Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
How can a robot be “middle-aged” and “be faster when he’s younger?” He’s a robot, he’ll be what he was built to be until he stops functioning

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
I don’t know who’s less competent here: Chargeman Ken, who’s gullible enough to fall for every outlandish Juralian death trap, or the Juralians, who still manage to,lose every time

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
Juralians, easily. Ken at least sometimes catches on to the Juralians' plots before they reveal themselves, and even when he doesn't, he's still able to win.
Juralians, on the other hand, have had numerous "why don't you just shoot him?" opportunities that they've never capitalized on, and as a result, they end up getting wrecked as soon as Ken gets his shit together.

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
Yeah, that's another point against the Juralians' basic competency. Crucifixion is nailing someone to a post and letting them slowly waste away in agony. What we saw there was clearly a simple burning at the stake. C'mon you guys, this is basic villainy 101!

"We're far more advanced than humanity! We'll easily conquer the world!"
"What about that kid Chargeman Ken who keeps thwarting us?"
"He's of no concern!"
"But he keeps killing us and setting back our invasion of the planet."
"NEVER MIND HIM. JUST DO WHAT I SAY."
Yeah. These guys are just... ugh.
"Can we go somewhere fun since it's a holiday?"
"Hey, let's go to the airport!"
... the airport. Seriously? That's where you wanna go to have fun on a holiday? You'd think they'd have better ways to pass the time in the future than sitting around watching planes take off and land.

Lord Devil King: “Chargeman Ken isn’t a threat! He’s just an impudent boy!”
Also Lord Devil King: “Curse you, Chargeman Ken! One day I’ll defeat you with my own hands!”
So, this little jerk whom Lord Devil King has repeatedly tried to have killed, is also not a threat at all, yet the Lord Devil King hates him enough to want Ken dead
The Juralians need to hold a recall election

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
Being one of the rank and file Juralians must suck. Your planet is dying, your leader is clearly insane, and you can't risk trying to defect, because if the psychotic kid who's been murdering the hell out of your invading race doesn't kill you first, your old comrades will track you down and do it instead.

Hope you guys liked your little break, because we're getting right back on the horse. That horse is chargeman ken's poor writing.

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
The moral is never trust old ladies getting harassed by thugs. It could be Juralians in disguise.
Also, it seems that they're actually adding sound effects on episodes now. I guess the show had SOME improvements (if only the writing and animation could be better )

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
I have to give them credit -- starting in medias res is pretty advanced for this show's storytelling.
Was calling for Sky Rod ever a requirement in the past? I seem to recall it just showing up unannounced in the plane hijacking episode.
Also, he can't transform in full sunlight, but as soon as heavy cloud cover moves in, he transforms!

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
Yep. That sure was a plan. Knock him out, kill him chain him to a rock on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean and hope he eventually dies of exposure.
His throat was parched, preventing him from saying "Charging Go!" Apparently if he can't speak, he can't transform, regardless of how much light there is.SlateSlabrock wrote: ↑Fri Jun 29, 2018 4:11 pmAlso, he can't transform in full sunlight, but as soon as heavy cloud cover moves in, he transforms!

They knocked him out in the city. They're an advanced species with high tech weaponry that's been literally used to completely disintegrate their victims without leaving behind any traces of them.
The Doylist answer to "Why don't they just shoot him and kill him once he's unconscious and unable to fight back?" is "Because then the series would be over and the 'villains' would have won. They need to be stupid so that Chargeman Ken can escape and murder them all save the day."
The Watsonian answer is

We've already seen that Ken can get shot point blank and not disintegrate, so maybe he's immune?

Ken is immortal. Ken cannot be destroyed.
Ken will rule us all. It was the Juralians who were trying to save us all.

As long as there's light there's Ken, so I suggest we destroy the sun.

But only when he's already transformed; presumably, if they shot him when he's untransformed, he'd still die.SlateSlabrock wrote: ↑Fri Jun 29, 2018 9:34 pmWe've already seen that Ken can get shot point blank and not disintegrate, so maybe he's immune?

If we throw Ken into the Marianas Trench, he might not be able to transform and thus the universe would be safe

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
I was right.
Also this plan makes even less sense than usual
and why did the delinquent have more storage units to his side despite being on a roof.

This is a quality show that teaches children not to go to an adult if someone is beating up your friends, instead go to another friend and have him get beat up too.

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
Add another counter to the “Ken gets owned” column (I’ve lost track )
The Juralian who beat up Ken is knocked off his motorcycle because he ran over a rock No wonder Ken always wins. He has deity-level plot armor and his enemies get foiled by inanimate objects when they aren’t busy being flash fried.

They adopted children out without doing any kind of background check to make sure the address was real Why go to the authorities, just go to Chargeman Ken, surely it must be a Juralian plot! And it is

"What a nice man!"
"Greenhead Mansion? But... I have green hair!"
Wait, didn't the belt shoot lasers last time he used it... like, 20 episodes ago?
edit: it shot electricity

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
That's one awkward ending. It's supposed to be a flashback I guess? But it looks more like the dog is fine then died somehow.
I like how the school bell doesn't move.
