[Xtreme RX]

While the story was nothing to write home about, the overall feeling I got from watching this four part special was pure glee. There were a lot of callbacks and references that just made me happy to see as a long-time fan. Tons of fanservice too.

I like how Stinger got his big scene in with him relating to Rita's backstory, though the use of his insert song from Episode of Stinger was a little heavy-handed. This kinda leaves Takaharu without a big moment but at least everyone else got great representation. Luka got a sizeable role and had a great out-of-suit fight, as did the rest of the main cast. Bummer that Rita ended up having an inconsequential relation to Dai-Satan and Zyuranger history, but the reference was fun regardless.

Loved the final battle against Dai-Satan with all the Rangers turning into their super modes, but the transition between the CG flying scene to the slow-motion practical explosions was a little jarring. Gorenger finisher was awesome.

The Ryusoul Black and Green debut fight against Gaisorg was phenomenal. Fantastic choreography, high-energy, and the use of the opening theme was hype asf. I also like that it gives the early-bird cameo spotlight to non-red Rangers, and I have a feeling the two will be fan-favourites when Ryusoul finally debuts next week.

Overall, a strong finale that left me smiling.
