Anyway, since the episode brought up Leo liking cute girls, of course the one who approached them about the Bird-Man is a cute girl, and not surprising, Leo falls head over heels for her. What makes it more interesting is that the girl has her eyes set on Yamato and the only one who notices it is Amu. Now to the Bird-Man stuff in this episode, it was short, but it gives you an idea about this bird's flight plan.
Now back to the main plot of the episode, Leo being Leo decides to show off and instead of following the path that leads them directly to the summit, Leo instead uses his animal instincts to get there, causing them to get lost in the mountains. This is when I realized something about Leo; he's reckless when it comes to everything. Whether it has something to do with girls or fighting, heck, even running his instincts wild, Leo is one reckless lion... and that's what makes him a unique asset to the team.
Because of this rather wild move, he finally faces the Dethgalien responsible to these traps, revealing that the traps were set so that no one will distract him in his plan to drain the mountain's life. What happens next is Leo at his most desperate and his weakest fighting the enemy. It's an amazing sight to see and though he lost and bruised badly, Yamato's eventual appearance made him realize why he is needed in the team and why he needs to continue on fighting. Man, this episode knows how to strike a good balance between the focus on both characters.
The giant battle was interesting in a sense that this is the first time we saw Wild Zyuoh King use King Sword in battle, not only that, they made the King Sword look good in this fight. Like it got me excited to see an old toy in battle again. But since this episode will introduce a new toy and the sword was knocked out from its hand, they pick up the Axe Rock and much to their surprise, it turned into the Cube Kuma.
As expected, they defeat the player with the new weapon, and finally, Leo tells Yamato that the girl has a crush on him. When they finally confront her about it, we learned that the reason why she has a crush on Yamato was because he resembles her pet parakeet! Well that is one twist I didn't expect. A hilarious twist that I will not be surprised if they will at least poke fun on Yamato looking like a parakeet in a later episode.
