Actually no, it's just people having severely lack of knowledge regarding media, not getting exposed enough to media. Yeah many people in Indonesia are like that, only knowing handful of media or media traits, that are mainstream (typically the ones who got aired in TV, like Naruto for anime).

And this raises an interesting moral dilemma: Is it okay for Bima to fight back against these regular people? Do the ends of defending Indonesia from Vudo justify the means of going through the very people Bima has sworn to protect? Unfortunately, this quandary is never actually addressed as outside of the initial beating from the townsfolk, such a scenario never happens again.

Like Sh Ranger said, Bima has a right to defend himself from the attacks. As long as ofc, he doesn't use excessive force, especially that if it's normal humans. I disagree with the notion of how heroes must not look out for themselves which some people say (and must be permanently in hardships), it's ok to be your best selves in your heroism (in this case, not being injured against the main threat). But this is one of villain's tactics to get the hero to stop, a hostage situation where they deliberately made heroes' choice potentially harm the people they'd protect. The end never justify the means, but unintentional bad outcome doesn't make the heroes bad.

The Valcus Monster is the main threat this time around, and I think it's got my favorite design of the monster so far; Looking like a monstrous Sasword.

Vudo's' main method of attack this time is one that actually ties into what is probably their primary objective of stealing Earth's' natural resources, with Valcus draining the planet of its electricity.

Yeah, this one is nice for VUDO actually acting like what they're established as, of them wanting to bring life to Parallel World, but it comes at the cost of depriving the Earth from life itself. It's a situation where only one side can win, and VUDO doesn't care regarding the existing life. Though still Rasputin feels just like he wants to rule the world like typical overlord.
