UPDATE: This is a new torrent that fixes the issues with episodes 1,2,3,4 and 18. It now also includes ep 40, which was missing in the previous torrent.
Start Up!
We’re back with an all new re-translation of GoGo Sentai Boukenger. This release include episodes 1-49, Promo, Summer Movie, VS Super Sentai Movie, the 30 Sentai Encyclopedia segments, a fan-made trailer, as well as a fan-made “Negative Syndicate Archives” booklet!
Okay where to start… To be honest, this release was really just supposed to be my old scripts slapped onto new raws that were ripped from Amazon Prime Video (these raws have a lot better bitrate then the TTFC once that I used in my last release, and they aren’t cropped like the old ones were). But once I started, I realized that there were quite a few mistranslations in my old scripts, and after Flame took a look at them, he noticed even more lines that were mistranslated. So a new translation was to be made, and that meant they needed to be edited, which Glenn happily agreed to do. Which pretty much made this a completely new project, for what was supposed to be a simple re-release. But luckily, Boukenger is amazing so I wasn’t complaining. Anyways, that’s the gist of it. This is a full re-translation of the show, so if you have my old release, I encourage you to replace it with this one.
Now, what’s new… almost everything lmao.
Things like names of Precious, villains, mecha, locations, etc are all more accurately translated, and that’s not even mentioning the general dialogue now sounding more natural and snappier.
It would be too much to go over, but just know that a lot has been changed and cleaned up, so you’ll be getting the best experience with this sub.
We’ve also gone ahead and translated all the Insert Songs that appear in the show. Any time you hear an insert, just switch to the second subtitle track and it will display the translated lyrics in the left corner.
These episodes include:
2, 5, 6, 7, 16, 19, 20, 24, 29, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 46, 48.
Now, the 30 Sentai Encyclopedia segments.
This was an absolute pain to track down. These segments commemorate the 30th anniversary by having the Boukengers go over previous Super Sentai and staples of the franchise. And they only ever played during the original TV broadcast of the show, never released elsewhere.
I don’t want to get into how much trouble it was finding nearly two decade old TV rips of this show was, but the short story is that we found a Korean site that still had rips available and went to hell and back in order to pay to download them. But we got them, and they are all included in this release fully subbed! Just keep in mind, that they are TV rips, so the quality is no where near as good and the Amazon raws. But until Toei decides to release them in HD, this is the best we’ve got (fingers crossed for a Boukenger Blu-Ray someday).
PS. I have uploaded the complete collection of the TV rips to Internet Archive so that they won’t be at risk of becoming lost media again. (will update once the upload is finished)
The fan-made trailer I posted on my Twitter to announce the fansub is also included in this release. It wasn’t necessary to include, but Adam from Kadam’s Edits did such a great job with it that I just had to preserve it somehow.
Now for the booklet.
This was something I wanted to make to compile all the monsters that appear in the show and go over how they are each inspired by previous Sentai mecha. Unfortunately, the information about what went into deciding the mecha to base the design, and the little details that were included to pay homage to that mecha are quite scarce. Most of the notes from the concept designer, Tamotsu Shinohara, boil down to “oh, and I based it off this mecha btw”. Regardless, I had already started working on it, and I thought I may as well finish it with whatever facts I could find about the monsters and what they did in the show. Ultimately I think it’s a good little data base for all the monsters, and still makes for a great guide as to which monster is based off which previous Sentai mecha, since info online regarding this information is sometimes inaccurate.
The booklet does contain spoilers just fyi, but that should be obvious.
