Awesome / Mashin Sentai Kiramager

General

• The Mashins getting a greater amount of focus due to actively helping out in more than just the standard mech fight.
• Juru's leadership allows the team to be stronger because he allows them to fight at their best thanks to his advice, while still criticizing them if necessary. He may be an awkward dork, but he's certainly shaping up to be a great leader.

Series

Episode ZERO

• King Oradin's short but awesome battle. When the throne room is stormed (meaning, of course, that the bad guys had to get through any guards, defenses, etc.) Oradin declares that he'll protect the kingdom even if he's the last one standing, and proceeds to lay waste to the foot soldiers and even Crantula, one of the major enemy generals himself! If not for his brother backstabbing him just as he was about to finish Crantula off, he would have greatly crippled the Yodonheim Empire.
• Even if it was a simulation, it was awesome to see the four Kiramagers take on the grunts without problems. What makes it ever more awesome is that it was the audience's first glimpse into their distinct fighting styles - something that would carry on throughout the show.

Episode 1: The Mashins are Born!

• It's quite a special accomplishment that Juru is able to dodge the grunt's attacks and survived the battle just to draw the four rangers.
• Juru getting the willpower to save his classmates thanks to some inspiration from Fire and his drawings.
• Juru transforming the Kiramai Stones to Mashins. For an added bonus, Juru actually takes the time to consider what each Kiramager is good at in order to match their Mashin partner - except for Tametomo hilariously enough.
• The Kiramagers and Mashins working together seamlessly to take down Faucet Hildon with ease. Their finisher invokes Shinkenger, with Fire launching the other Mashins into the Jamen Beast.

Episode 2: Proof of a Leader

• The debut of both Sky Mage and Land Mage.
• Juru proving his leadership skills by giving Sena advice rather than forcing her to fight.
• Sena (the real Sena to be precise) coming in the nick of time to beat the MOTW.

Episode 3: The Vice Guy! No Advice Needed

• Juru convincing Shiguru to stand down with some good ol' reenacting of his samurai drama. Doubles as both a Funny and a Heartwarming moment.
• The Kiramagers have literally the biggest tug-of-war in order to get Vise Jamen's stick to free Shiguru from its vice and they win.
• After the vice from his head is removed, Shiguru gives the Vice Jamen its weapon back and defeats it one on one.
• After both Land Mage and Sky Mage were overpowerd by Vice Shellga, they merge together into Kiramaizin. Now with all five Mashins and Kiramagers together, the Jamen Beast stands absolutely zero chance against its opponent.

Episode 4: Princess of the Lost Kingdom

• Juru realizing that Galza was lying to Mabushina about being brainwashed through the sound Crystalians made when laughing and the drawings he made of his brothers murder which he saw through his dreams.
• Galza reveals to Mabushina that her father is truly dead. Juru calls him unforgivable for toying with her feelings. He then manages to hold his own against Galza, one of Yodonheim's top generals, who was forced to take the fight a bit more seriously. They then show an amazing fight scene with Juru dodging several of Galza's swordbeams while attacking him. Despite losing in the end, Juru was still able to put up a good fight.
• Galza then shows off Mashin Jouki's transformation into Smog Steamer who is able to overpower Kiramaizin with ease. It then destroys Paleolith Basra with a single hit for interrupting their fight.

Episode 5: Shovellow Unleashed!

• Tametomo coming up with a whole plan in order to get Shovellow off his high horse by using some simple camera tricks and some good ol' strong-arming of the MOTW.
• Despite more or less being infants by Mashin standards, the Shovellow Corps come to Kiramaizin's rescue when it faces trouble against Joystick Ligany.

Episode 6: Suddenly Turning 5 Years Old

• Sayo effortlessly flipping over Shiguru in the beginning of the episode. Doubles as a Funny moment.
• Despite being reduced to mentally being 5 years old through a case of Easy Amnesia. Sayo manages to find the will to protect people and transform. She then pilots Helico and saves everyone inside Cloud Hildon.

Episode 8: Express Lightning

• Juru creating Mashin Express out of the White Kiramai Stone and using it to hijack Smog Jouki and force a fusion between them to form King Express.
• Juru in complete control of King Express completely overwhelms Cold Hot Dagames. Even when Galza briefly takes back control of the Smog Jouki part and tries to use its Breath Weapon on Juru, Juru immediately defuses which causes it to hit the Dagames instead. Juru even gave him a cheerfully sarcastic "Thank You" for the attack. He then immediately reforms King Express and finshes the Dagames off.
  • Express has incredible speed and agility, even being able to plant its saw into the ground and perform a speedy spinning kick on the monster.

Episode 9: This is My Youthful Path of Karuta

• Hyakunin Isshu Jamen challenges Sena to a game of Yodon Hyakunin Isshu. The cards are all rigged so that only the Jamenshi would win, but Sena manages to beat him by merely following his movements. Who knew karuta could end up being so awesome?
• Sena using King Express marvelously, making quick work of Heiankyo Basura without breaking a sweat.

Episode 10: The Girl Who Chases After Shiguru

• Shiguru flawlessly cutting off the daikon from Mabushina's head without hurting Sayo. To elaborate on this, he was controlling his Kiramental to make his sword retract the exact moment it was about to hit Sayo.
• Shiguru getting inspiration from his sandwich, along with his training from earlier to cut off the MOTW from Iyo without hurting her. The awesome part about it? He controlled his Kiramental to make the middle of his sword disappear the exact moment it was about to hit Iyo. Shiguru may be a Butt-Monkey, but he's the Kiramager's ace for a reason.
• Sayo getting her own "Hirameiking!" moment to split Kiramaizin apart (thanks to Shiguru's attack) to make Smog Jouki's Burn Blacker hit Stage Shellga, allowing them to finish it off with Kiramaizin's Kiramai Dynamic.

Episode 11: Time is Looping

• Tametomo once again showing off his Genre Savvy by quickly figuring out that he was in a "Groundhog Day" Loop pretty early on.
• How Tametomo defeats Reset Button Jamen is actually pretty damn genius. Instead of facing the MOTW head-on, he instead keeps on shooting the reset button until the MOTW mentally breaks from all of the loops, akin to Doctor Strange. (Hell, it takes Galza to finally defeat him, and that was only after the Jamenshi went mad.) To reiterate, Tametomo broke Reset Button Jamen.
• The video gaming tournament also deserves a mention - Yojiro accused Tametomo of merely phoning it in the whole time, despite Yojiro losing to him anyway. The moment Tametomo switches to his main and goes all in, Yojiro is crushed.
• Without Smog Jouki, the Kiramagers decide to use Mashin Express as a surfboard to defeat Hassha Button Ligany before it can ever press its button.

Episode 12: Wonder Drill Boy

• Takamichi proving that he is Smarter Than He Looks by instantly recognizing the Monstone, which also provides a subtle bit of Foreshadowing to his true nature.
• Everything about Takamichi's battle with Meteorite Jamen:
  • He comes on the battlefield flying with his Shiny Breaker, landing with grace and taking out the Jamenshi at the same time thanks to his still-flying weapon.
  • Before he transforms, he tells the others to step aside. When you pay attention to his language, he calls them "kouhai-shokun" ^note  roughly meaning "junior" . It's a subtle MOA that not only established how confident he is, but also provides another bit of Foreshadowing to his real nature.
  • Meteorite Jamen tries to take care of Takamichi by deploying a Bechat to crush him with a truck. That obviously does not work, as he not only stopping the truck, but doing it with utter style as he stopped it with his legs thanks to another construction vehicle nearby. Also counts as a Funny moment as it not-so-subtly replicates this.
  • He makes quick work of the Bechats by driving his Shiny Breaker in the ground, allowing the weapon to do most of the work.
  • To say that he curb-stomps Meteorite Jamen would be an understatement. Using his Shiny Breaker as both an offensive and defensive weapon, he deflects the MOTW's attacks with ease. He then goes Bare-Fisted Monk for a short bit, proving that he doesn't need a weapon to kick ass. Then after that, he thwarts the Jamenshi's meteorite attack by quickly hitting him with a glorious Finishing Move titled Shining Beam Attack, which is a massive and very shiny silver beam that makes the MOTW go up in an epic explosion.
• A subtle one when it comes to Sayo's foot. Despite being rightfully skeptical about the medicine Takamichi used, her foot is all better by the end of the episode.

Episode 13: Great Underground War

• Takamichi pulling off two Big Damn Heroes on the spot, despite being apparently obsessed with treasure hunting.
• Juru immediately picking up on the fact that Takamichi's obsession is a facade, promptly calling him out for it when he gets the chance.
• With three drills, four crawler tracks, a rotating wheelhouse, and two grabber arms, and stated to go at 100 meters a minute, Super Heavy Machine Drijan easily takes on Haejigoku Shellga with ease before Galza comes into the picture.
• Land Mage certainly isn't slacking in the awesome department as it managed to take on and destroy Haejigoku Shellga without a whole lot help when Takamichi takes on Galza.

Episode 14: The Lonely Ace

• Takamichi effortlessly stopping SL Jamen with his Super-Strength. Then he quickly goes Bare-Fisted Monk on the Jamenshi before pulling out his Shiny Breaker to try and destroy the MOTW without much help. He failed, but you got to give major props to the dude for nearly pulling it off.
• The remaining Kiramagers calling upon their respective Mashins to help out Takamichi while they handle SL Jamen.
• Duston quickly proving his worth to Takamichi by quickly compressing the rubble at the blink of an eye. Mind you, he was called useless by Takamichi in the beginning of the episode.
  • This is also one for Juru as well, as he proves to Takamichi that he certainly has the guts and the skill to be a leader in his eyes. Crosses over with Heartwarming.
• The Kiramagers (sans Takamichi) pulling off their own "Goranger Storm" with the rubble that Duston collected, allowing them to block off his top so that he won't produce any more smog.
  • Huge props has to go to the production team for combining CGI and practical effects in a way that looks both nearly effortless and awesome.
• Takamichi immediately getting a hold of King Express and throwing SL Jamen out of the mecha.
• The full six working together flawlessly to defeat SL Jamen and Diesel Basra once Takamichi realizes that his I Work Alone mindset is useless in the battle against Yodonheim.
• In the mech battle, we have the Kiramagers using Duston, who's currently a vacuum cleaner, to suck up Diesel Locomotive Basra's attacks before quickly taking it down.

Episode 15: Listen, The Voice of Takamichi

• Shiguru gets to show off his Genius Bruiser skills by coming up with a plan to take down Carantula on the fly by using his knowledge of Takamichi's telepathy and his observations regarding Mabushina.
• Here we get the first true instance of Drijan and Kiramazin working together and it is glorious. With Drijan flinging back Ring Toss Hildon's rings back at it, the Kiramagers utilize Duston to suck the Jamen Beast right at them, allowing Kiramazin Express to destroy it with ease.

Episode 16: Marshmallow Royale

• Tametomo once again showing off why he's The Smart Guy of the team by getting inspiration from the frozen marshmallows to create an ice bullet, courtesy of Muryo.
• Sena dodging all of the falling rubble with her speed and getting the marshmallows they made in one fell swoop.
• Mashin Magellan quickly showing off what he can do by blasting his cement mixture on Hassha Ligany's missiles before the Jamen Beast can actually launch them.
• We have an epic dual fight with the Kiramazin taking on Hassha Ligany while Takamichi takes on Marshmellow Jamen, all set to Psychic Lover's Kiramai Action.
  • Takamichi epically proves that he's functioning at 100% by taking down Marshmallow Jamen with ease by himself, thanks in part to Tametomo's ice bullet from before.
  • Kiramazin Magellan takes on Hassha Ligany Dekaranger-style, defeating the Jamen Beast with an epic Dekaranger Robo-esque Finishing Move.

Episode 17: The Mansion's Rare Stone

• Once again, we have Tametomo proving why he's The Smart Guy by Spotting the Thread on Whac-A-Mole Jamenshi's mask, exploiting his weakness by utterly crushing the Mole Heads. Then he instantly destroys the Jamenshi with the single blast from the Kiramai Buster. On top of that, he was doing all of this after being poisoned by a Stunner Bechat. (Granted he was able to heal himself with the Kiramai Changer but still.)
• Here we have the marvelous debut of GigantDriller, which is so badass, Kiramazin just has to sit down and take in all of the action.
  • Takamichi being driven to save Mabushina is what ultimately transforms him into the Shining Kiramai Stone needed to form GigantDriller. From there, GigantDriller delivers an epic Curb-Stomp Battle to Hammer Basra, finishing it off with a move that's not unlike a Rider Kick, defeating it once and for all. Crosses over with Heartwarming.

Episode 18: Darkness

• Juru using Destoria to destroy the Monstone in Takamichi without hesitation, all because of some advice given to him by Oradin. Even though there wasn't any sure way to know if using its power would lead to negative consequences, the fact that he was willing to go head on without a surefire answer is just utterly stunning.
• The exact moment Takamichi rejoins the others, they unleash an epic combined Finishing Move that utterly stuns Galza, forcing his hand. Damn.
• The mech battle has Juru forming King Express to keep Galza at bay, allowing GigantDriller to combine with the Shovellow Corps (including Shovellow himself!) to take down the Jakku Monstone. The Finishing Move has all of the Shovellow Corps getting an attack on the Monstone before blasting it to pieces.

Episode 19: Partner

• After some encouragement from their partners, the Mashins kick ass, despite the "Freaky Friday" Flip.
  • Fire beats up some Bechats on his own, moving in Juru's body with ease despite being pretty incapable of using it in the beginning.
  • After Shiguru advises him to chill out and breathe, Jetter slashes through the Bechats without breaking a sweat.
  • Casually dodging the mooks with his newly spry body, Shovellow casually shoots down the Bechats no problem.
  • Invoking Kagura, Helico spins her way through the Bechats, incorporating a little bit of Sayo's prowess in aikido along with that.
  • Getting out of his slump thanks to Sena's "daisuki", Mach has probably one of the most badass takedowns in the episode alone - combining speed with swordplay to utterly kick Bechat ass.
  • Then, all five of them do a combined attack that incorporates the skills that they've gained in their partners' bodies, incapacitating Moving-Out Jamen flawlessly.
• Don't think that Kiramazin's left out of this. With the Mashins gaining a massive amount of power with their partners' encouragement, the Kiramagers-as-Kiramazin break out of the Jamen Beast's chains and take down Homeowner's Loan Dagameth at an astonishing speed.
• Don't think we haven't left the actors out of this. They all adjusted their acting in the limited scenes we had with the Mashins-as-Kiramagers and they do a pretty fine job of making us believe that it's really the Mashins that are in their bodies. Not to mention, they were pulling off triple-duty this episode: voicing their characters as both Mashin and Kiramager, as well as having to act out as them out-of-suit. Massive props.

Episode 20: Dangerous Pair

• Juru and Kakihara working completely in-sync to take the Jamenshi down. What's even better is that the whole plan was Kakihara's. By using her two-faced personality as inspiration, Juru and Kakihara were able to distract Glue Jamen long enough for Takamichi and Tametomo to create a weapon out of the stuff that Glue Jamen threw at them.
• Takamichi and Tametomo instantly destroying the MOTW with the hammer of things that the Jamenshi glued.
• The Kiramagers quickly taking down the Jamen Beast with nothing more than a makeshift combination between Gigant Driller and Kiramazin.

Episode 21: Fishing, Sometimes A Master

• Oradin, Mabuyuine, and Takamichi epically taking down Numajo's forces without breaking a sweat.
• Even when Numajo gives him trouble thanks to her sister Minjo, Oradin slashes her down with a few quick strokes.
• Shiguru using his deduction skills to quickly figure out how Fishing Rod Jamen is using Reversia to fish out people, thanks to the weather and a poster from August 30th.
• Shiguru conjuring up a whip from his Kiramental to fish out Reversia, all the while dropping a shameless plug to his upcoming movie that somehow still manages to be cool.
• A villainous one for Motorboat Basra. Strong and lighting fast, it takes out Kiramazin without a sweat, effortlessly stomping on it when the mecha goes down.
• Galza definitely deserves one here. By manipulating Takamichi to get the Kanaema Stones by himself, he drove away the Kiramager out of Crystallia long enough for Yodonheim to take over Crystallia.

Episode 22: Are You Prepared? The Witch is There!

• Sayo keeping up with Motorboat Basra with Mashin Express. She was losing, but she wasn't about to give up that fight.
• Juru deciding to use his sword to get Numajo's poison instead of getting the cup like they wanted by goading her into shooting him. That takes some serious guts, especially with the high risk associated with Numajo's poison.
• As soon as Mashin Zabyun comes on to the field, the tide instantly turns their favor. Forming King Express Zabyun with Mashin Express, the mecha hits the Jamen Beast with a barrage of attacks before ultimately ending it with the Zabyun Megalo Blaster. Also notable is the fact that it isn't just Juru in King Express, but Juru and Sayo.

Episode 23: Mabushina's Mother

• Mabushina gathering all of the courage in her body to sing and dance in front of her mom to distract her. Not only that, it gives the Kiramagers enough of a distraction to take on the Jamenshi. Keep in mind, Mabushina was shown to be a bit of a Nervous Wreck when she was told to perform in front of mom.
• Inspired by Mabushina's performance, Mabuyuine instantly bursts into action by asking Takamichi to use her to laser through Safe Jamen's safe. To say that it works would be a giant understatement.
• Juru headshotting the MOTW.

Episode 24: Let's Start a Band

• Crossing over with Heartwarming, the Kiramagers (sans Takamichi) using Yukiya's song to cancel out Speaker Jamen, allowing Takamichi to finish him off.
• Yukiya jumping out of Speaker Jamen when he hears his song playing through sheer willpower. Crosses over with Heartwarming.
• Mashin Zabyun and Kiramazin going all Guns Akimbo on Jukebox Hildon before finishing it off with a lance attack. It was brief, but it was sure awesome.

Episode 25: That Cute Shrine Maiden

• A villainous one for Yodonna, who disguised herself as Shuka to bypass the Kiramagers. She wipes the floor from the Kiramagers quite easily with her powered-up Bechats and changes the game when she reveals her plan to open up a wormhole between Yodonheim and Earth by blowing up the mountain region due to its power.
• In fact, her whole entire appearance is this. Coming as both a shock to the Kiramagers and Yodonheim, she wastes no time establishing her ground as a powerful general and Emperor Yodon's personal assistant, making it clear to both sides that she is a take-no-prisoners villain that should be taken seriously.

Episode 26: Make it an Arrow Weapon

• At the cost of his own well-being, Takamichi drilling his way through the Monstone to get Energia.
• The debut of the Kiraful Go Arrow and the Go Kiramagers. With Juru imposing a time limit of 100 seconds, the others each get a turn in using the Kiraful Go Arrow to blast through the Bechats and Bomb Jamen clones with ease.
• Just when Yodonna thinks that she's won... Takamichi comes in clutch with a "Wonder Roadblock", easily blasting through the last Bomb Jamen and getting the bomb in time.
• Tametomo proving to Yodonna that through The Power of Friendship, they won against her and her schemes despite getting beat mercilessly by her powered-up Bechats and Bomb Jamens.

Episode 27: Great Pinch Runner

• Even after twelve years, Miki still hasn't lost her touch, being able to fend off Galza for a time.
• Natsume simply dancing her way through the Jamenshi's attacks, making it clear that she hasn't lost her touch either.
• With the Kiraful Go-Arrow glued on to a bike, Juru simply asks for Natsume to bring the bike towards him. Then they all (sans Takamichi) transform into the Go-Kiramagers and infuse Juru with their Kiramental, with Juru quickly fending off the Jamenshi in no time.
• Sena easily getting Miki's message, going into the shade and throwing off the bomb no problem after Superglue Jamen was done for.
• Sena quickly fending off Yodonna and Galza by transforming into her Go-Kiramager form and showing off her new Finishing Move: Lighting Meteor. Even with Galza deflecting some of the attack, it was still enough to make the Yodon generals retreat.
• Crossing over with Funny: Mach literally coming out of nowhere, bursting into flames, and singlehandedly defeating the Jamen Beast. All out of pure jealousy. Even Zabyun lampshades it.

Episode 28: Crying Shiguru

• Everything about The Oner's composition, making it seem like one take through a few clever cuts and camera tricks. Because of its jaw-dropping composition, it is often regarded as the series' Signature Scene.
• Shiguru revealing that he pulled off a massive Batman Gambit all the way back from him and Juru's manzai routine to draw out Hakobu's emotions by replicating the same scene he was practicing in the beginning. All of this was possible because Shiguru remembered Takamichi's story about Hakobu crying for Oradin out of sympathy, deciding to try and do the same.

Episode 29: The Illusionary Atamald

• Stuck on what to do, Juru simply decides to just draw the keyhole at one of the doors. And it works.
• Oradin is BACK. Transferring his soul into the Miracle Stone, he revives just like a phoenix, taking on the Jamen Beast without breaking a sweat.
  • Let's also commend him for being able to keep his soul intact while encased in stone in Yodonheim long enough for Juru to find him and draw him out. The wise king of Crystalia everyone.
• Juru and Oradin getting a "Hirameiking" moment and imagining up Grateful Phoenix together.
• Grateful Phoenix's debut. It easily chases down and takes on Projector Gomuryu with utter ease, slicing through it like butter. Then comes the Finishing Move, where it flies right into space and slices the Jamen Beast in half. Damn.

Episode 30: A Proud Warrior

• A mostly off-screen one for Muryo. He managed to figure out by himself how to establish a link between Earth and Atamald thanks to his pact with Oradin and pure mechanics. Not to mention, he did this in one day.
• Grateful Phoenix gets a massive powerup as a result of this link, effortlessly defeating Torso Hildon.
  • Don't think that Kiramazin was put out of commission just yet. Grateful Phoenix juggles all of them before throwing it at the Jamenshi, instantly crushing its weak point.
• Let's be honest, Shiguru one-shotting the Jamenshi was pretty frickin' cool.

Episode 31: Toys

• The fact the writers were able to find a way to put the actual DX Toys of Kiramaizin and Gigant Driller into the show.

Episode 32: There's Something about Sayo

• Honestly, Yodonheim generals owned this episode:
  • Galza makes his glorious return and he has quite the treat: having honed himself in the Valley of Corruption, he uses his refined Jamental to corrupt Hakobu. From there, he makes the Mashin go directly to Atamald in the hopes of being able to imprison Oradin, intent on taking out one of the Kiramager's biggest assets.
  • Yodonna manipulates Yujin into thinking that growing the Yodon Ivy seed will be able to save him and Sayo. It's only after Sayo inputs the code to grow the seed that they figure out all about her plan, and even then they can't stop her just yet.
  • Carantula sends out Riddle Jamen to quickly gather Dark Energy. However, instead of growing just one Jamen Beast, he grows three sending them out all at one to wreak havoc on the city.
  • Hell, even the Bechats gets a shining moment in this episode by being able to take out Sayo.
• Sayo gets to show off her intelligence by inputting a key code that was needed to grow the Yodon Ivy, just from reading a Stanford paper just beforehand. If only it wasn't used for Yodonheim's purposes...
• Sayo, who is pissed off due to being used for Yodonheim's plan, straight-up gunning down Yodonna without breaking a sweat and then gives Yujin her Transformation Trinket to tell the other about the Yodon Ivy Seed, while knowing that she would get caught by Yodonna.
• Just the fact that all three Yodonheim generals were able to formulate their own plans while working together side-by-side to incapacitate the Kiramagers all at once, rather than going at it one Jamenshi/Jamen Beast at a time.

Episode 33: Giant Panic, Big Clash!

• This episode follows up the previous one with the Kiramager's counterattack, however the Yodonheim forces won't go down without a fight:
  • Juru and Tametomo fighting against a squad of Bechats while making way to the tower where the Yodon Ivy seed is held within while Sena, Shiguru and Takamichi pilot Mashin Express Zabyun, Kiramaizin and GigantDriller respectively to face off against the three Jamen Beasts is a spectacle to behold, especially since not only are both fights shown at the same time, but the background fight also affects the foreground fight with Sena knocking Sengoku Basra's out of its hand and Takamichi deflecting Tank Ligany's shot to where Juru and Tametomo are fighting with the latter destroying the Bechats albeit accidentally. However in spite of the recoil the two of them received, they continue on towards the tower.
  • The three Jamen Beasts overpowering the three mechas with a Combination Attack.
  • When Yodonna has Sayo hostage, Juru summons the Kiraful Go Arrow and shoots... into the sky? When Yodonna mocks him for his softness, Grateful Phoenix suddenly breaks through the ceiling and grabs the Yodon Ivy Seed. As it turns out, Juru used the arrow to tell Oradin to put himself into the arrow. The shot was then used to send him back to Atamald while also damaging Galza, allowing him go back to the Miracle Stone safely to fuse with Hakobu and go back to Earth again.
  • After being freed, Sayo still decides to help in the mecha battle in spite of her injuries.
  • The final battle is a free-for-all rugby game between the three Jamen Beasts and Smog Jouki against the Four Grand Guardians of Crystalia with the Yodon Ivy Seed acting as the ball:
    • When Juru tries to use Grateful Phoenix's flight to get the Yodon Ivy out, Galza answers by transforming Jouki back to his Mashin form to slam the mech back to Earth.
    • Tametomo coming up with a way to defeat the three Jamen Beasts when they use their Combination Attack from earlier through the use of Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors. First up Shield Shellga (paper) is slashed with the blades of King Express Zabyun (scissors), then Tank Ligany (rock) attacks are blocked through Kiramaizin with the use of Carry (paper) and is slammed down with a punch, after that the katanas of Sengoku Basra (scissors) are destroyed by the drill of GigantDriller (rock) and then Grateful Phoenix finishes the three of them off with his "Grateful Prominence".
    • Once it is clear that the Yodon Ivy Seed is impervious to even their Finishing Moves, Juru has another "Hirameiking!" moment and once again tells Oradin to put himself into the Kiraful Go Arrow. With Oradin inhabiting it, the arrow becomes large enough for the Grand Guardians to wield together and destroy the Yodon Ivy Seed, thus foiling Galza's grand plan.
  • The episode ends with a narration of Oradin explaining why Galza's plan failed in the end.
    Oradin: Galza, you thought by keeping me occupied, your plan was guaranteed to succeed. But you were wrong. Sayo gave up on remaining transformed, in order to inform the others about the Yodon Ivy. Sena, Shiguru and Takamichi. They all fought their hardest in order to keep the Jamen Beasts on the ropes. Tametomo's clear headed analysis came up with a plan to defeat the enemy. And Juru... with his two bouts of "Hiramaiking!" was able to turn the tables on the brink of defeat. Galza... the reason you lost is because you underestimated these six, and their leader, Juru. Even when battered, they polish each other to shine again... the greater the danger, the closer they become, and the more they inspire each other. That is their Kiramental!
• Kiyotaka Taguchi's direction deserves a moment all on its own. From the beginning fight scene all the way to the final mecha battle, it's clear that his experience directing in the Ultra Series payed off immensely.

Episode 34: Blue And Yellow Passion

• Galza once again showing off his refined Jamental by hijacking Express to form Jaaku King Express! With his new superpowered mech, he defeats GigantDriller and was even close to defeating Grateful Phoenix if it wasn't for Yodonna needing his help.
• Shiguru has been weakened by Yodonna's poison, Tametomo is unable to break the mask to heal him due to only Shiguru being able to destroy it and the other Kiramagers are busy with Galza. How do they beat Yodonna's "game"? By having Tametomo firing at Shiguru, who then uses his shield to deflect the shot, which destroys the mask due to it technically being Shiguru's attack. This once again proves Tametomo's boast that the Kiramagers' friendship will let them overcome everything. The Bechats then reach their limits leaving Yodonna alone, in spite of being outnumbered, Yodonna puts up a hell of a fight. However, it is Tametomo and Shiguru who not only defeat her, but also nearly managed to destroy her. Just to be clear, the two Butt Monkeys of the team were this close to destroying the Big Bad's dragon and would have if it wasn't for Yodon himself interfering by calling Galza to save her.
• Despite Shiguru on death's door from Numajo's altered poison, the fact that he was able to conjure up a plan and still fight is amazing.

Episode 35: A Wandering Mabushina

• Inspired Takamichi's and Muryo's words, Mabushina decides to take her energy and create a crystal golf ball. What then ensues is a game a golf between the Kiramagers and Golf Jamen, with Golf Jamen serving as the hole. With some excellent swings by Shiguru and Sena, Juru makes one glorious shot right at the Jamenshi's head, landing it in the hole, and destroying it once and for all.

Episode 36: RAP

• Juru loses his rap battle with Carantula and is about to get defeated... only to have Fire come in. The two of them engage in the rap battle, pointing out their flaws, but also acknowledging that they deeply care about each other. This wave of positivity breaks the Kiramagers' brainwashing and instantly turns the tide for them.
• All of the Mashins (including the auxiliary ones!) come to the Kiramagers' need after hearing Juru and Fire's rap battle, despite having a lot of reasons not to.
• The role call with everybody is practically a moment of awesome all of its own.
• The mech battle with Turntable Gomuryu and the Mashins. While the Jamen Beast overpowers the Mashins for a bit, the auxiliary come in to blast back the Jamen Beast. With the Jamen Beast at their mercy, all of the Grand Guardians deflect a gigantic beam right at them. To top it all off, they once again wield the giant Go-Kiramai Arrow and destroy Turntable Gomuryu and Carantula. Well, Carantula didn't actually die, but still.

Episode 37: Sena 1/5

• Hakobu quickly shaking off Galza's Jamental before flying to Atamald.
• King Express, with a 4/5th Sena leading the way, easily thrashing Smog Jouki.
• Emperor Yodon's whole appearance should be considered this, especially when he levels a whole city block to show off his power. It all happens in one quick attack, reducing the whole area to rubble and sending pretty much the entire mecha fleet flying before they could react. It's so horrifying that even Galza is taken aback by it. There's a reason they all respect and fear him.

Episode 38: Watching My Uncle's Moon

• Shiguru pulling off a Big Damn Heroes moment and utterly destroying Cavity Jamen with the Shiny Breaker by swooping in on the weapon and striking the Jamenshi on the head before invoking the Finishing Move.
• Takamichi besting Galza in the Grajewel despite Galza's experience with the sword. As he explains, despite not picking up a sword in years, he's able to beat him because of his stronger Kiramental, something that Galza simply does not have. This allows him to get the best of his uncle multiple times before grabbing his sword and clenching a win with the both of them.

Episode 39: The Emperor is a Sniper

• Tametomo managing to not only outwit, but destroy Shadon — one of Emperor Yodon's personalities.
  • The buildup cannot be ignored. With most of the team taken out, Tametomo uses Mabushina's power of light to heal the Mashins. From there, the Mashins quickly come to their aid and flood Shadon with light. With no shadows to hide in, Tametomo easily bests the Yodon hunter with his Finishing Move: "Shooting Star Billion".

Episode 40: Aching Person

• With Saburo inside of Jishiki Shellga, the Kiramagers take an indirect approach by getting GigantDriller to drill a hole in its core. Then Juru uses Mashin Duston to literally suck Saburo out of the Jamen Beast, allowing Sky Mage to escape with him while Land Mage takes care of Jishiki Jamen with ease.
• Juru, fueled by his utter disgust and anger at Wire Jamen, easily one-shots him with the Kiraful Go-Arrow. Wire Jamen barely got a fighting chance mind you.

Episode 41: I Want to Be As I Am

• The Kiramagers go full Bare-Fisted Monk on Maneki-Neko Jamen, using a combination of acrobatics, kicks, and punches to beat him down.
• Takamichi decides to get creative and drill his way to a hot spring underneath, knowing that cats hate water. This directly leads to Maneki-Neko Jamen's defeat as well as Cat Food Ligany's defeat as they were both caught off-guard.
• Galza managing to save Carantula at the last minute from Emperor Yodon's attack, an attack that should've killed him.

Episode 42: The Battle without Honor

• This whole episode is just Galza's vicious and awe-inspiring rise to power:
  • Willingly giving himself up to become one of Yodon's personalities, he gains a massive power boost. From there, he creates a black smog that corrupts anybody who breathes it in, making them behave into Bechat-like creatures. On top of that, his fighting skills absolutely trump the Kiramagers, making any attack they throw at him utterly useless.
  • His Batman Gambit absolutely deserves a mention. Saving Carantula from execution, Galza asks him to create a weapon that would ensure Yodon's incapacitation thanks to his betrayal. While Carantula was working on that, Galza gives himself up to Yodon, playing the part of a willing servant to keep him distracted. When he plagues the Earth just enough, he asks Yodon to take over, allowing Carantula to throw the bomb at the right moment. Incapacitated from the weapon, Yodon's consciousness gets quickly destroyed by the newly-empowered Galza, allowing him to take over and become "Lord Galza", completing his ascension into the new Big Bad.
  • The new Lord Galza is nothing less of awe-inspiring and utterly horrifying, destroying buildings left and right. He quickly takes down the Mashins without breaking a sweat, throwing the Kiramagers out. When Oradin comes around and tries to use his secret technique, he obliterates the hell out of it before coming back with his own secret technique: Tornado Screw Crash. Taking advantage of Oradin's weakened state, he uses his new gravity control to quickly take a hold of him, personally seeing to his execution in Yodonheim.
  • While usually a bigger bad causes the heroes or their leader to suffer a Heroic BSoD, Lord Galza was awe-inspiring in the eyes of Juru, who stammered just to shout how cool Lord Galza was.

Episode 44: Rest in Peace, My Friend

• Despite the team being rightfully distraught from Juru's supposed death, they quickly decide figure out a plan to destroy Yodon in lieu of wallowing in their grief, knowing that Juru wouldn't want to see them like this. Tametomo quickly formulates a plan to use the Kanaema Stone against the emperor by first using Energia to empower Oradin to try and seal him. Then, using Reversia with Muryo's device, Tametomo would revert Yodon back to his form from 10 days ago - that form being Yodonna. Then Oradin would fully seal her, allowing Shiguru to go in for the final blow with Destoria.
• Yodon proves why he's the emperor of Yodonheim for a good reason.
  • Yodon, knowing that he's on the ropes in his Yodonna form, decides to kill off Yodonna, reasoning that since that she was killed; he will be able to break out of his seal and live once she's gone.
  • Despite the Kiramagers' best effort, he easily dodges and demolishes their attacks one by one with pure strength, easily knocking them off-balance with his blasts. Then he creates a gigantic blast to send off to Earth, enough to finally destroy the Kiramagers and the Earth once and for all, only to be distracted by Juru crashing Mashin Jouki into him.
• Galza having been revealed to pull off a Heroic Sacrifice, transferring his soul in Smog Jouki in his dying moments to save Juru. After giving the Kiramager some encouraging words, he entrusts him with Jouki, knowing that he'll save the Earth in his stead.
• Carantula, no longer wanting to be associated with Yodonheim, sneaked into the base and stole Illusia when Yodon was out fighting the team, knowing that no one has defied Yodon and has lived to tell the tale... until now that is!

Episode 45: When You All Shined Together

• The Grand Finale is here, and it is glorious:
  • The Kiramagers give it all they got against Yodon, hitting him with every single attack they got. Unfortunately, Yodon gets the upper hand and swiftly defeats them. All seems lost... until Tametomo gives them the signal. Yodon's mask suddenly gets knocked out of his hand, revealing that the team was never defeated in the first place. How did they do this? With Juru on the ground monitoring the fight, he uses Illusia to create the illusion that Yodon was able to defeat the Kiramagers. Once he took off his mask, the team was able to go in and knock it off before the illusion wears off. With nowhere to run, Takamichi blast the emperor back into human size, allowing the team to take him on on an even ground.
  • The team doing their individual and "Super Sentai" Stance for the last time, helmetless. What makes this really awesome is that it was the actual actors doing the poses, from Juru's backflip to the complicated - and straining - team pose!
  • Following Tametomo's plan, Takamichi, Shiguru and Sayo have to clear the way by fighting the Yodon-empowered Bechats. While they do that, Tametomo and Sena protect Juru when he's powering up the Kiraful Go-Arrow. Tametomo shoots any Bechat that comes in their way, while Sena uses her speed to try and plant Destoria on Yodon. While Yodon gain the upper hand, it's not for long as Tametomo shoots at it just right, successfully putting it in the path of the Go-Arrow. Juru then fires "Sparkling Phoenix: Destoria Edition" right at Yodon's head, finally defeating the Yodonheim emperor once and for all in a spectacular explosion.
    Checkmage! P-P-P-PERFECT!!!
    Yodon: Impossible... I... can't lose...
