Ryusoulger isn't my favorite of all time, but I do owe a lot to this show for changing my perspective of what Super Sentai can be. Like, yeah, at the time all I could focus on was how, on the surface, it looked like Kyoryuger 2.0. and damn, I really didn't want another Kyoryuger. Not at all. I had a pessimistic attitude towards Ryusoulger as the upcoming Sentai, expecting that same disappointment I experienced before. I realize now that I was so wrong for thinking that way, as Ryusoulger instead turned out to be a surprisingly subversive and revolutionary installment of the franchise and an awesome way to end the Heisei Era! One of Ryusoulger's recurring themes is not judging a book by its cover, figuratively speaking, a trap I had fallen in to before the show even started.
Even though the show isn't my favorite, I'm pretty sure that Koh has become my favorite Red Ranger, for many of the same reasons I praise Juyong, as a motivational leader who understands the strength of his comrades and doesn't try and carry them on his own. Like that scene in Dinosaur Panic where Koh is fighting Gaisorg on the ground, while he trusts the others with the important job of destroying the meteor flying towards Earth. While I'm giving all this praise, Dinosaur Panic might be a contender my favorite Sentai summer movie, it's an awesome story with strong emotions, thrilling action and pretty much everything you could want from a Sentai movie, except for an explanation for how meteor fragments can create time portals to extremely specific destinations, but who cares about that little plot hole when it's such an awesome movie, right?

right
into the premiere feels so so much cooler having just watched it again than if I were struggling to remember it after like two years.
You know, I totally forgot that Master's Soul Episode 3 aired sometime around Christmas, so thanks for reminding me to catch up with that.
And yeah, I agree. Shimo really captured the essence of what the show was about and I think she's earned a future head writer role for sure. As much as I loved Ryusoulger, it left me with very little information about the Masters, specifically Red and Blue. So I'm glad this special exists to make them less like part of some obscure lore and more like actual characters with their own personal problems and worries about their students. It also has Matsuda Kenji, so that's pretty awesome as well!

Wiserue is up there with my favorite Sentai villains as well. He's a great source of entertainment for sure!

The most irritating thing about Canalo, other than his insecurity about being single, is how he virtually always joins the team's swordpile with his gun, even though he totally has a sword. Hopefully Androzani will screencap the rare exception to that in his Kiramager VS Ryusoulger review.
