Summary:
Juru has returned to his fellow Kiramagers, but they're all on the ropes, due to Emperor Yodon's sheer power. The Kiramagers must give everything they've got to defeat him, but they must think of how to do so quickly if they are to succeed.
Tropes:
- Batman Gambit: The Kiramagers use every single attack they got under their belts to try and destroy Yodon's mask to no avail, leading to their crushing defeat... that is, until Tametomo gives the team the signal. They quickly get Yodon's mask out of his hands and blast him to human size. The reason that they were able to do this? Turns out that Juru was on the ground the whole time, waiting for the right moment to use Illusia against the emperor to make him think that he really defeated the team. When he removes his mask, the team was able to go in with no fear of getting attacked thanks to the illusion.
- Boom, Headshot!: How Yodon goes down, getting ganked with a Destoria-enhanced shot from the Kiramai Go-Arrow to his bare head.Checkmage! P-P-P-PERFECT!!!
- Call-Back: The Dream Stone's empowerment of the Kiramazin and GigantDriller from Mashin Sentai Kiramager The Movie: Bee-Bop Dream is used as inspiration for Mabushina and the Mashins to encourage the Kiramagers into fighting by explaining why they shine the way that they do.
- Defeat Equals Explosion: In true Sentai fashion: Yodon goes down in one gigantic, fantastic explosion.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: With all four Kanaema Stones, Mabushina and Takamichi wish for Crystalia to be restored from the ground up. Three months later, the kingdom is thoroughly thriving without fear of Yodon taking over, with Mabushina as the new queen. Bonus, they even erected a mountain monument with the Kiramagers carved into it, celebrating their success over Yodon.
- Forced Transformation: Lampshaded with King Oradin and Queen Mabayuine's conditions. With the former stuck as a Mashin/Crystal and the latter as her own head ornament, neither of them are fit to lead the restoration of Crystalia, leaving Mabushina the only one capable of inheriting the task.note She gladly accepts this and becomes Queen Mabushina.
- Foreshadowing: Kakihara suddenly comes into the newly reformed Crystalia, asking Juru why he drew a team of four robots and a human ranger instead of cute portrait of her. Juru doesn't really know and states that he just went on instinct.
- Grand Finale: This is the final episode of the series and boy do they go out with a bang, quite literally.
- Maybe Ever After: It's all but outright stated that Kakihara and Juru got together over the Time Skip.
- Not Quite Dead: Turns out, Yodonna was barely able to survive Yodon's execution from last episode. She decides to use her last moments to get some closure with the emperor before dying once and for all.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The episode title is one to the 1964 film Kimitachi ga ite boku ga ita (君たちがいて僕がいた, "Here Because Of You").
- Redemption Earns Life: Carantula is still alive and well three months after the final battle with Yodon, creating pictures for people to celebrate.
- Series Continuity Error:
- The final scene insinuates that Juru’s vision of Oradin was what brought everyone together, in direct defiance of Episode Zero showing that the formation of the Kiramagers and Juru’s dreams were utterly unrelated. And it’s said with too much conviction to be metaphorical.
- Another minor one in that despite Oradin having told Juru his special powers are due to being The Chosen One to protect Crystalia, his allies still ultimately decide on the real cause of his powers: A Contrived Coincidence.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: After a three-month Time Skip, the team has returned to their lifestyles before Yodonheim invaded and the world is a safer place. Juru and Kakihara have seemingly gotten together and Crystalia is finally restored with Mabushina as queen, clearly in a better place than we saw in the beginning.
- When people shine, a miracle is born.
That shine is the symbol of the warriors that can change the future!
Kiramai...GO!!!
