That's because Kizaki only got like a 2 minute scene this episode.

A pretty good episode with a decent resolultion. But I still think it's silly that they didn't let Beast eat him. All Haruto had to do was defeat Phoenix and let Beast stand on the side lines and consume him afterward. A missed opportunity to solve Nitous sub-plot but oh well.
The episode itself was pretty nice even if it did newly reinforce the whole Phantoms have no redemption thing. And I'll admit that throwing Phoenix into the sun was a good was to keep him in check until they need to bring him back for a movie or later in the series. All Dragon looked pretty silly and the flight battle wasn't nearly as cool as the Hurricane Dragon one. Kizaki being in this episode (and the last) seemed pointless. More or less it just reminded us that hey he's a character behind a desk!

Kizaki needed to appear so that, for the Wizard movie, when Rinko and Shunpei need to find people to activate rings for him, he can be one of them.

Decent episode. Some good amount of resolution here and there. Nice to see Haruto actually get phased by something. He's not always the stone cold hero. That seemed like a very clever way to take out phoenix for now. He could make a great, supercharged villain for a movie or something if they wanted to go that direction. His arc has been some of the best stuff this series has had so far. Only thing that really disappointed me was the final fight, but that's mostly because I think All Dragon is terrible. The Dragon wizard designs on their own look great and have interesting fighting styles. All Dragon is just an ugly, boring, not even all that flashy finisher. I actually like the DragoTimer, though. That works well. Having four wizards fight at once is going to lead to some great moments, I can tell. The sound effects are great too.
Going forward, Gremlin certainly seems like he'll be an interesting villain. The show desperately needs it as Medusa's too boring and Wiseman isn't ready to come into the spotlight. His mischievous nature should lead to some interesting plots. If they handle him like they did phoenix, it'll certainly keep the show going nicely into the final couple arcs. Something about Kizaki really bugged me here as well. Not sure what it is. Could be typical toku 'cool guy' syndrome, but I feel like he's hiding something. Like he's playing a bigger role than he lets on. Could he be the White Wizard, perhaps? I don't think so right now, not enough evidence, but it seems almost as likely as any other identity for him. |

I really liked this episode. Although looking back I think I liked every episode at the time. I just got a bit frustrated with the slow pace of the plot early on. But ever since they've been letting Haruto emote and let his groupies out for air on their own, I've really been enjoying it a lot more.
The final battle this episode was appropriately epic. I liked the solution to the Phoenix problem, but it was fairly cold-blooded a move by Haruto. I think he's finally starting to take a personal stake in this battle. I am getting a bit worried that the way they're dragging out the bigger plot that we're going to get some big info dumps at some point towards the end. They're really keeping us in the dark with this one. |

Anybody notice the Chameleon looks a bit like RinChameleon from Gekiranger?
