So, my computer of 14 years ended up dying Monday morning. The week was spent on me just living off my scuffed laptop as I look into a replacement. I just got the replacement set up yesterday and of course needed to get my stuff back. This of course meant redoing the Bima-X Torrents I had lost (I've been grabbing them in chunk) which took way too long. Anyway I'm back now and spent the day just playing catch-up so let's get started.
In terms of General Thoughts, I do enjoy having all three Satrias active. It makes for some fun pairings and cool situations where one or two get the spotlight. Torga's a beauty of a suit, and Ice Mode just keeps it up. I also love Dimas' changer. Dimas himself though... he's got his quirks to him but I don't think I'm entirely sold on him. He's a solid ally though, I'll say that for sure.
That said the worst crime of this batch of episodes is the opening switch-up. I'm sorry but starting from the Chorus just kills the entire vibe of the OP, especially with the obvious cuts. It's also a lot shorter so it's a lot more cramped than it should be. Did they ended up having to cut off 20 seconds of the OP for time or something? Cause if so that's a shame. Anyway...
Episodes 22-23:
I'd say a solid introduction to Dimas, though continuing from the prior episodes, my focus is more on Iron Mask and his connection to the Power Stones and Satrias. We're really delving into his mystery now and it's got me very excited.
Episodes 24-25:
I have to agree on Black Lord just being really off in terms of portrayal. Like even with the excuse of Vudo has only one more chance to grab a Power Stone, his attitude was just weird. Bima-X Magnet is pretty funky in both appearance, powers, and form jingle. It's probably my second favorite of the alt-form changes. There's just something about the purple accents that work better than the blue ones they used for Storm.
Episodes 26-27:
It feels like they have ideas for what they want to do with Dimas, but keep getting mixed up on the execution. I will say I do find it interesting how Atlas doesn't change like Helios does with forms, and Torga gets new weapons instead. That said, yet again Iron Mask continues to intrigue me with his connections to the heroes. And I'm excited to see where that leads.
Episode 28:
I was not expecting a Reza/Azazel focus Recap Episode, but sure, why not? Honestly it just shocked me they decided to recap a chunk of the original Bima in this episode. Hell I wasn't expecting Rasputin to return, though his face has certainly seen better days, ha ha. We get some good character focus on Reza and his thoughts on his prior actions. Though I hope he isn't gone too long since having seen the next two episodes, he's once again absent. But still, a good focus episode despite it being a recap.
Episode 29-30:
Zoik is honestly the most entertaining of the Vudo Monsters this time around, and his scenes were always a delight to witness. Honestly for being the smart one, you'd think Rexor would've avoided reusing Zoik, but oh well lol. Iron Mask continues to get some great stuff, and his three-way fight with Bima-X and Zoik at the start was honestly hilarious to watch. Though of course his fight at the beginning was a stunning one in terms of effects. I don't think I was too sold on the Dimas stuff here either, which is a shame. But I do like the expansion of Limbo, and Bima Legend returning means getting to see more of the OG Bima Suit so like, sign me up!
Overall I had a great time catching up.
