Well, that's the end of Kinjiro's storyline. We saw his family again, and the old man finally understood what it means to be a true party person. Or, to put it bluntly: to be truly happy. It's great that Knife and Cake helped him with that, even if they used very extreme methods. Also, given that the focus is on Kinjirou, it's obvious he'll lose. But he doesn't seem upset, and the eggs still work (A gift from Tega Sword? And his old friend, the Dairanger, won't be offended?). However, I liked that Sumino, for the first time since the actress change, wasn't a background character. I also want to praise the betting strategy for the rings. Kinjirou and Sumino, as well as Rikuo and Ryugie, have a strong bond, which allows for many emotional moments. And Hoeru and Kumade are the strongest, so their battle will be interesting to watch.
Elsewhere: Candle uses Calamity's power to save the No-One world. This is another interesting parallel in this episode: both Kinjiro and Candle go against their friends' decisions at the beginning of the episode. However, while one isn't ready to fight, the other's desires are completely opposite. And while Kinjiro ultimately makes the right decision, Candle may cross the point of no return. Essentially, what's happening shows that since his time as Universe Shinkenger, Candle hasn't made the right decisions.
Kumade also sees visions of a far greater evil, meaning the Gozyugers will still have someone to fight together. Which makes sense, since the end of a 50-year franchise demands a spectacular finale.
So I'm still enjoying watching. Especially considering that the next episode promises a concert by Rikuo and the much-fanned Lady Bouquet.
