I didn't have internet for the last few weeks so I haven't watched Goukaiger till today. I like it so far but I have a problem with Don, what is up with him whenever he says his "Gokai green"? Are they trying to make him gay(of course, it is Japan)?

That sounds like a kind of homophobic comment.... Gokaiger episode 3 established that Don is basically a character whose arc is focused around confidence, and developing his ability to stop being scared of making impulsive decisions. (Which is why Kai put him and Marvelous through a challenge together. Both to show Don that being impulsive and acting without planning isn't going to kill him, and to convey the information he had about the Gokaigers potential powers.)

Also Don is a part of the comic relief side of Gokaiger - he's this season's Ryunnosuke or Gunpei - someone with amusing habits to balance out the more stoic character (Joe) the sassy tomboy (Luka) the refined arsekicker (Ahim) and the confident leader with a slightly tsundere side (Marvelous.)

You could read quite a lot into the fanservice moments between Don and Marvelous, but Don also clings to Luka regularly. To say you have a problem with the idea of having a character whose sexuality is even slightly questionable (or whose behavior errs on the side of less than gung ho.) seems a bit un-necessary to me.

P.S. I don't normally discuss sentai like this, but I'm pretty pro-Don because it's interesting to have a character who isn't leaping into things straight off the bat, and shows his fears/weaknesses, but manages to gradually overcome them. It reminds me of Ryotaro from Den-O.

I am saddened by one week of super hero time is pushed back due to the earthquake.

I'm not - how anyone could care about fandom events/tv being delayed or canceled when people have lost their friends, families and homes in this disaster is beyond me. I'm currently trying to find a way to donate offline (I can't donate online due to not having paypal or a way to use my Korean bankcard to do so.)

On an unrelated note I saw Goseiger Versus Shinkenger last night (raw.) It was really fun, and an enjoyable way to see the Shinkengers off (even though I will miss them.) Hiroki Aiba (Ryunnosuke) seemed to be really chewing on the scenery all the way though. The Gokaiger's cameo was also pleasantly comedic. I love it when they swap the genders of certain characters during henshined sequences. There's something wonderfully fanservicey about a girl!Geki-red or a rather dainty Deka!red (admittedly played by Don.)

Ah, I feel like I have to clarified my post more since you always misunderstood me because I'm too lazy to type out more words.

My main purpose of last post is just to say that one week of super hero time have been pushed back so it delayed one week further till we get the 1000th Kamen RIder episode(which I didn't mention, damn my laziness!). Also to care about the Japanese in the Earthquake/Tsunami is important but that doesn't mean that I can't feel sad about my entertainment(it's not like I demand for it to make its' schedule) is being delayed nor does it mean that I don't care(or feel sad about) what happened to the people in the incidents. I have Japanese friends that I occasionally plays Mahjong and Go with so I was very worried about them when the disasters happened, it seems like 1 out of 9 of them is affected since he's the only one that hasn't came online since then and I'm still very worried right now.

Can you understand a bit of Japanese? I used to watch raw of anime a lot but I only understand a bit of Japanese so I always misunderstood the plot so I never watched raw since then. Maybe I should start watching Raw version of super sentai since kids show shouldn't be that hard to understand, right?

Well, I haven't posted in this topic in a while because the lack of discussion got boring. However, things are developing in Super Sentai now and thought this was a cool enough vid to post. I mean, come on, it's EVERY SINGLE Sixth Ranger. How awesome is that?

I know nothing about Super Sentai other than watching the American Power Rangers as a kid. But it was a nostalgia trip seeing the Green Ranger in there. The action was pretty cool too. Too bad no flute playing though. ;(
