This episode was fine, but I find myself perplexed by the new toys. Like...what exactly was the idea behind making a new toy to use with the first mecha, after the final combination has been achieved? Like, realistically, how much are we even going to see Zyuoh King Octopus? My hope would be never, because I think it's ugly as sin, but I fear they'll have some more contrived circumstances to get them to use it. And it's not even compatible with Wild, so it's just...the most random, overly specialized new thing. It just feels really silly at this point though. Like it would have made more sense to make a new weapon for Wild Tousai Dodeka King. You know...somehow...with its little giraffe/mole arms. Orrrrr, a new cube for....
Zyuoh Bird. Oh Zyuoh Bird. Why. Why is it so ugly. Who thought it'd be a good idea to have the orange Eagle recolor have both gold and blue as secondary colors? I want to like it but it's such a hideously colored suit. I understand why they wouldn't have wanted to just have it all black like the core five, but making the visor/chest print/glove and boot thingies different colors where they're the same on the other Zyuohgers is just a bad move. At best, the gold on the gloves and boots should have been blue as well. But even so, the orange and dark blue really does look like someone just messed around with Zyuoh Eagle's colors with photoshop or something. It just doesn't look good. And there's no Cube Bird to help him, so I guess during mecha fights he's just gonna...sit around? Who knows. Feel like they should have made Cube Condor orange or Zyuoh Bird purple. Maybe they'd be able to reuse it for the show. But eh, not that it really matters. Episode really was fine but the new stuff just doesn't please me aesthetically. I'm not a fan of Zyuohger's designs in a general sense, but these are just...gonna take even longer for me to get used to. It's a good thing I like the show as much as I do. |

So address some positives first. I really liked the interactions between Yamato and Misao. Yamato as a character works really well in quiet human moments, as does Misao when he isn't being used as a joke. Loved the talk between them.
Good stuff with Bard's character, still interested to know more about it. I think they're taking too long with too little information, but it looks like things are finally starting to unfold. Also enjoyed the MOW, they were ridiculously 90s and I loved it. Things I didn't like; Octopus. I mean bloody hell we're nearly at the end of the series and they're still introducing toys? This should have been waaaay earlier in the series and certainly before whale. Then we have Zyuoh Bird. See above. I'm all for Orange rangers but I gotta say I'm not a fan of the design. Even if it does make a degree of sense, the fact it's a repaint doesn't help as it just looks like a heavily sun damaged Zyuoh Eagle. I really do not understand why they're still introducing stuff now of all times. Well I do, it's to tell toys, but this is ludicrous. These shows have always been to sell toys, but Zyuohger has been quite something. I'd honestly go as far to say it's problematic and cynical in some regards. Still, this was a fine episode, it was enjoyable. But I really hope next episode gets things moving a lot more, and hopefully they'll be able to do some good character stuff with Bard. |

Eh, Zyuoh Bird appearing so late in the game is no different to Kamen Rider introducing repaint/retool suits at the last minute. Personally I think it adds a little more if there's still something to be revealed in the end game, otherwise you hit episode 35 and think "whelp, that's it then". It'd be different if introducing new things at this point was halting the story in any way, but going by this episode alone that seems to be the opposite its doing.

The episode was interesting, but god, Zyuoh Bird's colours don't mesh. And I like Ex-Aid's pink and green!

I honestly think the way they did Zyuoh Bird was extremely lazy. All they did was give him the same outfit as Zyouh Eagle and make it orange. Yes he's an avian, but did they have to use an eagle? There are so many other birds of prey. He could have had an osprey or a falcon.
Altho I like how there's secrets that even Trunk doesn't know about. |

Exactly. It would be weird if Yamato got his powers from an Eagle Zyuman and then the Zyuman himself was a completely different type of bird transformed.
