Episode 21

No that is not some dumb edit I made, this is legit.

And really, do I at all need to sell you on the rest of this episode? That's all you need to know for a hook, right?

Alright, fine. So uh, turns out that Gackt was the mysterious voice from last episode, and not only that, but he's a Satria too. And alongside him comes not only the third member of Shadow Crisis, but an escapee from the Parallel World.

The blood pumping action that Gackt brings along with him aside, there's a surprising amount of world building contained in this episode. As the girl who escaped from Vudo highlights just how much her home world has suffered, while simultaneously establishing that not everyone in that world supports the invasion that Rasputin has put into motion.

And of course there's the Wolf Monster, wielder of the Green Power Stone with the element of Earth. Not exactly sure how Earth ties into a sonic boom creating howl, but sure, I can roll with it. Interestingly, he doesn't seem to recognize Gackt, despite the two seemingly having the same goals in mind.

The episode overall is very much setup for the next one, but really, Gackt showing up out of nowhere in an Indonesian Tokusatsu production did all the carrying in terms of momentum.

Decade's' Gackt cameo wishes it was this good.
