The only time I remember them talking about the passes was when they boarded the Ressha and even then nothing specific was said. Just that they have to use the Gate to board them.

I meant during the rumors/previews before it started.
I just know that imagination is a really strong point in the series.I just personally think they're imaginations of the conductor because we never see where they came from,and the flashbacks are vague.They could be from the Conductor's point of view.

One more thing I noticed, I really loved the music in the first episode, especially during the henshin sequence:

It really complements and adds that oomph to the transformation. Also, i think this is one of the more recent times in Toku where the changer sounds do not conflict with the background music.

The whole Henshin sequence feels very big and grandious especially with the camera shaking a bit at times.

Unless of course the Conductor imagined them, and the power of his creations imagination in turn gave them life and independently which allowed them to turn into full fledged people. And that is why they could be Toqgers.

I forgot to mention last night: this show's theme song is like something Power Rangers would do if it just got lazy: 30 seconds of the word "Go!" :lol

The second Not-Owner shouted "Imagination" by brain immediately went to this:

Which is odd, as I always hated that commercial and it's "You don't need an imagination, you can watch Netflix!" message.

I'm actually surprised by how much I don't absolutely loathe Kogura (Kagura? Yogura?). I think it's because the cutesy thing feels less like a forced affectation and more like just an aspect of her character. That's not to say I won't grow annoyed with her as the show goes on, but for now she really does feel like a scared, immature kid trying to deal with her self-esteem issues. She doesn't come across as a grown-ass woman acting like a toddler to appeal to men.

I love the theme song!

Am I the only one who didn't really care for any of the characters? I'm not trying to deliberately shit on it, as people think I do on things, but it's just we got so little about anyone.

Five is "the girl", one is "the leader", two is the "gag one", three is "the other girl" and then four is the "cool one". I'm not saying they can't grow into great characters but I feel with how little we actually got we can't really say anything right now.

Thats usually how Sentai does it. You get the most basic informations about the characters to know what their deal is. The following Episodes is going to develop them more.

Definitely looks like Two and Five will annoy me to no end, by the end. I'm most excited to see how One and Four grow by the end.
