The Zenkaioh song is sung by the legendary duo that sang the Gorenger theme songs, Isao Sasaki and Mitsuko Horie, the duo whose names are also the same as Kaito's parents.

Man, Gaon's passive aggression towards his fellow robots was humorous! Like, that handpile where he put his on top of Juran's before quickly removing it and putting it under Zenkaizer's instead, it's a small detail that's easy to miss but it really shows how petty and hypocritical he is. He's even disrespectful towards non-Kikainoid robots like Secchan.
The rivalry between Juran and Gaon forces Zenkaizer to become the glue to literally hold Zenkai Oh together. It's very comedic, but I think Gaon's development will involve him becoming less prejudicial towards robots and realizing that his spite is misdirected. He'll need to learn to get along with the other three people on the team who aren't Kaito, after all. It's a little annoying how the middle part the OP keeps getting talked over. I want to hear the TV size theme without interruption.

Gotta say, this episode was actually pretty fun, i love that the villains themselves don't know everything about their own powers, that moment when Ijurude got shocked alongside everyone when the giant monster appeared was great.
It's a rare occasion when a villain in Super Sentai is just as shocked that the villain of the week actually becomes giant too. |

These episodes are quite the spectacle. I wonder if they'll be able to keep up the non-stop energy for the whole season.
I can't wait for the whole team to assemble. Kaito is going to have his hands full managing what appears to be 4 very quirky teammates.

Much better episode than last week. I do hope Gaon gets toned down a little bit, since while it did have it's humorous moments, it's definitely the type of gag that can get old very quickly if overused. Maybe he'll have a character arc about him growing to like his fellow Kikainoids. Who knows.
Action scenes were great, very fun to watch (And that little smooch between Gaon and Zyuran was adorable). Most definitely dug the retro styled song for the mech battle. Also enjoyed seeing the villains basically as confused as to what's going on as well. Also seems that while transformation is a free action, explaining how to transform isn't. Thank goodness the baddies are nice enough to wait

Also we got eye animation on Gaon! That's 2 for 2. Why do I care about something so minor...

There was this recent interview with Junko Komura and there is a section here that I thought was interesting
https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20210307-1782717/ translated via DeepL "--In the trailers and promotional videos for the movie, Zenkaiser/Kaito Goshikida, played by Kiita Komagine, seems to have a more cheerful, gentle, and passionate personality than the previous Red characters. There have been a lot of "Baka Red" characters in the past Super Sentai, who are hot-blooded but not in the least bit stupid, and Kaito is not that unusual. Mr. Shirakura asked me to make all the heroes in "Kiramager" rather "solid", so he wanted all the heroes in "Zenkaiger" to be "bad". So the image of the heroes may change completely from "Kiramager" The bit with Shirakura is translated a bit wonky, but I think it's something to the effect "since all the heroes Kiramager were solid, make the heroes in Zenkaiger rough" Thought this would be relevant to bring up, given how this episode introduced Gaon, what with his fondness for animals/humans and dislike of other Kikainoids/robots |

This show is just fun. The way that they're playing up how new all this sentai stuff is to all the characters, hero and villain alike, makes it feel new and exciting to me too. I especially like Ijirude (who I just realized is based on a microscope) is surprised by his own monsters. He's my favorite kind of mad scientist, the kind who'll just plug a power source into a minion without knowing what will happen, because hey, it's worth a try!
I hope Gaon gets over his dislike of machines and his fellow Kikainoids (it would be a good subject for a focus episode or two), but I do find his love for organic life cute. I feel sorry for Vroon, not only is he treated like scrap by his bosses, he also seems to be falling down and getting dizzy in the opening. Poor guy. And in the middle of all the comedy, there's a montage of people choking on poisonous spores. Talk about mood whiplash.
