This was a fantastic episode. Torin's "death" was reasonably well handled, seeing Yayoi and the Spirit Rangers again was fantastic, I loved the movie references/clips and Dogold's plan was brilliant. Kyoryuger at its finest.

BUT

I seriously can't stand Carnival, I don't think I've ever disliked a design in toku this much. If it isn't the stupid costume, its Daigo trying to give a serious speech with Minityra jumping up and down like a loon, the repeated stock footage of battery insertion or just the plain incessant dancing in general.

Its a shame, because it notably brought the episode down for me.

This this this this THIS.

This episode couldn't have been more polarized for me. On one hand, the first half or so was great. The stuff with Torin and Chaos' origins, his death, his revival, the amazing Spiritranger + Yayoi fight(about that, this series feels really overloaded on Insert Songs. Was that a character song medley during the extras' fight?), I love it.

But then Carnival decided to use supplementary Jyudenchi... That had to be the most mind numbing fight I've seen in Sentai. Kamitsuki Change is so time consuming and illogical(you thought Kyoryujin was bad? This is worse), and we get to see it FOUR TIMES. Why did we have to see it FOUR TIMES? Could they really not spread out the use of the other forms over the next few episodes? It's also succeeded in making me sick of Carnival's Insert Song, I don't even know what's it called and I'm sick of it!

I really don't even hate Carnival's Amigo powerups design wise. It's a cool idea, and it could probably bring something new and interesting to the fights. But... not like this.
