I didn't explain myself there very well at all, so to be a bit clearer, it makes me feel differently because:
- I find it silly these comically atypical heroes are so concerned about the etiquette of saying the proper catchphrase even when they're in a big hurry
- I find it silly that the show abruptly introduced the notion there even
is
a catchphrase for that 11 episodes in when we've seen them undo their transformations with no particular fanfare before
- I find it silly that the show introduces this super tokusatsu-y catchphrase, the kind that usually exists to make an action seem
cooler
, and then has the visual for it just be the Gears limply flopping out of the DonBlasters with an underwhelming sound effect. <-This one might be the biggest reason I found it funny.
Crucially, I also get the feeling from all of the above that the show was
trying
to play it as a silly moment. But yeah, I definitely overstated it a bit by acting like that's not a thing any toku hero would or should ever have period. (Although I've always thought "Put On" was sort of silly too, incidentally.) I like the point about this being a thing the kids at home can mimic, by the way! That's a really sweet way to think of it!
