Yep. Episode 16 is a big one, though.

Calm before the storm.

Skipping fifteen and jumping right into sixteen then!

So what was so special about episode 16? I'm guessing it's all in reference to the final curveball at the end, yeah? Aside from that though, I actually thought this episode was kinda weak.

TOWSITD 17.

I'm really impressed, GARO, you've never been able to tell a cohesive story before, but this season has come together quite beautifully. I mean you actually planned and thought out your narrative? Are you not feeling well? I just hope it won't be like Barago again, where you spend ages building it up, to just disregarding it all right at the end.

I also loved how as soon as the cards were played, chaos ensued. I wonder if the series can keep moving at this pace for the whole remaining set of episodes. If it can, this series may yet become awesome.

Different head writer and director.

TOWSITD 18.

From a storytelling/character standpoint I thought this was a lot of fun. Tousei chews the scenery brilliantly, and each fresh curve ball makes a surprisingly large amount of sense and doesn't just feel like it came out of nowhere.

Everything else...wasn't great. When our heroes randomly appeared on a lift without context or reason, we were treated to some of the worst green screen effects I think I've ever seen GARO do, coupling that with those cheap looking CGI armours and Horrors, it felt like I was watching a playthrough of a budget video game title.

About the only half decent fight was Ryuga's fight with Sonshi, and that is because Sonshi is a total badass. He deserves to be in an earlier season where he could have got an actual suit.

This was a fun episode in some ways, in others not so much... on the one hand, it was nice to learn more about Ryuga and have GARO be more of a...thing. The weird thing about the armours in the GARO franchise is despite being integral to the universe of their story, they are normally tacked on like the Power Rangers Megazord sections, and the armours themselves are only every really explored in episodes centred on them, rather than naturally explored over the course of the series. However the longer GARO seemed to go on, the less and less they bothered even with the self contained armour exposition episodes, so it was nice to have one at all, even if it wasn't a naturally flowing piece of storytelling.

It was also nice to learn more about how the Zaruba contract works.
