Why are people lumping in Black with Green? Green was the one treating the whole thing as a game, basically making the situation "Can the other Ryusoulgers beat the Minosaur before it grows giant?"
Black was just pragmatic, pulling a Spock on us, and his argument is fair. Is one person's life worth more than thousands? Just because they're together doesn't make Black as big of an asshole as Green was acting.

I'm glad the pacing was a little slower than the first two episodes and that it wasn't red-centric. Asuna got a big role this episode and Melt had a small sub-plot with his Kishiryu. It's nice that they are giving the Kishiryu's distinct personalities too.
The episode dealt with some serious subject matter, with Ui wanting to commit suicide to stop the Minasaur. Pretty touching scene but could have come later in the show when we've spent more time with her and it would be more impactful. I love that Banba and Towa are almost antagonistic and are willing to kill a human just to stop the growth of a Minasaur. That, and their effectiveness as a team is greater than that of Red, Blue and Pink. So I hope they continue to have that kind of individuality even after joining the team later on. |

This episode really tries to flip many tropes, eh?
First they thoroughly sidelined red early on IN THE THIRD EPISODE of the series Then then right away shows that Towa belongs to villain side of the story more than on good-side. Chaotic Neutral and all that. Bamba's a Lawful Neutral I suppose. Then the blue ranger all of sudden feels he is not connecting to his mecha but not totally showing it. If only he has the opportunity TO TRY talking to his mecha heartfeltly the episode could be better. Then I still don't feel the attraction of the pink ranger. Usually they have some hooks that attract me, whether their physique or their mannerism. This pink is just all over the place. Then the idea of suicide. Ugh. It's like the writers are in a hurry for something and keeps on coming with some plot shortcuts. |

So, after having watched it, I can already say I hate Green and that's gonna be hard to change. He just rubs me the wrong way, and being so cheerful with murder (justified, but still murder) crosses a line for me. Black's close, but at least he seemed to be taking it seriously. Unless they bring this up again, and do some kind of "Green and Black apologise for being serial killers", expect to see me snarking at the pair a lot.
Other than that, this episode almost feels like it's coming in way too early. We barely know Ui right now, so to do this whole episode that centres around the bond between her and the Ryuusoulgers, it doesn't come off as strong as it should. Some of her backstory, interactions with the cast, anything beforehand would have fleshed this out, but of course, none of that has happened yet. I'm not even gonna mention the suicide stuff, because that's some deep subtext I don't wannt mess with yet. Add in Blue connecting with his mecha... for all of two scenes, and this episode feels like it has enough material for three. Unfortunately, squishing them all together like this hurts all the parts, imo.

Que Shrug. I'm not feeling this series yet. And that's weird. The pacing is all off and over the place, the enemies have no purpose other than some feeling issues, and even the new characters moods are stabby.
I'll give it time, but yeah.....I just don't know what's missing.
