Recap: Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, Mission 36 – Go-Buster Lioh, Kaching!

GOBUSTERS 36

The Go-Busters finally find out Escape has survived too when she appears and demands to see their new power. They say they can’t right now so she decides to just come back later.

The Buddyroids have just come from maintenance. They’ve been deployed a lot lately, especially with how much Powered Custom drains them. Usada suggests they all go to a hot spring to relax.

GOBUSTERS 36

They go tell Hiromu, Ryuji and Yoko, but they say they have no time for that and instead go see how Jin is doing looking into the Lioh Attache computer they were given.

GOBUSTERS 36

Ryuji and Yoko take a ride in Lioh and Usada and Gorisaki feel like their buddies are attending to Lioh more than them. Nick tries to calm them down, but instead Usada calls a Buddyroid Union Meeting amongst themselves.

Usada and Gorisaki suggest getting better treatment and a better working environment as well as a welfare program. Nick thinks they’re overreacting, but has invited J hopefully to lighten the mood an help get the other two’s minds off of their grievances.

GOBUSTERS 36

But they still present their demands; Taking trips for relaxation (like amusement parks), have distributed Enetron be high octane, and to told “Good work” at least once a day. The Go-Busters pooh-pooh their demands and go back to work.

Usada and Gorisaki are definitely not happy and J suggests they go on strike.

GOBUSTERS 36

“We’re not objects! We want better treatment!
We’re on strike!
Buddyroid Union”

The Go-Busters react like the Buddyroids are just making more nonsense when suddenly the Lioh Attaché announces an Enteron Spike as another Messiah card installs on a bulldozer.

The Lioh Attache then announces a Megazord in transport. Morishita, feeling a little like the Buddyroids now, asks Nakamura, What’s the point of them being there if there’s Lioh Attaché to do their job.

“Please don’t say depressing things.”

Fed up, Gorisaki grabs the Lioh Attache and he and Usada run out the door. Kuroki tells Nick to take care of the two as the three Go-Busters and J head out.

The new Metaroid, Bulldozerroid, studies how strong human creations are, like buildings which it, well, bulldozes as it researches.

GOBUSTERS 36

Jin joins the four and they henshin, but Bulldozerroid completely overpowers them. They decide to use Powered Custom, but it isn’t working since the Buddyroids are not in sync with them and nothing will happen if they don’t want to go.

GOBUSTERS 36

In the hangar with Lioh, Nick tries to get Usada and Gorisaki to calm down. He points to Lioh and says he is probably pretty lonely too. His parent passed away as well and now has to fight without a partner. They may work on different systems, but they should support him too.

Suddenly. The Lioh Attache announces “Cool down. Down.” And “Energy Charge. Charge.” referring to Ryuji and Yoko’s weak points acting up. Usada and Gorisaki decide they can’t let their buddies down, so Nick leads them in a “Ready… Go!” and they head out.

GOBUSTERS 36

They save the Go-Busters from Bulldozerroid’s shots and the Go-Busters can now use Powered Custom. Escape arrives to try out the new power and Ryuji goes to face her while Hiromu and Yoko take on the Bulldozerroid.

GOBUSTERS 36

Escape’s shock that Gog and Magog have no effect allows Ryuji to use a Gorillarge Punch at her, shattering Gog, Magog, and her glasses. She takes a big hit, her head is now bleeding data, so she leaves.

Jin tells Hiromu to transform the Lioh Attache and he uses it to form the Lioh Buster to fire at and finish off Bulldozerroid.

The Megazord arrives and Ryuji says he wants to try something. He asks Kuroki to deploy GT-02 and RH-03 along with Lioh. Nick stays behind as Ryuji tells Hiromu and Yoko to combine all three.

GOBUSTERS 36

They are unsure at first, but Usada and Gorisaki want Lioh to join them. They combine, Hiromu uses an Ignition Tornado finisher and the Megazord is finished off.

GOBUSTERS 36

Yoko and Ryuji apologize to Usada and Gorisaki about not paying attention to them.

But Nick feels bad about being left out of the new Megazord combination. He starts to cry and decides to run away, funnily.

J: “Why are you running like that?”

Episode Thoughts
lol That was a fun episode. Definitely a lot of funny stuff, not the least of which being J delivering as he always does. His dry humor is hilarious.

I definitely like how the Buddyroids are pretty much the 6th-8th members of the team. They have gotten just as much character development as the Go-Busters, which is very cool. Morishita and Nakamura too.

Not a lot of Enter this episode, but plenty of Escape. I definitely enjoy her rivalry with Ryuji. Usually, rivalries are saved for the Red Rangers so it’s great to see one of the other members getting their own rival.

So overall, a fun and enjoyable episode even if it was filler.
