    This is "General Tokusatsu discussion", not "General Tonkatsu discussion"

    And Tonkatsu is breaded pork.

    A very long write-up on the Toei site for episode #25 of Donbrothers.

    https://www.toei.co.jp/tv/donbrothers/story/1229912_3246.html

    It's a pretty interesting read. A large part talks about disruptions in filming Donbrothers and Rider Time: Zi-O vs. Decade a couple of years ago during covid where plans for actors would change when they contracted covid or came into close contact with someone that had. Just when things had been solved with one cast member, it would happen with another and so-on.

    They didn't have time to wait for tests, self-isolating etc due to scheduling being so tight, so scripts needed to be re-written each day to constantly get around it - scripts changing so fast like a rollercoaster - like changing the story, giving things to a different character instead, removing characters entirely etc.

    They didn't know which version of the scripts would be used for filming until the last minute every day.Even this far into covid, it appears to still be a big struggle for them.

    We have the next Power Rangers team/season name: Cosmic Fury

    https://comicbook.com/powerrangers/...on-30-cosmic-fury-return-dino-fury-cast-2023/

    Also, for the first time since the Zordon era, the ranger team from the previous show is returning, with the Dino Fury Rangers becoming the Cosmic Fury Rangers. I guess I need to watch Dino Fury now.

    We don't know if this is an all original show which had been rumored, or an adaptation of Kyuranger, although the logo still including a T-Rex head makes me think its going to literally be like MMPR, with a new season reusing old suits but using zord footage from another season, which would really suck since I like the Kyu ranger suits a lot.

    Keeping the same cast for Cosmic Fury makes sense, given that two of the team members are aliens. I'd guess that DF will end with Zayto finally finding Rafkon or at least a lead to it, which will let them segue into a space-based season.

    I don't know if they'll use Kyuranger elements, though. I'd gathered that Hasbro's plan was to phase out the adaptation of Sentai footage and start making fully original Power Rangers shows. Although I'd been expecting that to mean a full reboot, but instead we're pretty much getting the opposite, a direct continuation with the same cast.

    This is the last season before the jonathan entwistle era.

    With cosmic fury I have a feeling we’re not getting a single sentai adaptation but a melting pot of many different elements

    throw in some toqger suits with zyuougher making a cameo and maybe zenkaiser as some type of cosmic power ranger

    everything except the kitchen sink

    Oh, I see. You mean the reboot (or whatever) will be the next series after this.


    I saw the same speculation in the comments on Tokunation's post. It's plausible that they could take costumes, props, and occasional footage from various series while putting it together in mostly a new way. Really, it's been common in the Hasbro seasons to use very little Sentai footage per episode, often nothing more than the giant battle and a few moments of ground-level action. And their original stunt/action game in Dino Fury has been quite impressive.

    Indeed, if this is the last series before a reboot, I suspect that could be why we haven't seen a followup on Lord Zedd's return. Maybe Cosmic Fury will be the big finale of the current continuity, bringing back the "original" archvillain and elements from throughout Power Rangers history in one big climactic storyline, maybe like that unmade Hexagon season was intended to be. So they might end up blending all sorts of stuff.

    We keep missing out on Orange Rangers in Power Rangers, and since its my favorite color I definitely want an official Orange Power Ranger at some point.

    Kai Moya and Jordan Fite implied that there's a significant chance that Cosmic Fury is going to use 100% original footage and tell a completely original story, but they also said some things that were contradictory to that implication, so we'll see what ultimately happens.

    Last weekend, I started a rewatch of Dino Fury, and today I started a rewatch of Dino Thunder, and while I've heretofore been very critical of the latter, I'm actually enjoying it just as much this time around as I've been enjoying the former.

    Season 2 of Dino Fury has dropped on Netflix.


    We also got the new trademark for the 2023 sentai. It's a mouth full

    The motif heavily rumored is bugs in some capacity. That is just a rumor until we get some concrete evidence.

    So basically it's King Sentai King-King-ger. That's startlingly redundant.

    This sounds goofier than most, could this be a "Fake Name" made to throw people off as to what the real name is?

    It's not a press release, though. The source is a Japanese Twitter account called trademark_bot, whose bio (translated) reads, "An unofficial bot that tweets a summary of all trademark applications in the latest public trademark publication." So it's not Toei releasing the name themselves, it's an automated bot listing all the trademarks applied for in Japan, including this one.

    I believe it's not unheard of for a studio to register multiple trademarks associated with a property, whether to conceal the real one or to prevent someone else from acquiring a relevant trademark they may decide they want to use. But this is just one trademark, so if it's the only one they've filed for, I don't see how it could be fake.

    Interestingly. The "KING" Kanji has 6 lines, almost like bug legs..............


    It's only "redundant" in a literal English translation. Which some might view as an awfully geocentric view.
