Yes, the villains and what they are trying to do is rather dark. Organ Harvesting, and now human trafficking. But it fits for an organized crime syndicate. These criminals are not just cutesy harmless bad guys, but do some of the same stuff that real criminals do. I personally like that and think it fits the show nicely. Especially since it draws a further line between them and the Lupinrangers, who ARE harmless criminals (assuming they even are technically criminals since they are just retrieving stolen property) I think that's probably why they are doing it. If we are supposed to root for thieves, then we can't have the bard guys also be realtively harmless criminals. They have to be clearly all out nasty, with no room for sympathy. Or as much as children's television allows.

It's nice to have an actual Patoranger episode. It's pretty good. I loved the reveal of how the monster's powers worked, and Tsukasa's reaction towards it.
I also enjoyed LupinYellow's decision to tell them about the Gangler. Was a nice moment overall. The characters are all pretty fun, and getting to see more of 1gou and 3gou was nice, as well as their cute little backstory in the academy. I can't wait to see more. And concerning the villains, you guys have to watch more Sentai. MOTW do this kind of stuff all the time Quote:
Do not get me wrong, I do not hate them, I just dislike that their entire character is 90% their gag routine, I overall like Gokai Silver and The World, but both are forced into a comedy spot for their entire season, especially The World who went from a really interesting character to constantly having really REALLY dumb I AM DEPRESSED moments that lasted the entire season and was never anything other then a "gag funny haha" routine.

I also liked the World. Unlike other characters that basically get tortured and are just fine, he basically was suffering from PTSD and various other mental issues as a result. I liked that they were actually dealing with that, even if you dealt with it humorously at times. At least they were dealing with it.

I actually got a sense that TheWorld might have been autistic, which, again, made him seem far more relatable as someone with high-functioning autism. Could have just been me looking too much into it.
Since this is the same writer as Zyuohger, hopefully Patren/Lupin X (and any potential new rangers cough cough) get some good development as well. |

And in this episode we revisited the place in the Helheim Forest where we met the Overlords in Gaim. I love that place, nice scenery.

*opening still focuses almost entirely on Lupinranger in terms of lyrics* ughhhhhhh
Despite that, the Patrangers get their fair share of personality, even LupinYellow gets a little more character

Um, no. There are two different theme songs playing at once in the opening, one for each. The songs are both about the Patorangers chasing the Lupinrangers, but one of them is from the Patorangers' perspective.

Yeah. And the Patranger side still keeps going "hold up Lupin" and stuff while only mentioning Patranger once

While we have nothing but assumptions about how the actual OP will be used, I like that it is a joint song, I assume the split versions of the track will be used in the show when the main focus is on either team as a battle track, they generally use the main theme as a battle track here and there. |
