Even if someone had the preview, the context within the episode itself is still a bit irksome, given that, again, half the goal of the show up to that point is to get all of the Stones back. And there's still no proper explanation given for why Bima-X can't use the White Stone.

However, I think that actually justifies Dimas' decision to try getting to know Ray better, allowing him to appreciate more what they're fighting to protect and earning Ray's respect.

That is one neat detail: Dimas was all in on being a hero of justice from day 1, whereas Ray was reluctant a first before deciding to put others above himself.

The screencap was confusing, until I remembered it was Niko, not Reza.

Just imagine how the family felt! Haha.

I liked how Shadow Crisis' plot to try using human hosts again was defeated this time by showing the power of humanity in Niko, who despite lacking the physical strength of his opponents has the strong spirit and boxing skills to make up for it, making this another time where Zacros underestimates humanity's bonds.

It really does help to sell these episodes as a callback to the style of BIMA. Daisuke Kihara really did his homework for that.
