(Srsly though, what crazy casting)
Erm, wasn't the karaoke dude the tokusatsu version of Motoki Furuhata, who runs the Crown Arcade in other versions of the story, and whom Usagi had a crush on? ^^;;;

Incidentally, I recall a scene in the '90s anime where Usagi daydreams having both Motoki and Tuxedo Mask holding onto her arms.
Yeah but in the live action he had a crush on Jupiter. They even went on a date

Sorry, I wasn't denying that. More like seeing it from the point of view of Motoki's usual role in the franchise, I guess?

"Usagi's love interests" is an odd lens to view this casting through, and I have no clue if it's a coincidence or a deliberate reference.

People have been comparing this show to this dinosaur-themed Sentai and that, but the one Sentai this first episode strongly reminds me of is Gingaman. There's a society of people hidden away in a forest, a warrior's tradition handed down through the generations, the enemy attacks just as the latest generation are going through their ceremony to become the new warriors, a modern human stumbles upon all this just as the chaos begins, and tragedy strikes the team which gives them a new drive to rise up against the bad guys.

Just my two cents.
I like that. It's closer to "boom" which is its pun. What do you think Luna?

Que bon is "It's good" versus que bom "it's nice". Hmm, that might be a stretch though

Oh, come on! You're really bringing "wae" into tokusatsu discussion? 😑

The whole episode went totally over my head. I couldn't make anything of this thing. The characters jumping in from nowhere, the existence of Ui, the death of the sempai, Tyramigo suddenly appearing, Green and Black not being there- seemed like a total mess to me.

But I must admit, the mecha fight was at a totally different level. The fight choreography was good, the camera angles were good, the sets were good, it wasn't CGI-dependent; everything was very pleasing to me. I'm just worried that it might be temporary, and Toei will go back to their old ways again. Hoping that this doesn't happen.

Great first episode!

At 03:40, though, there's a potential mistake that might want to be corrected for future episodes. Where it says Dinosaur Dragoon Ryusoulger, shouldn't "Sentai" be in there? Or squadron or Knights? I suppose dragoons are a kind of squadron, but it just seems like its needlessly confusing since we're going to be identifying the show more by the Japanese name. Just a thought. Dinosaur Knights Sentai Ryusoulger maybe? I don't know.

But I'm so excited for this series!

This sucked. First off, don't say the rangers are cool when they spend ten seconds charging up their powers. The special batteries were done last Dino Sentai and it really didn't wow me that time. While knights are cool, don't throw in campy dinos with Lego stubs on their backs.

Second the fact that people can find the secret village is disturbing because with great power comes great security. At least Gingaman lead you in a circle before giving up, but the "explorer" just walked in ready to wet herself from excitement.

Last don't hide the other rangers without an explanation because if Red is meant to be the leader, why were Green and Black already in the world ready to go? Introduce all the core rangers at once and then hint at others. I don't know how many this Sentai will have, but there are plenty of colors and cool dinos to choose from.

I have my doubts about this series and if the odd dancing at the end is any indication, camp leads to crap.

I don't know about the whole history concerning the forest, or how it's seen by Japanese people, let alone how its being used here by Ui -- but as someone who suffers from depression, I've never felt like Sentai was mocking those suffering from it. I get the inference - Zyuoh The World from Zyuohger, right? While he was hardly depicting depression and anxiety realistically - I sort of found him overcoming such obstacles as very inspiring and empowering! But I suppose not everyone might see it that way.

Not starting any argument. Just my two cents; Ive never felt like Sentai or Kamen Rider was mocking the depressed.

I'd still prefer to avoid "dragoon". It looks weird, and most people won't get the pun anyway.

I agree with this. Dragoon just seems to pop out of nowhere for most people including myself. I get it’s combining dragon and knights, but we’re also talking about dinosaurs. It would be different is this where a dragon season.

Doesn’t Dinosaur Knight Squadron Ryusoulger seem more simple?

"Knight Dragon Squadron" is just a literal translation of "騎士竜戦隊", nothing else.

Yeah, but doesn’t dragon serve the duel purpose of describing both dragons and dinosaurs? Plus the show is about dinosaurs, not dragons

Brazilian here! We use "que bom" here as "that's good" (as in "So you're [...], that's good!") or "it's good" (as in "It's good to [...]"). It really seems like they'd go with "bom" since they used "Vamolá" in Kyoryuger, which is a common reduction/slang here in Brazil.
