Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Brave 45 "That Can't Be Dad! The End of Silver"
 

Loved it, the flag was a little obvious but even 'OK' episodes of Kyoryuger have a great energy and vibrancy that keeps them fun and entertaining. I think the distraction gag at the end was as hilarious as it was lame and Blue leaping into the fray like he did with his shield was a fantastic moment. Fun stuff. ^^

I think I cried a little bit at the end, the final hours of Kyourger are nothing to shake a Dion tail at

This series is gonna get to me at the end I know it.

Am I the only one gettin a Master Asia vibe from Dantestsu?

Great episode!

And thank god, those cloaked dudes got monster suits. I hate seeing clearly-human people in the daikaiju fights -- it makes suspending disbelief impossible. The scale of the suits becomes clear, and it just looks like a bunch of dudes running around on a miniature set.

Why did the production team wait to debut these monster forms? It has to be related to budget issues, right? Since episode 37 we've been presented a string of recycled monster suits, reused Gabrincho of Music suits, slightly modified mooks as main monsters, and "ultra-powerful" Deboss generals that are just guys dressed in shitty Halloween capes... what other reason could there be?

Well, at least we got 3 new (and awesome, per usual for this series) full monster suits this episode. Hopefully means they were saving all their money for an all-out crazy final 3 episodes.

So was Super Hero time really short for "Super (serious stuff goes down on both) Hero (shows) Time" this week?

Was a good episode, I just kinda wish it didn't make it so painfully obvious that Torin is going to eventually come back as a spirit ranger. I'm hoping that Dantetsu is just doing an elaborate ruse either and will genuinely go down as a bad guy, but I don't feel the show is that daring.

Right now I'm honestly hoping Dantetsu has legitimately turned. That it's not some big ploy or anything, but he was honestly convinced that Deboss was the right path to walk or something.

I know it won't, considering how the show has been handled before, but it would be nice for a hero to turn and stay turned.

It would be a hell of a thing to see him go down as truly bad, but I highly doubt it. From the moment he closed in on Torin I assumed there was a plan. And obviously his bravery is still intact or he couldn't become Silver. So I don't think he's quite crossed the evil threshold yet.

I just caught up with last week and this weeks episodes and taken together that was solid stuff. Deboss' new design reminds me very much of Mons Drake from Goseiger, it's an interesting costume to say the least. I knew Luckiero and Candelira would wind up being good guys too.

I'm hoping that, if he does return to the Kyoryugers side, it's because he realizes that what he's doing is wrong.

Also, has anyone mentioned any hypotheses about Daigo being the true king of the Earth? Because I'm putting that out there.

This episode was intense! I shouted out "damn" at least once and almost cried. So good.
