In fact, the episode was quite good. Very dramatic, even melodramatic in places. Finally, Hikaru was developed, albeit in such a cruel way. But, by the way, Revise was never afraid to kill characters (does this mean that the world will be rewritten again in the finale?). It even played into the hands of Hikaru becoming Rider. After all, he wanted a belt, because he could not do anything without it, but it turns out that even with a belt he is still not able to protect a person dear to him. Cruel.
Of course, Kinoshita is in his repertoire: girls console crying boys. And if this was in the subject with Sakura and Hikaru, then the scene with Hana and Tamaki is clearly superfluous. I still think that Tamaki needs to save the former queen of the deadmen in order to move on in his own way. Daiji of course quickly switched to active villain. But his motivation... In short, it's Michi from Gaim, if he was really stupid. It is strange that he is so surprised by the reaction of people when he himself is not able to explain why Giff needs to submit. Or rather, it's the show's fault for not showing off a strong enough main antagonist. About Kagero: for some reason it seems to me that his ghost follows Daiji with a constant facepalm. But still, I liked this episode much more than the previous ones and I look forward to continuing. Last edited by Mesnick; 06-15-2022 at 08:32 AM.. |

This was a good episode... Except for one thing. Daiji.
I said it before, I'll say it again. They really butchered Daiji in the last few episodes. Even if he mistook Ikki for Akemi's death, I fail to see why he'd become obedient to Akaishi, the sole person he swore to take down, and led to Akemi's fate in the first place. Maybe they are trying to get the Daiji becomes Kagerou angle, but I'm not buying it. What they're trying to accomplish isn't bad, but it just doesn't feel right. Rant over. Seeing how the two sides use phycological warfare was very reminiscent of some of the war themes Build was going for, and seeing (some) development for Weekend, like Hikaru was very nice to see. The little scene with George and Hiromi was nice, and Vice being concerned with Ikki was pretty good. Just the central plot about Daiji failed to land for me. Next Episode: Prepare to Dai. |

I suddenly thought that Revice is very in vain does not use the ability to copy the final form. In the previous episode, it was clear from the different behavior of the Vice clones that they were not just repeating the movements of a copy, like the Wizard. Therefore, it was quite possible to leave some of them to protect the shelters, some to send to patrol the city, and deal with Daiji themselves. Then maybe no one would have died in this episode. And, most importantly, you wouldn’t even have to spend money on CGI, because you just had to shoot all the same Ikki and Vice in different locations. Although, maybe I just misunderstood the cloning mechanism.

Rather amusing the Daiji is essentially acting like a Inoue written character when Inoue is writing a show where he isn't doing his usual writing.

In my opinion, they either needed to make a more trusting relationship between him and Akaishi, or better show the power of Giff. Because in the end, Daiji himself can't explain why humanity should give up.

To be fair, the Donbrothers aren't even halfway through yet. It always seemed to me that Inoue, when he started filming the show, had no idea how it would end. For me personally, endings have always been the weakest point of his series.

is Don Brothers any good I quit Sentai early into Kyuurranger honestly is it bad I think they got Inoue back because they thought "he saved the franchise once he can do it agian" cause I'm told LuPat/Ryusoulger almost killed the franchise

555's ending arc basically tanked the show for me (despite killing off the worst character in the franchise in the most karmaic way possible) Last edited by Mmicb0b; 06-16-2022 at 05:44 PM.. |

You really should check out Kiramager. It’s a very solid Sentai series.
