Here we are at the last batch of episodes of Zenkaiger this year! And boy were they not some good ones.

Hakaiju-Oh is officially my favorite Mech this year, whose design I could probably spend all day gushing about. But everything else about this episode was brilliant! It's kind of neat seeing the aftermath of a Mech battle in Sentai where the city is in ruins and there are people scrounging around the debris, and battle against Hakaiser with the Zenkaigers reviewing his entire life up to that point was such a great moment, which culminates in that beautiful reunion between Isao and Kaito. And boy did I not have the greatest treat seeing Zenkaiju-Oh vs Hakaiju-Oh.

Now for the real New Year's special, I've only ever had Udon, so I guess that's where I stand on that front (though I do really like pasta). But anyway, this episode was great, from Zox continuing his obsession with Manga, the many Noodles and how people get into fights specifically for them, and Kaito (after proudly proclaiming to be a Ramen fan) uniting everyone against Noodle World (who looks a lot like Hedorah) by turning him into Pasta World, then ultimately the villain gets foiled by making everyone into just about every noodle type in existence, resulting in his downfall. This episode was just what I was hoping for with Zenkaiger for the end of the year.

Isao seems to still need charge, which is a little sad, and now heads off to parallel worlds in search for Mitsuko, whilst leaving the DonBrothers gear with Kaito.

Next Episode: Warm blankies and Peach Boy Red!
