Kiramager 44: The Final Battle, Part 1

 

One more episode and we're done, right? Kiramager has managed to distract me away from Kamen Rider Saber for a good reason -- better pacing and not too much is introduced all at once. Moving forward, we're having an episode that nearly resembles the finale arc of Boukenger when the Boukengers felt that Satoru had died. Juuru is assumed dead but no surprise -- he's alive! Naruhisa Arakawa is now taking the mantle after so many episodes new writers are given their chance. Hopefully, these new writers will get head writing projects soon.

The Kiramagers are now discussing how they can take down Emperor Yodon. They have three out of the four Garnerstones. The fourth one is with Emperor Yodon. They all want to fight and put the tears for later. They can't let personal emotions get into the way as the final battle is in place.

Meanwhile, Yodonna receives her final orders from Emperor Yodon. This still verifies that Yodonna, like Shadon, is a separate person and that Emperor Yodon absorbs people into himself for a reason. Yodonna is told to leave behind the Illusia Granterstone. This proves to be fatal as Carantula would later steal it.

The plan was to use the Reversia Granterstone to reverse Emperor Yodon to his host body Yodonna. The use of the Energia was to give King Oradin a boost. Destoria would be used to try and destroy Yodonna (who gets temporarily frozen, Han Solo style). However, the plan doesn't work out for long revealing that Emperor Yodon is more than prepared.

I find this to no surprise that Emperor Yodon would get rid of a host body when it's convenient. So much for saying he'd avenge Shadon huh? Yodonna is being gotten rid of so Emperor Yodon can emerge as the dominant thought. TBH, I don't feel a bit sorry for Yodonna here since she's such a bitch. 

The Kiramagers do have Kiramei Silver helping out but he's not fully recovered. I do feel that the situation is getting tense. 

The Kiramei Engines decide to form Kirameizin without the pilots. I do find it logically baffling in some season where the machines have their own thought yet they allow the rangers to pilot them. For example, Daizyujin in Zyuranger is a sentient being yet the rangers all pilot him. Later seasons have sentient mecha yet why are the rangers piloting them? Is it a partnership or what? You know superhero logic is baffling, right?

Just then Juuru arrives much to the surprise of the others. I don't blame the Kiramagers for thinking Juuru had died. I would be if I were in their shoes. Carantula arrives and gives up the Illusia Granterstone. I guess that encounter with Juuru caused Carantula to be in this spot. Hopefully, we don't get an inconvenient plot twist. =P

Next week is the final battle already. Granted, everybody got their flowers already so it's best to hope that it's going to be a good one.
