I can't tell if it's an English dude or a Japanese dude...I guess it's not the same dude as the Ghost Drive.

Don't think those are big spoilers, and most don't really talk too much about the character, but...

Yamato Kazakiri:
Human and a novice zoologist. As a child, Yamato was helped by a mysterious bird-man in the forest. As token, the bird-man gave Yamato a mysterious Cube. While Yamato is caring, he’s the type that struggles with taking on too much. Very strong willed; once his mind is set on something he’ll never change it.

Sela:
Shark Zyuman. While her original appearance looks cool, Sela is the type that doesn’t want to show others her weaknesses. She doesn’t like to lose and has very sharp hearing.

Leo:
Lion Zyuman. Usually calm but actually has a pretty bad temper. Leo is sensitive to his surroundings. Caring for those weaker than himself is his strength. His voice is strangely loud.

Tusk:
Elephant Zyuman. The most intelligent of the four Zyumans that traveled to the Human World. While he seems like the sensitive, unapproachable-type, he’s actually extremely kind. Has a sharp sense of smell.

Amu:
White Tiger Zyuman. At first glance, Amu seems to be the cute-type of woman. However, she’s more than just a pretty face. She’s able to read situations well and is shrewd. If she saw a person in trouble she’d help them. Has a strong sense of taste.

Mario Mori:
Yamato’s uncle. An eccentric animal sculptor who lives in a tree house equipped with an atelier that he works in. He allows Yamato and the four Zyuman to live with him.

It comes to my attention that there will be no romantic Red subplot due to the animal shenanigans at least. I doubt Toei would want parents to have to deal with that.

I would totally mess with kids and write stories about Red dealing with his clearly messed up feelings White or whatever. This is why I don't write Sentai.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
I'm looking at the "Tony the Tiger blocks furries" news and it makes me wonder how many kids are going to look at Zyuohger the wrong way.

True... along with Minerva Mink, Maid Marian in Disney's Robin Hood, Cheetara, and who knows what other anthropomorphic characters out there.

Then again, I've seen Go-Onger Engine porn. This wouldn't be the weirdest thing to come out of Super Sentai.

I hope Darwin ends up being used in a possible Ghost x Zyuouger crossover...I imagine we'll get one considering the last two seemed well receive.

The "no one can see the giant robot" bit writes itself considering ghosts and everything...

Power Rangers Dino Super Charge 1

And we're back.
Strong premiere. Both Heckyl & Snide set themselves up well, with Snide showing his violent side while Heckyl is more about strategy, but he's not above slaughtering his men. He's kind of like the Master from Doctor Who.

We got more of Koda's backstory, and it makes sense he would have ice PTSD.
Now that Kendall is Purple, I imagine we're going to get a lot more original footage of her.

Any word on a Zyuohger and Ghost crossover?
Click to expand...

Those are usually announced very close to the airing. I guess we might not get one this time though, at least not so early. The Kamen Rider 1 movie doesn't seem to involve Sentai at all. It's just "part 1" of the Super Hero Year though, so they could move it to a later spot, if there's an actual crossover movie later.

Necrom too strong, he will get nerfed hard.

Based on the toyline,
Ghost has one upgrade soon and then a final one after that. Specter also has one later upgrade around the time of Ghost's final one. Specter won't get anything new though, so he's starting from his peak and probably will be on par or even left behind by the others with the upgrades.

Ghost 16 was really cool. Great fight scenes, Necrom's actual necromancy (or something like that), and the music when he showed up was really hype (I hope it wasn't a third party music).

Though he's gonna get nerfed later in the series.

Yeah I love Heckyl and Snide. I like how Snide was clearly holding his own before having to retreat because of Heckyl. Cant wait to see the mindgames they pull on the Rangers.

Heckyl & Snide are going to be good foils for the Rangers this time around. Couldn't stop looking at Snide and just being like that's Ecliptor's cousin from another planet and if somebody actually cared they could make the reference work.

We know Sledge is coming back toward the end. Maybe they get to use some Chaos footage or something of the like or come up with something original which the show has no issue doing.

It was good to see Col. Truman again. Another escapee of that accidental alternate universe that's accessible by a train in not Japanzeland.

I've been wondering this whole time will Riley get some version of the Feather Edge? I don't think so because they haven't really focused much on his swordplay outside of battles but it would be interesting to see the approach the show could take with it. But Keeper has a lance so there's also that. You never know.

And holy shit at the show pushing bae Kendall to the fucking moon! She was a complete badass in that fight and looking at things we may get a lot more of her fighting than we ever got of Dr. Ulshade or Yayoi which Kyoryuger could've used more of.

Now we wait until an extended break between episodes because that's how Nick do that there.
