Recap / Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger E 42 Burai Dies

Go To

With Kouta close to death, Burai decides to spend his remaining hour of life to save the city.

Tropes:

  • All for Nothing: Subverted. Even though they can't use the elixir to save Burai, they're able to save Kouta's life.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: Even though Dora Gansaku was defeated, Bandora's main goal of ensuring Burai's end is accomplished.
  • Behemoth Battle: The Shugozyus' rematch with Dora Gansaku.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Burai's time runs out, but he passes his Zyusouken and Dragon Tector onto Geki before he expires and he rests in peace with the knowledge that Kouta's death was prevented.
  • Book Ends: This three parter begins and ends with Burai riding death's rickshaw to the afterlife, but this time he doesn't spot Kouta on the bench.
  • Call-Back: Burai entrusts Kouta with his medal as Geki did with another hospitalized boy.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Dora Gansaku effortlessly takes on Dragon Ceasar with Burai inside.
  • Deader than Dead: It turns out Burai can't use the elixir since he already died.
  • Monster of the Week: Dora Gansaku.
  • Peaceful in Death: Unlike his recurring nightmare, Burai finds peace with being taken to the land of the dead, especially since Kouta's untimely end was averted.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: Dora Gansaku is defeated, but Burai's time runs out.
  • Shoo Out the Clowns: Due to the solemn nature of the episode, none of the Bandora Gang is seen, with the only antagonist being Grifforzer and Dora Gansaku.
  • Spoiler Title: Combined with Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
  • Take Up My Sword: Burai gives Geki the Dragon Tector and Zyusouken.
  • You Can't Fight Fate: Downplayed. Clotho reveals that Burai's death was preordained, but gives Goushi and Dan the elixir to honor Burai's final request to save Kouta.
  • Your Days Are Numbered: Burai has only an hour of life left before his final battle.
