The scenery of the fight does seem very similar to the first one shown in episode 1 of ToQger so that's maybe a coincidence xD

Wasn't the conductor the purple Toqger? If so its a weird coincidence that the heads of the series' transports turn out to be purple.

I think for now we can safely say male violet rangers = the oldest or of authorative status in their respective teams.

I'm starting to understand how team structure is becoming. Filler-ish episodes will feature the Kyulette and a 5 person away team while more plot-centric will feature all 9 members doing something.

That was something that was showcase quite well here, with all the Kyurangers doing something that was of some importance. The clear focus was definitely on Spada's group, finally shedding some details on his motives and backstory. It does however suffer from a bit of "show, don't tell" kinda problem where it's just sort of explained out of the blue. It's a problem the last two episode had regarding Balance and Hammy backstory details which is kind of a shame since both Champ and Stinger didn't have it when it came to their backstories.

Ikargen and Mardakko threat was definitely showcased here, with them exploiting weakness within the Kyurangers and proving to be very dangerous foes. Shou's tranformation into Ryu Violet was cool but its clear that the real debut is next epsiode.

Then that really would make this ToQger.

Aaaand considering everyone has now pointed out that the commander in charge is unofficially/officially always purple (because crap, didn't we also technically do that in KyoRyuger), so much of it all makes sense.

What I truly want to do....

Give me more Spada. And Naga/Balance.

Finally villains that don't suck.

Liked it a lot.

Despite the fact there were too many things going on, it was done well. I didn't care the Violet spandex was a reuse of ToQ. At least it's not a Zyuoh Bird scenario.
