Tensou Sentai Goseiger 07 – Farmer Agri

About time.

Because Agri lost a bet on some old man for the "possession" of Eri, he has no choice but to work for him just to free Eri out of the possession of the old man. Meanwhile, Avautar of the Research is busy researching on how he can conquer Earth for Warstar.


This episode is one of those filler episodes that give you this good feeling after watching it. Seeing Agri work hard for that old man after getting beaten by him while Eri is having fun is one fun sight to see. Agri working hard for the first time in the farm is really depressing. It is understandable why the old man keep on commanding him not to do this or not to that. Meanwhile, Avautar of the Research is busy studying how planet Earth works, once he has enough data about our planet, he finally lands on Earth and begins his attack.

Much to my surprise, when the Goseigers attacked him, he just stands still and waits for them to attack him again. It then makes sense after he revealed that the reason why he just stands there when the Goseigers attacked him. It is because he is gathering enough data to create a perfect counter attack on their next encounter with Avautar. He then leaves and Eri decides to continue her stay with the old man, much to Agri's disappointment. After Eri reminded him of their duties as Guardian Angels, Agri continues to help the old man.


As expected, he improved a lot after his try earlier in the episode. From how he tilled the soil to how he harvest the turnips, you can see how much he improved in just a few hours of farming and that is quite something. This also showed us that the old man is one great teacher. As for Eri, she saw a photo of the old man's wife and deducted that the reason why he is alone and why he wants to have Eri.

The next day, Eri revealed what she deducted about the old man's life. Agri begins pitying the life of the old man and finally asked what is inside the fence that the old man doesn’t want him to see. After understanding the sentimental value of the field, Agri is more determined to help the old man and that is quite admirable. By determined, he helped harvest the cabbages, which grew because of the power of the earth, the power of his tribe. This scene properly sums up the theme of the episode perfectly, the power of the Landick tribe that we will see on how Agri helped the old man.


After Avautar execute his research, it is time for the Goseigers to fight him, and yes, we see the fruits of his research about the Goseigers fighting skills. I just love that he first attacked the smart one, then the speedsters before the brutes as it reflects how he deal with problems. He first attacked the ones with the most advantage of turning the situation to their own advantage before attacking the heavy hitters.

Even if that is the case, much to Avautar's surprise, Agri was able to turn the situation around. This is one of the scenes in the series that actually put emphasis on the abilities of the Gosei Headder once attached on the Gosei Blaster. I mean, we see the Snake Bullet act like a snake as it wraps Avautar around before doing an all-out attack on him! Since this is an Agri focused episode featuring him doing farm work, we see him apply what he learned from farming in battle. From how he harvested a turnip and how he put his force in tilling the soil, we see him apply it in battle before Avautar he enlarged himself and fight the Goseigers in giant form.


As expected, Avautar did some research about GoseiGreat and attacked Gosei Snake first before everyone else, without the legs, the cannot for GoseiGreat... same goes if he attacked Gosei Shark, Gosei Dragon, Gosei Phoenix and Gosei Tiger. But it make sense if he attacked the legs first, without the legs, there is no point in forming GoseiGreat because the robot will look like some weird flying torso or something! Thankfully, Agri remembered the Landick Brothers card and used it for his offense.

At the end, they beat Avautar with Landick GoseiGreat, a perfect way to wrap up this Agri focused episode... or so I thought. As it turns out, the old man's wife is still alive and it is just Eri assuming it all along! Oh well, at least the episode ended in a happy note for the old man and his wife but as for Agri and Eri, they wanted Hyde to use his Memorywash card for them to forget what happened!
