Yeah, the Rasetsu arc was when things got more comedic. While there were comedic eps earlier in the show, they were often balanced out with serious eps and characters development eps. In this arc, we got a bunch of silly eps all in a row:
Eps 32 and 33: These two eps mark Rasetsu's arrival. He shows that he means business by blowing the city up several times, just to get a meal. Pretty evil if you ask me. Also introduces Fuutaro.
Next, we get eps 34 to 38, which were five silly eps all in a row:
34. The ep with Charcoal Org. Rasetsu's plan was to get him to cook for him, rather than blowing up the city again. Oh, and the actor playing Charcoal Org is awesome. :thumbs:
35. Ep with Blacksmith Org. Rasetsu wanted to turn the Gaoranger's weapons into forks and spoons as a work of art. Also the ep where Sae gets all arrogant and gets mad.
36. Ep where Tetom and Shirogane (Silver) get into an argument. Rasetsu uses Magic-Flute Org to get people to dance (including the Gaoranger), interfere with Tetom's song, and to entertain him when he's dining.
37. The ep with Yabaiba and his brother, Juggling Org.
38. Ep with Animal Tamer Org. Ends with Fuutaro revealed as Gao God.
Eps 39 and 40 (The Gao God arc) seem to get mixed reception from fans. Mostly due to varying opinions on GaoGod's plans and the overall humans vs nature plot itself.
41. The Xmas ep.
42, 43, and 44. Rasetsu gets back in business, much like how he was in eps 32 and 33.
45. The review ep.
46. New Years ep. Gaorangers try to find the Org's Matrix, while Yabaiba tries to stop them with New Year's Org and his weird games. After this ep, it's endgame.
