Episode 27 "Brothers Reunited"
Liu Bei’s original name was Liu Jin and his older brother’s name is Liu Zhang. We learn about his past. Both of them grew up with no parents but were forced to separate after an accident with Li Zhang buying chocolate for his brother. How afterward he got into boxing and before his huge break he was assaulted and his viewpoint on life being a jungle. Liu Bei decides not to want any secret revealed to his brother; he's a Legend hero not knowing of his true identity. All in a ploy to steal Liu Bei’s hero pieces as well as feeding him bad advice by only training him with one technique. Despite this, it is a genuine moment of two lost brothers bonding despite the malicious intent. When it comes time to fight Liu Zhang reveals himself and in a heart wrenching scene Liu Bei continues fighting the way his brother taught and even wins. Despite this Zhang Jue shows up and with his army attacks both of them. Seeing the two brothers work side by side is honestly amazing. However, both being overwhelmed by the mooks and Ma Chao being uncontrollable, Zhuge Liege shows up, and Liu Bei begs him to form a contract with Liu Zhang to finally let him control Ma Chao which he refuses. So Liu Zhang takes his changer and breaks it himself and gives Liu Bei Ma Chao to finally have Zhuge Liang join him. Before he forgets his memories he tells him to find him once this is all over. Easily wiping the floor a new giant mech is created by Zhang Ju and a new Legend machine is born Legend King Majesty however he can’t control it for long. In the end, Liu Zhang leaves town but not before giving Liu Bei the chocolate he always wanted. Honestly, the only problem I have with this episode is that Liu Zhang leaves which is also kind of a problem overall with the show. Certain characters leave too early. Man how good is as to how when my only complaint is that I want to see more of these characters

Okay, so episode 6 is still my favorite singular episode of this show.
But episodes 26 and 27 are BY FAR my favorite two-parter so far! MAN what a ride these two episodes were! Liu Bei's' desire for kinship comes full circle and it fully explained, Liu Zhang is a really likable guy with a great backstory that perfectly contrasts Liu Bei's', both episodes had great comedic moments to balance out the drama, the fights are good and fun to watch, the mooks get their own megazord, and a awesome new megazord combination comes out of Zhuge Liang joining the team! These two episodes have basically everything! And maybe it's just my own personal headcanon, but I feel like, despite Liu Zhang claiming to have trained Liu Bei wrong to deceive him, feel like Liu Zhang wanted his brother to stop him all along, after seeing the life his brother was leading. Just... man, these were a fantastic set. No idea how the show's gonna be able to top this for me.

I feel ya I also agree with that headcanon in due thanks to how the actor plays up both his inner hurt as well as relief once Liu Bei actually did stopped him.
The show has been absoultely amazing with great characters and stories to back it up.

Episode 28 "Matchless Zhuge Liang
Much like episode 22 this is a one-off episode mostly used as a way to show the inner workings and failings of the new dynamic of Liu Bei the Hero pieces and Zhuge Liang. Having much more strict standards in comparison to Xu Shu. His training is to prove how draining carrying 5 pieces is for Liu Bei giving him an ultimatum of putting away 4 of the pieces only using 1 for battle. Naturally, Liu Bei refuses to do any of this and an off-hand sarcastic mention of running 200 times and Liu Bei does exactly that to raise his power. On the flip side there Cao Cao and this episode finally have his first real loss and it’s against Liu Bei the person he dimmed as the weakest. How will their character dynamic shift go forward? Will he still clings to the image of a weak naive Liu Bei or will he be forced to take him more seriously? At the end of the day, Zhuge Liang feels like he understood Xu Shu and Liu Bei better and it seems like Liu Bei has finally begun to let go of his guilt. Also is it just me or does this new Magic Bracelet remind anybody of the Strium Bracelet from Ultraman Ginga S?

I feel like this episode was a great showcase of what Angels and Legend Heroes can do together. It's ideas like these that make me appreciate how innovative some shows can be.
You got Sima Yi creating copies of Cao Cao's tonfa gunblade, Zhuge Liang binding Cao Cao and casting a diamond body spell on Liu Bei, tornados, lightning, etc. Cao Cao does the smart thing and actually hurts the support party member! It all ends with the Magic Brace powerup letting Liu Bei create whatever magic he needs to win and it's awesome. This episode is just awesome. Battles are only going to get more epic from here on out, lemme tell you. |

I was glad to see the show hadn't forgotten about its early episode that warned about Liu Bei spreading himself too thin. Five Hero Pieces is definitely alot more to manage than Two! Also, the green highlights on Zhuge Liang to match Liu Bei? Very nice.

Episode 29 " A Spy from Gangdong"
What I liked about this episode was seeing how kind of petty and vain Zhou is. Up till now seen as cool and collected, her getting heated and peeved by Zhuge Liang is such a unique thing for the show to do. This further complicates the relationship of Liu Bei and Sun Ce with Zhou messing things up and his sister falling in love with Liu Bei. I’m excited about the prospect of the two dojos working together. What kind of stories can well tell and how will shenanigans revolving around these 5 characters go? I’m so glad they’re holding back on Legend King Majesty since Liu Bei still hasn’t achieved enough Hero power to be fully used without a time limit. It is such a nice build-up towards a power-up while also allowing other charters a chance to hold on their own for now.
