That was a really fun episode, and it continued to show that J is fantastic at being J.

Also holy shit dat plot drop at the very end. I wonder how everything is going to play out? I really didn't follow the theory of Nick dying/upgrading that I've seen pop up now and then after the recent catalog scans, but after the next episode preview and what's shaping up to be a mid-season plot-shift I might have to subscribe to that theory.

I'm sorry? Second opening?!

Well, a thought just came to my head.


What if they just upgrade Nick so that he can pilot Ace himself?

That would be pretty cool. I don't think Nick will die or be upgraded though. Simply because we've seen some teaser images of the Ace riding the Rai-Oh in cycle mode. I'd say the Rai-Oh will be a new machine, with a new buster, and a new buddyroid. The buster is any guess but I'd say the likely candidate is Commander Kuroki. I'd say the buddyroid will be appropriately badass so that Nick can look up to it and the riding gimmick can make sense as working with his mentore. I'm hoping for a sort of OOO LaToraTar/Gao Red looking mix for the costume of the Rai-Oh's pilot.

Finally got around to watching the episodes, and I like the changes I saw.

Still not feeling the opening theme much, but the visuals are much better and the fact they're playing the team as a 5-piece rather than a 3+2 one now feels so much better, both in the show and its opening/ending. The BGM used in this episode felt much more like traditional, "heroic" Sentai music too.

A very encouraging episode, and next week's looks like its going to be where the show truly kicks into overdrive.

I loved how Jin and Ryuuji reacted once Hiromu walked into the room after the chicken story.

So i was bored and i decided to watch this episode.... Keep in mind i havent watched a full episode since episode 17.... it was suprisingly good, but i wont keep up with it since i just hate this show.... people say beet and stag saved the show and i agree they are enjoyable but in my eyes 2 characters cannot redeem a show

No two characters can't redeem a show, but a massive U-turn in plot and pacing could. And if the last few episodes have showed us anything this could be exactly what we're getting.

Well, people complained about this series, they made changes, and you still don't think it's enough? What more do you want?

I think this could make a few of you laugh.
