......If I had a nickel for every time a Toei superhero team show discarded its traditional leader color for white, had a large focus on comedy, and put the "big battle" in its penultimate episode so the final episode could have a silly way to finish the final boss and a more character-focused epilogue concerning memory loss, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't it a lot, but isn't it weird that it happened twice! And aired alongside each other to boot?!

Anyway! This finale.......Kaito's memories of his friends helping him even the fight against God, the big reunion, the Goshikida family urging Kaito to begin his own journey, it's all too sweet!? This finale hit all the right notes for me, honestly.

I think Zenkaiger has a lovely theme, you know. As you meet new people, as you jump full-power non-stop into new experiences, your world expands! and it's a wonderful feeling! It kinda feels like that theme has come full circle, with parallel-world travel becoming a normality and all the worlds' inhabitants enjoying themselves with each other.

This show was my very first Sentai, and my opinion probably has some tint of bias due to that, but who cares! Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger is a fantastic show, and a show I'll treasure until the end of time.

(I know people were worried about Zenkaiger's ending due to Donbros being a (psuedo?)-sequel and Zenkaiser Black, but I'm glad the fate of the Zenkaigers ended happily, but with some open-endness to it that people can speculate further on.)
