I feel like this episode doesn't count, to be honest. I doubt we'll see them calling each other by their donbro name nor do I see them running up to civilians like normal sentai
That's a fair point. The Wonderful Life analogy someone else made seems apt, as only the character growth is going to carry forward.
>Meanwhile, just to keep score, this is now the third episode in a row without a robo fight.

But we had a robotarou just last time and this time!
You know damn well what I mean, smart ass! :P A giant robo fight.
>This episode introduced a new insert song, and yet very atypically for Sentai, you couldn't hear it.

There's a new song?
Yes. We get a fight song once Oni Sister goes Robotaru. The Internet says it's called A Battle World.
>Huh. If you had told me she was in her early 20s, I would have accepted it without blinking. Apparently I'm terrible at telling the ages of Japanese actors. :lol:

I feel like they coded her as more mature than Haruka
Agreed. That's definitely part of it.

And I really like her gold hair braid thing that she wears throughout the episode. Also her yellow fingernails. Both of which are gone when she goes back to her original life at the end. It's a nice attention to detail and nod to "rangers wear their colors" sentai trope

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 is going to be played by a woman, I said that that was possible.

And if it does happen, that would turn this episode into one of the most unique intros for the 6th Ranger in Sentai history.

Honestly given the male pink this year I don't think it's too unlikely. I mean, I still don't think it'll happen. I know one of the rumours ages ago was we were getting a duo like Go-On Wings.

Shinkenger Red raises her eyebrows in your direction.

Has there been a lady Orange before?

Maybe Marina could be a color similar to Yellow like Honey? (They could do the gimmick where male characters cannot tell their colors apart but the difference is obvious to female characters.) Also, White has been used by lady rangers before.

Haruka's decision didn't feel satisfying to me. Why is she okay with giving up manga? External influences like feeling guilt for Marina don't sit well with me.

She's not giving up manga. When she tells that to her agent, she's just basically saying "Get off the phone, I'm busy". She's about to go and reset everything so she knows it doesn't matter what she says.

She goes back to being Oni Sister because she realises that by giving it up she's forcing someone else to take on the bad luck that comes with it, and she doesn't want to do that.

At the end of the episode, nothing has changed. Haruka hasn't "given up" manga, she's the same as she was before, except she's now basically wasted her Kibi Points.

You know what I mean. It's easier than saying "main red for the whole year who's a lady" each time

Unless an actor dies or does something so stupid Toei has basically no choice but to fire them, that's not happening. It happened a couple of times in the Showa era, but there's basically 0 chance of a main cast member being replaced mid-season nowadays.

Haruka's actress should have trolled the internet by holding up a bouquet of flowers a couple of days before the show aired.

Gotta say, this is the first sentai season where I'm genuinely anticipating to see what's going to happen next. I think it's because other sentai I've seen usually had a more traditional TV format, where episodes are generally interchangeable (and I don't mean it in any derogatory sense, it's just a different style). This is the first time I see sentai going for a "gripping storyline" kind of format, like KR has been doing lately.


P.S. No one going to mention how onisister now suddenly has a weapon (club)? I thought it was a big deal, considering how under-armed donbrothers-who-are-not-momotaro have been up until now
