The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World [Season 1 Episode 12]

The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World – Season 1, Episode 12: A Fittingly Chaotic Finale

If you’ve been following The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World, you already know it’s a wild ride—part Super Sentai parody, part isekai adventure, and all-around chaotic fun. Episode 12, the season finale, doesn’t disappoint. It’s packed with emotional punches, explosive battles, and just enough unanswered questions to leave fans begging for a second season.

A Quick Recap

For those who need a refresher: Tougo Asagaki, our titular Red Ranger, was transported to another world mid-battle against the evil “Relationship Enders.” In this new world, he becomes Kizuna Red, an adventurer with a flair for dramatic heroics. Alongside his new companion, the mage Yihdra Arvoln, Tougo’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Episode 12 caps off his first major arc with a climactic showdown against the Royal Demons, while also delving deeper into his tragic past.

The Good: Emotional Depth and Killer Action

One thing fans unanimously praised was the episode’s emotional weight. Tougo’s backstory—losing his parents and his mentor, Kizuna Silver—was finally explored in depth. As one fan put it, “That flashback with Silver getting killed is brutal. Traumatizing for Togo to lose someone like that.” The show doesn’t shy away from the pain, and it makes Tougo’s berserk transformation into Kizuna Black all the more impactful.

The animation during the fight scenes also got a lot of love. “Kizuna Black slaughtered those demons damn. That’s some power,” one viewer noted. The shift from Tougo’s usual optimistic demeanor to a rage-fueled berserker was a highlight, and the voice acting sold every moment of his anguish.

The Bad: Pacing and Rushed Resolutions

Not everything landed perfectly, though. A common critique was the episode’s pacing. “It felt like they were cramming two episodes into one,” one fan observed. The finale juggled multiple plot threads—Tougo’s past, the Royal Demon battle, and the post-credits tease of the Kizuna Five back on Earth—and some felt it could’ve used more breathing room.

Another point of contention was the lack of closure for Tougo and Yihdra’s relationship. While their dynamic has been a fan favorite, the finale didn’t give them a definitive moment. “All it was missing was a Yihdra/Togo confession,” lamented one viewer. Still, others appreciated the subtlety, with one commenter joking, “Red is into girls with big booba, but he’s romantically distant since he lost Silver.”

The Ugly (But Hilarious)

The episode wasn’t without its quirks. The sudden cut to Tougo’s parents’ photos mid-dramatic moment had fans split between “I feel bad but it was funny” and “That’s a comedy cut, I can’t take it any other way.” And let’s not forget the Royal Demons, which one fan compared to “something goofy monsters in the latter seasons of Sailor Moon might pull.”

The Verdict: A Solid 8/10

Despite its flaws, Episode 12 delivered a satisfying conclusion to the season. It balanced action, emotion, and humor in a way that felt true to the show’s spirit. The post-credits scene—revealing that the Kizuna Five on Earth are aware of Tougo’s survival—has fans buzzing with theories. “Hope we get another season even if just to see Red’s new squad in their own dedicated Kizuna suits,” one hopeful viewer wrote.

Final Thoughts

The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World started as a parody but evolved into something with its own charm. As one fan perfectly summarized, “It ended up changing from a Toku parody into a proper isekai adventure with its own charm.” Whether you’re here for the action, the humor, or the surprisingly deep lore, this finale left enough threads dangling to keep us hooked.

Here’s hoping for a Season 2 announcement soon—because if there’s one thing fans agree on, it’s that Tougo’s adventure is far from over.

Rating: 8/10 – A chaotic, emotional, and fun ride that leaves you wanting more.
