Hey everyone, guess what time it is!
Well, honestly, it's probably way past time for me to be realizing this, but Woz became a space wizard at some point? Like, that's actually super awesome, and until seeing all the fancy tricks he pulled in this episode, I think my disappointment over Ginga Finally being introduced the way it was prevented me from noticing that. Now if I could only "finally" figure out what's going on with that name, I might even start liking it. Of course, I never really decided if I like regular Woz's design to begin with...
Okay, I'm getting way off track here. But not that much, because this episode more than lives up to its promise of Woz-related antics. I especially appreciate how White Woz's titular operation hinged on using Zi-O Trinity in a clever way. It reminded me of how the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat in Ex-Aid kept finding ways to pop back into that show long after its time, and when I'm saying the writing here is as slick as Ex-Aid, you know you're in for a good time.
The episode keeps jumping from interesting beat to interesting beat, and I think the only one that doesn't land is Hora's non-gambit to take out Swartz. I mean, come on, was that seriously the best you think of? But aside from that, it's pretty much straight gold, and like FreshToku said, the way the scene with Geiz in the Another World plays out is awesome. It's exactly the kind of surprisingly deep pathos I
so
did not expect from this show early in its run. On top of subverting expectations, it delivers a lot of the emotion through the implications of what's being shown without ever totally spelling it out, which just makes it hard that much harder.
On a more minor note, I find it funny how Sougo went from taking a full minute to transform into Grand Zi-O to just doing it between shots these last few episodes. Oh, and they totally ripped off the cliffhanger here from episode 47 of Build. The main hero dramatically shouting the bad guy's name after the death(?) of his blue buddy? Seriously, the way the very end plays out, with all the audio fading out except Sougo's voice, is so similar I'm convinced it was a deliberate homage.
