Good episode, but I feel like there was too little reaction to Makoto's sacrifice. But then, I was under the impression that he'd actually managed to get his body back, but...I guess not. Regardless, this does not put Makoto in a very pleasant position, and Takeru having little reaction beyond "whoops i guess i dun fucked up" was a little eh.

The part where all 15 ghosts were hanging out in the basement was definitely really cool, wish it could have been a bit longer but it did what it had to. Grateful as a form is still pretty cool, but kind of...cluttered? 15 is just too many forms, man. The transformations sequence ran a bit longer than the jingle, which is rare and makes it feel a bit out of sync. And the whole sequence for the Zendaikaigan was basically an incomprehensible mess of sounds. And I'm still not fond of all the faceplates being flat colors. But still, cool.

The thing of greatest interest was definitely the tablet going out of the prayer room and upgrading Ultima to...Ultima Fire, the Asahi site says. Simple name, but appropriate I guess. Wonder what's up with that. The more we know, the more questions we have...

Also a bit shocked that Javert didn't die. Thought this would be a repeat of the Boost debut but I guess he's sticking around this time a bit more. Though I mean...he has his body back so he's kind of human, I think, so maybe Takeru wouldn't be that into it. Not that he knows that. Still.
