I loved the first half of this episode. A genuinely hilarious opening act and Nada transforming was so wholesome.
... Why did they have to murder him though? I really don’t get it. If they wanted the character gone then let him leave on that training mission of his. Why was it necessary that this particular guy bites the dust so the Red can get his power-up? I'm baffled by how quickly this episode turned from "Hell yeah!" to "Why though?". RIP Nada, you were my favorite. But you had to die so that Canalo can get a dozen more episodes of chasing a potential wife only to find out it won’t work out in the end. We really do need more of those, they are so original and funny every single time. Last edited by Kiwami; 11-11-2019 at 02:20 PM.. |

Y'all are wild.
This episode was great. It was shocking, emotional, well-acted, exciting... and you can really tell the chief director of this series is the same guy behind the Build ep where the Three Crows were killed. Was Nada's death sudden? Was it upsetting? Yes and yes. But that was like, literally the whole point. |

Except Build had, y'know, an actual script and a story which worked. This show doesn't.

What I like about this episode: Gaiosrg and Max Ryusoul Red transformations. So AWESOME! Esepcially the parts where translucent armor pieces slowly shifted upwards before putting themselves on the wearer. I rewatched watched it like a thousand times.
What I didn't like about this episode: Nada's death. I have nothing against tragic death scenes, but this wasn't tragic. It felt like a joke. The fact that it became Ryusoul Red's upgrade is just insulting to Nada's memory. What happened to the whole "we look out for each other and fight together" shtick? No, Nada's whole 'redemption' arc was really just a 'Max Ryusoul Red prologue' arc. Not cool. SO NOT COOL. To put the depraved cherry on top of this toy shill sundae, HieHie Soul's debut hasn;t even been a month ago. It was TWO. FREAKING. WEEKS AGO. At least wait for another week or month! What killed Nada was not the Druidons, but the toy industry. Last edited by gashatfreak; 11-11-2019 at 10:16 PM.. |

In a show like Super Sentai, people are always getting trapped in evil, dangerous pocket dimensions, and they always get free somehow. Nada sacrificing himself so quickly, for stakes we’ve seen beaten like hundreds of times before — multiple times in this very series — did feel a little insane. They needed to build up the new Druidon’s danger levels, and have the team literally on the verge of dying after a prolonged hardcore battle, in order for a sacrifice like that to feel earned. So on that level, it’s definitely flawed. But... I still liked it. I like how Nada dying actually made the power up feel like it meant something. I liked that they swung for the fences. It was a bold choice, in a show that makes a lot of bold choices... that maybe don’t always feel earned. |

For now. Probably going to be revived in the finale. Which is a shame because actually seeing the Gaisorg suit working alongside Ryusoulgers was very cool.

are they doing this on purpose? All dino sentai since Zyu have at least have 1 ranger kicking the bucket...
I hope Nada's character was popular enough to get him resurrected... They could...I don't know...have Nada just lend Kou the Gaisorg armor when he needs to go MAX...and he uses the armor when not...but nooo, lets kill another dino sentai ranger.. |

Nada's death is a pretty explicit shout out to Zyuranger, specifically. The shot compositions from the scene where Nada gives Koh his Gaisoulg armor mirror almost exactly the shots from the scene where a dying Burai gives his shield and dagger to Geki. I thought it was a cool homage. Apparently, YMMV. Cause that would be sooo dramatic... |

The overall fact he died is not really my issue, it was how it was done, it felt like we just wasted months getting to know a character for no other reason then KOU NEEDS ANOTHER SUIT ! |
