MASKED RIDER KUUGA EPISODES 34 - 35
It's a straight-up horror story this time, with a whole lot of police failure and an uncharacteristically enraged Godai at the end. Don't know that I exactly had a
good time
watching it, but I respected what the show was trying to do.
I'm not sure that I'd pay that same respect to the Unidentified Life Form Task Force, though. They are really,
really
bad at this. Out of 91 kids, they saved 1. One kid. Ninety of them,
dead
. On a meta level, it's good that Kuuga and Ichijou were able to stop Snapping Grongi from winning... whatever the Grongi are trying to win, but it's hard not to say they're failing the folks of Japan. Ninety dead teenagers in eight days? No wonder Godai's furious.
Godai's fury is easily the high point of this story. It's completely deserved, as the ridiculously high body count the Grongi have accrued now has a smirking, smug face to just beat into pulp. Snapping Grongi doesn't do a lot, but the maddening chase he sends the heroes on is a great way to build tension, which gets its sort-of catharsis with a brutal Kuuga beatdown and a climactic application of Calamity Titan. It's not a
happy
ending, in that
ninety children are still dead and Godai knows it
, which is maybe the best thing this story has going for it. I don't expect a huge change in the way this show tells its story, but I'd be impressed if the acknowledgement of Team Kuuga's overall poor showing is maybe motivation to create a stronger response to the Grongi than “let them do most of their murder spree but not, like, completely finish it.”
also oh my god the stuff at pole pole could not feel more unnecessary if they tried it is killing me how much i hate these goddamn curry shop scenes and then they add jean because shit just pile on the torment i guess and its just jokes with terrible delivery and no sense of timing and zero bearing on the plot and jean just why any jean in this story what the hell is he even in this story for theres no point to him no point no point no point i mean hes probably number zero it wouldnt shock me but holy shit would it not make anything up until that reveal any better its like the hipster dad stuff from build if it one hundred percent sucked just jean
go away forever jean
