I don't see the connection. What about it was ripping off Garo?
The big deathblow to the theory for me is why bother planting a clue if you're going to do it in a language the intended audience doesn't understand?

Maybe it's the exact same shirt used back then that someone found in TOEI's wardrobe department o.o

I''m quite blown away by this episode. I feel the depth of the theme and idea of ToQGer runs a lot deeper than the past 3-4 series combined.
I really really really like that idea of them being "good as dead" and coming from a town where the Shadow Line has taken over.
I'd also throw a theory that in reality they ARE JUST still children, and magically they have turned into adults upon the Rainbow Line. Chosen because of their dynamics and strong imagination (eg look at Kagura), they were saved or something and became fighters.
I'm willing to bet the 6th ranger would either be their 6th friend under the tree, or a legit adult who MIGHT for irony's sake be turned into a kid in the team or just stay as an adult, "guiding" them along.. very much like MagiGold to the other Magirangers.
The ally team has been interesting so far.. there's a very Pinkie Pie kinda idyllic setting in the Rainbow Line, which is really interesting me thinks.
The villains seem to be interesting too. I wanna see what Grita can do, since she's got a crush on that German/Austrian general but her mom wants to betroth her to the King.
All in all I think this will be an awesome series if they keep up with this theme and the AMAZING dialogue - Hikari's statement on being afraid of heights so he wouldn't mind being the anchor, and then cracking a joke to show us that he's the serious guy but still really kiddy inside.. that was the best part.
My favorite is still Blue. so adorable and dorky character is my favorite.
So far I see the team as this... in their child form back in their hometown
Right - Leader, stubborn, headstrong, Mary Sue
Tokkati (we don't even get to know Blue's name more than once!) - Oldest, nerd, book smart yet not street smart
Yellow - motherly, "big sister".. like Luka from Gokaiger but less swag and more gentleness. Also the mediator.
Hikari - the "logic".
Kagura - probably the youngest (or 2nd youngest to Hikari from my observations). self-esteem issues/insecurities. probably reliant on Right (please don't throw a random shipping writers)
I still hate Kagura a lot.. her nose reminds me of a creature. and she kinda looks like a Gargoyle. also that hair needs to go... don't young girls have cooler hairstyles even as a kid these days?
The mecha is still gross, although the emergency "breakdown" of the robot was cool. But the colors are soooo so disgusting, it's like 5 crayons ewwwwwwwwwww

Toq 2:
- Watching Wagon makes me miss Colon. I don't think she'll be taking blows for Light anytime soon.
- Ticket might be more palatable were he some creature perched on the shoulder instead of a dumb hand puppet. But even so there's not much point of having two helper characters. Why not just Conductor and Wagon? Or is that too close to Owner and Naomi? It's not like you're not already shamelessly ripping from Den-O as it is.
- They have to pay Wagon to eat? With what? Is there actual money on their passes? If so, how does that work? This is not even a regular train. Or is it actually part of some business that's in the superhero field?
This is what happens when you take a motif way too far.
- Where exactly does this train run? Commuter rails? Doesn't it dimension-hop like the Shadows? I'm assuming only people who imagine the train will see it, right? Wouldn't that then mean it may look different to different people? Or must people coincidentally imagine some specific image?
Also, if the Resshas run on regular rails, what happens if a normal train is going on the same track? Do they pass through them like ghosts?
- Those extras wandering around look funny.
- I like that they don't wear those large braces all the time. In past shows it always looks awkward and perhaps uncomfortable when they do it in public.
- Will there be a Scope Ressha mecha?
- Sabre Shadow looks like a remodeled Worm. Why does he have a tail though?
- Grita's fingernails are heart-shaped.
- This show has no eyecatch. Is this just the third or fourth Sentai ever to not have one? Did Go-Busters have one? I don't remember.
- ... Why is there a giant fork??
- That duel was fun.

It probably runs everywhere, no matter where they go.
Hopefully, they do.
If I remember correctly, Fiveman didn't have a Eye Catch. Neither did Gokaiger or Go-Busters.

Her shtick of 'I am strong!' or something should be used sparingly because it's getting old really fast. And yes, her nose if just a bit... jarring? Like she's pretty but her nose makes her look, idk, wicked.

Can someone tell me where they heard that ? I'm not watching the sub since I can speak Japanese, but I didn't hear it...actually I don't even think it's ever said...
Time and caption anyone ?

I think it's only a translation choice:
