According to what I've heard Toei has switched their filming schedule from the fall to the spring. So we may not get a Kyuranger vs Zyuohger and instead get a Kyuranger vs Patroranger & Lupinranger

I don't know how true it is, but I've heard the last two episodes will be a team up with Zyuohger, because something about one of the Zyuohger actors not being able to film the team up movie.

^ That was speculation based on Tusk's actor being off his social media for a while after he was questioned by police about a minor road accident he caused. But this happened in early November - after the usual time for a Vs Movie to be announced, so it seems the decision had already been made that it wouldn't be a theatrical movie. If the Zyuohgers are going to be in the final episode they should appear in the February scans towards the end of January

Am I the only one annoyed by Hammy being in scenes where she didn't belong in episode 43?

Still hoping we get some kind of a team up between the two teams.

I hear ya Neo, but compared to all of the other non-suit actors she has had the least amount of screen time along with spada, and I think they just wanna give them enough time to make it worth it. Here's hoping Pato Pink and Lupin Yellow get their fair share. With teams of 3 they easily should.

Especially since she's been the one selected to go on most mission. And if that is what you meant then you'd be hard pressed to find someone to argue with that. However that doesn't let what they are doing fly. Hammy and Lucky have never had an episode involving a real conversation or even establishing that they are not just teammates, but friends. Now in the past two episodes they shoehorned her into the situation involving Lucky's father and then when Lucky is dealing with his father's death SHE's the one that is the emotional comfort? Not only is that unbelievable via the story established so far, but we all know why they did it. Every single person on this board knows why they put Hammy there. So that when the end of the season rolls around they can justify a Hammy/Lucky romance,

^ I would be more inclined to agree if they hadn't done a similar thing with Hammie during the Evil!Naga arc - she'd barely spoken to him before, now suddenly they were close friends and she was all concerned about him. Also the show has been pushing Spada/Raptor a lot more blatantly, I think if they were going to set up Lucky with Hammie that it would have happened before this Here's hoping Pato Pink and Lupin Yellow get their fair share. With teams of 3 they easily should. I wouldn't be so sure about that. We still have six Rangers overall - and there have been several teams of three where some of the core Rangers still weren't fleshed out or didn't get a lot of screen time, usually because the show was promoting other characters (Rio and Mele, Shurikenger, the Gouraigers, etc.) at the expense of the main team. Even Sun Vulcan, the only team that stuck to three Rangers all throughout the show and never added any more, had this problem!

Kyuranger episode 43: I don't really have much to say about this episode. I thought this was another solid episode in the lead up to the finale.
The Good/Bad: This is weird, because a lot of the good I have to say ties seamlessly into the bad I have to say. This episode is more action-heavy, which I suppose is not a bad thing, but it makes it feel like the episode has less plot, so it feels like there's less things to unpack from this episode, and I want to think it's not just because it's a multi-parter. I think this episode hinged on how invested we are in the characters, and relied on this show being better than it was. I feel like this episode, just the way it is, would have played completely different if it followed a season that properly developed its characters and this storyline. It feels like this episode thinks it's better than it is, with how it ties to be emotional with Aslan sacrificing himself, and I think it would have worked better if this show was better. I like that we're developing Lucky, but like I said before, I wish it was going to some other characters.
I like the scene with Tsurugi and Don Armage. I hear some people saying that his true form is Kuervo. Even if I believed that, I'm not sure I would like it. If there is a major flaw I have with this episode, it's that the whole storyline with the Planetium Bomb felt anticlimactic. Saying the whole universe is gonna be destroyed already takes some of the stakes out because you know the universe is not gonna be destroyed, but if they spent all the rest of the season dealing with it, I could have been okay with it, but it's just 3 episode and it's over. I thought that was lame.
Also, I like the idea of them throwing a Christmas party to cheer up Lucky, but the tone change at the end is jarring. Ex-Aid you are not, Kyuranger, but at least Ex-Aid had the smarts to start lighthearted and end dramatic, so it worked there. Here, it kinda undercut the drama a little.
Next episode: However, it feels like there is gonna be some repercussions from that, with planets exploding, and Hammy's hair is green, for some reason. Also, Mr. Pega is back. No one missed him.

I think the whole incident with Evil Naga and the way Hammy acted was more from Guilt. That she felt responsible for causing the situation. And that end part I'd agree as well which is another reason this whole thing makes me mad

^ Still, there's no particular reason why Hammie should be the one to cause it; she was just thrown in there like she was with Lucky. But, yeah, I don't think they're going to be an item (unless it happens suddenly in the V-Cinema epilogue - like Yakumo and Kasumi in Ninninger)

^That's disgusting their cousins was that filmed in Japan or Alabama. Also Kaizoku while I am hoping you are right. The bottom line is this the Naga thing was played completely differently than it was with Lucky. If you tell someone "if you think this is something you need to do than go do it," and it backfires the way it did you'd feel responsible for it and bear the burden of guilt. So while there was a reason for Hammy to get involved in the Naga situation there is no reason for her to be involved in Lucky's. Stinger, yes. Tsurugi, yes. Garu, absolutely. Shou, yes. Hell there is a case to be made that Raptor would have been better. And don't act like last minute romances are impossible, remember Daigo and Amy?

My point being: there is no explanation as to why Hammie had to be the one used for this storyline. Why wasn't it Garu or Stinger or Spada who said something to Naga and then felt guilty when this led to him turning evil? No reason given, just like this latest episode with Lucky.
Last-minute romances aren't impossible, but in Kyoryuger, Daigo/Amy was consistent with the way the show had already written relationships (a single line of dialogue in an early episode was considered justification for a supposedly plot-important romance at the end - which we had already seen with Nossan/Candelira.) Kyuranger hasn't had anything like this so far. We'll have to see
