| Kikaida Vol 5 : 3 of 5 | |

 I guess I've reached the half-way point of this fun saga, and I'm still enjoying all the robot on robot action! This volume has some particularly good DARK Destructoids, with cool names like White Saw Shark and Purple Rat. Well, Purple Rat might not be a very good name, but he definitely has more powers than the average destructoid, including a whip arm, poison gas, and "photo bombs", which are like huge flash bulbs that pop out of his shoulders! That episode is a good story, because Kikaida risks his life to save Mitsuko by removing his thermal fuel cell. So touching! Speaking of Mitsuko, it's becoming more obvious that she loves Jiro, especially when she's playing with a friend's wedding dress. There's another girl villain this time - Pink Armadillo has a sexy human form so she can plant a kiss on their forehead, then she turns them into her slaves. Hanpei's outfits get pretty silly in this one, and he's always dressed in costume for no reason (in one episode, he's in a full horse jockey outfit, but why?). This DVD has some more interview footage, plus a Behind the Scenes Factoids feature, that reveals things like when they reused certain sets. I'm ready for my next Kikaida dose!
