Airdate: 02/15/09
|
|
|
| A boy plays with a ball and it
falls in a gap, a entrance and exit for the
Gedoshu, who ambush him. Shi Origami comes and
bashes them down. A man in gold takes the boy to
safety. Smoke bombs are thrown in front of the
grunts and the man in red |
|
becomes Shinken Red. Hikoma
Kusakabe announces he will defeat him. Red tells
his Jii he is talking too much and fights the
grunts as the opening theme song plays. Red
de-transforms and Jii congrats him as he drinks
his tea from the Kuroko. |
|
|
|
| Jii tells him to gather the team,
four who have be raised to be his protectors. He
is not for it. He goes off to go home. They are
being spied on by an old Gedoshu. He is happy his
leader has awoken. A huge ship rises from the
ocean. Dayu strums her shamisen. |
|
Doukoku enters the room, in a bad
mood and is given sake by his minions. His wounds
have healed from the Shiba clan. He becomes angry
when he finds out the Shinkenger are still alive.
The monster of the week comes in and is sent to
wreak havock. |
|
|
|
| Ryunousuke practices his kabuki,
his father tells him it will be his last because
the time is near and hands him is Origami. Saying
that their family has served the Shiba family for
years and that his comrades must feel like him.
Each of the others are |
|
shown in their daily rountine.
The Gedoshu attack the city. Takeru is with his
Origami, when Jii informs him of a stronger
Gedoshu has arrived and he will call the others.
He tries to stop him. The real reason Takeru is
apprehensive in calling the 4 is... |
|
|
|
| because he feels he
is luring people in battle to eventually die. Jii
asks if he forgot what his dead father said. In
flashback, the house burned down and his dad was
covered in arrows and was given his Origami, told
to protect the world and not |
|
run away. Ryunousuke performs the
play and Jii throws the arrows. One pierces
Chiaki's bun. One catches Mako's sight. Another
lands on the forehead of Kotoha with a sticky.
Jii opens a hatch to reveal four changers. |
|
|
|
| Ryunosuke runs through the
audience to his destiny. Mako is welcomed by a
carriage to take her. The other two run. Takeru
makes a horse with his Sudo Phone and banners are
put up as he leaves. Ryunosuke catches up to the
carriage and kneels in front of |
|
Mako. He says he didn't know the
emperor was a woman. She says she isn't him and
is scared of his makeup. Kotoha thinks it is
Ryunosuke, as he is taking off his makeup. Chiaki
arrives and Ryunosuke thinks it is him. Takeru
arrives. |
|
|
|
| Ryunosuke correctly identifies
him. He tells them if they choose to go, there is
no turning back. He says not to choose because of
loyalty but because of their preperation. They
all think. Ryunosuke is first to accept it. Mako
says she has been |
|
ready since she was a kid.
Yellows says she will do their best. Chiaki just
wants to hurry it up. They are given the Sudo
Phones. The Kuroko circle around them with the
banners to change their clothes. Drums are
banged. |
|
|
|
| The Kuroko move banners to reveal
the five in proper attire. They all draw the
Kanji of their element and transform, being
covered in the power of the written word. They do
their roll-call and then fight. The grunts are
too many and the 5 regroup. |
|
Blue wants to protect Red but he
says to protect himself and transforms his
Shinkenmaru into Daizanto and slices by a ton of
minions. The four transform their weapons into
their personal weapon and destroy the minions. |
|
|
|
| Green says he should have trained
more seriously as he is having trouble but not
until he uses his Wood Spear. Red fights against
the monster and beats him up, swinging unto a
car. He then swings the car towards him and Red
slices it in half. |
|
He then pushes the foe back unto
a collum and destroys him. His sword returns to
normal. He tells them that the monsters have two
lives. The monster then rises as a giant just as
Red said. Blue shows them his Origami and keeps
giving the expostition. |
|
|
|
| Red interupts him and makes his
Origami big and enters it. The others do the
same. Shi attacks first. Saru attacks with its
fists and swings around. Kame attacks next in a
whirlwind and is bashed down. Kuma bashes on the
monster and is transformed |
|
back into Emblem Form and steps
on his foot and his second head's eyes pop out,
letting go of Kame. Ryu blows fire on him and Shi
finishes him off in a blaze of fire. Afterwards,
the gang is untransformed and happy. Chiaki
thinks it was easy. |
|
|
|
| Ryunosuke is in awe of his
emperor and knocked down by Hikoma. Jii smothers
Takeru, Takeru says he is going home. Jii tells
the four to follow them home. Ryunosuke and
Kotoha do this proudly. Chaki looks at Mako with
a unsure face, |
|
Mako like 'do you believe this?'
ignores it and has a 'I'm ignoring you, get over
it' face. Even though Ryunosuke and Kotoha are
closer, they are running toward Takeru and Chaki
and Mako are walking calmly even though they are
farther. |
Comments:
- Kuroko are the servants of the Shiba
clan, they are much like the real world
Kuroko, who are black clothed stagehands
in traditional Japanese theatre.
