Here though, Don Momotaro is being viewed from a distance, his antics being viewed from the perspectives of other characters. As a result, the character has this kind of larger than life feel. Given the design inspirations too, it makes him narratively and aesthetically feel almost like a folktale hero of sorts.
Yeah, absolutely. It took me a bit of thinking to catch on to how big it is that we see two different people (including Haruka) explicitly get
weirded out
by the overly dramatic way Tarou talks. I'd be willing to take a personality that quirky at face value for a Sentai leader, so it's neat that the show highlights how big the gap between him and your average person actually is... especially because making him seem crazier also makes him seem
cooler.

"and now here's the red ranger being carried in on a litter and preceded by a parade of dancing girls, like one does."
Very little of it makes sense, but it does so in a way that's extremely captivating.
I think I'd be actively upset if that was one of the things that gets an explanation! He's Don Momotaro! It's a festival!
What more do you seriously want to know???

...And now you and Super Sentai finally have a bond! An occasion that calls for celebration, if ever there was one!
But really, I think the celebration is just how good this episode was? Having watched it a third time now, and seeing everyone else in the thread gelling with this show's mad style, I'm gonna go ahead and call it right now --
you picked a good one, Die.
Speaking from experience, when your favorite toku writer helms a Sentai with cool sunglasses following an anniversary series, it's a wonderful thing!
Donbrothers was fun enough already, but if I get to read your thoughts on it every week too, it's even more of a party.
