Wow, okay, so this episode was all sorts of awesome.


- I like how they have Dan working alongside the heroes, but make it abundantly clear that he's still an evil prick. I mean, yeah, he kinda has a point. No real way to beat Cronus without Hyper Muteki, but he straight up vanished on Hiiro, Taiga and Kiriya. He's like when you're playing an online shooter game, realizes that his team is getting their asses handed to them and just up and leaves. Oh Dan, never change.

- Seeing Pallad work alongside Emu long-term is so bizarre to me but man is it awesome. They were perfectly in sync during that fight with Cronus, and I love the fact that they found a way to bring back the Perfect Puzzle and Knockout Fighter suits.

- Now I think I understand what's going on with the movie. "True Ending" is literally the true ending. It's how things would play out if Masamune didn't interfere with the timeline. He'd likely be thrown back in prison, but now Fuuma has Hiiro, Taiga and Kiriya's drivers. And of course, there's still Gemdeus. Very clever.
