Episode 30: Proud Super Warrior (誇り高き超戦士 Hokori Takaki Chōsenshi) is the thirtieth episode of Mashin Sentai Kiramager.
Synopsis[]
Mashin Hakobu and Mashin Oradin have successfully joined the Kiramagers. They joke in the HQ about needing some more fellow warriors. However, Mr. Hakataminami is silently staring off in the distance. Just what is he thinking about behind those glasses of his? Later on, the Kiramagers respond to an emergency alert of a Jamen Monster and rush to the scene, expecting to end the battle quickly with the Kiraful Go Arrow as Go Kiramagers. However, when they attempt to summon the weapon, nothing comes. Mr. Hakataminami exclaims: "It's my turn now... I made a promise to King Oradin...", and walks away with the Kiraful Go Arrow in hand. "A promise with my father...?" Takamichi wonders as he suddenly starts to feel nervous. "Maybe he's... maybe he's trying to become the 7th Kiramager?!" Juru exclaims to the others, who can't contain their surprised reactions.
Plot[]
The Kiramagers celebrate that Oradin is alive and can add much needed firepower to their team. The Mashins note that aside from them being commoners and Oradin a king, there's no way to contact him from Atamald on a regular basis aside from getting Hakobu to take them there everytime. The Kiramagers then speculate about getting another Kiramager to help them out before an alert forces them to deploy. As they do, Hakataminami wonders if his moment has come.
The Jamen Monster has the ability to stiffen humans as if they become mannequins but not to make them full mannequins. Within seconds of the Kiramager's arrival, he uses this on Sena, whom Tametomo has to carry away. As the Kiramagers gain the advantage and call for the Kiraful Go-Arrow, Mabusheena tells them that Hakataminami took it offline to make unknown changes to it, saying that it may be his time to shine. The Jamen Monster escapes.
At the base, Tametomo bemoans that they could not finish the fight with the Kiraful Go-Arrow while the rest speculate what Hakataminami meant. Takamichi recalls parts of a conversation between Oradin and Hakataminami before the former left for Crystaria with Takamichi to heal him after the Monstone entered his body. Oradin had told Hakataminami that he had the makings of a warrior and that he would know what to do when the time came. Based on this, the Kiramagers and Mashins speculate that Hakataminami is turning Kiraful Go-Arrow into a changer so he can become a seventh Kiramager, KirameiGold, with Oradin as his Mashin partner. Mabusheena and Takamichi are excited and vow to support this goal, feeling guilty that Takamichi's injury and treatment off-world deprived Hakataminami of his brother growing up. Tametomo considers this inefficient, while Juuru is skeptical that this is Hakataminami's plan.
Yodonna upgrades the Jamen Monster to make complete mannequins of humans. When the Kiramagers confront him next, he uses this ability on Sayo. During the fight, Takamichi continuously pleads with the others to not summon the Kiraful Go-Arrow so Hakataminami can finish turning it into his changer.
Hakataminami calls and tells them it's ready. Takamichi asks if KirameiGold is about to debut. Confused by what Takamichi is talking aobut, Hakataminami explains that he's upgraded the Kiraful Go-Arrow so it can link to Atamald and call Oradin whenever they need him. The conversation from 15 years ago between Oradin and Hakataminami began with the latter offering various gifts for the royal family, palace staff, and his brother. Oradin, impressed by Hakataminami's thoughtfulness, told him that he was a warrior in the sense that he provides the kind of support warriors needs in order to fight their best. Oradin's promise was to lend his aid whenever Hakataminami needed it; Hakataminami now was giving that favor to the Kiramagers by using the Kiraful Go-Arrow. Juuru explains to Takamichi that he suspected something like this; Hakataminami shines the most when helping from CARAT labs, not when fighting on the front lines.
Juuru uses the Kiraful Go-Arrow to transform himself and Shigeru into Go KirameiRed and Go KirameiBlue. Shigeru remains on the ground to finish the fight while Juuru pilots Grateful Phoenix.
After the battle, with the female Kiramagers restored, Oradin praises Hakataminami's ability to develop a device that could communicate with Atamald. Oradin notes that now Mabusheena can speak to him whenever she wants, while Takamichi proudly celebrates having the best supporting brother he could ask for.
