I LOVE LOVE LOVED this movie!!! If Go-Busters vs Gokaiger wasn't my top favorite team-up movie out of all the Sentai team-up movies I've watched so far, this would have been my top favorite.
Tameromo being concerned for Jyuuru is SO SWEET!! He just keeps making me love him even more.
Although, I didn't really get why he just started yelling at Sena like that. And then again in another scene. That's kinda weird.
Why was Jyuuru overthinking? He NEVER does that... Was that only so that Koh could give him advice...? Strange...
From the finale of Ryusoulger, I thought Towa was going to travel around the world... But why Koh....?
Why weren't they panicking or surprised when Takamichi said that Mabushiina was inside the movie? Shouldn't their reaction be more intense than just nodding and calm faces...? They only reacted when Takamichi said that the Ryusoulgers were in the movie as well.
Love the music they used here. They used the best soundtracks from Kiramager!!
Oh, Canalo... He's just a disgusting and hopeless person to me... I never thought I'd say this, but I'm kinda glad that Ryusoulger didn't have any face villains, at least no female face villain anyways. Or else I don't even want to think what might have happened...
Even though I didn't exactly love Towa's hairdo, I think the master thief getup suits the actor a lot... Makes him look mature and older. He does look quite good this way. But for Towa, I prefer the way he normally looks. And the awkward policewoman thing really suited Sena. She was really cute. And in a real race, there is NO WAY Towa will be faster than Sena. The girl's got a national track record for Pete's sake. And Towa was only fast because of the HayaSoul boost he used every time if I remember correctly. So they better not be implying that Towa is faster than her... Anyways, I LOVED their team-up. This was my favorite team-up in the movie. But I guess it could be the fact that they are my favorite characters from their series, but I also thought they hit it off so well together.
Shiguru and Bamba's team-up was nice too. The mature, calm, good-looking guys of the teams being together, is going to be very good of course.
Asuna being the rough and tough boss of the gang was so good. It fits her so perfectly, perhaps even better than her character: the sweet, peppy but strong girl. I guess I would've liked it better if she was the calm, serious and strong type. But I guess that would have just beaten the purpose of her presence in the first place. But Asuna becoming a teacher was the best thing for her character. I love that part. The out-of-suit fights involving Asuna and Sayo we're the most violent in this movie. But I did like Sayo's out-of-suit fights a lot.
What the director of the gambling movie was saying about gambling movies being 'thrilling' is SO WRONG... That was the most boring setup in an action-packed movie... And as refreshing and as suitable it is for their characters that Tametomo and Melto bonded over talking and gambling, unlike the others who bonded over fighting, I still think it was quite boring. They sidelined Tametomo and Melto like that and cut their time short. That was pathetic honestly.
The plot twists of the movies were so obvious, making the Rangers fight against the Bechats. At least the "Bad Girl Yodomko" movie's plot twist was different. They just had to fight other women.
The best thing I got from the movie was the out-of-suit and weaponless fights from the Kiramagers, specifically Tametomo. If I remember correctly, after Episode Zero, there weren't many out-of-suit fights from the Kiramagers in the series.
The references to Ui and Mana Kinjo were really sweet. I loved that.
The Bechat drawing on the board was cute. Lol.
Wow! Koh can't think, so he put the burden on Jyuuru who can't think of anything now... Nice.
Wait, Mabushiina can't cry on her own there? Her voice earlier sounded like she was on the verge of crying... At least that situation was perfect for crying...
The "Let's make it showy" thing was interesting and fun...
How did Oto get the weapons....?
Even though I love their Ki-Ra-Mei formation, it's nice and refreshing to see the Kiramagers posing without it.
Loved that they used the full Ryusoulger theme song in here. Loved it!
Why didn't Shiguru use his sword in his combo finisher with Bamba? It's his specialty and using it here would have been perfect. Yet of all times he used a ranged weapon for a finisher here?! Why...?
Gosh, even Oto is braver than Mabushiina and she is YOUNGER!! Mabushiina should stop being such a damsel in distress and learn from Oto...!
The blue diamond and Kishiryu thing was nice. Even though it was more appropriate for Kiramager, it was still kinda sweet.
I wish they involved Kleon a bit more in the movie. I thought he was fun...
I liked that Yodonna just defeated and exploded the sixth Rangers, but I was quite surprised. The rangers losing to a villain in a final fight is rare in a team-up movie.
Man, it was really fun watching Sena and Towa doing the double finger guns at Bamba...
They have still kept the "Oto crushing on Melto" thing going? Really annoying....
Canalo realizes that he can't rely on appearances alone after how many centuries exactly...? *sigh*. And choosing Mabushiina? Really?! I mean she is literally a ROCK PERSON!!!
Loved the ENDING DANCE A LOT!!! And Yodonna joining the ending dance was also very nice. It was about time!

Though her smile in the ending dance almost breaks my brain; it's too happy!
Seeing her smile normally was really good. I wish her makeup didn't cover up the most of it though.
Overall, awesome movie. The plot was pretty good. A lot of action. But whatever other flaw it may have, to me, it did well as a team-up movie.

Wow, Yodonna looked so much better as a normal person than in the other stuff I've seen her actress in. Such a difference
I agree. Yodonna looks way better as a normal person. The best I've ever seen her actress.

Good job pairing the two speedsters. Although is green's new thing being fast? I miss green being the weirdo or the silent type
I like the quiet types too. But I like the speed thing a lot as well. Since I love speed and green is my favorite color, I think these two things being together is fun.

Yodonna sure knows how to beat the slime out of a guy
Man, Yodonna beating Kleon up like that was cruel... It felt like I was getting hurt at that time...

I'm sad they used those ugly director minusaur suits instead of the giant camera head jamen guy
Yeah, using the Minusaur was bad. They should've used the Movie Jamen alone or together with the Minusaur.

Finally, I declare that Asuna wins this year's team-up hair award. I'm guessing she must have done something relatively radical with her natural hair, since I'm fairly sure that's a wig.
I thought it was her normal hair instead of a wig since the actress cut her hair after Ryusoulger.

The Ryusoulgers are an oddly good pairing for the Kiramager

Overall, I feel like the halo around Kiramager lifted Ryusoulger to being the series it should have been. This was a fun movie that did a good job balancing between the two sentai so that it didn't feel like the Kiramagers carrying the Ryusoulgers
I also think that the Ryusoulgers are a very good match for Kiramagers. I actually forgot that Ryusoulger wasn't as good a season while watching this, lol. But anyway, this movie did a good job at teaming them up and focusing on them individually. They all got enough screentime and shone perfectly.
