Kodai Oja Kyoryu King D-Kids Adventure Ryokuryu Densetsu 9

Episode 24 had a lot of things going on, in addition to continuing the Musketeers arc it also had information on Usarapa's past and the debut of a stegosaurus called Armatus. It seemed too much for th episode's runtime but they managed to make things work as well as they could. Then there was the haunted castle episode. This featured the climatic battle of the arc and more focus on working together. The combined attack with Ryuta, Rex and Noratty actually did highlight how much things have changed over the season; also given the amount of effort it took to drive off the Zanjark it seems the villains could easily dominate any following battles during the last arc. Episode 26 had a solution to the previous cliffhanger which while anticlimatic I expected it. The episode did seem like it mostly existed to join the Musketeers arc to the final arc, although it did have a few important plot developments such as Nopis's presence becoming clear to the heroes (and apparently to Ryuta's father, oddly). At first I wondered why only Gigas appeared in the opening theme after the Zanjark members, but so far he fought in more battles than any other Zanjark dinosaur whereas Maximus and Armatus have actually appeared in fewer than some of the minor dinosaurs at this point so it kind of makes sense.
