Dairanger 10. It's nice to have some more backstory, but I would like someone to explain why the Dairanger's themselves are exclusive to the present, but everyone else was there 6,000 years ago. Why is everyone able to live so long? If they had access to the Dairanger powers, why not use them in the past?

Still, it's cool to have some badass women, after watching so much Kamen Rider I started to forget women existed. I love Gara's weird sword thing. And their rematch really was very enjoyable, the special effects aren't great, but the ideas are. Everyone just has such insane powers, and it's really like TTGL in the way it's so balls to the wall with everything. People are firing energy blasts, using telekinesis, breathing fire, turning into spirit animals and that's like a minute of screen time.

Although, the episode kinda ruined that, with how Daigo is just obsessed with her from the word go, for no reason at all. And when she turns round and almost kills him with a couple of burning daggers, he only falls harder.

So all the Dairanger's got an upgrade on their rods now? I like how Daigo got a proper introduction for his, and everyone else gets them just because. It was also kinda weird that 'Lion Style' includes a move of complete calm, I mean the scene is kinda cool, but I wouldn't have expected that from a Lion, even if it isn't mean literally.

I think I spoke too soon with how this show handles the Rangers, Zaku has had no focus at all. Lin found out just how important she was, before she vanished into the background, Ryou has had focus on principle of him being red and Shouji got one arc dedicated to him but seems to have nothing wider going on so he too vanished into the background, bar a few aggressive outbursts now and then.

Why was Cherry Blossom even here though? He made like one pointless unmorphed fight happen, and then for the rest of the episode stood in the background being a dick.
