Ninninger Episode 39- "The Son Of Kibaoni Appears!" Discussion
 

A new challenger approaches- Mangetsu, son of the great Kibaoni General! Is there enough Nintality to defeat him?!

Kasumi choosing not to go Transcendent was kind of weird but her using it to make a different finisher (and then piloting Shurikenjin by herself without any clones and chaining finishers) was damn cool.

The villain plot was kind of cool but somewhat predictable.

Mythbuster Confirmed: If the whole series was about Kasumi, it would have been the best series ever.

What's the pun with Mangetsu ? I guess it has something to do with hands giving his apparence.

So, wait a second. Shurikenjin was destroyed, that's the whole reason why they have the new one. So how are they able to pilot it still?

I believe it means "Full Moon."

I don't think it got fully destroyed. It just got pretty wrecked, so it had to be fixed, and they logically needed something stronger to kick Kyeemon's ass

This was an okay episode. Mangetsu is just annoying. I hope they destroy him. MomoNinger was awesome especially with the Chozetsu and Gekiatsu sword. I wish she got the Chozetsu armor though.

I liked this episode, but I didn't love it. Mangetsu is an interesting idea for a character, so we'll see where this goes...

My main concern is that... we're less than 10 episodes from the end. I know that most Sentai series' big story beats don't kick into gear until after the Christmas episode, but I definitely feel like we should have a bit more momentum built up by this point.

Introducing Mangetsu was a start, and they've been seeding shady doings with Kinji, but I'm beyond ready for some actual story movement.

When even you start highlighting this, it shows how much of a big problem its become ;) hehe

I did quite enjoy this episode though. Mangetsu seems like a well-needed addition to the bad guys, and Kasumi eps always prove to be reasonably fun. I don't quite understand how both mecha could be around at once when Pandamaru is supposed to be possessed by Kasumi, but whatever :lol
