Here's some advanced-level weirdness that only this season can do. Remember episode 23, where InuBro turned into an actual dog and got adopted by a little girl? Same girl as this episode. Not just same actress...same character. It's a point for continuity and world-building that they brought her bac...

Whoa, Haruka's aunt must be rich! Maybe, maybe not. She is a cop after all, so she might have pulled some strings. But she is the cop in charge of the Jyuto cases, so she may be pretty high up in the ranks and be fairly well paid. Or both. Could be both. Yeah, I surprised Luna when I told her who t...

It's in her blood. She is the actual sister of OniSister after all.

Jin's cryptic response to Jirou's question was so annoying. In a way, it was kind of foreshadowing. One way to interpret Jin's response to Jirou (that the secret to Tarou's strength is that he is Tarou) is that only Tarou could beat Tarou. And based on the ritual from a couple episodes ago, and his...

cool first episode. looking forward to where it goes from here. some things I'm immediately curious about, that'll probably be answered soon, if not just next week flat out: 1) if Geats won, became a god, and could remake the world as he saw fit, all in episode ONE, then why do we still have a seri...

The first half of the episode felt like a clip show with the return of guest stars, the screens, and the various animal forms that were only used once. [snip] Sakura's desire to attend medical school came out of left field. Pre-snip: perhaps that's why they turned the DonBros episode into a clip sh...

Okay, that's not entirely true--Jirou's visit home was excellently done. (The only thing I think that scene was missing was a repeat of the introduction/childhood conversation that was implied to have been going on for a while, but I can respect putting time into genuine characterization instead.) ...

Giff's motivations are very unclear. Why does such a powerful lifeform care whether or not humanity is on a self-destructive path? What is the difference between Giff exterminating humanity and just letting humans destroy each other? As we learned when Vice was taken captive in Giff's realm and Gif...

>Why did Rumi even date this guy? I don't think she did? Like everyone else in Jirou's village, they were just putting up with his one-sided delusions. Like patronizingly telling a kid "good job" Either that, or Jirou was the only age-appropriate male not related to her in the village. We...

What? Akaishi escaped the death blow by just ducking? Stupid Right before he ducked there was a brief drippy scene then a color wash put over the whole fight. Both were blood-red, the color we've been shown associated with Giff. So I think the implication is that Giff interfered a little. But Akais...

This week was Uchuki, the Kyuranger monster. Could you tell? It's hard to focus on the design when you only briefly look at it before the fighting ensues. In retrospect, Shishi Red was a self proclaimed superstar. The idol association works. Slightly better association: the MOTW was kidnapping idol...

I hope she comes back, honestly. She's too interesting to just be a one-off. Although given even she has no idea she was Oni Sister, I can't see it happening. When one of my friend's and I watched this episode, she commented that she'd like Marina to be the 6th Ranger. Given the rumors that the 6th...

I think that Vice's original intent was just to suppress young Ikki's memories of the fire, given that it looked like it was his father that caused the whole thing. But because of the exact wording of that contract ("I can help you protect your family, but in return you'll forget some things .&...

The memory sacrifice feels pretty derivative too. Zeronos already did that. Except this sounds like the inverse of Zeronos. It's not the world losing memories of Ikki; it's Ikki losing memories of the world. As for why that's being symbolized by Ikki fading out of photographs, well... https://64.me...

So Hiromi has lost his memory.... Has he though? Remember that just before the Fenix helicarrier crashed and he got blasted off the quarry cliff by Demons Olteca, Hiromi was retiring from Fenix. He was done and heading home. Now he is home, and the Igarashi brothers show up at his door. He probably...
