This episode has a lot to live up to, since it's adapting one of the most tragic episodes of Ryusoulger, one that successfully made me cry. Does this one? Well, no, Dino Fury didn't have the setup for that, since Zayto and Tarrick aren't best buds like Koh and Nada were at this point. But by Dino Fury standards (I love this show), this is still a great conclusion for Tarrick's redemption arc, before he gets immediately abducted by his wife. He even gets some seriously bad*ss one-liners to Snageye as he prepares to sacrifice what's left of his power to rescue the Rangers. Curry does some really strong acting here, showing how much Zayto begrudges Tarrick for unleashing the Sporix on innocent people for the sake of one person. Zayto's trust in the Sporix got his planet destroyed, so of course he's not going to trust so easily. Javi gives a pretty simple explanation of the concept of character development, citing recent examples, but it feels relevant and points out that, hey, these morals aren't just one-off things for filler episodes! The Rangers and their loved ones, even Warden Buzzkill, are learning to become better people, so why not Tarrick? The Rangers were able to forgive Zayto for his past. After seeing how Tarrick is serious about repenting, he realizes it's only fair that he extends the same courtesy. (I maintain that Dino Knight is a stupid name though but at least it's not the name of this show)

The title of this episode is a reference to the 13th episode of Beast Morphers Season 2. The morals here are pretty straightforward. Aiyon learns that charity is good and sharing is caring. His new all-gold duds looked tacky anyway. Izzy learns not to be a hypocrite and that "give and take" is a necessary part of friendship. There's only one way for both parties to win at Prisoner's Dilemma. The Primal Ultrazord makes its official debut here, with Solon having solved the problem of its unstable power. While I love the designs of each of the Zords in this combination, I still think it's a waste for such an inclusive Zord system to only use 3 components.

I'm a pretty big fan of Pricious, being a villain who feels genuinely intimidating to both sides. But Pricious with a deep dude's voice is just surreal! That's not the only change. While Pricious was a skilled manipulator, Void King is the one being manipulated. And of course, Void King's true identity is Tarrick, having been unwillingly mutated and brainwashed by Void Queen. Sounds like good cause for a divorce, don't you think? It's clever how Zayto's training to counter Void King's mimicry parallels Javi's problem with his song being plagiarized and I sure wasn't expecting the illusion Max Ryusoul Red to be adapted as Javi borrowing Zayto's new Morpher. Blair is kind of incredulous here, claiming that Javi could never write a winning song even though he already acknowledges his talent when he hired him as a backup musician not long ago. Neat little meta joke with the panel being named after the show's staff as well. Warden Buzzkill proves he was serious about changing, as he passionately stands up for Javi to the panel. It's nice to see. I like how Javi applies his experience with different instruments here to perform the same song Blair stole, but DTM. Poor Mucus though, seriously, screw Wreckmate. Good thing she can heal.

Okay, I'm all caught up!
