[TheGloryXros]

Yea, this Episode....umm.....NO......

So we start off very heartwarming with Champ's return....and don't get me wrong, I really liked this scene, and props to both Stinger and Champ's actors being able to really nail down this moment making it feel so heartwarming(really liked their back & forth banter like old times, but this time with some undertones of care for each other), but.....honestly, I really wish they kinda played up a bit on the possible consequences of Champ possibly not returning completely to his old self again due to his reboot. I'd have liked to see some time of Stinger reacting to how badly his mistake cost Champ, and for him to really have some time of reform. At the same time, we could work this as a mini-Arc of Champ slowly regaining his memories, until he finally becomes whole.

And know WHEN that mini-Arc should've ended....? A while later, definitely a couple Episodes down the line, around when the Scorpio conflict should be ending.....ya know, like THIS SCORPIO CONFLICT ENDED, EXCEPT NOT SO ABRUPTLY LIKE THIS EPISODE?!! MY GOSH, Kyuranger dropped the ball on such a good Arc! I didn't at all expect this Episode to be where Scorpio is actually defeated....but for them to not just stop there, but to make him all of a sudden flip good & defend his brother, after all the scumbaggery he's done all this time?! C'MON NOW.....Really?!!

And then let's talk about Ho-oh Soldier...........WUT. IS. THIS. GUY'S. DEAL. I....really don't know what to make of this guy. He comes off as a showoff who....can actually back up his words, given how he was almost singlehandedly able to ward off an entire fleet of Consumarz! (Now watch as later Episodes don't portray him with feats NEARLY as impressive as this....) But what bothers me the most about his introduction is.....just how abrupt it is. We barely know ANYTHING about him, and he doesn't even really interact with the team. He just comes out the Argos, destroys the fleet, and then leaves off to do his own thing? There's barely any context here on this guy......
