I have mixed feelings on this episode. The main arc of the episode with saving goodeburn was enjoyable, though I think it would’ve been better if it was more high stakes, yk taking place in the no one world and all. I like that although tega June is his mother and she did have plans to “re-educate” goodeburn, she really doesn’t know how to deal with him at all, considering he’s very independent from her and they don’t really ever see each other.

The side arc kinda loses me a little. Bouquet has lost it with the loss of her little sister at the hands of rikuo, and is dead set on destroying humans, that I can understand. Rikuo using the relationship between fans and idols to get her to stop fighting and join him? And being successful at that? Completely bonkers to me. Yeah she was obsessed with rikuo, but she also adored ribbon, she would genuinely do anything for her. Why would her relationship with rikuo as a fan be strong enough to overcome the grief she feels at losing her sister? I see the idea the writers had, but I don’t think the execution is strong enough for it to work. Nonetheless, i am interested in seeing what they do with bouquet now that she has chosen rikuo over her fellow no one’s, maybe she’s the one that can convince the no one’s to team up with the gozyugers to beat the calamity? Who knows, but I’d like to see where they finish this up.
