That's Prince Baka for you but this show is quite interesting itself for not expecting what will happen next with the Prince being completely unpredictable. This episode actually gave a good laugh, but would be good to get some story back in

That is certainly one way to look at it! If we go by how Prince's practical jokes are having an effect on other... he is actually doing great. Supposedly the fiercest species in the known galaxy that doesn't cooperate with anyone agreed to play a role in Prince's previous prank. In this episode, the assassin immediately drops her guard down once she knows the alien is none other than the prince of Dogura. And look at the kids in this episode... they are so enamored in their daily routines and pursuance of life (one of em' has already started dating... ) that they were kids only in appearance. Well, until Prince abducted them and turned them into power rangers. No wonder the last scene in this episode was showing one of the kid talking to himself, having fun coming up with extravagant revenge plan against the prince.
The show is about having fun. Everyone thus far who has been the "victim" of prince also seem to be having fun one way or the other. The point of this show seems to be that having fun is open to all age. I don't think it was supposed have a negative connotation such as Prince's way of fun bringing other people misery. I think the spin here is a positive one as far as having fun "at the expense of everybody else" goes.

Oh man. Episode four got me so good despite my totally expecting it. That said, the story in episode four, along with the artstyle, the presentation and everything else, deserved a sincere bow on its own. The only reason the prince can keep trolling us is because the other stuff that goes on the side is really really awesome.
As for episode five, rofl. Oh man, am I glad that my superhero fantasies didn't come true when I was a kid |

We need more troll characters like Prince Baka in other animes.
Because ironically, he's the only character in this season who doesn't piss me off. Characters like Prince Baka needs to be in Infinite Stratos and Dragon Crisis. It'll make up for all the dense harem and boring arcs

Craft was having a hell of a time when he was attempting to restore Prince's memory by inflicting same type of trauma. Craft is just being tsundere and refusing to give Prince any credit for the entertainment value he provides.

This episode reminded me of Gintama's RPG arcs, Predator 2010 and also a bit of the Saw movies. I'm glad I watched this after Kore wa Zombie Desuka. This is just so screwed up I love it more and more!
Sensei is hot.
