Not only is the message itself a very realistic one, but I loved the touch to Ray's' character that tied into it; At first, Ray is simply saying all of this just to impart some hope into Dion, but the message ends up getting thrown back at him when the Crow Monster shows up. In a bit of an ironic way, Bima gives the lesson to Dion, who then in turn ends up imparting that same lesson onto Ray. And because this is Toku, it ends up resulting in a wicked powerup.

There's something pretty satisfying about Bima showing up at the hospital to give Dion some courage to face the surgery he needs to live. Shows that Ray has really embraced his role as a hero who helps people and likewise how the people have also warmed to him as a symbol of hope.

Of course, the other thing that has changed is the action, which has improved significantly since the show started. Bima God Helios' debut was awesome! The garuda got his wings and it wasn't only from Merah and Biru working together to empower Helios, but also from Ray believing in his own hope to face the adversity, becoming the proof that Dion needed to accept it as well.

The second member of Shadow Crisis, Karax, also has a good design, being a raven monster with ice powers from Power Stone Putih, which is thematically appropriate since ravens commonly live in cold habitats. But despite being one of the elite, he gets taken out in only one episode, just like Lizarion did.

I think this standalone episode works great though, as it makes a smooth transition to the final arc. Regarding that English voice, he should sound a little familiar! You'll see very soon.
