Yeah, it's a shame we haven't had a US-unique power up since Samurai, but at the same time, considering the Red-Only power ups Sentai has been doing all look like Battlizers anyway(and were likely inspired by them), I understand why they stopped bothering.

I probably do hate the original Megaforce basically as much in terms of sheer boredom but it's just that Goseiger beating Megaforce is kind of not saying much in my view(though harsh) whereas for me I just really was not expecting Boukenger to be adapted in that way when I was a teenager!

Personally, while I do agree that Boukenger is an overall better show, Overdrive has little gems in it that make it really stand out, like this episode. You can tell the team on PROO was really trying to make something fun and unique, but it just didn't work out for various reasons.

Yeah, Ninja Steel actually handled that specific aspect in a really cool way, I felt. But we'll get to that later.

But other than that, the Red Sentinel Ranger is probably one of the best Battelisers, mostly for how unlike most of the others, it doesn’t get overpowered or forgotten by the time of the finale (though that battle is a whole other can of worms, for reasons I cannot fathom).

I'd have to really think about what my favorite Battlizer is, but yeah, Red Sentinel Ranger is definitely up there!
