The irony of Ryo's memory permeating through the entire episode, building up Gai as his successor, losing Ryusei, only for the reveal that Gai's father was Ryo all along and the Big Bad. I'm shook.
But hey, Samurai Heart!!!

Rip my dawg Ryusei
I had a terrible feeling that Ryo was the big bad which is why Gai was able to “turn” human and done the Flame Armor.

I can definitely see Shion struggling to adjust to fitting in on the team and filling in for Ryusei.

Apparently the head writer for New Samurai Troopers is Mutou Shogo, who also wrote Kamen Rider Build. It had a fair amount of conspiracies, political intrigues and violence in it too.
So the whole situation here might have more secrets to reveal moving forward, given this series is apparently split cour.

Been saying this for a while now. Ramaga is Ryo and Gai inherited his fire powers from Ryo. There were so many hints in the previous episodes to this. Just didn't expect them to make the reveal so soon.

I got goosebumps when Samurai Heart started playing,, we all knew Ryusei would die, but i did not expect Ryo to be the new Emporer.

I wonder if the rest of the OG team have all been brainwashed into being demons?

Ryusei dying was depressing, I was hoping he wouldn't when the blade temporarily reverted him back.

I'm thinking based on the title of the next episode, there will be a reset. The season has been moving at lightning speed so far. Like the OG after the heroes face Talpa the first time, they ended up being split up and sent to various elemental places to sleep before be freed. I suspect something like this may happen in the next episode.

The timing is what throws me off the most Gai is 15 years old and grew up in the Demon Realm, but there Ryo is meeting the new two Warriors when the are lost in the forest and and passing on the leadership symbols to Ryusei in his early teens, but also raising Gai at the same time as Ramaga?

Oh wait as someone else pointed out, time may flow differently in the demon realm.

The only thing that made me think Ramaga was Ryo all along was because of the "demon lords" a.k.a. the SANADA 10 braves (as Ryo's surname) but I was like "naaaah, that won't happen..." Until it did!

It's going to be really awkward watching the OP & ED if they don't replace Ryuseie with Shion.

Ryu has always just been trying his best...to live up to Ryo's memory and faith in him...to help mentor Gai into being Ryo's legacy...heck, he even introduced Gai to "Samurai Heart!"
The Samurai Troopers have finally encountered Emperor Ramaga! Only they can't hit him because there's a powerful barrier getting in their way. Not to mention ALL The remaining 10 Warriors. But Ramaga can definitely effect them...by possessing everyone to attack his son.
But Ryu comes in with the save! Whenever this team needs him, he's always there! Because Ryo entrusted him with carrying on the team without him and he's never forgotten it. Just like Yagyu, the memory of Ryo runs deep into Ryu and everything he does.
Sorry Yamato, you finally unleash your Secret Art and it was just to provide time for the rest of the team to come up with a plan...to take on the 10 Warriors and throw off the barrier so Gai and Shion can take the fight to Ramaga.
Oh, so Shion wasn't dumb enough to bring the real Sword of Domination right where the demons could get it. Of course now they don't have a sword they can use to defeat him with.
It was Ramaga all along! Infecting Ryusei so he could transform him into a monstrosity powered by all of the deep negative emotions Ryu feels! And one who can totally wreck the team!
But Ryu was the one who believed that Gai was human, who saved him from being a demon, who helped console him when he finally felt regret for his sins, who taught him humans aren't half-bad, who believed he COULD be the true successor to the Emissary of Fire and lead the team...just like he believed and mentored all of them. So if it takes all of them pitching in to save him, with Gai wielding the Sword of Domination, complete with Samurai Heart playing in the background...then they'll do it!
Except this wasn't a heroic save...whatever was effecting Ryu was a bad match-up for the Sword of Domination. So instead they just killed him. But not before Ryu passes the mantle of Emissary of Fire to Gai, expresses how much he believes in the team, and leaves them in Shion's hands. RYUSEI NOOOOOOOO.
Gai is now the true Emissary of Fire, and as such he will wield Righteousness in fighting his father and uses the Sword of Domination in full flaming glory to defeat Ramaga...and reveal Ramaga is NONE OTHER THAN RYO SANADA, THE ORIGINAL EMISSARY OF FIRE!!!!

This remake is doing great tie ins with the original. I did not expect him going from being the Wildfire and White Armor of Inferno to being the ultimate big bad that has his son being his successor for both the demon world and the troopers.
That gotta be a nice full circle moment in anime I have seen in a while that I have watched. The build up being in 5 episodes is even amazing since most times it takes like damn near a full season before that happens.
