What a BIZARRE EPISODE!!! So much happened in so less time. And with minimum fights.... The fight was good though.
He is right under your nose, girl! Just take a look around!!
You don't have to tell us about the power of imagination, Shinichi. We watched ToQger....
Living is every human's job. It's just no one gets paid for it in cash.
So are his advices really THAT EFFECTIVE?! And why would someone come to him instead of a doctor because of insomnia? They are still giving him stuff then why not pay a proper doctor for consultation?
How will the guy count the bug of a species which has a name that long? I think, I won't be able to sleep trying to remember that super long name, if it were me.
The smartphone wasn't even his.... He just picked it up from the street... Ok... And no auto-transformation for him? Why is that?
Btw, hasn't there been some earthquakes in Japan recently? I read on Twitter that few Japanese people I follow had to face problems due to earthquakes...
What an amusingly optimistic guy.... Lol.
And now Tarou's right in front of your door.... How much more divine guidance do you need, Haruka? I'll admit he's a tad creepy and repulsive, though... But this time his ID card is invisible because of his bag and whatever... Btw, her reaction this time was much better than before. The acting of Haruka's actress is actually improving faster than expected. Not bad.
Even Haruka's aunt thinks she plagiarised? Well, that's sad....
Why would Harula ask him to do the dishes? He is a delivery man, of course he has better things to do....
Now Tarou is washing their dishes.... What an innocently helpful guy.
And he lost his ID card this time....
Dang, Haruka. You don't need his name? And why can't Tarou say his name without his ID car?
So Haruka is actually going with Tarou's "link" thing....?
Wait, Haruka is saying Tarou's name so many times and Tarou still isn't saying, "I'm Momoi Tarou."......
Suddenly, I realized that Tarou must think of Haruka as an idiot since she can't realize that the one she is looking for is RIGHT ON FRONT OF HER....
Master is playing cards on his own? How strange.... What a lax boss he is.... Does he even make any profit this way?
Actually, it is that easy, Haruka. You're just over complexifying it for yourself.
So this light thief ripped off of Tarou's catchphrase? More plagiarism in this series?
Sononi looks better than I'd expected. For some reason, when I first saw her in the press conference and the DonFragrance promo, I thought the white/grey/silver(whichever color it is) contacts looked bad. Maybe it's the lighting or the VFX or something, but she doesn't look as bad to me on-screen as she did before.
Why would she she even agree to bring the stuff into their house herself? She is with Tarou, she can just tell him to bring it inside their house.
Nope, he is definitely NOT WEAK. And neither did you do anything, Haruka. So over confident of her.
But Tarou still used peanuts to hit people....
Did Tarou know Shinichi before meeting in this episode? Hmmm.... This is interesting...
Well, well..... How do you feel now that you have been in their shoes, Haruka? This part was nice...
Wow, she actually saw the ID card. I was certain that she won't see it even this time.
Episode 3, sooner than expected. It's totally Haruka's fault, though. She never gave him a chance. Even if he's weird and creepy.... But he still helped her from those bad guys the day before.
Oh, of course this monster was themed after Lupinranger... How come I didn't realize it sooner?
He's the Red, of course he needs a fancy entrance. I personally prefer his palanquin entrance, lol. Makes me laugh every time. Also, it's hilarious that Haruka is complaining to an AnΕni about Tarou's entrance.
The sounds Shinichi makes while fighting doesn't really make it sound like he's fighting, lol. It's interesting.
And why doesn't anyone except Tarou use their weapons to to fight? It's mostly been hand-to-hand combat so far.
Why did he compare OniSister to Yellow Buster? Yellow Buster and OniSister are so different....
Wow, an almost full-team Avatar Change.
Why does CGI Black keep scolding the only other CGI ranger in the team? Same for this and last episode....
What was up with the glass cube CGI after KaitΕki was destroyed? That was different from episode 1....
Oh, no.... The light thief dies after all.... Episode 3 and 2 civilians dead already...Β I can see the dark plots of Inoue sinking in.... Also, I love Sononi's weapon. It doubles as blades and as a bow. That's a first in Sentai for me....
Wait, what's not good, Zenkaizer Black? Avatar/Sentai gears coming out of Hitotsukis directly when they've been cut down by a NΕto general? How did the Avatarou gear directly appear in front of Zenkaizer black, though?And why didn't Sonoi and Sonoza show up this time?
The heck? Why do they ALL KEEP KICKING HARUKA AWAY?! And I thought she finally did it after sacrificing away her dignity.... Poor girl...
Now Tarou has gone berserk and attacking his companions?! Oh man.... Why are they even still here, though? Don't they usually disappear after the fight is over?!
Man! What a wild ride!!! That was A LOT to take in.... I was literally on the edge of my seat this time.... And only ONE fight sequence, with no mech fight this time? So early in the season? This HAS to be a record for Sentai.
The episode format is quite random, even if it is serialized. Like what happened in the last episode and this one are vastly and wildly different. So are this one and the next one. And I couldn't possibly tell what the next episode holds or will reveal....
Also, I am loving that each character gets to narrate their own parts of the story. This new format is so intriguing.

I made a joke in chat that blue is basically Don Dogoier.
Shinichi is strange, but he isn't a total goofball like Don. Shinichi tries to be wise and "sophisticated".

Oh, that's an interesting introduction shot
Introduction shot of what?

Tarou is Superman?!
No, he is Momoi Tarou-sama.... Who can do anything and everything (the anything and everything part was said by Tarou's actor Higuchi KΕhei)

LOL, Haruka is hilariously small in that hat
She looks small in that uniform overall. I'm guessing that's because they didn't have any delivery uniforms available for younger females.

Also, was he small last time too?
If by small you mean Tarou's Alter form, then yes, his Alter form was this small last time too.

Can black use a gear for a series where there's no black?
They haven't made the change pattern very clear for Avatar Changes, so not sure how that goes...

But just what are the bad guys after? Right now, it appears they are aligned with the DonBrothers, with the only difference being their methology is unacceptable. So that calls into question what the DonBrothers are doing (like should they be doing things to further the bad guys' goals). Also, who are turning these people into Sentai monsters if it's not the bad guys? So many questions!
What it seemed to me, was that the NΕto generals want to get rid of dirty, filthy humans who have been overtaken by the desire for something. They are trying to cleanse the world, apparently by getting rid of these people who have been turned into Hitotsuki permanently and killing them.- that's the concept Sonoi gave me. On the contrary, the Donbrothers want to stop the NΕto generals from killing them(that's what Haruka is trying to do, at least) and want to save the people who have been turned into Hitotsukis. But for the Donbrothers to save the people, they have to defeat the Hitotsukis, without killing them. So if we look at it this way, the Donbrothers' and the NΕto generals' goals contradict each other. So far, only Don Momotarou has been the one defeating these Hitotsukis. And as to how his method is different from the NΕto generals' method, in detail, we don't know that yet. Like, what is special about Tarou's attack that allows him to defeat the Hitotsukis without killing the person- this hasn't been clarified yet. Is it his finisher attack, the "Momotarou Zan"? We don't know yet, but we might know in the future.
And from what we saw in episode 1, I think no one has to turn these people into monsters. Sonoi accelerates that transformation for Kishiryuki, but he didn't transform Kishiryuki directly. The people's desires are so strong that their desires are causing them to turn into monsters.

Wait, is the light thief just dead? Seems knid of weird considering they hired someone to play Black Bear and also, we never friggin learn why he's stealing lights
I thought Shinichi explained why the light thief was stealing lights. Is it not because he wants to take revenge for mistreating him?
