I remember how the Bugnarok once seemed like generic evil guys at the start. However, since Jeremy's introduction and the reveal of his half-and-half nature, we were encouraged to think more about their lore and culture that turned them this way. I certainly didn't expect that I would feel bad for Deathnarak, but he's had such a tragic life, persecuted by humanity for historical events he had nothing to do with and never knowing the kindness of others, until the moment before his death.

I really appreciate the moral this show has been trying to convey so far, about the importance of judging a person only by their own actions, not the group they were born in to. Such discrimination can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, as Deathnarak became the villain that the legend depicted him to be, seeing no hope of his people being accepted in a world with that legend. At a heavy cost, Jeremy has succeeded him as king of the Bugnarok. Now, as the repentant author of the inciting legend, it's up to him to ensure a tragedy like that never happens again.

Yep. Starting this month, Super Hero Time will be Kamen Rider Gotchard and Ohsama Sentai Cosmic Fu- uh, I mean, King-Ohger Season 2!

Pretty much. I've got a feeling that the new alien faction have a history with Terra and that Kamejim has been affiliated with them this whole time, having orchestrated the war between humans and Bugnarok for some mysterious reason, including the Fury of the Gods.

Not even a "might". It's totally confirmed! And yeah, this kind of thing has never happened right in the middle of a show before.
