Samurai Sentai Shinkenger Ep 45: The Impersonator

When the Shinkenger (sorry, I get confuse) came back home, Hikoma tells the gang the truth. Karou's Kuroko come take over the place. Hanba is Kaoru's handler came in, taking Takeru's arsenal and berating Genta for just being a sushi chef. Kaoru tells Hanba to shut his mouth repeatedly and hit him. She already has a problem fitting into the team and he was making it that more difficult for her to be accepted. The gang is not sure what they feel about Kaoru, neither do fans. Takeru comes and bows to the vassals, thanking them for protecting him. We are served a flashback explaining a bit about Karou's father & Takeru's father. Kaoru's mother was pregnant with her when doukou was sealed. Genta gives Takeru a pep talk but he slips from him, Genta tells Hikoma he is concerned. Takeru goes to his fathers grave and finds Juzo who doesn't care he isn't the lord and fights him, Takeru is more than willing.













Good episode, not a lot new done but it was cool to see Kaoru can handle herself in a fight and have a gull to shoot the enemies with the bazooka. It was touching to see how much the vassals care about Takeru, even Chiaki. Maybe after all they have been through, Takeru believes the vassals only cared for him because they thought he was the lord. But in reality they care for him because he is who he is, Takeru.

Next week Takeru fights Juzo, maybe to the death. Hikoma gets in between and it looks like Takeru is using Hikoma is being used as a shield. Karou uses Genta's Lobster Origami.

Turns out, I was right. Yuuichi Hachisuka is the stunt person for the female Shinken Red. I had a feeling it would be him because he is already a regular on the show, playing Shitari. He is 5'5" tall. He has played Mele, Bouken Yellow, Magi Mother, Deka Bright, Mega Yellow, Blue dolphin, and Time Green to name a few. In his career, he has only played three male Rangers and this is his first red one. Guess it helps being short.

You know I was actually hopping it would be the suit actress who played kamen rider amaki or dekapink just cause since this was a first female red after all.

who did kamen rider amaki ? Miho Kojima was dekapink.

Would it be in bad form to mention that you got the series wrong? They're Shinkengers, not Shurikengers :)

Yuuki Ono did Kamen rider amaki but i just notice...:lol: she seems kinda tall when she did that role.

Guess Kaoru is actually not that strict and Hanba is the actual jerk.

Lavender Ranger said...

psowill, How you know that Yuuki Ono did Kamen Rider Amaki? Where did you see this? I am super curious now because I had not find out that information!

heyyz...just a side note...remember i mentioned about similar fighting scenes in both kamen rider and super sentai? In this week's ep of kamen rider and shinkenger, I think they went to the same place. I describe that place as behind a stadium like building.
