That episode slapped so hard! Setsuna/Bushido is an awesome character, and Reiji inspiring him to live for himself and the mission he's given himself was great. And the Gavan Blade was just chef's kiss! Love that they go into Makuu space for the climax fights just like the original. And I loved the villain this time, hoping he's not a one-off and becomes like a recurring "lieutenant" character like Hunter Killer was in the original.

So far, Toei has been able to marry the best parts of Gavan and Sentai into something awesome, and I hope it continues. I also really like Reiji/Infinite's mech design and can't wait for the other forms, and if we get different mechs from the other Gavans (I think this episode sealed it, and I'm preordering both of the Minpla sets). And we have hints of a Black Gavan, so excited to see where that goes.

Lastly, we got the soft intro of the yellow Gavan and her partner. They are both really cute and I can't wait to see the dynamic between them and the other parties. Overall, this was 10x better than the already pretty good first episode. I'm enjoying the intro arc and worldbuilding, but am eager to get past this arc into the meat of the show and see where it goes. Great start so far!
