Good to see someone else getting into my favorite Toku. Criminally underrated.

A couple of notes. While I'm not familiar with the source material, this whole things is apparently based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. To the point where you can guess some plot developments if you know the original. Marcosatsu did a review of this explaining this all. Don't watch it until you are done though.

The other note is that this show plays a lot with the idea of dreams and how they affect a person. With the first two episodes, we saw that a bad person can do bad things in pursuit of a dream that is in itself good, while these latest two showed us a person driven to be bad by a dream that is by its very nature bad to. We will continue to see other variations of this theme throughout, so I won't expand further. In this, it is similar to Kamen Rider OOO, although it takes a different spin on things.
