[TheGloryXros]

Honestly, I have a REALLY hard time giving grades to these last few Episodes....I guess this one was....INTERESTING I guess?

First off, the heck is with Kanon being able to take out Ganma grunts with mere palm taps...? C'MON NOW...At first when I saw this, I wanted to believe she possibly got some sort of combat training from Makoto or the other Ganma when living there....then I remembered how much she's been the damsel in distress this entire show. XD

Second, Igor sacrificing himself for Akari....WHAT EVEN. NO. Just....NO. Did they really just off Igor in one of the most random ways, just to get him outta the way since they're running low on Episodes?!! I was hoping for some epic clash with Akari, where it's possibly even Akari herself that takes Igor down, but NOOOOOOO....

Third, the Makoto Clone subplot......THIS is where the "interesting" thing kicks in. It fascinates me how the Makoto Clone has now adapted Makoto's feelings & resolve, and became a good person, to the point where it sacrificed itself to heal the real one. Like someone else said, it would've been an interesting ending if the real Makoto died & the Makoto Clone truly had to step in the shoes of the original. But oh well. One thing that I think not many people caught though was, did anyone else notice the way the real Makoto was concerned for Kanon.....while the Makoto Clone was concerned for ALIA?!! Now, this isn't totally out of nowhere since Makoto has before shown care for Alia, but now I wonder why the Clone had her in interest.....which ties into the FLAW OF THIS SITUATION: WHY DIDN'T THEY FLESH OUT THIS SUBPLOT?!! I said this before, and I'll say it again: it's STILL not clear on just what the Makoto Clone is & why the Ganmaizers made it. My guess is they were using it to observe emotions, since that's what they somewhat show interest in, but....I mean, then why did it act like it did when first introduced, where it just kept challenging Makoto to battle? It's just weird, and not properly explained.

Fourth, Alain's confrontation with his brother. GOOD STUFF. Probably the only honest good part of this Episode.

Fifth, Takeru flipping Adel to good.....Well, lemme first start off with the good: The 15 Heroic Eyecons vs. the Ganmaizers was short but EPIC....Now for something INTERESTING. One thing to note is another thing I think alot of people probably overlooked: I know people will see Takeru hugging Adel & making him remember his past w/ his father as corny & a completely random ability, and not gonna lie I did too when I first saw it, but....after thinking a bit, it's actually not quite as random as I originally thought. If you guys remember, Takeru has been doing this since the first few Episodes. Now, of course, HOW he's doing it is still a mystery, but I don't think it's quite a deus ex machina, because remember, the Ganmaizers have been commenting on how Takeru is "evolving" into something. Takeru's ability to do Redeeming Hug no Jutsu might have something to do with what is soul is transforming into.

......But yea, Takeru converting Adel like this was LAME. Not to mention he frickin ONE-SHOT Adel at the end, instead of it being a grand fight to at least redeem the rushed conversion.....SIGH....
