[[folder:'''Episode 45:''' Heirs to the King]]

* Even on his deathbed, King Causus fought in what was historically described as "an incredible battle" against Grodie and Kamejin

* Yanma calls out Racules for trying to use the prophecy to monopolize power during the rulers' meeting. While this is probably because of his own desires to be on top, he is accurate in deducing that Racules is not the benevolent ruler he makes himself out to be.

* Gira takes things into his own hands and stands up against Racules' reign, declaring that he'll be the "King of Evil" that will actually protect his own. God Kuwagata does the impossible and ''acknowledges Gira'', allowing him to become Kuwagata Ohger. The soundtrack that plays in the background, "I Will Take Over This World!", is suitably epic, combining a string orchestra with powerful rock instruments to create a track that screams DareToBeBadass.
-->'''Racules''': Do you understand what it means to point a sword at your king? You have just made yourself the world's enemy!\\
'''Gira''': ''(Gira closes his eyes and takes a small breath. He then looks down, smirks, and wipes away his tears)'' That's fine by me. That "justice" you talked about is sickening! Boring! And maddening! If sacrificing children is supposed to be justice, ''[[ThenLetMeBeEvil then I'll be the evil that crushes that justice!]]'' Now fear me and heed my words! ''(puts on Racules' mantle)'' I will show no shred of mercy nor restraint, and spare no effort nor intent! [[BadassBoast The name of your demise... is Gira! The man who'll become the King of Evil! And I... shall rule over this entire world!]]
** The fact '''[[PhysicalGod God Kuwagata]]''' acknowledges and empowers Gira right after he chews out Racules and openly rebels against him implies the Shugod ''agrees'' with Gira on Racules being unfit to be king and actively [[DoNotTauntCthulhu screwed him over on purpose.]]

* Gira gives Yanma a weighty WhatTheHellHero by accusing him of acting similar to Racules. When Yanma questions his intentions behind his "King of Evil" act, Gira responds that he intends to try everything humanly possible to defeat Racules, even if he ends up being the villain.

* Yanma defying Racules against all odds, even with the threat of war looming over his head, with one helluva of a BadassBoast. This whole speech earns him the respect of his people once more, as well as Gira.

* The highlight of the episode probably has to be how Kaguragi effortlessly manipulates ''everyone'' in order to protect Toufu, whether it be the Bognaarok, Racules, or even his fellow King-Ohgers. To wit:
** He attacks the newly formed trio while piloting God Kabuto, making sure they assume it's Racules attacking them.

** He manages to get Racules off his case by stating that he's working on catching Gira, all while he's hosting the latter and treating him like a guest.

* Kuwagata Ohger figures out that Hachi Ohger is the one that is piloting God Kabuto and not Racules after seeing him protect the nearby crops. He then calls out the former for working with Racules, telling him that he'll only be a puppet. This drives Hachi Ohger to respond with StunnedSilence.

* While Rita has a few... ''interesting'' personal quirks, it is made ''damn clear'' why they are Gokkan's ruler and the chief justice of the International Criminal Court. Even though they have their personal biases and would rather convict based on their gut feeling, Rita still follows the evidence because it's the right thing to do. They go out of their way to get testimonials and evidence personally, knowing that they would need all of it to prove Gira's innocence. The fact that they manage to foil Racules yet again and cement him as the enemy of all other kingdoms is just the cherry on top, with arguably one of the best {{Badass Creed}}s to date.
--> '''Racules:''' ''(manically laughs)'' Have you forgotten my warning? If you let [Gira] free, you will be making an enemy of me!\\

* The entire episode is one for Racules, who manages to recover from his setback in the previous episode to put things back in his favor.

** While that doesn't work, with Gira set to attack Racules anyway, Racules decides to act magnanimous in order to make Gira look like the aggressor.

* Gira fully solidifies his status as the "King of Evil" with an epic BadassBoast before summoning God Scorpion, all so that he can take Racules down, even with his fugitive status reinvoked.
--> '''Racules''': It seems that you're still intent on defying me... my great and glorious citizens, this man is pointing a sword at your king and is putting you all at risk. ''This man is Shugoddam's enemy!''\\

* The battle between both of the series' literal JapaneseBeetleBrothers is not only fierce, but spans the majority of the episode with Gira holding his own up until Gerojim interferes. Then later it's revealed that Racules was ''holding back'', easily crushing Gira with sheer power.
** During the duel Gira cuts past the speeches, bluster, and bullshit and gets to the heart of the matter: Racules is ''scared'' of him. Racules denies it, but his tone and actions say otherwise; he wouldn't be doing all of this unless he was terrified of Gira, even if it's just because he a SpannerInTheWorks that ''nothing'' he does seems to be able to get rid of him.

* When Racules calls the monarchs to manipulate everyone to bend the knee, Kaguragi [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness drops the mask]] and calls him out on having the audacity to make a power play in the middle of a global crisis.

* Racules somehow manages to take credit for Legend King-Ohger's revival in the end, even though he had no part in it. The other monarchs allow him to take the victory for once, but next episode shows that they won't go down quietly.

** The monarchs' plan to discredit Racules is thrown off by Jeremy's appearance, preventing Gira from crashing his funeral while allowing Jeremy to make off with his coffin for his own plan.

* For most of the episode, Suzume is seen coddling up to Racules, even refusing to go back to Toufu because of her supposed love for him. The ending of the episode sees her repeating her brother's mantra while unsheathing her katana, heavily implying that the whole lovey-dovey act is a complete farce so that she can protect Toufu in her own way.

* When Jeramie threatens Gira with force if he were to interfere with Racules' peace negotiations, Yanma ''[[ThreatBackfire immediately]]'' [[ThreatBackfire shuts him down]] by showing him camera footage of Sanagim invading N'Kosopa. Yanma then makes it clear that if any of his people are hurt; Jeramie's going to face his wrath personally.

* Yanma subtly calling out Kaguragi's apparent allegiance to Racules, telling the latter that his lack of trustworthiness ironically makes him even more trustworthy. All Kaguragi can do is flash his signature grin, seemingly respecting him.

** In order to gain Jeramie's temporary allegiance, he asks Rita to arrest and try him once more in order to convince him of the team's crusade against Racules. While it doesn't necessarily work out all to his favor, Rita's trial does get Jeramie to fight on the Ohsama Sentai's side for now.
** He then entrusts Hymeno and Shiokara with the evacuation of N'Kosopa, knowing that the former's extensive medical staff and resources will leave the N'Kosopans unscathed. This leaves Yanma to fight off Racules on his own, ensuring that the country will at least go down fighting.

** When Gerojim informs Jeramie of Daigorg's resurrection, we see a genuine look of fear on Jeremie's face for the first time. His signature cryptic and smug candor is completely absent as he tells Racules who Daigorg is and why he is to be feared. This informs the audience that Daigorg [[{{Understatement}} is not to be trifled with]] even before we see him in action outside of a flashback.
* Despite hanging on by a thread and having all the odds stacked against him, [[{{Determinator}} Yanma]] simply won't go down without a fight, giving Racules a metaphorical middle finger when he tells Daigorg to BringIt. He may be an egotistical, hot-tempered man, but there's no doubt that Yanma will do '''everything''' to protect his people no matter the cost.
* Gira [[BigDamnHeroes saving Yanma at the last minute from Daigorg's attack]], making his survival known to Shugoddam. After passing off Yanma to Shiokara, he then sets his sights on Racules and Daigorg, intent on defeating the tyrannical king for good. The look on Racules' face at seeing his brother still being alive and continuing to be a thorn in his side says it all.
-->'''Gira''': ''(points his [=OhgerCalibur=] at Racules and Daigorg, then he smirks)'' [[PreAsskickingOneLiner I have returned... from the depths of Hell]].

* When Douga refuses to comply with Rita and has his men draw their swords on them, Rita doesn't flinch, making it clear they are unafraid, and while they do leave, Rita also makes it clear that Racules won't escape Gokkan's judgment this time.
* When Racules and his advisors are talking about Kaguragi's suspicious behavior, while they suspect Kaguragi, no one brings up Suzume as a threat or thinks she might be collaborating with her brother. In other words, Suzume has the wool pulled over the eyes of the entire Shugoddam royal court.
* When Douga and Boshimar catch Kaguragi sneaking around in the throne room without permission, a situation even he can't talk himself out of, Suzume arrives to save her brother by taking control of the situation, starting by sitting on the royal throne. When Boshimar tries to object, she dismisses his cries by telling him as Racules' fiance she and he are one, making it clear that ''she'' is in charge.
* As it turns out, Kaguragi has been sucking up to Racules the whole time so he could figure out how to use King-Ohger ZERO for himself, and Suzume was actually in on it. Not only does it pay off, but he also takes a moment to actually taunt Ohwakugata Ohger inside the mech for his gambit paying off:

* As hilarious as it is, the whoopee cushion prank Yanma attempted to pull off in #13 somehow manages to get vindication in this episode. In comparison to last time, Yanma decides to enlist Jeramie in his revenge scheme, seeing as how both of them loathe Racules. Not only does the prank go off without a hitch, the both of them manage to finally make amends with each other after six episodes.

* Knowing that somebody would try and interrupt Gira and Racules' duel, Kaguragi and Jeramie teamed up to create a fake [=OhgerLance=] that "Boshimar" would eventually take from a disguised Jeramie while Kaguragi would protect the real one. Their plan is largely successful even though they didn't tell anybody until TheReveal.

* The end of the episode reveals that Shugo Mask instigated the takeover of the five kingdoms while the team was away, allowing for him and the Jesters to take over the other kingdoms without issue. On top of that, Shugo Mask is revealed to be none other than Racules, who was presumed dead after the second trial-by-combat.
-->'''Racules''': [[IronicEcho I have returned from the depths of Hell]].

* Racules' scheming is in top form in this episode, managing to use the King-Ohgers' victory to his own ends and become one of the Jesters himself. To wit:
** He meets up with Kaguragi, telling the lord of Toufu he needs to have one of the Jesters killed. Kaguragi suggests Hilbil since he's immune to her compulsion powers, but Racules convinces him to switch targets because [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou her powers are useful for his plans]].

** And everything goes as he planned. Goma dies for real and Racules waltzes into the Galactinsects' dimension and all but demands Dagded to make him one of the Jesters. The latter agrees, albeit very reluctantly.

* The ending whammy: Racules is revealed to be [[BatmanGambit playing everyone all along]] so he would get the power to defeat Dagded. He then proceeds to use his new ability to strike Dagded.
-->'''Racules''': [[TitleDrop Gira, it's time to save the universe.]]

[[folder:'''Episode 42:''' The Secret of King Racules]]
* When Racules first met Dagded and was informed and forced into the duty of continuing the cycle of violence for the king of the universe's twisted enjoyment. Instead of falling into despair over his predicament, he is fuming with rage and immediately starts planning on how to defeat Dagded for good. It took 17 years along with several setbacks, but in the end, his plan succeeded.
** Furthermore, he managed to deceive literally ''everyone'', even Kaguragi, as he admits to not having believed in Racules until Suzume told him of his plan and showed him the secret message he left her inside the ring's gem.

* Even fatally wounded and untransformed, Racules still fights against Dagded to give Gira an opening for the final blow.

* Both of the Husty brothers fight side by side'', and it shows how strong they are together, being able to bring an end to Dagded.

[[folder: '''Episode 40:''' We Are King and Prince]]

** Gira and Rita battle Goma two-on-one. Rita fires an arrow at Goma who uses his powers to swap positions with Rita, who barely reacts as she blocks her own shot with a WingShield. Gira and Rita then launch both their attacks at Goma. He blocks Rita's but Gira's hits him dead on.

* The fight between the Jesters and [[HeroicSecondWind the newlypowered-up King-Ohgers]] is nothing short of spectacular.

* Yanma revealing that ''all'' the supercomputers the Jesters destroyed where fakes. The whole thing was a ploy to lure the Jesters out and finally take the fight to them. At that moment, Shiokara comes charging with God Tombo to disengage the OhgerCalibur's hidden lock from the Peta Castle and grant the team access to the [=OhgerCalibur=]'s [[SuperMode enhanced abilities.]]

* The fight between the Jesters and [[HeroicSecondWind powered-up King-Ohgers]] is nothing short of spectacular.

** Gira and Rita battle Goma two-on-one. Rita fires an arrow at Goma who uses his powers to swap positions with Rita, so she has to block her own attack with a WingShield. Gira and Rita then both shrug this off and launch both their attacks at Goma. He blocks Rita's but Gira's hits him dead on.

** Remember how in episode 29 the five main King-Ohgers were barely a match for Hilbil? Here, it only takes four of them to utterly overwhelm her and this was with her already having serious trouble with Yanma. [[VillainsWantMercy She begs for her life]] and Yanma demands she relinquish her control on the citizens of N'Kosopa, saying he might consider sparing her if she does so.
** Hilbil relents and expects to be spared. However, Yanma said he would ''[[ExactWords consider]]'' sparing her if she did as she asked and after considering it, decides he's going to kill her. All six King-Ohgers then charge up their attacks and the only thing that saves Hilbil is swapping places with Goma at the last minute.
* After failing ''spectacularly'' in the last attempt, N'Kosopa is ''finally'' back in the hands of the Monarchs, and not only do they ''annihilate'' the Jesters, they gave the Galactinsects their very first casualty.

** Hymeno generates a giant grasshopper leg with the intent of stomping on Grodie, who barely manages to leap out of the way.
