That's why each episode is part one, part two, part three, part four, because they just broke it up.

Another live action that I think you could point to in terms of video game mechanics, not based on video games per se, but based around them, would be the Denji Sentai Mega Ranger, which we would know here in the States as Power Rangers in space, which is kind of funny because in Japan, it's based off of cyberspace and digital technology, and we translated that to space because...

They're like the same thing, right? You know, it's fine.

It's reasons.

basically right i think that they saw the like high school video game setting and were like what do we do with that put it in space screw it um but yeah they all have like a technological theme which is why when they transform uh their helmets have this circular cutout in it and you can see different technologies flash across the screen when they morph which I find very interesting.

Their vehicles are the cyber sliders, the cool hover skateboard-looking things.

But it's very interesting to me that even Japan at the time for live action was like, what are the kids into? Technology, obviously.

RPG mechanics are a huge help.
