Kiramager 43: A Childhood Revealed

Last week's Kiramager reveals that the child Juuru saw in his dreams wasn't Oradin but GARZA. There's a plot twist that might not be very good. With two more episodes to go - the show really is forced to rush things up due to the delay it hit during the Legacy Virus pandemic. 

The Kiramagers now plan to rescue King Oradin from Yodonheim but how. Turns out that Takamichi has captured Carantula who can open a portal to Yodonheim. 

Garza explains three people he wants to get rid of. The first is Oradin, the second is Takamichi, and the third is Juuru. Garza is at the moment still operating within Yodon's body.

Garza tries to feed his older brother Ordain to some giant monster. I do find the design kind of a cheap knock-off from Hollywood horror films. Then again, it's Toku so it's passable. Though it could've still scared a child if you ask me!

Carantula is forced to open the portal. Carantula later escapes. Yodonheim is really THAT stinky. I'm just reminded of those toxic dungeons in Dragon Quest looking at this scene. The Kiramagers see King Oradin fending off for his life. I really find

Just then, Garza appears and tries to finish off the Graduel with Kiramei Silver. However, this would be interrupted due to other affairs. 

Kiramei Red explains to King Oradin about the past. King Oradin would allow himself to be swallowed (but survives). Kiramei Red is later brought to some shadow dimension by Garza himself. 

Just then a trip to Garza's memories reveal one thing. Garza didn't betray King Oradin or become evil at his own free will. So much of Garza's actions are a result of this corruption! Garza was once an agent of good but was corrupted by none other than Emperor Yodon. Emperor Yodon used Garza to conquer Crystalia. 

 

Try not to cry. I didn't cry. However, children MAY cry. Garza gets infuriated at how Emperor Yodon manipulated him the whole time. I'm reminded of how Rie in Jetman soon decided to strike Radiguet back, only to get fatally wounded. In this case, we see Garza destroyed by Emperor Yodon. Emperor Yodon dissolves the Garza mask (but still keeps the Yodonna mask) before that.

Juuru falls into the abyss. King Oradin appears in his bird form and they try to rescue him but fail. Okay, I'm just reminded of that Boukenger episode in the finale arc - the one where Satoru seemingly dies and the others are forced to fight without him. 

Next week will begin the two-parter final battle. I really can't wait to see how Kiramager will end.
