Kyouryuuger 44 released

I can't remember much about the episode besides the bad guys got really strong and Luckyuro got fired. Kind of a set up episode for the big battle to come.

Not really following the Dantetsu betrayal story arc either. Guess we'll have to see how that turns out.

Do the kids today even know what a record player is? Why doesn't Deboss upgrade and get an mp3 player?

Any later episode that requires a full roll call plus multiple transformation calls usually sets off warning bells in my head that they were trying to lengthen without too much effort.

This episode really felt like a big, boring set-up for the last few.

The only thing that stuck out is that Luckyuro is the only one to get dismissed even though Candelira and Aigallon have pretty much been completely replaced now.

Also Chaos is a goober

As someone who loves the soundtracks that are created for the various tokusatsu shows, I loved the fact that Deboss was being powered up by the show’s background music.

I’m shocked that everyone escaped a battle like that without injuries. The attacks launched were pretty brutal.

Has Ucchii ever used that Triple Strike attack before? I didn’t remember it, but it seemed strange to debut it so late in the season without any build-up.

I don't get the point of telling Luckyuro he's fired if he's still allowed in the Castle with everyone else.

I too found the lack of damage to their helmets and suits after the fight a little odd... But they are probably saving all that for later. I found the record player design a little creepy. It seemed like something out of a Junji Ito manga. Who does the voice for Deboss? It sounds familiar but I can't place it.

Poor Luckyuro! Won't be able to see that movie and lost his job... I'm secretly hoping he tries to help the Kyouryuugers as pay back.

Looks like Deboss is done by Ohkawa Tooru

I'm just amused that it says he's the JPN dub voice for Regular Show's Benson...
Makes me think of stuff like this...

Well that was an okay episode. The Kyouryuugers certainly got their butts handed to them, but Sauce is right in that this episode was mostly setting things up. As a stand-alone episode it would need a bit more meat to it to make it remarkable on its own.

And I don't know why they don't just show King Sr, unless they couldn't get the actor for this episode. It's obviously him.

So Deboss finally joins the stage, it's funny that he sounds younger than Chaos.

Luckyuro getting fired wasn't unexpected, but he shocked face was hilarious :mrgreen:
Funny that Chaos fired him yet he didn't kick him out of the Frozen Castle.

Other than the good guys getting total beat, they seem to have turned the show into a battle of music, Deboss Army never used or relied on it this much before.

Not really following the Dantetsu betrayal story arc either. Guess we'll have to see how that turns out.
Just my speculation on this,
Spoiler
I'm thinking Dantetsu knows or strongly suspects that Daigo is the real King, and joining up with Deboss is either a "Son, prove you're stronger than me" thing, or he's actually jealous of the fact that Daigo is the King. The former is the more likely, I think, since Dantetsu hasn't really behaved in a way that makes me think he'd be mad that Daigo is the king. That said, based on the preview, he's going about it in a fairly drastic manner, isn't he?

This new masked duo really makes me think they're budget ran out; they haven't had a new monster since Christmas.

Good set up episode, especially since I love the Deboss music.

Spoiler
If that's what in the preview, Deboss' true form is pretty awesome. But we'll probably talk more about that next time.
