Another samba-tastic episode.

When will the full theme be available?

Seeing a guy who's supposed to be serious samba before transforming is kinda disturbing. And the Sim ha ha was annoying.

Green's sword style has been bugging me for a while so after a bit a searching there is an actual technique which has the wielder holding the katana with the blade running along the arm. It called “Zatoichi style” or reverse grip. The style is named after the long running Zatoichi series of books and films but was normally called 'reverse grip'. There are a few benefits to using this style: 1: It is excellent for closed in spaces. 2) It is faster than using a normal grip. 3) It is used to immediately follow up a disarming move (where your sword would end up in this grip naturally due to the disarming technique).

Kyoryu Green definitely has an interesting fighting style. Its nice to watch. I had to laugh with Kyoryu Red using a gun in a sword fight. And when Daigo offered Souji a hug I thought "I bet he would prefer Amy to give him a hug!" and what do you know, she did give him a hug.

That was an exciting episode, with some of the most impressive sword fights since Shinkenger and Gokaiger.

Just watched it this morning.
Was pretty fun. There wasn't much going for it (It went way too quickly. Green gave his identity away at the drop of a hat, his father accepted him before I even knew what, and other minor pacing issues).

I think the largest problem for Kyoryu is that it's doing things too quickly. It's moments like this episode and episode 2 that I wish it adopted KR's 2 episode plot. Yes, that'd mean we wouldn't get to know all the rangers by episode 4, but it also means we'd have much better told stories for them.

Kyoryured…the one man smart enough to bring a gun to a sword fight:lol

I kind of agree with you. This week wasn't as bad as last week in terms of pacing, but it's still going really fast. I'm inclined to suspect it's at least partially a reaction to Go-Busters, where you could have a good month or two of episodes where nothing happened.

I recall the single for the OP and ED comes out March 13.

I don't think this episode had any pacing problems. I thought it was fine.

The best part about this episode though? Takayoshi Tanimoto sang the fight song. Woooooot!
