Episode 7

This episode was really stupid, but in like the best way.

Turns out the boss of the national bank wants everything back online despite Spider-Manster threatening and making good on killing them if they interfere, but it's ultimately a moot point because Freddy(the fraudster from last episode) can't combat the advanced viruses that the monster put in the system. As such, he needs Bima to cut off one of Spider-Manster's' fingers so he can analyze it, because after all, the monster used his finger the infect the system in the first place. Also gold makes Rasputin stronger somehow. Don't question it.

It's the type of nonsense that I just absolutely love in the Tokusatsu medium, especially when some genuine heart comes out of it via the characters involved.

While simple, Freddy's' arc of wanting to do right by his dad, which is what ends up working towards redemption and becoming a hero was something I actually found myself enjoying. Yeah, him and his dad could've made off with the bank's' money and no one would've been any wiser, but his father's' strong integrity meant not taking from others, even if they themselves would have to suffer for it. And it's the dad's' belief in his son that ultimately saves the economy.

Integrity seemed to be the sort of central theme of this two-parter, actually. Especially given how this episode starts off with Ray telling Mikhail that, a trap by Rasputin or not, he's not about to do anything that he feels would risk Randy's' life. I guess there was no risk in chopping off the spider's' hand...? Whatever, it's the sentiment that counts.

So, yeah, the plot is kinda dumb in terms of pure logistics, but the emotional core of it all left me overall very satisfied with how it played out. And the super over the top action scenes certainly didn't hurt anything either.
