Was an alright episode. I enjoyed Misao and Yamato's talk. It was nice, and Misao wasn't used for a punchline. I also loved Misao getting to use his super strength a bit.
We finally get a little bit on Bard, but still not much. Next episode seems to be tackling that. They certainly took their sweet time to get to it...Oh well. Zyuoh Bird is neat. I don't hate his colors. Orange and blue make a nice contrast.
The monster was neat. I could barely stand him, though. How embarrassing that this is the one that managed to beat him.

Cube Octopus seems like a pointless last minute addition. I reckon it'll go the way of Gosei Brother and just never appear again beyond one more token fight
