Episodes 34 and 35
It wasn't anything special, to be honest. It had a semi environmentalist message to it, but it wasn't inserted well. I don't quite know what this episode was going for, but eh. Daigo's episodes tend to focus more on protecting all life, plants included, so it makes some sense...This episode was just too fast paced and the cactus monster's gimmick was just a less interesting version of the puppet from way early on.

35 sees the return of Jin, the murderous martial artist. Making use of his new abilities and form, he's still up to his old ways, utilizing a spider technique to kill foes through fear.
He's a bit of a cheating bastard.
I really dislike that he can beat the other Dairangers no problem, and that Ryou is the only one on his level. I know Ryou went through training from hell, but it's kind of an insult to see the other rangers beaten so easily.
Anyway, Jin ultimately pulls the cliche "Only I can beat you" card and takes a bullet (Er...Cannon) meant for Ryou and dies/passes out. It's not really clear. What we do know is that Zaidos has abducted his body and plans on turning him into a puppet.
It was an okay episode, but rather weak compared to his introductory episodes.

EDIT: Episode 36.
The Kujaku arc continues, with it seeming that they've found the location of the Sacred Peacock Tear. However, it all turns out to be an illusion set up by a monster and Gara.
The plan was rather weak, basically relying on them being completely unable to focus their ki, but I guess since it was specifically set up to trick the weakened Kujaku, I guess I'll let it slide.

Really though, the part that made the episode interesting was seeing both sides of the coin when it comes to Kujaku and Gara's past. We learn that Gara was a former Dai member who defected to the Gouma tribe, as well as how Gara got her scar (That she can totally hide with her powers), protecting Kujaku from a rain of stone bricks.
At first we're presented that Gara is a vain bitch who was angry because the scar ruined her looks, and Kujaku, wanting to repay her for protecting her, became the avatar for the king of peacocks to use a method to heal her.
However, we soon learn that Gara was angry for an entirely different reason. She didn't care about the scar as long as she had her valued friend by her side. But with Kujaku leaving to learn and train to heal her, she lost that friendship and grew embittered, thinking she was abandoned. It's always interesting to see how one story can split in two ways, and this one was certainly interesting.

In the end, Kujaku still needs the Peacock Tear and they're no closer to finding it, putting them in a predicament.
However, we now know Gara is a former Dai Tribe member, which is pretty neat. I'm certainly intrigued in how Kujaku's story arc continues.
