In this episode, Jasmine makes her comeback along with Doggie and Ban, but mostly Doggie and the space police arrest Marvelous for multiple counts of piracy… and he is not aware of it! What will the Gokaigers do now that their Captain is on the hands of a giant alien dog?
If there is one thing that I hate about this episode is that Koichi Sakamoto made the entire episode feel like I am watching Power Rangers SPD due to the amount of wire work found but hey, SPD is a good show so I have no problems with the wire work! Anyways, the action is really good, especially Marvelous’ out of suit fights with Doggie… and his hands are cuffed while he fights Doggie!
As for the lesson that Marvelous learned in this episode, to be exact, it was the opposite, Doggie learned something from Marvelous, about their honor and that they will do everything just to protect it. To be honest, I was expecting that Doggie will teach them the value of right judgment, but hey, I have no problems with what is the theme of this episode since it is close with Dekaranger’s theme.
In this episode, they transformed into Go-Onger, Dairanger and Dekaranger. Like Koichi Sakamoto promised, he will throw a reference to Power Rangers, and it is in the form of GokaiYellow using the wheels on her cuffs as offense… and RPM is the only show who utilizes Go-Onger’s wheels as offense! Cool. The Dairanger fights are really good, seriously, even if they retained the fight styles of the original teams, they added their own spice! Don using the broom as a rod, anyone?
As for the Dekaranger fights, it is really good asides that they used the Dekaranger theme while they are fighting the MOTW. My only disappointment is that unlike the Magiranger fight in which they used the MagiPhone, they never used the SP License and cast upon “Judgment” to the MOTW! It is understandable considering that they are not police officers in the first place!
For the DekaGokaiOh, it looks better compared to the MagiGokaiOh since it doesn’t have a giant dragon head in front of its chest. Anyways, I love how they use the CGI with its fights, it is well balanced with the action footage and also pulled a couple of Dekaranger references while they are at it!
For the Dekaranger cameos, I was disappointed with Ban’s appearance… a bit. Sure, he matured a lot and it is fine with me but I was disappointed that he never did much in the episode asides that he gives his speech about them using their powers properly. Also, I noticed his voice matured a bit… and he never screamed for once. EEEEHHH?!
Overall, it is one great episode. Asides that we have Doggie being the “mentor” figure instead of Ban (I would laugh if Ban will play the mentor role, no seriously), the fight scenes are really good and that we saw a couple of the Dekarangers again.
