| DJ's character story with young Muteki, is he a friend forgotten in the face of evil? In other cases, Theo's plan is coming along strong, and any hope left is pinned on both Sarah and her crew with Suteking, the arcade kids piloting an UFO and winging it like an arcade game, as well as DJ (resurrected by Vivi) getting Muteki back. Definitely a goofy entrance that has some charm, especially with Suteking. The main entrance with Aurora and Aida combining together to create her idol self, plus Vivi fully in her Octian state, her song reminds me of the old 80s charm that is captured brillantly. But still, Theo has the advantage, and while Aida/Aurora reverts to her android self, the final stage of Theo as Muteking Black vs. Muteking will be the final kicker. Well, hoping for good things for the finale next week. |

| I thought making Muteki and DJ meet as kids was unnecessary. It doesn't matter if Muteki was nice to him when everyone else wasn't; he's already facing DJ at his absolute worst and with all cards on the table, and he still didn't bat an eye. It's this weird aspect out of the show, everyone just has to be connected by the past and they just conveniently forget about it until it's relevant to the plot. It's a good episode, but it kind of exposes how superfluous a lot of the cast were. Like you could cut out the fat guy and his friend/brother/lover, and almost nothing would change. But on the other hand, it also highlights how funny Suteking is, since he's able to shine brighter than everyone around him. |
| So DJ finally came back to his senses after realizing that him and Muteki were childhood friends. DJ managed to save Muteki from becoming a pool of ink crating a light of positive energy. That light allowed Aida to merge with Aurora to become Aida's true self that wanted to sing the song she wanted. Adia's singing was able to bring Neo San Francisco back to life. Meanwhile, Sarah and George managed to place the makeshift antenna and take over the control tower and meetup with Suteking and the others. Vivy's kids also help out by flying UFO ship near the main tower. Things seem to be going well, but CEO seem to have finished off Vivy and Aida for good. CEO also had a backup plan and that was to transform into Muteking Black with the power of negative octopus cells setting the stage for the final boss battle. I thought CEO was going to transform into an ugly monster, but Muteking Black looks cool. The soundtrack continues to be amazing. Can't wait for the final episode. |

| Was Vivi sucking the evil ink out of DJ? 1980s OP plays in the flash back when Muteki presumably visited his grandma Sarah in Neo San Francisco with his mother and met DJ for the first time. The mirror ball Vivy left behind for the kids became a flying saucer (perhaps this is the spacecraft Vivy came to Earth in). Aida finally achieved her dream of becoming an idol (got Showa-era vibes from her performance. Very similar to the likes of Seiko Matsuda, Mari Iijima etc. though the bright colour pallete is very Heisei Bubblegum pop). But her performance is sadly interrupted by CEO. Dyring in Muteki's arms she projects her memories of him to the Plastic Love instrumental (was she doing this ironically to say that her love wasn't artificial?). The mysterious Suteking takes down the grunts with inspiration from Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do (forgetting defence because he didn't have the volume on it lol) CEO turns into a evil version of the hero, Muteking Black (I think this is the dark figure in the key visual.) |

| Real person dying right next to you but you go to the android. Lol Aight. That was a cute, very 80's idol performance by Aida before ripperoni pepperoni time. I hope the arcade kidos get more time to shine! I'm glad that DJ is back-- lol at what seems like Vivi sucking whatever out of him-- but like ahhh so I guess that's why DJ was trying to find Muteki specifically. But with how much DJ was saying he was more like a father figure I totally thought he was older-- not just by a few years or so, but I guess I just assumed. I guess it all makes sense now. Also, I know they already showed them, but what cute kids they were. ;_; |
