Plot<\/b>: As Genshi and the others continue on their mission to save Ammon and TP Lady. Sora, Tokio, and Dr. Yamato try desperately to locate them to help while Kyoichiro chases after them through the time stream. Meanwhile, the final of the Elite Four, Gera, sets various traps for Genshi to eventually achieve his dream to challenge and defeat Genshi once and for all.<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n Title Change<\/b>: \u201cGame Master Gera\u201d is changed to \u201cGame Master\u201d.<\/p>\n The original has a recap of what happened in the previous episode before the title card. In the dub, they keep the recap, but they frame it with new dialogue and recycled clips from Jillian, Dr. Goodman, Sarah, and Tony. They\u2019re recapping the footage from Flint\u2019s adventure that was acquired by Pterry to see if they can find the Land of Dread with it. (Although, a clip or two couldn\u2019t have been captured with Pterry since he wasn\u2019t there\u2026) It\u2019s not a bad change, to be honest. Although, I don\u2019t really understand what data they could collect on his location just from those clips.<\/p>\n Our actual final historical figure of the series is Yang Yuhuan, also known as Yang Guifei<\/a>. This is more or less a technicality, though, because she\u2019s not the focus of the episode and doesn\u2019t hang around long. She invites Kyoichiro into Emperor Gensou\u2019s harem and introduces herself. In the dub, she doesn\u2019t mention a harem or Gensou. She just says this is a court and introduces herself as Yang Guifei.<\/p>\n Yang just tells the girls to take care of Kyoichiro. In the dub, she tells him they need a dance partner.<\/p>\n Gera likes to say his name and ends a lot of his sentences with -gera. Like with most instances of this type of stuff happening in any anime, this has been removed.<\/p>\n Name Plate Removed.<\/p>\n Subbed:<\/p>\n Dubbed:<\/p>\n They insert a repeat shot of Gera after the shot of the screen to continue his monologue in the dub.<\/p>\n TP Lady says she hates mushrooms. In the dub, she says he\u2019s out and they\u2019re in.<\/p>\n Name Change<\/b>: Gera is changed to Ominito\u2026\u2026.I have even less of a clue than normal.<\/p>\n Ammon mocked TP Lady for having such angry outbursts after being dumped by a guy. Bindi mocks her for being tricked in the first place, which is more cruel if you ask me.<\/p>\n Bindi calls TP Lady and old hag, which is why she grabs her. In the dub, she tells Petra to be quiet.<\/p>\n Gera says he wants Genshi to have some fun. In the dub, he says it\u2019s Flint\u2019s birthday and it\u2019s time to light the quake\u2026\u2026\u2026..because\u2026..he\u2019s gonna make an earthquake\u2026..That was one of the dumbest jokes I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n Genshi says \u201cWhat is this?\u201d in regards to the coin. In the dub, Flint says \u201cIt\u2019s a mushroom coin!\u201d<\/p>\n Dyna asks what the coin is. In the dub, he says he\u2019s hungry and wonders if he can eat the coin.<\/p>\n Putera asks what\u2019s up with this cave. In the dub, he tells everyone to hang on because it appears the cave is bottomless\u2026..What\u2019s the point of hanging on while falling if the cave is bottomless?<\/p>\n Gera says that\u2019s a nice fall. In the dub, he says he can start his own reality show\u2026..featuring people falling down a hole?<\/p>\n The next part is kept, which makes Pterry\u2019s changed line seem weird considering he\u2019s now telling Dino and Mite to let go when he just said to hold on.<\/p>\n Oh god\u2026..Dyna and Mite say that the reason they\u2019re so loyal to TP Lady is because she\u2019s their lifesaver. In the dub, Mite says their story is personal, and Dino doesn\u2019t want to tell it because he wants to hold out for a book deal on their life story and doesn\u2019t want to spoil the big surprise. They reverse and replay this sequence with Dyna and Mite to have Mite ask if he\u2019s in the book. What was the purpose of that? Absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n Genshi asks what a lifesaver is, and Ototan gets an exasperated look while saying he\u2019ll explain it to Genshi later. In the dub, Flint promises he\u2019ll keep their secret, and Rocky, with an exasperated expression for some reason, and also in Pig Latin, for some reason, tells Flint to look a Mite\u2019s stomach.<\/p>\n So\u2026.*sigh*\u2026\u2026This whole time\u2026\u2026.we\u2019ve been meant to think Dyna and Mite are human? When Mite has green skin, no nose, and no ears?\u2026.and Dyna has like fins or gills or whatever those are on his face along with no ears?<\/p>\n Okie\u2026.dokie\u2026.<\/p>\n Dyna admits that they\u2019re not human. In the dub, in response to Mite saying the big secret of the book has been revealed, Dino wonders if Shakespeare had similar problems.<\/p>\n The group responding in shock to the news that Dyna and Mite aren\u2019t human is removed.<\/p>\n Both TP Lady and Petra say they don\u2019t care, but Petra\u2019s a little more of a jerk by saying she doesn\u2019t care because Dyna and Mite aren\u2019t even human.<\/p>\n It feels like they prematurely cut off Ominito\u2019s line when he says \u201cYou\u2019re going down!\u201d in the dub.<\/p>\n Dyna apologizes to Genshi, and Mite says they must be pretty heavy. Genshi responds by saying he\u2019s fine. In the dub, Dino asks how Mite\u2019s back is, he says it\u2019s okay, and Flint says they\u2019re light as a feather.<\/p>\n Putera tells Genshi that there are giant mushrooms blocking the path. In the dub, he says to stay back until they can determine what kind of mushrooms these are\u2026.before they show that there are mushrooms.<\/p>\n Oh my god\u2026.they put Sora back in Playboy-bunny-esque fetish clothes again\u2026\u2026.What the hell? I guess it\u2019s not as risque as the other outfit, but still, what the hell?<\/p>\n Tony responding to seeing his double on screen is switched to after the group shot from behind instead of immediately following the first shot of the double.<\/p>\n Also\u2026\u2026what is the logic with these things? Sora is shown in a maid\/bunny outfit. We have Ototan looking incredibly evil. Kyoichiro is in his full vampire form\u2026.and Tokio\u2026.just has angel wings.<\/p>\n Yamato says that they\u2019re using the images of Sora, Tokio, Ototan and Kyoichiro to make Genshi lose the will to fight, which would be a good idea\u2026.if 1) He didn\u2019t witness these mushrooms turning into his friends, so he knows they\u2019re not his actual friends, 2) They didn\u2019t make them giant versions to further differentiate them from the originals and 3) Didn\u2019t put them in weird outfits or change them in a significant way to even further separate them from the originals.<\/p>\n In the dub, Goodman just says he doesn\u2019t know how they\u2019re making these doubles.<\/p>\n I find it funny that the bunny hammer says \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d when it strikes. This isn\u2019t mirrored in the dub.<\/p>\n Genshi says he knows they\u2019re fakes but\u2026.then he trails off. In the dub, he asks how they can be sure they\u2019re fakes\u2026\u2026..Ahem. *points to list above*<\/p>\n When the bunny strike pops on screen, it says \u201cI\u2019m sorry!\u201d again. In the dub, it says\u2026.\u201dRabbit up\u201d? I can\u2019t hear it clearly.<\/p>\n Kyoichiro says he has a bad feeling about this. In the dub, he says \u201cEw, those mushrooms smell.\u201d<\/p>\n Sound design nitpicking: Ammon sounds much further away than Bindi does. They\u2019re in a cave, and she\u2019s in a room at the end of the corridor. Why would Bindi sound like she\u2019s right next to them?<\/p>\n So\u2026.are Dyna and Mite just healed of their leg wounds now?<\/p>\n TP Lady yelling at Genshi is switched from after Genshi hits the cage to after Pterry points out the slot machine, so it kinda looks like she\u2019s blowing her top for no reason.<\/p>\n Rocky: \u201cAlways put in the max, son.\u201d\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.Saban\u2026..did you just give gambling advice\u2026..to children?\u2026.Did you just give AWFUL gambling advice to children?<\/p>\n The part with Gera in front of a beach is supposed to just be his fantasy about achieving his dream of beating Genshi. In the dub, they have him say that defeating Flint will grant him freedom to leave this place and finally be able to see the sun, which means they\u2019re kinda making him a bit sympathetic right now as it implies he\u2019s a prisoner of the Dark Lord.<\/p>\n No name plate on Gera\u2019s bad transformation. Hm.<\/p>\n Putera says those were laughing mushrooms. In the dub, he tells Flint he shouldn\u2019t eat wild mushrooms.<\/p>\n Genshi says it hurts. Flint says he\u2019s full\u2026.yeah\u2026..I\u2019m sure FLINT\u2026is full from a few mouthfuls of mushrooms.<\/p>\n Genshi says he\u2019s paralyzed, and Putera says those were paralyzing mushrooms. In the dub, he says he feels kinda sick, and Pterry says he shouldn\u2019t have eaten so much.<\/p>\n Why are all these idiots leaving their mouths wide open when they\u2019re being attacked by the mushrooms and then swallowing the mushrooms when they get into their mouths? Genshi I kinda understand because he\u2019s a pig, but why Dyna and Mite?<\/p>\n TP Lady says if they won\u2019t obey her words, then they\u2019ll get punishment. Then she hits them over and over. In the dub, she says if they won\u2019t stop she\u2019ll \u201cmake the big face\u201d\u2026.whatever that means. The hitting is removed.<\/p>\n Gera says this is a happy time but also a sad one \u2013 he\u2019s very emotionally confused. In the dub, he says this is great, but he still has to obey the Dark Lord. He\u2019ll always be \u201csecond toadstool.\u201d<\/p>\n Name Change<\/b>: Super Comet is changed to Orbit Master.<\/p>\n Name Plate Removed.<\/p>\n Subbed:<\/p>\n Dubbed:<\/p>\n Gera says \u201cGoing down!\u201d Ominito says he hopes he doesn\u2019t end up in some soup.<\/p>\n Gera says that\u2019s to be expected of Genshi. In the dub, he says he\u2019s not cut out for this and that he might be able to find work in a salad or a nice lasagna. Get it?\u2026.Because he\u2019s a mushroom. It\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n They add an establishing shot of the lab after the shot of Unita.<\/p>\n Sora says Genshi didn\u2019t stand a chance against the Masked Man. In the dub, she says he had them as confused as Tony is with algebraic equations.<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n Not gonna lie, this episode was a tiny bit disappointing. I had hoped that Dyna and Mite being turned against TP Lady would result in some more emotion than what we got, and while we did get some niceness between the trio, it wasn\u2019t a satisfying amount if you ask me.<\/p>\n It is a wobbly line to walk considering their typical relationship and just how TP Lady typically is. You don\u2019t want to make it too emotional because it will come off as unearned or even out of character, but you don\u2019t want to it to be so unemotional that it doesn\u2019t hit at least a small chord with your audience. I think they got somewhere in the middle leaning toward the former, though. It was fairly well done, but still not all that sweet.<\/p>\n I find it weird that they said TP Lady turned them human in her lab. Since when was TP Lady a biologist?<\/p>\n Gera was most definitely a disappointing second-to-final boss. Half the episode was just him using various cave traps in the Land of Dread. The only one he did himself was the mushroom doubles, and that wasn\u2019t all that great. The fact that the mushroom doubles thing nearly worked on Genshi is lame for all the reasons I listed. I know they LOOK like his friends, but that doesn\u2019t change the fact that he KNOWS they\u2019re mushrooms\u2026..and that they don\u2019t even fully look like his friends, really.<\/p>\n What I assume is named Gera-Kon is a little more interesting because he clearly has a lot of mushrooms that cause various effects. However, you need to ingest the mushrooms for the effects to work, and if you have half a brain you should never be affected by Gera-Kon\u2019s powers\u2026.but because Genshi has less than half a brain, he opens up his mouth and eats them as they\u2019re shot at him over and over. And then Dyna and Mite stupidly open wide and eat the mushrooms too. I know they\u2019re stupid as well, but come on.<\/p>\n Super Comet\u2019s debut was also lackluster. She has such vague powers. Is it really just a superpowerful version of her original encouragement power? Pretty decent design, though.<\/p>\n The Masked Man coming in and blowing everyone away was alright. Although, if he\u2019s so powerful, I don\u2019t understand why he hasn\u2019t just been appearing to Genshi and the others himself. I know supervillains tend to have a thing about letting their lackeys do the dirty work and they only get involved when they need to, but he beat Genshi and everyone else in like a minute and a half.<\/p>\n This wasn\u2019t a bad episode at all, don\u2019t get me wrong. It\u2019s just a bit underwhelming, especially considering we\u2019re so close to the grand finale. I was just expecting a bit more oomph.<\/p>\n My favorite parts were the group being very understanding and kind to Dyna and Mite and even TP Lady. All the shit they\u2019ve put them through over the series, and they still find it within themselves to care about them. Flint in particular is just a sweet kid.<\/p>\n Next time, the penultimate episode \u2013 all of Genshi\u2019s Space-Time Monster friends are sent in to help him, but the Masked Man bad transforms them all. Can Genshi win a fight against his friends?<\/b><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fiddletwix.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/screenshot-2025-04-14-221746.png\")
