[Locke]

Dairanger 04. The scale and stakes have been raised, is the show finally getting serious and good? Eh... The rest of the episode was kinda fun, in a sort of drugged fuelled haze kind of way, especially when a puppet held up some fast food joint with a gun.

So wait, Ryou wasn't the only rookie, they all are? That makes the opening episode a bit more confusing then... These guys are some of the worst heroes ever, Daigo is the only one who feels like a proper heroic protagonist.

Another fun set of action scenes, though. I love the mech stuff here, and all the power weapons were awesome, even if they came from nowhere. Why they need them with their crazy superpowers is another story entirely... And I know it's just illusions, but I still think the general craziness of the way Daigo uses it makes it as stupid as it is epic.

Holy crap is Key Jester part of CP9? All Daigo needs to do is go gear second and he'll win!
