Epic 33.

Yay new villains, good riddance to the Yuuma! Not sure how I feel about these whole robotic Alantians who are futuristic but also from the past business but we'll see.

It was a strong character episode. I loved the way the episode used each characters reactions to the events of last episode to convey their personalities to the audience. Moune and Agri especially really have grown a lot over the course of the series, even if Agri rarely gets any character focus specifically on him. Alata continues to be my favourite character, and favourite Red. I'm not sure about Hyde's obsession with smiles but I did like that they brought Magis up, too often sentai will use those kind of episodes but never reference them again despite them being a crucial part of someone's character. About the only one I can't comment on is Eri, as she sucks.
