God the first half of the episode was awful from start to finish. From them trying to give a scientific reason to KyoryuGold's sword skills - only to then directly contradict it in the very same scene, and then again KyoryuGold's introduction and make it worthless that Daigo can block it on the first attempt and it becomes similarly worthless when you actually see it put in practice.

And then there is the long string of goofy practical gags like Amy's footsie skills, to the Violet Beauregard battery, to the fart battery to the infuriating announcer.

Luckily the second half was great minus the three instances I've already listed. I love how active the Commanders are in this show, even if they are mostly pretty rubbish, and it really did capture the chaos of an all out battle really well. This show has fantastic visuals, clearly a big budget and just some really imaginative people behind the camera. It was even better because Souji was an all round badass this episode, he really stood out despite it not being focused on him.

Plus this is our first trip out for Gold, who has one of the most AMAZING introductions I've ever seen. Even the horrendous dancing bends to pure badassery when it's done by him. It made me feel like a child again, the introduction of the sixth was always my favourite part of Power Rangers and KyoryuGold is so COOL.

It helps that Utchy has his own little kabuki styled dance rather than the narmtastic samba everyone else does. Feels like some feudal samurai ritual to get him pumped before heading off into battle.

Its just a massive shame that his jingle goes on to become garbled with the Gaburevolver one to become a horrible mess of noise.

It definitely fits with his character better, it could easily be something he does in his culture. The samba dancing on the other hand is just shittarded.

Not only is it not very good, it fits with neither the characters nor the theme of the show and perhaps the worst thing is like when Souji sneaks off to transform and still does the dance while hiding where no one is around. Why?

Later its explained that its a part of them connecting with the "Music of the Earth" and their bodies move automatically once the music starts, hence why they all know the dance as soon as they get the gun and dance even when noone is around.

Wow, sounds like some plot is on its way to come crashing out of left field then!

Megaranger 23

The last Episode before the Introduction of a new hero and we are presented with one of Sentais most beloved stock plots.

In this one Kenta finds a strange Egg that turns out to be a Nezire Monster and he raises it. The rest of the Episode is pretty predictable since there are alot of those structured Episodes in Super Sentai history.
It was pretty well done though. The Monster was really likeable and it didnt annoy me like others did in those kind of storys. You really got invested in the relationship Kenta and the Monster had so at the end when the story draws to its conclusion you buy that he would react the way he did.

Actionwise there isnt much in this Episode but the scenes that were present are really good. The last fight between Kenta and one of the other Nezire Monsters in this Episode is so bad ass an its really fun to watch.

Epilepsy put a damper on my ability to watch any episodes yesterday, but I haven't dropped it, yet.

If there's one major problem I have with it, it's the secret identity angle. The bulky braces that their sleeves do nothing to hide, the off kilter acting when it comes to talking about the Megarangers...It's just annoying. Yeah, it's not as bad as Clark Kent, but no one even bats an eyelash, which is what bugs me.

Don't worry. Plot doesn't happen till episode 21. You've got plenty of time to brace yourself.

Megaranger 24

So we finally got Mega Silvers introduction and its a pretty decent Episode.
We get Mega Silver riding around town with his Bike keeping taps on ther other Megaranger. The five heroes get involved with one of Yugandes Monters which has a device on its forehead that records all of the Megaranger attacks.
The Device is then installed into a similiar Monster and the Rangers have to fight it again but this time it is able to counter everything they through at it.

Its pretty obvious how the rest of the Episode will go once this idea is introduced. During the fight Mega Silver shows up and fights the new Monster. What I really liked was that the other Megaranger didnt just watch him fight but instead they take on Yugande.
Also after the Monster turns giant they are the ones that fight it since Mega Silver doesnt have a robot yet.

The fights in this one are really well done and Mega Silver has some pretty sweet moves. His weapon is pretty boss I gotta admit and I love his design.

For the introduction of a sixth Ranger it was pretty decent and I cant wait to learn more about this new character.

So MegaRanger has been completed by MFC:
