Here's my hang up though: What makes Lady Mossa, or even her situation, at all special? All throughout this show both the audience and our heroes alike have seen how Black Lord treats his soldiers like trash and willingly experiments on them. So why should Mossa get any pity where no one else got any?

Probably since Lady Mossa is clearly suffering from the influx of Power Stones and it sucks to see such a proud fighter end up like that. I agree with Ray wanting to save her, as even though she did some terrible things, especially to Rena, she was a loyal soldier and didn't deserve to be abused by Black Lord. I think it shows Ray's heroism that he's able to put aside his personal feelings to try and sympathize with her and do what he believes is right. So yeah, I have to disagree with you on this one, as I actually thought this episode was an emotional finale for Lady Mossa, with again, some great acting to sell it all.

Zombie Draconer.... Is a zombie though.

Speaking of Shadow Crisis, it was cool to see that Iron Mask didn't just blindly go with what Rexor said. Iron Mask knew that something was obviously up and reacted according. It's refreshing, given the trends of of some other shows I've seen recently with their villains.

Topeng Besi can always be relied upon to do his own thing, so expecting him to actually take the bait is Rexor's critical error in his tactical scheme.

Episode 48: Climactic Fight Between Two Torgas

You've got every monster of the week coming back for one final bout(complete with Sentai intro!), Iron Mask getting his revenge on Rexor, and the return of God Helios(though purely as a vehicle this time).

I preferred God Helios becoming armor for Bima than a vehicle for Bima-X. It just doesn't have the same awesome feeling for me that it did before.

It's a great way to show how far Dimas has come thanks to the wisdom of his sempai Satrias, entrusting him with the indispensable job of taking care of their oldest arch enemy and predecessor to the mantle of Torga. While Topeng Besi lost his heroic spirit, Dimas' has been gradually growing since his debut and now we can see them fight to the death to determine whose emotion is stronger: Topeng Besi's undying hatred or Dimas' desire to protect.

Oh, they will.
