The main issue is pacing. This is two different episodes glued together and played at double speed, making for a sharp contrast of what the show has been up to now.

There's the defeat of Iron Mask, with Bima gaining the Blue Power Stone, and then there's the return of Azazel, which at first is framed though he became his own entity, but apparently not? Oh, this also qualifies as a recap episode too, for some reason.

Feels like the plot of Episode 16 was too small to fit two episodes yet too big to fit one and this is the result for Episode 17. An awesome climax at the start, followed by.... Stuff that I mostly forgot. So yeah, let's talk about that climactic fight between Bima and Topeng Besi, I guess.

In case you needed another reason for why Helios is half blue and half wind elemental, now we have Bima using Power Stone Biru in his new left gauntlet claw. Merah and Biru have special synergy that can gradually bring out more potential in Helios. Wind helps fire to spread and fire helps wind to rise.

But if the enemy manages to evade Taranis' ranged attacks and get too close, then switching to blade mode would be a practical choice.
