I voted “Mega”. While it was awesome seeing a Mighty Morphin Legendary Change (Gotta love the originals!), and since the Rangers had the MMPR Weapons, I was hoping to see the Power Blaster/Howling Cannon, my major complaint is that I believe this episode was aired out of order.
While watching the episode, I looked it up on the Power Rangers Wiki and I noticed the Gokaiger episode this was adapted from aired BEFORE Gokai Silver's first appearance (Which explains Orion's absence in this episode), meaning that technically, due to the source footage being pre-Gokai Silver, this episode should've aired BEFORE Silver Linings! Overall, apart from the previously mentioned chronological inaccuracy, it was a good episode, I just thought the love triangle between Jake, Levira, and the MOTW was a bit goofy.

It's also due to the source footage that there is no Howling Cannon/Power Blaster featured. They didn't use combined team weapons at all in Gokaiger that I remember. But frankly creating a new prop for a sequence like that is definitely too extravagant for the seemingly lackluster budget Saban used for this season.

I thought this episode was goofy in kind of a bad way. I'm not sure if that's just because I'm out of the age range for the show or if it was just that out there that it was incredibly weird.
I liked that it brought back Jake's soccer skills, and I liked that it's still continuing the Jake/Gia thing, but I really don't expect it to continue with any shipping moments for the rest of the show. At first I thought it was odd that Gia was paying more attention to Jake just because he was trying to show Invidious that he just needed to take the plunge with Levira, but that really is an attractive quality for some people. I've seen a lot of people say this was the best episode of Super Megaforce so far, but I have to say The Perfect Storm was the best so far. That one episode felt more like a Power Rangers episode than this one.

It was Super Mega...... AWFUL!!! Although I have to admit, that scene with the MOTD sitting in the pile of trash was pretty funny.

I saw the original Gokaiger episode. I just can't separate it from Super Megaforce. The scenes and the context in which they were originally from is so wrong to me.

I absolutely loved the episode, Jake was totally awesome. The parts at the end was absolutely brilliant I really hope Jake actually does get to go out with Gia. I thought it was a lot of fun honestly. I love these characters.

Well, I felt that this one had a weird feel to it. It just felt different. The whole Jake and Noah with the soccer tricks just feels like a budget-eater, but it does show some unmorphed, "let's do things normal before aliens and monsters destroy the world" action, so it's understandable. The longer-length morph sequences seemed like they were just padding the time frame, basically "chewing the clock". Invidious mentioned his and Levira's childhood, which is a unique move for modern day P.R., but the hokey heart and love effects recycled from Gokaiger just don't feel right here; they seem out of place. The Mighty Morphin' and Turbo changes were nice, but during the team Turbo attack, you could clearly see one of them was RIDING A BICYCLE! The scene with the trash pile, if I remember correctly, was not taken from the Gokaiger episode this was derived from, but actually from the second episode the Invidious character's Gokaiger counterpart appeared in. The woman he talks to, you don't see her mouth move. She has clearly been overdubbed. It's also a shame to see that the monster from the aforementioned second episode was not used here, as it would have helped settle the whole "WHERE IS ORION?" bit. Also, wasn't the spinning slash meant to be a play on RV Robo's finisher in the Gokaiger version? So why wasn't this attack at least called "Super Mega Spinout"? The "out of order" thing feels as though they were going to do this episode, but given what they did prior to "Power of Six", they had to hold off until this cluster of episodes we're now getting. Despite the flaws, and there are more than a few, it wasn't a terrible episode, but it could have used some polishing.
