TOWSITD gave the impression it was settled in the near future, but this one has nothing futuristic in it, the change was a bit confusing, now I wonder if Ryuga's world is a parallel world to Kouga's ? I haven't watch the movie, how was the setting ?


Well, I understand they can't pull a giant naked woman each season.

I always thought it was just the Saejimas who get to fight the naked ladies anyway.

Ryuga got to fight An old man and his cubes of death, and a giant mecha-demon-castle with rocket legs. It's different.

Having just watched episode 23, good to know I totally called it about Garo going giant and fighting Ladan while Decade chews yet more scenery and continues to be great.

If anything, I'd have preferred the ground fight afterwards between Ryuga and Zinga to be a bit longer. A thing I liked about the Kouga seasons was that the finales would often be the climactic moments of Garo finishing off the "big bad" of the show, then a more personal fight before we get an epilogue. Makai Senki did it perfectly - Kouga and everyone else bring down Edea and go home. Then Sigma shows up, near death and decides he is going to ruin Kouga's life in the final moments of his own. A proper dirty punchup here before Ryuga stabs Zinga would have been great.

I had mixed feelings about Rian not staying dead. I guess Garo's always had a thread of hope running through it over the years and seeing Rian's dream coming true - Kantai up and running again with Daigo training the next generation of Makai Knights - was wonderful.

I'm guessing the lext live-action stuff with be something with Raiga, and that Biku movie, but I'd welcome Ryuga and Rian back again with open arms. If Aguri and Takeru show up at some point and we have something close to a TOWSITD reunion (The feels when images of Burai, Enhou and Hakana flash by as Rian is about to sacrifice herself...), I'm down for that.

A great finale to a consistently great season (The only one this year).
