    August's scans are coming in as WLV's post about Zyuoh-Bird's name indicated, the ones in the box being about Ex-Aid with translation thanks to the guy behind The Ghouly News tumblr.

    Here's a shot of Ex-Aid's Lv1. It turns out it borrows a bit from both Kabuto and Wizard in that it has a purpose instead of being an incomplete form for the Rider. Ex-Aid uses it to help separate the Bugsters' viruses from humans they've bonded with.

    The Gamer Driver itself borrows some from the Fourze and Double Drivers. To go Lv2, Ex-Aid pulls back on a lever, exposing a readout of himself set in the middle of the Driver. And to activate his finishing move, he has to put one of the Gasshats into a side-slot named the Score Skill.

    Once the virus is out of a human host, it changes into a Bugster which makes it time for Lv2.

    To assist with his virus and Bugster exterminations, Ex-Aid has the use of his Gashacon weapon, the Gashacon Breaker. It changes from hammer to sword with a press of the A button while the B button unleashes a special attack. The Breaker also has a Gasshat slot for it's own finishing move.

    Of course, Ex-Aid has his Rider Kick to fall back upon when not using the Breaker's finisher. Appropriately, it's called the Critical Strike.

    Are we cycling back around to this era of toku?

    Edit: No idea why it kept making the picture tiny, here.

    Edit: No, fuck you picture, I'm making this reference!

    Where did you get this and please god tell me they do some of the monsters.

    I got it from here. Sadly, no monsters :(

    However I also just bought this for way cheaper and I'm super excited to get it:

    Finished Dairanger last night

    Dairanger is surprisingly good for such an old show. Definitely some questionable stuff, but I like all the rangers, there were a lot of plots weaving in and out (Daigo/Kujaku <3), and there were a bunch of twists at the end that recontextualized a lot of previous stuff, though I'm not sure how the final twist is at all possible

    Think I'm on to Drive next

    Ghost is going to 50 episodes, with 49 and 50 probably being used to introduce ExAid on TV (after his debut in the upcoming summer movie)

    looks like zyuohger is finally going to start ripping off the band-aid on talking about yamato's parents

    and ghost cemented that the sage is the worst character in all of fiction

    Eh, i think he's fine

    I don't know why they decided to hold off on confirming his deal, but we basically know it all at this point and it makes sense

    look all I'm saying is that when basically the whole cast started yelling at him I was right there with them

    I'm at least very glad that

    Ghost episode 42 spoilers
    Takeru doesn't try and chastise the others for being angry at the sage over their concern for him and how he's been manipulated as hell by the sage. It was a light, but still nice to see, lesson about how even emotions like rage are valid and warranted, and that they usually come from a place of sincerity a lot of the time.

    I also really like
    the reveal that he's been winging it since day 99

    The eccentric all powerful sage who then has to go "Oh shit, i have no idea what's going on anymore" is a neat little thing

    It also explains his anger at Takeru getting Ryu as the Boost Eyecon a little more. "Holy crap, why would you two do something like this?! I don't know how to fix this!"

    On the movie mini-sodes we've been seeing by the way...
    ...it's looks like that Takeru's body will most likely be part of Extremer. Which means taking him out will leave Takeru even more boned then before if they can't get the Ganmaizers out of the way and speak to the Great Eye before the second set of 99 days are up.

    I've been watching Drive

    Drive is pretty good!

    Is it weird that my favorite part is Tomari/Kiriko? Like I want them to make out and get married already. I'm not usually much of a shipper

    Watched the Drive/Gaim movie again, reminded me how much I love Gaim

    Hope Ex-Aid's multi-Rider dynamic is as interesting

    I think I lucked out and got a Legacy Collection 6.5" Green Ranger at Target. Didn't even know it was a thing, but the line is brand new I guess?

    I've had my eye on some SH Figuarts for a while to see of the price would drop, but this is a nice substitute.

    That's a difficult case to gauge on the explicit/implied scale

    I mean yeah, of course

    But i never underestimate how much some writers are unaware of what they imply

    Kanon/Alain is kinda cute but you know that they're never actually going to do anything with it

    I would die if Akari/Onari happened though

    In a good way. My life would be complete
