Rakuraizer Chapter 22 (Patreon)

And now we're back to the juicy stuff! Swan makes a strong showing for herself in this chapter, I'd say. 

I suppose now's as good a time as any to touch on how Gaogaigar influenced this story, obviously if you see it you know it's a lot. As well as Swan being the head of Mighty Guard, the entire organization is quite similar to the GGG with their gutsy, die-hard atittude and the Geomorphs share a lot of similarities with the Zonders (enemy cores that take on forms based on their point of origin and humanoid Generals that are more intelligent being the main ones). I have Rei to thank for introducing me to the anime in the first place so it came up often in our discussions of what about to do for Rakuraizer's story.

It's a fun anime and if you like Rakuraizer I definitely recommend checking it out... about the only element that didn't make it into this story in some form or another was the immense number of A.I. controlled giant robots which never really gelled with me. Goldymarg is still a champ though.

So where are Primarda, Renais and Utsugi you might be wondering? I suppose they could've easily made their way into the story instead of other girls but it just felt like there were higher priorities at the time of drafting the list haha
