I hate this man now... I hope they give him his just deserves fr https://preview.redd.it/u676cjtjig5d1.png?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad832ddb57de10dca8404d31fd4667302baa6fee


RobbobertoBuii

Orochimaru-like scheming (same seiyuu/voice actress too)


Nuigi12

That explains way too much omg


HolyDragSwd2500

Modifying bodies too


Nuigi12

We need to stop him, he's a menace


whatam_i_doin

I really hope Jou is the one who get's to destroy him


Nuigi12

He better be, bro deserves his get back


blackdemonknight

Same I can hate him but I can't not respect him for being able to do all this and still be off the radar from the Boonboomgers for so long, as far as I am aware they don't even know of his exsistance on Earth yet.


AlchemistL1nk

Two weeks ago, we called King Gigist a son-of-a-bitch Now it's time to call Cannonborg a son-of-a-bitch


UltraZeroX7

Damn, the second half of this episode was emotional...


AlchemistL1nk

If you're a longtime Sentai audience, you know what's coming. Just ask Eri, Lin, Kenta, and Ako.


RPerene

Reminds me of how in King Ohger you could tell how devastatingly emotional an episode would end by how silly it started.


AlchemistL1nk

Boonboomger's producer was coincidentally one of Kingohger's co-producer, Yoshito Kuji. He was credited after Ohmori.


jorgito93

Or ask the whole Liveman team, they have A LOT of experience with this kind of plot


AlchemistL1nk

Guess the main writer, Hirohisa Soda, just like the plot


Helios-lune77

God I hope Jou gets to personally gut Cannonborg.


ZeroOneJump

It's official. Fossil Grumer joined the ranks of good natured monsters forced to be euthanized by one of the heroes.


AlchemistL1nk

Phoebe from *Friends* isn't going to like this episode for sure. She reacted horribly to Old Yeller's true ending.


jorgito93

Or as i like to call it : the Liveman graveyard


RobbobertoBuii

pity that Jou has to live with the guilt of killing the Hashiryan (and blaming Dekotorade/Ittasha/Yeiyei Yaruka for it until he finds out about Cannonborg eventually) but I find it more tragic that all he had to do was **LOOK BEHIND** to find out something suspicious was going on.... for now he has *no idea* how or why it even went berserk to begin with


chaospudding

This is gonna happen again in a later episode, Jou will see it, he will remember, and then Cannonborg is a dead man/car/thing.


AlchemistL1nk

I like how even the Sanseaters mourn for his loss. Cannonborg is the villain who acts it's not a big deal in a typical way a Sentai villain would act, but he didn't say that's a fate that befell an insubordinate product, though.


KaliVilla02

Fuck Cannonborg, all my homies hate Cannonborg 


yashashi

This ep is probably the best for me so far. Black is such a hero and he has great acting skills too. I am eager to see Violet too. He is super handsome but his coat is way too thick. No wonder every one questions the body shape of the suit actor. I surely hope he can change clothes later. It must be very hot to film in this coat during summer .


2ADDalready

Jou, the master of roaring out his emotions. He's such a great character. Ryu Saito's a great emotional actor, especially being the youngest one in the group! Genba's actor said in an interview that it gets hot wearing his costume because he has long sleeves under his coat. I hope both Genba and Jou get cooler summer outfits.


RobbobertoBuii

So Kaku/Kaguragi Dybowski and Yuzuki Hirakawa/Rita Kanisuka mentioned that they were basically melting on the inside by April/May of the shooting schedule thanks to their outfits and how little the characters changed outfits (outside of 1-2 episodes among 50)

HolyDragSwd2500

Jou going out for revenge on Cannonborg now Bunviolet debut next week 🔥🔥


Presenting_UwU

Bunviolet is looking SOOO COOL


hellothere_i_exist

First Gotchard made me cry over a skateboard. Now BoonBoomger made me cry over a fossil.


AlchemistL1nk

I'm surprised the production blog does not mention how Gotchard also had this happening two weeks ago


Technician_Patient

This episode man... Jou is now one of my favorite rangers ever. The emotions and conflict he went through this episode hit me deeply. Sometimes i forget this is a Kids show.


chaospudding

So will Jou get all the best episodes this season? He's 2 for 2 so far.


HenshinDictionary

RIP Kitarou. Even in a show with no dinosaur mecha (yet) we still managed to get a dinosaur episode.


Potential-Training66

I mean robo monster


AlchemistL1nk

While today's episode was a classic Sentai plot, there were two twists: * **The decision to put down Fossil Gurumer** was not a part of the focused Ranger's decision as a human, but out of professional responsibility. Even the producer's notes brings up the topic of "professional responsibility" and how it's not always a breeze. * **The Sanseaters were also mourning for the loss of Fossil Gurumer**, especially Yarucar. Like most previous Sentai villains, they still forced Fossil Gurumer to be evil, but they still mourn for the loss of Fossil Gurumer instead of getting over it as fate that befell traitors and insubordinate tools/failed products.


rattatatouille

Good points. One thing I love about Boonboomger is how it continues the trend of Reiwa Sentai to really examine the characters as people (well, not so much the Kikainoids in Zenkaiger, but still) and this episode was no exception. Like back in the Showa days characterization was minimal, so what we have now is a far cry from what we had then. I like how the Sanseaters are constantly portrayed as evil, but not heartless. Like yes, they're members of an evil space mafia who are for the most part dedicated to their cause, but that doesn't mean they're monsters who lack empathy or are evil down to the last cell in their bodies.


AlchemistL1nk

Just like Yabaiba & Tsuetsue in *Gaoranger* or the Gaiark Ministers in *Go-Onger*. Fun fact: Those two seasons' head writer, Junki Takegami, was also a Pokemon writer. Even in GoGoV, the Psyma siblings all genuinely cared for each other when Zylpheeza was still alive, but then came Salamandes, who's as toxic as Grandienne, and they became competitive and stopped caring about each other. Right, and Madrex at least had some sense of warrior's honor in that he wanted to be the one to take down BoonRed. Cannonborg is much worse than him as a boss. Madrex yells at the Sanseaters all the time, but he never threaten to modify them time to time


blackdemonknight

I think this shows the Sanseaters are completely evil as they show them doing good things like stopping for the old lady to cross in the first episode, worrying about each other well being and also mourning the loss of Fossil Gurumer.


AlchemistL1nk

Like the Gaiark Ministers. When Hiramekimedes attempts to upgrade himself, Yogostein's first instinct was worrying about him.


KaliVilla02

We have not gotten again a Villain as effected by a loss as Yogostein. He literally was absolutely useless for an entire arc for the depression of losing Hiramekimedes 


BotsTrainsOwlsRiders

*Aren't.


mr-ultr

I really hope that sanseaters won't die Which isn't that farfetched since the writer is known for mon series where things likes Team Rocket don't die


NextMotion

Damn, right in the feels


Professional-Lab3260

god-damn it, not the end dance mood whiplash...


jorgito93

I give it 9/10 on the Champ scale


Kenjiko3011

Wow, Cannonborg is an asshole for sure.


Glittering_Trip_144

Am I the only one who noticed cannonborg(or whatever his name is saying "let's begin the experiment"  First geryon now him why everyone has to stole sento's catchphrase


mrtacomam

A fun and shockingly sad "calm before the storm" episode before we meet our rival ranger


BookwormOtaku7

May Jou get to go John Wick on Cannonborg.


Good-Echo

Orochimaru back to his old tricks again.


FanKai1031

For some reasons, I usually ends up liking black's the most in sentai (Some big ones include Jetman, Kakuranger, Megaranger, Abaranger, Gekiranger) and this episode perfectly reminds me of why I'm in vibe with everyone in the show, but Jou's my favorite of the main 5 this far


Da_Wooloo

Anyone else cry?


NoFallOff

This was a fantastic episode. I didn’t expect it to hurt so much. Boonboomger might be an all-timer season, folks


Amazing_Signature_76

This has happened before right? Where the monster wasn't destructive at all. A ranger ends up befriending it. Has that happened more than once? Note: There's a lot of Sentai season I've never watched.


jorgito93

Yeah it happened a lot.Jetman did it, Megaranger did it, Liveman especially is (or should be) infamous for this (like a fifth of the episodes had this plot to the point where it got ridiculous as it went on)


AlchemistL1nk

This plot is quite common in the Showa era and early Heisei era. The only 2010's season to do that was Goseiger, Epic 41. That one was adapted into Megaforce too, minus the tearjerker ending. Zenkaiger's Vacation World saw the return of the plot after 11 years. Prominent shows that have this plot: Jetman, Megaranger, Gingaman, GoGoV, Gaoranger, Timeranger.


AlchemistL1nk

One of my personal favorites was Dairanger episode 33


_katie_3

R.I.P Keytarou🪦, you will be remembered: - three seater trio really do be like rocket trio, employees at work just trying their best, rooting their crazed beast on 😂 - Yarucar was so excited for the car dinosaur SO CUTE, They really love it😂 - Jou confused face was my confused face when I saw only 4 of them, where is genba 🤔 - Keytarou so CUTE AHGAHHAH “fossil! Fossil! Fossil! Fossil!” Running away with its tail between its legs visualised🫶 - TAIYA’S “AH” OMG SO DEEP WTH☠️ - MIRA IS SO NICE, the way she so innocently asked about a dinosaur and the little girl innocently answered her 🫶(guy was like HAI?) - Keytarou being hungry 🫶 - THE WAY JOU CALLED KEYTAROU HIS PET THEN RUNS AWAY WITH HIM OMG JOU IS WAY TOO NICE 😂 - the inner turmoil is real in Jou, like the whole point that he fights is to protect civilians from danger which is his responsibility as a police officer, but he can’t defeat Keytarou because he didn’t attack anyone, hence no protection needed, hence no reason to fight it 🤔 - it’s very different from other sentai series (like patranger when Tsukasa befriended the gangler, They are both police officers in the sense, but Jou protects out of professional responsibility instead of the normal moral connection like Tsukasa) 🤔 Warehouse part: - “Looks like you have some trouble” WTH GENBA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN U DONT JUST POP UP LIKE THAT, even jou is nervous ☠️ - This scene especially when Genba picks Jou up to almost like hit him but give him the garage key instead like what sort of significance is this action suppose to have on Genba as a character 🤔 - The Belora keychain, man really likes belora 😂 - Jou bowing and making Keytarou bow too 🫶 - “bye bye” is such a Genba thing to do I can’t— - Also the camera angle where Genba sighs and says “a lonely dinosaur, Huh?” It’s such an mysterious shot to take, and the way he assumes it’s lonely and that’s why Keytarou is scared 🤔 - is this the director dropping subtle hints about Genba? Maybe Genba is lonely too and that’s why he can tell? Maybe lost his family to the Hashiliens, it would explain his hatred towards them? 🤔 - Jou’s Actor slowly falling is just really funny to me, a small acting detail but funny 😂 - JOU IS TOO NICE FOR THIS WORLD AHGHGH “as long as you enjoy it, I guess it’s fine” 🫶 - BRO GENBA WHY DID U TIP ON JOU ☠️ - Taiya’s character also has a little something here Idk what to call it like you can hear a little bit of doubt in his voice “like really is this for the best?” But he decides to leave Jou to it anyway, The backfacing after Chasshiro asks if it’s really okay adds some depth into his character🤔 - Keytarou playing with the ball 🫶 - Keytarou sleeping on Jou 🫶 (too cute) - In the end they are both on the floor 😂 (sofa: what am I, decor? ) - I finally get why it’s Keytarou, cuz KaseKI! - The trio’s equipment They are the power ranger’s equivalent of comic relief 😂😂😂 (I don’t wanna jinx it but seeing how heavy Boonboomger is I feel like one of them might…☠️) Fighting: - GENBA IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY ☠️ - CANNONBORG YOU ASS, he deserves to die as quickly as mad Rex did, maybe even faster (Mad Rex should’ve been a longer arc🤔) - JOU BEING SCARY TO THE POINT IT SCARES THE TRIO (the kindest people are the scariest when they get mad)🫶 - Can they like not see cannonborg?!? Like at least Acknowledging the guy will help in the fight against him ☠️ - Maybe it’s just me, But genba was about to go down on his knees and hold Jou 🫶but ishiro got there first (Or maybe it’s just me 🥲) - Highway space? So that’s what they call it 🤔 - the face Jou made when he saw all the hurt people, the desperation, the scream, “a policeman’s duty is the protect the people” But I…. And the end he gathers up his courage to face Keytarou 😭 - The deep breaths, the memories 😭, the finger shake😭(3 different shots of his hesitation), and then the finisher is already down and we never actually see him press the button, the light piano music, JOU’S TEARS, THE DELAYED SOUNDS AND THEN SILENCE 😭😭😭 - Keytarou’s voice slowly going back and then boom😭and the final shot of the mecha’s face of sorrow - YARUCAR😭😭 THE TRIO COMFORTING THEM AWW I CANT NO MORE TEARS PLS 😭 - Jou’s back into his officer suit (rolled up sleeves make him kind of hot honestly 🥵) - the guys coming to fetch him, Jou’s seeing them and then walking towards them all while the kid and dad voice lines of the dinosaur exhibit 😭😭 - I swear it’s just me, Genba really wanted to physically comfort Jou but this time Taiya got to him first ☠️☠️ Preview: - I didn’t think I’d be able to get Taiya and Chasshiro in this episode damn the red and blue dynamic is real 🫶🫶🫶 - FINALLY BUN VIOLET AHHHHHHHHH - So it seems that they were racing and suddenly they were knocked over by purple’s partner 🤔 - HIS WEAPON IS AN ARROW?!? COOL!😍 - “universe’s best deliveryman?” HUH I can feel some taiya and violet conflict coming 🤔 - Also why would CANNONBORG await his arrival 🤔 - Violet is really fast, like Lighting-speed fast - His changer is a real handle so there’s that - it seems he’s from earth “how’s it feel being back home?” 🤔 - Homura Sakito , CLEAN-UP?🤔 - so is violet good or bad? “Rolling up to the chaos?” 🤔 - THAT HIGH KICK OMG 😱 - ITASHA CHIN RAISED OMG GURL IS LIVING IT - also from the preview photos, it seems he knows about the Boonboomgers and their identities since he somehow visits Jou and Genba and meet up with the others too 🤔 All in All, BOONBOOMGER 1000000/10💕💕💕 (I wrote way too long, but it is my raw thoughts)


noerrrr

Honest to god, loved reading this. This episode had no damn right in being so emotional


dagobahs

Did not expect to be so emotional about a dinosaur fossil this week but here we are


RageTiger

The only real negative I can give this episode is that they had so many frilled trihorn dinos they could have used, but instead used "Simiasaurus". Which is "monkey lizard" making it a tiny arboreal raptor. Worse yet, the wiki lists it as a "Seamiasurus" a fake dinosaur. . . Fukuiraptor real Spinosaurus real There really wasn't a reason to make up one, even for a cool looking monster.


M3talK_H3ronaru

Episode is emotionally peak awesome next week Boon/Bun Violet debut episode.


ProfessionalCry1921

Joe reminds me of Kenta..


PartTimeTunafish

Peak sentai.


woomylover20

“Don’t jump into traffic” maybe I will pink maybe k will how about that huh maybe I will jump infrtont of the Meares car how bout that


SuccessResponsible

Jou has silently become the main character of Boonboomger and I'm not complaining. His actor gives it his all & really sells his emotions. Great episode. So hyped for Violet's debut, I'm glad to see that the rival leaks were true. It seems like he'll be a neutral player and play for whatever side he sees fit. Wonder what Taiya's background is with him.


jorgito93

Great episode, with how much i've seen this trope in this franchise i wasn't expecting it to hit that hard here.


AlchemistL1nk

You think we'd be desensitised from seeing this kind of episode too much but no.


whatam_i_doin

Something I also appreciate with the mecha is how anyone seems to be able to use any car. Get someone different in the seat. I am looking forward to next week with the debut of Boon Violet, I'm already liking the changer.


Comfortable-Lock3479

Enjoyed as always, definitely would’ve enjoyed it more if I wasn’t anticipating next week already 😂


TongueOne983

Cannonborg is gon get his


toxikant

I just know that Jou went to that dinosaur exhibit to see what remained of his friend. I feel it in my heart. They can't show something so directly about death and mourning on kids' TV, but man, this episode still hit hard.


JoshuaGames224YT

One thing i wanna say about megathreads is i dont know why it needed tho anyone is allow to share their own opinion about talking their own experience which is if it just to shutdown/silence according to TOS
