They totally do! Their pairing really made these past two episodes shine.

This is one of my favorite things about Ninninger that I think gets overlooked a lot. The show does this interesting thing where it eschews traditional spotlight episodes in favor of two-person, interpersonal relationship building episodes. I think this allows for a lot of dynamic character development, especially when you but two characters together that are very different, or that you wouldn't expect to see eye to eye, and force them to learn to value their differences in order to save the day. This is, to my knowledge, a totally new structure for Sentai stories -- or at least, it's new as a long-term structure for a whole season.

It also keeps any one character from hogging the spotlight all the time -- something Ninninger has been doing well, especially in recent months.

Hey, remember when everyone was certain Nagi would never get any character development and would be totally forgotten? Such little faith.
