It's the debut of Kaguragi DyBOOOOWski! Yeah, I enjoy the way he says his name like that.

While the previous two episodes focused on why Yanma's a good king and Himeno's a good queen despite their flaws, this episode actually inverts the formula. Kaguragi's willing to do anything for his country and people, sadly including screwing over other countries and people, which makes him an opportunist. I think he's going to have a hard time earning back Gira's trust after this.

It kind of gives a modicum of merit to Racles' belief in making a Terra united as a singular mega-nation, since Kaguragi limiting his morality and compassion only to Tofu is a common problem with self-righteous leaders who will turn a blind eye to affairs beyond their own borders. Of course, Racles only cares about himself, so Kaguragi is at least a better leader than him. And he's just entertaining to watch, honestly.

Not sure how Kaguragi plans for Gira's international trial to go, considering how Yanma and Himeno can easily testify for him that all three of them and Sebastian had been abducted to Tofu against their will. Rita made a cameo in Ishabana, so they should have a pretty good idea of how to make an informed judgment of Gira from their observations of him. Unless, maybe Kaguragi is long-term plotting against Racles as well, which wouldn't surprise me.

It was cute how Kuwagon broke the spell on God Kabuto by hugging them. That's a move taken from Tenkuuji Takeru! The Kabuto Cannon is seriously strong, with enough power to blow through a mountain! As expected of one of the three legendary Shugods.
