No, it's the skin that is showing. Uncovered thigh is the key word. I think you're still assuming it's more perverse than it actually is XD

When it's gone under the skirt, you've gone too far.

Oh man, I'm glad I watched the net episodes of the Kamen Rider Sentai stuff. This episode might have been slightly less awesome if I didn't. There is just so much stuff going on but its so awesome. I love how they made fun of the whole moment of when the sentai would get distracted and the enemy would take advantage of it. How he kicked a spinning energy blade I will never know but it was awesome. And I didn't even notice Kibaranger's different chestplate! I thought he looked a little weird. And I totally nerded a bit at the idea of Kibaranger fighting them. I just love the idea of him being left out of the delusion change. Also love the idea of the changing ending theme with being the intros of other sentai series. I hope this keeps.

It's really cool that they're working in more of the behind the scenes stuff, like Chinaman (which was something those of us that have seen Super Hero Taihen already knew).

I hope they do more stuff like this. Maybe something with Dynaman's original baseball theme, or Battle Fever J's Marvel Comics connection?

I think the reason Koichi Sakamoto got the assumption is because of his previous and current work in Sentai. *Ahem* KyoryuPink..

Are they giving the idea of Kibaranger being part of the team? So Kibaranger has become an *takes off glasses* AKibaranger.

Yup, let's run the joke into the ground, everyone.

The Shogun is shorter than Nobuo, no wonder he was walking around his lair on platforms.

There's also his work on Kamen Rider W: A to Z.

I just have to give mention to the "DaiRanger kitaaa!" part. I'm seeing more and more Kamen Rider references this season. Maki in the toy shop with the little dolls hanging on the counter and shelves. Now Fourze catchphrases too. Plot relevant or just little toku jokes?

I'm missing out on a lot of references and trivia in this EP, probably because I'm more into Kamen Rider and less Super Sentai... but oh boy, the torrent of references is over the top (much more than season 1 as far as I remember). If not for the good setup for the mystery (which I hope is going to be the season arc and not resolved within the next episode) I might have considered dropping out of this.

Like the new blue, and as someone mentioned earlier she certainly does sound like a female Gai. Wonder how's her sentai knowledge ranking vs Akagi's...

(edit) Did Akagi just throw out a Decade reference the first time he met creepy shogun dude in the karaoke room?

What Decade reference? I didn't see anything that could relate to Decade in that scene.

Sorry, I just rewatched that scene again, I guess I must have latched on to the "who are you" ... "I'll remember that" phrases and got reminded of Decade.

(because in Decade, the pattern was "who the hell are you", "just a passing Kamen Rider, remember that!")

This episode nuts. I loved it. But do I wanna call Luna "New Mitsuki" or mimic the baby from Dinosaurs and call her "Not the Mitsuki"?

Mad Cow, I think you're stretching a bit with the Decade connection. I would believe in it a bit more with the "passing by" part but without it, it's more of a common thing with heroes and villains.

Well, that's what this is for:

Also, someone wrote up a list of stuff that might be worth changing in the talk page. So maybe a version 2 coming out:

Yeah, totally forgot about that. And if I'm not mistaken, he's the one that keeps bringing Nao Nagasawa to do some scene in W and Fourze, is it? (I don't have any bad impression on Koichi Sakamoto, btw)

I'm still not used to this new Blue. Aoyagi fits the team as the straight-thinking personality, but Luna seems....I dunno. Guess we have to give time to see where her role in the team fits once this arc is over.
