Honestly though, those were some of my favorite parts of the show. Mangetsu showed up pretty late and didn't push much forward aside from being the catalyst for Gengetsu's resurrection, but it was a much more enjoyable arc than a lot of the other ones. The "game" filler episodes were also my favorite ones; it was a nice change of pace from the normal "monster shows up, beat the crap out of mooks before you beat the crap out of the monster" formula that has been around since...the beginning.

I agree with the rest of your post though, there was a ton of potential that just didn't do anything. However I don't really expect much from the plot of a Sentai, so I wasn't too upset.

Best part of the episode.
