Episode Comment: Super Sentai Strongest Battle Episode 1: Who Is the Strongest in History!?

I know this is Sentai-related, but I still decided to post this here only because it's a personal comment on this show. Trust me, I don't think the hype for this 4-week show is going to subside anytime soon... as long as the story plot won't mess it. That's what I think. By the way, thanks to Over-Time for subbing this episode.

The episode started off as intense because of the mysterious warrior Gaisorg attacking the Gokaiger. Stating that he seek only the strongest in the universe before leaving the defeated team, Marvelous soon received a gold plate before getting transported to a place called Planet Nemesis by a girl named Rita. (Okay, I think I'm doing some sort of recap here instead of writing down my actual comments.)

Anyway, the game was announced and soon split everyone invited into 32 teams of five. One of those teams consisted of three Earthlings (Yamato, Takaharu, and Kagura) and two aliens (Marvelous and Stinger). I still don't know why they were called the Weird Team (sometimes the Oddball Team by others). Then again, after watching their interaction with each other, I guess I could see thd reason for such name to be given to their team. Marvelous is obviously on the edge because of Gaisorg, which is why he wasn't communicating much with his teammates even with Yamato acting as a mediator. Takaharu was playing it cool. Kagura was scared at most point but the others' presence calmed her somehow. The ones seemingly having a hard time getting along—enough to have them get pitted against each other—were Stinger and Marvelous.

But they each had their reasons and their personalities were almost similar to the point that they acted like magnets in which same poles repel each other. At least, that's how I think it is. We're still in the first episode, though. There are three episodes more to come. So I know they will get along at some point. By the way, the returning characters Eiji and Sousuke seemed to get along well... somehow. Their personalities were different, obviously but they got teamed up (as part of Team Vehicle) and ended up fighting Takaharu and Stinger. I like seeing those two again.
I forgot to add about the appearance of two of the Ryusoulgers — the siblings Ryusoul Green and Ryusoul Black who both appeared to have arrived late (at least that's what I think). But I have a question. What's with the cave with the emblem of the Ryusoulger carved to it? Green was holding a gold plate so it's still related to the battle. But why they weren't taken straight to Nemesis Palace like the other Super Sentai members?

Another question I have right now is about Luka. What happened to her and where is she when the team was attacked? Marvelous did notice that Gaisorg used one of her moves against him to take him down. So was it possible that Gaisorg had something to do with it?

Anyway, I think I'll stop right here for now. Till the next episode, I hope. 😄😄
