Episode 7: The Faraway World

The evolution of the relationships in Star Driver is kinda what I wanted out of Dynazenon.

My biggest issue with the friendships in the latter show was that there was no real growth or journey. Everyone is BFFs from second one with little else to it.

Here in the former though, we not only see how the "Power Trio" meets and grows to care about one another, but also how much the inner workings and dynamics of the group have affected those involved.

Of course Sugata and Wako are going through the worst of it right now, and Takuto in his head realizes that, but he can't help but feel like he's possibly getting screwed over in some way as well. He's not even sure where he lies in the group dynamic, and it frustrates him, even if he doesn't vocalize it.

And if he really is a dear friend to the Island Couple, then he should be able to do something to help them, right? What good is he if he can't? These are feelings many of us, myself included, have struggled with before, and thankfully, the head of the Drama Club is there to give a solid answer: Sometimes, all you can do is be there, and that in itself is a wonderful thing.

This is very much the more action focused part 2 of the previous episode, and so I felt it fitting to finally highlight the battle theme here, which is surprisingly dramatic sounding for how swift many of the fights in Star Driver tend to be. Given all the tensions surrounding Sugata's' awakening and possible mind control during the climax though, it certainly fits the general mood. An invisible sword now hangs over our cast. It'll be interesting to see when it falls.
