As far as Ryusoulger (and, frankly, the past few sentai) is concerned, I've been following the rule of thumb that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
This was, by far, my favorite Ryusouger episode and possibly my favorite sentai episode of 2019. I loved how (almost) every character had a thread of their own carrying through the episode. Asuna going into berserker mode because her Christmas cake(s!) were taken away. Bamba's awkwardness with not!Venus and threats to Melto to keep his mouth shut. Melto barely keeping his mouth shut while also deflecting Oto's flirtations. Canalo still not handling Oto's attempts to date very well, and the utterly devastated expression he gets when he realizes Akari may be romantically interested in Bamba (and vice-versa). On the other hand, Towa was oblivious to quite a lot which, which led to some genuinely humorous moments. Oto was back, continuing her pursuit of Melto and hanging out with kids that look close to her age, even if she's supposed to be significantly older than them. Even Tyramigo (plus the other talking Kishiryuu) got to help set the trap to find the Minusaur's host and then party with the kids. And as others pointed out Koh mostly faded into the background until it was time to have a mecha battle, at which point he became the focal point of the show. (Whoops, almost slipped into something negative).
Bottom line, sentai is about a team of warriors, and it was nice to see a script recognize that and try to give each character a moment to shine. Ironically, I think Ui had the least screen time of the regular cast. I can't even remember if she was in the episode.
The guest actress drove me nuts. I knew I knew her face and her voice, but I could not place her until she did the V symbol near the end. I literally smacked myself on the head when it finally clicked who she was. Excellent work for those who spotted Kupi and Artemis. I had to rewatch that scene after reading through this thread. It's amazing how obvious it seems in hindsight with the way Bamba is playing with Kupi.
Hope everyone had a great holiday season and a happy new year!

Hey Phurricane! I was thinking of writing you an e-mail to see what's new with you.
Great post as always! LOL, good point about not saying anything negative. But then what would I have to post about with the way recent sentai has been going???
Honestly, Ryusoulger isn't a bad series. It's just not great because some of it's bigger flaws, but it has some fun moments and good characters when they're allowed to shine.

Better episode than most. Bar is pretty low though.

Re: Ryusoulger 39 released
Bamba once again proving why he's the best character in this damn show.

I was gonna list all the series I've watched but there's a 255 character limit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well.

The opening theme was glitchy for a split second.
