No matter how the series plays out, I'm going to consider Basco the true villain of this series.

The Zangyack were unable to do anything of importance to the Gokaigers.
Basco captured the Gokaigers. Twice. And consistently beat the snot out of them without an army of Gromins, usually just Sally. Plus he turned on Damarus, turned on AkaRed and Marv, and eventually, his own companion Sally.

Dude is what evil is supposed to be about!

Really, anything the Zangyack leader does isn't going to feel as powerful as what Basco just did.
And if he does pull something with as much weight as what Basco has done, it just won't feel as powerful, and more like it came out of left field...

There may be 4 episodes left, but after this Basco affair, I don't think the Zangyack can really hold my interest (I'll be sticking for resolution though).

Monkey bits everywhere!

In a show that blows up non-humans daily, that death seemed rather harsh. Basco gets extra "We're all gonna die!" points for this.

Keep re-watching it.

This is probably the best episode of the entire series. It really defines what this entire series has been about - the Gokaigers going from "treasure hunters" to "the 35th Sentai hero team" ... less about finding the ultimate treasure and more about defeating Basco and the Zangyack Empire. Marvelous went from asshole captain (not caring about anyone or anything but the treasure, ie: Basco) to taking in the enemy's partner, knowing it was a trap, but doing it because it was the RIGHT thing ... and then trying to save her before the necklace detonated, and instead injuring himself greatly in the process.

Just wow. And the music ... that score was absolutely amazing. It captured the emotion of what was happening in each scene beautifully, and it sets up what I feel is the TRUE finale of the series with the next episode ... because after Basco, nothing the Zangyack Empire does can really compare to what we've just seen.

Thing are getting real now!

But poor Sally
I'm interested to see how the last leg of Gokaiger Plays out.

I was not expecting Basco to blow up Sally in an attempt to kill Marvelous. That was pretty damn cold-blooded. Easily the second biggest surprise in toku last week (the first being the "Holy fuck!" moment from Garo).

[Kiryu]

My prediction?

Sally isn't really dead. She'll save Marvellous at the last minute, sacrificing herself to kill Basco. But I agree, Bosco is the only person who seemed like he could be a legitiment threat. I know the Zangyaku nearly defeated the Super Sentai and all, and they're trying to hype them up to be this super powerful threat, but I'm not getting that at all.

[Matrixbeast]

I don't want to be callous, but you did see all the bits and pieces of Sally around where the explosion went off, right?
