Some of that disappointment is pure fan-expectation: I'd assumed that Zyuranger, Abaranger, and Kyoryuger being absent would be a plot point... Nope. At this point, I'm assuming they just didn't want to remind the audience just how often they've done dino Sentai.

The Ryusoulger bits tended to be the worst part of each episode. In the midst of a Sentai series finally freed from selling toys, we had to... stop everything to sell toys. I wonder if Green and Black were included because they don't appear at the start of Ryusoulger?

I guess I loved Saikyou Battle in part because it felt kind of like a much more satisfying Sentai Taisen movie. It was fun! It was terrific to see all the returning actors. I can't believe they made me like Takaharu, but they did. I loved that we got Luka in addition to Captain Marvelous. Rather than a stalling tactic, this miniseries felt like a love-letter to Sentai fans.

I do kinda hope that elements of the series will crop up in Ryusoulger. They seemed to be leaving the door open for Gaizorg's return. There certainly seemed to be some untold story there. Maybe a redeemed Rita, as well? Maybe in an upcoming Sentai movie.

denziman was also absent outside of Marvelous gokai changing into denzired, with the zyuranger throwbacks it makes it obvious it was meant to be a reference to queen hedrian as a tribute to the actor, at least probably. i'm going to say its purposeful exclusion for fans to figure out, rather than anything else.
