The second episode focuses on Setsune, aka Gavan Bushido. We learn more about this guy and the reasons behind his behavior. He's an android who travels through space and fights for justice. Not being human, Setsune feels unworthy of the title of Gavan, and therefore is particularly hurt by the appearance of another space sheriff with the same title. Fortunately, Reiji shows his best side again and manages to find common ground with Setsune. I especially enjoyed their parting words:
"If I were human, I could cry right now."
"But I'm human and I don't cry."
It also seems Setsune has also lost a loved one, meaning he and Reiji share more than just their title and the fight against crimes.
The plot also develops. We learn that Makuu Space in the local version is opened with the help of Emogears. Also, the main culprit turns out to be not a slick revolutionary, but a crime boss selling Emogears. And his robotic arm is very much of the 1980s and 1990s. Overall, this episode has a lot more sci-fi and retro elements, which clearly distinguishes the new franchise from CR and Super Sentai. Also, the case is still unsolved, because it turns out that the source of Emogears in different worlds is the same. And it's a dark Gavan, looking like he got hit by a truck. I'd venture to guess that his job as Space Sheriff didn't work out. I wouldn't really want a hero who was upset at the organization, considering that NOX is already in the neighborhood.
There's also an ending! With a dance! That's right, we need to take the best from Super Sentai: dancing, giant robots, and teamwork. I also really like the color-coding of the characters' worlds in the ending, even if I don't have enough information yet to decipher it all.
Overall, I really like the lighter, simpler, and more positive tone of the show. It helps him see things through, especially now that Zeztz has entered his darkest period. And judging by the announcement of the next episode, there will be even more fun, because Luminous Gavan's Emogear is happiness. And it's also interesting that she seems to be more of an explorer than a police officer.
P.S. Isn't the rusty jeep in the warehouse a replica of the car from the original trilogy?
