That certainly explains the writing style of the subs I'm using for the show(Bereke Scrubs).

And iirc they aren't allowed to use actual explosive effect, hence those sparks effects here.
Yeah, their idea of an explosion is just copypasting fire effects everywhere, but ya know, the reliance on sparks instead is something I actually really dig, as it gives off the same vibe as classic
Power Rangers

Regarding Ray having an adopted family, this is such a contrast compared to most of Indonesian TV shows, which typically has the step-parents being utterly evil bastard who abuse their kids to no end (like Faiz's Yuka family), but here, the adopted family live in harmony.
That's actually a really cool detail. There's still a stigma against adoption even today, so having a show that portrays it in a positive light is really nice to see.

sometimes just outright mocking any other aspects (because they just hate and nitpick anything made in the country, inlander mentality to think anything foreign is better).
That's unfortunately a mindset that I've noticed is fairly common in the Toku fandom at large. There's alot of double standards people hold between American Toku and Toku from Japan, for example. And it's incredibly easy to come across no matter what you're comparing, it seems, though obviously
PR
vs
Sentai
is the most immediate point of comparison.

It's cool to see you giving the Satria franchise the recognition it deserves!
While the show does take a few episodes to refine the formula, which I think is fair, the first episode does a good job to introduce the setting and characters and create intrigue for the story. Ray and the Iskandars are likable and have a strong family dynamic. For VUDO, Rasputin is certainly a generic evil dude, but honestly, the villain to keep your eyes on is Topeng Besi, who has Power Stone Biru in his gauntlet. Seperti Bintang is an awesome OP for sure!
Yeah, I think I recall you talking about the franchise at one point or another, alongside another user(who I can't remember at the moment, sorry!). Nice to know you really dug it, and I hope to get a similar experience.
