I was so on the edge of my seat during this episode. This was a great final battle. Perhaps it went on a little too long, but personally I think it would’ve been a bit anticlimactic if it was any shorter. The call back to the first episode was really cool. The epilogue was great as well and a fitting conclusion to the series.

As for Kyuranger as a whole, it definitely has some glaring issues. The biggest being the unevenness in its focus of characters. Certain characters clearly get more focus than others and some of the plot points in the show I think could’ve been done better or outright scraped so that we can give focus to other characters.

With that being said though, there’s a reason Kyuranger is the first Sentai in recent years that I’ve not only watched to completion, but also managed to keep up on a weekly basis. While it does have uneven focus on its characters, I still like most of the characters and the advantage of having so many distinct personalities is that you get a lot of neat interactions and clash of characters throughout the show. Aesthetic wise, the suit are probably the most universally praised aspect of Kyuranger and yeah, there’re pretty good. The action scenes remain consistently top notch throughout the show; they were really exciting to watch with all the different abilities each member has and each episode had some really cool cinematography. The comedy hits 9 times out of 10 with the occasional dud every now and then. I also really like the music especially during this final episode; it gave this feeling of grandeur and this sense of “Yeah, We’re going to save the universe”.

If nothing else, there’s just something about the shows tone that made it a joy to watch. It’s the show that I’ll pop in when I know I have free time and want to sit back and relax. That sort of morning show vibe that I’ve been kind of missing for a while. But alas, nothing last forever. So farewell space saviours, and hello cops and robbers.
