He rose up to be the exact hero that Cinta saw him as. Very cool.

Even Lady Mossa seemed kind of sympathetic at the end.

Oh yeah, the actors have certainly come a long way from the start of the franchise. And all of their hard work certainly pays off.

Poor Rena getting thrown in more danger pretty much immediately after they got her back. She handles the dilemma with courage though and Cinta's backstory is an important reminder that even though a lot of people might be dying outside as Torga fails to reach them, just like Ricca's family during the Grand Gator incident, there are still a lot of people who are grateful to the Satrias for saving them and their loved ones. So Rena will continue to believe strongly in Ray to save people and this is a good source of hope for Cinta.

For sure. As dark as this episode got, there was always the light of hope at the end of it. Both figuratively and literally.

For sure, this is what heroes look like! I guess you could say this scene really elevated the episode, haha.

Oh you~

So, here's the thing. You are technically correct. Although the line you're referring to comes from episode 16 specifically.

While you can take Iron Mask's' boasts that he's "living armor" literally, given the context of both that episode as well as the next, it's more likely he's just being theatrical. Because his duplication ability very clearly comes from the Power Stone; Hence why Bima is able to do the same to counter him.

Alternatively, given how he really didn't have any sort of backstory in BIMA, his backstory as explained in BIMA-X offers a different take: That he honestly thought he was a full on machine due to his missing memories.

So like, is it a retcon? Yeah, technically. But it's not a major one in my eyes.
