Or maybe Azald is the original human who accidentally fell through the portal!
*Cue someone pointing to a flashback that makes it impossible to be Azald*

Anyway, solid episode. I was really kind of hoping that Kubar would turn. I didn't anticipate him to become a full on hero (Since it's a little late in the show to have a redemption arc), but I was hoping he'd at least try to take the Zyuohger's words to heart rather than just have a full on breakdown in a desperate attempt to win Genis over.
Oh well.

I liked Misao finally pushing himself to better himself by having the 3 Zyumans point out why he hasn't changed. It was pretty nice. I always love the message of overcoming your fears.

Oh, cool, Yamato's dad finally showed up, and we finally get to learn why he and Yamato had such a falling out (Or, rather, a pretty easy assumption as to why). I do wish they started this little story line earlier, though. Didn't we get the "Yamato hates his dad" thing way back in the mid-teens? A little late to actually start this damn story, but fine

Mecha role call was baller. Was half expecting Cube Condor to show up, but oh well.
