I feel like this is the advanced version of someone just being edgy wannabe centrist, and I like this manga but still gotta vent this out: like why go turn your civil rights movement into a bunch of monsters ? I get that the writer is Japanese, has a different relationship with these things too, and that theres a bit of missed translation there on behalf of the writer too. So like now its the writer is just against people being in protest, and they get turned into monsters because they're bandwagoners? Just doesn't sit well here.

But now we're bringing up literal colonialism powered weapons ? Like shit literally made out of the bones of a conquered family, fueling your public spending fraud scheme, all in the backdrop of a now mutant powered revolution. But also no protesting, you better be free thinker like D.

I think that this manga is entertaining but seems like it could not make up its mind to be a shonen battle anime or a seinen political thriller. Honestly I think they put in too many fights, especially after they sold us on there being fake power rangers. They should not have sent D right to a bunker to go fight a fake war, which was then restarted? I got so many questions like "what does the government look like?" , "is everyone who was against the rangers part of the invaders rights association?", "how do other governments view this situation?" no instead we just get another flashy dumb sentai battle. Its just that the pacing here is absolutely broken by this manic need for battle, in the worst possible way.

This "civil right" movement want the entire human kind under the Invaders, obviously they aren't in the right, obviously the Rangers neither. There isn't a good side here, neither D is the good side because he want to beat them just because he want to be in the top and don't be a footsoldier anymore.

I think the political messaging is about justice being used as a political tool and propaganda being the cultural engine for it's proliferation. It's very much like Max Stirner philosophy, a focus egoism and the individual being total while the only natural right being the one of insurrection. Seems very individualistic and anarchistic in it's political tone. But ofc it's also a deconstruction and satire of Super Sentai, showing how heroes are often just political tools for securing wealth and Empire. That is ofc if we focus on D as the moral standard in this work.

Man there is so much shit happening at the same time now that none of it is making any progress
How did that midget just pop up in the basement? Last we saw she woke up ON TOP of the castle?
Author should have wasted less time on developing useless characters in the ranger training arc
Maybe he wouldnt have had to rush the shit out of every lose end here

LIKE HOW HAVE XX AND PINK BOY STILL DONE FUCK ALL
