Oh man, what a solid finale. The actual big climactic fight was cool and everything, if a little undercut by the ad breaks (the theme song just stops), but all the wrap-up stuff REALLY shined here. I think I'll try some bullet points about the episode before saying some stuff about the series as a whole, so:

- Man, Naria just can't catch a break

- Given how much the series has banged on about how everything is connected, I actually quite like how the team wins the fight because the Earth itself basically wills it to happen. Don't mess with this planet indeed. I guess it's a little deus ex machina, but it's all good.

- Love seeing everyone chill out on Wild Tousai Dodeka King's (I think I got the name right?) shoulder and just take in the view. There's just kind of a cool novelty to seeing stuff like that.

- I love how Leo shoves everybody into that group hug. Zyuohger was always great about letting the characters show personality in subtle ways like that, and this is no exception.

- So, um, this is the big one. I guess the Rangers going back in time to defeat Sledge prevented the extinction of the dinosaurs from ever happening. WHAT!!!? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! What about the canon!? Is Ninja Steel gonna have dinosaurs!? Way to screw up decades of continuity, Saban. Nice going.

- I guess that guy who fell off that cliff in Zyuland really DID just die, then? Dang, the one time I took note of something for later in the whole show and it's the one thing that didn't come back up again.

- I'm going to miss that ending theme. I've really grown to like it the past couple months. They even named the episode after a line from it, so you know it's awesome.

I think that about covers it, but then I always think that with Ex-Aid every week and I always end up forgetting something. I like this show a lot. I was mostly just mildly enjoying it for a lot of its run but now that it's gone, I'm really gonna miss it. I enjoyed these characters, I enjoyed their world, and I enjoyed even the most bland of their weekly adventures.

The team especially, for how much I've complained (if you can call it that) that Yamato is the center of the world, had likable personalities and great chemistry that really made you feel like these guys were indeed "a pack of champions". I'm pretty bummed I'm not going to get to see them anymore for a while. Like, can Yamato just be in Kyuranger? I really like Yamato. This Lucky guy has some big shoes to fill.

So yeah, I give Zyuohger a very high ちょうかっこイーグル/10. Just a dang good show all around.
