[Frontier]

It's still hard to face the fact that Nasti was complicit in all the death and destruction Ramaga and the Demons perpetrated because she was working with them. Was she that desperate to get Ryo back? Or was it that and the charm itself? And now poor Mirei's gotten caught up in it.

The Armor of the Supreme Emperor is mighty indeed, and that's exactly what Ramaga wanted.

I...I can't believe they actually killed Mirei. They vaporized her! Even threw in a montage of moments that never happened on-screen before to rub it in! Come on!

Well, the Troopers are running on fumes and the remaining 10 Warriors...are getting their instruments ready for a concert while contemplating if their comrades' sacrifice was really worth it.

I'm not sure what fate is awaiting Nasti once this is all over, but at least Mr. Bureaucrat finally believes in the Samurai Troopers.

Nasti wasn't just working with Ramaga without a plan, she was using the bell Ryo gave her ala the Ancient One to try to bring Ryo back from within Ramaga...but is there anything of Ryo still left in there?

It's finally time for the Troopers' final battle with Ramaga! We even get a full multi-team armor transformation sequence! Too bad no matter how much of their special moves they unleash, they're not strong enough to make Ramaga even stand up from his throne.

And as if to add insult to injury, Ramaga shows that Demon Emperor Arago left a nasty parting gift to humanity...enough Demon Energy to transform all of Tokyo into Puppets. Everyone the Troopers have saved, so many innocent people, forcibly transformed into monsters...and there's nothing they can do about it. Gai has to face the empathy he's finally developed and Nasti has to face the consequences of her actions in the most horrific way possible. All the while the 10 Warriors pay accompaniment.

But this was all to draw out the Armor of the Supreme Emperor, armor that lets Gai hold his own against his father, but that's all so Ramaga could TAKE the armor for himself and become all powerful. That's what he wanted from day one!

And yet Nasti and Jun's efforts paid off. Ryo is STILL in there! And there's enough of him left to hold Ramaga back so Gai can use the sword to FREE RYO! And now Ryo and his successor can face off against Ramaga together!

THEY HAD RYO DO THE NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW!!!
