The whole support crew really shone in this one, but Commander went above and beyond. I like how contentious things are with him at the end of this episode, even though they?re all pulling in the same direction. He?s not there to be their surrogate dad or hapless patsy or goofy exposition dispenser ? he?s there to execute the mission, and the Busters are just a weapon in his arsenal. He will give them all the support necessary to win, but those victories are only in service of his objectives. There?s a nice parallel between him and Red in this one, even if I ended things wondering what exactly Ryuji?s problem was. (Is Ryuji not clear on chain of command? He?s the one who always seemed to get that there was a military hierarchy at play!)

While Ryuji is a cool professional, he's still a big bro as well, so of course he'd have a problem with Kurorin treating Hiromu as expendable like that. It's also a sign of Ryuji having a passionate side when he feels like something is morally wrong. Hiromu shows good leadership here by intercepting his punch though, he understands that it's not like Kurorin is the only one using them to get what he wants, as the Gobusters are using him to get what they want as well, so he makes it clear in a determined way that they're going to use each other. This is another unconventional thing about Gobusters, that they're not best buds with their mentor like you'd often see in other Sentai.
