I thought this one was just the ~slighest~ bit thinner of terms of having a plot that felt like it was trying to say something, but as an episode overall, it was very entertaining and still had a solid thematic core about teamwork.
And, yeah, Bulk and Skull. That's pretty much the perfect way to sum these guys up, and that's awesome. Like, you could seriously dub that music over all their scenes and it would fit perfectly. :lol |

Also, in the comics Bulk and Skull really do become rangers. The board game (which is terribly hard, but also quite good) includes them in an expansion. Behold the glory! https://boardgamegeek.com/image/4889...-character-pac |
Episode 8 "Music Battle"
The episode starts with Liu Bei and Gongsan Zan lamenting about their grocery situation when they hear music being played. And see a bunch of people including Mi Zhu mindlessly rocking out to Li Jue and Gou Si music. During the ensuing battle the two use their music to beat our heroes. Commenting on this Liu Bei and Gongsan Zan vowed to beat them. Back to the Fly Bros it’s revealed that the mysterious purple haired person(who I’m totally betting is Hua Tuo) put some sort of little chip on their instruments that excludes a dark aura that powers them up. https://i.redd.it/i3y4taajezf61.jpg https://i.redd.it/s74d53nrezf61.jpg https://i.redd.it/nhowwkvxezf61.jpg Liu Bei and Gongsan Sun try to sync up by relating back to their music choices and styles, but it doesn't really work out. Their plan now is to use headphones to block out the noise and Zhao Yun realises about the chips informing the two to destroy them. Mi Zhu tries to woo Gongsun again but the two rush out to fight the Fly Brothers again. But Mi Zhu receives the radio ad back in a CD due to the previous episode deciding to -play it all around the park to get people interested. During the initial fights the headphones work but by amping up their instruments. Just when all hope seems lost, the heroes hear the ad and this motivates them to fight on, eventually overpowering the two and destroying the instruments. The Fly Bros make a retreat and the episodes ends with the 3 going back to the dojo. * This episode is fairly light on a plot and more along continuing the idea that Liu Bei and Gongsan Zan need to work together. And that’s totally fine. It's still early on in the show, and it’s better get this out of the way early on. There are still new elements such as the dark chips and seemingly the Fly Bros are going to be recurring antagonists, and I’m excited to see where it all leads up to.* |
Yeah, just like the last one, I kinda think this episode was pretty light on substance. It's not doing anything particularly meaty in terms of plot or themes, but, as you said, that's not a huge deal-breaker this early in a series.
In a way, I guess it even sort of fits that the episodes introducing the shallow rockers are a lot of fun flash without too much deeper meaning? |
Isn’t it weird how both of our watch threads came to fairly dull episodes on about the same day?

I actually found this episode alot of fun, even moreso than the previous one, as it has a nice handful of good character moments in it. Bulk and Skull reaffirming that they're good friends and punching themselves in the face to Henshin, the personalities of Guan Yu, Zheng Fei, and Zhao Yun all playing off eachother when forming a battle plan, Liu Bei's' always dorky personality, and the biggest one for me, Mi Zhu running Liu Bei's' ad all around town. Sure, it was for a bit of a selfish reason, but it was still really nice for him to do, and it leading to a nice flashback scene ontop of being what gives our heroes the opportunity to save the day really just tied it all together for me.
