[Sh Ranger]

Wow, I'm surprised how little discussion this episode is getting, even outside the forum. Guess I'll go first. The first thing I noticed was how pretty it was, with a lot of scenes near the river on a bright day. Very vista. It's also a sweet story about guest of the week Yuna's regret of throwing away her customized doll. Flint gets half of the focus and some rare hero points, as she selflessly resolves to help the girl without expecting any reward. Magine gets the other half and honestly, I think this is her best focus episode since maybe her introduction. It really shows how she has become a lot more courageous and determined. I have to commend her resourcefulness, with how she deliberately got Yuna affected by Daikon Wald's power so the doll would come to her. Risky and extreme, but as expected from a chaotic person like Magine, it paid off and I'm impressed that she didn't even need to use magic other than her broom for transportation. I think it's very important to appreciate the value of sentimental attachment, so these two heroines doing so much to help this girl get a second chance was pretty inspiring.

Daikon Wald's power seems very contrived. I haven't seen the sub yet, but I get the feeling it's not going to shed much clarity on why daikons attract disposable items. It worked for the plot though and after Kaki Wald's homonym powers, it's way too late for me to start complaining about something like this. I'm keeping my disbelief suspended. Ironic how the guy who turns in to a dump truck gets stuck with all that trash. Poor Vroon. He always seems to get the bad luck when it comes to Walds.

The Magiranger Gear had an unexpected effect as well. Anyway, that just leaves Gokaiger and Kyoryuger. I'm starting to wonder if the show is intentionally saving the most financially successful for last, cause it seems weird that they haven't been used yet. But maybe the staff are hoping they will increase the merchandise sales in Q4. Does that sound plausible?
