Komiya doing Juru's backflip was impressive and reminded me of Motoki Seiya. I definitely wasn't expecting that!

for being such great role-models.
Again, I could sit here all day talking about all the hypothetical stuff I would've liked to see with Garza, but I'd have to be insane to act like Arakawa doesn't get his own show when that's the note he chose to end it on.
Totally! Episode Zero started with Mabusheena's sadness over losing Crystalia and her father and so much of Takamichi's arc and the Granterstone arc revolves around her facing her impending death with courage and telling Takamichi that a true hero should focusing on saving everybody, not just her. That was really emotional! She's just as much a hero as the team. It's only right that the finale focuses so much on her and the strength she found in the Kiramagers and from herself as well. I was also hoping to see a restored Crystalia in the ending so I was not disappointed here at all!
I thought it was pretty cool how each of the 4 Granterstones played an important role in the defeat of Emperor Yodon. The tragic backstory of Garza being brainwashed all along and a creative just like Juru seemed like it was Yokote writing again so kudos to Arakawa for that. Not sure how his head turned from blue diamond to onyx/obsidian though, is that some kind of mutation that can happen with Crystalian people as they grow up? Most of the Crystalians on Atamald were also blue diamond types but Oradin doesn't seem to bring it up.
I would've liked more than 45 episodes but hey, VS Ryusoulger exists now so that's an awesome consolation. My favorite episode is still 37 cause I think Sena just has a lot of the best episodes and that one was the most inspirational and relatable to me.
Looking forward to Zenkaiger. Komura hasn't let me down yet!
