Holy hell, they're really rolling out the Kyurangers, aren't they? Already getting Sky Blue next week.
Anyway, as for this episode. It was pretty good. I'm glad. It had a nice build up, we got some decent backstory on Xiao which details his tragic past, a good explanation for his arbitrary time limit while morphed, and a nice homage to Dairanger. I absolutely loved that shot with the Dragon Voyager. Byoutiful Also, I'm glad the Dragon Voyager got a whole fight to himself without transforming. Good job. Xiao's character does have some depth to it, but it's still not perfect. I feel his quirkiness just doesn't work. While the prime counterargument is that his quirky personality is to mask his emotions, I think that's giving Kyuranger a little too much credit. Still, I really found myself enjoying Xiao here. The reckless soldier that ends up getting his commander killed because he was too overzealous, now thrust into a position of command and watching as his soldiers rush into battle screaming out "LUCKY!!!" against some of the strongest assassins? Very nice. It's basically "What if we took Lucky, but made him a good character?" Speaking of, I still don't like Lucky. Even when he's not a prime focus of the episode, he still managed to sneak in 6 Yosha Luckies. Jesus... Spada also got a little gypped. I really felt he could've had some more development as a follow up to last episode, but oh well. I love the Zyuranger joke. I'm glad they addressed it and just decided to keep the name Kyuranger just because. My key issue with this episode was Xiao's wish. While I doubt he could've wished for Jark Matter to just be destroyed, I think they could've closed a plot hole by wording it so that more than just himself could become a Kyuranger. His wish could've basically opened the floodgates for other Skill/Weapon Kyutama to have the potential to become Transformation Kyutama.

I'm trying to drown his catchphrase out, but it's shoehorned in so poorly that each utterance is like a punch to the gut
Fair enough, concerning the dragon. Oh yeah, I really like the musket look of his staff in gun mode.

So if that system the commander created allows for skill Kyutamas to become change Kyutamas then does that mean 88 rangers is a possibility? I loved the part where Shou Ronbou changed the name to Uchu Sentai Jyuranger.

While it's a possibility, I don't think it's gonna happen.
It's been X years, and he still hasn't improved the system to work more than a few minutes, and now that his KyuTama is a transformation one, he doesn't really have a personal reason to continue working on it anymore.

This ep was my favorite one so far so much stuff going on finally have a reason to like this Sentai. Ryu Commander is a cool ranger he had a nice background story and it was build up perfectly with the team overall a really great ep. Next ep the little blue bear becomes a ranger XD. |

Anyone gets the Shenron/Dragonball references. Xiao is constantly breaking the fourth wall again. lol I'm still annoy by the fact Lucky manage convince Xiao instead of vice versa. |

I think you should just look into customizing RyuseiOh/Red Dragon Thunderzord into the Dragon Voyager before anticipating Bandai to release a premium version of it
