WAAAAAAAAAAA. WTFWTFWTFWTF!
Episode 19 is totally... damn words can't describe it. Hot ****. Jan was fucking cool this ep. Man, his power was totally unexpected. And him standing there after taking that hit from Rio, while the other 2 rangers were down? Simply BADASS. God, he really is worthy of being called the Unbreakable Body, he took 2 full powered hits from Rio and could still keep going. Simply unbelievable.
I love Shafu's absolute faith in his students. And I love Rio's cold look towards Shafu, and his newfound cockiness. That actor can really act evil!
And that final scene with them walking in the sunset. Nothing short of epic. Boukenger was my first Sentai series, and I was bloody disappointed. But now, Geki has shown me what Sentai can be. Geki has shown me how awesome Sentai can be, especially to a disillusioned PR fan like me who laments the lack of a coherent plot in PR nowadays.
Next ep looks brutal. God, I'm more hyped for this than Den-O. In fact, this is one of those rare few toku eps where I wish I had the Hyper Zecter to fast forward time.
Edit: I just noticed. The three Kensei each took on a ranger of a different color. Are they trying to teach the rangers to overcome their weaknesses? Like Retsu has to learn to have Heart, Ran needs an Unbreakable Body, while Jan needs Technique. And boy are these Kensei brutal!
