Anyone else remember the Star Trek TNG episode "The Loss" where Counselor Troi loses her only character trait, being empathic? I don't like that episode because I don't generally like Troi (unless her mother's in the episode) and all the episode did was make her whine the entire episode.
Kyuranger last week and this week is that episode, except worse because Kyuranger has nothing to fall back on. TNG at least had a neat sci-fi concept for the B plot and characters like Riker to give at least one really satisfying scene in the episode. Kyuranger has almost all 2-dimensional characters and no real strength to fall back on while Lucky is whiny about his Mary Sue powers. While I could tell that the scene where Garu punches Lucky was trying, it felt empty because Garu might as well not exist in most episodes. I feel that scene would've been better if Garu wasn't in it and Dumpling ripped Lucky a new one. Also, the lesson is undermined by the ending. I hate when shows do that. The only good thing I can say about this episode is the early mission they used to figure out the monster. It was smart, everyone followed orders, and there were no dumbass moments in that mission. AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME LUCKY ISN'T PRESENT. Intentional or not, that tells me the team works better without him. |

And Lucky is still the worst Ranger in this series. You can say what you want about Daigo or Takaharu, but they weren't this pathetic and weren't as annoying as Lucky after just one loss.
Oh boo hoo you lost once? You broke your lucky streak? Oh grow up you big baby! Did nobody teach you about moving on beyond your lose? Well I guess to him overcoming his 1 loss record was too much for him to handle! Oh, what's that? You have a sad backstory?! BIG DEAL! Every Ranger gets a sad backstory but guess what, they don't whine about it and they use it as their motivation to push their skills and powers to the limit! NOT brood away and get suicidal after one bad day! This was their chance, their one chance to redeem Lucky and make him someone we do care about and forgive him for all his idiotic quirks that we had to bear with, but it added nothing to help with this situation and made it worse. In other stuff to complain about, the new combination was lame and unimpressive. And they changed the dance as well... |

Ryutei KyurenOh is thoroughly disappointing.
Much like this series. They didn't even try to make it look like RyuteiOh was attached to the back. Jeez...And I thought Super LiveRobo's combination sequence was phoned in. Episode itself was...Mediocre. Obviously Lucky's luck comes from his enthusiasm (I think I called it, but, like I said, it was obvious). I still don't care for his backstory because it's not pertinent to the situation. Garu was kind of right. He loses one fight and goes full on PTSD? If this series was deeper, it would be something worth noting (Having a full meltdown once something doesn't go your way? A better show could have that be a full character arc. I'm doubtful this show would bring that up again). As for the backstory itself, meh. It's nothing special. I'm sure it'll be expanded on. Let's get into some things I did like. The use of Gemini was fun. It was also a fucking nightmare, but I liked the idea. I liked that Ikagen wasn't beaten in a one on one duel with Lucky. I liked that it took all 11 rangers (I also liked him lampshading that 11 on 1 isn't exactly a fair fight ) I also liked the bit of a twist that all the suckers were eyes, and not just the big obvious crystals. Was neat. Anyway, I hate Lucky. Just because you're giving the character depth doesn't mean I'll automatically like him. You gotta make him likable, too. Anyway, it seems we're trading out one interesting villain for another, so that's good, at least. Ryutei KyurenOh.....I mean...what the heck is it doing behind the other mecha? Seriously, where...where is that linkage going? I don't want to know where it's shoving it's globes. Also, I would be dead from alcohol poisoning from the Yossha Lucky in this episode alone. And now I can go back to not caring about why he screams it every time. That's called Tourettes, not being lucky. Next week, less caring about Stinger.

One does not simply pelvic thrust when children are present.

Meanwhile girls must simply pelvic thrust or be fired. Damn. RIP Hammy, she did a wrestling move before Champ. She probably won't be missed

My brain obviously isn't functioning properly because I'm still not understanding why you felt the need to say Rest In Peace. Honestly, my brain is mush right now.

Ryutei Kyuren Oh, wow I do not like that name. Though this does make me look forward to the BOA version where the zord buider pegs should help fix it. Also something must be wrong with my mind because when Garu said won me over to Lucky, I got this weird thought for a GaruxLucky yaoi. It is bad when you make Takahara good.
