Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters Missions 4 and 5

Sorry for the long delay folks, after realizing how long it took me to get episode 4, I thought

I'd do a special and do Episodes 4 and 5 together for one big review. So here we go Tokumei

Sentai Go-Busters Mission 4: Of Resolve and the Mission, and Mission 5: The Danger of

Overheating,

We start off Episode 4 with more exposition by the Narrator, The go busters base is 70 Meters

underground and stretches for more than 2.7 Kilometers to the north and south and 3.5 to the

East and West.

CB-01 is undergoing an upgrade process which is nearly completed and will give the team a

greater advantage over the Vagras, their Metaroid monster of the weeks and the Megazords.

It is shown that to transfer from the earth to Hyper Space a transport system is needed, which

is a bit of an obvious, but the base learned that it is a very inaccurate science and the

Metaroids are something of a Tracer point that the Megazords aim for, though sometimes come out

at most 3 kilometers from the source of its tracer.

Which means that any attempt to send the Go Busters into hyperspace could strand them there

with no way home, far from their intended destination.

Red BUster, Hiromu insists that the commander is scared while saying that it is worth a try if

it will save the humans sent there with Messiah 13 years ago. For the first time, Yoko, Yellow

Buster, agrees with Hiromu instead of arguing with him and pleads with the commander to

consider it.

They get a call from a different Facility and get sent out on a mission because Enter had been

spotted at an Enetron tank. The busters get there only to find him cutting and eating a pizza.

After a brief bit of dialog, he creates a new Metaroid out of the Pizza Slicer, This one named

Cutteroid, which calls for another Megazord to be brought out and prepare for teleportation.

It is revealed that Enter can transport anywhere, not just into hyperspace but from one

location on earth to another.

The Blue and Yellow Busters henshin and summon their Ichigan Busters in blaster mode to fight,

while Red Buster calls for his Sougan Blade.

After a short battle, Cutteroid flees the scene to attack guards at the Enetron plant but

disappears shortly after that too.

Cutteroid appears after Hiromu discovers that their intended target was not the Enetron tank

right there, but the one within 3 kilometers away from it. So Nick and Hiromu head towards the

scene to get into battle.

After morphing on his bike, Hiromu enters CB-01 and it transforms into bot mode. It is shown

that he can hover a small distance above the ground as well as run.

After realizing that this megazord is too strong for him, the commander sends out GT-02 and

RH-03 out to help.

Enter gets excited when the megazord opens the first armor plate exposing the enetron plant. He

then tells the megazord to start transfering it to Messiah.

The other two appear now and interrupt the transfer.

Some more from a previous scene is brought up about the scientinsts installing the vaccine

program into themselves.  Blue and Yellow are fighting during this time with Cutterroid and are

near defeat until after the memory that played, Which makes them go back to fight in earnest.

It should be noted that during this fight, only Buster Ace is being piloted. The megazord is

working on its own and the BUddyroids are fighting in the vehicles.

Calling on all their power, Red Buster makes Buster Ace go to 100% power, throw his sword at

the megazord, which can deflect most attacks with an energy shield, and then throw all its

weight against the sword which goes into the head of the megazord. The megazord responds by

cutting into the cockpit of Buster Ace, fortunately it shuts down before it can do anything to

Hiromu or Nick.

The episode ends with commander admitting he was afraid to try to rescue the scientists

transported to Hyperspace and one of the crew members telling them that they snuck a tracker of

their own into the Enetron figuring it would allow them to transport into Hyperspace with it as

a start point.

So ends episode 4, Before we go on to episode 5, I want to get something out of the way first.

I have seen it online and in different media about Tokumei Gattai, if you go back at least

until Dekaranger, the combined robot is usually the name of the sentai gattai team-OH, for

instance, Shinkenger was Samurai Gattai, Shinken-oh, Gokaigers was, Kaizoku Gattai, Gokai-Oh.

It has been 4 episodes and so far nothing has come up about combining the Buster Machines at

all.

When it comes up, Which as far as i know is breaking a record for longest without combining, I

am just going to assume that the robot will be Tokumei Gattai, Buster-Oh.

Anyway, on to episode 5.



We start episode 5 with the Megazord from episode 4 being examined as it hadn't exploded after

the fight. The main point of it is to see if it will tell them anything about Vagras.

The base has figurines for each of the megazords, and nickname the first 3 Alpha, Beta and

Gamma, Nick picks up Gamma and says that it was pretty rough.

This causes an arguement with Usada Lettuce about Nick's power, Which prompts Nick to call him

Antennae Ears, which is a play on a joke with old Television sets. Back in the old days,

Televisions had antennae that would go on top of them and plug into them. These were referred

to is Rabbit Ears or Bunny ears.

The show ignores the fighting for now and concentrates on the dialog between the 3 busters.

After a butchered saying by Yoko, the commander says that he has the next mission for them.

The camera returns to the Buddyroids who are still fighting and have been heard in the

background during the exchange between the busters.  Nick appears to be trying to throw Usada

but Gorisaki Banana is preventing it.

The fighting stops when commander makes his announcement of the next mission.

Their mission is to protect a supply truck that is restocking the Enetron tank destroyed in the

last episode.

Enter installs the metavirus into an old Bicycle making Tireroid.

Once Tireroid is up and running, the base gets a signal that a new Megazord is coming.

It is an Alpha type megazord.

Yoko tries shooting it which works for about 3 seconds because it just gets up and keeps

running. She fires again and it dances around the road, while keeping its speed, and dodges her

attacks. Her last attack hits and Tireroid fires a blast at the truck which seems to do nothing

when it hits.

Ryuta tells Hiromu to keep going and that they will take care of the Metaroid. When it tries to

go around the van Ryuta and Yoko are in, Ryuta slams into him and they henshin. Getting out of

the van Blue and Yellow Buster call out their names and begin the fight.

We return to Hiromu who calls for his Ichigan Buster after the truck goes past him.  He turns

it into Camera mode and takes a picture of the truck which scans it and can tell there is

something wrong with the tire.

After a short bit with TireRoid, Blue and Yellow Busters are fighting with the standard grunts.

Cutterroid targets Blue who leaves Yellwo to handle the grunts.  He tries to fight back but he

overheats because he is pushing himself too hard.  He manages to crush the hands of Tireroid

and even keeps fighting harder than usual.  He starts firing wild shots from the Ichigan buster

and is more maniacal than the coolheaded blue warrior we are used to from him.

Yoko notes that this is probably his weak point.

A brief scene where Hiromu shoots the tire of the truck and gets it to stop before they return

ot the other two.

Gorisaki tells Yoko that there is nothing to do for Ryuta except wait for him to crash when

Yoko says she will stop him. Ryuta doesn't recognize friend or foe and fights whatever gets in

his way.  He defeats the Metaroid by himself and demorphs from it.  Yoko goes over to him which

causes her to get slammed into a wall.

Ryuto punches the wall next to her head when she questions her. Gorisaki shows up through a

tunnel that is too small for him.  He gets to the scene just after Ryuta faints and she starts

crying from the shock.  Gorisaki pours ice down over Ryuta and Yoko is told to rendevoux with

Hiromu and she runs off.

Usada tells Hiromu that Yoko is in shock and to be nice to her.  When Yoko gets there, the dirt

on her gloves has rubbed off on her face when she was rubbing her eyes.

In a bit of a humorous moment, Nick pulls his mirror from his vehicle mode out and shows Yoko

her face. In my opinion that was pointless seeing as there was a giant traffic mirror right

there, they even used it so Hiromu could see Yoko running towards them.

After an exchange between Hiromu and Yoko, the megazord transports in and CB-o1 and RH-03 are

launched.  Hiromu says he will handle the megazord and tells Yoko to escort the truck. Before

heading off to fight, Hiromu gives Yoko his handkerchief to wipe her face off with.

Transforming, Yoko enters RH-03 and Hiromu goes off on Nick to fight.

As stated before, the megazord is an alpha type megazord with asthetics of the metaroid on it,

this one having the ability to skate by transforming his feet into wheels.

After some exposition with Ryuta about his relationship with Yoko, he puts on his jacket and

heads out.

At the battle, Hiromu is fighting, and is about to use his final attack when the Megazord moves

out of the way, revealing a billboard displaying a chicken. This freezes Hiromu using his weak

point which for some reason is activated by a chicken.

The megazord goes after the Enetron truck, and consequently, after Yellow Buster.  Yellow is

saved by Blue Buster and GT-02.

The two talk briefly and then go after the megazord who is now firing at the Enetron truck.

Yoko turns her mecha into animal mode and after a brief fight, kicks the megazord who lands on

Buster Ace, Hiromu, still half frozen doesn't break out of it fast enough. He breaks out of it

immediately after that and uses Final Buster to destroy the megazord.

The three cut to the site of the enetron tank where the truck has just delivered the enertron

and machines are repairing the tank itself.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger as the eye on the Megazord from episode 4 lights back up.




Well there you have it folks, 5 missions down. That is at least 1/10th of the season done.  We

are about a month into the show and it is going great so far. They are really holding out on us

with Buster-oh. We all know it is coming, but i guess that they are building up the suspence

until they make the big reveal.

This is the third mission focusing only on one specific mecha during the fight, well i can't

say that really. The first episode was for CB-01 and Buster Ace, then we had an episode where

CB-02 was the bigger help than Ace and this time, it was because of RH-03 that the Busters won.

I am sure the gatta formation will come soon, and from what i have seen, they are FINALLY

getting away from the mecha fold up and become limbs.  That is something i personally have been

really missing, I don't want to see one upper body and the other two becoming arms or legs, I

like it when they other mechas come apart and form body armor, or all three come apart and go

back together.

As opposed to episode 3 more pair of glasses was thrown this time. Man, they must go through a

fortune on the glasses alone.

Cutterroids special ability is to cut things obviously due to its name.

Tireroids ability seems to be able to run Super Fast even able to keep up with a truck.  It can

also shoot a device into a machine and make it go out of control.

RH-03's animal mode, a rabbit of course, can hop around and fight with fierce tackle attacks

and kick with its hind legs. It also has a special ability in that it can transform its ears

into the helicoptor rotors they are made from and dig with them.

I thought these two episodes were pretty good, The show is well paced and its never too easy to

guess what is coming next.  The Megazords having 3 different bases as opposed to the human

sized villain becoming big is a nice change of pace that we haven't seen since Dekaranger, or

Go onger, as i haven't seen Go onger yet.

I have to say that the only things we can really predict is that they will get at least 2 more

busters, which have already been revealed and maybe a sixth.  Then the other is that Enter will

eventually fight the busters himeslf.

Again sorry for the late update, but i will see you next week for Tokumei Sentai GO BUsters

episode 6
