Zyuohger Episode 4: "ROAR In The Ring!" Discussion
 

The newest challenge in the Blood Game involves abducting people & forcing them to fight each other. When Leo & Sela get captured, things take a turn for the worse!

Decent episode. We get our glimpse at the gorilla. I'm interested to see how that goes down, since even the Zyuman are surprised by this.

As for the episode proper, I'm not sure how to feel. I like the possibility of an imbalanced rivalry between Sela and Leo, and I do hope that it's properly resolved, since I want them to have their proper battle.
Yep mhmm yeah. I did enjoy seeing snippets of their history, as they were apparently big martial artists, but Leo is staunchly against fighting women. Otherwise, it was just kind of eh.
And Tusk being afraid of sniffing Sela's socks. Poor guy, in a lose lose situation there~

Sela wears socks?

Yes, yes she does~

Underneath the leggings or are they ankle socks or something?

They seem to go past the ankle, but they also look quite loose and not very leg hugging.
Though, this is based entirely on Amu holding them, not seeing her wearing them.

Although the story did not really move forward, I appreciated the look at Leo and Sela's relationship. Satisfying to see them whoop ass on the MOTW

Again, Zyuohger been far more effective as pitching its characters as people we should give a shit about than any show since, probably Gokaiger (maybe Kyoryuger when it was hitting its beats).

At this point I think I'm in for the long haul on this show. I'm really enjoying every aspect of it so far. The characters are really fun and I agree with OptionZero that they all feel reasonably fleshed out at this point. Remembering back to my failed attempts to get into Ninninger, I distinctly recall the complete lack of personality the yellow guy had - really not seeing anything like that here.

I'm also starting to get used to the Minecraft Zords. I daresay I'm even beginning to like them.

Possibly my favorite part so far, though, is the villains. I really like how cruel and sadistic they are. The plan this week was mostly an excuse to get Sela and Leo to fight, but the concept behind and the version we see with the musicians were pretty dark.

So yeah, definitely liking the show and have no plans on dropping it at this point. Mind you, I felt the same way about ToQGer at first, and I ended up drifting away from that one about halfway through. Still, for now...

No, those were her leggings. I think Tusk's reluctance to smell them has less to do with the parts that cover her feet and more about the, um... northern regions.

As a side note, I'm deeply amused that Yamato's uncle now thinks Tusk is some kind of weird pervert. :lol

Or the fact that all things considered, Sela's clothes probably smell like fishwrap.

Because anthropomorphic cartilaginous predatory fish girl.

It's funny that most of the posts on this thread have been about an anthropomorphic shark's socks.
