So, remember when I asked what would happen if someone refused the S&M club's call? Yeah, well, they just gave him a freshly washed brain and forced him to cause havoc. #Dairanger #SuperSentai

Well, the brat tells his dad his plan, including using it to make the dad bow to him, so the three main S&M club members decide the brat's plan...is THEIR plan, only instead his dad's gonna do it, thus control his other son more directly! #SuperSentai #Dairanger

I think having seen Jetman and this series you can tell Zyuranger was a "shift" in the Super Sentai franchise the same way UY influenced the 80s anime scene.

Seeing as time is going too slow for the club, the lil' bastard decides Kou's gonna be asleep, and in this nightmare, until he turns ten!

Meanwhile, Serptenta---I mean "The Horror King" is coming! #SuperSentai #Dairanger

So, turns out the other side of the the power, the Yo Power that fuels the Evil S&M Club of Evil that's half of Kou's bloodline? Yeah, turns out the club doesn't have to wait until his birthday to get closer...something is pumping the Yo side of his blood via his dreams. #Dairanger #SuperSentai

Freud would have a field day with Kou having dreams of his Mom tied and gagged.

Look I know what the series was doing for dramatic effect but I'm just saying...

Ya know, considering some of these Evil S&M Club of Evil Monsters have their roles so baked in it's there names, have one of 'em actually REFUSED the call? Told 'em "I love my peaceful life, I'm living up to my name of Useru Kars Mun?" #Dairanger #SuperSentai

"I'm in Kou's Dreams!"
...and the Saber just Vulcan Mind Meld into Kou's dreams and now we have a whole Beautiful Dreamer situation!

I bring this up because the Pachinko monster here is the monster that brainwashed Rocky into being a fun seeking jerk ass. #SuperSentai #Dairangers

Wow! This episode already has so much going on.
#DaiRanger #GoseiSentaiDaiRanger #SuperSentai #Episode37 #TokuTime @digiranma.bsky.social

Meanwhile, Daigo and Shoji are losing...badly...at the Pachinko parlor, until Great Famous Pachinko Player shows up to show it's all in the wrist!

Oh, and being in the evil S&M Club of Evil helps. #SuperSentai #Dairanger

...and Kou...uh...I think he needs an exorcist.

Okay so Kameo can still retain his human form. The episodes kinda left that up in the air after he became the Team Mecha!

Rin calls Ryo and Kazu as something is happening to Kou!

(Sees the area around Kou glowing as he floats in mid-air and the room's getting trashed)

...I think that's puberty... #SuperSentai #Dairanger

We open on Kamo with Kou and Kazu looking at the moon through a telescope.

Somewhere, there's an old witch sneezing right now... #SuperSentai #Dairanger #PowerRangers

Up next, our boy Kameo's back and he senses something big's coming! "You Have to See it! Enormous One!" #Dairangers #SuperSentai

The only other time the environment factors into this show was the whole bit with the dolls...and even THAT came the frak out of nowhere. I'm not saying it can't have it, I'm saying DO SOMETHING WITH IT. #SuperSentai #Dairanger

Ok, first off, I like this episode. I'm a sucker for anything that develops the heroes and villains beyond heroes and villains and made me feel something for Gara.

But I can't help but think the environment stuff is shoehorned in. #Dairanger #SuperSentai

Monster blows up, our heroes win the day, and Kajaku keeps dying because we keep pollutin'. #Dairanger #SuperSentai

The count blows up, thus grows up, and we get our traditional giant robots fight monster...uh...fight.. #SuperSentai #Dairanger
