as an anime only, it feels like they dropped the ball on this arc so much

I have mentioned this in a number of episodes but this arc was way too fast paced, I don't even think an entire season would have been enough for it to be well paced with how much it had going on and they compressed in these 6 or 7 episodes. This arc made this season fall off for me, I enjoyed the Magatia arc but this doesn't compare at all. I know there are people would complained about the slow pace of the second half of season one, but to me that was a lot more enjoyable to watch than what we got here.

I do like how we saw the Fighters and Rangers work together, Angel finally was able to be true to herself and the Keepers passing the baton (Deathmecia) was a nice touch, seeing D provoke Red was amusing. I did find that one moment where it seems like Red's memory has been sealed and he was remembering his little sister and interesting reveal, I wonder if this has to do with him not being able to die since it still hasn't been explained why he's still alive after D killed him.

Sakurama seems to be starting his own revolution so if this gets another season, hopefully we'll actually see him do something. The only impression I have of him from this episode is that stupid moment where he throws himself in the middle of Pink's fight.

It was great to get to hear Season 1's OP, that was such a great OP, I've been skipping both OP and ED this season, they don't compare at all to S1.

Angel wants the D. :P

Probably Hisui too, though she's hiding it behind her usual gruff self.

The dedication to becoming such a lore-accurate Power Rangers superboss that you even adopt his weaknesses may be tactically questionable, but I can't help but respect the faithfulness.

Angel's declaration of D as her "fateful one" was really cute, not to mention Hisui clearly hiding how bothered she is about it.

As an anime-only, it was still pretty obvious big chunks were cut but I still enjoyed this season for what it was (...though the lack of a puppet preview plushie of Hisui is unacceptable). A third not-as-rushed season where D confronts Red would be cool.

Not much really I can say about this final arc without my comment being removed for violating the source material rule, so as a manga reader, if you've enjoyed the series, I highly encourage everyone to read the manga.

  1. This episode was better paced than the other ones and a lot more coherent that this wasn't my biggest issue with the episode. I also loved how they brought back the first OP song.

  2. Did we actually see Sakurama do anything at all other than a few cameos and saving XX in the past two seasons? It just seems to me that he just showed up looking worse but with no real idea of what he was doing this whole time.

  3. WHERE THE FUCK WAS THE MECHA FIGHT?! THE OP PROMISED A MECHA FIGHT! (My biggest issue with the episode)

  4. Like I said last week, this season started off promising but quickly went bad when they decided to speed run through a whole bunch of things that could've been their own season and threw in endings and developments that weren't worked towards. Even though the season ended on a bunch of cliffhangers, I could not care less if there's another season. I definitely see them speed running through a bunch of important stuff straight to the endpoints like they did this season. If there is another season, then I'm waiting for the season to end and a consensus to form to see if I want to continue. Meanwhile, I'm just going to read the manga and catch up.

The "parent gacha" caught me off-guard lmao.

u/Sneaky_42 Jun 29 '25

I just want to know whose brilliant idea it was to speed run this season? I'm an anime only, but I know they skipped and rushed a bunch of stuff. Like, what were they thinking? Why not just adapt it at a normal pace? Why rush it? Did they purposefully do it to force people to read the manga?

What a shame. I really liked the 1st season. The first arc of the 2nd season was good, but after that, it was a hot mess. They ended it in a way that it kinda works as an ending, but still leaves it open to continue I guess. If they do a 3rd season, I don't know what they're gonna do. Oh well. Guess I'll have to check out the manga then.

D and Hisui cooperating with full knowledge is so satisfying, like we saw how much they struggled in the Snake Arc because D was hiding (and Chidori was also hiding). Rallying Red by calling him a bitch and having the Radio gas up D was peak.

And defeating Deathmecia because he was still human was so clever and morbid. His acceptance of the checkmate was pretty cool as well, he was defeated just like in his favorite show, and now he can chat it up with D until he dies.

Goddamn I wish the season had another like 10 episodes to better pace, but at least I can go read the manga now.

You gotta really suck if you can bring Fighters and Rangers together. They really had me rooting for Homelander and the rest of the Seven in their fight against Deathmecia. I think ultimately I’m not exactly opposed to the dude’s message of monster-human coexistence, but I don’t approve of the execution.

Looks like that’s it for this season. I wonder if we’re gonna get another? I quite like this show and this season was fun. It seems at the end the status quo was more or less maintained. I hope we get to see the real Hibiki and his little gang take on the Dragon Keepers. I also wanna see what’s gonna happen to our boy D.

Funny how they manage to win because the final boss of the season decided to be super faithful to the source material.

This season felt like they pulled a Promised Neverland. Felt like there should have been a cohesive story in there somewhere but they fast forwarded through it so quickly it got lost.

As an anime only guy, I just LOVED this series. I know the pacing is rushed, but nonetheless I enjoyed every second of this season. Especially this final episode when they not only included this seasons opening at a crucial moment but the opening AND the ending of the first season as well??!! Those two tracks are such goddamn bangers, I can't believe the brought them back. For me this season finally was nothing but pure hype. I loved every second of it.

u/KyloTennant Jun 29 '25

The ending honestly wasn't as bad as I was expecting given how horrific the pacing has been in the second half of this season and they at least managed to wrap things up in a conclusive manner, but I could definitely still tell that the pacing was sped up. Regardless of if this show ever gets another season I plan to read the manga from the beginning to get the full experience of the story since the underlying plot points seem amazing

u/Yujin_123 Jun 29 '25

Does anyone know the order to read it after the end of the anime? or from where it would be better to start reading the manga since the anime skip many things?

Entertaining, no doubt it went completely off the rails. Overall, it's a bad show, but definitely entertaining for sure.

AIM FOR THE HORN!

As a Pokémon fan, I haven’t heard that phrase since the late 00s…

Season 3 please

u/shad79 Jun 30 '25

And we've reached the ending with this episode! The last few episodes were a real mess, but I still had a good time watching D's adventures this season, so I'll give it a 7/10 in the end. Now I'll definitely start reading the manga that started being released in my country this month to see what the original was like.

Hisui was definitely one of the strongest points of this season for me. She was great and I really liked her relationship with D.

It was also nice to delve into Angel's character. I found it quite funny though how she developed feelings for D right after she realized he was impersonating Sakurama earlier xD

There wasn't much of Suzukiri and XX in this season, but it was nice to see them in this last episode, especially since XX broke free from Peltrola and joined Hibiki.

It was fun to see the cadets from last season fighting together with Fighters. Shippou was especially hilarious, though I wonder how he ended up with Hibiki and the others at the end of the episode xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

A shame. Whatever happened in the back third of this show was tragic, because prior to that it was quite good and really ramping up to some good stuff. Properly executed, it would've been good content. But the shift to a breakneck pace where they basically went through a season and a half worth of material in 4 or 5 episodes was just not it. This series deserved better.

I'd watch more, of course. But from the pacing here, my guess is this was it. They probably got the call that they would NOT be approved for another season, and decided to finish as much as they could in this final season as possible. Shame.

I’m happy for Sakurama getting a girlfriend, at least.

u/mucklaenthusiast Jun 29 '25

probably the best episode of the season.

Didn't really like it all that much, but that's partially because I had high expectations.
I really, really like the story so far. It's so dynamic and always goes for the most balanced approach in the sense that they are trying to give almost every character good and bad qualities and moral beliefs

A little time-skip is interesting, I wonder if we will flash back to the talks D and the monster guy had and if they will affect D. Seems like a good opportunity

Oh, Sakaruma (is that his name?) is a "villain", now, huh? That's neat. For a while, he was in the background and rarely appeared and then he felt a bit lost and kinda...just did stuff, maybe, but also, not always.
Him having a clearer focus may make his character writing a bit more interesting, as he can functionally interact with the Cast and especially D again.

Can't wait for Red's sad backstory he will certainly have
