The story is good, setting up interesting situations, and even conflicts of interests for our protagonist, Fighter D…
He’s supposed to be destroying the Dragon Keepers, but Green Keeper/Chidori seems like a really cool guy, even having a nice family despite his gothy emo looks, and showing mercy to D despite knowing that he’s a kaijin infiltrator.
Even if D does destroy the Keepers, there are lower ranked rangers waiting in queue to pick up the mantle.
And the kaijin bosses don’t seem to be very sympathetic, so what’s D fighting for?
The Snake Boss arc was fun.
Going back to episode 2, apparently the Boss monsters are themed after the Eto Animals, which are pretty much the same thing as the Chinese Zodiac animals: www.nippon.com/en/features/jg00110/
Of which the Dragon Keepers had defeated 7 of them as of episode 2:
Team Green just defeated Magatia/Snake 巳
The 4 remaining bosses are:
- Peltrola/Rooster 酉
- Hwalipon/Horse 午
- ?/Monkey 申
- ?/Rabbit 卯

The yellow squad is soo shady, but I think they are allies? Idk. The green one seems very chill though.
I think D’s priorities shifted from killing Dragon Keepers to killing some Dragon Keepers and bosses.
Btw Red Keeper is dead right? He seemed like a root of all the evil so him dying so easily is soo off-putting.
Also Usukubo brainwashed again?

It would actually explain a lot if the Red Keeper turns out to be one of the boss monsters. Hiding in plain sight, so to speak. Someone wearing the red uniform was in the scene towards the end of the episode with the reluctant Blue Keeper, if I recall correctly, and I don’t think it was Clown Makeup Guy. So either the Red Keeper survived the stabbing, or he’s being impersonated.
The Yellow Keeper comes across as an Evil Mad Scientist archetype who quite possibly isn’t on anybody’s side.

The question then would be: why no one realized?
Green squad is specializing in finding monsters so at least they should realize.

The original Red was enough of a greedy asshole that his behaviour is too much in character to warrant further examination, maybe? Or Green Keeper suspects, but also knows that he needs ironclad proof in order to accuse another Dragon Keeper, and doesn’t have it yet? Or he’s saving it until after they’ve dealt with the other boss monsters? Or some other hidden reason, possibly having to do with why the Keepers’ fancy ultra weapons appear to be organic?
Part of the reason D was fingered so quickly was that he really isn’t that good an actor and doesn’t take precautions when he thinks he’s alone or with people who already know. The boss monster may be better at faking humanity.
