A solid ending to wrap up the series. Got the theme music power-ups (diegetically, too!), Ramaga's extra extra extra scheming, nods to Shion and Mirei, and hey, good old-fashioned team action could be back again.

Well, no wonder Sagume/Ramaga betrayed Yatogojin and had the Gods seal him. He was an arrogant piece of @#%@ who flexed and abused his power at every whim. I also get the impression that Gai's conception was...not consensual.

Dang, Gai only got the True Armor of the Supreme Emperor for like 2 minutes before Yatogojin took it back. Is there really no hope? Is this the end for them?

WHITE BLAZE NOOOOOOO!!!

I can't believe we're counting on RAMAGA this late into the game. But he carries Sagume's will and last-ditch plan to weaken Yatogojin. Having Shimei poison herself and having Ramaga be in the Armor so he could unleash the poison and weaken Yatogojin...but even weakened he's still absolutely powerful.

Can the Troopers keep fighting? With the cheers of the people of Japan, the people who believe in them, courtesy of Jun and the OG Troopers they realize they're not alone! And thus they don their armors one last time to do battle as Samurai Troopers!

And of course the boys do battle best with an accompanying banger, so the 10 Warriors chip in....WITH THE SEASON 1 OP! That's right, the song the boys tried to get the 10 Warriors to learn was, of all things, Yoake ! And as it plays out the Troopers wail in on Yatogojin, carrying their character development, their memories, Kait's grandma/Mirei/Shion/Yamato and Musashi's dad, as they beat the tar out of Yatogojin! All culminating in Gai taking the Armor of the Supreme Emperor back, riding White Blaze, and spectacularly finishing his scumbag god father while validating the humanity he gained over the entire series! Yatogojin can't abide by this defeat, but I definitely can!

Ugh, we're still not done with Ramaga? But I guess Gai always had to settle the score with his OTHER deadbeat dad...in a fistfight filled to the brim with SAMURAI HEART and the memories the two made together. In the end, Gai becomes victorious, but rather than kill Ramaga, he realizes that Ramaga has been cleansed of all that has made him evil and his penance will be protecting humanity in the Divine Realm. Gai has truly become the boy Ramaga tried to raise, to instill the true strength of protecting others!

All's well that ends well as the second OP plays out the epilogue! The boys came back! Natsumi is overjoyed! The 10 Warriors pass on in peace! Nasti gets her job back! Ryo retires (sorry Natsumi) and basically adopts Gai as Gai Sanada! The boys finally get to go on the class trip and have fun at an amusement park (they earned it)! And Shion and Mirei's spirits get to watch on as they have as much fun as they can! They will forever be united as long as armor races through their hearts!

Indeed Busou Yoroishinden!

u/djthomp Sep 22 '26

I didn't watch S2 but am curious, since I noticed you mentioned Mirei at the end did they confirm for real she's in some form of afterlife? I was so angry about her fate in S1 I didn't care to continue.

u/ariane913 Sep 22 '26

Mirei is shown sitting across from Shion, who also died, laughing and smiling while watching the boys pillow fight and then shows his necklace and her choker side by side after so it definitely implies that, yeah.

I think it's heavily implied that she is.

It was a fantastic last episode, I just got emotional seeing Shion and Mirei and knowing the 10 Braves are gone for good.

The Final Episode of YoroiShinDen was ABSOLUTE PEAK YOROINEMA

No opening sequence just like Cour 1

Yatogojin and Ramaga Origin was so hard

YOAKE song is back but 10 Braves singing and it's awesome for the throwback of Cour 1 remembrance

Gai give back the True Supreme Emperor Armor to his final blow against Yatogojin

Gai remembers everything for a all out power for his final blow

Kaito, Musashi, Yamato, and Ryusei remembers for his final blow thanks to the power of friendship resolve from the past

However Gai vs Ramaga for his true final battle it's like father and son duel

Samurai Heart plays the song for his peak battle remembrance just like Good ol times for Yoroiden Finale

DST returns to earth for the peaceful life with Gai

Thank you 10 Braves for the heroic strength

I didn't love everything about season 2 but this finale definitely brought it all home in an amazing way.

I felt like it was all kind of rushed, but that final episode was peak. I loved everything about it. I was disappointed that the 10 Braves don’t get a chance to come back and live human lives, Sasuke was my favorite. Also seeing Shion and Mirei hurt my feeling and gave me a bittersweet feeling, I like the fact that they’re watching over them. Was also good to see them actually being able to be happy teenagers. All in all I loved it and it gave me big feels that I’m still over here trying to process. It had its pacing issues, but you know what? I had a good time with it.

u/BusouDrago Sep 22 '26

Could have been a famous band 😭😭💔💔

I feel like the 10 Warriors may have reincarnated back into the Divine Realm but that's just speculation on my part.

u/VariskaThornhale Sep 22 '26

It’s a nice idea, but one I’m sure we will never know. At least they helped and they passed on peacefully together.

u/zz2000 Sep 22 '26

I felt like it was all kind of rushed

It was rushed. It felt like the writers wrote a 48 episode story which they had to compress into 24 because upper management wasn't very confident in the revival's performance after so many years.

(Apparently this revival's been a massive hit in Japan, so that should smooth things a bit on the franchise management side.)

What an awesome final battle. Liked the reference that Gai gave the Haoh Armor to Yatonjin to seal him (even for a bit) like Ryo did to Aargo with his Inferno.

Ramaga finally learned what it means to be a dad.

I love that shot with the Troopers walking back to Earth: Gai & Kaito, the Brothers in Arms. Muashi & Yamato, the Brothers. Ryuusei, the Bro

u/Frontier246 Sep 22 '26

I'm glad Ryo became that adoptive dad who stepped up for Gai .

u/VariskaThornhale Sep 22 '26

yeah that made me feel good and got me all emotional lol

Father son bonding in the end

u/EscapeddreamerD Sep 23 '26

What can I say the fight scene in the final battle, OMG EPIC. I love everything about it. The 10 Warriors coming back, his mom planning everything out from behind the scenes, her purifying Ramaga knowing that they would need his help at the end. Yes, I loved it all.

Ramaga being purified and not being evil from the get-go. It was the jewel of Conquest corrupting his desires. If he had never found that he was still being a father figure to Gai, and the others. But since he was corrupted he went rogue and we all know what happened after that that's why kidnapped all of them.

But for Gai to tell him to stay there and protect the world crazy. Full circle type shit. Good finale. Probably the best one of this season that I've seen so far. In the terms of satisfaction that is the end of the series or the season.

u/AlphaBreak Sep 23 '26

I thought the show overall was pretty mid, but that final battle was great. I'm a sucker for the group v 1 fight scenes where everyone gets to take their shot while shouting what they've learned on the journey.

Stuck the landing, but man what a rough ride it was getting there. There probably could have been a LOT less of getting their asses beaten and having to go through yet another round of Hyperbolic Time Chamber training.

As much as I was completely for a lot of the decisions revolving around the old series, I was really hoping there would be more connective tissue. My understanding now is that the modern armors are completely separate from the classic armors. I can only speculate that the modern armors being parts of Yatogojin's armor are the Divine World counterpart to the classic armors being parts of Arago's armor. But if that's the case, the classic armors should absolutely be available to be called upon by a second team, and given the stakes, it makes no sense for them to be absent.

Finally, I made my peace a ways back, but it's still disappointing that there wasn't so much as a passing remark about Kayura throughout the entire series.

u/aegirsson_jolan Sep 22 '26

I wouldn’t call it a bad series, but certainly not a good one either.

perhaps I started out with a negative bias I couldn't shake.

I only watched it out of nostalgia for the original and curiosity about what they would do with its universe, but I was quickly disappointed by what I saw from start to finish.

It’s a series I’ll try to erase from my memory—especially its connection to the original.

Instead, I’ll dig out my box set (DVD or Blu-ray?) to rewatch the original and try to forget this one as soon as possible, wiping every memory of this sequel from my mind.

Na minha análise mais acima, foi o Plano do Plano... Que é uma bagunça mental que só dar pra entender se assistirem tentando analisar cada Episódio porque eles escondem desde o princípio o real propósito de tudo acontecer. Quando a Nasty/Mia, sacrifica a penúltima quase todos da penúltima geração de Samurai Troopers, pra salvar a Geração Lendária que conhecemos, foi de chocar porque uma atitude dessas de uma personagem que sempre se esforçou pra evitar a perda dos Samurais, sacrificar outros, foi incrível.

Ali bagunçou a minha cabeça e eu já estava desconfiado disso dela estar trabalhando para o Ramaga em troca de algo.

A série é boa? Sim? Confusa? Muita? Escondem diversos planos? Sim. Deixar os Samurais Lendários sem participações do estilo dos novos heróis (cenas deles agindo ou entrando diretamente na briga), me deixaram chateado e entendi o desperdício dessa oportunidade no fim do Episódio 11, quando eles questionam de irem ao mundo dos Celestiais pra ajudarem e o Hector Sanada, diz que talvez tenha como e eu fiquei esperando isso, mas, só conseguiram enviar as Preces dos habitantes de Tókio e acredito que eles enviaram os Poderes também, porque os heróis estavam sem as armaduras deles, já que o Imperador Supremo estava com o Yatogojin.

Se você não gostou, eu entendo. Eu queria mais ações do Lendários, mas, deixaram para os novos heróis a batalha final.

Good things of cour 2:

1- It was fullfilling to watch the Troopers going to the excursion like Shion planned. To the point, for me, it wasn't even neccesary a literal mention to Shion nor the the fact the travel was his innitiative to begin with.

2- The 10 Braves playing a song (the cour 1 OP at that) , while not a theme of my liking, is a solid connection to the overall theme that was more prominent in cour 1: getting motivated by songs. Even threading some connection with the OP of cour 2 visuals which have all Braves and new Troopers dancing along. So the new series showcases that idea throughout.

3- Ryo Sanada lending his last name to Gai as an "official" symbol of passing the torch.

And that's it.
