At first this episode seemed like a deep psychological thriller like William Sleator's "Others See Us".
Spoiler
I guess the stuff people heard was just made up. While it's interesting to see how the opinions of the people close to a person can affect their identity, I think it might have been a more interesting episode of the monster was just projecting what people really were thinking and then having them deal with the consequences of it
I wouldn't agree about projecting what people really think of a person would be better. It can backfire if the projection isn't a negative view towards that person. It's easier to make up bad things about a person for the monster than using projection of the inner thoughts. I would say that GoseiKnight probably knew about the shell on Agri's neck but realized that Agri himself had to be the one that breaks the shell's power over him.
Buredoran is getting his payback by using one of shells on Kingugon which Super GoseiBlack completely out-power him. Buredoran isn't one who forgets grudges.
really like seeing Agri go straight to Super Gosei Black too. To me, i was worried that once we got Super Gosei half way through the series that there wasnt much left as far as 'the gosei angels are at their most powerful'. instead, we see that there is room for them to grow still. that going Super Goseiger straight through Tensou is going to maybe be more common. (hopefully) Also like seeing how devious Buredoran really is and how important he is to the entire storyline. Just when you think he's missing the mark and falling to the wayside, we get this episode that proves he's still large and in charge and whatever his master devious plan is, he never once lost his stride.
i was getting a little bored these last few episodes, but like every sentai series, just when i get bored, they reel me right back in with a quality episode like this. can't wait to see what the next big twist is.
It's about damn time they started using the cards along with their super form ><; I was wondering what that little platform on the front was suppose to be.

seems there's discord in the enemy lines could it be that bredoran is working for another hidden force that we haven't seen yet? and how'd he get one of those scales attached to kingouon anyway? seems like were coming close to one of the main villains being destroyed though.
...Honestly if he did fall down, I imagine the actor inside the suit would have trouble getting up again... I dunno that's just me.

This makes me think that Buredoran is either a very bitter Beast that has to have revenge or that monster they have every year that is more then meets the eye. Possible final villain?
Certainly an interesting villain this week, it would've been interesting to see the monster only project what people where really thinking, go abit more in depth with character's. Look's like we may be working are way to another group of villains if Buredoran's plan actually involves splitting up the Yuumajuu generals, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Agri certainly took the false criticism better than the regular people. Everyone else seemed to get really angry, really fast, while Agri tries to improve himself and gain recognition for his efforts like a model Japanese citizen.
I suspect Buredoran isn't satisfied with following orders from Makuin and Kingugon. Buredoran probably wants to eventually gain leadership over all the Yuuma Beasts.
I was positively impressed with the episode. At first I thought it would suck., but then I saw Buredoran almost shouting eureka after he saw the MOTW's power. His plot against Kingugon alone was enough to make it an ok episode, but the the bonding with knight moment really made sense, unlike the ones in other episodes. And then we had a good action scene and a very nice giant combi-fight. The final comedy moment was the cherry on top.
Is it just me or the MOTW's plans have stopped to have something to do with the Yuuma Beast's plan to make the earth rot? I mean, i know they are resorting to tactics and mental attacks since the power up, but while the first MOTW to do that had attacking the Goseigers as a clear goal, the last two didn't. I don't know how trapping people in a jar or making peopel fight would rot the earth. Ok, without people there would be environmental accidents because of the unsupervised machines, but there would also be no one left to pollute. And making key leaders fight could result in wars or stuff like that, but that's not what we saw. And in a previous episode they made it clear that the MOTW had attacked the prime-minister...
After last week's preview, I was expecting another sibling spat episode between Agri and Moune. The plot we got was far more interesting and gave Agri's actor a chance to do something other than act predominantly angry. This string of episodes has been really good. I hope it continues.
