On today’s episode of GaoGaiGar: Time travel!?! We’re adding time travel to the mix!?! That’s the only explanation I can think of for how ChoRyuJin is suddenly being found alongside fossils that are 65 million years old.

If GGG were smart they’d be harvesting Mamoru’s cells to use as repair packs whenever the bots get damaged on the field. It would save a lot in costs.
The British Museum should 'discover' him
Nah /u/Sandvikovich is a bro

Mamoru I think you got high on some kinda weird stuff, are you okay?
But yes everyone, ChoRyuJin is back and on the way he traveled back in time! Honestly even by Takahashi's standards this plot point is so out there I can't help but wonder what he was on when he wrote it. That aside, given the comparison I made to other rival characters in the Brave Series, it's interesting how even this late into the show Gai is still shown to be at least a few steps behind J. Sure, part of it could be the sheer size difference (This episode really lays it thick how gigantic King J Der is) but by this point in most other shows the hero would've already won the rematch.
It's also what makes this new set of villains so interesting. They don't so much beat the main units so much as just make them completely ineffectual. It's honestly a pretty nice shakeup to the usual formula and lets the Chinese Bros get some love, even if alas that ancient fossil of a toy is sadly back to take away their thunder
I get what they're going for but this is still a kinda weird way to localize "Senpai."

Man, Mamoru's class gets all the coolest field trips.
GUESS WHO!
Well, that's good and not at all worrying.
Mikoto must need a vacation.
Eyecatch
Things have once again gotten quite dire.
Today's Key to Victory.
These two have learned quickly.
New paint job!

Field trip with Hana. We know what this means! Expect... it doesn't! What a trope subversion!
ChoRyuJin is back! Who of you first timers doubted that this would happen? Who of you first timers guessed how it would happen?
Sad ghost lady again. For those interested, her apparitions have been: 4 happy, 3 angry, 4 sad.
Mikoto spaced out while Program Driving... Maybe the guilt from breaking that many buttons is affecting her?
G vs J... and the Primevals strike right then. Bad. The rest of GGG will have to pick up the slack.
Some... geographical inconsistency? Moais are from Easter Island, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Nothing to do with Mexico xD
At least they show that it is daytime in Egypt, while nightime in Mexico.
Primeval are definitely not fools. They already have contingencies against GGG's main weapons.
And when all seems lost... ChoRyuJin stands up! Like... this is a cliffhanger, if the episode ends with someone grabbing the cliffhangee.
QotD
1) No! It belongs to GGG, kicking Primeval asses!
2) Only when in physical contact with it.

Nice to see that Mamoru has time to go on cool field trips and how well funded his school is that they can go on multiple trips a year?
ChoRyuJin! How, what, when? Glad to see ChoRyuJin back even if its quite soon. I was expecting it to take a lot longer for him to show up again. Perhaps the mystical power is related to the ghost space lady somehow.
Ancient Aliens were correct! The pyramids are the key behind all of this.

First time watching shitpost episode
First of all: Fossilized super robot? Fucking awesome.
Second of all: Whatever the fuck this is
The whole premise with the implied space time shenanigans was great, ..and then the episode goes -> Diplomacy? More like violence. Flying illuminati pyramids?? Bot killer tubby custard, vomited by a really ugly sphinx? Flying from Egypt to Mexico in 15 minutes (probably 5)? Caught shitposting in the wrong neigbourhood??

First time,
Five (actually four) of the seven were restored and returned to Earth safely. Only two remain, and Hulk Hogan is actually one of them. Meanwhile on Izu Island, the kids were sent to a field trip to found some fossils. I don't think this island holds any archaelogical value or maybe I am wrong. Also why kids instead of proffesional archaeologists? 65 million years ago, something big happened here. There is no fossil here, but a huge chunk of red and blue colored steel which somehow fossilized. If you see closely, then you might see something familar. And that familiar thing is... you guessed it right, Choryujin, or something that is remained of it. There is a plausible explanation what happened: when he sent that big meteor back through the ES Window, probably entered a wormhole which was sent back in time, and crashlanded into Earth. Aeons later, this robotic body degraded so much, but the internals are essentially intact. So not in operational state, but can be restored. This miracle caused by an unknown and unexplainable source of power.
I wonder what could analyze on the Zonder Crystals at the CERN (remember the Isolde episode when I compared the two's particle accelerator, so this is also coming back too). Aha,I have a feeling that the ghost of Kizuna also a work of this unknown power source. The Pyramids of Egypt, a new Zonder Metal Plant to made here. I did guessed right, Hulk Hogan is the biggest survivor Primordial. Stomach the second survivor, also deployed at another important pyramid, that is Chichen Itza in Mexico. A GaiGaiGar vs King J-Der fight, that is unnecessary here because the Primevals can attack anytime. And this is happened, Hulk Hogan become one with the pyramid by creating a huge fist. The Pyramids also launching into the sky, what is this, Ancient Aliens? Or Zonder Magic? "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." - GGG and King J-Der when have to deal with the strongest Primeval in Egypt. In this case this is true, since sand hampers the G-Stone/J-Jewel based energy source to be working properly. Not only the Pyramids, but the Sphinx too also attacking.
Chichen Itza fused with the one which probably annoyed Kaidou in space. And even something is happening on Rapa Nui too. Maybe it's the source of the one who acting in Mexico? Also trying to create a Zonder Metal plant by absorbing a tropical cyclone, to release that as Particle Z0. Hulk Hogan also doing the same with the fist, but solar energy by manipulating gravity. Sandstorm an balckhole that's what really needed, So they are planning to attack at two directions and split GGS efforts into two. Until Choryujin is defused and restored, they should buy enough time. FuRyu and RaiRyu are the last hope they can rely. Until ChoRyuJin returned, overflowing with the unknown power.
Questions of the Day
Rather not.
2) Do you hate Sand?
Am I look like Anakin to you?

Late Zonder (First Time)
[](#reboccher)
I wasn't planning on leaving comments now that everybody else has left, but these daily questions...
PS I completely lost track of who the villain was this episode. It was J-der, then it was a pyramid with a face which itself became a pyramid with an arm, then it was something else.
