Gokaiger 3.

Wow Super Megaforce, visually, is like a shot for shot remake of this. It looks at times, like they literally edited the Rangers into Gokaiger footage. While we're on that topic, I kinda wish Nick got a chance to cameo, as they could have done some really interesting things with this episode, given that MagiRanger and Mystic Force approach magic very differently. I wonder what kind of tests Nick would create? And it woulda worked really well too, given Noah is defined by being constantly unsure of his own abilities, he and Nick could relate a lot.

I'm also really surprised they didn't use that Black Gokai change for Megaforce. Sure no one likes Alien Rangers, but that is one of Tommy's suits and a girl version of one of the RPM Rangers. Seems a better change to use than all of the fucking sentai only teams they used. I mean I know they transformed, but we never saw the fight.

Speaking specifically of this show, the White Change was pretty great, as Big One is probably the only sentai hero to actually look like a proper superhero. That suit is awesome. Is JAKQ subbed? I don't care much for MagiRanger but knowing how different these characters are, to who they change into, was fun in a meta sort of way.

There were some other things that kinda sucked though. Firstly, aren't all the Rangers dead? So what is Kai doing here? And why does Kai look like a Jedi? And while we're at it, the MagiDragon was just inside their boat this whole time without them realising? EH?! And considering they just got a giant robot dragon, their new finisher SUCKED. What happened to that awesome cannon rocket assault from last week? Is that really less effective then a few magic rings?
