I definitely think this would've benefitted from being a full film, rather than a special. The plot with the new kid moves at breakneck pace, and while it's easy to understand, it just doesn't have enough time to really grip you. Also Junior returning but not turning into Gashadokuro. C'mon now.

Still, I loved it. Seeing this group of goobers grown up and actually functioning members of society was fantastic, and the transformation joke was on point. The new yokai designs were sweet (I love Kamaitachi), and it felt like a nice return to form for the Kakurangers (I did find it odd that both this and Abaranger 20th used the theme of the internet creating hatred for the villains powers, though)

Also, good lord the cameos. A good chunk of returning characters, toku actors from other series, and even the suit actors for Ninja Red and White in minor roles (Also Tsumuri's actress from Geats, which was cute to see)

A shame that the Rokuro/Ninja Green idea was shelved once more. Other than that I am glad this is a thing.

Godoka, I love this show so much. I'm going to miss it so much.

All hail Genta Umemori, mediocre sushi chef and reverse-engineering god of the mystic arts of mojikara.
