KISHIRYU SENTAI RYUSOULGER EPISODE 1 SERIES
Backing him up directly are Melto/Ryusoul Blue and Asuna/Ryusoul Pink, who as the first three introduced in the series definitely feel like the core unit of the show. He gets the most power ups and is the centre of the biggest storylines, but most of the times these are the parts of Ryusoulger that are actually worth remembering. Koh is basically placed as the everyman - the happy go lucky but highly skilled warrior that can be innocent and cheery one minute but still give a hot-blooded speech about the values of truth and justice when the time is right. Ryusoulger does a pretty good job of bypassing this, so while it may show some preference toward Koh and having him directly lead the team as Ryusoul Red the series still feels like a team effort that gives everyone a distinct place. It's only those times where it comes at the expense of the entire team and the Red Ranger is seemingly relied on for everything that it's a real problem. Red-centricity is often considered a major issue for Super Sentai, but ultimately the red ranger is generally considered to be the main character so there's also going to be some bias toward him no matter what. Half of the show is absolute gold that really shouldn't be missed, while the other half is completely forgettable. Ryusoulger on the other hand I fully endorse this approach. Personally I've never been a fan of that approach - even though Super Sentai series usually contain a lot of episodes viewers try to write off as "filler", those episodes usually have some nuance to them and are great for individual character development that the main story just doesn't allow for. Usually when a Sentai series ends some fan out there in the world will come up with a list of only the "core" story episodes, exclaiming that for viewers who don't want to sit through the whole thing these are the episodes you'd need to see to get the general gist of it.

The show may have had ideas, but they certainly weren't enough to carry it through a full 48-episode run. However things rarely turn out the way fans hope, and it didn't take long for Ryusoulger to start showing cracks in that dinosaur-themed armour.

Ryusoulger had scope and it had ideas, and given the move away from the usual production staff many hoped this would lead to a more standout, less predictable show. The heavier themes often counteracted with some of the show's sillier elements, but arguably Super Sentai is at its best when it at least tries to balance these two elements. It seemed like the direction that Super Sentai needed to be heading it, and the focus on human despair (even branching down into darker topics like suicide) gave the stories an additional weight that kept things interesting for older fans as well. The opening episode was steeped in Gingaman-esque lore about the Ryusoul knights, the fights were flashy and the mecha introduction burst with an fast-paced energy that's seldom seen in the franchise. This series marks the tokusatsu debut of J-drama writer Junpei Yamaoka, and was directed by Kazuya Kamihoriuchi – a man who particularly caught the attention of viewers for his work on Kamen Rider Build.įirst episodes are very rarely representative of a Super Sentai series as a whole, but with all the stops Toei pulled out for the Ryusoulger premiere it was hard not to be excited for the "similar but different" approach they seemed to be taking. The production side of things also saw a something of a shake-up too, with plenty of faces new to Sentai brought on board to give it a fresh new feel. Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger is the 43rd entry in the Super Sentai franchise, with the dinosaur theme having last been used back in 2013 with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.
But it's been long since thought that when the franchise is trouble it always has the sure fire success of dinosaurs to fall back on, rolling the motif out for a fourth time might not bode a whole lot of confidence. Though through all the speculation about falling ratings and declining toy sales the only ones who really know what it means are Bandai, Toei and TV-Asahi, it's at least fair to say it's place in the tokusatsu pecking order has changed somewhat. Super Sentai isn't in the best of states right now.
