More like the Kiryu Sento method. And yeah, I'm relieved to finally get closure on this debacle. I feared losing faith in the show if they pretended nothing was different, so it's nice to know they care about maintaining our suspension of disbelief. Sumino's undercover investigation is good material for fanfic writers as well.

I didn't think about it at the time, as I was caught in the moment, but sure, that's a good comparison. Ribbon's arc was short, yet dramatic. First I loved her, then I kind of hated her and now I'm sad for her. Feels like this is Gozyuger's equivalent to the Skebows scene. Inoue lures you in to a sense of security with the comedic subplot and then crushes your heart.

Not like Rikuo meant to damage the Ayaser's escape circle, but I can totally understand why Bouquet would become disillusioned with her idol after that. Fire Candle is ticked off as well to lose another one of his comrades and likely regrets not getting to know her better.

I think Shida just needs a little more time to adapt to the role, which is fair enough. Hopefully when the Oto subplot resumes, she'll get serious and act more like the Sumino we know and not so much like Kitou which was probably only done here for meta comedy.

Even though he worked at a haunted house in Episode 15 and dated a ghost in 19. I guess there needs to be a character scared of ghosts in a haunted house episode, but Hoeru, seriously?!

Ninja Red is hiding like a true Kakuranger.
