Episode 24: Finding the Last Power Stone

Episode 25: The Unseen Power... Purple Bima-X!

Black Lord was really out of character during these two episodes.

But that's not the important part. The important part is that we not only acquire the Purple Power Stone, but learn what its element is: Magnets.

And yeah, thinking about it, I don't recall it ever being stated what element Purple actually was in the original BIMA. And I suppose magnetic powers would aid in making illusions seem all the more real.

That being said, the Stone isn't the only cool thing going on in these episodes. There are two very big hooks in terms of BIMA-X's' plot here. First, that there's a new lead on the parents of our heroes, and second, that Rexor has been collecting the remains of the Grand Gator.

And while I won't spell my instant thought process outright, I will say that, hmm, I do wonder what all of that scrap metal could be used for, if it hasn't already?

The Rhino Monster also makes his debut here, and he's pretty fun. I not only thought the suit was nice, but I liked how a sledge hammer was his weapon of choice, and Mossa and Rexor having a backup plan with him planting sonars all around Indonesia incase the Stone acquisition went south was a very nice detail that leads us into our next arc.

The last thing I can think to note is how not only is Dimas now a part of both the opening and ending sequences, but the opening now plays the next section of "Kembali Bertahan." And like, the song is nice and all, but that specific section really does not work as a TV opening, if you ask me.

So yeah, a couple small bumps, but overall a cool set of episodes that got me excited for future developments.
