About 2.5 feet long, point to hilt. Shorter or longer if you think, I actually am not sure. Looking at the toy I ... can't find measurements. The grappling line launches the blade that can stick into things and swing off of it. He can wave it around to attack in circles around him but it's pretty difficult to do so properly, he usually leaves that to Luka. Easy to get tangled and then you're in trouble. It extends maybe fifteen feet in an effective weapon range, probably much more than that in non-combat applications. He just presses a button on the hilt to launch it, so pretty quickly. Retracting it is also just a button press but it takes a moment to bring in the full line. And yeah, I should have put Ranged on it, I thought I had sorry.

It fires bursts of three if he holds down the trigger.

"can shock those wrapped in it"
>You'll need to explain more. Does it just do "electric" damage to people it hits? Or does it paralyse them a bit? Etc. Also, if you want to be able to use your whip to trap someone, that'd cost another 300 OM (300 for hitting, 300 for trapping).
>I'd advise you come back to this move sometime in the future.
I understand the sentiment, but being AkaRanger doesn't make him any stronger and I'm going to have about 35+ of these eventually, with little variation between them except it changes what I look like and my fighting style/weapons. I'm not significantly stronger in any way, but it does give me a flexibility that other sentai teams don't have. I threw in the defensive ability since that is the only mechanical advantage I could think of to justify it. It's not worth the powerup. The appearance is as shown in that picture, I look like a Power Ranger from the 70's with a cape and a visor that doesn't make sense to be visible but somehow it is. Rounded helmet. Yes, the main things it does is shift his weapons and lets him blunt one major attack at the cost of the form. The drawback to the electric whip is just that it takes a moment to draw it (from my visor of all places) and then it's a bit slow to wield, it's thick and a bit ungainly. It does electric damage when it hits. I'll not do any sort of grapple with it, just hit and shock. No paralysis. I thank you for your advice but I really think if you're okay with how I've done this mechanically I want to keep it, I have other ideas for higher level forms (my giant robot!) and believe me, this is not my last Gokai Change move.

>How big is the energy wave, roughly?
Judging by the gif I'd say it's about three feet long and it can only target one opponent.
