![]() On its surface, it is something different but each episode minus the stuff with Wiger is still stuff from Gekiranger.ĭaishi needing to train unfortunately makes me think that Jarrod at least has some control over himself while being possessed. I can't even count the Phantom Beasts as a change added to fit the new context. Combining the two characters for Jungle Fury makes the training scenes irrelevant because there is no reason why he needs to train. Rio lost a lot in Gekiranger to but thats because he was still basically human and like the Gekirangers, he constantly trained to get better. It makes Daishi seem weak if someone that strong can lose so much. This could've easily been fixed by adding a line saying that Jarrod's body is too weak to withstand Daishi's full power, hence the need for the Overlords to train his new body. If that were the case, he wouldn't lose to Grizzaga at all. If Daishi is possessing Jarrod, he should be at full power. There is no reason given why Daishi has to train. Daishi is supposed to be a god-like being in Jungle Fury yet for some reason despite possessing Jarrod, he still needs to train. They combined both characters without changing the context of the surrounding arcs to fit the new context. Normally that might not be an issue, however it causes a major problem imo. Having Daishi possess Jarrod pretty much combines the characters Rio and Long from Gekiranger into one being. Daishi makes no sense as a villain and this is where I have to bring in the Gekiranger comparisons to make my point. My biggest issue is the way Jarrod and Daishi are handled. Like pretty much everything else in Jungle Fury aside from RJ, they left absolutely no impact on me. Its kind of waste in my opinion since they still had access to the actors. I'd have preferred it if the actual masters had become the Spirit Rangers instead of just being stand-ins for them. I like the designs of the Spirit Rangers but their introduction and the Phantom Beast stuff leaves something to be desired. I get that its supposed to give Casey some more character but its utterly irrelevant given how Jarrod was before being possessed. ![]() ![]() Jarrod's arrogance is the entire reason the show even happens and it his own fault that he got possessed. If Casey hadn't been the target of Jarrod's arrogance in the first episode, he would've simply targeted someone else. Jarrod was nothing more than an arrogant bully in the beginning. I'm one of the people who can't stand Casey feeling guilty about Jarrod getting possessed. The only time we get the feeling that they've gotten stronger is when a new power-up or weapon gets introduced. Now normally that would sort of be ok but the show itself doesn't really give off the impression that they're getting stronger. We actually see more scenes of them working in the pizza restaurant than we do actually training. Heck when I think of their base, the first thing that comes to my mind is the pizza restaurant, not their loft. Heck, RJ doesn't even use Gou's fighting style in the American footage.įor a series whose main motif is martial arts, we rarely get to see them training. It makes it really easy to pick out the American footage from the stock footage. It just lacks a certain oomph and it doesn't mesh well at all with the stock footage. I'm speaking of the American footage here. Lets start off with something simple: the action.
