All the Busters achieved, then, was killing their parents? Fucking Christ, I didn't know Toshiki Inoue wrote this. I dunno, I get - at least sort of - why they did it, but after watching that wonderful "wrap up" to the show, then stomaching that horrible Gavan two parter, I'd have preferred not to go flying face first into this middle finger.
It's weird as well, because the Busters themselves are obviously so preoccupied with the battle at hand, they never realise this themselves - and since they've got toys to sell, I'm not sure they ever will. So not only do we get a giant middle finger, but the show acts like it's no big deal while it's doing it.
About the only thing I hope to take away from this is hopefully Enter will actually start DOING SOMETHING and not just spending every episode stood in the background saying random French phrases. Everyone goes on about how great a villain he is, but he's really done very little so far, achieved even less and although he got serious that one time for great effect he ended up getting his ass kicked in one of the most ridiculous looking robots I've ever seen. What do we need for a badass mech? GIANT KNEEEEEEEEES!
Then again, it may just be that a scenario like this is simply too complex for sentai. Considering the genre rests on a style of storytelling where no matter what goal you wish to achieve, killing the monster of the week is the only answer. I mean they're hit with a genuine, mature, dilemma and that just may be too much.
In terms of the new toy, I'm impressed in some ways and others not so much. Carnival was a very similar concept to Powered Custom and visually I liked that way more, but what let it down was that it was basically a shameless mecha line toy ad - Power Rangers more toy focused? HAH and the fact only Daigo got it.
Both of those problems are fixed here (well this came first) but visually it just really isn't very impressive. But then I guess that's sorta fitting for a team, who when transforming, transform into suits that look like more basic versions of their base uniforms...
In terms of actual implementation though, that is really where Powered Custom shines. The civilian powers really were well implemented anyway, and this just only further adds to that. I especially loved how they visually captured Hiromu's Powered Custom speed. Even if the finisher is kinda lame.
You'll see why Enter is a great villian soon enough
