Kiramager, huh?
Hard to deny some of the flaws – there’s areas the imagination aspect could have been stronger, royalty is never fantastic, and of course Garza’s ending failed to stick the landing. I think if he had been the final boss we could be looking at one of the best Sentais ever here, and I'll always say that's the biggest problem Kiramager has. I keep thinking about Fish's wish for a world where Garza was the final boss and how that would have brought all the season's themes full circle, and compared to Emperor Yodon himself? Yeah, it's hard to deny. It's a shame really. All of which is to say… fuck me those are minor quibbles against an INCREDIBLE season! I haven’t felt so invested in and excited about a Sentai in a while; every character is stunning, it goes out of its way every other episode to do something completely wild and unexpected and anti-tropey of the franchise and pulls it off so so well, the direction is BRILLIANT, I just… it uses such a simple setting to dazzle and shine in every which way. In many ways it feels like they took the very specific Showa era of Sentai and revived that for the modern age, and I can hardly think of a better way to start off its 45th anniversary. Something I always think about with Kiramager that to me sums up what I feel about this show? The episode they got the Kiramei arrow. Usually an episode about limits - ESPECIALLY in toku - will have the characters surpassing those limits with determination and willpower to get their new power-up. And I’m cool with it! If I wasn’t I probably wouldn’t be into this franchise; it’s a great awesome statement of intent. But it just makes Kiramager all the more special when their lesson is that surpassing your limits is not a good thing and will burn you out and hurt you, and to that end they give the power-up a time limit and that’s the lesson here. The inspiration to know your limits, and that everyone has them and that it’s fine to have them. That’s the sort of subversion Kiramager always went for and it’s always to the end of a wonderful lesson, and that’s why I love this show There’s some issues to be sure, but… Kiramager was so special to me. I’m so glad I watched that. |
It was a fun show. Probably my favorite Sentai since Zyuohger.
Some things could've been handled better, especially during the final stretch, but I still enjoyed watching it. |

I feel lord garza should be the unredeemable villain because the last 2 episodes doesn't feel like there was any personal or emotional stake. I was expecting an epic duke out with super red vs lord garza. Even ryusoulger despite being a poorly written series with the sacrifice at the end and stakes make the final battle more entertaining. I was expecting the orange kiramei stone to shatter and mabushina must give up her dream to revive her home world to save earth. The whole monologue chant cheering with Yodon just standing there felt so off. Everyone gets a happy ending even the queen is back. I swore they did another fake out again with Yodon emperor pinned by all 6 kiramager in magazine scans, but it never happened. The same with 02 vs arc1 in last year kamen rider series. A lot of last minute change possibly like how decade film a fake trailer for his MovieSz a decade agox. Yodonna will be retuning as well . her movie possibly take place before ending of the series like lupinranger vs. The minjo dream movie starring dan mitsu ft express also confirm to take place very early on in kiramager like a suppose summer movie according to the teaser clip from this finale. |

I'm expecting a lot of non red jokes and puns for zenkaiger. I'm not sure if the movie act as a prologue that Segway in to the series or not anymore judging from preview. Maybe zenkaiger will continue the trend of non combining mecha. It would make sense to do an ultimate cluster brick if there's only one guy piloting unless the 6th ranger is not another mecha robo |

That was the route they should’ve taken IMO, drop the whole revival of Yodon and instead focus on the event that did make Garza change towards evil and have the fight more mentally than in reality. Let Juuru use that link he found to Garza to help him understand his own feelings. Or maybe something like Ultraman Geed's ending could've been better, where we can understand and sympathize with the villain and have the protagonist forgive him but don’t actually redeem the bad guy. |
