Replace with Final Fantasy and that's basically my thoughts.

Don't worry, their Shugod Souls are still intact. They can be rebuilt in time for Boonboomger VS King-Ohger!

The finale was truly wonderful given how much everything felt like it was building up to it. Kamejim's fate, the final battle with Dugded, the sacrifice of the Shugods, the metaphor about the universe being condensed into that tiny room, it's just *chef's kiss* it's beautiful. And the little epilogue of everyone's lives in the reformed kingdoms was very nice.

I totally agree. Kamejim got a special punishment from the 3 people he'd hurt the most and the climactic fight scene in Dugded's room and Super Ultimate Whatever God King-Ohger literally punching him outside of the universe feels like it's on a legendary scale I don't recall seeing before in the history of this franchise. Reminds me of Build's final battle against Evolt between the worlds.

But overall, I enjoyed this tremendously.

Seems like we need to see Adventure Heaven to get the full context for this, but I think the Land of the Dead stuff here had more weight than Mabusheena casually mentioning the summer movie event in Kiramager's finale. Getting to see Boshimar reunited with Racles and Douga and the previous Papillon-Ohger and Hachi-Ohger in action was awesome enough that I can forgive the slightly contrived feeling.

There were times it felt like it backpedaled and the Kyoryuger bits weren't as amazing (whether by me not having watched it, or because it felt out of place) as the rest of the story, I definitely enjoyed this series throughout.

Zenkaiger and King-Ohger have been fighting for the position of my favorite Reiwa Sentai for so long now. While I stand by my opinion that King-Ohger has a problem with fast pacing and I could've done without the Kyoryuger stuff, they're ultimately small complaints compared to this awesome story that the genius Takano was able to create with deep likable characters such as Gira, Hymeno, Jeremy and many others. Of course, Zenkaiger will continue to hold a special place in my heart as well, but I think my mind's finally made up here.

Reiwa Sentai Ranking:

1) King-Ohger
2) Zenkaiger
3) Donbrothers
4) Kiramager

So, uh, good luck Boonboomger. You'll need it. But if there's a wall, you just need to blow it up, right?

Tomorrow, I'll be catching up and giving my thoughts on Black Geats and the 4 Aces and Adventure Heaven.
