Even the Hiromu moral? it?s just him saying that an hour of getting pummeled is nothing compared to thirteen years of training for hyperspace, so why in the world would Enter think that he'd lose trust in the team now? It?s a great big heroic declaration of trust and resourcefulness, and it?s perfect for this episode. It?s a Big Emotion about resolve, about gaining strength from the support of others? just like in pro-wrestling! The other Go-Busters are the crowd cheering Hiromu on, and that?s enough for him to mount the comeback that fends off Enter?s plans. Perfect. It?s perfect!

I can tell that this episode has more appeal to wrestling fans, but like many sports-themed stories, it's a pretty good way to test the endurance of the focus character to the limit, both physically and mentally. I do pick up some terminology though, like "Babyface" from Gotchard, which I guess would apply to Redbuster and Nick here.

Other than the main plot, I recall this is the one where poor Bluebuster almost breaks his hand by punching glass?

I'd say this is Toei's fault for not giving this Gattai a better name. I think King Buster Oh could've worked, as Over-Time could translate that to King Buster King.

Bae's mecha fight commentary was entertaining enough that even Jungle Fury had to adapt it!
