Usually when weird things happen, it was Nobuo who would explain what's happening and why. He would see all of the twists and turns, but now, it seems like he's no longer acknowledging these things. It just doesn't feel as fun.

Plus, why pick on Dairanger? And how can Saburo totally rewrite Sentai history? Why would we, the viewers, buy that plot? Why not just have Saburo make the Akibarangers the current, official Sentai team?

Saburo didn't rewrite Sentai history. The world is a TV show, it's just that no one knows it. He rewrote Sentai history of the world the show takes place in. I'll admit, it's hard to wrap you head around.

Anyway, this was a competent start. The rewrites were fine. The scene with the toy Machine Itasha fighting Drill Cyclops was amazing. I love how they made it important to not hit him with the "dere" sword.

I'm curious and confused how Akiba is 17th. Did it replace Dairanger alone and just continue on with Kakuranger? Did the series in its entirety get pushed forward 20-something years so that the 17th series is the current one? I think it could go either way. It would be strange to have so much merchandise in that store for a 20 year old show. But it would be even stranger if they had Tora Origami, who may very well not exist, in the store. Guess we'll find out.
