In this Super Hero Time, the Swordsmen fight in the North Pole, while Vroon ends up in the South Pole. Talk about symmetry!

How about that amazing debut of Blades Tategami Hyoujyuu Senki though?! That's my new favorite fight scene of the show now. You don't really get to see a big fight scene outside of Japan like this often. I think the last time we got a North Pole fight was in Sun Vulcan, then a South Pole fight in Bioman. Is this really the first time for the 21st Century and for KR in general? Awesome! I like how he can make ice constructs using animal powers, similar to how Cross-Z Charge can make jelly constructs.

It's important what this means to Rintarou as well, finally freeing himself from the leash of the corruption of SOL and declaring his own statement of heroism, the values he stands for and the things that he wants to protect. I think that's a good moral, that these organizations can only ever be as moral as the people behind it and Rintarou is probably the most archetypal chivalrous knight character in this show. This moment is appropriately as heroic as it is emotional and shows that he can take charge of his own story, like Touma taught him.

I would have to liked to see Zooous getting his Predator mode and showing his determination to defeat Blades, instead of it happening offscreen and now he's suddenly just there. Out of the 3 Megid generals, I thought he was the one with the most interesting personality and backstory. He expressed the most concern for his comrade Legeiel's death, even just a little, and takes his own death like a sportsman as well, which is consistent with his respect for strong enemies, showing that he finally acknowledges Rintarou as a worthy adversary like Kenshin was once. I think this was a good conclusion to their rivalry and Zooous' character arc.

It's nice to see more of the Northern Base, outside of the library, even though it's predictably very similar to Southern Base. Ogami gets knocked unconscious twice here, this is not his lucky day. Reika continues to be a complete loser, while Ryouga isn't much better but seems to be at least slightly competent. Touma's sudden ability to see his trick sure gave him an advantage but I wonder how that's manifesting here? Sophia even endures some injuries as she tries to keep the force field up against Zooous Predator to protect the Swordsmen, showing that she's really more useful and brave than people give her credit for.

The title may be a reference to Let It Go, but the cold definitely bothers Rintarou, who gets the sneezes.
