[DreamSword]

Episode 22

Gackt is every bit as confusing as he is cool.

Like, I get the general idea(I think). As a former Satria, he appears to impart wisdom onto Ray to help make Ray a better Satria.

The problem is that he doesn't exactly tell Ray anything that Ray doesn't already know(which funnily enough is noted by Ray himself). So was the whole idea for Gackt to just show up and bully Bima?

The coolness factor does help with me turning my brain off during the whole thing atleast. And there's also the nice character stuff with Randy still being the bravest of the family and Rena making friends with the runaway girl from Vudo. So it's not as if this two-parter was entirely shallow.

That said, one thing I was hoping this episode would elaborate on, given Gackt's' status as the former Bima, was answering the question of where exactly the Bima suit even comes from, given that we've seen many times before that the Power Stones can be used without any sort of armor manifestation thanks to the monsters.

Does it ultimately matter? No, but it was still a plot detail that I felt could've been cool, and I even thought it might happen given Gackt's' whole speech on how Bima is the summation of many things. But alas, it was not to be.

If you're not a fan of Gackt, I really can't see you getting much out of these two episodes. But if you are, then there's alot of fun to be had with this very unexpected cameo, and sometimes that's all that's needed.

(We also got to see the Grand Gator and I swear they used the Godzilla Roar for it but that's for another time I guess.)
