Happy to oblige! Between these episodes and a quick skim of some wiki summaries if you're ever confused, you'll be good (but let's be honest, you won't get too confused -- this is still a kid's show).

I think all you'll miss from that jump is the debut of Ramirez (the spirit ranger, KyoryuCyan) in episodes 5&6. I think Ramirez is a worthless character, so I consider this a public service.

There is just so many people fighting on screen at once, all fighting with their own unique styles and firing off their own special attacks, it's just madness and so awesome. I understand that it is partly because the team isn't defined yet, but still each member feels independent and that makes a very refreshing change.

So far, your reaction to these episodes is pretty similar to mine. Kyoryuger is a fun, energetic, zany show. And the madness is well-maintained through the series. Especially as more and more rangers get introduced. It's bombastic as fuck.

It's funny because the suit for Debo Jailcell was actually a lot cooler than Master Dogold's, I'll never understand why the generals get the worse suits. But that seems to happen a lot in toku.

There are some Deboss-of-the-Week suits that are gorgeous. They're some of my favorite in Sentai/Rider history.

The only Deboss general suit that I like is Candelira's. That zipper-mouthed gimp/fetish mask over the sugar-sweet pinkness of the rest of her is so disturbing.
