I kind of loathed this episode for the first 10 minutes.

Two reasons...

1) I find Ninja Grandpa insufferable. I am not charmed in the slightest by that guy. He gives me Magiranger vibes, which, just, no-- please, no!

2) The actor who plays Takaharu/AkaNinger is objectively terrible. I know sentai actors usually get better after a few episodes, but this guy... he worries me. I kind of hate looking at his dumb face, and that might become problematic. But who knows? Maybe I'll come around.

That said, I got REALLY into the episode once it started being about Yakumo. That guy -- and the actor who plays him -- is awesome. A lot of Sentai series are scared of having their heroes come into conflict with each other, and I'm glad to see that Ninninger won't be one of those. The teams are always better when the members don't get along 100% of the time.

One last thing: Shurikenjin Drago is baller.
