Episode 6: Capture Samumenco!

Know what's funny? This was just kind of an average Toku episode.

Harazuka up there notes how Samurai Flamenco is always on the defensive, and as such the R&D Department of his company develops weapons for SF to use.

But these aren't just any weapons, no. They're all Office Supplies, so they're completely legal to use! Stuff like Stapler Nunchucks to pin baddies to flat surfaces, glued gloves to scale walls with, and a tape measure to do grapple swings.

Samurai Flamenco basically becomes Office Worker Spider-Man and I love it! He also updates his gear to include some light body armor, but sadly goes back to his old bike helmet rather than using the one his grandfather left him last episode; Such a shame.

I also liked the setup that the plot of the episode had, where the increase in Flamenco's' bounty causes and entire city to begin hunting him down, all while the media not only feeds off the chaos the event generates, but helping to fuel the flames in the first place by filling social media with artificial hype. Paid shills are very much a thing, guys.

Oh, Mari also ropes her two fellow idols into becoming Flamenco Ruby and Flamenco Sapphire, but who cares about that. The important part is that Mari tries to put the moves on Goto and he outright tells her to begone like an absolute chad.

But yeah no this was just kind of a straight up parody of your average Toku episode with some light commentary on media exploiting others for profit.

So, since I ended off last post with the OP, have the ED.

It's certainly catchy, but nothing super special if you ask me. Still, I've heard far worse, so it gets a pass from me.

By the way, did you know that every episode has an after-credits scene? They typically don't further the plot in any big way, but they do contain fun interactions with the cast, so I like watching them.

This episode overall was just fun, really.
