Die is massively underselling how awesome the superhero action in this one is, so please allow me to take a second to pick up the slack.



This episode proves that Ibuki is the best there is at what he does, and what he does is have an amazing soundtrack I mean just get a load of this you guys it is so nuts

On top of having that postively majestic score backing it up, the fight scene in this one is pure joy for one other reason, which is the whole gimmick of Ibuki not having his trademark weapon.

It's the kind of simple but effective twist on the formula that shows would no longer be able to do so easily as hero tokusatsu moved more and more towards endless form changes and gimmicks. You take a Full Bottle away from Build, and he just pulls out two more. You take Ibuki's trumpet gun away, and it forces him to fundamentally adjust his entire style, relying on slick wind-powered melee moves that maybe don't move merchandise quite as well, but make for a supremely entertaining piece of television. Kinda the overall theme with this show, I guess.

Once again, I can't help but feel this show's monsters become infinitely more entertaining the more they act like Grongi.
