Mike attempts to prove hismelf worthy of wielding the Beetle Disk, but his impulsiveness causes problems.
Tropes
- Aesop Enforcer: Mentor Ji, due to Turn in Your Badge below.
- Compressed Vice / Lost Aesop: Due to adapting Shinkenger without accounting for detail, the anti-jealousy / anti-recklessness moral the Episode tries to get across is smothered by heaps of Informed Flaws toppeled onto Mike via exposition that never come up in-show.note
- Took a Level in Badass: Mike throughout the episode. He starts out struggling to prove himself, unable to use the Beetle Disc. Thanks to Ji however, Mike finds his balance and inner strength, taking down a Nighlok without even needing the Beetle disc, and then being able to use it himself.
- Turn in Your Badge: Ji makes Mike hand over his Samuraizer.
