The Truth About Zaido on Wikipedia
Gallian lost his parents, barrio folks and the entire baranggay of Kukurukuku because of Le-ar’s evil conquests and was then adopted by the Galactic Farce. He has run-of-the-mill skills in combat because he has heroin in the blood. As Blue-baby Zaido, head of the Zaido, he was tasked to look for other Zaido all over the world to entice them to fight supposedly for the safety of the universe, but in fact to solve a problem he has to solve all by himself.
Gone are the days when Philippine TV went unchallenged by passive audiences. Reader Shishiyo Makoto creatively vandalized the Wikipedia entry on GMA 7’s Shaider ripoff Zaido, with hilarious results. Check out the truth about Zaido on Wikipedia.
GMA clearly lives in an analog dreamland, wishing for the days when “audience feedback” was filtered through “ratings” paraded by marketers. Welcome to the new digital reality, where any joker with an Internet connection can have a persistent public voice.

They requested the Wikipedia admin to disable my account and branded me as a vandal so I won’t get my hands to clean them off. Does Wikipedia uphold the freedom of speech as guaranteed by the first amendment? Crap!!!
I wrote on Skirmisher about this, check it out:

LOL! my first ever screen/username on the intarwebs is shishio_makoto :~)
btw mike… i’ll be sending the draft of our zaido review to your email… dagdagan mo nalang
whoah, ang tapang mo naman,pero natatakot ako para sa yo,yngat k lng sa mga kapusong die hard sa zaido,good luck,may the spirit of Hiroshi tsuburuya protect you from the kapusos
Yeah, talk about pinoys and their hate relationship with the first amendment… or lack of adherance thereof. I’ve read stuff like you can’t poke light fun at the former president, now we can’t poke fun at the most whored out mainstream japanese tv-ripoff because corporate suits and its umbilical corded fans will lash back at the real fans who care?
Maybe we can get this out in youtube form? I loved the revisions… its the absolute pinoy truth!
Sir Mike, thanks for preserving the “unbiased” and “real” Wiki entry of Zaido. How didja do it? Galeeeng! As for those die hard b*strds, we’re prepared for them (the only question is, are they prepared for us?) and besides, who cares?
Nakakatuwa ang Google, when you search for “zaido” ang top result is about “Pulis Pangkalokohan”! And dig this: “This is a rip off to the Japanese Metal Hero Shaider.” Nakuha pala ng Google yung wacky version natin! Hehehe!!!
Another proof as to why Wikipedia is NOT a recognized valid source for researches and papers. It can be edited by everyone who has enough free time in his/her hands.

Yeah, search ‘Pulis pangkalokohan’ on google and you get shishiyo’s edited version.
BTW, the original wiki zaido article is HEAVILY biased also by the fact that the authors are GMA7 viewers.
A lot of Wikipedia pages about shows have a section called Reactions, Controversies, or Criticism. Why doesn’t the Zaido page have one?

I don’t think they need to, we’ve been doing it for them.
Yeah, come to think of it, para ngang ripoff na talaga sya ng original storyline parang remake lang na iniba ng names would you guys agree?
even the costumes ripoff din sa ibang characters ng ibang show like Streetfighter (M.Bison) lol. pati yung sign, star trek ba yan?
I’ve read the permission that TOEI had given GMA7, sabi nila direct descendant, meaning to say, it has STILL all the COPYRIGHT of all the original names nung hindi nasagasaan ng descendants nya and whatnot(eg: fuuma).
Well I guess ganto lang tlaga gumawa ng shows ang GMA7, total ripoff, iba lang ang names. sheeesh! maraming salamat GMA7 for giving the PHILIPPINE TELEVISION a bad REPUTATION.
A word of advice sa mga writers ng GMA7: alam nyo naman siguro ang patakaran sa COPYRIGHTS ndi ba? BE ORIGINAL
Sa mga Character/Costume/Weapon at Set Designers:
Diba ng management nyo, number 1 at magaling kayo? ba’t simpleng designs lang e, halatang cardboard at rubber parin?, Well-Renouned ang Shaider, (at kung makikita nyo 80’s pa yan) sana manlang mas pinakitaan nyo na nasa 2k na tayo. sheesh parang ung mga design nyo e low budget masyado e.
and lastly para sa Visual Effects at 3d renderers ng GMA7:
The visual effects are pretty rusty, parang kinopy paste lang yung effect, hindi nyo manlang blinur or naglagay ng glow effect kase kitangkita yung mga pixel. for the 3d models, put some lighting at animation naman, e parang nakasabit lang sa string tapos gumagalaw e, yung pagrender ng color ayos na pero yung lighting e parang stationary lang. gumagalaw ung model nyo diba? put some effort naman.
Yun lang po! sana naman GMA7 stop BRAGGING, kase puro kayo salita pero wala namang LAMAN. and like i’ve said before. stop RIPPING OFF other shows/series, be ORIGINAL!
peace!
Honestly, both GMA and ABS can serve us shit for shows and majority of the Philippine populace would be happy as fuck to welcome them with open mouths
So, who is it really to blame? This is business and as long as people still buy into these horse-shit shows then theres really none to stop them..
Philippine TV is dying and they know it hence the IPOs capitalizing on whatever they can. They dont give a rats ass on Filipino TV or Filipino reputation for that matter so yea we’re in for a world of shame
call them rip off
call them whatever you want
do they care? lol no
So if you want em stopped dont support their shows plz
The truth really hurta… anybody knows that…. kawawang mga kapuso…..
Oh look, all criticisms removed from Wikipedia without explanation.
Oh look, removed again. Seems they want “references”.
They’re becoming quite lax and much more receptive. We just have to appear much more scholarly and bash Zaido the professional way…
Nang MAKITA NG BUONG MUNDO KUNG PAANONG MANG-INSULTO NG TOKUSATSU ANG MGA TAGASYETENG KALABAW!!
My first time here. Actually, I’m here to bash that freaking show (Zaido) to my fullest.
“Reviews” would indeed tell that they have those ratings and such. If you’re going to check some of the phpBB community forums (where Filipinos are around), you’ll see that show get a real beating.
Also, I pity some of the kids here being mislead by that TV station. They would say “Shaider” is the grandfather of the Zaidos (what the?). I beg to differ, though, but to no avail.
It’s sad that Filipinos will truly be branded as genuine imitators, as evident from their TV shows.
I’ll be glad if there yould be a way to establish contact with Toei (Japan or Philippines) and make a formal protest against that show.
Well I’m not surprised that there had been many criticisms about this ZAIDO: Pulis Pankalokohan. Obviously the 80’s kids (now who may be the working class) have a lot to say about this parody pretending to be an official sequel to the well-loved space sheriff series. I thank the internet for letting Shaider fans to have an opportunity to shout out their dismay to this blasphemous attempt to imitate a good show.
I have visited a lot of internet forums regarding on this rip-off, and a hell-of-a-war have I seen. Many toku fans have made good and systematized form of reviews for ZAIDO, however they have been attacked by devout fans of GMA 7 who were blinded enough by the bulging “speys soots” of the main cast.
I can’t tell anymore any valuable criticisms of the show, since they have been said and written already by fellow filipinos who are intellectual enough who make constructive attack on a fag-infested show. I plead to these two networks, not to overproduce low-quality shows, with money-driven ratings.
Guys, I’m planning to put up a “blogspot.com” space to gather support for cancellation of the show. I want to gather points, facts, evidences and educated reasons from you, why should we remove this drama (tokwa not toku) series out of Phil. tv, and let the TOEI people be aware of this sacrilege through a formal letter. I’m planning to name that blog account “GMA loves ZTE” as in GMA 7 love Zaido’s Trash Entertainment. Just key it in blogspot.com thanks.
Ultramon, I know that this war is far from over esp. with ABS planning to come up of their own Toku show (some say it’s MaskMan). I’ve prepared myself should any Pro-Zaido come and criticize me and those who share the same sentiments against the crappy show called Zaido but so far, no Pro-Zaido had come and challenged my arguments.
By the way, the people I met in this forum and I agreed to form a group called The Order of Tokusatsu Fans of the Philippines in our aim to unite all Toku fans and to inform the public what quality Toku shows really are. Here’s a link of our page at Multiply which unfortunately have to be abandoned by the end of November because we’ll be moving it to MySpace (The reason is Multiply just inked a deal with ABS CBN and we felt that keeping our HQ at Multiply will compromise our aim not to have inclinations with local TV networks):

how add the profile. I don’t know the email add or last name to use
Sana ginawa na lang ni Shishiyo na Zaido : Pulis PangKAGAGUHAN. Mas ok pa yun.
Huwag na kayong magtaka kung ma-ban kayo sa Wikipedia. Puro mga obese na Kano ang maimpluwensiya dun, plus may mga sipsip tayong mga kababayan na kumakapit sa taba nnung mga Kano.
