Episode 31: Akebono's Biggest Incident!

Setoyama finally gets his own episode!

And it's actually a really cool one all around: Not only is it a focus episode on someone who never got one, but the premise itself is a very cool one.

The plot: Setoyama needs to deliver a briefcase full of Caster Keys that he hasn't been able to decipher to National Defense. Meanwhile, an armored bank car attempts to deliver a case of 10 million yen to the Akebono Bank.

Of course the cases get switched when both parties end up under attack; And what results is a scenario in which, at least initially, SHOT has to deal with something the police should be handling while the Akebono PD gets in over their heads chasing after the Jamanga.

While said premise isn't utilized to its fullest extent, the rest of the episode has so much good going for it that I don't really mind. The action is alot of fun, and features a really awesome looking group Henshin between God Ryukendo and Magna Ryugunoh. And connected to that, the episode features the best use of the commercial inserts I've seen from any show in a long while.

But really, the star of the show is Setoyama, who shows that even if he is a bit of a scaredy-cat, he's able to step up when needed, and while his magic might not be the best, he can for sure still wield it effectively. His actor brought alot of charisma to the role and pulled off the Harry Potter look flawlessly.

This was just a really fun ride all the way through. Great stuff.
