"[x], the things you've done are unforgivable" is quoted out of context from Ghost Mugen Damashii's climactic fight against Adel's Ganmaizer form, but the lack of personal feelings between Ikki and Olteca makes it sound empty. "We're not devils, we're Revice" makes as much sense as Shoutarou saying "We're not detectives, we're Double". Ikki and Vice are definitely devils, it's literally in the name of their theme song! Honestly, I couldn't take that fight seriously and I feel like Olteca still had a lot more to give, compared to Akaishi who's just an OP plot device that makes creepy expressions.

The following episode was even a lame filler recap, which opens with Sakura spending like a whole minute giving a long exposition about Hiromi to the devil plushie that literally lives in her head and therefore already knows everything she's saying! It's even longer than Akaishi's eulogy to Olteca. Not the kind of writing that inspires much confidence. Then we got the controversial Aguilera redemption arc and I was just totally out of motivation after that.

The episode that was more or less them dicking around with Vice's actor while the show pulled the "Is ViCe AcTuAlLy EvIl????????" schtick for the 80th time was what raised the big red flag that the writers simply either didn't know what to do after a certain point or wrapped their engaging plots up right away or both. I Don't think Olteca is the GREATEST Villain ever but he's a sure lot better than this franchise's equivalent to Don Thousand(the main villain from Yugioh Zexal who basically is generic villain defined more by the threat he posses than powers/personality/goals/motives) and a villain who only wins because the good guys are dumb I don't HATE Revice like some do but it definitely spiral'ed IMO Hoping the last arc fixes it

may I ask which one becuase I HATED Kyoryuger/Toquger and Ninninger I dropped EARLY after realziing "it's the same show as the last 2", I Gave KYuuranger a shot only to drop it 5 seconds because I couldn't bear to sit through another episode of heairng Lucky mug the camera yelling "YoShA lUcKyYyYyYyYyY!!!!! every 5 seconds" and haven't watched an episode of Sentai ever since
