A Tearful Connection with Hikaru
or Hikaru, The Engagement of Tears
or Les faiseurs de ténèbres (The Dark Makers)
Hikaru is feeling good about herself since the previous episode. She goes horseback riding with Daisuke to train to be a better pilot. Daisuke leaves her in the dust. She is unhappy. He acts as though he is doing her a favor.
Professor Umon tells Daisuke and Kouji about photos quantum, an energy source that is invisible to the naked eye, visible only with special goggles. It is more powerful than super uranium and safer. They need to retrieve some so they come up with a plan.
Duke Fleed in Grendizer creates a distraction while Kouji in Double Spazer goes to retrieve the super energy source. Gandal sends several minifos and a saucer beast out to deal with Grendizer, whom he suspects is looking for Skull Moon Base. Zuril suspects that Duke Fleed is up to to something else but he isn't sure what it is.
Zuril figures out that Grendizer is creating a distraction but he doesn't know why. He goes looking and finds Double Spazer. He orders minifos to attack Double Spazer. They do but Kouji uses the ship's weapons to destroy some of them and then gets away. He returns to the space center.
Kouji is in bad shape, once again. He needs to lay down. Hikaru looks after him until she sees that Grendizer needs help in his fight with the saucer beast. She takes off in Double Spazer and helps Grendizer defeat the saucer beast.
Danbei learns from Goro that Daisuke is Duke Fleed.
Daisuke learns to accept that Hikaru is part of the team fighting against the Vegans.
Once again there is little doubt in my mind as to why this is a key episode. It is funny how quickly Hikaru picked up the details of piloting Double Spazer.
This is an okay episode. It feels like they are laying ground work here for something bigger, or at least I hope they are.
