And the very ungenerous take on this is the implication that the lack of proper mindset is the reason why the duo couldn't beat Evil Torga to begin with. Which is frankly very insulting to the characters as well as very ignorant of the entire narrative up to now since a ton of episodes had to do with these characters putting others above themselves: Dimas using his wealth to aid the people of Jakarta, Ray resolving to help everyone he can ever since the original BIMA, etc.

Feels that I see this in many shows where they insist that one's victory or loss is about their mindset, rather than the technical part (e.g. power, talent), thus the ones with biggest resolve (e.g. shonen MCs) would prevail in the end, and their loss isn't treated as their power level being weak but their mindset. Maybe this is done to prevent the privilege implication or such. Guess some shows should be just frank that it's due to technical part one can win or lose and that the technical part can be improved too.
