Dukemon22 of Rangerboard:
The new sentai is called "Genki Sentai Baruganger". (元輝戦隊バルガンジャー), could also be Motoki Sentai Baruganger.

Ataruman of Ragerboard:
The "Genki"/"Motoki" here has a literal translation of "Original Radiance". The "Valgan"/"Balgan"/"Valg"/"Balg" could be anything at this point.

Gold Samurai of Rangerboard:
Genki as in 元輝. 元 means former/origin. 輝 means shine/sparkle. Although I don't know where Barugan is from. But still, searching for 2011-53349 leads to nothing.

Lavender Ranger:
Don't forget it has been a year since Gokaiger's copyright was revealed. Actually, the copyright was revealed at the beginning of September. We got color confirmation in October, cast rumors in November and and finally a picture by December.

Gai CONFIRMED to return in Gokaiger

It had been rumored, I was half-hoping it was true and it turns out that yes, it is true. Gai Yuuki aka Black Condor is officially back in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger episodes this September. Thought to be dead since 1992 when Jetman ended (he was last seen stabbed) and even the Jetman manga (which may or may not be canon) had him dead and they had to get a new member, Green Eagle. 20 years later he's looking great! It is also reported that Yukito and Ranru (Sho Tomita of Abaranger) will return in September, and Joh Ohara of Liveman (Yellow Lion) as well.

People do survive from stabbings. And the Green Eagle was only in the Manga, which many fans don't find canon and seeing that he is indeed alive, I doubt Green Eagle will be in Gokaiger. It seems that Ranru/Abare Yellow will not be returning after all.

Mythical Destiny Online August 31st

Finally finished with my fan film Mythical Destiny. It took 2 years and it's not perfect and there are lots of things I wish I could fix. It is what it is, no excuses. Have a laugh. This was much harder than I originally thought. I shot this in the span of two summers, I didn't shoot anything at all during fall, winter or spring because of work, family problems and scheduling. All that could go wrong went wrong, my camera broke down (that's why some scenes are blurry--I did get a new camera), I got a mono microphone so some of the sound is off, some things you can't understand what they are saying, two people moved away and I had to re-cast one of the Rangers, so all the mistakes I'm using to go along with the comedy effect.

It's a comedy hands down. Anywayz, I'm going to have a big premiere with my friends on August 30th and it will be online on the YouTube channel August 31st and I will later post it here on Henshin Grid. The 30th I will have a big premiere with my friends with a fake red carpet in a big university auditorium and will take pictures and post them up here.

Bandai America correspondence "Back in the Day"

I was doing some summer cleaning and found this old letter. I used to send a lot of letters to Bandai America and recieve many back. I thought they were all gone. I remember one where I asked about who was the White Ranger (this was before "White Light" aired but the toys were already out in June) and they told me that was up to the show and not them. I don't remember what I wrote to them to get the letter below but I thought you guys would enjoy what they had to say. I hope I find more.


Lord Zedd and Emperor Zurg: Seperated at Birth?


This is probably old news but I recently noticed this as I just got my nephew Toy Story 2 and I hadn't seen it in a while. Even though Emperor Zurg was mentioned in the first movie Toy Story, we didn't see him and he didn't appear until Toy Story 2. Toy Story 2 wasn't released until 1999 and Zurg appeared in the Buzz Lightyear series, which began in 2000. Lord Zedd first showed up in Power Rangers in 1995. So I believe Zurg met had been subconsciously based on Zedd. His mouth looks like an upside-down version of Zedd's mouth and he seems to have the same vision thingy Zedd has. Bandai should had follow suit and had a hole in the back of Zedd's head to see through it in red like on the show. And don't forget the 'Z' on their bodies and headquarters.
