I'm beginning to wonder if Saban is keeping the random Sentai teams in as a shoutout to its source TV Show and to Sentai fans.

In all honesty I was liking this episode okay enough. Original footage. Good use of Sentai footage at some points. Successfully combined two episodes in one. Would've been my favorite so far, I think...then fucking Maskman suits showed up. UGH. REALLY?!

Also when is that scene of Argus beating up Troy gonna show up? Maybe when Vekar gets killed...

I'm worried about the rest of the season. And still no official name for Dairanger.

So instead of editing out Pink Flash and Yellow mask they just leave them in when they could have jest cut to Pink Timeforce and Yellow dino thunder respectively.....ya because that makes sense man what happened to creative editing in Power Rangers.

As much as I HATE the inclusion of sentai suits, what I hate more is the slapdash editing. Why bother to edit out sentai half the time? I don't get it, do all of them or none of them, it's so weird.

So as I'm watching these are my thoughts,
-still loving Vekar
-Jake like motorcycles?
-has Noah been telling the others about past teams and not showing them what they look like or something?
-i like cocky Troy, it suits him well.
-MMPR and LG morph, nice wasn't expecting either of them.
-They can be knocked out of super mega mode? well i do like that.
-Vekar is BLEEDING?! i was sure they'd cut that out! granted it's blue blood but still.
-Jayden was there then he left without a word, seems about good enough.
-MASKMAN!? WHY IS THAT HERE?! i was fine with Dairanger BUT THIS IS FROM YEARS BEFORE ZyuRanger/ MMPR! that scene should have been cut or reshot, no reason for it to still be in at all!
-at least them getting the samurai power is reasonable.
-i liked the bit at the end with Jake getting jealous, that was funny.
overall i did enjoy this episode. the Maskman powers showing up though had a huge negative impact on it for me however. just last episode they made sure not to include Jetman by making new footage, now they just through out this. nothing against Maskman but, Dairanger could at least be forgiven. there was a place for them to fit into the story if they ever tried explaining things, this is just lazy. I've been on saban's side with SMF up until now. I'm not going to stop watching, i'm just disappointed with this.

EDIT: Flashman was in this too?! how did I miss that?

"Maybe Saban is leaving them in as a nod to Sentai fans"
"A nod to the source material"

No.

Saban is leaving them in because they don't want to spend the money to shoot new footage. Plain and simple. When we can't even get proper homages to POWER RANGERS, why for the love of Zordon would they want to give proper homage to SUPER SENTAI?

We're not getting a Titanium Ranger morph.
We're not getting a Jungle Fury Spirit Rangers morph.

You know, American-only Power Rangers.

But we'll get the random-ass, "it's easier than shooting new footage" clip of a Super Sentai morph.

Aside from Saban and Tzachor being cheap and lazy, the episode was pretty good. But the whole "NEW POWERS" thing ... it's killing the season for me.

And maybe we'll get the GokaiRed/Decade Battle as a shoutout to the Kamen Rider series and its American fans.

That would be amusing. Decade as Monster of the Week.
