Go Busters Review #3 GT-02 Animal, Move Out!

We start off episode 3 with an arguement between Messiah, the big bad of the season and his human spy, the one who is able to walk freely between Hyperspace and earth.

I realized in my last review that I didn't have all the facts right.

For starters, Its not cyberspace, its Hyperspace, the big bad is not the one who keeps making the monsters every episode, that is his human spy named Enter, and the big bad is a digital skull by the name of Messiah.

The people who created the Go-Buster gear had created a technology to transport items across distance instantly.  Out of this program came Messiah, who started Vagrass and spawned Enter, yes, that is his name.

Messiah tried ot take over the company who responed by transporting the entire plant into Hyperspace.
This would have killed all humans inside since no humans can survive the teleport sequence but since the 3 future Go-Busters somehow had programs installed inside them, they survived as they were teleported out of the plant to safety with their buddyroids.

Anywho, It seems that Messiahs emotions control the area inside Hyperspace seeing as when he gets aggravated during the arguement, Enter tells him to calm down because it will destroy their roads to the human world which would take years to repair.

Messiah calms down telling Enter to destroy the humans, and the Go-Busters.

Enter returns to the real world dressed as a doctor in a hospital.

One other thing I should mention about Enter is that he likes to mix French in with his speech.

He attaches his computer, which is rather old and beat up, to a medicine cart by a syringe and creates Needle roid, which takes on the form of a robot with syringes for hands, wears a doctors lab coat and a tie made out of black and yellow danger material.

He also attaches his computer to the power terminal of the hospital which starts sucking Enertron out of the hospital power reserves.

The commander immediately sends out the Go Busters as a signal from a Megazord being transported reaches the base.

Needleroids power is to attach metal face masks to the staff of the hospital and they become his slaves. They don't move until an antannae comes out of his shoulder and sends out a signal. Which he does once the Go Busters enter the hospital and start investigating.

At which point the hospital staff attacks.

Being human, the Go Busters refuse to use more force than necessary to knock them out.

During an arguement between Hiromu and Yoko, it is revealed that yes, Red Buster is older than Yellow buster by 4 years, He is 20 and Yoko is 16 making the incident happen when he was 7 and she was 3.

Blue Buster looks on in amusement during this.

The busters henshin after a doctor comes running in and being chased by drones.

The doctor, and for those learning Japanese, Doctor is Hakase (ha, ka, say,) which seems to be a blanket term for doctor, professor, and the like. The doctor says that they are running low on Enetron and that the patients on life support and in the ICU will die if they don't get more soon.  Blue says he will take Gorisaki Banana, his gorilla buddy roid and get the Enetron from a nearby tank while Yellow and Red go to the generator room and stop NeedleRoid, who is there turning the hospital staff into half drones one by one.

It is shown that Enter can create drones simply by scanning a Metavirus card into his laptop and plugging it into an Enetron source, thereby draining more Enetron and creating several drones.

Red and Yellow continue to fight the half drone hospital staff while Blue and Gorisaki start taking Enetron from the tank to restock the hospital. The Megazord, which started transporting at the beginning of the episode appears. It seems that when a Megazord transports from Hyperspace it takes on some characteristics of the Metaroid that it was created for.

It is the debut of GT-02 robot form. Its main weapon is Banana Missiles.

It is revealed that it is Gorisaki Bananas first fight.

After a bit, Red Buster and Buster Ace join the battle and tell GT-02 to get the Enetron to the Hospital, where Yellow Buster had stayed behind to assist.

Blue Buster takes the lower route, which is under the bridge, that is on fire, it tries to take a point but a piece of the bridge breaks and they fall in the water.

After Buster Ace defeats the Megazord, the lights at the hospital go out and the patients and staff begin to panic.

The episode ends with GT-02 returning power to the hospital and a small friendly arguement between the 3.






CB-01, which turns into Buster Ace is released from 2 buildings being pulled apart.

GT-02 is released from a docks crate storage moving around to form a door.

This is the 3rd episode where the three don't combine their mechas to fight. It is to my knowledge the longest where this has occured being that the teams usually combine in episode 2 at the latest.

Red and Yellow seem to have a relationship in the making seeing as they are fighting in some fashion every episode.

Their weapons are what spies would typically use.  A camera that turns into a gun. Binoculars that turn into a sword and others.

When in buster form, they hit a button on their chests that transport different weapons to them, usually their swords.

What I find interesting is that in recent years, they have used english voice actors for some of their arsenal.

For instance, most of the weapons for go busters, including the morphin brace is an english actor. The brace shouts "ITS MORPHIN TIME" "LETS DRIVING" when entering the mecha, "ITS TIME FOR BUSTER" for the final attack, and "CALL MODE" when making a call from it.  The suits shout "TRANSPORT" when calling for weapons. The announcer for the episode title is also english.

In other sentai, such as Goseiger, Gosei Knights gosei cellular would call out the attacks in an english voice.

For Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Meteor, of Kamen Rider Fourze, has an English voice for his Arsenal.

This is the first, again just to my knowledge, Super Sentai to have an all english arsenal to call out their weapons.

Join me again next week when i cover Go Busters Mission 4.
