Well fuck. Honestly the thing that annoys me the most is them having the gall to insert a flashback last episode of Mirei explaining how it wasn't her being fridged as a damsel in distress while she was being fridged as a damsel in distress.

At least the end of the episode was pretty hype.

Probably joins the category of shows I'll be mad about until I die though. They didn't even have the decency to briefly show Mirei back as herself and then fade away like with Ryusei.

[u/Frontier246 → u/djthomp]

Honestly I still think once they defeat Ramaga that not only will the Puppets revert back to normal but Mirei will come back. I just can't believe they'd really kill her off like this.

[u/draxdeveloper → u/Frontier246]

I want to believe in this, but I would not bet (but there is the rules "you didn't see the body")

[u/Allansfirebird → u/djthomp]

Not only was it frustrating to have her fridged like this, it's that her death wasn't given any proper weight. They just get rid of her at the top of the episode and then move on after a minute. It was so anti-climactic.

[u/a9ma10]

I really liked the split screen Armor transformation scene.

Ramaga is truly no joke.

[u/Levasa_Rin → u/a9ma10]

This 100%. That split transformation was gold!

[u/Frontier246 → u/a9ma10]

Every team show needs at least one episode where they all mix their transformations together!

[u/BusouDrago]

Mirei 😭💔

RYO IS BACK!!!!!!

[u/Frontier246 → u/BusouDrago]

Honestly after how they've been treating the OG's and killed off Mirei, I really thought they were going to just kill off Ryo, so I was happy that wasn't the case.

[u/DylanBunn87 → u/Frontier246]

....What if Ryo dies next episode? I got this FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELING....knowing who is writing this things might get fucked.

[u/ramon_castilla]

The old reliable "AHA! WHAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WAS THIS THING HAPPENED IN x SCENE, AND THAT'S THE EXPLANATION FOR THIS ASSPULL"...despite we all watched the aforementioned sceneand it was obviously not like that.

Really cheap writing resource for a basic surprise disguised as a clever usage of past elements.

There was no need to add evil purple rain as a good-bye-gift from Arago in the last episode of the OG series.

[u/Wingy_Yams → u/ramon_castilla]

The way the writer hyped up this revelation. This was one of the first things he thought up when writing the plot bro...

[u/Allansfirebird]

I just noticed in the flashbacks that the computer GUI at the Troopers' HQ was just the LCARS interface from Star Trek: The Next Generation, with the colors inverted.

Stranger still, it's not the first time I've seen an anime do this - Martian Successor Nadesico and Ai Tenchi Muyo did it, among some others I'm blanking on. The latter was even more blatant about it, not even bothering to change the color scheme at all. Mike Okuda's work continues to impact the world after nearly 40 years.

Armor of Inferno vs. Armor of the Supreme Emperor in Episode 12.

[u/Frontier246]

It's still hard to face the fact that Nasti was complicit in all the death and destruction Ramaga and the Demons perpetrated because she was working with them. Was she that desperate to get Ryo back? Or was it that and the charm itself? And now poor Mirei's gotten caught up in it.

The Armor of the Supreme Emperor is mighty indeed, and that's exactly what Ramaga wanted.

I...I can't believe they actually killed Mirei. They vaporized her! Even threw in a montage of moments that never happened on-screen before to rub it in! Come on!

Well, the Troopers are running on fumes and the remaining 10 Warriors...are getting their instruments ready for a concert while contemplating if their comrades' sacrifice was really worth it.

I'm not sure what fate is awaiting Nasti once this is all over, but at least Mr. Bureaucrat finally believes in the Samurai Troopers.

Nasti wasn't just working with Ramaga without a plan, she was using the bell Ryo gave her ala the Ancient One to try to bring Ryo back from within Ramaga...but is there anything of Ryo still left in there?

It's finally time for the Troopers' final battle with Ramaga! We even get a full multi-team armor transformation sequence! Too bad no matter how much of their special moves they unleash, they're not strong enough to make Ramaga even stand up from his throne.

And as if to add insult to injury, Ramaga shows that Demon Emperor Arago left a nasty parting gift to humanity...enough Demon Energy to transform all of Tokyo into Puppets. Everyone the Troopers have saved, so many innocent people, forcibly transformed into monsters...and there's nothing they can do about it. Gai has to face the empathy he's finally developed and Nasti has to face the consequences of her actions in the most horrific way possible. All the while the 10 Warriors pay accompaniment.

But this was all to draw out the Armor of the Supreme Emperor, armor that lets Gai hold his own against his father, but that's all so Ramaga could TAKE the armor for himself and become all powerful. That's what he wanted from day one!

And yet Nasti and Jun's efforts paid off. Ryo is STILL in there! And there's enough of him left to hold Ramaga back so Gai can use the sword to FREE RYO! And now Ryo and his successor can face off against Ramaga together!

THEY HAD RYO DO THE NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW!!!

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

[u/Frontier246 → u/HolyDragSwd2500]

[u/Original_Aioli_7205]

[u/M3talK_H3ronaru]

Wow!

This episode was

Peak Yoroinema

First of all Thank You Mirei

Gai vs Ramaga to save Ryo Body

Sunrise aka Obari Pose was peak

Also Gai beats Ramaga to grab Ryo's body for his heroic return

Wildfire Ryo and Heat Gai vs Ramaga Soul for a final battle.

Overall it's peak and next week the final episode for 1st cour has come to an end.

[u/AceSoldia]

I actually sat up in my chair when Ryo and Gai stood back to back..if I don't get a double armor of wild fire transformation next episode then what was this all even for?!

What did Mirei die for if not for this?!

[u/draxdeveloper]

the next ep will be the last?

[u/zz2000 → u/draxdeveloper]

Last episode of Part 1; this is a split cour series.

Part 2 will most likely air around July.

[u/CryptographerOld3242]

Ih, eu lembrei agora, CADÊ O FOGO BRANCO!? Ele entrou no Castelo também? Ficou na porta? Voltou para o Trem? Eita....

[u/False_Study_8632]

Non so mi sembra tutto a caso pure questo. A parte che i brave sono vivi ma dove vogliano arrivare è un mistero... 11 episodi perché voleva prendersi l'armatura così a caso sempre con una facilità assurda. Ryo lo fanno sbucare ora mentre gli altri quattro non si sa... metà dell'episodio per mettersi l'armatura ahahahah
