(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 7


If I'm going to be honest, I'm more concerned about the next episode than this one. Not sure why. Maybe the preview and the information I saw on Tumblr should be the ones I have to blame for that.

Of course, this was one crazy episode again. Not that I expect anything less than that, considering the dynamic of the team that — until the Professor pointed it out — wasn't exactly acting like a proper team at the moment. I didn't realize that only the Gozyuger was the complete team in that universe, though. Does that mean, it was something similar to what happened to the Sentai members in Gokaiger before? Did the Universe War did the same not just to the Robots (or Sentai Giants, as I'd prefer to call them), but also to the members that controlled them?

More questions again. Sorry.

Sumino was just annoyed the whole time, and it showed. Not sure if I should laugh at that or not. Of course, maybe Rikuo was just unbearable to her. Then again, he never really left her even when she was already pushing him away bluntly. Maybe there was a reason for that. There was probably more to Rikuo than just a person who wanted to become a Number One Idol that brings smile to people. What he went through for him to be forced out of the spotlight was something that was already a usual thing for people in the entertainment industry to go through. And yet, here he was, still aiming to reach higher in his chosen profession even with all that he went through about the baseless rumors that spread.

Even though she was an enemy, I love seeing Bouquet fangirling even more for Rikuo. I wonder what will happen when she finds out that he was an enemy and one of the Ring Warriors. I also found it fascinating that Meguru did the Zyuranger transformation pose at some point when he started to Engage. Of course, I think the battle would be even more intense now that Garyudo ha appeared. Yikes!

I was so sure that the actor who played Ousai Meguru was familiar but I couldn't point it out at first. Until I saw on the internet that he was, indeed, an actor that I've been familiar with. I think he was more known as a stage actor, though. This is the second time I saw a stage actor participate in any Toku franchise. And to think they were the actors I saw in several productions of Mankai Stage. The first one appeared in multiple episodes in Kamen Rider Geats as Kyuun/Kamen Rider Kyuun. And now, the second one is Professor Ousai Meguru, also selected as a Ring Warrior. I wonder if 'that person' will participate in any of the Toku shows someday. I'd definitely want to see it.
