It's nice for Kiramager to come back with a fun episode. The poor monster, though :lol

I think part of what makes this episode strong is what Fish pointed out, Tametomo catching on quickly and advancing without the usual repetitiveness that makes time loop plots a drag.

The venue set up for the tournament was a little strange, but I guess I've seen more ghetto set ups in the US, so I'll let it slide :lol

When Tame was doing his new move montage, Shovellow actually says Que Boom.

I might've forgotten because of the wait between episodes, but didn’t every single one so far have a reference to some other Sentai?

You mean the the other episodes or the other lines in that montage, If it's the latter, then possibly. If anyone wants to search and find out, be my guest.

The other episodes, I remember obvious stuff like the manga from LuPat making an appearance in episode 02 but I think there was more.

And also how Jouki's Burn Blacker from ep 4 was near identical to the Tyrannos breath attack from Zyuranger/MMPR. So business as usual.

So it was Shovellow? I see. Yeah, this episode just rushed out the trivias unexpectedly. It's as if they were trying to make up for the hiatus by chucking at us the Ryusoulger references as well as the ninja-themed sentai shows as well. :lolol
