(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 33


This episode was both intense and chaotic in a way. Maybe it was chaotic for me because of what Hoeru had to go through as a trial that the sword gave. I wonder why the sword chose him, though. Tega Sword did say that it chose Hoeru. I don't think it has anything to do with his lack of wishes or dreams, though. He has them, he just didn't know it or maybe haven't fully dived into them for him to realize it. But in the end, he made his choice, even if it means his parents forgetting that he and Kuon (or Hisamitsu, as he was previously called) were even their children. A world of chaos where he has to fight alongside the people he met in his lonely journey. It looked like there would still be hope, though.

I'm a fan of powered up swords or just swords that grants powers to their wielders, in general. And this one — the one called RyoTegaSword — was really fascinating for me. But I think this is the first time I've seen a sword that was used as (possibly) the ultimate power up for the team. I could be wrong, though, so free to correct me. I like Gozyu Wolf's new form after getting that sword, by the way.

Now the Calamity seems to be getting stronger. Yup, even to the point where Tega June actually had to deal with the enlarged Bellum. She was pissed, that's for sure. Even I was surprised. I really thought this episode would show Rei's end or something. I was wrong. It could be in the next episode since the last bit did show that Rikuo was — more than ever — resolved in stopping Rei. The preview somehow hints on that. But I don't know. Let's see what happens next week, then. 😊✌️

Honestly, it really feels good for me that I'm finally able to catch up with watching and at the same time, writing comments in each episodes of this series.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 32


I know that this is going to be a chaotic episode, with the issue involving Rikuo, Rei and Sumino were already reaching the breaking point (or maybe not yet). Yes, the desperation in all three of them were also reaching the breaking point, albeit each were for different reasons. Two were obviously for the desire to save the people close to them. I don't know about Rei, though. I think he already lost his mind when his career as a surgeon was over after saving Rikuo. And maybe a soldier serving the Calamity called Cladis took advantage of that. I didn't pay attention at first when they were first mentioning the word "calamity" in the previous episodes. But it looks like that word has an even bigger role to play when it comes to the Universe War.

And then there's the lovers' spat between Mr. Shining Knife and Mrs. Sweet Cake which is both fascinating and hearbreaking near the end. I guess even Tega June was aware of the power that the Calamity could bring. But who would've thought that Mr. Shining Knife was a part of that? And now, it looked like Mrs. Sweet Cake is dead. But honestly, I'd like to think of it as her being in coma. Yes, she is a No-One. But she was still a living being (I think). So yeah, maybe I just like to think positively about their situation. Especially when I saw and heard the despair in Mr. Shining Knife's voice when he realized that he had hurt his wife like that.

It looks like the next episode will be as intense as this one, especially now that a new weapon is about to emerge. Did that play a role in the previous war, though? Anyway, it did look cool. 😊✌️
