But if Zyouh the World was a human or alien? How did he transform into Zyuoh the World despite he is NOT ZYUMAN?!

Tusk says Most of Zyuoh stuff doesn't work for human or maybe aliens!

So Kaixabird is an official fan nickname for Bird Man?!

What is better to call him?! Kaixabird or Bird Man?! Help me Bros!

Just caught the ep from OT and i echo everyone's sentiments - excellent episode, fast paced, all the mecha look tons better than that damn DX toy, effects were well done, just awesome

No it is not "official".Relax.

Sela/Shark is definitely the straight man(or woman in this case) to Leo/Lion's goofball character. Or to use owarai terms Sela is the tsukkomi and Leo is the boke. Tusk/Elephant is more of a wise and reserved sage type than a tech dude. Amu/Tiger is just a valley girl from what I see so far.

Got around to watching the sub, and damn. It was really good! I might actually stick around with this show, something I rarely do with Sentai. One thing I've been wondering about since the stream though... Does this series have a different effects company working on it than the last few years? If not, they've really upped their game, because the CGI and visual effects were surprisingly excellent for a Toku show. I certainly hope Zyuohger retains this quality. On a side note, I also really love the big bad's voice. It's very familiar, too. Where have I heard him before?

Well like others have said this was a pretty darn good episode. The fights and practical effects looked pretty good. I was hoping on seeing more of Zyuo world, but maybe another time. The sixth cube missing is a great way of leading the sixth ranger in.

Now I'm not saying anything definite, but something felt off about Ninninger last year. I don't feel that yet with this show, so I am interested in more, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.

I just hope the ending of this episode isn't immediately resolved. I want there to be a little abrasion in the team before the 6th appears so that their coming together feels a lot more natural.

I agree. The Sela/Leo dynamic should be very interesting indeed. And I was referring to more of the mystical tech with the cubes with Tusk. Given that one shot of him reading a book while looking at one of the cubes, I assume he knows more about the "technology" of the cubes that they are using better than anyone. And I'm sure we'll find out more about Amu over the season. I'm just happy that she isn't annoying. That could have very easily been the case.

Really enjoyed this episode! Already crushing on Sela and Amu :D Leo is actually my favorite Zyuman because of his comedic relief.

Ah, I see. Glad that we are on the same page now.
Tusk also feels like a cross between Gao Yellow and Kyoryu Green come to think of it.
