but tbh i really enjoyed it. which is something i havent experienced in ages. i honestly prefer to have a buttload of cgi instead of the suit actor awkwardly slashing and punching the monster once and then finishes them with chest beam every week. it gets old. it used to be done creatively in the past, but recently...

Anyone wanna take bets on who the wild card antagonist might be? Here are my three theories so far:
1. The descendent of Arsene Lupin. In episode 1, Kogure mentions that Lupin's descendent feels ashamed for losing the Lupin collection and can't bear to face his great ancestor. My first theory is that Lupin's descendent is or was turned into a Gangler when they stole the Lupin Collection. Feeling ashamed, he/she/it decided that if they can't retrieve them, somebody else could and went about taking the loved ones of the Lupinrangers, giving them a similar goal to strive for and become Lupinrangers. It seemed almost coincidental that Kogure turns up after each Lupinranger 'loses' their loved one. He was sent by Lupin's descendent who caused it. 2. Kogure. Tying into it being coincidental that Kogure turns up when the Lupinrangers lost their loved ones, maybe Kogure is the Gangler. Motives similar to the first theory but changed to make his master feel happy again or another reason entirely. Until we're shown/told otherwise, Kogure's knowledge of the Gangler's and which Lupin Collection object they possess are because he's a Gangler. (I know episode 1 shows that Kogure has heard of that fire Gangler using its abilities but this could be a clever cover) 3. A rival Gangler to Dogranio Yaboon. Since the Gangler's hierarchy works like a mafia/gang, it's possible that the wild card is actually a Gangler after Dogranio's position as Boss. But because all the Gangler's are loyal to Dogranio and have objects from the Lupin Collection, the wild card needed a way to get rid of them (if they dont want lackeys) so he/she/it could find an easier way to take the position of Boss, thus helped create the Lupinrangers (this could also tie in to the first two theories) as a means to an end (get rid of the cannon fodder to make his/her/it's ascension easier). These theories will obviously change once more details are shown throughout the series.

Not as much focus on the PatRangers as I hoped for, but it's still a good episode.
So (for now) only one team gets to form their mech? They better make that epic showdown worth the wait. Villains are back to growing monsters by sending the lady monster to take her time making the monster grow while TWO TEAMS of Rangers stand by doing nothing. Oh lordy it's Naria all over again. |

Still liking this so far. I'm a bit surprised that the LupinRangers got the most focus again; I was expecting more even development. I assume we'll get some PatRanger episodes eventually, but it looks like episode 3 is still going to be very Lupin-centric.
The action was good again and I think I'm going to like the heroes vs. monsters vs. other heroes dynamic we have going. The fusion thing was... weird. Weird in a fun way, though. I am super not digging the puppet, though. I have a lot of negative feelings towards puppet characters in Sentai, dating back to some of the worst elements of Magiranger (do gozarimasu desu). I was really enjoying everything up until the puppet showed up. |

I agree with him. I hated Mandora. I hated Ticket (and Conductor, a second-rate Owner, which is telling). I hated Bae. The only Sentai puppets (that I can recall right now) I've liked were Boku and the Fiveman puppets.

I felt this and the last episode had the most dynamic fight choreography I've seen in a while. It reminds me of Wizard in a sense.

So, I'm watching the MEcha fights in this episode thinking "Man, there is no way people aren't dying as a result of this".
But yeah, I love the choreography in this episode. I hope we see more of these three way fights. |
