Introducing the one PR exclusive suit that worked its way back into Sentai. Specifically, the Battelizer saw use in Magiranger vs Dekaranger as a new power up for Deka Red know as “Battelise Mode”. Though the transformation and finisher stock footage were both reshot, I assume for some bizarre copyright reason.

And this two parter is in the weird position of being a direct adaptation of the Sentai episodes, and not being at the same time. The major differences.

The two-parter was focused on Omega’s counterpart DekaBreak, down to the dead parents backstory motivator (which is why Sam is the last man standing and there’s a pointed shot of him smashing Mirloc’s mirrors).

The reason “Mirloc” is in regular prison is because he’s trapped 10,000 people in his mirror world and heave no idea what will happen to them if they use the usual methods on him. After smashing his mirror frees everyone he trapped ever, the Rangers have the go ahead to judge and defeat him.

And during part 2, it’s revealed that “Slate” was hired by “Mirloc” to force SPD to send someone to consult him, with him anticipating they’d send the member whose parents he’d killed so he could make him cry and use the reflection in his tears when that memory was brought up to escape.

And the reason “Broodwing” just happens to have the DNA for several past villains to provide for this plan in Dekaranger is because he has them sign his contracts with fingerprints.

As for some other thoughts.

Slate is such a copycat criminal that even his robot is a straight reuse of Devastation’s, with none of the usual repaints that other reused robot suits get.

The reason the robot in part 2 looks feminine (which seems like an odd choice for a non-sentient mecha) is because the costume was modified from B-Robo Kabutack’s heroine Tentolina.
