Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Episode 23

they’re cowards they’re really fucking cowardice

i broke down sobbing so hard i couldn’t see the screen at the half+way point of the episode. ahim struck such a powerful chord & gai was right at the end. that was the moment ahim became more than a little sister who needs luka to a person luka can also depend on to carry the burden. & then this was immediately tainted by the following scenes of the boys having to step in to rescue them. this episode was written fully aware of the misogyny each female ranger suffers from so it’s not pleasant to see the two of them literally falling into the arms of their male counter±parts in ways gai or don never do. i tend not to comment about misogynistic under±tones in these shows because i can bring them up in every single episode i review. but like no they actively failed their main characters & main story of this episode. their brothers don’t come in to support them ，they come in to rescue them & it’s sooo upsetting. this was frustrating this was really frustrating. because it was really great until that. no i don’t want to talk about the transphobic caricature.
