We open to ancient times. Dinosaurs still roam the earth in an impressive CGI sequence by Toei, which is something we rarely get (need I remind of you GokaiOh on the moon?). The narration mentions their extinction, and we cut to the modern day where the narrator mentions that the world as we know it is also under threat of extinction. To Antarctica! An iceberg cracks open and this spire with tentacles is released. It wedges itself into the seabed below. This appears to be the villain’s base…and the inside is designed to resemble a ribcage! (Upon first viewing, my brother nicknamed it ‘The Ribcage’…and apparently, that sounds like a hipster club. I concur!). Overall, The Ribcage is…special. I can’t take it seriously, but in a weird way, I love it – especially the faces on the pillars. It’s just ridiculous. Anyway, we meet our main villain and leader of the Deboss Army, Many-Faced High Priest Chaos – and after billions of years, they have finally revived. All over the world – in Europe, in the Arctic, in Japan, in America, and on an unnamed island – the Deboss foot-soldiers, the Zorima, have appeared!
On this unnamed island in the South Sea, someone combats these Zorima. This is Kiriyu Daigo, who is called ‘king’ by the islanders. The Zorima are no match for him, but he is soon helped by this winged creature – Torin. He’s basically the Sha Fu/Doggie Kruger of this season. So yeah. Torin gives Daigo a golden gun, which is obviously a huge advantage in battle. Torin snaps his fingers, and a volcano just erupts! Right there and then. Emerging from the fire is Gabutyra, a huge mechanical tyrannosaurus. Of course, when isn’t the red Zord a tyrannosaurus? I have to say, this whole volcano sequence is pretty impressive in terms of cinematography. Daigo holds a jewel around his neck and says ‘I met a dinosaur, Dad!’, before being blown away by Gabutyra’s breath. Torin reveals that Gabutyra and himself are searching for warriors to fight evil – otherwise known as the Kyoryugers. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
