Damn, felt bad for Tougo. He deserves to be treated better. This episode did give him the most character story development.

This episode still had its character bonding moments though. I'm also starting to like Raniya more and she seems to trust Tougo even though she was introduced just recently.

Kizuna Five is good enough to have its own anime instead of being just a show within a show.

Toshiki Inoue holy shit they went extra hard with Toku fanservice today! This was a great backstory episode, I feel like we didn’t really know too much about Togo before so seeing his relationship with his adopted family was nice. Losing both parents at such a young age would mess anyone up. No wonder Togo places so much emphasis on bonds and friendship. He lost his family and gained a new one who helped him cope.

Figured he would end up making Kiyohiro jealous but didn’t see him becoming the big bad of Kizuna five lol. Glad it all worked out in the end. I kinda want a full Kizuna five episode tho! Especially after that Kizuna themed OP today. That would’ve been a cool 12 episode seasonal just seeing the two brothers slowly drift apart and that relationship withering.

Lmao at Yihdra and the others eavesdropping on the story the whole time

Love how the Yihdra gang casually went from eavesdroppers to active audience members to Red's storytime at some point. Though to be fair, if there were a story about the human realm that'd captivate the attention of isekai denizens so completely, it'd be a one from a Super Sentai world.

Looks like Red and Amen are gonna be doing a lot of believing in the hearts bonds of the cards real soon.

It sucks the front facing review of this series page is about this series being corny

when nope, this was just pure awesomeness, just 12/10 genre savviness and love, WE GOT INOUE AND THE DONBROTHERS FLAG CAMEO GO BUSTERS SO MANY THINGS

AND ON TOP OF IT ALL AQUARION MAKES A CAMEO

Bondkillers mecha looks like an evil Aquarion, and Aquarion itself shows up to remind of true bonds

This ep is a masterpiece

This episode was such a treat as a toku fan. I am also very intrigued as to the ending of this episode, I guess the villain next episode will be a reference to some card based toku show.

My fingers began to hurt after I decided to look in the Internet on all the characters on which references were made, LMAO. Does this mean that the original work is in some multiverse of rangers? Or is it just Easter eggs in the adaptation anime?

Also, imagine that you are an ordinary beetle and someone kills you just to show how good archers they can be.

@JD_of_Paradise Are these their versions from the original series or older versions? Because Fandom Wiki seems to imply too many events for them after.

@AkeZZZ All Super Sentai/Power Ranges show are parallel realities for each other? I saw shots with a bunch of different heroes of the same color during some epic battle.

@SevensDran Well evil one looks a bit more like Aquarion Evol then Solar Aquarion to me.

Still I know Aquarion can do some crazy stuff but at least stick to your own franchise.

In the first picture, I think the guy behind Youko with his back to the camera is Shouichi Tsugami/Kamen Rider Agito, too!

@RobertBobert Regarding your first question, I think we're probably not supposed to think too much about the cameos and they definitely aren't canon to the Sentai shows they're from, but if I had to say if these characters are from during or after their series, it would have to be during because


Regarding your second question, I can't speak for Power Rangers, but continuity in Super Sentai is honestly pretty loose and ill-defined. For the most part each series is self-contained and stand alone, but there's also lots of crossover side content that's questionably canon. Sometimes crossovers and teams from other series will be brought up in a show (but never have a big impact on the story), sometimes the show will act like other Sentai don't exist.

@Stark700 But a waste of time, because it took too long to finish his story, as it should be short like the previous episodes.

I had a feeling it was Kiyohiro as soon as I saw the piano keys on his head.
Kinda funny how they kept fighting again and again afterwards.
Looks like the enemy has made their move turning everyone into cards.

Good Lord, this episode. I don't know most cameos, but when Aquarion's fist showed up, I almost forgot someone was sleeping next room, and was about to yell "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS IT DOING HERE?"

Only a squeak came out, fortunately. Biggest WTF moment I can remember this season.

@myrmidon_mamori I did not watch SS or KR besides the first Power Ranges seasons. Therefore, I thought that there is some special meaning in certain scenes.

Yihdra getting jealous... it's adorable.

I like that background story, where the other rangers are being shown more and more, and it's rather nice to watch them.

Btw, they're also adding Aquarion's series... but it won't make me watch the new Aquarion series this 2025 who has kiddy character designs and animations. No thanks.

Then Yu-Gi-Oh?! lols

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

lmao at the fourth wall break with the scriptwriter when Amen thought Red's backstory was getting too intense (burned alive???)

nice, all of other Kizuna Five actors/actresses play their respective Sentai counterparts (Kakuranger, Megaranger, Dekaranger and Go-Busters). That and then some (Donbrothers, Lupinranger, Battle Fever, Jetman, Kamen Rider Agito and even Changerion)

Did Kizunasilver's mecha save Kizunakaiser? no wait... it's just literally Aquarion. So this was also a Satelight tribute as well as a Sentai/Toei Toku tribute.

We got an impromptu episode of Kizuna 5 for Red's backstory with a new opening. They didn't explain how Red became a member of the Kizuna 5 though. Now the bad guys have made their move by turning everyone into Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

So that's why Red is always emphasizing forging bonds. It has been taken away from him when his parents died.

Great episode of Adhesive Squadron, Kizuna Five! That intro was as fantastic as ever.

But seriously this episode was 90% Power Rangers, and I enjoyed it alot. Emotions like envy from those we hold dear are fair game to be tackled in a PG-13 episodic format.
Kiyohiro relapsing into his bondkiller form 13 times makes sense to me. Those reused plotlines are sure to sell more toys!

How cute of Yihdra , seeing Tougo with Raniya made her jelous.

The whole epiosde eexcluding the episode felt like a Power Ranger show.

But we got a lot info on Tougo's past as well and now we know how that black auro appreared in Tougo that one time previously. I'll take it that, once you're affected by relationship end belt you'll get the dark aura and get power buff as you reject bonds.

The writing just keeps getting worse.

It isn't funny or witty, it's just.. juvenile and bad. They are trying really hard to mock power rangers and other such shows, but are doing such a bad job.. can't tell if it's intentional.

And blending in two different terrible stories together is just whole level of stupid, esp. when the background story bits are just lame and uninteresting.
