What's your response to Maya Imamori leaving Gozyuger?

>>23610496
Can someone explain what the fuck even happened? I heard there was some drama, but I didn't bother looking into it. Now she's leaving the show? Jesus fucking Christ.

>>23610496
Happy. Now she finally can join the true No.1

I used to think it was Gozyover, but it was actually Imamoriover.

>>23610503
After getting her pussy plowed throughout the whole season a drop of alcohol entered her body, this triggered all of the alarms at Toei and her, the bar and the alcohol bottle have been apprehended and publicly executed.

>>23610503
Yes jesus was fucking christ all along

Somehow even Agito is speaking up about it
>If they're involved in any kind of production, it's the agency's responsibility to properly nurture their talent, especially if they're young. However, I strongly feel that recently there are many agencies that don't have this kind of relationship.
I don't know the details, but it's sad that talent agencies can easily terminate contracts.

>>23610505
please be SOD. anything other than S1 really. only good at recruiting good chick, but always wasted them with tame play

>>23610503
Imamori fucked, millions died.

>It's no big deal
>It's a nothingburger
>Spending days posting as "Imamori-non"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>23610513
The whole thing feels very weird to me.
>Affair rumors? Let's just silent.
>Underage drinking? How dare you.

I feel like in the next franchise they're gonna go back to casting martial artists and minor actors and stop trying to get young potential future star talent because Imamori caused them nothing but trouble.

>>23610503
Firstly a Japanese tabloid said that she was having an affair with Asai, the first GozyuWolf suit actor. Now she's confessed to underaged drinking and she's being removed from everything to do with Gozyuger now.

>>23610513
yeah i don't think this is going to go over well to anyone in the industry
toei has a history of abusing its toku actors, did we forget shinkenger?

Being part of the Sentai family must suck this year. Your franchise is axed, the last series barely celebrates the past, and the most people like to talk about is one of the cast member scandal instead of the franchise's grand anniversary

First and Last Black Woman.

>>23610503
GozyuRed's suit actor announced he was leaving the show and suit acting in general, said this was due to illness and he planned to quit after Gotchard but did Gozyuger as a favor to the producer.
Very shortly after a tabloid scandal broke out saying he and Maya were cheating on their partners with each other and this is the true reason he was leaving the show. This led to months of rage thrown at her. Her social media presence also dropped massively and she started getting removed from things unrelated to Gozyuger.
And now it just got announced she was fired from her agency due to underage drinking, which is likely a coverup for the cheating scandal. Her images are being removed from the show's website meaning they don't want her associated with the brand anymore.
Might be wrong on some minutiae there but that's the gist of it.

I guess that at least confirms those other rumors probably weren't real? It's not like it being reported she was sleeping around is good PR even if there's no actual photo. What a stupid thing to get fired over after all that though.

>>23610519
>How can we fire her without fucking over the retired guy with a gorillion years in the company
>Retard McUnicorn gets drunk one night
>???
>Profit

>>23610524
PITY PARTY TIME!

>>23610521
>minor actors
oh they'll cast minors alright

Will there still be an episode tomorrow?

The funny thing her character is supposed to be like 23 anyway. They could have just cast an actress a couple years older and saved all this trouble.

Honest to god question: What agency WOULD pick her up? And none of this JAV shit. Aguilera/Hana also got in hot water and was fired from her agency for all her things and she still bounced back and is now a popular actress cause of it.

>>23610532
Yes, Gozyuunicorn dies in magma

Twitter and Reddit are in cope mode

>Wahh she’s half-Filipino so this is a racist move!

japan twitter is PISSED, this was the most liked female member in YEARS

It's up to her now.

I feel I'd be more enraged/saddened about this if I actually cared about Gozyuger more then I do. If anything it'll be interesting to see how they're gonna remove her from the rest of the show or whatever they're thinking about doing.

>>23610503
Official version is that she got dropped by her agency and Toei because she got caught drinking while still being underage.

The Japanese are really harsh with their celebs but usually not to this level. Which is why some people believe in the theory that this is actually a cover up for an unconfirmed scandal surrounding the same actress that got leaked a few months ago, in which it's claimed that she got caught having an affair with Gozyu Wolf's suit actor, a married man that's twice her age. The source of the initial leak also leaked that Wolf's suit actor would retire because of this two weeks before the official announcement, which claims the actor had to retire due to illness, dropped.

The REAL Gozyu Unicorn
Fire Candle

>>23610538
it is.

>>23610541
I mean, just kill her in a battle. Make it hype.

>>23610538
Gaijins are funny

>>23610521
>I feel like in the next franchise they're gonna go back to casting martial artists and minor actors and stop trying to get young potential future star talent
Wonder how much this will affect Kamen Rider's production in the future as well.

>>23610544
Our top stuntman plapped that pussy like there was no tomorrow, how could we be racist?

>>23610534
No agency other than the JAV one. This is a bigger fuck up than Hana shit. Affair + Underage scandal, death sentence in the biz.

>>23610545
Pretty much how it happened with the first Yellow Four in Bioman.

>>23610513
In a way, he's right. Agencies have been much more lax with their talents and haven't supervised them as much outside of a few ones.

>Needing to be told not to fuck with married men and not to drink alcohol as a minor
Do you want them to wipe her ass too?

>>23610526
>GozyuRed's suit actor announced he was leaving the show and suit acting in general, said this was due to illness and he planned to quit after Gotchard but did Gozyuger as a favor to the producer.
Important to note that he said he hoped to make it all the way to the post-series Final Live Tour. But then he had to retire halfway through the show, and the initial affair leak revealed this early departure two weeks before the official announcement was made, the former claiming it was because of the affair's discovery and the latter claiming it was because his illness got worse.

>>23610558
i would

>>23610558
She's a flip. They'll fuck anything that moves and is older than them. Toei should've known better.

>>23610513
I doubt that she didn’t know it was a bad thing to do. At some point adults should be responsible for their own behavior.

May I become the new Gozyu Unicorn?

>>23610558
You never had your parent say it was ok to take a sip cause they were in the room with you huh?

>>23610549
>>23610521
There is literally nothing that would stop Toei from casting ~18 year old girls

>>23610564
Gozyu Christmas Cake

>>23610534
>What agency WOULD pick her up?
The same ones that picked Sasword's actor and Aya Hirano up. She will never break out though.

>>23610566
*16 year old

>>23610407
Honestly it's nothing more than what she deserves.

>>23610528

>Yes, it is the minor's fault
>Not the adult twice her age who cheated on his wife

>>23610534
Aguilera's actress had been in the industry prior to Revice (Yui Asakura was her second stage name) and didn't do anything illegal or wrong like Imamori, she was stalked by tabloids and was open about being harassed on set, which is why Toei still works with her. Also she left her agency for them being incompetent, she wasn't fired or let go.

>>23610538
We had no problems with Angela Mei's aristocratic elegance. The problem is that Imamori is clearly low caste trash.

>>23610566
They just need to find more hot 20 year olds like Yume

>>23610564
She's the most likely candidate.

Is this why Korea switched to CGI cartoons?

Looking at me, you'd be forgiven for thinking I'm not your typical victim.
I'm a former husband. I'm a father.
I'm a long time Sentai stuntman.
I'm 5'8"; 150 lbs. I thought I could look after myself in ANY situation. But in the summer of 2025,

I WAS RAPED.

That's right: #MeToo
My point is, my attackers didn't have to overpower me to turn me into a victim.
If it can happen to me, then it can happen to you.

Asai Kosuke
Actor. Father. Jobless.

>>23610573
She isn't a minor tho. It's just Japan has the weird don't drink till your 21 rule that America has I guess.

>>23610573
Legally, age of consent is lower than drinking age. She is 100% at fault.

>>23610573
She’s not a minor, but yes of course Asai is at fault too if the rumors are true.

>>23610580
His Instagram is surprisingly not locked and you still can comment there.

>>23610585
What are they going to do, end his career? lmao

>>23610579
Universe Heroes is gonna resort to femboy Pinks from now on.

>>23610580
>Gets domme'd by a cute halfu bad girl
Truly he is the victim in all of this.

This is the final Super Sentai, Gozyuger. Say anything about them.

>>23610580
He should have been TegaSword's suit actor instead.

>>23610581
Legal drinking and smoking age in Japan is 20 so she's underage according to it since she's 19

>>23610588
Very bold of them to go back to 5-man teams one last time.

>>23610505
>>23610515
>>23610553
Now she can co-star with her lookalike Ai Yuuki.

>>23610591
>SHE WAS 19 YEARS 364 DAYS AND 23 HOURS YOU SICK FUCK

>>23610588
Let’s see if an all Male Sentai can boost ratings.

>>23610588
Wholesome Zyuohger homage.

>>23610591
Age of consent in Tokyo is 18, Asai won't get arrested unless he also shared booze with her.

Surely they finished filming Gozyuger by now, so they shouldn't need to do any reshoots?

>>23610585
Well duh. He needs all the support he can get right now.

>>23610588
I don't like Akiko's writing but I feel bad for anyone being given a ticking time bomb as their first main screenwriting job.

>>23610599
They’ll cut her parts.

>>23610588
Ryuji is so hot I cum on every FRAME he's in

So are they gonna run in out and just say it was already filmed and there's nothing they can do or are they gonna drastically reshoot to remove her immediately

>>23610580
Seriously, what did she see in him?

>>23610492 (OP)
Pink Unicorn looks infinitely better than Black Unicorn. If anything Papillon should have been the first female Black, and Imamori should have directed the people to their seats in the theater. Seriously though, Hachi could have been orange.

>>23610492 (OP)
They call me the

>>23610606
He’s a dickmaster

>>23610603
They can't cut her out of the show entirely. It wouldn't make the full timeslot then.

>>23610585
What kind of comments has he been getting lately?

>>23610604
Calm down Bouquet.

>>23610605
>Spending MORE money to cut out Imamori
Just let it die Toei, please.

>>23610605
they'll reshoot if they haven't already.

>>23610606
Probably not her first pick, the rest of the cast might’ve said no due to their careers.

>>23610492 (OP)
God what awful timing, I've been away for some project, found out about the news because Imamori's IG notification.

So to my understanding, Imamori got caught underage drinking, and she's officially leaving Gozyuger, and her career is absolutely over?

>>23610491
Got to hell.

>>23610611
It’s gonna be a fucking crapshoot, bro.

>>23610616
Do you think she asked Joji before resorting to suit actors?

>>23610605
They announced she's out from the show, tabloids have been saying that they halted production in response to this and have been doing some reshoots iirc.

>>23610618
Have a lovely day!

>>23610619
Say hi to Satan for me.

>>23610604
You can't even type his name right.

>This was last episode's ending
What did they mean by this?

>>23610618
Yeah she's done unless she goes into porn. She supposedly got caught drinking underage but people suspect the real problem is having an affair with Kousuke Asai which destroyed his career and forced him to retire from suit acting and this is just an excuse to dump her

>>23610606
Yeah, that is a face that is meant to behind a helmet. He sure ain't no Junichi Haruta or Kenji Ohba.

>>23610628
bravo Nolan

>>23610626
I just call him daddy I don't need names.

>>23610612
Mostly just "you caused Sentai to end" etc etc

>>23610623
Yeah but the shows practically done, so unless they're gonna extensively reshoot to replace her they're kind of stuck.

>>23610618
>Imamori got caught underage drinking
It's the cover-up for her affair with Asai.
>and she's officially leaving Gozyuger, and her career is absolutely over?
She also got dropped by Seju and Toei cut ties with her, so yes.

>>23610624
I love Tim Curry, also thanks anon, the project was good.

>>23610629
Yeah, I feel like it's either a coverup to the affair, or that Asai invited her to drink and initiate sexo

>>23610631
He's also 41. He was a little more attractive when he was a few years younger

>>23610618
hey man, you better quickly archive her Twitter

>>23610491
>>23610496
Honestly, I hope she overcomes this and is able to get on in life, whether she continues acting or otherwise. But please, PLEASE don't do anything newsworthy. I just want to talk about toku again without it getting drowned out by gossip.

>>23610636
The tabloid have been saying that they halted production months ago, not right now, there were still some episodes left to shoot back then.

Shirakura is rethinking this whole “simulcast” thing as we speak

>Universe Heroes
So this basically means it's not mandatory to have teams. Imagine if they just made a "second rider" show and doubled their profits while also trying to save money.

>>23610646
That would suggest this drinking thing is just an excuse and they were already planning on dumping her months ago when the affair broke

>>23610641
Now you finally have the chance to go to Japan, rescue Imamori and use her dependency on you to manipulate her into a relationship, Imamori-non! But how will you feel about tasting Asai's cock every time you kiss her?

>>23610588
Shin Sentai next

>>23610647
>>23610648
This is what every Universe Heroes set is going to look like to keep actors separated as much as possible.

IIRC wasn’t Imamori a popular gravure model too? Like her casting into Gozyuger was a big deal? She was already did some j-dramas beforehand but this was supposed to be her big break.

>>23610648
It sounds like it's basically modern Rider again but with a different toy gimmick so it won't be henshin trinkets and million forms for the lead. But it does mean they can dump the 5 man team with coordinated designs that have to always be attached at the hip and be in every episode.

>>23610647
Universe Heroes is totally not Sentai™, so it won't be affected by the scandal he hopes.

>>23610657
Should do one of them fancy stunt fights on his hairdresser
Goddamn

>>23610653
Literally the winner of Miss Magazine 2023.
She did dramas and films before Gozyuger but mostly side characters or short appearances.

>>23610657
She's got a thing for athletic guys it seems.

>>23610651
What was Anno's favourite Sentai again? Gaoranger?

You really are all just a bunch of gossipy doomers at the end of the day. You just need a spark like this.

>>23610655
Yeah, but imagine if shit hits the fan and then you have reshoot 15 episodes and rewrite the whole plot.

>>23610644
Shiet I still got 4 hour drive rn.

>>23610650
Idk man I can still taste my partner's tongue and saliva in my mouth after last night

>>23610649
It's what everybody's been suspecting.

>>23610663
Maya lost, deal with it.

>>23610664
they knew this months ago so most of the reshooting and rewriting must be done by now.

>>23610662
I don't recall him ever citing a favorite, but Hurricaneger gets mentioned in his wife's manga. He's also said Carranger helped him get through an episode of depression, and has cited BFJ, Sun Vulcan, Denziman, and Dynaman as partial influences on his work.

>>23610599
Filming was suspended like a month or so ago for who knows how long and at that point it was said they were still filming episodes that air this year.

Sweet. Just like Runa Narumi.
When will they learn?

>>23610663
Welcome to social media, bitch. It’s either gossip, politics, or porn.

My only wish is for some of the cast to get a 2nd chance with Kamen Rider like Yuzuki is apparently getting

>>23610668
So they're just getting to the part where they wrote her out now and are pretending it's a recent reaction to the drinking thing? Wouldn't that be very obvious what they were doing to or are they just banking on Japanese politeness looking the other way to avoid an embarrassing situation.

>>23610665
>I can still taste my partner's tongue and saliva in my mouth after last night
I can't imagine he's happy with your Imamori fixation.

>>23610496
>caught underage drinking
>fucking terminate her contract
I get japs don't want to set a bad example for the kids, but jesus christ you'd think she did crack and fucked an entire baseball team or something.

>>23610676
God Adachi really had a point huh

>>23610677
Can I just have the porn please?

>>23610663
yeah weird how a new topic to discuss results in discussion

>>23610681
This lines up with Japan's usual punishments. If she did actual drugs they would retroactively delete her from archive footage.

>>23610654
I imagine they'd have 3 heroes in the first 10 episodes, spread apart, then introduce the next 2 in the next 10-15 eps. Maybe make one of them evil so we can have mecha vs mecha battles.

Good way to spread toys and save money on actor screentime, and to avoid trying to flesh everyone out at once.

>>23610662
It's not Gorenger, so Shin Sentai is not gonna happen, especially when he's already planned other Shin works including sequels to the ones he's already done.

>>23610681
>fucked an entire baseball team
Anon... about that...

>>23610683
>Casually cast another actor as Sumino and pass it off with "Hasn't the atmosphere changed a bit?"

Is that a reference to something? I know the others are Hana from Den-O and Yellow 4

>>23610683
> Blame it on world-altering effects, making Sumino younger and neatly tie up loose ends
Right, there is that Hana and Kohana switcheroo.

>>23610690
It also means they have guys like Abarekiller or Stacaesar and not be obligated to redeem them

One day somebody will leak the pre-Imamori Scandal Footage for Gozyuger, and we'll get to see the original plan before it went tits up

>>23610662
Hurricaneger and Dynaman

>>23610685
It's not even real discussion. It's people sperging about their headcanons of what they think went down.

>>23610690
So kind of vaguely like Liveman, at least as far as introducing the last 2 late into the show goes?

>>23610695
They never were.

>>23610693
Yellow 4 was killed in one episode and they introduced her replacement in the next episode.

>>23610693
White Racer I guess?

>>23610697
For some reason, I doubt it would be more coherent than what we’ll end up getting with the reshoots.

>>23610703
That I know but what show had an actor/actress just get recast with a few comments about looking different

>>23610700
The fact that something unquestionably went down versus it just being a rumor is actual news though, even if people are mainly making jokes.

>>23610707
https://youtu.be/AnVDixE0kNQ

What confuses me is why cheapass Toei is willing to do all the expensive busywork of unpersoning a main cast member, reshooting hours of new footage, and editing the show in the last minute when the easier thing to do was just ignoring this all until they finished the show?

>>23610679
Their strategy seems to be working since most people seem to be eating up the narrative that she got fired due to underage drinking, but the few people who have been following the affair scandal closely are wiser than that. Ultimately, the only people they need to convince are the everymen that would make a huge fuss (bigger than this current one) if the affair ever made it to the mainstream news.

>>23610710
They probably don't want negative press when they're gonna try to push a new IP next year

>>23610710
because the main cast member in question is meant to be a role model for children.

>>23610681
It's a cover up for her affair with Asai.

>slut but not a homewrecker
best girl

>>23610709
Didn’t even know there was another Aunt Viv.

>>23610715
She's hardly a slut when she only had eyes for one man.

Everywhere I go, women ruining what I love, why did I get out of bed?

>>23610709
>Imamori be like

>>23610628
TegaSword-sama works in mysterious ways.

My biggest hope is that they actually give her a proper sendoff in the show, maybe a death scene. The crew has a unique opportunity to make some once-in-a-lifetime cinema, they gotta capitalize on it. I fear they might chicken out and simply recast the character.

This is why all sentai should be all male.

Cuz they're smarter.

>>23610719
Woman killed Star Wars. Woman killed Doctor Who. Whatever idgaf, I will always have tokusatsu...
FUCK!

>>23610580
Nigga was practicing his stunts when Maya tricked him into falling dick-first into her pussy.

>>23610724
get ready for the 10 year old Kosumino

>>23610724
Probably what Toei pulled with the first Yellow 4.

Maya Imamori

Super Sentai really went out with a bang, huh.

>>23610738
> Drinking alcohol while underage is a very shameful act for both a member of society and a human being, and is unacceptable for any reason
idk, I got plenty of Jesus Juice in church as a kid and I ended up just fine.

>>23610738
>even the apology got deleted
It's so fucking over

>>23610738
This sounds really fucking rehearsed. I think the conspiracy anons are right and this was all planned out 2 months ago to try to spare Asai humiliation

I'm guessing Japanese tokutwitter is basically saying that she stained Sentai's legacy during its final sendoff season and she'll never be forgiven.

>>23610588
Would all male Sentai series draw more fujo audience?

>>23610746
Stained, yes
Never be forgiven, eh

>>23610745
This sort of thing usually isn't written by the actor/actress. It's done by someone at their agency and the person in question has to sign it.

>>23610738
>will sincerely reexamine my way of life so that this kind of thing never happens again.
Well yeah next year she can't be caught underage drinking ever again, duh.

>>23610738
yeah...a recast will not do.

>>23610747
All-male might be a to drawn in the kpop audience

>>23610747
Make one of them a trap.

>>23610747
all 5 would need to be much heavier on the idol side. 5 Rikuos.

Imamori thread on 2chan, grab your screencaps while you can
https://cgi.2chan.net/g/res/3035370.htm

>According to TV Station, the episode aired on the 16th of this month will be the main episode where Sumino retires as a detective, and in that episode Oto will be brought back, and Sumino will leave.
>By the way, the subtitle is "The Last Request!?" Her shining aura is high class.

>>23610747
They'd still need a female lead because that's how the shows work. Even if they just didn't transform like in most Rider. A show completely devoid of women is impossible. Agencies have actresses they want to push too.

>>23610760
Simple, just give every show beautiful evil women.

Wrapping up her character arc...

>just started watching Gozyuger
>thought she was kinda cute
>this happens
Well, fuck me I guess.

>>23610759
This is fine

>>23610759
So episode 38 is when she's going to be removed? Sure.

>>23610759
>Oto will be brought back, and Sumino will leave
It's unclear whether Oto is taking over though.

I like a female face villain as much as the next guy but don't overload it/make it passe.

>>23610711
I wonder if they're gonna claim "This was always her planned character arc. That we fired her two weeks before she left the show anyway is purely a coincidence"

>>23610761
I approve

Kinda interesting how stark the difference in how the JP audience and western fans react to the news

>>23610738

underage drinking in the country where you can buy a can of chuuhai in 7-11 for 2 dollars...

>>23610772
Why would it be passe when the actresses would change every year just like the heroines.

>>23610776
With how Japanese fans can be, I wouldn't be surprised if Imamori tried to commit suicide. I do hope she has good friends/family around.

>>23610783
Better hope Japanese fans don't find her family SNS account.

Are her past works (dramas, films, digital photobooks) gonna get removed after this?

>>23610785
>50th anniversary
>final season
Yeah those niggas will be even more brutal than usual.

>>23610783
Fuck, that would be one hell of a book end to the franchise.

>>23610783
>I do hope she has good friends/family around.
If she did, she wouldn't have done any of this shit in the first place.

>>23610767
Cool that Yuzuki got to flee to the alive franchise.

>>23610746
Can't really blame them this time. What a series of PR fuckups to end your 50-year franchise on

>>23610783
I saw a couple of jokes about unicorns only letting virgins ride them, which gave me a chuckle.

Seriously tho, she's like the first person to be fired mid series, no?

>>23610759
Is Sumino (the character) going to be turned into horse glue?

Was there ever been an actor/actress still continue to work in entertainment after underage drinking?

>>23610796
Zenkaiger wasn't even that long ago anon

Make her permanently trapped in the suit with a new VA.

>>23610800
Okay, first core cast to fired mid series. Happy?

>>23610763
She would.

>>23610802
Yellow4 didn't actually quit either, she just stopped showing up so they had to replace her.

>>23610806
Exactly. It's a miracle in all 50 years, it took the last series for someone to pull the biggest what if about the production

>>23610801
That new VA? Jeffrey Parazzo. It's great because he is also a Flip.

Asai's dick destroyed Maya's holes and her career.

Can they just give bouquet the gozyu unicorn ring?

>>23610814
They have to write out Sumino first. Bouquet getting the ring would be the best outcome.

>>23610814
They'd have to rewrite and shoot Bouquet scenes as well, like her sex scene with Rikuo

>>23610817
Well according to that 2chan thread she's being sent off in episode 38, so we'll see I guess.

>>23610759

Bouken Black's comment.

>>23610823
Yahoo JP is one of the main sites for all sorts of things over there.

but you see anons she was never the real gozyuunicorn, the real one was her sister all along it was totally planned and foreshadowed by the talented toei writers, it’s a reference to shinkenger

What would you do if you were Maya's father?

I'm suddenly reminded of that one Sentai themed manga where the Red is married but has an affair with the Pink because she won't be part of the team otherwise, or something dumb like that

No she's not. Yellow 4 in Bioman and Vul Eagle in Sun Vulcan. I guess you can jokingly count Akiba Red too, but that episode was directly making fun of Sun Vulcan's mid-series retool.

She already had sex, with Asai.

Now make the cast in Universe Warriors all male.

>>23610868
They're not making the new Sentai for incels, anon. Women are still going to exist.

>>23610492 (OP)
This is bullshit. They stood with her when Bunshin happened.

But this? She just had a little drink.

Maya did nothing wrong!

>>23610870
>incels
You can just say gays, you know.

>>23610659
>throws her ascending career into the trash for 40+old dick

What a fucking idiot

Why would a japanese girl even need to drink?

>>23610724
This is Gozyuger, you wouldn't get that even if it had been the plan all along.

>>23610870
>Women are still going to exist
>Now make the cast in Universe Warriors all male.
You do know BL is a thing, hence the vibe that kamen rider gives off for over a decade, right?

>>23610854
Ryugi is probably thinking "fucking finally"

Did they make Bouquet's sister so Bridan wouldn't lose a member as Bouquet moves to become unicorn?

>>23610883
>Fucking finally! Now when do we get to see Ohranger 30 Years After?

>>23610854
Probably something like WWWWW

>>23610876
How would they make pee if they don't drink?

>>23610887
Pocari Sweat, Ramune

Can't wait to go to japanese mcdonald's or equivalent and find Maya asking if she can take my order.

Make that other dude the new pink

>>23610854
I wouldn't be surprised if the younger ones hated her guts. Gozyuger was to be their first major exposure and Maya made it about the controversy. Fuyuno specially since he was dragged into it at first.

>>23610892
Honestly I think he gets a free pass because of all of this. Any criticism of the performance can be blamed on the scandal, and Hoeru's a fairly liked character from what I recall about the polls.

>Japan drinking age is 20

Sick country

>>23610879
kinda ironic that women don't want to see women in their media

So how many episodes until she gets written out? Maybe two? Doubt they'd let people see the character for so long after announcing the actress's fuckups.

>>23610895
Blame the American influence
>OH SAY CAN YOU SHART, AT THE LOCAL WAL-MART...

>>23610899
2chan thread talking about it says episode 38 is when she'll "finish her arc" and be written out.

>>23610897
It's funny that Rider went from le epic first female tertiary to a sausage fest with the most archetypal pretty boy ever. Then of course Rider being Rider (stupid) they went and doubled down on the femoid tertiary shite. Here's hoping that our tomboy is a happy medium.

>>23610897
Women are very territorial. And rightfully so, look what one 19-year old hafu temptress did to poor Asai.

>>23610492 (OP)
So... Have we got Sentai again tomorrow or is it still getting cucked by sports?

>>23610870
Wait, incels are gay?

>>23610876
What if, she was indeed innocent aboot the affair, but the stress of the rumor and people hating her caused a chain reaction and she drinks and got caught and Toei and Seju was like "That's enough, we was gonna give you a chance but you blew it"

>>23610912
Still airing. Apparently next week epsode is her last.

Come on, in GoBlue's case he's the victim.

The english speaking fandom are all hypocrites. Blaming toei and all but they'll definitely be watching Universe Heroes months later or still watch Zeztz. Their lack of actual conviction to what they spout online is hilarious.

>>23610870
The people who hate women the most are other women.

I guess they're gonna introduce the new Unicorn tomorrow in the official Twitter but as a normal person at first.

Even if she's a tomboy, she still won't be as good as a male. Females just don't work well in Rider Trio dynamics.

>Monkey: Mayu Imamori

>>23610932
Hirano and Taniguchi both accused each other of domestic violence, people just sided with Taniguchi because he's the one who called the cops on her and she has a pretty terrible reputation from all the previous scandals she got into.

>Monkey: The Super Sentai franchise

>>23610492 (OP)
This is how the suit should've looked like in the first place, given that this ended up being the final sentai. Why they wouldn't choose to end with the classic Gorenger color scheme is beyond me.

>>23610928
Just like how no-one hates nerds more than other nerds

>>23610563
she had a moment of weakness after dealing with a tabloid scandal for multiple months in a row, are we seriously going to be angry that someone a year below legal drinking age decided to have one to calm her nerves?

>>23610983
Being half-filipino.

So if I'm correct, Hasbro is the reason Toei retiring Super Sentai name or something like that? I need the full rundown on what they're doing to Super Sentai. And apparently that they brought Power Rangers to Japan and did a Jap dub for it? Was it the Saban and Disney era shows?

>>23610983
>source is only tabloid, which has a profit incentive to either lie or twist the truth

Whoa leaked footage of upcoming Gozyuger episodes guys

>>23610992
oh god, they're gonna edit the OP aren't they

>>23610992
Tragic as the situation is, I need to strike the shitposting iron while it's still hot.

>>23610986
It's seemingly a rebrand/retool (into Universe Heroes) so they have total ownership of the franchise without any Saban/Hasbro/Power Rangers etc. red tape dangling off it.
They dubbed SPD back in the day with the original cast voicing their colors/characters (I think they did with Abaranger/Dino Thunder too) but that's it.

>>23610994
I'm out

>>23610986
It's because they don't want to be associated with Maya Imamori any more

>>23610970
Gokaiger kinda stopped them to do anniversary with Goranger colors, Kiramager was kinda anniversary because it aired 45 years after Goranger.

>>23610527
Are you retarded anon?
It confirms there was some reality to them, the drinking is obviously an excuse.

>>23610986
Not Hasbro, Saban

>>23610991
The same source that leaked Asai's early retirement, the same source that leaked the show's retool thanks to the affair. Keep coping, Maya lost.

>>23611005
Imagine batting for a gossip rag

Why do people outside of here say that the affair was faked?

>>23611009
They don't want to believe it

>>23611009
There's still no hard proof of any of it.

>>23611011
Yeah, they totally fired her for drinking.

This doesn't affect Shimozono at all, right? She still need to feed her two kids....

do you think they're rewriting 40s right now to have bouquet take over as unicorn

>>23611012
Got any proof otherwise?

If she’s really innocent, I think they will go out of their way to protect her image since losing a rising talent is a huge waste and no company would want that. I think if an official investigation is carried out, the uncomfortable truth would be revealed. Seju/ Toei would be in serious trouble for lying.

>>23610986
>>23610996
The rebrand is being done because Sentai has performed terribly in Japan for 10 years now. According to the info we've gotten so far, Universe Heroes barely resembles the Sentai we used to know, it's more like Kamen Rider with mechas.

The west is a mostly unexplored market for 100% Japanese Toei Toku and it's not guaranteed to succeed over there.

>>23611009
Not really. I've been surfing the nip and chink sns, and so far lot of em really calling the drinking part a scapegoat.

>>23611014
Why would it effect her? If someone like Oto or Bouquet is taking over as GozyuUnicorn then she's suit act still.

>>23611015
Well yeah naturally. 38 is apparently the "Sumino went back to her home planet" episode so they're rewriting tons of shit seemingly.

>>23611006
Imagine simping for a homewrecking whore.

>>23611014
she got into drama too back when Donbrothers almost ended

>>23611017
She issued an apology instead of claiming she's innocent, Seju and Toei have both formally cut ties with her, it's over for her.

>>23611020
>38 is apparently the "Sumino went back to her home planet" episode
It's going to be hastily put together out of whatever footage they shot for the original episode, complete with bad dubbing. The original Gozyuger 38 will be lost media.

>>23611014
>She still need to feed her two kids....
You mean her dogs?

>>23611018
>The west is a mostly unexplored market for 100% Japanese Toei Toku and it's not guaranteed to succeed over there.
Absolutely not the case anymore. Toei has been dumping Kamen Rider seasons in streaming services and it has been doing well. Not world-shattering numbers, but well.

Also, that's only half of the reason. Another reason for the rebrand is because Hasbro killed the deal for Toei to keep distributing PR rangers toys and that finished killing off the toyline, and with it, the franchise itself.

Pic related.

>>23611009
They're coping just like the Imamori simps here.

Now that she's got nothing to lose, Maya might as well drag Asai down with her.

Aya Hirano came back into acting with a boom, she was legit amazing in the live-action pokemon show

I don't listen to trolls like you. I believe in Maya.

>>23611017
Can they just make her say she has an ilness so she's leaving for a health reason? Worked for Fuuwa Kuroda.
Using "underage drinking" will make people who never follow the affair news to think she's just randomly drinking one day.

>>23610605
She's probably staying for a couple more episodes at least, then we'll get an added on scene where she's quickly removed somehow, considering her removal from the show's website.

>>23611035
I thought the leaks said that the episode airing next week (not this week) was her final episode

>>23611014
>SHIT NIGGA I GOT FIVE KIDS TO FEED!

>>23611033
Asai already used the "ilness" excuse for his exit, so can't repeat that in such a short row.

>>23611031
Excellent performance as a schizo cunt. Must come naturally to her.

Say they're different illnesses then. He has AIDS and she has HPV.

>>23611028
>Absolutely not the case anymore. Toei has been dumping Kamen Rider seasons in streaming services and it has been doing well. Not world-shattering numbers, but well
Sentai can't put any of its previous seasons on streaming in the west without Hasbro's permission. Also, they've only just begun simulcasting with Zeztz, which is the show they wanna use as an introduction to the franchise for western viewers (which goes to show that the previously finished shows that are in streaming platforms haven't succeeded much in that task), the west is still a largely unexplored market for them and their recent reports all acknowledge that.

>>23611026
For some reason it kinda reminds me of Powaa Renjaa when they have to replace Jason, Trini and Zack with body doubles for a while.

>>23611028
>Another reason for the rebrand is because Hasbro killed the deal for Toei to keep distributing PR rangers toys
You're a retard, Toei doesn't handle the toys.

>>23611026
They're likely prepared for this, her exit already filmed since September.

>>23611031
Aya Hirano was a multitalented top star in Japan before the scandals gimped her career. Maya was just getting started, she's a nobody who wishes she was half as talented as Hirano.

>>23611031
Aya Hirano was a multitalented top star in Japan before the scandals gimped her career. Maya was just getting started, she's a nobody who wishes she was half as talented as Hirano and who's best known for staining the image of an entire franchise on its deathbed.

>>23611017
How seriously do nips actually treat a 19 year old drinking? Because I wonder if they did that as a way of letting her go without a much major scandal on her head after confirming that she did indeed fuck Asai.

how do you think the tabloid got their sources on this?
>Maya and Asai openly flirted in front of staff on set who then spread the news
>camera guys caught them in the act and decides this would be good scoop
>straight from producers (unlikely)

>>23610660
Literally all girls like athletic guys lmao

I think Imamori was sleeping around and doing inappropriate shit related to that but I still don't think she fucked Asai. His reasons cited for leaving had precedent with his epilepsy making performance difficult, and it's completely credible that his epilepsy exacerbated more than he anticipated; I'm epileptic and I was told I should be fine for a certain time window and then when my house flooded and I had to strain myself so much during the repairs/clean up that it exacerbated my system permanently with such severity I now have an RNS installed. He has an entire choreographic style centered around slamming his back onto the ground, you can't take bumps to your spine (and likely back of your head since no one's perfect) as an epileptic that often and not have your symptoms get worse. The physiological stress alone was probably burning the candle at both ends. I feel bad that now people are going to misconstrue his failing health with some casting couch-hopper because people are falling for a retread of the "Hana slept with Eitoku" story that an anon literally made up in /krg/.

>>23610673

>This is bullshit. They stood with her when Bunshin happened.
This got a press release from Toei and immediate update of the Gozyuger Tv asahi site, so they must have known about it for a while. They probably just wanted a better way to declare her departure and found this drinking excuse.

>>23611068
No.

>>23610899
>>23610903
They're just assuming that from the title "Last Case". Although depending on when this happened behind the scenes that could be it. Maybe the original title was something else and they throw in a new final scene writting her off.

>>23611059
One rumor says one of the tabloids got videos and photos of the affair and demanded money from Toei and Seju to keep quiet about it, this rumor also says that Asai's wife learned of the affair and complained to Seju about it.

One of the tabloids directly said they got the scoop about how this affected the production from a Toei employee within Gozyuger's production. Toei probably conducted an internal investigation when they caught wind of the potential affair.

>>23611063
>His reasons cited for leaving had precedent with his epilepsy making performance difficult, and it's completely credible that his epilepsy exacerbated more than he anticipated
Yeah, but it could also be a pretty convenient excuse. JAE also didn't acknowledge his retirement at all and went completely quiet for a while when the affair articles finally came out.

>>23610912

how do i make her suffer and feel bad?

fap but with an evil face

>>23611092
If you are fat or ugly it probably wouldn't make her happy.

>>23611089
Especially if they're old enough to be her dad.

>>23610986
toei used to get money from power rangers. Hasbro stopped caring about power rangers, stopped making new seasons using their footage, stopped releasing their toys overseas. So the only solution to make money now is to kill sentai and replace it with a new toku that they can push overseas without hasbro stepping on their necks.

On one hand I feel bad for her actress.
On the other hand Sumino was easily the worst part of Gozyuger so I'm glad she's gone.

>>23611113
Sentai wasn't making money in Japan either.

>>23611116
and yea sentai stopped making money in Japan too so it's all the more reason to just tie everything up and move on.

>>23611114
It will be new actress but still as Sumino.

She's lucky she didn't have to shave

Hilarity that they think Toei would care about some rando illegal pirate

so apparently Toei removed todays episode preview. guess that means they are gonna redo the remaining episodes?

I dunno how Toei did things back in Goranger's times when the Kiranger deal happened, but this seems to be worse.

couldn't they just air whats left and be done with it? the people know at least the main eps. are finished. it is incredible that the end of super sentai had to be this stupidly painful.

>>23611133
They actually got a cease and desist letter once, which is what led them to change their name on the cat site.

>>23611135

>>23611134
The show hadn't finished filming yet when they found out Maya fucked Asai a couple of months ago, they also halted production for a while to sort this thing out. They didn't just decide to fire Maya yesterday, this was an announcement months in the making.

>tabloids reported on suminos actress having an affair with someone from Toei. (however it is impossible to confirm said reports as true given the Japanese history of racism towards half-filipinos, which the actress, Maya imamori is)
>there were talks of taking her out of the show instead of toei just... I dunno... IGNORING THAT SHIT?
>yesterday, her firing became official, Toei claimed it was because 'underage drinking'. we don't know how things are gonna go for her, for Gozyuger as a show, or the end of super sentai now.

>>23611142
Gozyu Unicorn's actress, whom they announced would be removed from the show yesterday.
>>23610233
>>23610542

>>23611136
BOROBORO DA

>>23611150
>however it is impossible to confirm said reports as true given the Japanese history of racism towards half-filipinos, which the actress, Maya imamori is
Are you really pushing this cope? All the other half-filipino Toku actresses have no scandals like this.

>>23611153
you DO realize you are just confirming that more by posting that, right?

Honestly the news didn't matter much to me, I'm not going to demonize either side but...
>OverTime, known for the turbo woke community it has fostered is chimping out at the half filipino girl being removed from the cast citing racism
>Same community that tried to cancel a comedian for voicing Vice (from Kamen Rider Vice) for having made blackface comedy in the past
Given all the false accusations and shit the turbo libtards have done in the past I'm 100% supporting Japan and Toei on this, especially given whenever their narrative is proven wrong and they have ruined or could've potentially ruined a fan individual or franchise's reputation they never take accountability for it either
May whatever comes after Super Sentai thrive vigorously and establish itself in the annals of toku history

>>23611150
>>23611155
You have to go back nigga.

>>23611155
Fucking how? If your stupid narrative was correct, we would've heard about other half-filipino actresses setting slandered, but there's nothing on them. The idea that this was racially motivated is a fucking cope, this shit happens to fully Japanese actresses too.

>>23611133
Western toku fans are some of the most delusional people on the planet

Well, at least Imamori now has something to make money of; conning the seamonkey white knights in the form of, heh, con-vention

>>23611153
There's a cope for that too.

>>23611164
When aren't they harping on about made up shit to support their own narrative or some bullshit about pro trans rights or alphabet society faggotry and trying to corrupt toku with their ideology? I literally jerk off to men in helmets and tights myself and their bullshit is tiring to see on my timeline I just want to enjoy Tokusatsu for what it is, and the other thing I do in my own private time, not some kindof retarded forced narrative or representation of sorts. I am not special, neither are they.

>>23611164
Like how Sakura and Hana were the most popular characters of Revice, right?

I need the jav debut

>>23611168
>and their bullshit is tiring to see on my timeline
Why do you follow people you don't like

>>23611166
Sabela's actress was open about her ancestry and she's not part of any scandals. And of course you're a Twitter tranny.

>>23611164
Most of the JP comments just put the blame on her lol

>>23611164
>most beloved female ranger
Lol lmao

>>23611174
And she doesn't have a kon

>>23611172
I don't, I just follow of tokusatsu related accounts and then the algorithm brings them up and it's always the same shit. I instinctively mute every English speaking tokusatsu fan account.

Maya can go the Riley Gaines path where she cries non-stop about transgender stealing her Sentai job and grifts to the max

>>23611165
Dunno if someone like Toku Spirits dare to do it because they removed Toru Furuya (AkaRed) after his scandal got revealed.

>>23611180
I won't be surprised if she becomes a Youtuber like Miyu Murashima who also got canceled before.

>>23611178
What's a kon?

>>23611184
Job

BoukenBlack gives his opinion

JP tabloids have been trying to get Maya for months now with some kind of controversy
I guess they finally found some dirty worth ruining her life with.

>>23611184
what'sakonwith you?

>>23611174
Maya clearly got done in for adultery, hence why she was silently removed months in advance and her final episode is next week. She probably got caught for drinking underage too but they used that to let her go lightly. Seriously in the grander picture what sounds worse?

Being let go from your agency for fucking a married man, or quietly rewriting history and retroactively claiming she was release due to drinking alcohol underage?

The latter will be the official reason why the former which most likely did actually happen will fade into obscurity and be forgotten by most because it was never official.

>>23611186
She's still getting gigs as a model.

>>23611194
Because shes a failed actress

>>23611194
she still needs an agency for modeling job

A lot of actors are sounding off about this and seem to find it absurd as well.
She as fucking 19 according to some sources.
Kind of reminds me of the basedjak meme where he's disgusted when the girl is 17 but a minute passes to her birthday then he starts to perv out.

>>23610923
I just want you to know this made me laugh really hard.

>>23611193
And before anyone says "I'm just making it sound like the agency was supporting Maya" fuck no.
The agency is doing it for themselves as well, that's why getting caught drinking alcohol at 19 and making it sound like that was the reason is so baffling when it's a cover up for the real reason they were removed because it sounds less heinous for the both of them.

They would not reshoot the fucking show if she just drank some alcohol.

The cover-up is Toei’s way of saving face for both themselves and Imamori’s future.

>>23611198
>She as fucking 19 according to some sources.
Drinking age in Japan is 20 and japs are strict, also to be fair their roles also put them in the spot to be a role model for kids so they'd probably be held to a stricter standard for that kind of stuff. All ignoring the fact that this isn't just an obvious affair cover up

>>23611196
Every girl in her agency is mainly a model.

When will /ssg/ go back to the older, simpler days when it was just about Tegajune raping Tegasword?

I hope her death isn't as unnecessarily long and brutal as Yellow 4's was in Bioman.

>>23611063
How viable is the surgery to remove the brain tissue causing the epilepsy? Some people speculate that he probably could have done that and gotten better and then come back if it was just epilepsy and not just Imamori ending his career.

>>23610905
>>23610934
>to a sausage fest with the most archetypal pretty boy ever. Then of course Rider being Rider (stupid) they went and doubled down on the femoid tertiary shite
And did an all male trio again with Gavv.

>>23611119
the new unicorn will be Oto

>>23611218
And sold sell than Saber. Let's face it, female riders sell.

>>23610783
I mean Japanese fans are shit after all, never forget Bouken Black

>>23611211
Not until we get info on what Universe Heroes is actually going to be

>>23611189
this is a little odd coming from him, given that he's also been screwed over in the past by a bullshit fake scandal

>>23611216
It's a 60-80% success rate, which in simple terms is goddamn scary for anything involving brain surgery. My RNS device surgery bottomed out at 80% and I still needed to sign multiple liability forms because it was too risky a margin. Note, these don't cure the condition either, they only reduce seizure frequencies. I only have a seizure about a third as often as I used to after the surgery but that's after several years. If he only got the surgery within the past 3 or so years, intense activity like stuntwork could easily cause more harm than any treatment would have prevented in that time frame. He full-on retired because of it, he only came back because it was an anniversary project.

I can concede the timing is a little weird but based on filming schedule info we have it's also right when there'd be definite escalation of what GozyuWolf in particular would have to be doing which could have brought Asai past a threshold of what could be considerably safe even by the very liberal standards of Japanese stunt companies.

>>23611208
The fact that there were seemingly no leaks nor tabloid stories about her drinking alcohol before the announcement lends some credence to the idea that it's a cover-up for the affair.

Normally, an agency would just keep quiet about their talent's misbehavior and scold them in private, and would only address it openly if it got leaked and made it to the news. But in this case Seju and Toei decided to announce it themselves when they could've kept quiet about it, acted like nothing had happened and saved themselves some trouble since there weren't any reports of this anywhere. There's only reports of the supposed affair.

>>23611224
Perhaps he's simply not the type to hold a grudge for a long time, as absolutely horrible as that situation must have been for him.

Man both this place and twitter would look dumb if it really was just underage drinking and nothing else.

>>23610905
>>23611218
Saber and Gavv are also the lowest-selling shows in Reiwa. Coincidence?

That alien prince dude (formerly yellow) will become Unicorn. His suit actor will remain a woman.

>>23611234
it already looks dumb. People will say I'm coping, but it's really weird how much faith everyone is putting in some random tabloid magazine when tabloids by their very nature are incentivized to cook up scandals.

>>23610496
THOT BEGONE

>>23610738
Seppuku soon.

>>23611242
This place just loves ragebait, has been a thing since Kingoh sadly bringing a lot of outsiders, particularly /v/ermin.

>>23611230
People shocked that an older actor has a mature, level headed response and isn't a simp mangina like all the troons on twitter.

>>23611016
No, its totally a coincidence this happened to the same person tied to rumors who tie her to the dude that was already fired from the show.

>>23611242
I wouldn't believe them either if they hadn't leaked Asai's earlier than expected departure 2 weeks before the official announcement, described a series of production issues that line up with these current events, and if the official reason for Imamori's firing didn't sound so bullshit.

>>23611197
She can join Hiro Mizushima blacklisted agency.

>>23611206
NO, its just they're very very strict with drinking.

>>23611252
Sure. I bet if they had a photo of her jaywalking they would’ve cut her from the agency for that as well.

>>23611238
I mean, Saber had to deal with Kimetsu no Yaiba and Covid back when it was airing, right?

>>23611252
Yeah, keep telling that to yourself.

>>23611249
>>23611242
Yeah, the fact we're getting a press release and changes to the show confirmed means Toei didn't just learn about this situaiton it had been on-going, which then line up with the previous tabloid rumors, just to the cause changed to something that seems less "offensive".

>>23611242
It's probably a bit of projection. Deep down, everyone wants to be the slut at the center of a franchise-ending sex scandal.

>>23611266
>Deep down, everyone wants to fuck a suit actor

fix'd, I would've gone after Nitta instead

Are the dumbass redxtwit western toku fans still trying to push the race card into all of this? Do they even know how insulting this to others of mixed race in Japan? It's the internet of course someone's going to mention her race against her if she does something fucking stupid, what alternate dimension does anyone live in where that doesn't happen? It's the same thing with a furry giving a retarded opinion or take on the internet - People will shit on their furry pfp first before even bothering to dissect why their argument or opinion is fucking stupid.
Fukcing libtards trying to act like the internet was just created yesterday and the world actually is a reflection of their twisted echo chamber ideologies.

>>23611266
If I was a slut, I would fuck an up& coming hotshot producer. Not a suit actor on his way out.

>>23611268
Only if they're in costume. Lord knows I've wanted to rail some sentai designs for how long.

I miss these.

So what will parents tell little Hiroshi when he asks why his favorite heroine Ichikawa Sumino is no longer on Gozyuger?

>>23611278
Truck kun married her and isekaid her off into another reality where she became pregnant with truck babies and did her job by repopulating mirror Japan

>>23611278
“See episode 38, speedwatcher”

>>23611278
That he's weird for liking her.

A middle-aged epileptic got it on with a 19 year old model.

What is YOUR excuse?

All these fucking westoids whining about THE EVIL TOEI HOW COULD THEY GIVE INTO BUNSHUN DEMANDS I BLAME THEM FOR EVERYTHING! MAYA IS AN INNOCENT SWEET ANGEL WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SEX IS not understanding the underage drinking cope is Toei saving her ass from appearing on 100 news articles as "Sentai actress loves to fuck married men only". They should be fucking thanking Toei for being this lenient instead of showing the details and completely destroying any chance of her being in anything other than AVs.

>>23611278
little Hiroshi barely cares about Rikuo, Ryuji and Kinjiro, let alone Sumino.

>>23611285
honestly I don't think toei themselves had a choice once Seju dropped her. They can't keep her on if she no longer has a talent agency, right?

>>23611278
The show will have some kind of explanation. Whether that's acceptable or not, it's another matter. But even though Toei had avoided such situation since the 80s, in the middle of the show, everyone is used with a new cast every year anyway.

>>23611285
>westoids
Half the big account on toku xitter are SEAmonkeygods.

>>23611288
Wasn't Hikari Kabashima kinda freelance in between Revice series and post-series specials?

>Tegajune tries to rape Tegasword again, Sumino places herself between them and takes the attack
>she dies because no human being can withstand the lust of Tegajune and live

>>23611291
They're honorary niggers.

>>23611288
>>23611293
I think Nox from Zeztz is a freelancer too.

I remembered the account PRSentai bitching about something similar every few months and checked if they were bitching about this as well, and lo and behold yes they are. Like fucking clockwork.

How does Erica Murakami constantly post herself drinking and get away with it

>>23611288
They can, they're a little more flexible with it than other studios. They'd need another excuse or ignoring the fact she got kicked until a larger rumor came out, and I don't think the execs at Toei are that stupid to just hope nobody asks about it.

>>23611301
By not fucking a married man and committing adultery

>Sumino discovers the Unicorn ring can wake Oto up
>gives her the ring
>leaves
This really is the most elegant solution, if they can make it work with the footage they have.

>>23611306
No, its totally the drinking and being hafu.

I haven't been following the timeline of events, how far in advance could they have written her off of the show? Wouldn't filming have mostly been done by then?

>>23611301
White privilege... it's everywhere...

>>23611301
I do wonder.

>>23611307
>>23611314
Let’s just say it’s very convenient that Oto exists.

Nip culture around alcohol is so weird. Things like the actors and staff having to blur beer mugs in photos. Muslim-tier shit.

>>23611307
>>23611318
I doubt Oto is gonna be the replacement. They will probably want to scrub clean every mention of Sumino in the show.

People were speculating Bouquet could join the team. Maybe that's why they came up with the new general?

>>23611031
Hirano managed to return because she was a huge star, her role as Haruhi alone is iconic enough. So she waited until people got nostalgic and forgave her.
This is not the same situation. Maya kneecapped her career right at the start.

>>23611322
Some of that is because of brands. If you take a photo at some site, and there's a brand/logo on a wall, you have to blur it. Why? I forgot, something about public image. Same goes for beer cans, even if nips drink heavily.

>>23611299
He's a freelancer and big name too

>>23611273
I hope they do a 50th anniversary version but with the robot instead of red.

>>23611114
The worst part of Gozyuger is Tyranno. That nigga was a shitter in his sole focus episode and has done nothing but scream for 40 episodes. Sumino might also be a a bad actress but her character at least has some kind of plot involvement in the show. Tyranno is just there

>>23611339
how the fuck he still don't get any rings again

>>23611314

Well, Toei's press release suggests episode content would be adjusted, so I'd guess they might have shot some scenes later on that were then integrated into previous episodes to set up her leaving or even to outright replace her in some episodes. That might have moved the last episode with focus on her ahead and then just replace her in other episodes.

>>23611164
Which brown country is this guy from?

Stop blaming the Western fanbase for this it's the Southeast Asians who keep pushing the retarded ass racism angle.

>>23611342
I wonder if Rei was meant to last longer in the show but they walked back on that to finish the Sumino/Oto storyline ASAP.

It's Suminover

Watching Gozyuger right now and I just can't focus on Sumino as a character without thinking about Maya.

Right now must also be an awkward feeling for anyone running a toku inspired manga or anything like that

>>23611362
>Sumino
>character
Good one.

>>23611324
It's not possible for them to scrub all mention of her from the show, and there's no reason to condemn Oto.

>>23611362
>This bitch smells like cum again today. Maybe if I get behind this pillar it'll be tolerable...

I want cute gyaru unicorn, but if bouquet ends up being the replacement i want her to get her own suit with her own color

sumino's one of the better parts of the show, this sucks

>>23611362
>can't focus on Sumino
Don't worry the show didn't either.

>>23611379
No she wasn’t kinjiro carried her character by making her his granddaughter

>>23611384
>you are now aware she would fuck kinjiro too

>>23611384
i like her interactions with the cast

>>23611378
I'd be content with Bouquet being a pink version of Unicorn like the OP pic

>>23611363
Are talking bout the manga about a fictional toku producer?
Isn't one of the character's name sounds like based of Maya Imamori?

ACTUAL GOZYUGER POWER RANKING
>Ryuji: The only one with an arc, can actually act.
>Kinjiro: The only other one who can actually act which somehow puts him in second place.
>Rikuo: He's the only one with an actual plot focus, Toei are cowards for dropping him being a scammer scumbag after two episodes.
>Hoeru: Can't fucking act but he has good charisma.
>POWERGAP
>Kumade: Number 1 wasted sixth.
>POWERGAP
>Sumino: No character gimmicks, rarely the focus, not even the main protagonist of her plot, Rikuo is.

Absolutely no idea where all the people claiming Sumino is "one of the better parts of the show" are coming from, her character has done fucking nothing and I swear there were one or two episodes early on where she never even showed up outside of the suit.

Japan is mostly divided about the news. One side is livid such a person was cast in the first place. Another side is neutral and just hopes the best for the rest of the production. The other is livid that they would just dump her and move on like nothing's happened. More importantly, the totakus are more furious that they essentially wasted money hoping for the best
>Start preorders and closed down before the news for the GRosso show and Chou Eiyuu Sai
>Promote off shot things like the Gozyuger vacation trip for the BD and a signed handprint slab for the movie home release
>Still continuously use her image to sell and promote new merch items like the chibi dolls.
And then there's seju who shut down her fanclub chatroom with A DAY NOTICE. Along with GRosso and Chou Eiyuu Sai, all sales are final and no refunds would be given if people brought them to support her. Basically giving a big middle finger to her fanbase.

>>23611394
>Fire candle
>Bouquet
>massive power gap
>the list you just posted

>>23610631
Hirose's dad was pretty cute.

>>23611399
>Basically giving a big middle finger to her fanbase.
Still less worse than what she did to them.

My hot take: I literally don't give a fuck about infidelity, yeah it's a horrible thing to do but I have no issue with it just being totally handled behind closed doors. That being said when you're the star of a children's show you do have to be held to higher standards so I think firing is reasonable.
If it is, somehow, ONLY because she got caught drinking underaged that's fucking retarded. It doesn't even seem like she did anything like causing a ruckus in public or being a menace, hell there aren't even pictures of her drinking. Fucking Touma got caught smoking, gambling, and leaving a love hotel all during Covid with photos and he was just fine.

>>23611394
The degens who watch sentai and toku only to goon at underage female asians
One of them was part of O-T and they literally are only motivated to sub shows that feature young females he jacks off to
Literally look at every female kamen rider special on nyaa and you'll notice they're all subbed by the same person
They don't care about toku, the depth or writing of a show or a character, or how fun the show is, or how good they are at acting, or how relevant or impactful the character is, they are literally just fucking degens who obsess over underage girls and actresses and fantasize about themselves white knighting for them

Coming up next UNIVERSE HEROES a brand new world full of colorful heroes where all the girls will forever be pink or yellow virgins and over 20

>>23611406
You can just say Ei's name. We all know who you are talking about.

>>23611394
I feel like Hoeru's actor is just doing his absolute best Captain Marvelous impression. Some of his mannerisms copy Marvelous to a T.

>>23611410
>I feel like Hoeru's actor is just doing his absolute best Captain Marvelous impression. Some of his mannerisms copy Marvelous to a T.
I have to be honest I see literally zero similarities or any attempts to emulate Marvelous, like at all.

>>23611406
You say this yet the only thing Ei's touched for Gozyuger is the Transformation Lessons and the promotional materials like the Anniversary Debate. A majority of them don't feature Sumino.

>>23611390
Nah I just meant in general since there's a decent number of toku inspired manga and such going on nowadays

>>23611414
>trust nobody

>>23611406
>>23611408
but Ei's a bislut, he's also gay for Alain from Ghost

>>23611413
I'm not saying he's the only one I'm saying he's just an example of the tips fedora gooner community who watches toku only for the females, like that one YT guy who claimed Sakura was the most popular character in Revice

>>23611405
>Fucking Touma got caught smoking, gambling, and leaving a love hotel all during Covid with photos
He was not underage when doing all of those, nor was he sleeping with a married woman, just his girlfriend. Still a bit scandalous, but only for people who are obsessed with dating lives of celebrities. A little irresponsible but nothing outrageous or morally wrong.

>>23611423
>A little irresponsible but nothing outrageous or morally wrong.
Just like underaged drinking (by 6 months?) which is my point.
To be clear I firmly believe it's the cover-up theory, but it's dumb they picked such an insipid dumb thing to use as the cover-up.

>>23611406
Careful, you'll summon the /krg/ pedoschizo that spends his days spamming and jerking off to 15 year olds.

>>23611424
I mean, it's better for her if it is a dumb reason.

>>23611427
You're replying to him.

When was the last time we had a second gen character?

>>23611406
18 is adult age in my country

>>23611429
I guess that's a good point, and maybe the bright side of it all. Toei was willing to let her go with a really dumb lie that can (potentially) allow her to have a career going forward, when the alternative is just nuking her career forever by confirming the affair.

>>23611424
One is illegal, the other is not

>>23611424
>Just like underaged drinking
Underaged drinking is illegal
Smoking and having sex isn't

>>23611424
It's still against the law, even if she did it a week before being legal. Everything Touma did wasn't.
That said, I agree, but that's the least bad cover story they could pick, precisely because of how you feel when hearing it. They could have thrown her under the bus with a more serious reason and match stories with her, but they chose the least bad one so it wouldn't be a massive hit. And it certainly beats having a sex scandal on a kids show. Basically, it's just for people out of the loop to think "okay, I have to respect the laws" and not "so she was just fucking on set?".

>>23611424
One's a crime, as flimsy as it may be. The other isn't, and Naito still basically flagellated himself in front of Hiroshi Fujioka in tears for the scandal of... doing some of the perfectly legal things most 20-something Japanese people do (Pachinko, smoking) and something Japanese people struggle to do (Have sex with his girlfriend).

>>23611436
your country isn't japan, you don't matter

>>23611444
>it certainly beats having a sex scandal on a kids show
I don't understand. Even if they were to officially give her the boot for riding the wrong cock or whatever the problem here was, it's not like the target audience would ever know or care. The alcohol thing just seems like a completely pointless song and dance to me.

>Thread's full of SEAmonkeys chimping out
Sucks that happened to her, but goddamn, relax.

>>23611453
>it's not like the target audience would ever know or care
The soccer moms and sponsors care, a lot, like a lot a lot.

>>23610496
Holy shit, I didn't think this was real. How did things go this bad?

Thankfully none of this matters as Sentai has already died.

>>23611406
Kudo Mio isn't underaged and she's one of Ei's obsessions. If it really is just his 'pedo' tendencies, he wouldn't be touching other mature contents like Lachesis or Yodonna

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkYsKdBWjZ0

And of coure, youtube "tokusatsu fans" are alrady screaming "bullying" instead of what actually happened. Because of course they are.

>>23611473
Wasn't she underaged during Ghost?

>>23611481
She and Ei are (supposedly) the same age.

Wow i can’t believe sumino got an offer to work as a detective in america and then her plane exploded

Trouble amongst the ranks of SEAwitter

>>23611479
This guy is a brown SEAnigger, isn't he?

>people are unable to read between the lines and realize she was fired for the affair and the drinking thing is just an excuse
we all know the show is filmed further in advance than usual, if she is only in 2 more episodes, that means she was likely fired 3 months ago, when news of the affair first broke

Yellow 4 wasn't fired, she just ghosted the production one day and they had to scramble to replace her. Vul Eagle wasn't fired either they knew starting out he'd only be in half the show because he had other contractual obligations.

Invest in bouquet coin anons, maybe they don’t even want to keep the unicorn suit and she’ll become gozyuflower or something

The scene with Rikuo and Boquet in the flower shop in the episode right before the universe reset was very cute and I'm sad they haven't had that many more scenes since then.

LOL

Bad faith people will always take the opportunity to act in bad faith. Because Toei is choosing a light face saving reason for all parties, people will ignore any unofficial reasons to create their own narrative.

The only way Maya can restore her reputation is by performing in lesbian porn where she plays the role of police officer punishing a delinquent for underage drinking

I can fix her.

There's people screenshotting random Japanese accounts with zero interaction to try and make it like all of Japan would prefer she jus do porn.

Imamori will retire to the philippines and become my filipina wife

It's hilarious to watch them try to frame the issue in the only way they know (either racism or sexism) and completely ignore the simple "extramarital affairs bad". They literally cannot comprehend that there can be issues in this world that go beyond sexism and racism.

Does he have a scandal too?

All toku 'commentators' are fat Indonesians

Maya should become a GIGA heroine now. That would probably make her more money than Gozyuger ever did.

They can. They've had retired actors no longer part of an agency on. It's not ideal, but they'd be able to manage it if only to end the show without having to dump her at the 11th hour. The fact that they are doing so anyway suggests it's more than just her agency.

>Gozyu Unicorn becomes the best-selling heroine in Sentai
This would be beyond pottery.

Because she's no longer on the current airing show and is of legal drinking age

>>23611548
Not all Indonesians are cucked.

I'm sad.

Are they sold out or are retailers dumping it?
