the best blond singing pirate in tokusatsu
I’ve been doing a Zenkaiger rewatch while I take screenshots for my Stacey-themed side blog (@demonprincesuteishi) and sometimes there are shots of Mashiko Atsuki’s character, Zox Goldtsuiker,* that I can't resist grabbing as well. I know Mashiko has lots of fans on here, many of them MPW fans who aren't familiar with his role on Zenkaiger, so I thought I'd post some highlights.
The one above is from a favorite scene of mine, from the Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger vs. Kiramager vs. Sentaiger movie. It's Zox and Captain Marvelous from Gokaiger being pirates together, featuring a truly sublime finger-gun.
About to face a nemesis in the rain; wearing his Rudolph hat and big sparkly bow tie for Christmas; when a magical kotatsu turned him into a cat
When he was the King of Kashiwa Mochi; pissed off about a tennis game; when Stacey tried to get him to betray Kaito
Being a naughty schoolboy with his sister; eating a little sausage; the evil bizarro version of Zox who went around besmirching his name (you can tell he's evil because he has beautiful eyeliner wings)
Staring down an impostor; when he turned into a yankii stereotype with a mullet; doing his "huh"/"wow" face
In conclusion, if you haven't already, you should watch Zenkaiger. Mashiko Atsuki is excellent in it.
*Character names get romanized in a lot of different ways in tokusatsu because show creators make up names that don't match up with any real type of name in any language or culture. So Zox is sometimes romanized as Zocks, and his family name can be Goldtsuiker or Goldtweaker (I think I saw a third romanization somewhere as well).

Zocks Gorldtsuiker
look at cina desperate to go first and make sure everyone has to look at her preferred spelling <3
works better as part of a dynamic is pretty like. built in. like not only do 6th rangers exist to disrupt the team's dynamic to begin with but he actively came with his Own supporting cast family dynamic that was key to his arc. man meant to be in dynamics what can i say
i dearly wish i could carry him around in my purse but zocks plush is a luxury few can afford <3

Amored Pirates
I drew Sonic as Super Twokaizer/Twokaiser, and then got the idea to draw Benny Stein as Gokai Red with Gokai Galleon Armor. So I drew that too. I have drawn Sonic as Twokaizer before, but this one looks better in my opinion.The Galleon Armor is probably the most detailed power up I've ever drawn.

The tokusatsu to BL pipeline strikes again! aand it definitely seems to be picking up steam. This is the promo image from the announcement of My Personal Weatherman, set to premiere in Japan on August 10th. (I haven’t seen any news about international streaming yet.)
In the past, we’ve had both leads in a BL be former Kamen Riders (first in Senpai, This Can’t Be Love, then Our Dining Table, which had the added distinction of starring two lead Kamen Riders). But this is the first time I’ve seen two leads who are both Super Sentai alums (both very recent ones, in this instance). It’ll likely be a bit hard for tokusatsu fans to spot these two at first glance if they’re only going by this image, as they’ve both got very different looks here than they did their Sentai series. But this is Higuchi Kohei and Mashiko Atsuki, the actors who played Momoi Tarou on Avataro Sentai Donbrothers…
and Zocks Goldtsuiker (or Zox Goldtweaker, depending on whose subtitles you use) on Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger.
There was even a crossover movie, Avataro Sentai Donbrothers VS Zenkaiger, that they were both in.
I probably would have waited to check this one out until I’d heard some reports about its quality, but this casting makes me curious enough that I might check it out right away if it’s on a platform I have access to.

Since we're having a new Donbros vs Zenkai trailer, time to scrub the thing again (Zenkai part because Tumblr)
I can only upload up to 30 images in this site, so, ah...
Link to Donbros Part
The narration here is Zocks going all He's the king of Kachiwa Mochi World and you better call him Goldtsuiker-sama.
Do not leave pirates alone for more than 1 year, they get crazy without constant attention.
By the way, in the first screenshot, Isao is there tied up.
Here the Zenkaiger are reacting at the fact.
I'm thinking they decided to do a repeat of Kachiwa Mochi World because the staff wanted more kachiwa mochi to bring home. Who knows really
Kaito is not happy one of his boyfriends went even more crazy than usual.
This parts has flashes. Meaning that maybe, MAYBE, Flint is actually shooting. Look, I would not put that like its OOC, but its OOC against Magine!
Why Juran has a flute. Like, Juran can play the flute? Like, I know that their mouths actually work eating, but they can breathe from there as well? Look, I have been thinking quite a lot about how Kikanoid physiology affected their society under Tojitendo rule, and the final conclusion is Soylent Green is kikanoids, but still.
By the way, I'm pretty sure they are just surprised for the amount of Kachiwa Mochi in Colorful. But the flute. Is it a Super Sentai reference? Maybe.
Gotta love how civilian kikanoids just need some high density foam and then you have a wide range of emotions.
Here's Flint torturing poor Isao, which is not something I'll consider OOC for her in general, but its OOC with Kaito's Dad!
Here's Kachiwa Mochi World in that goddamn lab which we know nothing about and probably holds all the secrets.
Here's Magine landing on the same conclusion everyone else was working on during the montage of Flint been OOC.
It seems the one responsible of getting Hakaizer back is Stacy. It make me anxious this are the only screenshots outside the crossover part we see of him, but, ehhhhh
Here's Zocks demolishing a Sentai team who doesn't want to fight him seriously. Still, he destroyed Magine magic with one punch.
Zenkaizer and Kachiwa Mochi World in that goddamn lab again.
Here's them hyping the Kaito vs Zocks aspect of it. It's the least interesting part to me honestly.
Let see if Tumblrs lets me!
It didn't for very little, oh well.
To the Crossover part!
