Turns out this was not, in fact, forgotten by the Powers That B(-Daman):

I feel like the timing of legato's subbing project was like someone waiting uncomfortably long to be absolutely sure it's safe to cross the street, only to take one step onto the asphalt and get completely bodied by a Tesla.  

(I do hope the subbing project for V will continue, though, since even with renewed promotion in Japan I highly doubt we'll ever get any official translations/localizations.)

EDIT: Oops, pretend I posted this in Entertainment Talk, I guess...

Huh. Well color me surprised! It's good these shows are being made available, considering how difficult it is to obtain the VHS tapes. I wonder if the quality of the episodes are better than the rips floating around out there? I'll have to see if there's a way to view these.

As for now, the subbing will continue. Unless something magic happens and they appear subbed out of nowhere, we will continue along.

A fellow user has ripped the Bakugaiden episodes from one of those streaming services. Will keep a look out for Bakugaiden V since there does not appear to be a link just yet.
