Kiwami, it's been 48 episodes. You should know by now that Ryusoulger only pursues ideas when it feels like it, and never at the right time.
Wyzul and Kreon really are the best of the best, though. Actually, Wyzul was this close to being my pick for best toku villain of 2019, if not for Tregear. Anyone who's seen Ultraman Taiga will understand that nobody could stack up to that kind of competition, so the fact Wyzul got as close as he did should tell you something.

I didn't like the finale that much, but was glad it was over. As much as I liked the Canalo looking for a wife episodes, there were too many similar minasaur of the week boring episodes. LuPat was one of my favorite Sentai since gokaiger so it was going to always be tough to beat, but I didn't expect this many snoozer episodes. If Kreon never came to earth, they would have never had to find the dinoknights which then lead to eras getting stronger because the dinoknights in the calibur would have been stronger or at least that seems logical to the explanation of how weak it became and how it took them to go back into the sword to make it stronger for that last effort that almost worked for the killshot. It was still better than kyuranger which had some characters that I liked but way too many that I really disliked. |

I thought it was pretty good as a finale although flawed, probably best for the emotional stuff if anything.
Well, my final thoughts are that Ryusoulger is not going to be that high on a ''favourites of the decade'' list, it was quite average, but I did at least prefer it to Kyoryuger, I mean although I don't really hate any sentai I always found that an overly manufactured show that felt like it was trying too hard to be a certain way. My favourite 3 of the 2010s were Gokaiger,Toqger and Kyuranger, coiincidentally one for three parts of the decade! |

Great finale. I don't know that Ryusoulger will ever be among my favorite Sentai, but this is definitely one of my favorite Sentai finales. I've tended to stereotype them as disappointing, so I'm delighted we've gotten a couple of strong ends in a row.
The mecha stuff was too brief, but still managed to call back a little to the show's early mecha sequences. Pretty much everything until the denouement worked well for me. The denouement was... vague. Certainly the weakest element of the episode and an indicator about what didn't really work in the series: our core characters. Most of them just weren't that well-defined, so their send-offs didn't resonate. The little hint at Nada toward the end was nice; it would have been more typical of Sentai for him to have been forgotten. It was a little odd the Kishiryuu weren't returned by the end of the episode. Their whole bit is that they gave up their freedom to bind Heras, so given that Heras was destroyed, it's a little puzzling they didn't pop right back up. I don't *hate* that element because it lends to the sacrifice theme of these final episodes. I wonder if I'd have liked the Ui bit more if I hadn't known about the show's background goings-on. The handoff was... uninspired. Surprising. I'll also say this for the episode: while many Sentai finales put a seemingly permanent end on the series only to have that walked back for the inevitable post-series movies, this one clearly left narrative threads open for the almost-certain vs. Kiramager movie. LOVED that the episode didn't fixate entirely on the red hero. More of this from Sentai, please. |

Hasbro will adapt this series next year in 2021. I'm curious to see if they'll keep the fantasy theme.

I really liked the last episode. The final fight was well done and i found it interesting that Koh was not fighting together with the others. For a short moment i even had my doubts if he would be brought back.
I would have liked to have a longer Mecha Battle but it was pretty good regardless. The epilogue part felt a bit rushed and confusing. Why did Asuna of all people make a school? It was kind of out of nowhere. Also i would have loved for Canalo to get married in the epilogue. Well maybe in a future movie we will see him with his kids or something. I think Ryusoulger had some great episodes before the end and overall i really enjoyed the series. I liked the characters and really loved the toys. Sadly the pacing of the story was not consistent but it was way better then Lupat. I don't really know where i would put Ryusoulger in my Sentai ranking but i think it is my favourite Dinosaur Sentai (haven't completely watched Zyuranger yet though). |

So after binging the final arc. I can say the show ended well and most importantly, it made me not hate the series as a whole. It is a very good finale arc. The biggest highlight has got to be the fact that the Red Ranger sits out the final fight, maybe they finally realized that Super Sentai isn't 'Red Ranger and his Cheerleaders'?
Either way, I am glad. Sure you could argue that Koh is responsible for Eras' defeat. But the the most important part is that, Koh doesn't hog the spotlight all to himself. This is one of the few strenghs of Ryusoulger: Despite them still trying to focus on Red Ranger as much as possible, there is a strong emphasis on the Ryusoulgers as a team, which is what Sentai should always be. Does this mean that Ryusoulger is a great series? Well I wouldn't really say so. The series' biggest sin is that it's painfully safe, which makes sense because them rehashing dinosaurs again shows that they are playing it safe. But that's not the whole problem. Despite getting a fresh new writer, hoping to replicate the success that Kamen Rider did, RyuSoul's weakest aspect is the writing. When it's good, it's amazing. But most of the time, it's mediocre. But the good thing is, it's not painfully bad, even if there are glaring problems such as the how the Masters seem pointless except Master Black, and how Nada was killed quickly before he even got a chance to truly shine as the 7th Ryusoulger. Or hell, even Ryusoul Brown being a 1 time exclusive. Despite the flaws, I can safely say I enjoyed Ryusoulger. It may not be the best, but after years of bitching about Sentai's quality, it's refreshing to have one where I didn't hate. Here's hoping the Power Rangers adaptation is able to do the suits and designs even more justice, but if Beast Morphers is the status quo, I wouldn't hold my breath. Or rather, Power Rangers TV show will be dead to me.
