Actor Shison Jun made a surprise appearance in episode 32 of the Super Sentai series "Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger," which aired on October 6th. In this episode, which was a collaboration with "Ressha Sentai ToQger" (2014-15), he played ToQ1/Light for the first time in about 10 years.
The new visual for "Bakujo Sentai Bunbunger" was released on August 25th, and ToQ1 appeared in the preview for episode 32, which was released last week on September 29th, which sparked a lot of excitement on social media with people wondering if his pre-transformation form would also appear, making it a pleasant surprise for fans.
In episode 32, ToQ1 suddenly appears on a Ressha when BunRed uses his imagination to rescue Bunbunger's friends who are in trouble because of the power of the Kumaju. He cooperates with Bunbunger to defeat the Kumaju. After the battle, Light detransformed and looked at Bunbunger, saying, "I can see it. I can see you guys making your dreams come true."
Shison, who co-starred with his "junior hero," commented, "It was only a short shoot, but it felt like I was back home and I had a lot of fun. I'm full of respect for everyone on the team who continues to make dreams come true. Thank you to everyone who loves ToQger. See you again somewhere."
To commemorate the collaboration with "Ressha Sentai ToQger," an audio commentary by ToQger scriptwriter Yasuko Kobayashi, director Nakazawa Shojiro, and producer Utsunomiya Takaaki is also available on the app service "Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club (TTFC)."
