). I realized there is actually a fandom page of Kakurenja in English with the explanation of this specific episode here: powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Ep._46:_The_New_Year%27s_Manga_Hell
