The big deal for it is the appearance of Twokaiser, whom I found to be? fine. Diend casts a long shadow for any interdimensional tokusatsu thief, and Twokaiser definitely doesn?t challenge for that title off of this single appearance. He?s classically dismissive about suggestions of heroism, and he exists at a baseline of Untrustworthy. He doesn?t add a ton to the group dynamic (almost all of the problem-solving comes from Touma and Kento), and his initial scenes are the best the character got for me. He did the minimum of both selling his character traits and not getting completely overshadowed by a more beloved cast (of mine, anyway), so I don?t harbor any ill will against him or anything. He was okay, for an episode.

Yohohoy!

When it comes to interdimensional Tokusatsu thieves, I actually prefer Zox to Kaito (Daiki, not Goshikida). Zox is entertaining, he dances before his morphs and form changes, he has a good singing voice, he loves his younger siblings and unlike Kaito, he's not a yandere. I second what others have said though, it's a lot easier to appreciate how cool he is when he has the rest of the Zenkaigers and Goldtwoikar family to interact with. Zenkaiger Episode 20 is a Zox focus, so maybe you'll be able to appreciate him more soon.

Gaim and ToQger alongside Drive and Ninninger are harmlessly fun specials with some nice gags. Ghost and Zyuohger while sticking to separate episodes, made the most out of not having a special by doing having an A and B-Plot separating some of the cast into a mini-crossover.

I think you're being a little dismissive by calling them harmless. You know Toei had to stall Super Hero Time to accommodate these "Spring Gattai" specials, right? I specifically remember in Drive, when I was getting excited for the big debut of Deadheat Burst Mach, only to find out there was a crossover first and I'd have to wait a whole damn fortnight to see Deadheat Burst Mach. I was pretty ticked off about that.

So when I heard there'd be a Zenkaiger/Saber crossover, a year after enduring that terrible 6 week hiatus, I was even more ticked off. Fortunately, it only stalled Saber, since this special is basically an extra long Zenkaiger episode. I could tolerate that and I didn't think it turned out too bad.

Ideally, I would prefer that they stick to the Zyuohger/Ghost and Kyuranger/EX-Aid format, where the crossovers are limited to subplot and thus don't intrude on each other's stories, rather they attempt to enrich the morals of those stories, although I agree that Zyuohger/Ghost had better execution.

But I hope you can understand that while you may consider these specials fun and have the right to enjoy them as much as you want, they do have collateral damage for people who look forward to the show and don't want unnecessary tangents, for the same reason people don't like recaps.

In that case, I will cast Asanuma Shintarou to voice the role of Sh Ranger.
