Ok, so obviously this episode, being the 27th of the show, depends on previous cathartic build up quite heavily, but that doesn't mean it does stand on it's own as an excelent work of art by itself, I'm not speaking from nostalgia here, I did watch this show as a child, but sporadically and inconsistently, and this is one of the episodes I never got to watch back in the 2000's (or at least I don't recall having done so), I just recenly started watching the full series in a proper progession, because I wanted to know if it is as good as I remembered, and it's WAY BETTER, so far it's had great world building, story and character development and a truly exciting superhero plot, with a dramatic execution that would make dozens, if not hundreds of action movies look so emarrasingly poor in artistic quality, seriously, so far it's been amazing just how effective the action tales in this show can be, and how much artistically better a random twenty minute episode of this show can be, than the vast majority of feature length LIVE ACTION BLOCKBUSTERS. And this episode showcases what this marvelous serialized animation can offer in under half an hour, it is just so perfectly well crafted in every aspect, and it can be perfectly enjoyed without much knowledge of previous episodes, but it's still a much better experience if enjoyed in the order that's proper. I don't wanna spoil anything, so I'll just say that, this episode has made the past 26 worth it, not to say that they weren't already pretty amazing anyway. Enjoy!
