[Fish Sandwich]

This was a nice episode. It served its purpose well in terms of warming me up to Tsurugi, even if I'm still quite grumpy he's stolen Geki Violet's catchphrase. I'm glad they're getting at least a little mileage out of the friction he has with the team, though we'll see how long that lasts. There was some good Plot stuff here and I like the slight ambiguity left to his backstory even now that he's told it. He's also got one heck of a robot! That whole sequence was one of those times where Sentai basically grinds to a halt to sell toys, but in the best way possible. I just hope they never need to launch that thing in a hurry. It's not the most efficient system.

And teasing Hiroya Matsumoto in the new ending is just cruel.

It's seriously shocking we're this far in and there hasn't even been like, a real scene with him, let alone a whole episode.
