It sets itself apart through its emphasis on time manipulation, which should ideally make for some interesting puzzle ideas....

This Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel review contains spoilers. Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel Episode 18 It’s incredibly baffling that one of the more creative and genuinely funny episodes of Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel is also one of the laziest. On the one hand, the use of Sentai footage is excellent. I try not to get too into the weeds of Sentai footage usage in these reviews because it’s incredibly nerdy (even for this site) and honestly Ninja Steel has so many other issues it’s never really worth pointing out....
