This episode was fine, but I find myself perplexed by the new toys. Like...what exactly was the idea behind making a new toy to use with the first mecha, after the final combination has been achieved? Like, realistically, how much are we even going to see Zyuoh King Octopus? My hope would be never, because I think it's ugly as sin, but I fear they'll have some more contrived circumstances to get them to use it. And it's not even compatible with Wild, so it's just...the most random, overly specialized new thing. It just feels really silly at this point though. Like it would have made more sense to make a new weapon for Wild Tousai Dodeka King. You know...somehow...with its little giraffe/mole arms. Orrrrr, a new cube for....

Zyuoh Bird. Oh Zyuoh Bird. Why. Why is it so ugly. Who thought it'd be a good idea to have the orange Eagle recolor have both gold and blue as secondary colors? I want to like it but it's such a hideously colored suit. I understand why they wouldn't have wanted to just have it all black like the core five, but making the visor/chest print/glove and boot thingies different colors where they're the same on the other Zyuohgers is just a bad move. At best, the gold on the gloves and boots should have been blue as well. But even so, the orange and dark blue really does look like someone just messed around with Zyuoh Eagle's colors with photoshop or something. It just doesn't look good. And there's no Cube Bird to help him, so I guess during mecha fights he's just gonna...sit around? Who knows.

Feel like they should have made Cube Condor orange or Zyuoh Bird purple. Maybe they'd be able to reuse it for the show.

But eh, not that it really matters. Episode really was fine but the new stuff just doesn't please me aesthetically. I'm not a fan of Zyuohger's designs in a general sense, but these are just...gonna take even longer for me to get used to. It's a good thing I like the show as much as I do.
