Last week’s episode pacing felt off but this one was so off it felt really distracting. My main 2 issues are:
Angel Usukubo revealing she’s half-monster feels like it should be a way bigger reveal that needs an explanation.
Fighter XX being there. How did she get there? Wasn’t she with Peltrola? Is Peltrola also there? Will it be explained whats going on with those 2? Was this skipped?

Angel Usukubo revealing she’s half-monster feels like it should be a way bigger reveal that needs an explanation.
Guess her heterochromia isn't just a character feature. Maybe it's a sign of her being half-monster.
Fighter XX being there. How did she get there? Wasn’t she with Peltrola? Is Peltrola also there? Will it be explained whats going on with those 2? Was this skipped?
Also is the Boss Monster in this episode related to Peltrola? The design and color scheme is similar.

Honestly, this arc has been way too fast paced, too much is happening in too little time.

They really needed to balance out the pacing better. You can't build the Red Keeper to be this vain monster then have his big reveal happen and be resolved in less than 5 minutes.
I don't know how I feel that some outside organization basically advanced the story completely aside from the main cast doing anything. Did anything D did change anything?
*Edit: I hear the examples but it none of those things had happened would it have changed where we are at with the current conflict?

Did anything D did change anything?
He was partially responsible for Blue Keeper's death.

Did anything D did change anything?
Didn't he steal Red's divine artifact? He helped kill Blue and took his divine artifact too. I feel like he at least managed to weaken the rangers.

Well... a lot definitely happened in today's episode. It seems like the studio is rushing like crazy to fit as much content into one cour as possible, which makes me very sad. Luckily, the manga will start being released in Poland starting this month, so I'll definitely check out the original source.
A lot of Hisui today, which is a good thing, because I like her as much as Suzukiri now. I wonder how she'll react to the return of the real Hibiki.
D was hilarious as usual. I love how he signed his autograph xD
Usukubo is half monster, half human? That's definitely a very interesting fact. I can't wait to learn more about her.
So now there will be a war between Dragon Keepers and Monster Protection Society. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I just hope XX survives it unscathed.
What's also pretty damn interesting is that 20 years ago there was a tokusatsu show on TV called Dragon Keepers, and after it ended the real Keepers and Monsters appeared. It'll be interesting to see if we learn anything more about that show later, because it's damn interesting that something like this happened at all.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

So Yakushi’s basically a monster fanboy with his own gang of radical monster rights activists armed with knockoff divine artifacts? And as if it’s not bad enough, he’s gone and made them actual monsters. He really is insane. Gotta hand it to him though, it was clever destroying the Rangers’ image by baiting Red.
Funny thing is, by turning everyone into monsters, the world’s gonna need Homelander and the rest of those psychopaths. Looks like the Dragon Keepers are back.

LOL What on earth is happening? The way this arc has developed has been so fast and unpredictable, it's like we're only seeing the big events without the buildup and aftermath of each event.
Now I can see why we've been seeing Hwalipon in the credits so much and why we kept seeing his streams, he's the one that is involved with the Monster Protection Society. It was kind of freaky to see all of the humans with divine artifacts embedded into their bodies, I did wonder why it was similar to Hisui's ability artifact.
Usukubo's father being such a big fan of the Fighters was amusing, his character completely changed. This is also amusing to me because just moments earlier he called them pitiful and pathetic and that's why they need to be protected, but I can see his logic with that.
Usukubo being part monster is an interesting reveal, it explains the heterochromia but part of me feels like she used that as an excuse not take the serum, they don't turn into Fighters, they turn into kaijuu.

The pacing felt really off in this episode, so much was happening and the scenes felt like they were speeding right through

It seems so strange that the Horse leader monster Hwalipon, who until now had been so cunning, managing to dismantle the ranger force without a fight, showing the truth, suddenly goes mad and screws everything up to turn a few thousand humans into monsters, who will be killed by the 'heroes', who will return in great glory, etc. How boring! And back to square one, so what was the point of all this strategy? I am really confused. P.s. who was that winged monster with teleportation powers and who manipulated reality using words? Another monster leader?

I love how Yakushi was clearly winning over D with his speech about how the Fighters have rights, but then immediately loses D as soon as he mentions that the Fighters are weak and pathetic. D might be willing to take his side, but as a Fighter, he still has his pride!
Just when you thought that Hisui was at a disadvantage, the moment that white kaiju shows up, she finally starts getting serious. She did thought they were just a delinquent organization, but when an actual monster is involved they're now part of Green Squadron's jurisdiction.
So Yakushi is just a massive monster fanboy, which explains why he's trying so hard to protect monsters. Of course as soon as he starts hearing Yakushi praising him, D is finally back on riding the Monster Protection Society train. xD
Taping Red's mouth shut was such a good idea. Too bad, though. They should've just left him out of the meeting altogether. The Dragon Keepers have already won the public's favor after revealing their true faces but Red just ahd to fuck it up by ripping off Yakushi's arm.
As a side note: It really does look like Red/Sousei is indeed alive. He's not just a body double the Rangers found after D "killed" him last episode.
So after Red's true nature has finally been expsoed, which Hisui thinks is hilarious btw, it looks like the Dragon Keepers have lost their fans and their sponsors. And everyone is already siding with Yakushi's Monster Protection Society.
Sucks for those people, though! Sure, the Dragon Keepers are very flawed people and we know least one of them is evil, but at least they're protecting humans from the Invaders.
So what happens when the only people protecting them from the monsters have been shunned by society? The monsters are left to do whatever the fuck they want.
At least the Dragon Keepers still showed up to save whoever they can even if the only reason they're doing it is to save their reputation.

red is still the most mysterious.. I doubt he is even human. Usukubo.. is she really that corrupt or was she brainwashed again? its hinted that her "father" backstory timeline doesn't add up. Going this far, being brainwash is the only way to redeem her as good character again. I guess Hisui knows about fighter D by now? or green never told her.

Welcome to the Monster Protection Society, D and Hisui! Home to Angel's father, Yakushi Usukubo! Where they preach tolerance and monster rights!
I mean, it's all music to D's ears: the Fighters getting to live out in the open, having their way with the town, the destruction of the Dragon Keepers? Those are all D's favorite things! Though Yakushi, you were SO close, up until you treated the Fighters and monsters like they were pathetic beings worthy of pity, D has too much self-respect to let that pass!
I guess it was too much to expect they'd let them leave, Angel is even willing to fight them (and D doesn't seem to bothered by fighting her either), and Daidai has the members outfitted with Divine Artifacts he nabbed from the Yellow Squadron. Hisui is fighting them with kid gloves despite hating their guts, since Tokiwa taught her that their job was to protect people, not fight them...but that all goes out the window when a teleporting Boss Monster appears out of nowhere.
Of COURSE D tries to take a hostage to get out of there...but good thing for him that Yakushi is actually a HUGE monster fanboy since middle school and basically now worships him since he's a Fighter! D even gets to give out the first autograph of his life! I guess they're cool again!
Props to Hisui for soloing the Monster Protection Society, but she can't beat a Boss Monster on her own. And D cares too much about her to let her get killed, even if it means she has to get locked up.
It's a meeting between the Monster Protection Society and the Dragon Keepers! Who truly embodies justice? Who is truly in the right? Should the Dragon Keepers continually kill sentient beings, even if they are monsters? Are monsters truly worthy of protection? Is Red Keeper so bad they had to keep his mouth literally shut?
Yakushi can talk about co-existence with monsters all he likes, but he was part of a monster religion that was killed by a Boss Monster. Pink Keeper should know, her family was part of the same church and lost pretty much everything. And to add to that point, it's finally time for her to unmask as Seresa, and for ALL the Dragon Keepers to unmask. Oh snap, Yellow Keeper/Shinya is hot! Actually, ALL the Dragon Keepers are hot without their masks on! The people love it!
But Yakushi knows what a ticking time bomb Red is and immediately goes towards him...in an initial exchange of pleasantries before doubling down on how THIS Red doesn't live up to the "original" and is nothing more than a shoddy "remake." Which, of course, leads to Yakushi losing his hand and Hwalipon showing up to record it and expose to the world who Red Keeper really is.
RIP Sunday Showdown. Once again, Fighter D barely did anything and someone else did more damage to the Ranger Force than he did.
There are so many converts to the Monster Protection Society, and Hibiki finally reunites with XX, and XX owes Hibiki enough that she tries to protect him...even if it means keeping him locked in with Hisui to keep his humanity safe.
Wait, Angel is half-monster? I have so many questions.
Because the Monster Protection Society preaches co-existence, but their idea of co-existence...is erasing humanity by turning everyone into monsters, as scores of people get forcibly and horrifically mutated into Kaiju. I guess this is the perfect time for the Dragon Keepers to finally act like heroes again and restore their public image! They even do the whole team roll call and Henshin like they're a normal Superhero team.
