In honor of the July release of Pacific Rim and August release of Gatchaman, I will be doing reviews of each episode of Chojin/Choujin Sentai Jetman.
I sort of did not like the depiction of Kaori in this "The Fighting Bride" episode. She seemed a bit too camp not wanting to do things that she wanted to do. And it seemed a little forced or badly edited that she did it because she was a princess.
And the fiancee is a bit one dimensional.
This and the previous episode definitely sets up the ending however. Ryu telling Kaori to believe in herself. Kaori wearing a wedding dress. Etc..
However, there is probably something about Japanese culture I do not get. The Samurai for example, like an American being a patriot, a soldier or a police officer.
Fall for Me develops Grey, although all he says is "Jetman, huh?" in the beginning.
Meanwhile, Tran hits the primary Sentai colors Red, Yellow and Blue with a car in a Road Jigen episode after trapping them in a 4 sided wall before a House Jigen episode.
Kaori is sad that she was not able to perform the Jet Scramble. The Vyram all work together to destroy the Earth, although they don't trust each other. Tran proves to be quite a threat. Kaori and Gai prove to have a lot of Terminator horror tropes.
Ryu finds out Maria is a brainwashed Rie during which Kaori's desperation to live (or her jealousy over Rie) forces her to save Ryu.
The Road (Jigen) is over. The 5 are together again.
Or are they?
