True, true! :)

(But I'd rather have him on the team over Stinger.)

I'm onboard. This episode sealed it. Maybe I'm easy to please.

That said, maybe I'm not feeling the design of Kyuren-Oh. Its probably my least favorite Sentai Mecha design recently. And Aquila Voyager as an arm kind of seems limited.

Ah well, the mecha shows up less than 5 minutes an episode anyways.

There's always a chance of him becoming another Kyuranger. I'm still thinking that Ryu Commander is more like DekaMaster and not the team's '6th Ranger', meaning that there may be another proper '6th Ranger' for Kyurangers. Hell, the next theoretical member is the 12th member after all.

Oh no, not Earth...

I share the same trepidation a lot of you seem to about that. The exploration adventuring start of the series was too short. I do hope it returns to that at some points, but it was obvious we'd end up here for a long while eventually anyway.

Washi Voyager still doesn't look that good as an arm on the suit IMO. At least Raptor finally has her powers though. She was fun this episode.

We have seen a proper 6th Ranger in the toy catalogue scans, he's kinda aquamarine colored and based on the Ursa constellation with a major and minor form, so I doubt that's him.

But maybe they pull a ZyuohBird and we just get two orange Rangers. Or he’s movie exclusive or something.

I personally think that Scorpio-tora might have been the original owner of the orange Kyu Globe or something, and maybe he transforms again once or twice later.

Holy fourth wall breaking crap Batman.

Thoughts in a row:

So you give us a very large team and then literally say you're going to break them up for budget reasons. And put all the bad guys on Earth. Seriously? Couldn't just appease us and call it E-R-tha or some weird name?

I love the Rider crossovers. Or did no one else notice the giant Futo tower in the background? Or that everything was taken over by Gaim's Overlord fruit vines?

Every time I hear Jark Matter, I keep thinking Jerk Matter.

Now I want curry and rice.

Raptors story line is cute, but so boilerplate it hurts. She's still my favorite pink Sentai character in a long time, just because she's got some moves. I do wish they gave her something other than a flying vulture.

Lucky is the true Jerk Matter. I'm going to listen to the rest of the team tell me how Raptor shouldn't try to get hurt by putting her in harms way, but will basically tell you all to go to hell because it's not how I see life. Way to go sport. Go scream your catchphrase somewhere else.

Even in the future, everyone in a major metropolis wears black as a primary color.

Spada has a point. On his head.

The buckles are awesome.

A better episode but still has flaws and here are things I would change about this episode.

Earth: I would of been satisfied if they just say that when Jark Matter took over they renamed Earth into something like Zearth.

Lucky: The one thing that did bug me about the episode was his lines and acting. Just when ever he talked or did anything, something just seemed off which bugged me.

Also one thing I found funny was that one of the kids was named Takeru. Looks like he ran out of his infinite potential.

I don't really think Koguma Sky Blue fills the 6th ranger spot. He's more akin to say Kyoryu Violet from Kyoryuger.

Shou Ronbou

- Is Purple
- Has a subordinate that has an angel theme
- Desires food from Earth

Shou's a God of Destruction/Alt. Beerus, calling it.

Also, is Takatora's actor's thing just being the older brother to douches or soon-to-be-douches? Because this is going to be twice now.
