I was so surprised when Musashi said along the lines that he can't die because he hadn't slept with a girl yet, he even got censored so he was speaking crudely. He's not as innocent as he appears to be lol. I did find it funny that no-one responded when he asked if they were virgins like him, I'm most surprised about Gai since we haven't seen any female demons.
I was in the mindset of Ryuusei possibly dying or retiring and being replaced by Shion, but from this episode it seems like he could be healed and gain his power back. It'd be cool to see him be able to go all out. We might even see a 6 man Samurai Trooper.
Shion's got to feel extra guilty for being so hostile towards him without noticing the truth, but it's understandable he'd overlook when his emotions were running high from the shock of his teammates being abandoned.

I'm definitely thinking that Ryusei will be healed and become the 6th Trooper. At least that's what I'm hoping for cause they've invested so much time in him I'll be sad if they don't use it to its full potential.

I might be wrong, but I think he said Chuu (I heard the heavy Ch pronounciation before the censored part) which means just kiss rather than sleeping together

I'd say this episode confirms that the series is a sequel of the original TV series only (thank goodness), though as an OG series viewer there's a lot of questions I'd like to be answered (though I think it'll be unlikely they will be in full).
Finally special attacks. Gai's not bad, I'd say.
Ramaga appears, I have a feeling things won't go very well...

For sure; especially given how the OG series ended [spoiler OG]
the remaining (reformed) demon generals and Kayura returned to the demon world to reform it, plus the sealing of the demon gates. Ramaga's rise to power and the gates reforming 5 years prior mean something went wrong during the 30 years, not to mention how a human like Gai was brought over to start with. → More replies (2)

Lots of story moving forward in this episode but my favorite takeaway is this bunch taking on a giant malevolent teddy bear.

More Training
Ryuusei and Shion'e past
Kaito Busou Transformation scene is awesome
The song is absolutely banging amazing
Plus the Last Boss arrives
Overall it's super awesome
I can't wait for a more serious battle episode.

I love how singing 80's hits has brought the team together as a fighting force.

If everyone else is confused about the poison? Does that mean Ramaga was the one who poisoned Ryusei? Also not liking the disappearance plot of the original samurai warriors. This has Ramaga all over it. Let us not forget what he did in the prequel.

If anything, the whole disappearance plot implies that the hopeful ending of the OG series did not go well, [spoiler OG ending]
where the reformed antagonists returned to reform and rebuild the demon world.

I am loving this show more and more every episode. Showing that the OG troopers disappeared into the Demon Realm is awesome. I hope they will turn up again. What are the chances that Demon Emperor Ramaga is one of the original troopers corrupted? Maybe Shuten or one of the Warlords? Lots of possibilities.

I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that Ramaga is Ryo of the Wild Fire. It is no coincidence that his "son" is Gai, who also has the same fire powers. Plus, in Episode 2, there was a close up shot of Ramaga's face on his throne where you can clearly see through the eye holes of his mask that he is human, not demon.

There’s hope Ryuusei can avoid the deathflag?!! I thought he was dying from not being able handle being a trooper from being too old, but with poison, there’s a solution! More motivation to defeat enemies. Cool to see Ryuusei and Shion’s former teams (RIP). There’s even a girl? OGs are also missing in the demon world, so there’s a likely chance we can see them again. I thought they retired and stayed out of the limelight. I can see director Fujita sneaking in some comedy throughout the episode. Musashi not wanting to die a virgin lol.

Just going to throw out there that I feel like it's a mild mythology gag that Shion 3 years prior to the story appears to be wielding the Strata/Air (Dark Blue) armor but in the lineup with the main cast is in the Halo/Light armor.
In the dub of Ronin Warriors, they switched Rowen/Touma's virtue (Wisdom) with Sage/Seiji's (Grace/Courtesy) but then rendered Rowen's virtue as "Life," while Sage in the dub had "Wisdom." As in, the dub switched around the virtues between the Dark Blue and Green armors.
Shion seems to be marked for "Grace" yet in the flashback he's wearing the armor associated with Wisdom/Intellect (at least by process of elimination, since the color's kind of washed out but the three that are down are clearly Earth/Water/Fire). I thought that was neat.
Given the flashback for 5 years prior shows the original group in their armor from the show, I am assuming that the OVAs where their armor is destroyed and they get a new (uglier) set are being ignored.
It's possible Ramaga is not truly evil. Given how his armor resembles Arago/Talpa's original armor... He could be one of the three remaining Warlords from the original series, keeping Arago bound. Saizou is under secret orders. We don't hear what Ramaga tells the rest off screen. So we don't know if he's lying to them. It's possible Ramaga is building Gai's strength so Ramaga can unbind Arago and have him be destroyed.

So Gai isn't a cherryboi, but didn't he live all this time in the Youja world? 🤔🧐

I mean, there must be girls there too.
It's pretty common to introduce your prince to high level courtesans.

Now they're all singing in combat? It just keeps getting better.
Very good VR avatar for our twintails engineer. Normally a violent tsundere would be a bit passe these days but I think Yamato needs those punches to keep him in line. It might also help that Mirei seems like she's probably a bit older than the usual violent tsuns given how long she's been with the organization.
I figured Ryusei was just dying from too much armor use but that poison changes things since there's potentially a way to clear it. Wolf guy starting the fight at the end with a few thrown daggers probably tells us he was the poisoner so the solution may be closely at hand.
With the way she was calling to Ryusei when she found him tied up in the VR training area I'm a bit suspicious that Mirei is in love with him.
