Two years have passed since the Great War. The world is at peace, until a new figure appears from space- the "King of the Universe" has landed.

Wow. This was an amazing way to introduce the new villain. They really sold the raw power level on this guy and his generals. Really excited to see how the back half of the show plays out now.
As a complete sucker for last minute hero arrivals, the return of the four kings absolutely worked for me. I know we saw them all last week, but the show really did sell the idea that they had been away. Also, there are no words to describe how much I love the explanation for why Rita was in prison. |

I liked it!
This new villain group seems more capable than the Bugnarok ever was. Dugded Dujardin (did I spell that right?) Has a lot of character. I hope he keeps that demeanor through out the show. And the fact that he is doing this because he us bored essentially makes him more sinister. Plus his god-like powers makes him seem op so beating him should be very satisfying. Credit also to his va who matched the voice with his personality. Just did a good job there. I also liked that the other kings have now rivals. My favorite so far us the cyber ninja matched up against Yanma. I gotta learn their names by next week. And speaking of next week, its the return of the sentai tradition body swap episode which last happened in Kiramager I believe. And how about those reasons why the kings are in jail? I actually believe them doing those things. And Rita was mandatory vacation.

Damn, Jeremy and Gerojim are the only known survivors of their species now? Well, that escalated quickly! Although, I recall Nephila is supposed to become more relevant to the plot, somehow. I'm going to call now that Kamejim will be the final villain. I feel like he's the Brajira type, who could betray Dugded just like he did to Deathnarak.

My question is, why did the universe even spawn such a ridiculously OP godlike lifeform? Like, was he was always that way, or did he come from somewhere else and he's just a big fish who hopped in to a small pond? It's ominous to think about. Looks like we finally have our answer for what caused Racles to go from an idealistic teen to a ruthless conqueror. Dugded gave him the ultimatum and it was either humanity, Bugnarok or total destruction. Fortunately, Gira has a little more spirit of resistance inside him, as a king should have. But it's pretty clear that the only reason Terra hasn't already been wiped out after that is due to Dugded preferring to do it cleanly. He's starting to look like the Evolt of Sentai now. Quote:
Anyway, I think it's weird how they're doing a standard Sentai filler plot an episode after, like, all of this, but body-swapping the most powerful people on the planet will surely be a source of much chaos. At least, I hope they don't do the unnecessary voice-over thing here.

And doesn't Dugded's room remind anybody of Men in Black 2. The ending where the universe is inside a marble of some sorts?

After getting caught up, they ended the first arc on a phenomenal note with the founding of the Bugnarok Kingdom and Deathnarok VIII's defeat, now we have the set up for Dugded's Reign.
Off the bat, looks like we now know what influenced the change in Racles, seeing as how the Shuggodom Kings have been playing to Dugded Durajim's tune to avoid eradication. We also now see that the Bugnarok have been wiped out, and that the Fury of the Gods came from Space, which I guess we should have figured since the only known Gods on Terra are the Shuggods which we all met in the first half, and since no one knew about them at the time either. We got a big reunion after the Kings committed some "crimes" (love how Yanma made that "Under Heaven and Earth" reference in his verdict, and Rita simply wanted a vacation), fighting back against the new baddies along with Kamejim, whose placement makes me wonder if they're hinting at Rita getting a bigger role, or they just placed him wherever it fit which is most likely. Next Episode: Mind Swaps! Ninja! Oh my!

That was a strong introduction to a new villain. Menacing but petty, but absurdly powerful. I dig it.
He probably has a ridiculous Achilles' heel, since with the power he was displaying, I doubt the rangers will be able to just hit him extra hard to beat him. The kings being imprisoned was odd, but gave way to a dramatic entrance, so neat, I guess. Strange that N'Kosopa, a kingdom that's all about rising to the top, had the pushover as the new leader.
