I thought it was Go-on Silver that had a health problem for a short period of time? Or was there news that I missed

ShinkenRed’s actor recently came down with pneumonia, forcing him to cancel some appearances for the press junket for the upcoming Gatchaman film.

they say that asians are among the healthiest people in the world, the sentai industry may very well be jinxed with weak bodied actors and actresses who may not have the stamina to keep up with the work they do. i would say among the super sentai the 6 gokaigers were the healthiest and the most able bodied, followed by the go-busters and the current team. yumi went through alot, tori matsuzaka went through a deadly disease and won, and now the first akiba blue got hit by a taxi, i pray and hope she does not die of it. i think the second one has not suffered misfortune yet, as she is a teenager and is young enough to learn from her sempai’s misfortunes.
