I just saw this week's episode. The only question I have now is...why? What was the purpose of this episode? Other than Akyanba's swan song. This episode was pure garbage and it's only purpose seemed to be to put Hammy in a dress while she was obviously lip syncing. I normally keep episodes that have a major villian defeated, but the rest of this episode was trash so it's going where trash belongs. The recycle bin

^ Yep Lucky's father is king of their planet, but is working with Jark Matter - leading to him being deposed and Lucky replacing him as king

His fathers name is also...Aslan (the Lion from the chronicles of Narnia) and Lucky's royalty!

Kyuranger episode 35: I feel like I like this episode more the first time I watched it. I'm reading the comments, and some people seemed to have completely wrote this episode off as just singing idol bullcrap, and I can't blame them, because I almost did, but I thought that scene in the dressing room was great...the first time, but after a rewatch, it's just okay, but it has a problem that's indicative of one of the big problems with Kyuranger and the characters. As a whole, I think this episode is meh.
The Good: I like the idea of this episode, with them having to see what's the deal with Hoshi Minato. It sounds silly, especially with the singing competition, but Jark Matter using it to control people makes it tie into the overall plot, so I'm okay with this episode conceptually. I like the scene with Hammy and Naga in the dressing room. I'm like, "Where was this scene 29 episodes ago when we were doing that Mr. Pega bullcrap?"
The Bad: However, that's one of my problems with that backstory: that it comes this late. One thing I'm realizing as I watch more sentais and KR shows is that backstory is cool, but it's meaningless when it doesn't tie into that character's personality, development, or the plot. Yeah, we learn this stuff about Hammy, but it kinda falls flat because it doesn't tie into her personality. All it is is just information. I don't even know what she means by "An empty heart". Did she used to be an emotionless person, or a person who didn't have much of a reason to live, or an identity, and being a Kyuranger allowed her to learn more about herself? That could have been an interesting character, but what we get is this bland character who laughs at Lucky, for some reason, then stopped doing that, for some reason. Look at a show like Gokaiger, or the current show I'm watching now, OOO, and those characters' backstories perfectly form who they are and tie into the plot, and aren't just exposition so that we can pretend we learned something. That scene with Hammy had potential, but it should have came early, and laid the groundwork to develop her further. That's how you create a fleshed out character.
Also, how many times are they gonna defeat Don Armage? I know this show just hinted at there being multiple Don Armage's, and killing him this many times is supposed to show how powerful he is, but it has the opposite effect. When we do defeat him for the final time, it's gonna fall flat, and not have the impact it should have, especially since SS likes to leave hanging threads for movies down the line.
Next episode: It looks like they go to Lucky's homeworld, help some people, then get the new ShiShi Minor Voyager. It looks straightforward, but this show will most likely find a way to screw it up. It almost always does.

I have just watched Episode 36 on KissAsian. And I can safely say that Lucky definitely took the bombshell about his dad very badly!

Kyuranger episode 36: This episode is baffling to me. It's not bad, but I'm wondering, why are we dealing with this stuff now? I would have loved this kind of potential development to happen earlier in the show, so that we can get it over with and focus on the other characters who are severely underdeveloped.
The Good: I like the monster. I like the fact that it was this weird tentacle monster that was piloting a mech. I like the Gramps character, even if he was just there to be exposition. I like the Kojishi Voyager and Super Kyuren-Oh better than the default versions, and I wish they were the default versions. I like the plotline of them going to Jark Matter's homeworld, only to discover is covered by a galaxy-wide forcefield. I'm curious to see how they deal with that.
The Bad: There's some stuff that doesn't exactly add up to me. When Lucky said he wanted to see the edge of the universe in the premiere, he was lying? Why did he have to lie, and how was this never brought up at all after all of this time? I know he was focused on trying to save the universe, but I'm sure he could have taken some time away from dancing with Pega to worry about his father. It makes this plotline feel like an afterthought, like it wasn't planned at the beginning. Also, Caesar being Lucky's best friend as a kid is just plain sad.
Garu is so infuriatingly pointless. He had this great setup with his species or clan (still haven't made that clear) all being murdered, and him wanting revenge against Jark Matter. Do the writers even remember this? I feel like I'm the only person who remembers this, probably because it was the main thing that made his character interesting, at least potentially interesting. Now all we do is turn him into a joke of a character with this crossdressing bullcrap and that stupid thing with him not knowing that was Champ. You wanna know what episode I've been waiting for since the show started? An episode similar to The Southern Raiders from A:TLA (which is my favorite animated series, and that's my favorite episode). I would have loved to have seen an episode that had Garu come face to face with the guy who lead the attack on his people. It could have been a great character development episode for Garu, but now the extent of his character is being jealous that "Caesar" is Lucky's best friend? That's infinitely lame.
Also, Hammy, not everything is funny. You are a pointless waste of a character.
Also, why did that hit on his head hurt him when he's wearing a helmet?
Next episode: It looks like we're gonna be dealing with Lucky's father, who's named Aslan, because of course (I'm not knocking this. I actually like this). I hope it's a good character developing episode for Lucky, and not just nonsensical bullcrap.

Possible total number of episodes for Kyuranger is 47-49 unless they will air the episodes during Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

episode 36 is another episode that shows why I don't believe Hammy is 19. Her childish demeanor will always have me think of her as just that, a child. Hell even Tsurugi when referring to Hammy called her "a girl." When in Kamen Rider and Super Sentai we've seen young women 19 years of age constantly referred to as "A woman"
