History YMMV / ReleaseTheSpyce

* EvilIsSexy: Kurara Tendo, a.k.a. The Sparrow Woman, has a beautiful design due to her sultry black and red kimono dress, cute face and blonde hair. However, she is Tsukikage members' greatest foe as she is one of the higher-ups of an organization known as Moryo that operates on Sorasaki City, a BadBoss towards her subordinates--she does not hesitate to punish them when they fail her-- and tries to brainwash people on a global scale so that she can rule them easily.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** People were referencing the "The spice must flow!" meme from ''Literature/{{Dune}}'' as soon as the series was announced. Then, when the first episode premiered, it turned out that the titular spice granted superhuman physical abilities.
** Fuu being a GreenEyedMonster becomes even funnier if you know that her [[Creator/AkaneFujita voice actress]] previously voiced [[Anime/SevenMortalSins the Demon Lord of Envy]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Ultimately, the series is an utterly unremarkable, middle-of-the-road ''Franchise/SuperSentai''-grade action series about a band of heroes fighting a NebulousEvilOrganization, and all its more unique worldbuilding elements (like the titular spice) are just for flavor and have no real bearing on the plot at all.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Kurara Tendō]], aka Sparrow Woman, is a high-ranking member of the Moryo organization and the Tsukikage's most personal foe. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Introduced]] tortuously [[BadBoss experimenting on her own subordinates]] with a pain-inducing drug, Tendō is revealed to have masterminded a drug-smuggling ring and a brothel that kidnaps and forces women to serve as prostitutes. As she aims to take down Tsukikage, Tendō ruthlessly mutates and uses her followers as suicide bombers, killing conspirators who object to her callous plans or fail her. Brainwashing the population of a city district, Tendō aims for it to fall into anarchy as her drugs make the people insanely violent. In the past, it is revealed that Tendō had traumatized one of the Tsukikage members, Yuki Hanzomon, by killing her mentor and scarring her eye. While trying to escape capture from the Tsukikage, Tendō again torments Yuki by cutting her, forcing Yuki's pupil to watch. Planning to take her brainwashing program to a global scale with "Project Gekkako", Tendō intends to reduce the entire world to a mess of violent, unstable people, just for her own evil experiments.
