Hello worshipers. I am back with another dose of Tokumei Sentai Go Busters. This time, we are gonna look at some of the more ... interesting and mundane things about the Go Busters. So, if you haven't seen it yet, Spoilers are abound but really can't help that too much now. You have been warned.
One of the things about Super Sentai is that it loves having themes. Themes to suits. Themes to characters. It is very big on themes. This year, The Go Busters went very different for their military-like unit. Their suit are not made with spandex like they have been since the 80s. No. Their suits are actually made of leather. Yep. Colored Leather. It does and the design does help to give the military look. Plus, I assume the sunglasses mode on the helmet is a kind of homage to the Men in Black.
Another interesting thing about Go Busters is that they all have super powers ... for the most part. Well, the main 3 have super powers. And not only do they have super powers, but they have interesting . .. weaknesses. Each of their weaknesses bare a similarity to a problem you would have with a computer since .. .SPOILER ALERT ... SPOILER ALERT . ..
the Go Busters actually get their powers from a computer virus injected into their bodies so they could teleport back to Earth. 13 years ago.

She may be the youngest of the group but she is definitely the most agile. She can jump extremely high (beyond normal humans) and fairly durable. Yoko's unique weakness is that if she doesn't have enough calories ... she runs out of energy. She falls to the grow and can barely move. Basically, like a computer crashing.

Blue Buster - Ryuuji
Ryuuji's is the only weakness we did not see right away. We seen him get super strength and inflated muscles at will. Interestingly enough, Ryuuji can increase his strength and mass, pretty much having super strength for a period of time. The downside of his powers? He, like a computer, will over heat if he uses too much of his powers for too long. And when he over heats ... he actually goes from being a kind, responsible guy into a complete and utter asshole. He will fight anyone, anywhere, at any time if he is overheated ... till he falls unconscious. So yeah ... super strength means you are a douchebag!
Red Buster - Hiromu
This is what happens when he sees cock. |
See. He freezes for cock. |
Hey! Get your minds out of the gutter. I don't mean "that" cock. I mean this cock.
You guys are bad. *laughs* Interestingly enough, Hiromu's is the only weakness that Enter has not tried to exploit out of the first 3 Go Busters. As for Jin and J ...
Stag Buster - Beet J. Stag
Stag Buster only takes orders from himself ... supposedly |
Commonly known as J, he doesn't really have a weakness cause he's a buddyroid. I guess the closest thing to a weakness he has is that he constantly wants Enertron to fuel up. Since he battles as a Go Busters and is a Buddyroid as well, it makes sense he uses a lot of energy. Energy for that and . ..
Beet Buster - Jin
Jin Masato ... Super Genius! |
Funny how these rangers have civilian powers, similar to those rangers during the Disney era of Power Rangers; only done a bit better. I say that cause all of the Go Busters have clear weaknesses for their powers and none of the Power Rangers with civilian powers has any real weaknesses to them. And that is a bit more of a breakdown of the Gobusters for now. Next time, it's time for Mecha and more as we continue our look into Go Busters. Now dance I say, DANCE!!!
