Ryuusouger Revealed!

What's up? It's that time of the year. Just now, we have gotten scans for the next Sentai series that will be preceding Lupinranger VS Patranger. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the 2019-20 Super Sentai Series, Kishiryu Sentai Ryuusouger!


Now I know what you are thinking? "Dinosaurs, again?!" Originally, when the trademark dropped, we thought we were going to get dragons and knights. Most fans were disappointed when it turned out it was another dinosaur Sentai team, but at least we're getting the knight aspect, which I do hope the series focus' on a lot more. Another reason why they are doing dinosaurs again is because the toy sales and ratings for Lupinranger VS Patranger aren't doing very well and they're last major success was Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, which gained huge popularity. 


Much like the aforementioned Sentai, the colors for our team are the exact same. There's RyuusouRed, RyuusouBlack, RyuusouBlue, RyuusouGreen, and RyuusouPink. The suits themselves are pretty cool, IMO. The zigzag may look silly, but I like how it divides the torso into two halves, with the left being the color and the right being silver, which is the color of knight armor. The helmets are the best part, with green being my favorite.

 

First, we have they're henshin device, the Ryuusou Changer. It mainly resembles Abaranger's Abare Brace, but from my point of view, it also looks like a knights' head. In order to activate, the team will use the powers of the RyuuSouls, which are a combination of the Ranger Keys and the Abaranger face plates. You can the figure into the dino face plate and insert it into the Ryuusou Changer. They're main sidearm is known as the RyuusouKen, which is a sword. They can open up it's mouth and insert a RyuuSoul for a special attack.



They're are also auxillary RyuuSouls, which our heroes will uses to access weapons that resemble the Armed On from Kyoryuger. Since the weapons don't correspond with their colors, I'm going to assume they can trade them. The RyuuSouls can also be stored in the Ryuusoul Buckle.


Next, is the mecha, which are called KishiRyu. Red's mech is a Tyrannosaurus Rex (I'm so shocked) named TyraMigo that has a humanoid form much like RyuuseiOh and Go-Buster Ace. It will be the main robot of the series named KishiRyuOh. It can also take on other forms, like placing it's head on it's arm and turning into a tank-like mech. Blue will have a Triceratops named Triken and Pink will have an Ankylosaurus named Ankyloze. They can combine with KishiRyuOh to form KishiRyuOh 3 Knights. They can also mix and match and have the armor switched around, where either blue or pink can take the lead.


Green will have a Sabertooth Tiger known as TigerLance and Black is named MilNeedle. It is not confirmed whether it is a stegosaurus or a miragaia. The two can form armor for KishiRyuOh as oppose to just forming new arms, forming the combinations known as KishiRyuOh Tiger Lance and KishiRyuOh MilNeedle.

That's it for now, folks. Looking forward to this series and Happy Holidays! Later.
