For the record, the episode of Go-Busters that fight was lifted from was directed by Noboru Takemoto, while, probably more relevantly, the show's action director was Hirofumi Fukuzawa, who has been Super Sentai's action director ever since then. Before Go-Busters, he was primarily a suit actor who played roles including Shinken Red, a character which required a ton of very stylish and impressive work with swords both big and small, so I kind of expect him to have a good grasp on what makes a fight look cool. Early Go-Busters was full of very showoff-y fights like that which had a pretty different "language" to how Sentai usually is, and that was a particularly memorable one.

Oh, and yeah, I said early Go-Busters, didn't I!? You say Beast Morphers hid stock footage well, but even beyond that, one thing I found impressive about it is how willing it was to totally remix the Sentai episodes it was borrowing from in a way that would've been unthinkable for PR back during a show like Megaforce. This, and I believe quite a few other episodes are actually pulling from episodes before the extra Rangers even debuted, in this case turning a focus episode for Red Buster into one about Steel, who, for the record, is a character I enjoy at least as much as his Sentai counterpart. This is very high praise when you consider I'm saying Beast Morphers at all stacks up favorably to Literally My Favorite Toku Thing Ever. It's no surprise your favorite episode would heavily involve him.
