I thought it was something more like you can't really be stronger if you do things alone. It really depends how Takaharu uses the knowledge in the end.
Yes, but it's been 4 episodes and everything has been about him. If the grandpa wants to give the title of Last Ninja to Takaharu, he should have just explained it from ep 1 and the others would have understood and help him in his quest. I don't see any point in making them compete if it's to show Takaharu being the best.
And I insist: plotwise, it makes a bad episode. Why bother showing the scene where Yakumo invents a plan (and a cool one) to save Takaharu. It didn't make any sense.
It's not a unique situation anyway. For example, if you want to view it that way, Dekaranger was all about teamwork for most of the series, only for the team to be used as a stepping stone by Ban to become a supercop.
Yes, but from episode 2 Ban was put to his place for acting like that, and Hôji was actually stronger than him in the beginning, but had less potential. THough through this interaction Ban became a super cop. Here, it was made clear that Takaharu was the strongest, so there isn't that kind of interaction, and the small element of interest they seemed to had introduced in this episode just blows up, ending with Takaharu kind of understanding he's super strong.
Also, in Deka, all the characters had a role inside the team. Between Jasmine's esper power and Sencha's investigation skills, they created a consistent whole. I really don't see that here.
If you take Shinkenger, it is made REALLY clear from episode 1 that Takeru/Shinkenred is the strongest. But it made sense with the universe. And after
I don't mind Takaharu saving Kasumi once, since well, Kasumi saved him once, too. Takaharu has to be useful somehow (since he's basically all flash, but pretty much no substance for most of the 4 episodes). But I kinda wish Kasumi shines in a less subtle way this time around.
I hope so too. I mean if she wanted to become a scientist, I hope that at least the Sealing Shuriken will change to the UFO Shuriken thanks to her.
On ToQger, it's first few episodes (and most of the series actually) never caught my attention like Ninnin does. None of the characters at this point of ToQ were really distinctive.
As I claimed above, I don't think the characters are distinctive in Ninninger. They have personalities, but that's pretty much it.
Also, ToQger was about the group, so I could understand what you're saying, but I'm really surprised: how can you say that ?
Light didn't get an episode centered around him until ep 5. Ep 2 was about Hikari, 3 Kaguya and 4 Tokacchi and Mio. And their personalities were clear.
SPOILER ALERT
[HIDE]Even though Toqger ended in being centered around Red, I concede that.[/HIDE]
