Episode 34: The World's Biggest Umbrella

Ryukendo really is peak whenever it embraces craziness.

Because really, the idea of a giant umbrella being the main opponent just sounds stupid on paper, but is made incredibly fun here.

Kobashiri the cop is the main character of this one, with his jealousy of God Ryukendo being the main catalyst for creating the dreaded Demon Umbrella, which in turn has the power to infect others with extreme jealousy.

And yeah, Kobashiri himself is a rather likable character! Kenji says it best himself, that Kobashiri's' determination is admirable. Combine that with an intro straight out of something from GARO(in that it imitates old movies), and the new Burning Ryukendo form, which has one of the coolest finishers in the show?

Yeah, I had alot of fun with this episode. From the public domain music to the various character interactions throughout the episode, this was just a great ride from start to finish, and is a great example as to why I love tokusatsu as a medium. I'm excited to see what other upgrades Ryukendo, both the show and the superhero, have in store.
