Just reminding us that way back a whole year ago, those actors had to practice those steps to film that super early on, and the place it was filmed is actually of some significance if I remember right, and it's like this whole little story unto itself that we've probably been taking for granted after 40+ episodes of it, so they gave the dance one last chance to shine before the end. Again, real cool touch to throw in.

Exactly! While ALMIGHTY has come up a lot in this thread, we haven't actually talked much about the ED. Which is surprising, as it's such a novelty for this franchise that we definitely shouldn't take it for granted, especially when it's also a catchy upbeat dance theme, a strong contrast to Kuuga's and Hibiki's. It was so generous that we got this back-to-back with the dance themes for Kiramager and Zenkaiger, as there's been a recent trend in Sentai of omitting the ED in LupinPatren and now King-Ohger, while Zenkaiger did the same but made the OP the dance theme instead. I think, in general, we should all just have more appreciation for ED themes. The Kamen Rider Saber theme was always a fun way to end each episode!
