This one supposed to be known as Fanfic (NOT) 2 Read. I don't like this thing, but I'll still review it anyway.
Super Sentai Vs Power Rangers is a fanfiction made by Sean Akizuki. Looking at how good this blog goes, one would have thought that this fic is going to be superb.
It's not.
This one sucks so bad. So bad that even Long would rather run into Doukokugan back.
This fic is known for how over biased the story goes. Sean favors more of his favorite characters than others and even bashing some characters. Read it on your own risk. Wear sunglasses in case of bleeding.
The story starts with Jetman recruiting some of the newer Super Sentai teams to build a team to fight the evil forces of United Alliance of Evil, consist of Radiguet (leader) and some other villains, mostly big bads of both Power Rangers and Super Sentai series. While that happen, Power Rangers (Saban's version only) eventually shown up and join forces with the Super Sentai. The bad guys travel across the time to create a paradox in order to eliminate Super Sentai once and for all while the good guys prevent those from happening. Owh, Gokaiger here isn't canon, so consider this story is AU.
Sounds really cool, isn't it? Except the part where Sean didn't use the characters available in the story. This thing gives out a lot of issues that I might could not mention all in this post.
In that abomination, we will mostly seen Takeru, Mako, Gai Yuuki, Hoji, Gokaigers, Satoru, Sakura, Cole, MMPR, Justin, PR Samurai, Kaoru, Spike and some others I could not traced. The funny thing is, it is already mentioned in the first chapter and forwards that there are a lot of Super Sentai in that secret base, yet Sean keeps on using some that he loves, leave the one he is neutral with doing nothing, and punish the one that he doesn't really likes.
Let's have a riddle for a while. What do you get when you cross Jetman with softer and lighter tone? A punch from a Jetman's fan.
Okay, so you are telling me that you are combining characters from darker series and lighter series into one fanfic? That's fine, but at least don't make the whole story softer then Goseiger.
I feel like reading Power Rangers adaptation here! The whole storyline is so not making any sense that even Bruce Kalish will laugh out loud and die on his bed for this!
First, we have a really bad characteristic change. Every single people there sounds so bad. They doesn't sound what they are supposed to sound like. Even Radiguet gets the same treatment. He suddenly looks stupid more than Oiles Gils. He is supposed to become a character everyone hate and suddenly he become an ass clown.
And why is he the leader of bad guys? Why not Long? He is the immortal dragon. And how did Radiguet knows how to seal Long back to Doukokugan? Did he learn Rin Jyuken? This doesn't make sense even one bit!
Okay, this one still have Gokaiger in it. It's non-canon style, fine. But where is Marvelous badassery! He is supposed to be one dude most girls would fell for, if he is not be careful. Him in this just being plain.
And since we have thousand of character here, we have to bear reading their full names over and over. I mean, is it really hard for everyone to memorized the characters that was taken from TV SHOWS!?
And we have weird crack pairings. Kiros and Mako? Okay, that's fine. Yosuke and Tori? Hmm...that's interesting. Hurricanger and Ninja Storm... Billy and Ranru? Uh-huh...*stare* Spike and Kaoru? Wait, what? Radiguet and Kimberly? Cole and Sakura? WHAT. THE. HELL. IS THIS GUY THINKING!? Are you making an interracial porn here? Or is this just another stupid wet dream and you had to share that with us?
And some good characters are mentioned with out them doing anything good! What's with that? What were they doing this whole time? Did they say anything about going to join in the fight?
And I am sick on looking at how (you know what. He disgraced the name Sean, so I just called him Zukini) Zukini loves Cole so much that he had AkaRed infuse body with him and giving him his own Super Sentai form called Red Conquerer, which is basically Gao Red/Red Wild Force with AkaRed's helmet. Can't you at least make it original?
Why and how AkaRed infused his body with Cole? Just because AkaRed made of hope of past Super Sentai, doesn't mean he doesn't have a solid body to fight by his own. Why Cole? Why you paired him with Sakura? And why Sakura?
We also had to see the same character over and over that it feels like any other people there are just demoted to kurokos.
And he keep on bashing anyone he dislike over and over and thinking about how funny that event is. Which is not. Is Zukini is a bully in his school that he enjoys looking at other people misery? Is that why he made that detention center scene, which is unnecessary and stupid at the same time?
Detention center is a place where Zukini use this punish anyone he dislike by putting stones on their back (or that's what I read). What is this, a military? Did you expect all other rangers are as tough as when they are not transformed?
The fight scene isn't good either. One thing we knew there will be a huge great fight and 2 seconds later we found out the good guy wins. He doesn't even describe how the fight goes. Did you know how long we authors had to take just to make a good fight scene? Don't ignore it like it is not important!
And don't get me started on the Ranger Keys segment that is recently aired. If you guys didn't know how Ranger Keys actually work, it can only be used by being held by their original users and through Mobirate and Gokai Cellular, except Gokaigers' Ranger Keys since they are powers in the form key anyways.
By the word of Zukini, you only need to hold the key tight and shout the magic words (the words those Sentai used to transform) to become the specific rangers. That doesn't make sense, even if the whole story is AU. What if I hold Go-On Gold and Go-On Silver keys, can I become Go-On Wings? Or Gokai Red and Gokai Green, can I become Battle Italia-I mean, Gokai Christmas? Or if I were showered in all keys, can become an abomination of Super Sentai by shouting those words one by one? Can I call that Chimera Ranger (which I'm going to use in one of my fics)?
The whole story is suck so bad! Even the crossover with other past Sentais' interactions is bad! The whole time traveling is like as follows: Hey, It's that guy! Let's fight together! Don't worry, I'll handle this. Done, bye-bye!
You know, it's suck so bad that I wish Zukini turns into the real Zuccini so Radiguet can eat him...
There's a lot of thing I would like to say, but I get information explosion when I am writing this post. It's just too many that many people had complained over and over. And yet he doesn't even listen to us.
I give this sh- pickle 0.1 stars out of 5. No pictures and links given through the post because it doesn't deserve this. Just google it yourself if you want to read this so bad...
Where in the world did the name 'Zukini' come from? Came up with it yourself?
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what I don't think it's just Marvelous who's having 'flattened character' problem. Most of the characters seems really flat or reduced into one-dimensional stuff that is contagious to anyone nearby (I'm looking at Spike and Kaoru over here...), if you notice. And also featuring an anviliciouos way to 'make it clear': Yes we know you think Mako is funnier when she's a bad cook, stop mentioning that every second. Even GAI (Yuuki, btw) also got hit with the flattening. And he always claimed he liked Gai. Not sure, but I don't think he's one to take military leadership, he'd want to be a free wind most of the time.
So in which fic Chimera Ranger will appear? May want to try reading it...
The thing is, he said he's going to make things darker and edgier but with his definition of 'dark and edgy' I'm not even sure we'll get what we expect.
The one thing that caused him to make Gokaiger AU, I think is because if that happens, he'll have to concede that Gai is dead, and that just won't do for him, right?? Oh and not to mention... well... Mika from Bioman. Yeah she's dead, but she seemed to have better rep than even Shirou (Red One).
Also the tactics thus far for the Sentai world was like "Do what the other villains do there, terrorize the innocents in which the Sentai will surely stop them!". I'm not one to brag at my idea but why not make a plot to directly aim for the rangers themselves (because that is what I mostly do)? I think it'd be a breath of fresh air.
Also he seemed to sometimes take notes from my chapters for some story idea, just that most of them watered down. I'm pretty cool with that, but... personally what do you think? Could be a blog post. Thus far he's got two chapters which draw inspiration from my chapters.
This is a super lengthy review and somehow it gives a good insight on what Sean/Zukini should AVOID like plague. And of course, no pictures because not only it 'doesn't deserve a pic'... the artist himself/herself would have a headache if they are told to depict a picture of this or make a manip for this...
"Zuki" came from his full name, Sean Akizuki. 'ni' is just an addition as it is pun intended.
ReplyDeleteI might not know much about Jetman or Yuuki (Gai) but you are right about that one. Even if he is one badass uncle and from your story, deserve the title 'leader', but he himself would say no to that. He is a free-minded person somehow. Heck, he is so free-minded that even if he is already dead he can still flirt with God. Wonder if people still favor Gai/Ako more than Gai/God ;p
Chimera Ranger will be in Gokaiger Vs Affliate Zero. Some of them are OC in that story. I am still drawing the OC heroes' appearances. You can ask for that if you want to get clearer picture of those heroes. I can also give pictures of what those OC might look like irl.
I'm also don't mind with him making other stories as references, but don't do make it worse than the original. And I still see no point of having Chiharu there. I mean, what is her role there? Hoji's love interest which can also mean distraction? This is Super Sentai, make her fight! Or do something useful more than planting flowers!
You... YOU DRAW!? Can I see samples of your work??
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I had the same problem with Chiharu, I kinda see her as unnecessary and thinks it's just so that 'Hoji got a girlfriend, but I don't want it to be Jasmine, because I want Jasmine with Tetsu'. Pairing seems like some form of serious business to him I think. But yeah, I wish she actually FIGHTS... or at least get USED by the villain for their plots or whatever.
Her story also pretty much goes nowhere. All we know is that "She's Aya's long lost daughter, looks like Teresa and... that's it!" That looks really bare bone and undeveloped. I thought that one chapter which is inspired by my 2nd team's 8th chapter would be one to develop her, but not much has developed...
Maybe in the 1-week break I may come up with a dramatic reading.
I usually do the drawing with MS Paint, so it is really suck. Heck, I can't even draw well by hands. I just draw so that people can saw mine and make a better version of it, which never happens yet. If you don't mind the bad drawings you can just search in deviantart with either 'shraffe' or 'syer'. I can't really remember which one, getting the name messed up already...
ReplyDeletewhen you are going to do dramatic reading, read it in a really dramatic style. Also, why don't you read the review given for each chapters for more dramatic?
Most chapters aren't really reviewed, my first review are after all to represent a bulk of an early chapters... So I'll have to come up with review per chapter.
ReplyDeleteNo promises, though.
