Recap / Seijuu Sentai Gingaman Ep 49

Go To

The Space Pirates Balban pulls all the stops to enlarge the Earth Demon Beast, with Captain Zahab sending all of his remaining top generals for the plan. The Gingamen struggle to formulate a plan to stop the vile monster from wrecking havoc and destruction on civilization when Ryouma remembers the mountain where his team got their Ginga Braces, believing it could help with their plan.

Episode Tropes

  • Achilles' Heel: Bucrates reveals that he was the one who inserted the life of Captain Zahab's planet to save the pirate captain's life 3000 years ago. As such, he states that destroying it will make him vulnerable, and the Knight Axe could break it.
  • Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: The Earth Demon Beast eats Batobbas and his capsule of Balban Extract, saving the Gingamen the effort of trying to fight him.
  • Batman Gambit: The plan Ryouma has is to use a hidden device inside the Roaring Mountain to lure out the Earth Demon Beast and destroy it completely so there will never be another of its kind again.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Ryouma activates the mechanism in the Roaring Mountain, but the resulting wind from its howling blows him away, leaving him hanging on the edge for a moment before falling. Cue Hyuuga arriving at the scene and grabbing his hand.
  • Cliffhanger: The episode ends with Ryouma and company about to confront the now-gigantic Earth Demon Beast.
  • Defiant to the End: Despite getting mortally wounded by Hayate's final slash, Shellinda still limps towards her long-time enemy in a last-ditch attempt to kill him.
    Shellinda: Ginga Green... I'm not done yet... I can still fight... DIE! [attempts to slash him, but only manages to land a weak blow which does nothing to GingaGreen]
  • Groin Attack: A hapless Yartot gets hit down below by Gouki's Star Beast Rod and ends up howling in pain before getting sent flying.
  • Hope Spot: Ryouma suggests using his Fire Earth Power to destroy the Earth Demon Beast and ensure nothing is left of it. With help from his team, the plan is seemingly successful... but all of a sudden, the vile monster reemerges unharmed and enlarges from the effects of Batobbas' Balban Extract capsule.
  • Karmic Death: Batobbas is eaten whole by the Earth Demon Beast, which he has been trying to enlarge for so long.
  • Killed Off for Real: Bucrates blows himself up to give Hyuuga a chance to escape, Shellinda is slain by Hayate in a duel, and Battobas is eaten by the Earth Demon Beast.
  • Meaningful Name: Roaring Mountain lives up to its name as the device Ryouma finds makes a noise so loud, everyone in the city can hear it.
  • Taking You with Me: A mortally wounded Bucrates uses one of his bombs to blow himself up along with the Yartots sent to kill him.
  • Tempting Fate: Ryouma, with aid from his team, burns the Demon Beast, and when he doesn't see it again, he declares that they've won. Cue the monster reemerging unharmed and growing to a huge size, an indication that Ryouma's plan did not work.
  • Wham Episode: All of Zahab's remaining top generals have been destroyed (or in Batobbas' case, getting eaten by the Earth Demon Beast), Bucrates dies to cover Hyuuga's escape, and the Earth Demon Beast is enlarged despite the Gingamen's efforts to stop it.
  • Where It All Began: Per the Starbeasts' suggestion, Ryouma returns to the Roaring Mountains, the place where the Gingamen first fought the Balban Army and received their Ginga Braces, to lure the Earth Demon Beast and finish it.
