Disagree. As a fluent Japanese speaker, I know the kind of language used on this show, and the speech being used is something many children would be strongly reprimanded for using. This becomes swearing in English, since we have no 'naughty inflections' in our language.

Seems perfectly fine to me, especially since such sentai shows are often aimed at children who are hitting puberty and are absolutely going to be exposed to that sort of language IRL as well.

You sound like you don't quite understand the cultural and linguistic context and just think ~kids shows shouldn't use bad words~ which, I guess you need to go complain to TV Tokyo and such in that case.

I'm guessing OP is American and grew up with the weird double standard of "violence is totally okay but don't say a naughty word that's terrible!" That is so prevalent in US media.

I didn't realize Japanese kids were hitting puberty at five years old now

You'd think I'd have heard about such a strange phenomenon

Are you kidding? There most CERTAINLY IS "naughty language" for English kids that isn't swearing. And no, the Japanese original dialogue absolutely ISN'T swearing in the same context that it is in English. It can be translated a number of different ways but it is NOT a direct translation. Sorry, do you actually speak Japanese fluently? At least, you probably haven't done any actual translation work.

Language =/= inflection

We can't say "YOU" and it basically be a curse word.
