![]() I used to poke fun at this episode, using it as a marker of how far Black got from its more serious early episodes, but I've come around to enjoying it more - it's entertaining.ģ2 - I honestly didn't even remember this episode. It's just all a bunch of cubes and squares, like Golgom sent 'em to Q*Bert. ![]() He wagered A LOT on two captives.Įpisode could have spent a little more on the "video game" set, though. There looked to be only two captives in the computer world, and Koutarou was risking his freedom to go in and save them when.what would he have done if he got stuck there? What would the world have done? We have only him to fight Golgom, man. This might sound horrible, but.I think Koutarou should have weighed the situation more. The other Shonen Senshi freak out at this idea, and Koutarou's on board immediately. There's also a bit when Koutarou is being told by the one tech-savvy Shonen Senshi that there's a chance that, if they go into the computer world, they might not return. ![]() How awesome would that have been? (The game snippet they show here has better graphics than the real game.) It would have been funnier if the show had used a snippet of the actual game of Kamen Rider Black they had for the Famicom disc system, though. There's a funny bit when a kid playing a video game gets a glimpse of a digitized, 8-bit looking Black fighting the episode's monster, Double Dragon style, when Black's in the computer world. (Feel how the audience has felt for 30 episodes of DX Terebi Power toys, Minami Koutarou!) There's some moments that I see as kind of meta moments, like the fact that the game/computer screen gives off an obnoxious strobe flash before it sucks someone into the game, Black understandably shielding his eyes like Mega Red's jamming his Drill Saber in 'em. That's right, Golgom wants to replenish their Shonen Golgom Tai stock by recruiting kids who show skill at the video game Athletic World (I have that game!) and kidnapping sucking them into the video game. In this episode, we learn that INET's Kubota must have been a Golgom member, because he TOTALLY rips off of Golgom's plan in this episode to recruit young soldiers through video games for his Megaranger project. I also recognize Satou as the kid who wanted Takeru to teach him the Godhand in that awesome episode of Maskman. (Where'd their custom grey jackets with Black's question mark squiggle go?) In a fact that only interests me, one of the new kids playing a Shonen Senshi is Yuuji Satou, who was the first Warajii in Changeman - he only played Warajii once, in his first appearance, episode 27. ![]() That kind of weakens the episode, but it's such a strange concept, and these kids are really dedicated to their roles, that I dig these stunted soldiers, so it's fun to see them back. 31 - Episode starts with some bad-ass motocross action, with a buncha explosions, fuck yeah! What danger is Koutarou getting into now? Ha, fooled you! The motorist takes off their helmet and it's a kid! This episode marks the return of the Shonen Golgom Tai from episode 24, but only two of the four actors from that episode returned.
