Hi monritche here, the new typesetter (still training under zeldAis-dono) for Abaranger. Hmmm this would be my first episode debut, and hoping to get better as we continue with this Dino-themed sentai series. I know many of you are patiently waiting for this release and we have something in store for you in this release as consolation (Internet cookies for those who noticed them).
Just a recap of the previous episode, the Purple Dinosaur just hatched and the Black Ranger (can you still remember his name?) used so much of his DinoGuts to protect the Bakuryuu. We'll see how this scenario plays in this episode as they tackle this monster.

Errr not really, but you'll see the connection. Anyway, this episode is very interesting as it also touches on the current issue in Japan at the time of airing of Abaranger (related study). The sensitive issue of a person attempting to kill himself in a kid show is unusual for me, well hey it's Sentai right. But what got me wondering about is the demographics of suicidal rate in Japan at that time. I mean, were there a lot of Sentai Otaku who committed suicide in order for TOEI to put this plot in this episode? Remembering Densha Otoko...
This related research will help us know the demographics about Japan's suicidal rate during 2003.
