Episode 4 actually. That is the one where Rio pulls out his hate on GekiRed and uses the Five Deadly Venoms as a throne (one of my favorite scenes from Geki).

I know right?

You'd think that after the third monster of the weak bites the dust, they'd be all "Hey, this isn't working out...lets change our plans."

Also, I'm surprised they kept getting Action masters. You'd think that after the fifth or third one they've hired, word'll get out fast that every single one hired by the Zangyaku to attack earth was killed.

I do agree that there should have been a syndicate of some sort as the staying power behind everything with Abrella as the final boss. But another way of seeing it is that Dekaranger was a homage to police dramas, following an omnibus format with a few episodes tying into the main plot for the series finale. I remember reading somewhere that aside from their names homaging various types of tea, each Dekarangers were based off sub-genres of police shows as well:
Dekared - Police action (Explains his hot-headed guns blazing attitude)
Dekablue - Hard-boiled noir (watch episode 37 of Dekaranger)
Dekagreen - Mystery (He is the brains)
Dekayellow - Special Investigation (Not just CSI, but supernatural investigations as well as seen with her ESP abilities)
Dekapink - Cop comedy (most of her episodes involve trading places with lookalikes, baby who is in danger, etc.)
Dekabreak - Buddy cop (Ace rookie who learns to play along and grows to be a team player)

See, I do not like police dramas, which is probably why I did not like DekaRanger that much. Now I will say, the series was not all bad. It started out really good, but after 20 episodes of nothing going on plot wise, it just lost my interest. I mean, there were some great episodes in the show, I did enjoy the DekaSwat modes, but the negatives outweighed the positives for me (especially Ban screaming at everything).
