Randy being the biggest surprise though, with him being more than willing to throw down in order to save Rena.

I think it's cool how Rena and Randy are actively supporting Ray in his Bima adventures now. The Zacros arc really shows their strong sibling connection, as Bima proves that his familial love is his strength rather than the weakness Zacros mistook it for and Rena and Randy prove they can be pretty capable on their own as well.

Not sure if Hayase would've written something like this after revealing Bima's identity to Rena, but Nakazawa totally made up here for his below average first impression and I'd say he has a strong grasp on his vision for the show from now on.

Same here! I love his charisma, his perpetual unnerving smile and how his name sounds similar to Kamen Rider ZX. Him going first was a cool way to establish Shadow Crisis as an elite team of monsters, but that also means the coolest member has already gone.

Power Stone Ungu already gave Bima his theme song, Seperti Bintang. That's better than any weapon!
