And speaking of that, sad to say that the ending of this kinda annoyed me. Ricca gives Bima-X the White Power Stone, and yet, for whatever reason, he can't transform with it, and he gives it back after the fight with Rexor is over. I get that we don't want too many forms too fast, but given that half the objective of the adventure is to gather all the Stones, it made me groan.

Considering how Power Stone Putih is ice-elemental, the opposite of fire, it would probably be difficult for Ray to synchronize with it. Even as Bima-X, he needs experience to master the Stones, which is exactly what these episodes show with him getting used to optimizing his 3 forms. So I think that him returning Putih to Ricca was a practical choice, while also strengthening the trust between them.

Hard to miss with orchestral mixes!

And that's kinda all there is to it in terms of plot. We get a tease about how Ricca's' boss is soon to become the new Satria, and since he's apparently Tiger themed I suppose his makes sense he gets Orange and White.

This Stone kind of came out of nowhere. Remember, when Shadow Crisis had Stones, Velifer used the metal-elemental Power Stone Kuning, which for some reason is now Power Stone Oranye. I dislike how they suddenly changed the color, so for future reference, if I continue to mention Kuning, I'm actually talking about Oranye.

Good to see that despite Topeng Besi's recent focus on Bima-X, he hasn't forgotten about his other rivalry with Azazel. Especially since there's a new Satria on the way, who will surely become another target of his hatred.

Nope, Azazel is still the "Secondary Rider" of the Satrias. The new guy is just your typical "Q2 Rider" like Necrom, Woz or Saikou.
