It may be the worst red ranger by our standards but its what the kids want. Also, the whole being positive to bring oneself luck isn't all that absurd. It's a common practice in Wicca that if one keeps a positive vibe about them then positive things will happen. Same goes for negative. And that's kind of what these episodes have been about. And finally, anyone else notice that they finally changed the ending dance to include Kotaro and Xiao, as well as actually changed part of the dance itself?

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. Takatora's actor is back, so he might be able to make the show better along with Stinger. Btw I don't think Green Sai and Black Bison was meant to be in the show, but I guess they needed to sell more merch at the last second and come up with the gimmick of being the first sentai show to combine two humanoid robo together. |

The way some folks were complaining about this episode while watching the raw version, I thought I was in for the episode that would make me drop the show. But it turned out to be pretty enjoyable.
I'm disappointed that Ikagen is gone, but I'm interested in seeing what Scorpio brings to the table. Hopefully, it's more episodes with the inner workings of Jark Matter as the focus. There hasn't been one since Stinger joined the group. As for Lucky, I never really disliked him so I don't feel that bothered about this and the last episode being his focus episodes. However, I would like it very much if some of the others could get developed without him taking over some of their focus episodes. As far as his backstory goes, it's existence is at least somewhat necessary since Ikagen triggering him by calling him "unlucky" wouldn't have made much sense otherwise. It's not deep, but I don't exactly go looking for depth in toy commercials. Speaking of toys though, my god is RyuteiKyurenOh such a lazy design. It's such a shame that they followed up such a cool, if short, rainy mecha fight with that. |

Well I enjoyed Lucky this episode. Felt like more of a character, rather than a "Yossha Lucky" dispenser (with an admit-ably cool sword, so he at least had me want to see him in action regularly just for that).
But yeah, RyuteiKyurenOh was a disappointment. Also, I'm not that concerned with the missing Pelvic Thrust. The new motion is okay in it's place.

Xiao's proving to be an excellent Ranger, in hindsight, probably the best of the show despite how great Naga is. I got my hopes up and thought Garu would get some development during this but Nope!
Infinite Luckys sounds like a personification of hell, but I like it, shows that Lucky does have genuinely good moments. I also like his new take on saying YOSHA LUCKY too. Hell, Lucky's growing on me in this episode surprisingly enough with his "You're not just fighting 11 Kyurangers" speech too. Though the last 'all team' All Star Crash looked better. I also like how RyuteiOh has Orange and SkyBlue, feels fitting. But yeah, Ryutei Kyuren Oh sucks Scorpio REALLY should change things up KYUTAMA DANCING DOESN'T DO ANY AIR HUMPS I'M NO LONGER WATCHING THE ED ANYMORE

When the only question you ask yourself after watching this is why they changed the ending dance you know the episode did absolutely nothing for you.
And that's pretty much where I am right now to be honest. |

I really want to like this series. But all because of one ranger who gets, all the focus, I'm seriously beginning to lose my enthusiasm. It's such a shame considering this series had characters like Balance, Naga, Raptor 238 and Kureshima Takatora. And no, Licky's backstory doesn't redeem him at all.
Ryuusei Kyuuren-oh sucks. An infinite amount of Luckys sounds like a horrible idea, even if it ultimately ended up working. Next episode features Stinger, Scorpio and Champ which is nice. |

I replayed the portion where Garu punches Lucky way too many times man if someone could make a gif of that or Xiao gut punching Lucky I would be set.

I think that one was OK, expected it to be much worse at first.
Lucky multiplying the gemini kyutama attack with the following choir of yosha ruckys was so cheesy that I kinda found it funny again. |

Dude, that's low. There's a gif with Xiao gutpunching Lucky, that's even better!
