Kousoku Sentai Turboranger, Episode 46: "Ragorn's Counterattack"

"It is fate that those who have received the power of the Wandering Boma and the fairies will lose that power if they fight. You fools. Without even knowing that you were losing your own power, you continued to fight the Turborangers, and now, you have finally lost it. Hahaha...!"

Evil does not perish...

And evil remained evil until the very end.

Boma Emperor Ragorn was alive.
And the Wandering Boma Yamimaru and Kirika were used as tools to exhaust the power of the Turborangers' fairies.

The theme is "Why must we fight?"

Both the Wandering Boma Yamimaru and Kirika were originally classmates of Riki and the others at Musashino Academy High School.
*Yamimaru was only a classmate for one day, though... haha

The reason they fight the Turborangers is for a place to belong.

The long, long path they have walked, defined by years of persecution and discrimination.

Their timeline had stopped.

And through their battle with the Turborangers, they gained a position in the Boma Castle where they were acknowledged.

And so, the hands of the clock began to move.

People demonstrate their strength when they are needed.

Because they were acknowledged as leaders who could command the Boma, the Wandering Boma Yamimaru and Kirika were able to let themselves shine.
By now, they were maintaining their position and themselves by fighting the Turborangers.

In the midst of this, a "Why?" sprouted in Haruna Morikawa (Pink Turbo).

"Forget the hatred and regain the love...!"

Suddenly, a fairy gate appeared before Haruna.
And beyond the gate, the land of the fairies spread out.

In the land of the fairies, there is said to be the "Stone of Love," which makes everyone who bathes in its light forget their hatred and regain their love.

Haruna runs through the land of the fairies to find the Stone of Love in order to end the fighting.

Meanwhile, in this episode, the resurrected Boma Emperor Ragorn (Neo Ragorn) attacks them while they have exhausted their power.

When Riki and the others, as well as Yamimaru and Kirika, have lost their ability to transform and all hope seems lost, the divine line of this episode is spoken by Riki.

Reflecting on having lured everyone to the land of the fairies, Haruna gathers the remaining fairy power from Riki and the others, transforms by herself, and challenges the Hitotsume Boma.

The power of one person is precious, and yet it is small.

These were the words that leaked from Haruna's heart amidst all that: "At a time like this... if only the Stone of Love were here..."

Thoughts that cross one's mind when things do not go as planned.

"What ifs."

If only I had done this at that time...

If only I hadn't done that at that time...

A dependence on the past that never ends once you start thinking about it.

However, the future is where we want to go, and the past is all we see when we look back. ...And then, feelings of regret come rushing back again.

Haruna's state of mind was just like that.

"In order to obtain the Stone of Love, I dragged those around me into a dangerous path. ...And now, my body is wounded, and what's more, I've used up the fairy's power and can't even transform anymore." ...So she thought.

Riki's words, which stirred Haruna's heart.

These words, which reminded her of the true meaning of the battle she wanted to fight, made my heart burn as I watched.

The "image of the self one wants to become" that everyone has thought about at some point.

Haruna wanted to fill people with kindness through deep love and lead them to a world without conflict.

The encouragement given by the comrades who understood those feelings the best.

I thought that the scene where Pink Turbo sat in the main cockpit piloting the Turbo Rugger, while Riki and the others also held the control sticks in their untransformed states to assist, depicted their "form of love."

So... is everyone still with me?
Turboranger are heroes who definitely exist!

When people are believed in, they can exert power they could not produce on their own.

That is because they feel support that says "you are not alone."

When climbing a slope, having someone push your pelvis from behind makes it easier to climb.

And yet, the amount of physical work remains the same.

Better with friends than alone. Even in work, by trusting your colleagues, the quality of the work from those who are trusted improves.

And, being trusted remains in the heart forever.

Yes, along with various legendary lines.
