Granted, the combination itself isn't treated with a whole lot of fanfare, but the context of this being the end of a huge story arc, and the fact that we saw this thing getting assembled bit by bit over the course of said arc, give it a huge impact anyway. It's also just a plain cool robot that seems to have an easier time moving around than Muteki Shogun, supporting a theory that's been rattling around in my brain ever since the Jusho Fighters showed up out of nowhere. I think the original Jusho and Muteki Shogun ended up being
way
too bulky as suits, and the show was kind of desperate to get rid of them. Obviously new mechs = new merch, too, but the Fighters were such a weirdly specific, redundant concept (robot guys but... still just robot guys!) it wouldn't surprise me if part of their creation was the staff on the show wanting something slimmer to work with. It would definitely explain why so many of Muteki Shogun's appearances were almost nothing but stock footage if they straight up didn't want to film new material for him whenever it could be avoided. Even Super Muteki Shogun is largely shown standing in place.
Ah, Kakure Daishogun, the mech that I felt should have been the Kakuranger's default boy. Oh well, it's still used to great effect here, and gives the ninjas a proper speedy mecha (Something that the other ninja themed seasons would once again forget to do).
But don't worry about the show getting too heavy. You're on your way to meeting Ninjaman
