Episode 24: Era

I get what this finale wanted to do, but it very much didn't work for me.

Even ignoring the (literal) handwave of Sigma living after Ganon gets blown up, the final reveals the episode does with him more confuse me than anything.

Like, if he was Purple the entire time, why was it never mentioned until now? I get Sigma not saying anything; he has no real reason to. But Koga? For all the importance those friends of his allegedly had, why wouldn't he say anything?

Heck, if Koga knew that Sigma was that kid the whole time, he should've been flabbergasted to see Leo at the very least. I guess you could say Koga only pieced it together later on, but I dunno, that just seems like a rather loose excuse, since he wouldn't have too much to go off of in that case.

Plus, just to nitpick, the promise the two made was if they fell to darkness as Knights. And Sigma isn't one, so like.

But that all aside, the way Ganon gets defeated is the best way it could've happened, and the final battle between Koga and Sigma, with the Saejima Mansion getting blown to Hell and the fight going anti-gravity makes for a really awesome sequence with cool visuals.

I just wish I were way more emotionally invested in like, any of the major players involved, is all.

And while Makai Senki might be done, this stretch I'm doing for the thread isn't over quite yet. There's still a bonus episode and two moves left to go.
