"All I want is for you to become a mechanical man without peer!" How's that for drama? This volume of my latest obsession gets a higher rating than the rest, mainly because of an incredible three-part saga bursting with emotion (yes, that's a little sarcastic, but I loved every minute of it)! It seems some other scientist has a schematic for a conscience circuit, which of course is the one part that Jiro needs to be perfect and kick DARK's butt. Three destructoids show up in the first of the three parts, Violet Turbo (another female enemy), Red Devil Stinger, and the super-weird Green Sponge, who fights by rolling his own huge head at his victims. There's some drama with Violet Turbo, whom Jiro actually repairs because he believes she wants to become good, which makes for some great jealousy from Mitsuko (who's getting cuter all the time)! There are some crazy sets, too - one of the final battles actually takes place in an Old West ghost town. In the end, Kikaida doesn't get the circuit - the schematic is burned, and actually Jiro didn't want it anyway, because his imperfections make him closer to being human. I can't wait to watch Volume 7!Labels: dvds, kikaida, tokusatsu
