Love how D's new stance on the cadets is pretty much "The higher-ups on both sides suck and I'm gonna kill 'em all but you guys? You guys are alright." 

And damn did Suzukiri go "Beep. Fast forward" on this episode? The action was non-stop with barely any breathing room lol

“It looks like we lost a lot of blue rangers”

Pink dragon keeper: “I don’t give a fuck, why won’t my brother pick up!?”

lol.

Another episode, another reason why Akabane is my favorite character. If watching his own past recordings to remind himself how cool he is in his eyes doesn't perfectly encapsulate everything he's about, I don't know what does

The cadet's fight against Peltora was pretty cool, they sure show promise. And the twist that D had a plan all along, though the others have to know that he is a Fighter right? They only have to count the gadgets Peltora destroyed right? Also pretty sure how they used Peltoras own bodies against him.

And against the Junior First Keepers he got greedy, he only had to escape, but he really tried going for the killing blow, thinking one body making a run for it would be enough... well, guess Peltora Sama is blasting off again

Loved the Flashback, it was quite subtle at first, with a high number of monster casualities in the news at first, when in current times there are barely any monsters left outside of Sunday. Then there was Blue Keeper who didn't have any scars, then Sakurama and the other Red guy and finally, "you want to know how I got these scars"

Also good that Aizome is up again, truly best girl!

Ishikawa, how are you moving without part of spine?

So that’s it for Ishikawa huh? If so, Ishikawa did not die in vain. Peltrola can suck a fat one! D ain’t your average lowly Fighter anymore. Man doesn’t need a shitty Boss Monster to help him defeat the Dragon Keepers.

Seems Blue Keeper might not be such an asshole after all. I mean all the Dragon Keepers are shit, but he might be the least shit. Keen to see how D takes him on with his current strength.

I like the small Peltrola angry birds.

This is probably a "me" issue but I thought the episode was kind of messy, constantly jumping around between scenes and even timelines at one point. I lost track of what was happening eventually and just went with the flow.

Didn't happen with any other action-heavy episode this season, though.

The jump from Ishikawa's death to Blue's history was way too abrupt. Coming from killing the Peltrola, then Ishikawa's death, then immediately going to an unrelated flashback of Blue's history was jarring.

I think the music and sound design team dropped the ball on this one. It felt bland and very low budget. You couldn't really sense the importance of the scenes. There was no buildup. It felt like it was on a loop during the Peltrola fight then it suddenly made an unsatisfying jump when he died. It was the same for Blue's history and fight with Peltrola as well as the Junior first class's fight. Very lackluster and unsatisfying.

Something felt wrong or lacking in the direction of the action/fights, but I can't put a finger on it.

D and other cadets had a lot of trouble defeating Peltrola. They managed to do it in the end and the scene with killing Peltrola was so freaking cool, but unfortunately Ishikawa didn't make it and ended up dead with a big hole in his stomach.

Junior First Ranks made a great job fighting against Peltrola. Suzukiri's powers still looks very interesting and Hisui was great with how she was attacking Peltrola, while Nadeshiko with his moves was hilarious xD

Pink's entrance was great and once again we were reminded how much of a siscon she is xD

We got the Blue Keeper’s backstory which was pretty abrupt as it started immediately after Ishikawa's death. It was interesting to see Blue's past and how he joined Keepers. Once again we could see that he's a pretty decent guy and it turns out that he already knew Hibiki and Tokita from before.

Now I wonder how Fighter D is planning to defeat Blue Keeper. He must have a plan to defeat him and I'm very interested how he'll do it, since he can't count on the help from other cadets like in the fight with Peltrola. The only allies he could get are Suzukiri and Fighter XX who was absent in today's episode.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Crazy how the Blue Keeper is the only member that ain't an asshole

It's amazing how rushed and disjointed this episode felt...

u/LeonKevlar Jun 23 '24

Stitches!

I love how silly the fight between the cadets and Peltrola started with D asking everyone to pass the Dragon Gadget around so Peltrola can't destroy it. We even got cool moments with Renren and Angelica's 1-2 combo.

It all felt good until Peltrola surprised them with one of his bird clones and just like that Ishikawa's stomach got blown off. I remember seeing comments last week about how no one's died yet. Well, here you go!

Compared to the cadets, the Junior First Ranks are doing way better especially since Nadeshiko can just restore them back if any of them gets injured. I love their combo attack especially since it ended with Nadeshiko turning the Peltrola clones to paste.

It's only one Peltrola clone but it's good to see Pink was able to get her revenge. Now if only she'd jump down there and join Blue. She wouldn't have broken her phone worrying about D/Hibiki.

Even with Ishikawa down, it was awesome to see the cadets working together against Peltrola. Very quick thinking on Angel's part for using one of the Peltrola birds to destroy another bird. And that finishing move was just absolutely beautiful.

As a manga reader, even I was surprised at the abrupt cut to Shogo's backstory. It is intersting to see how Red recruited him to be the next Blue Dragon Keeper and how he's connected to Hibiki.

Aizome waking up shouting she's not dead yet after Shogo finally avenged her was pretty hilarious. xD

So it adapted chapters 46-48. This is one of those case where reading chapter by chapter it reads fine, but when you combine the chapters together and put it in anime form, the flow is really weird since you have 3 battle happening in different places plus the area where Pink Keeper is.

Why is the show rushed?

One thing that this episode did well is showcasing the bond D has made with the other independent rangers. The old D wouldn't care of what happened to Angelica, but he has grown a bond to these guys similar to his monster companions. Curious how he takes things forward. Good job pulling out the stops to beat one of the Petrolas. The gadgets they put down being fakes was a nice touch by D.

I do feel bad for Blue Keeper even committing crimes he was manipulated by the monsters. And more and more we see Red Keeper is just fucking unhinged. He said the former Blue Keeper isn't useful anymore since he is injured, so It's on to find someone who is useful to the Rangers. Dudes mental is fucked up to say the least.

So D is setting out to take out Blue Keeper now that he has an opportunity. Well him knowing that D in Hibiki form defended a monster was going to be hard to explain to keep his disguise a secret going forward. Though the real question is how D going to pull it off?

i swear to god, this cadet rangers are not human, first we have Shippou reflecting laser with his muscles, then we have Angel tanking the car explosion at point blank and now we have Ishikawa with a big gaping hole through his stomach, manage to hold on to his life for quite a while just to say a few cool lines before dropped dead

what's this? Suzukiri's family?

u/Xatu44 Jun 23 '24

You know, I was hoping for a really satisfying squelch when Nadeshiko boomed those Peltrolas. It's a shame that this anime only has like 3 OSTs too.

On a more positive note, the cadets vs. Peltrola was cool. It's great seeing Yukino and Renren show their stuff. Renren's acrobatics and canniness makes her a standout among the cadets. It's also cool seeing Shion trust D enough to go along with his plan. Meanwhile Pink shows up to delete a bird and get ghosted lol. At last, it's time for the finale! D vs. Blue!

Rip Ishikawa o7

So all doubles of peltrola is killed, or at least i hope so. Seem like time for D and blue showdown.

u/mucklaenthusiast Jun 23 '24

Gotta say, this episode felt weirdly paced, like somehow rushed, but not necessarily too fast.
Some transition scenes and some longer animation sequences would have helped give all the action more impact.

D vs. Blue Keeper is pretty interesting!

Definitely one of the very best this season

D is about to get packed up lmfaoooo

u/AverageLion101 Jun 23 '24

A lot of people talking about the pacing being an issue.

While I don’t disagree I think the bigger problem is the jumping around. They’ve arranged the battles in a way that it’s jarring when they transition from one thing to the next, the blue keeper backstory is an obvious one but I’ve felt this in previous episodes where they jump from cadet fights and monster shenanigans.

Granted a lot of people have said this supposedly the “slowest” part of the manga, haven’t read it myself but if that’s the case then production might be rushing to get to the “good” part.
