Buster Gear Series 03: Sougan Blade (2012)

Rest In Peace, Fujiwara Keiji-san.

Given how hard I was on the Ichigan Buster, you might imagine I dislike this even more. Not so! I adore the Sougan Blade. It combines with that firearm (and the Li-Oh Blaster) and has voice clips from the regular Buddyroids, sure, but what’s so special about it? It’s difficult to justify, but here’s two things: There’s something utilitarian and combat-knife-esque about it. It’s a very different sort of weapon compared to Sentai’s usual swords. In my twisted mind, it also strangely fits in a Go-Busters mecha display as something to represent Pink Buster. It’s not a mecha, but it’s comparable in size to the smaller ones and it’s the one piece of Buster Gear she used.

There’s a note about comparisons below the cut.

5 “Because I Said So”s out of 5

I could not determine if the audio was rerecorded for the Korean release. As this happened with the Korean Tensouder and W Driver, however, I would STRONGLY advise caution in purchasing Go-Busters items with voice-clip functionality from their Power Rangers Go-Bursters line.

I will not be following the Hasbro line for the sake of comparisons.
