What?s surprising is that they?re doing it now. Pretty much every other instance happens when the movie is out on DVD/Blu-ray, rather than the month after the movie came out (which adds a bit of fuel to my ?this was intended as the finale? theory, but that?s neither here not there).

I still remember being incredibly confused when the end of Lupinranger involved the red version of the center mech showed up out of nowhere without having ever been seen or mentioned on the show itself. Not that it wouldn't have been a complete ass-pull even if I had seen the movie.
