I'm with you Switchblade, I had similar reactions to this episode.

The part where Takeru visited the memories of the past was the best thing, the rest was trash.

I couldn't care less about Takeru's buddy and his mom, mainly because the guy never did anything to earn my sympathy and his mother is just a horrible person. Pushing your ideals of a man on your son like that? Not good. And it wasn't even resolved in a nice way, while Takeru dropped a fitting line it didn't even matter. I also said "Come on!"out loud when his mom in child-form immediately went "You’re a prince and a real man too!" just when he picked up a stick and got his ass kicked by the Ganma. Why would she say that? Makes no sense.

And the Tutankhamen bit... the only bit of sense I get out of this is that he seems to be able to open black holes, and black holes warp space and time. But how they used that to generate miniature pyramids which restore people's age and more importantly, how Japanese children are supposed to understand this, is beyond me. Tutankhamen Ex Machina.

There was another thing that annoyed me a lot in this episode: Mugen Mugen Mugen. They dropped the term "Infinite Potential" so often that I felt like someone slapped the magazine previews into my face screaming "Get it?! Because "Mugen" is Takeru's final form? Get it? Get it?!", kinda like this:



The worst part about this is I know I’m gonna see all those scenes again as a flashback once Takeru achieves the Mugen transformation.

So yeah, I didn’t enjoy this episode, at all.

So instead of Tut simply having an arbitrary ability to reverse time anomalies, he instead is able to reverse the effects of whichever Ganmeizer was responsible. I'm just suggesting this because it seems like the two groups of fifteen seem to loosely correspond with each other.

Interesting idea, but I doubt they'll explain this.
