Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger episode 30 provides a difficult choice as characters invoke a rally of support for all sides. The Boonboomger team, Sanseaters and even Mad Rex cause a battle of will to arise for all factions, with each group having something to fight for.
Boonboomger mixes the relationship between the Hashiryan Trio and Mad Rex as they try to bring their old captain back. Dragging in BunRed to help, a burst of effort causes all characters to get weaved into a chaotic clash. The episode features the return of Boonboomger Killer Robo with a stolen combination, and three separate collisions taking place.
Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger has divided the protagonists and antagonists due to the recent developments of Lap 3. BunOrange and Disrace are at the heart of the new arc, with new threats down the road. As the story progresses, bigger features expect to debut that have already been teased in the latest episodes. This includes an antagonist in the ISA and the upcoming Boonboom Champion Carrier, which will include a new mode. As the story progresses, the biggest hangup currently includes enraged Genba and the altered, revived Mad Rex.
Sanseaters Enter the Middle Lane
Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger has started to break into chaos as recent events started splintering all factions. This includes seeing a great deal of action from the Sanseaters as they reveal their backstory with Mad Rex. The great attempt to bring their old boss back results in a great division of the Boonboomger team, including a range of fights happening simultaneously.
The relationship between Mad Rex and the trio is given greater substance and significance as their past is highlighted further. The feelings of Decorade, Itasha and Yeiyei provide a different side to the revived Captain, as he helped them after struggling to survive. This dive into the past has a great resemblance to Taiga’s recruitment of his team, creating an eye opening mirror between both characters. Seeing them using their delightful scheming and stroll through past locations was a great way to outline the past, while providing a nice escalation.
Seeing them use their Boonboomger Danger to tap into the communications shows their quirky resourcefulness. It was great to see them pull out all the stops, showing just how much power they have accumulated thanks to their previous developments. The Boonboomger Killer Robo also fed into their action, showcasing how strong and cunning they can be when they are serious. Although defeated in the end, their methods and effort ultimately have an effect that proves they are not foes to underestimate.
Boonboomger Dragged Into Action
Taiga and Mad Rex’s past relationship played a huge role in the episode, even with Disrace’s intervention to cause a full on fight. The hesitation from Taiga perfectly matched his view on “taking the steering wheel”, which a philosophy that proves he only invokes action when he knows it’s a true intention. It was interesting to see Sakito take witness, but Byun D provided the perfect bridge to allow Ishiro to shine with his spy like instincts.
The surprise from the Sanseaters opened a great awareness of the drama occurring for the Hashiryan, but the quick thinking of Ishiro showcased his key role in the team. Quickly acting from a descending Killer Robo allowed the episode to feature so much suspense, while action unfolded between Mad Rex and BunRed.
It was also amazing seeing the battle take off between the old rivals, including the use of the 119 Mode to sustain the level of development happening in the series so far. However, BunRed still finds himself at the mercy of his old rival, with great damage sustained despite his powerup.
Multi-Combat Enhanced By Diverse Causes
The two battles that occurred in the episode were a great level of excitement that captivated fans, but the introduction of a third fight added even greater heat. This includes Genba in his true form as he notices Taiga’s hesitance due to his ‘driver’s seat’ outlook, enraging his perspective on his foes. It was incredible to see Sakito intervene, causing an altercation between BunOrange and BunViolet. There was already a high tension as the Sanseaters were stopping the core team for Mad Rex’s sake, but this added battle highlighted the broken balance shifting within both factions.
It was also interesting to see Byun D evaluate the situation with concern over the priority. It’s curious that both Disrace and Byun D haven’t been warped by the chaos and remain aware of the duty that drives both factions. Genba leaving after the conclusion of the other fights also highlights his volatile nature as it evolves around his need for revenge. It will be interesting to see what causes a shift in Genba’s personality if he overcomes the rage that dictates his override of allegiance.
Killer Robo Adds Surprising Sparks in Fire Fight
The Sanseaters calling the return of the Boonboomger Killer Robo was an expected feature after seeing their device reused. However, it was interesting to see their scheming cause the Boonboom Cars for the Police form to be stolen. The benefits of the dark Police mode were also magnified as the Monster and Builder formations struggled against the wilful onslaught from the Sanseaters. It was especially fantastic to see the trio raise the threat from their need to help Mad Rex, placing reliance on the BunRed rivalry.
Although Killer Robo was defeated, it was brilliant to use the Knight formation to outmanoeuvre the Killer Robo Police. This also led nicely to providing the true awakening for Mad Rex, causing him to awaken memories hidden by Disrace. This spin of cause and effect throughout the episode has heightened the events of the arc. Although Mad Rex simply returned to Disrace, it was brilliant to see the gears turning as his dog teased the eventual twist for fans to be excited for.
