Yes -- it was fascinating how it started out looking very frivolous and low-stakes with battles between teenage dance troupes, but then turned out to have something much bigger and darker and more world-shaking behind it, and then just kept escalating and peeling back more layers that raised the stakes even higher until they were at a literally cosmic level. It's a template that's been followed by a number of seasons since, including Build and Zero-One, and it was an influence on my tokusatsu-inspired Tangent Knights audio drama trilogy, since that format of a story escalating in its scope and stakes through successive phases/chapters of the saga works well for a trilogy.
