"When the Monster Army invaded Earth thirteen years ago, the Divine Dragon Rangers rose up to stop them! With the war raging on, these great heroes are mankind's last hope!

...or are they?

In truth, the invaders were subjugated within a year, forced to continue to crank out a monster a week for the Rangers to crush in front of their adoring fans! But one monster has had enough. Something has to change! He'll rebel against the might of the Dragon Rangers and destroy them all...from the inside!

One of the best 'back of the case' premises this season made easily one of the best produced shows. The intrigue is good and the nefariousness of the 'dark justice' archetype where people feel the right to subjugate another species because they have overwhelming power is loud and clear. Fighter D, the main character, is slightly annoying for all his bluster backed by essentially no strength, plan, or hope of defeating the rangers, but not detrimentally so. The tension slowly rising with the yellow ranger team member definitely knowing what's up until offering to help in the mission was very well done (and interspersed with organic world building) and I'm excited to see what happens next. Give it a shot.
