Gobus 37.

Tiararoid? Seriously? LAME. I don't even get what this one is trying to achieve. I mean all of these Messiah Metaroids have sucked so far, but at least the others had a clearly defined plan that made sense. This one is...ruining weddings? For what purpose? To research love? How are they doing that? Why has once main villain been reduced to a total joke? These Metaroids are an insult to our Majesty, Messiah. While we're at it, when does Enter actually do something? Still waiting for this "best sentai villain ever thing." Then again I never enjoyed Brajira even though I LOVED Goseiger.

On the flipside Escape was AWESOME in this episode. I know everyone just writes her off as fanservice - glorious fanservice - but I have also found her really fun. Yeah her weapons kinda suck, but the fights with her are usually well done and push the Busters to exciting limits - to this episode, the scene where Ryuuji forced himself to go berserk to fight her is favourite scene in the entire show.

Episodes like this really express why she is such an entertaining villain. From her wonderfully silly Bride in Black entrance that had her shooting a wedding to tatters. To a badass transformation, that has her spinning machine guns through the air while making sex noises as the camera captures a close up of her robo boobies. Although I feel much more sour on this show than I did for the first ten or fifteen or so episodes, I will always carry fond memories of Escape.

It was a pretty mixed back for the heroes as well. The episode was so focused on Yoko's appearance for huge chunks of it and I personally find her positively repulsive. Easily one of the least attractive sentai girls, right up there with old man in drag Kagura. But at least Kagura is actually a good character...

On the flipside though was Ryuuji and the Chief's comedy routine. It feels like a call back to when Gobus had good character focus. Those were the days. Why is it that sentai never seems to have a satisfying middle, ever?
