Henshin Keitai Sushi Changer (2009)


Genta's changer is fantastic. I'm sure that's not Soma Keisuke I'm hearing, but I choose to believe it is. Deal. It's stylized after a piece of sushi being pressed onto a bed of rice, and that rice has a magnificent pearlescent blue sheen to it that can only be seen in-person. The included Sushi Disc folds up like Ika Origami's, to boot. For show appropriate reasons, it can call forth all of the (non-Forbidden) Origami individually, as well as those comprising DaiTenkuu and Ika DaiKai-Oh, in their respective groupings. Kuma is mapped to 3 instead of Kame, but that's because the Origamis' numbering matches the original Shinkengers' hierarchy (as also noted on the box for Shinken-Oh), to drive home the fact that things are different (for the better) in the current age. I.e, it's not an error, or a problem.

It's better than the Shodophone. I said it.

A word about comparisons can be found below the cut.

Bandai of America delivered a version of their Shodophone molded in a different color of plastic instead of a proper Sushi Changer. If you're a huge fan of Antonio, then I imagine you have to get it, but at the end of the day, it's a simple truth that there's only one Sushi Changer out there. Well, maybe three, but my point is that they're all Eastern and the same mold. The sounds may have been changed if a Korean release is kicking around, though.

BoA did release the Sushi Disc with their version of the Sakanamaru. It's called the Barracuda Blade. I owned it. It's worth buying for a shelf, even if the disc doesn't fold. The light up feature they added is actually really nice, too.
