Wait, the robot form of Lion Ha-oh purposefully exposes the pilot? Isn't that the opposite of what armor is supposed to do?
Soooo... it looks like they're doubling down on making Takaharu special... without really doing anything to make the audience like him more. It's obvious that the characters in the show like him, but turning them into his personal cheering squad as he does everything doesn't necessarily make the audience like him more. It just exacerbates the problem of Takaharu's character. Shishioh is already a less interesting character for his interaction with Takaharu.
Riser Guren, is that you?
I like the new suit. It's been a while since I've really liked a new power-up form like that. Shame it's wasted on Akaninger, a character that's already got an uncomfortable gap between him and his other sentai members.
Neat. Kyuuemon totally lied about not knowing about Lion Ha-oh. I wonder what he's up to. Tsugomori, I'd watch my back if I were you.

I wonder if Tsugomori is aware that Kyuuemon lied about that. It would make for some very interesting interactions between the two.

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
So... after learning about each members' strength and weaknesses, what did Red boy do? Tell Blue and Pink to stand aside and everyone else to swarm the MOTW... That is not utilizing everyone's strength.
And then he goes on to don the power-up armor and wasted the MOTW alone... nice team work there... I'm glad the rest of the team decided they're not background props and help out a little at the end, or I'll be so mad.
By the way, what happened to full team power-ups? This is the third single power-up in a row, and worse that it looks like it's a Red-wearable only

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
Ughhhhhh. Usually I get so pumped for the power-ups but this is just so ... ugh. I mean, they seem to be embracing the fact that Takaharu is an idiot, good for them, but they still need to figure out that stupidity is not an endearing character trait. I can't get invested in anyone because they don't have enough screen time because they're too busy letting Red flail about.
I really don't know whether to blame the writing or the actor, obviously there is far too much of an emphasis on Red in the script, but I don't feel like the actor is really trying either.

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
Yeah, the over focus on Red is still grating. I almost wish it had just been Kasumi and Yakkun along with Star-san. The writers don't seem to want to do anything with Nagi and Fuuka and Takaharu is hogging all the screentime while not developing or changing much and not being all that interesting to begin with. I like the powerup suit. It looks pretty cool and not too silly or overdone like the Power Rangers battlizers usually do. Ideally I would like everyone to get their own unique super powerups, but I'm not holding my breath on that happening.
Spoiler
New villain next episode looks great too. Say whatever else you want about it, but Ninninger has some of the best looking badguys of any sentai.

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
So Takaharu gets a power-up and a new mecha for being an idiot? I don't know what lesson/theme the writers are trying to send, but what they are actually sending is so very, very wrong. Be stupid and look without leaping, kids, and you'll get rewarded!
Right now Ninninger is pulling a 3 for me, and that's only because they at least put together some proper non-CGI transformation porn footage for Lion Ha-Oh. But I can't stand Takaharu. He's a horrible character. It's Jan without the endearing qualities.
As for Transcendental mode, at least with ToQ Rainbow everyone had the chance to use it. But that's clearly not the case here. Red mecha, red suit, red shuriken device thingy.
Edit: Oh, and no polls this week, Takenoko?

I'm separating them out. That way I have an excuse to dip into my image archive.

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
So this episode highlighted why Takaharu has rubbed me the wrong way, he is 100% brain dead, we are 20 episodes in and people have had to REMIND him on a constant basis that not only is he stupid but he is the core strength of the team. and every time this happens he get's stronger or in this case he gets a ultra form, while I love the outfit, it's stupidly powerful and wasted on Takaharu.
Now onto Lion Ha-oh....No..just no... Now I've seen the toy of the (final?) Gattai, and the stupidity grows beyond Lion Ha-oh and it makes me miss the Toqger mech's.
I'm going to try and continue watching this series with the hopes that it turns into something good like Drive has

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
This writer really wants to screw over the concept of working with others to Takaharu. Back in episode 12, instead of having the others defeating Gabi, the writer has Takaharu get the message that the others really stalling until he gets to the scene and be the guy. Now this time, Takaharu learns the others have their skills because they want him to rampage all the time and support him in order to do that.
Also the whole message of learning about others got completely trumped by the Red only power-up. The writer really should have not combined these into an episode because they cancel each other out which I want to say but we all know the power-up kill the working with others message.
At least Lion Ha-Oh allows someone to snipe Takaharu in the head.

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
Someday Sentai will be five-red-color team. It's sad. I have a feeling that these five characters(Blue, Yellow, Gold, Pink and White) were thrust into the script just for a tick, such as "Because Ishinomori Shotaro coined". The new form looks great. I'm also glad that finally everything came back to normal with Kin-chan...
Whereas Kamen Rider rises to a height, Sentai...
Right though had in the three form more, but the others could use at least one.
...I would have gone over to the bad, to be honest. It seems to me that at least some equality...
Generally. With the advent of each new episodes I'm more and more disappointed.

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
We don't know yet if there are going to be super forms for the rest of the group yet. However this feels very Kyouryuger with the superform being the mecha just in a human form.

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
The fault is in writers, and Takaharu actor, actor doesn't do good job at all (seriously dude, you're in super sentai, one of the oldest still running shows in Japan, UP YOUR GAME), and writers decide just to roll with him as being main focus all the time, becos screw the rest. Headcannon: Writer fantasize about Takaharu, and wants to see him more so he can jack more.
Yeah, so just like i said, Taka gets another blowjob, while the rest has to shamefully fap in the corner, only thing that they had going for, was holding Youkai with chains, but thats not enough.
The one repsosbile for lack of team power up, whoever that is, must be kicked out and replaced with someoen who knows the meaning of a word sentai.
How i wish this shite would end earlier like Decade, but that won't happen.
Forsake all hope...Realyy, DO NOT expect anything at all form this series, this way we may somehow get throu it. It won't get better, at all, it will be in our best interest for this show to get even worse, so worse, that someone will have to stand up and say something. SO join me in praying for NinNinger to reach the new pathetic bottom, cos if not, we will get a repeat in next SS.

Re: Ninninger 20 sanjou!
I have to say i didnt care much for the episode this time. the over amount of focus on red is getting really irritating. From Kyroyuger on the bulk of the focus has been on red with the other characters getting relatively small amounts in comparison. The armor is just bleh to me, and it reminds me of the hideous looking samurai armor from power rangers samurai. The one thing toqger got right with the ultra mode is that it was shared between the entire team.
also i think there was a typo towards the end, "pupil little a bit" should probably be "pupil a little bit".
