I can already see the comments for the anime. 5% Where are the subtitles? 5% Peak of the season 90% WTF is going on?
So the special weapons the Rangers use were made from the bones of the real original Rangers. The chick with long hair that helped d in the beginning was one of them and that's why she wanted to retrieve the weapons. She ends up leaving d and rescuing all the clones of her they had that were being used for weapon production.Ive been reading this manga since the first chapter and I have legit not a clue what is happening. I sort of assumed my brain would ease into the rough idea of what's going on over time but that hasn't happened. Either my IQ is too low or some cultural barrier keeps me from grasping what is going on.
I generally hate comments like "lmao this is just X on drugs" but this feels to me like the author binge-watched power rangers while huffing computer dusters and scribbling plot points on post-it notes he scattered all over his appartment to find at random intervals during the publication run.
Going to be eight more in universe months for that. god knows how long that'll really be, at least for D anyway. End of 125 states that it took a year and 2 months for Yakushi to die, while the start of this arc tells us it's only 6 months since that incident.God, I just want to see Hisui, Angel and D again.
Theres quite alot of post-modern influence here (hence why is pretty confusing). Though this is in part fault of the writer, they're kinda like someone who is an expert at say like a guitar or a harp but then are trying to play the violin. The fundamentals are solidly there but they lack the chops to truly make a story that they wanted to write properly shine.Ive been reading this manga since the first chapter and I have legit not a clue what is happening.

the same happened with his work before 5toubun (rengoku no karma), series was going great and suddenly resets and takes another look with other MC while trying to tie both stories in a lackluster manner.Theres quite alot of post-modern influence here (hence why is pretty confusing).

My case of this being pretty postmodern-inspired is the whole "demigure like" reign that the rangers have, a literally manufactured security state wherein there is a perpetual war encasing the populating in a state of fear quite literally using the bones of the colonized as a means of subjugating a problem they manufactured. The source of the war and its adherents religiously follow the written doctrine of show, remember how the invader's association guy simple said "it was prophesized", along with a radicalized populace, especially with the dogma of the rangers themselves believing themselves to always succeed.
What the writer and the editors fail on is an over reliance on spectacle, and having a coherent planned direction. You have this very interesting world, which then gets interrupted by car explosions or galaxy fights every 2 or 3 chapters. The fights appropriately are very awkward, gruesome and drawn out (a key component is it's antiwar philosophy not a terrible controversial stance there), yet often are overly drawn out and often in the way of world building sometimes. A solution is very simple however, and that would be to follow the probably miserable lives of the everyday population. This is probably avoided since writing about structural issues is hard.
During the period D was trying to kill Green, a whole lot of people showed up at Green's house. D, Suzukiri, Urabe, Yukino, and Red himself. Green obviously was hiding Sanae from Red, so wanted him to leave ASAP. After that event was over, Green mentions that he had moved out of his house - meaning that Sanae and Momiji would have gone into hiding in the slums at this time, while Green distances himself from them so Red (or worse, Yellow & the Kurokos) wouldn't sniff around.Seems like Sanae has a soft spot for two green rangers. I wonder why current green isn't hanging out with her and her daughter anymore.
The plot is messy as hell but not in a way that its hard to followIve been reading this manga since the first chapter and I have legit not a clue what is happening.

I honestly couldn't care less about D he's just not very interesting to me (unless he gets a little stronger, then at least his fights will be a little more interesting), and I'm half and half on Angel (I really hope she doesn't go full Yandere simp), but I agree with you on Hisui (it's always great seeing best girl).God, I just want to see Hisui, Angel and D again.
I literally do not care about Hibiki and Suzukiri. D's daily life and adventures is what makes this manga interesting.I honestly couldn't care less about D he's just not very interesting to me (unless he gets a little stronger, then at least his fights will be a little more interesting), and I'm half and half on Angel (I really hope she doesn't go full Yandere simp), but I agree with you on Hisui (it's always great seeing best girl).
To be honest though I'm way more interested in what Hibiki and Suzukiri are doing.
Hey, to each their own.I literally do not care about Hibiki and Suzukiri. D's daily life and adventures is what makes this manga interesting.
