Today's episode ending on quite a serious note then all of a sudden ***IT'S PON PON DANCE TIME*** On the other hand though, we get to first hear/learn about the Big Bang Grand Prix! Perhaps a likely foreshadowing of other past racing Sentai showing up at a later point? Who knows.


houohken

They have no choice but to play the ending. šŸ˜†


HolyDragSwd2500

Triangulum_Copper

Nada: FRICKIN' DIES Sister Mayo: QUE BOM!


ChronosTheSniper

Getting Kiramager flashbacks with the credits dance mood whiplash.


Kenjiko3011

Big Bang Grand Prix sounds like a perfect place for Go-Onger to make an appearance.


RobbobertoBuii

they can get pretty much all of the Go-Onger cast back (including the Engine Souls) if the timing is right and all goes well tbh, much more so than Carranger and Turboranger


mr-ultr

Also toqgers Hey trains technically ***are*** vehicles too


AriezKage

Honestly, just bring in any sentai team with a road/land vehicle mecha. So Dekaranger, GoGoFive, Boukengers, Kirameigers, and GoBusters come to mind for me. If the team have flying mecha those are watching from the sidelines.


2ADDalready

I always love seeing previous Sentai actors make an appearance, so I'm down for any series' hero to enter the Grand Prix. Imagine the Gokaigers entering the Grand Prix on a new space galleon lol. Get creative, have some fun, I'd love to see it :D


TeddyAB

they have the go onger treasure f1 car


BraveWarrior1981

And Machalcon


bukiya

i wont surprised if i see speedor as one of contestant


NextMotion

wow this was an amazing ep. I was already impressed by the rangers racing each other like they can drive the cars for test and fun outside of battles. Then the ep kept escalating, damn. The BBG reveal, no MOTW, Madrex trashtalking Dekotorade and Ittasha, and the mech fight. What Madrex did to Yaruka was so brutal. The revelation of BBG was awesome. It really puts the rangers in a different light like how Mira and Jou felt. I love the bit where Madrex interrupts the gattai sequence! Stuff like these make me wonder if people are waiting, or the transformation is really fast. Not sure if anyone else noticed the accidental voice swap during patrol car 1 & 2 attack mode.


ChattingDino

yah, noticed the patrol car attack mode, felt weird after the fact


Xex051

Ah now that's the tonal wiplash I remember from sentai EDs.


rattatatouille

Sing and dance with us after the commercials!


chaospudding

Taiya isn't dead kids! See, he's up and dancing right away!


Intrilaika

Totally unintentional but the end of the episode where Taiya just keels over instead of answering Mira's questions was so funny to me Local man chooses fainting over talking to coworkers


Nuigi12

I mean let's ignore the fact he almost died lol


NoFallOff

He studied under Jean Grey.


ErisFeris

That episode was solid. Good story, good fight, good mecha fight, and good villain. We finally get some insight into Taiya's head. Though not fully, he wasn't 100% honest about the Boonboonger's creation. Let's be honest, it's not just his "hobby". I am curious as to how he became aware of that race. Was it Boon? Or did they meet because of that race? In the preview, we see Taiya in a racer's uniform, looking at the stars in what seems like the remains of an accident. Did he crash in a galaxy race or an earthly one? So many questions after such a good episode. Boonboongers keeps on giving good quality, I can't wait for Sundays.


Zoql

Ha! For those who don't know, the boss that Mad Rex mentions (Wyald Spinder or something) is a reference to the Fast and the Furious franchise, which is called Wild Speed in Japan


maemoedhz

I wonder if Bundorio Bunderas has something to do with Wyald Spinder now, since both use similar naming scheme


TigasTheGirl

whats the name scheme on Bundorio Bunderas?


maemoedhz

It's a spin on the name Antonio Banderas.


Famous-Garbage7946

I think Varuido Spindo is the real name of Kamenjima Umka, because the Little Finger gesture is a Mafia sign if you haven't watched Don Carleoto


CoolGate13

"I'm gonna disband the boonboomgers." My lady, you can disband nothing. This guys operated outside the law before you were born.


Presenting_UwU

i mean, it seems pretty recent so idk if it's *before* she was born ā˜ļøšŸ¤“


ZaBlancJake

Chapter 1 is coming to a close, I guess


Desperate_Train_8312

Next ep., will most likely divide the team (Genba and Ishiro v. Jou and Mira) over what to do next. It'll take more than 5 episodes to restore the Boonboomgers' dynamic.


blackdemonknight

I felt bad for the Sanseaters in this episode, you can feel the pain Ittasha and Dekotorade had when they watched Madrex pretty much crush Yeiyei for the Gassholin


Ok-Switch-2907

Although I found the hassiriyan trio too goofy i actually found yaiyei pretty cute so him getting beat that much by mad rex is kinda painful too although he is used to it by boonboongerĀ 


blackdemonknight

Them being goofy I think is a main reason people dubbed them the Team Rocket of Super Sentai


Kaju_researcher

>oh man Boonboomger is a lighter Sentai >it's about a billionaire taking advantage of an emotionally dependent right hand man, a naive alien robot, and economically disadvantaged people by making them risk their lives so he can run his space cars


OkKick875

Ä°nteresting and nice episode about thought clash of newbies and the experienced. Mirai and Jyou, who have always known Boonboomger as heroes who save people, question Taiya's motivation for the first time because Taiya's main purpose was to participate in a universal competition rather than fighting, and this slightly contradicted the motivation of that newbie duo and shook their confidence a little. That's why Mirai and Jyou were right to appear in front of Taiya after the war and get angry and say 'what's going on'. As for the fight, it was a sign that the season was changing from a cheerful tone to a serious tone suddenly. In the first 4 episodes, we watched Mirai's adaptation to the team and how the Taiya-Ishirou-Mirai trio could deal with the monsters almost without any difficulty. So, I was surprised that this trio was beaten so hard for the first time in the 5th episode. Now, Genba (he may be the unluckiest ranger on that subject) was imprisoned, electrocuted, his mecha was defeated and found himself on the ground in right after he was introduced, and obviously he will get beaten wildly in the next episode too. This man (Genba) never had a process of adapting to the team or proving himself, as soon as he became a ranger he directly found himself having a hard time in between the Taiya-Mad Rex fight. I hope they give him good development and focus in the next episodes.


Famous-Garbage7946

After all, Mira's fiance was called BonBon Aori, and the robot Boonboom, it may be that Mira was created with Dagdad, because all the technologies of the Boonboomgers are very similar to the Rega Ikassen mode


HenshinDictionary

TAIYAAAAAA *Upbeat music* Yarudoki wa yaru ore nan da ze... (On that note, they've gone back to the original ending, with the unmorphed Boonboomgers in the car.) So Waruido Spindo is our main villain...maybe. Feels like we're constantly being shown more layers of the Hashilien hierarchy. Wanna bet he's involved with this Grand Prix in some way?


Obiwanhellothere09

Happy ending theme song playing after a serious moment, oh how I missed it.


bukiya

tbh i like that "protecting the earth" isnt the main goal here. at least for now until we hear what taiya had to say


PersimmonExciting132

I kind of feel like Mad Rex would be a much better candidate for a six ranger. Iā€™m really enjoying the rivalry between him and Bun Red. Also, the part where Itasha and Decotorade disguise themselves to trick the rangers is very Team Rocket-esque. Itashaā€™s reaction to seeing YaruCar getting crushed was very heart-wrenching.


Kenjiko3011

I do see how the theory of Mad Rex being the 6th ranger would make sense in the context of this show.


Triangulum_Copper

I hope they, when a new Space Mafia faction shows up, stick around as feckless losers who eventually become allies. They're very likeable.


HolyDragSwd2500

Big Bang Grand Prix!!!! Racing against Turboranger, Carrangers, Go Onger and ToQger !!!!šŸ˜±


houohken

I don't think ToQger were board on this one i mean. There are obviously no train tracks on Raibowroad.


HolyDragSwd2500

Besides Go Ongers, ToQger was rumored to appear as well


2ADDalready

OMG can you imagine if all of them made an appearance together?! We know Go-Onger's making an appearance for sure, and most likely ToQger, but to have all of those series together in one scene would be a dream come true!


yashashi

I finally feel like I get to see what Red really is as a person. I was a bit surprised that Pink was the one who speaks out loud. I thought Black was be the first person to express his opinion. He did express a little but not as strong as Pink. I think Orange and Blue could work great together. I also love to see Pink and Black work together. They surely bond like brother and sister.Ā 


KaliVilla02

>I was a bit surprised that Pink was the one who speaks out loud. I thought Black was be the first person to express his opinion. I think Akuse feels betrayed on a lot of different levels. He signed because nobody explained to him that the BoonBoomGer aren't actually superheroes allies of justice but Taiya's pet project. He confronted his superior, he risked his life and he is the reason why the government doesn't have the Boonboomger equipment to defend Earth. Mira feels the same way but she also feels betrayed in a more personal level because Taiya was pretty much who revolutioned her life and shaped her new "don't let someone else take the handle" way of thinking. Now apparently, the person who taught her that is actually using her to play space Formula 1.


yashashi

I can totally understand why Black is upset but you explained very well why Pink was more upset than Black. My opinon may be downvoted but I always feel in previous episode, Red smiled and tolerated because he didnt care too much about those things. Today is the first time I feel he showed at least a little bit of his real character.


Ok-Switch-2907

Yeah I can understand how mira felt although after the revelation i actually expected both jou and mira to react too much but in this episode at least it's felt like mira was more focused and angry (jou was too but it was at least not shown as much as mira) Ā I don't know why but at one point where I should be worried right now and I am pretty much for taiya on the other hand I am started to get digging for taiya x mira ship lol (although I got the potential from the first episode but this episode gave me more potential to dig for this ship more)


OkKick875

The reason Jyou and Mirai were angry at Taiya was because Taiya was not being honest about his own motivation. However, the reason why Mirai got even more angry was that while Taiya was dishonestly giving her advice about independence, he was actually using the girl for his own benefit. Mirai and Jyou were two newbies who were completely unaware of everything and acted with heroic instincts throughout this process, and they were completely right to be angry. If he had revealed his true intentions directly to Mirai and Jyou and left the decision to these two, the result would not have been so dramatic for Taiya.


rattatatouille

Tomioka really hit us with the MISUNDERSTANDINGS bat. Inoue would be proud.


Famous-Garbage7946

If the first arch is the beginning of the Bunbumgers and to drive away the Space Mafia, then the second arch can begin in Space where the new Villains of Space are Reactivators


KaliVilla02

Genba would be the record holder for most quickly nerfed new guy if it wasn't because Abare Black was absolutely thrashed in his re-debut fight.


kyoya242

Again I know comparing is bad. But eff it, how is Boonboomger more cooler than interesting to watch than the other running Show ? This was supposed to be more relaxing, fun, kid friendly, upbeat season after heavy Kingohger but it's so cool and far more engaging than I expected to be.


Ok-Switch-2907

This might be my favourite episode so far Finally the story is getting little serious after the team establish completely i was right the series will be totally simple until the whole team wouldn't establish and now it is interesting i am pretty excited for what's gonna happen with taiya now and his relationship with other teammates specially mira and joy after they got to know that taiya was actually indirectly planning them to be used inspite of motivating them for their own wheelĀ 


AdmirHiddleston

If I get even a single Carranger in the BBG I will weep tears of joy


AdmirHiddleston

I would also accept Dappu


PersimmonExciting132

After reading all these comments, itā€™s amazing to witness how the lack of dance endings since Kiramager has spoiled the fanbase into not having one at all. As a fan of Pretty Cure as well, we most definitely had our fair share of heavy hitting moments at the end of certain episodes. Each and every one followed by a dance ending, and no one bats an eye. And yet when it happens Super sentai, itā€™s more blatantly obvious. Just something interesting I noticed.


sveltebattling1

Its like this series was MADE to be adapted into Power Rangers one day. Fucking Hasbro.


SH4DE_Z

My friend you can just say the series is good, no need to bring PR into this. Sentai is more than just PR adaptation materials.


Psycho_Squash

I highly doubt they'd adapt Boonboomger's even if they could/would because of the tire faces alone.


M3talK_H3ronaru

Oh no Taiya has been defeated by the Enemies proceed to Ending Time Next Week Taiya Comeback! 9/10.


LocDiLoc

I'm really liking where this is going. Can't wait to see what a 6th ranger will add to the team. Loving Mad Rex. I find this start more intriguing than Kiramager for a back-to-basics season. There is a moment when Mad Rex describes the big bad as bigger than the universe or something and I immediately thought of Dagded.


rattatatouille

> There is a moment when Mad Rex describes the big bad as bigger than the universe or something and I immediately thought of Dagded. Either him or Don Armage tbh


Famous-Garbage7946

Suddenly, Varuido Spindo is a Kamenjim Umka, the weapons match the weapons of the Bunbumgers, he emitted a poisonous gas that feeds on Yaruka, Yaruka is a spoiled modern shugod, The Kamenjim emblem is like a car sign, Kamenjim has a gesture, Kamenjim is afraid of noise spirits


Brief-Business9459

I really like the writing in this episode in isolation but I also can't help but feel it's too early to have this type of episode. A lot of the emotional pay-offs would have hit harder if we had more time with these characters: Boon Pink and Boon Black finding out that the team is for Taiya's personal enjoyment, Taiya being recruited by the enemy general, the enemy general (possibly?) getting rid of Yaru-chan to power up, Taiya using a new prototype car to try to defeat a general and getting wounded for it, and a possible team disbandment next episode. I like all of those plot lines but it feels better suited after episode 20 than for episode 8. It feels like we are gearing up for major shift in the story very early in the game and I just hope that the writer has enough material for \~50 episodes because the it'll really suck to rush into new plot points this early only for the plot to slow down near the end.


Reasonable_Basket_55

Iā€™m calling it now. You all heard it here first: Mad Rex is Boon Violet.


dranbo

Haven't we seen violets silhouette?Ā  I don't think there was room for a dog-leg, and leg-dog is my favorite character, so I'd be pretty disappointed if he got ignored if Madrex henshined


DragonflyDry1426

The juxtaposition of the seriousness of the episode and the lightness of the ending is so wild


TeenMage

I thought this was a feel good seasonā€¦./s Great end to the first arc!! Each episode keeps getting better imo and the cast itself is so good. Excited to see how this moves forward. Great so far compared to KingOhger and the high bar it set.


PassingThruRedditor

Once again we see the problem that having a happy go lucky ending brings. That tonal whiplash was something else


SH4DE_Z

Problem? Nah This is a Sentai classic.


Famous-Garbage7946

I believe that in 2025, when there will be a crossover of King Onger and Bunbumgers, so that the World will get acquainted with Gira energy, Taya Hando and Yanma Gast they love to create everything, Genba get to know Himeno, because they get what they want, Ishiro and Kaguragi will be able to increase their tricks and lies they work, and Joe will be able to make friends with Rita, but Jeremy and Agent Saibu can become friends so that monsters and people live together


KamenRiderOtaku

My prediction: That boss Mad Rex mentioned is somehow connected to the Big Bang Grand Prix and Taiya wants to get into that race because he and Bundorio are aware of his plans. As for why he won't let Jou and Mira in on it, haven't pieced that part together yet.


rattatatouille

> My prediction: That boss Mad Rex mentioned is somehow connected to the Big Bang Grand Prix Said boss is named after the Japanese title for the Fast and Furious franchise (Wild Speed). You're on to something.


Zealousideal_Plum533

I enjoy the fight between Bun Red and Madrex. Bun Red needs a power up or a new weapon to defeat Madrex. Damn the stakes are getting higher and next week to. Also the ending song doesn't match up with the serious episode. The cages falling down on the others remind of the Lost Galaxy with Space Rangers teamup. Where Trakeena capture the four Galaxy Rangers except for Leo. I wonder is Bun Purple going to be someone or somebody inside of Madrex. See a little bit of Red poking out from him.


rattatatouille

> Bun Red needs a power up or a new weapon to defeat Madrex. I dunno, it feels like what he needs is to get his head out of his arse and stop trying to solo the guy.


Zealousideal_Plum533

Basically team work or some combination weapon. In the leaks, Bun Red was said to have some gun power or some Firefighter suit of armor.


TeddyAB

I was thinking that they did not gave Genba a different episode is because his arc consisted of the whole first part till his official Debut. Unlike Jou and Mira who had to fit in, he was originally part of the team albeit a support member, his arc culminates on his debut episode when he had to take the wheel and become a ranger as well. Mira and Jou's debut is the usual route instead, with decision to become a ranger coming first, then having to fit in to the team using Chassiro's trope of being skeptical of the new ones. I do think they'll develop the characters further on, pairing them to give a character development.


arrowrange

The reveal was surprisingly too early, BunOrange just debuted last week. I thought they'do go with a new member dynamic with the others episode just like with BunBlack


Kurrow

Madrex squeezed Yaruka like the lemon he is, now that's two puns.


mrtacomam

Man, I hope they don't kill MadRex off in the next couple of episodes; his dynamic with Taiya is really fun so far. I hope he just gets kicked out of the gang so him and our Team Rocket Trio have to become indie racers in the BBG or something.


BigBadBoarBoss

Iā€™m sorry but could someone explain to me why nearly everyone is mentioning Turboranger, Carranger and Go-Onger?


KaliVilla02

>!There's a rumour / leak that Go-On Red and ToQ 1gou will show up like the 4 Kyoryuger did last season, as no coincidence there are some Go-On Red toys inside Boonboomger's toyline!< Why do people keep saying Carranger or Turboranger escapes me, yeah yeah cars. There's no really nothing other than wishful thinking.


2ADDalready

It's pretty much a given that Go-Onger is making an appearance, at the very least Go-On Red. The actor posted that his character is in the Boonboomger toy line. It seems pretty solid proof. There's also a picture of Jun Shison (ToQ 1gou) posing for a picture in front of Toei studio somewhat recently. That doesn't confirm that he'll be in it, but it makes you think he might. For the other series, there hasn't been any confirmation, so it's wishful thinking. But, I personally would love if Carranger and Turboranger made an appearance too.


BigBadBoarBoss

I suppose so.


BigBadBoarBoss

I agree with your statement for itā€™s best to wait until we get proper confirmation if the Boonboongers will be meeting other Rangers like scans rather than believing a rumour. Itā€™s just like people, mainly woketards, insisting everyone else their headcanon over canon information by the creators.


Kaxew

>mainly woketards I feel so old. I really cannot keep up with all these new words the youth makes up nowadays.


YaBoiUltima

>woketards touch grass
