Dairanger 23.

Back to Kujaku we go! I'm not complaining, Kujaku is like one of my favourite characters, and she always causes a lot of focus on Daigo the best of the Dairanger's but it does make the whole Akomaru arc feel like some elaborate piece of filler, just one giant meaningless detour. Hell with the way Kou wasn't even in this episode it feels like I'm watching the show out of order.

I dunno how to feel about the whole pollution thing. I mean on the one hand, it is a cool idea to think about how different our world would have been 6,000 years ago and the effect it would have on our bodies but on the other, do we really need more super sentai green peace messages?

Plus, what is with Daigo and Kujaku's melodramatic, Twilight like romance? They haven't established a single thing between these guys really, so Daigo suddenly making dramatic love declarations was almost as ridiculous as the monster of the week, Heatwave Hood.

Their escape from Heatwave Hood though? So epic.
