Airdate: 01/05/03
 |
|
 |
| Everyone in kimonos and yukatas,
are gathered at the kotatsu for New Year supper.
They are all surprised at the food Nanami has
prepared. Only Gozen is not eating, somehow
Shurikenger is. Yousuke steals food from Kouta's
plate. |
|
Nanami asks Gozen to eat. But
Gozen only stands, not looking at her, and
quietly exits the room. Nanami touches her
band-aid on her finger. Furabijouand Wendinu
search a dark room in the Centipede with their
flashlights. |
 |
|
 |
| They press a button to turn on
the lights to reveal three giant robots Sargain
left for them. Wendinu says their names, reading
them out ofa book. Satorakura comes in. Wendinu
changes the name Megatagane Mark IV to Megatagane
Sexy because she |
|
claims it has no style.
Satorakura throws a fit because he doesn't want
to be just there taking Sargain's place. He runs
away and Furabijo goes after him. Wendinu speaks
to Sargain upwards, that she will destroy the
Hurricanger for him. |
 |
|
 |
| Shurikenger and Oboro take off
because of the time, they have work to do.
Yousuke makes a lunge for the last shrimp only to
find Ikkou's gotten it without even appearing to
have rushed for it. Nanami is still hung up on
Gozen not touching her |
|
meal. Nanami grabs Isshu's good
he has on his chopsticks and eat it, she sees it
tastes good, so there was no reason she wouldn't
eat it. Gozen walks back into the room slowly. In
relief, Nanami brightens up, thinking she's come
back to eat. |
 |
|
 |
| She's come to alert
them about the Jakanja are attacking. They groan
in dismay. The boys run off and Yousuke calls
Nanami to go, she pulls herself together. Wendinu
is getting frustrated in Megatagane Sexy,
frustrated that the heroes are taking so long. |
|
They transform and call their
machines but Oboro doesn't respond. Gozen is
putting Mugensai back into his house. Gozen
launches the machines, which surprises the
others. The two robots are formed and fight
Wendinu's robot. |
 |
|
 |
| Suddenly the Dolphin arm lowers
heavily to Sempujin's side. Alarmed, Yousuke asks
"Nanami, what's the matter?" She is off
in her own little world, though. "Why
wouldn't Gozen-sama eat?" Wendinu takes her
chance and blasts them. |
|
Gozen calls an alert from base
and the frantic Nanami apologizes and pulls
herself together. Yellow calls for Gattling Leo
and his attack hits Gouraijin as she gets out of
the way. She laughs. She tackles Senpujin as the
Goraijer can't move their machines. |
 |
|
 |
| Gas blows in Isshu's face. Gozen
says, "Mazui koto ni natta!" (You're
blundering) Nanami hears this and misunderstands
it. "Mazui?!" (It tastes terrible) She
freaks out. Yousuke hurries it up and they
becomes Hurrier.They beat Wendinu's robot down. |
|
They are then
attacked and knocked down, the other two robos
arrive. On the Centipede, the arguing between the
three pilots can be heard in the background but
Sandaru tells Tao Zanto about Gozen without the
others. |
 |
|
 |
| Tao Zanto is pleased with the
knowledge. But they are also running out of time.
He approves Sandaru's expressed plan. Sandaru
takes alook over his shoulder at the robots. As
if these three imagine they could beat the good
ninjas. |
|
Senpujin Harrier avoids the
blasts from Furabijou's robot. Satorakura's flies
past them.The Sempujin lands hard on top of the
Goraijin, knocking their systems back into order.
Gozen comments and Nanami thinks she is talking
about food. |
 |
|
 |
| She tells Gozen to try the other
things. Gozen, innocently ignorant of what's
going on in her head tilts hers in puzzlement.
When Nanami clarifies, Gozen points out that this
isn't what she's talking about. She wants them
ready for Shurikenger. |
|
But while Nanami tries to talk to
her, both mecha get ready to fight again. Three
Tenkujin are in the sky, they are being piloted
by Shurikenger and Oboro's robots, and they
become robots. Gozen explains that they can make
combos with these. |
 |
|
 |
| Oboro had done the programming.
Oboro comes rushing into her office and
semi-politely shoves the chair Gozen is in to the
side so that she can direct the battle.
Tenkusempujin and Tenkugoraijin are
formed.Shurikenger speaks to Nanami, |
|
but she has left her cockpit. It
is a three on three robot battle. Nanami comes in
the base as Oboro is directing the battle, she
looks at Gozen's untouched food. She looks at
Gozen's unaware back and clenches her fists
miserably. |
 |
|
 |
| Mugensai notices her in surprise.
He only has a chance to open his mouth before she
sees him seeing her and runs back to the battle.
Very confused, he says her name in alarm. Oboro
and Gozen turn to Mugensai and ask what is wrong,
he says nothing. |
|
Mugensai looks at Gozen's place
at the table, and now he understands what's going
on. The bad robots goes down. The boys do their
finishers. Two robots go down. Satorakura and
Furabijou are ejected. The good robtos are in
trouble. |
 |
|
 |
| Electricity sizzles everywhere
from the copy Tenkujins. Oboro sheepishly
explains that they've overheated. In her Dolphin,
Nanami is depressed, but then shesees her friends
strugging. So she decides to go join the battle.
For Wendinu is managing |
|
quite well against Tenkujin. She
knocks him down and is about to take him out when
a very enraged Nanami arrrives, Dolphin
barrelling nose-first at Megatagane Sexy and
opens its jaws wide and chomps down on the enemy
mecha's waist. |
 |
|
 |
| Blue has climbed all the way up
to her cockpit window. "Hi!" she says
cheerfully when she's on level with Wendinu.
Wendinu is too stunned to do more than stare at
her. You're kidding me," she says.Nanami
punches through the window. |
|
Wendinu isin the shower of glass.
Nanami has a black paint brush and uses the
moment to paint Wendinu's face. Wendinu pulls out
a mirror. She sees what's been done and protests
the humiliation. Her wriggle succeeds in getting
the Dolphin off. |
 |
|
 |
| Nanami bounces her dolphin,
laughing, and rejoins the others, telling them to
form Tenraisempujin. Nanami has the Ninjamisen
and calls in the Revolver Mammoth to help. And
Wendinu, in the meantime, has beenwiping the
marking |
|
from her face. She's gotten about
half off to she see what's coming at her. They
hit with Ultima Rainbow, and Wendinu escapes with
her life as her mecha blows to pieces. She
apoligzes to Sargain. Sandaru watches her
parachute open from the Centipede. |
 |
|
 |
| In the cockpit, Nanami leaves,her
bewildered mates chase after her. Oboro is
somewhat annoyed because her two robots have
returned, sporting bits and |
|
pieces popped out and jittering
still from feedback. She takes them with her to
repair. Gozen pushes Oboro's notebooks aside to
find a cookbook to New Year dishes. |
 |
|
 |
| Mugensaiexplains to her how long
and hard Nanami had worked to make this meal. How
she'd even accidently cut herself and refused to
eat until she was finished making the meal.
Gozenturns and looks consideringly at the food
remaining |
|
on the table. The six race back
in the city, Nanami explaining. Shurikenger
suddenly hops in front of her, holding out his
arms wide. "Don't worry," he says in
English, still laughing. "The truth is,
Gozen-sama doesn't eat.""Why?"
asks Yousuke. |
 |
|
 |
| "Well, she doesn't need
to," he explains. "The power of the
stone sustains her." Nanami can't help but
laugh slightly. "So that's it," she
says softly. The trio return to base, Kouta stops
themas he has spotted |
|
something. They all cautiously
peek around the corner. Gozen is in her place at
the table, using chopsticks to delicately pick
morsels to try. And Nanami smiles in delight. |
Comments:
- One of my favorite episodes.
- It is not shown how exactly Shurikenger
eats, but he indeed does.
