So far, there was only 1 power up that only Red could use(not counting Abarangers cos abare mode), and even then, it was done in a way that other rangers weren't just laying on the ground helplessy everytime Carnival was used. Also, it won't be passed around, Sky otomonin is red, and suit design changes completely liek carnival, it's not like TQG gold train shoulders, or shinkengers cloth. Also, it will take some times before we'll see them riding mechas together, cos i assure you for first few battles, Takaharu will be the only one jumping in this thing.
Oh, there are some good thingies in this ep but, new char, new mech...That preview completely killed my remaining faith in this show....Think bout Kyuemon secret, think bout Kyuuemon secret, pull throu this.....
Oh, and....He just contacted him via internet and he made him mechas.....Like, total bs? Yeah, they realyy don't give a damn....

Agreed. The way he stoops is very monkey-like. The only thing that makes him look like a lion is his face (and even that's a stretch).

2, maybe 3 actually.
-> Zyuranger had Geki get Burai's Dragon Sheld and dagger making "Armed TyrannoRanger".
-> Abaranger had Ryouga get "AbareMax" and the first time it's used, Yukito and Ranru were laying on the floor since the transfer drained their "Dino Guts". Spoiler
They get past it, though
; also, others could use his "MaxRyuOh" mecha.
-> If you count Magiranger vs. Dekaranger as canon, Ban could use the SPD battilizer (sp.) as Fire Squad gear.
I guess the reason why Saika Tetsunosuke received Kinji's request of making Rodeomaru is because Kinji possessed Rodeomaru's blueprint. He wouldn't just create an OtomoNin out of nowhere for a stranger over the Internet like that, does he? Otherwise some smart villain could have just ordered an OtomoNin like Kinji does......
And finally a Youkai that really knows how to counter the team wholly including the OtomoNin. As for why ShishiOh rejects the team, I have a hunch that Spoiler
it is about him wanting the Ninninger to see him as a friend instead of a tool like the other OtomoNin. It will explain why he drinks during the day and just laze around. Typical trope of Sentai
... Cannot believe I'm dwelling on this but... The Lion spirit looks too much like most people's version of Son Goku/Sun Wukong... He looks like a monkey to me, and I doubt I'll see him as anything but a monkey king, especially the way he fought. Heck at that point all he was really missing was the bo-staff... ah well, still a fun episode.

Rewind...why did the Saika Tetsunosuke part get dropped immediately upon finding the drunk? Why the backstory if he's just part of the scenery? Plus, that was the most deadpan "This is hot. I'm on fire."
Ugh...I may have to eject from Ninninger soon and come back to it later once there are a bunch of episodes built up. It seems like marathoning the more bland Sentai episodes makes them a little better, I'm hoping that applies. I just cannot get into the series even though I want to.

My amazing powers of prognostication (read as: random ideas pulled from my posterior) are telling me that they upgrade will either be permanent like the upgrade to the foot soldiers or will be busted out periodically as needed for future upgrades Spoiler
what with magazine scans revealing a second main mecha in the offing

I will admit that when I saw him my first thought was Son Goku as well.
