You... I like you.
It's Tanabata and all of us have our own wishes. This is when the MOTW comes in, he fulfills the wish but in exchange he will get someone's life energy until s/he dies! All of the Kyoryugers signed his wish cards except for King as his wish is to meet his father again. Will he finally meet his father again after all these years?
It's another episode focused on King and this time around, it is about his desire to meet his father again, something that was partly brought up in the
2nd part of the KyoryuGrey arc. Unlike the said episode wherein he just met him in an illusion, this time around he meets him for real and by the looks of it, he even advanced the plot for a bit. But before talking about it, let's first talk about the Tanabata stuff.
The wishes of our heroes for Tanabata less King's are more on the self part. One thing I notice about their wishes is that they are something an average kid will ask in Tanabata and not something an adult or a teenager will ask... except for Ian and Nossan's since their wishes is something I expect them to wish. I mean, Utchy wishing for ice cream? I know he likes it but man, I was expecting something more than that! But hey, that's his wish and what's more, we learned that Ramirez is quite a bro in a way that he just left Belgium just to give them ice cream!
Because of their wishes getting fulfilled one by one, the number of active members of the team decreased, giving our heroes a hard time facing an enemy that they can easily defeat if they are together. With only a few rangers to handle him, the task of looking for the MOTW becomes tougher. This is when King starts to shine on his own. After Nossan's wish of having girls flock around him because hey, he is near in his 30's and needs to settle down, he used this opportunity to find the MOTW thanks to Nossan's wish card flying towards him.
With only King facing Canderrilla, Luckyuro and the MOTW, he is overpowered by this group and to make matters worse, he only has till dawn to save everyone! This is when King's dad comes in and did something badass. He just uses some cool spirit punch move then King performs a punch move to destroy the container where the cards are! After this, we have a scene featuring King's dad talking to him. The scene was just okay, it's not really emotional but the look on King's face after seeing his father is really priceless. King is like a kid receiving a really cool Christmas from someone he didn't expect that will give something to him.
More on the meeting, I can't help but notice that his teammates can't see King's dad. What's more is that later in the episode, we see him meet Torin and hand him a bag filled with items that might be relevant in later episodes. Considering that there are hints that King's dad is walking the same path like he is, guess you can theorize that King's dad is either a Kyoryuger or a guy related to these electric dinosaurs some point in his life considering his connection with Torin. Because we only have vague clues about their relationship, guess I should stop overthinking about it for now.
The final fight in this episode is really cool; aside that we see Fang Shot and Lanshield Slasher in again, the MOTW's move set is really creative. Using his own wish making powers in battle is really interesting and the drawback in using it made sense overall. As for the giant fight, aside from Utchy aiding them while Kyoryuzin Kung-Fu is fighting in the ground, there is nothing worth talking about. Seriously, if the two combined to form Raiden Kyoryuzin Kung-Fu or something, then I will become much more interested in the giant fights.
At the end, King got his wish of meeting his father in Tanabata, Torin has a bag filled with future plot development related to King's dad and that King's friends are wondering why he is really happy, causing me to theorize that King's dad is dead and that he is now a spirit that will aid the Kyoryugers later in the series. By aide, I mean, he is a Kyoryuger.
