Aw man, this was sweet. As much as it kinda sucks to have the villains be total bores the whole show, it admittedly makes it that much more of an event when they actually do something for once. I dig Kubar's scheming and how Genis plays him right back, and even more than that I dig how the whole plot this episode is completely out of the Zyuohger's hands. It's a great way to make to make the stakes feel higher.

And hey, they even remembered all the other robots exist! I'm really curious why the last fourth or so of the series suddenly decided to care about shilling old toys when the rest of it was unusually aggressive about not using anything other than the newest combination, but given how much I apparently care about this (seriously, it comes up like every week I post lol), I can't complain.

If I really need to reach for a complaint, the twist with Fake!Micchan was telegraphed pretty dang hard, but honestly, that's small potatoes. Next week looks cool too, though the idea of Yamato meeting with some doctor who was apparently important in his past just makes me think of how Ex-Aid did basically the same thing with Emu a week ago.

And I guess Azald's cubist design is actually a plot thing?! Easy now, Zyuohger, I might start thinking your villains are interesting if you keep this up.
