Recap / Uchu Sentai Kyuranger Ep 2

Go To

In search of the remaining four Kyurangers, Lucky arrives at planet Jigama and meets a pair of thieves named Balance and Naga, and agrees to help them steal a gem from Jark Matter. Balance seemingly betrays Lucky and Naga, but has a change of heart and saves the two, with him and Naga becoming Tenbin Gold and Hebitsukai Silver.


Tropes

  • Ancient Egypt: Being from the planet Tutan, Gamettsui partially has this as a theme.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Being only 4, the team has no chance against a Karo, Hammie feels somewhat desperate when she realizes that they have to beat 88 like him.
  • Evil Overlord: Gamettsui is ruler of the planet Zigama, and quite the morally bankrupt piece of work.
  • Fat Bastard: Gamettsui is obscenely fat as far as monsters go, and is a real piece of crap morally speaking.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Stinger appears at the ending of the episode.
  • Expy: Gamettsui, a fat bastard who wants money for selling the heroes? Sounds like Jabba the Hutt.
  • Greed: Literally Gamettsui's entire reason for being.
  • Heel–Face Turn: At first, Balance was only planning on turning in Lucky and Naga for a chance to rob Jark Matter. He changed his mind when he saw that they were in danger and joined the Kyurangers.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: The team realizes that trying to beat a Karo at this point is practically suicide, so they decide to run away.
  • Match Cut: After agreeing to help Balance and Naga steal a gem from Jark Matter's spaceship, Lucky says "Let's test out luck!". The scene cuts to Hammie saying the same thing, Mocking him.
  • Meaningful Name: Gamettsui is literally named after the concept of Greed, fitting since he is essentially just a tax-happy miser.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Sure, Gamettsui's the first Monster of the Week, but he was still in control of an entire planet.
  • Second Episode Introduction: Balance and Naga make a full debut and join the Kyurangers in this episode (Though they had an Early-Bird Cameo in the previous one).
  • Tail Slap: Gamettsui uses his to do this. Also as a whip.
