Did a small OC x Canon-ish thing for the copium. Me (the goat in the middle) and her Queen Bee and Robot Angel! I couldn’t be bothered drawing Aguilera, so I gave her as Hana a go. I think she went okay!
The sun is coming up in Kotaro’s right eye, and when Raptor sees him she actually screams. “What happened to you?”
“I got in a fight.” He doesn’t look unhappy about it. “Don’t worry, though, I won.”
“You got in a--with who? Where? Why?”
“Uh, some guys. You know, there’s those weird Jark Matter loyalists? They were saying the Kyuurangers were liars and trying to, like, get people worked up. It was at. Um.” Now he looks nervous. “A bar.”
She squawks. “Who took you to a bar?” And, eyes blazing, to the others spilling into the common area, “Who took Kotaro to a bar?”
Stinger, Hame, and Balance all immediately say, “Tsurugi.”
--who chooses this moment, of course, to walk in with several bags on his arm, say, “Hame, where did you want me to leave the--” and then freeze at the sight of Raptor bearing down on him like a warship. “Ah. Raptor. How may I--”
She’s venting steam. “You took Kotaro to a bar? And let him get in a fight?”
“I was interested in a news program being shown there, and he’s a responsible young man--”
“He’s ten!”
“I’m eleven now,” Kotaro says, indignant, and then winces as Spada paints disinfectant onto a cut on his eyebrow.
“Oh, because that’s better. You--you--Tsurugi, I am cancelling all of your future shore leave.” Raptor whirls around to face Kotaro again as Tsurugi sputters. “And you are grounded!”
“You don’t actually have the authority to cancel shore leave, Raptor,” Shou says genially as he wanders into the common area and starts poking through various shopping bags. “Given that we don’t really have formal shore leave, everyone just gets off the ship whenever and doesn’t tell me where they’re going. What’s the matter, anyway--wow, that’s a black eye.”
“Kotaro got in a bar fight.” Champ sounds amused. “It looks like he did impressively!”
“I’m impressed with the bruising, that’s for sure. What was Kotaro doing in a bar? Hey, don’t slap me.”
“Leave those alone, they’re going to be part of dessert,” Spada says, not even looking as he bats Shou’s hand away from the groceries again. “He was with Tsurugi. Hold still, Kotaro, I need to get a bandage on this.”
“So why was Tsurugi taking Kotaro to get into bar fights? I hope you won,” aside, to Kotaro, who grins at him.
Raptor says, furious, “Commander!”
“Tsurugi wanted to watch the news. Some of the bar patrons were Jark Matter loyalists making unflattering comments about the Kyuurangers.” Naaga’s busy helping Balance unpack a selection of small machine components onto one of the tables, for some purpose known only to the two of them. “Kotaro was offended by their remarks and punched one of them.”
Shou’s eyes go wide. “Ohh. I hope you beat them like an antique carpet, then. Ah--that is, don’t get in fights.”
Kotaro’s grin gets wider as Raptor, voice rising impressively in pitch, repeats, “Commander--wait. Wait. Naaga? You were there and you didn’t stop him?”
All of Naaga’s practice with expressiveness comes visibly into play as he freezes, face taking on an expression of almost comical alarm. It’s such an impressive display that nearly everyone misses him hiding one of his shopping bags under the table. “I was. Otherwise occupied.”
“With what--and, and where are Lucky and Garu?”
The answer, from several corners of the room and in varying tones of amusement, is, “They got arrested,” followed by Stinger, more usefully, adding, “Lucky said that he started the fight while Hame was getting Kotaro away, and when one of the cops didn’t believe him, Garu punched them. They’re waiting on a transmission from Kaien now saying that Lucky’s the king so that he can invoke some kind of immunity thing.”
Raptor’s chassis is making worrying little ping noises, so it’s probably fortunate that at this point there’s the loud chime of an incoming transmission and one of the comm screens lights up with Lucky’s grinning face. “Hey, everyone, we’re on our way back! But also I have to have dinner with the prime minister later and somebody’s gonna need to be my date.”
Garu’s face pops up over Lucky’s shoulder. “How’s Kotaro’s eye garu?”
Raptor makes an indignant noise, so Spada answers instead. “He’s doing fine.”
Kotaro waves at the comm screen. “It doesn’t even hurt anymore.”
“That’s great garu! You look like a tough guy!”
“I. I don’t.” Raptor leans into Hame’s arm around her shoulders with a frustrated whistle. “It’s not like I object to punching Jark Matter loyalists, but getting into bar fights?”
Hame grins at her. “To be fair, I did tell Tsurugi he shouldn’t take Kotaro in there, but it’s not like he really listens to me when he’s got an idea in his head.”
“And--wait, what was Naaga doing at the bar if he wasn’t with them?”
“Meeting some guy, you’ll have to ask him about it.”
“Hey, Raptor!” Lucky’s waving frantically at the comm screen. “Wanna be my date to the prime minister’s place tonight?”
Raptor groans. “I hate all of you--wait, did Lucky just ask me on a date?”
I got bored, so this is my list about my fav/worst (or maybe just least favorite) and most underrated SS characters, divided into colors (every color i can think of lol)
1. Red
- Favorite: Asaka Keiichirou/Patren Ichigou
Takeru used to be my number one Red Sentai ranger. But after watching every episode, including movies or sequels, I actually fell in love with this guy. His character changed my opinion several times. At first, I hated him, and I kinda think that he will be my first Red Sentai ranger that I wanna bash lol. And of course, I was wrong. Keiichirou deserves all my love ❤️❤️❤️
- Least favorite: Akashi Satoru/Bouken Red
Don't get me wrong, I've never hated him or disliked him. I do like him but he's a little overrated to me. In fact, Boukenger is my first season that I prefer other colors than Red or 6th. I mean, people love him and they praise a lot about him. But to me, he doesn't that special. I still like him, but not that much.
- Most underrated: Sakurada Hiromu/Red Buster
People will talk about how cool Marvelous is, how cool is Takeru,... But not many people noticed Hiromu much. I love his character development and how determinate he was. But he didn't get much attention, maybe because of how Gokaiger outshined lots of Sentai series afterward?
2. Blue
- Most favorite: Sela/Zyuoh Shark
I prefer heroines more so Sela deserves this (to me lol). Sela is a generous girl, and kinda naive inside. I've always loved this type of a character. But honestly, most of the Blue Sentai rangers don't leave too much impressions to me, even for Sela.
- Least favorite: No one
- Most underrated: Yoimachi Tooma/Lupin Blue
I love LuPat and all of the characters in general. But honestly, Tooma didn't get much attention because there are too many episodes about WRed and the other Patrangers. But he was kinda luckier than Umika because he had more episodes that he outshined than she.
3. Green/Black
- Most favorite: Jou Hanto/Go-On Green
How cute he is? According to me, Green Sentai rangers have a same trait: they are not the best in their team, but they have one talent that better than the others. Hanto didn't have that. But I love his childish and light-hearted trait. He would always helped people, even if he had to wearing girls's outfit.
- Least favorite: Hikawa Sakuya/Patren Nigou
Same as Satoru, I like Sakuya but not that much. I don't really know if I had any problems about him. I just don't really into him. Maybe he was just too naive.
- Most underrated: Tusk/Zyuoh Elephant
He deserves more attentions. No more, no less.
4. Yellow
- Most favorite: Rouyama Saki/Go-On Yellow
Omfg I love her x3. I used to be obsess with Saki for a long time. And until now, no one can get her 1st character in my fking heart. I mean, how can I just ignore her and her blooming smile? And you have no idea how happy I was when she got a lot of attenttion in 10 years grandprix.
- Least favorite: honestly no one, Yellow heroines are my favs 💛💛💛
-Most underrated: Mamiya Natsuki/Bouken Yellow
So... she just need to be known that she was the last Lemurian? I mean seriously?
5. Pink/White (i can't post any photo since I can only use 10 photos, sorry)
- Most favorite: Myoujin Tsukasa/Patren Sangou
She's the queen and the little cupcake at the same time. And I don't know how long since I have loved a Pink heroine? And her trait was quite like Sela, Tsukasa believed in people easily. But like I said, I love that type.
- Worst: Nishihori Sakura/Bouken Pink
Yeah, I hate her. I mean, she got many episodes to develop. But how much did she grow up? Nothing. And I can't stand how she just followed Satoru into space? More like stalking to me. Sakura was also too skeptical. All in one, Sakura was way too overrated. She literally the worst character.
- Most underrated: Raptor-283/Washi Pink
Let me ask: Is Raptor an extra-senshi or just a fking mentor?
6. Gold/Silver (6th in general)
- Most favorite: Takao Noel/Lupin X/Patren X
Badass. Just that. He was both cute and badass in the same time.
- Least favorite: Ikari Gai/Gokai Silver
Idk why but I don't like him, a lot lmao.
- Most underrated: Mondou Misao/Zyuoh The World
Idk about the international fandom, but in my place, people hate him a lot because he was too insecure. But i found it cute. He was just a little baby needed protection.
With orange, violet, rare colors... I will not mention, because I only love them lol.
