Episode 11: From Beyond

Boy, if you thought episode 7 was insane, it has nothing on this episode.

No, really, things have escalated again, and in a much bigger and more crazy way than the climax of episode 7 did. The entire episode is like that!

Like... how do I even go about this? All I can really think to do is just give a recap, but like just with the climax of episode seven, this really is something you just kinda have to see in order to fully get, you know?

So uh, turns out that King Torture was actually secretly funded by a bunch of evil space aliens known as From Beyond, and all this time, Kaname, who is not just an actor but actually is Red Axe, has all this time been working to bring an elite group together to combat the alien threat.

This team is known as the Samurai Squad Flamengers, and he wants Masayoshi to be the leader and Red Ranger. Unfortunately for them though, the other four Rangers have already been killed off by a monster known as Ugly Toxic Poison, who causes people's' brains to explode via kisses. But fear not! Kaname calls in four back-up Rangers who were also chosen as Red to fill in the gaps!

They fight over who should be what color, with Masayoshi ultimately being Flamen Red. Turns out that the team is actually law themed too; Doing things such as using law books as a shield. Once Toxic Poison is defeated he goes big, so the Flamengers call on their animal-themed Zords to all combine into Flamen Robo, a parody of Combattler V. The city is totally wrecked in the process, but the Megazord quickly takes care of Poison and blows him up.

And worse than all of that, Masayoshi's' secret identity is out, which means Ishihara is PISSED!

Everything ends on a really funny bit was Mari, who correctly points out that because the Flamengers are a government organization, that means that their funding results in a big increase in taxes for the citizens.

I just... I really can't properly convey how this entire episode feels like it goes by at mach 1 and out of a near total blindspot.

And you now what, that in and of itself is brilliant, because that's how alot of Power Rangers seasons start.
