I've said it before that I honestly wouldn't mind only having 280 characters for these, but I'll take them for everything, lol. #Sakakigaiden

This is the final episode for my two anime bros --Nakamura and Nagamori, and they go out on a pretty high note even though I wish they could stay forever.

So thank you in advance

The episode starts with a very cool sequence of the Dark Emperor (I can write out his full name now!) and the narrator commenting on the time for something to happen coming closer....

The Dark Emperor speaks of the time for his grand ambitions coming into play getting closer while the Narrator says the heroes of light will soon have to stand firm.

A legendary scroll has fortold the coming battle of good VS evil, and the Dark Emperor prepares the Dark Prince for the battle.

(Ah the Nagamori/Nakamura angle on the first shot...I'm not crying, you're crying.)

Dark Prince isn't concerned with the legend of the heroes coming true, but the Dark Emperor says he shouldn't get cocky.

Dr. Shadow says he knows about the legendary scroll depicting the battle, but the Dark Prince ain't interested, leaving Shadow on his own....a shame he doesn't remember where it is.

Some interestingly over the top character acting from Shadow --Nagamori/Nakamura I'll miss you guys too.

Oh right, and it just wouldn't be any sequence with the narrator without him experiencing physical pain of some kind.

Back at the lab, the boys are waiting for Grey to get ready for the New Years festivities in town. He overslept the night before counting down the bell's ringing with Rui making them late.

(This episode did air January 3rd 1999 being the first episode of the new year to air, so holy coincidences Bomberman!)

In any case, for once it's not the girl getting ready that's holding the festivities back --since Aka is dressed to impress.

Though to be fair, she's mad because the boys are like "Wow! So pretty....the kimono that is." Aka: THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?! (Actual dialog.)

The kids all have their attractions they'd like to see first upon heading into town, from the temple to the inari statue. (Although all of the eps have Japanese humor, this is the most Japanese episode that the series has.)

Grey says he has a way more awesome spot in mind, but won't tell them until they get there.

Speaking of spots, there's one that's extremely vulnerable right now. Ao wants to tell his Grandpa that his back is out, but Shiro and Kiiro think it's funnier not to. Meanwhile poor Aka's face is as red as her body, lol.

Sh: So this is what it's like to be a victim of Jigglypuff. Ao: I really hate that I let you guys get me into this. Ki: Comedy is about victimization. Shi: It's true, but you shouldn't say it.

Aka sounds like so much of a mom when she's like. "Don't loiter, people we know might be here." Meanwhile Grey is like. "Oh, are you *embarrassed*? Does it feel like you're walking with your pants down in public?"

I'll really miss that Nagamori/Nakamura do this thing where they have moving BG with cute Bomber designs in the foreground.

Also this thing with establishing BG shots --as shown here when Grey finally reveals where their long walk is taking them -- a temple in the hills.

(The BG work in Nakamura/Nagamori episodes is second only to Takahashi ones --they both got really awesome studios.)
#SakakigaidenShow this thread -
Like this for example. Just how worn and old the temple looks in juxtaposition of the BG really brings out the best of both.

Also how Momite is sort of *poured* into the scene with this unique smear/stretch. He doesn't walk in, he doesn't slide in, he trickles in like a liquid.

And then there's this whole sequence. Look at that spin as he creeps Dr. Shadow out

I know you folks out there like smears and stretching, so here ya go, on the house.

But yeah, Dr. Shadow and Momite are already here, and Momite breaks the fourth wall by wishing everyone Happy New Years.
