I adore that Kaito immediately thought to ask for Magine's help picking a place to look for his mom. Like, I don't even think he believed that would work, I'm pretty sure he was just being a good friend there, and wanted to give her a chance to do her thing. And of course, I am
very obviously
going to be in favor of any chance Magine gets to be in the spotlight.
She's great in this one, too! I'm super glad Magine got to go on the big world-hopping adventure with everyone instead of staying at home, and I bet everyone is glad too, because she even ends up playing a massive part in resolving the conflict here, saving a good couple dozen worlds in the process! Plus, you know, the bit where she's so obsessively focused on her fortune telling that she doesn't even leave the ship when it makes its first stop is hilarious. For some reason, I just find it super endearing seeing someone with that level of passion for such a particular interest.
...Now what was I here to talk about again? Oh, yeah, I mean, there was a whole episode of Zenkaiger, too, which was also pretty cool.
In all seriousness, this
is
another good one. It's got an absolutely golden premise right off the bat, which is "hey, so what the heck do worlds themed around random concepts actually
look
like, anyway?" It's been nothing more than a simple plot device to give the monsters their themes while also implying the scope of the bad guys' evil schemes, but finally, we get a clear answer to that question. The answer apparently being "like our world, but themed around a random concept." Good thing Vroom didn't come along, lest he have to grapple with a revelation
that
crazy!
Okay, I'm kidding around again; this was quite fun. Everything is handled in an appropriately Zenkaiger kinda way here. It's a silly show doing a silly episode about one of its silly gimmicks, and the elaboration it does on that gimmick is also silly. It's even budget-conscious, as well, because they just meet the same one guy a bunch of times and that's your entire look into each world's culture. Cultures that for all we know
could
have their own deep and interesting histories, but that's *so* not what Zenkaiger cares about.
No, Zenkaiger cares about doing fun silly things with its goofy cast, and being way smarter than you'd expect about it, both of which this episode nails. I mentioned up top how Kaito goes out of his way to indulge Magine, which is sort of impressive when you'd think he'd be completely focused on getting his mom back, and that's sort of the whole core of why this one turned out great? It's a perfect display of Kaito's bottomless optimism, and I love how the true point of the premise ends up being "look at all the good the Zenkaigers have done over the past six months." All these absurd worlds are only getting along fine now because these five unlikely heroes and their pirate friend have been sticking it to the forces of evil for so long, and it was sweet of Kaito to stop and take some joy in that, even with so much else that has to be on his mind. It pays off in the climax, too, where actually finding his mom gets put on hold in favor of protecting the worlds all over again.
It's just a
nice
episode, you know? Zox is getting along with everyone... heck, even
Stacey
is sneakily trying to help out Yatsude the whole time! Just a whole lot of full power kindness here, and I dig it!
