Gobus 34. I hate this goofball shit.
Jin and J seem to play victim to the worst aspects of the 'sixth ranger' trope and the show seems to be playing it on the nose, in an attempt at self aware humour, but that doesn't make it okay, it makes it worse. Especially so in a show that attempts to really stand out and break free from some of the most tired sentai trappings. I have heard people say things like "Jin and J saved the show!" but this is like Beast all over again, how can you honestly say these tacked on extra heroes are better than the core cast? I just don't see it.
Typically the episode had solid action. Hiromu was always pretty badass, and has been a solid red throughout although somewhere along the way his characterisation started to vanish and he seemed to primarily become a weapon. This is problematic, but honestly seeing just HOW badass he's become in the last twenty or so episodes almost makes it hard to care he isn't that much of a character.
It's kinda odd, but the more I think about it, the more I realise how much of a problem that is for the show. The chemistry between the cast is solid, and for the most part the world is solidly built even if it isn't perhaps as deep as you could want but I just remember how strong characters Yoko, Ryuuji and Hiromu were for the first ten or fifteen episodes, and although it isn't quite Kyoryuger levels, what happened? You'd think given what transpired before the Gavan two parter this'd be the perfect time for some great character moments but if anything I feel like the characters have only become blander.
These Messiah Metaroid's really are very underwhelming though, firstly was the ground one who was goofy and that to me is automatically shit. But then they hyped up the Megazord situation so much, but in the end two Megazord's appearing at the same time wasn't actually that big a deal at all.
After the fight between Hiromu and Jin was done the episode just sorta fizzled out, despite having just under ten minutes left where it just kept going, and going.... yawn.
