Overall this was a good one-off and we get our evolved Fire Ryukendo/Kong finally introduced, Burning Ryukendo and Burning Kong.

Burning Kong has one of the best finishers! Say it!

Episode 35: I figured Baron Bloody was up to something by taking that broken blade, but damn.

It does kinda raise the question of how he rebuilt Jack Moon off the sword alone. Like, Baron Bloody claims he reanimated Jack Moon's' corpse, but it seems way more likely that Bloody cloned Jack instead.

Episode 36: This was another good episode, though I feel like the messaging was all over the place with this one.

I don't blame you. It was kinda hard to tell what exactly this one was gunning for.

Episode 37: I'm curious if this will ever be revisited or if it'll just be a one-off plot, but who knows given this is Ryukendo we're talking about.

It really is anyone's' guess. We still haven't gotten the full context on Gekiryuken's' amnesia, afterall.

Episode 38: A standard Jamanga encounter turned into a deadly trap by taking advantage of the fact that our heroes usually always purify and refine the keys they take from the demons they defeat. It's a pretty tense episode with Kenji having to escort Professor Mikurya to the closed off SHOT base that's threatening to blow up at any moment. The fact that Kenji can't transform due to the interference so he has to rely on Ryujinoh is pretty neat, and just adds to the tense nature especially when Mechani-Moon shows up.

"Tense" is probably the best word to sum up the atmosphere of the episode, yeah. They really did capture the feeling of racing against the clock.

Episode 39: That said, we get some fun stuff from our three heroes here having to work together and also get a cool rallying scene of the townspeople towards the very end.

Ultraman style endings are always a treat.

Episode 40: This was a weird one in terms of following up the past several episodes of either unique plot or rather tense/action packed episodes. A failed Jamanga creation pretty much causes chaos, Kenji and Fudo are feuding for some reason, Umi's back for some reason, but we get an interesting fight at the end out of it at the very least.

I'm glad you found more to like out of this one than I did.
