This was by far the strongest first episode we've gotten for a Sentai in ages.

A positive about DonBrothers not following franchise tradition and conformity is that seeing the massive invasion, including what I assume is the series' main boss and general, goes from being typical and expected to being exciting and engaging. That whole invasion sequence was fantastic in and of itself.

Not to mention this is also the most visually stunning a Sentai's been. The CG's toku movie level so far and some bts stuff shows they use massive screens for unorthodox locations, so I'm assuming things are gonna look a lot more consistent and will mix traditional locales we see in Toei's stuff with original kingdom locations using that new tech.

I've really been enjoying this sort of rebirth Sentai's been going through. From Kiramager embracing its characters to drive the story and connecting to the viewers via humor to Zenkaiger embracing the fun that Sentai can bring to DonBrothers being bold enough to completely ignore most if not all tropes and expectations to now King-Ohger immediately being visually distinct from everything before it.
