After some rewatch, I think there's one "never mentioned" theme from king-ohger. That's "grief".
Almost all of the ranger's behaviors (both good and bad) are trauma responses. I also want to yap about how Gira goes through 5 stages of grief in the first episode and how both Himeno and Jeramie achieve the "acceptance" stage but my english isn't good enough to explain.
Don't worry! I understands what u mean, my english ain't that good either,
I had a thought about this too, every single kings deals with grief and losing dearest one, gira with losing memories of his past and don't want to lose his orphanage family, racles losing gira and his parents, rita with karras, himeno and jeramie who lost both of their parents,kaguragi who saw iroki sacrified herself for toufu, and yanma with his oldman,
And despite all of what happened to them in the past, they choose to move forward and protect what they have now, that's why i love king ohger so much .
what connected himeno and jeramie on ep 46 isn't just grodie who have a deal with them and their parents', but the weight of grief they carried their whole life, and what decision should they take in the end,
until now i still don't get it when they said 'death is the beauty of life', yeah maybe it makes us value our life more, knowing that death awaits us, but is the pain of people who being left by their beloved one is really worth it?
or maybe it's just me who haven't reached 'acceptance' stage like jeramie and himeno
here's a gira scene that got me thinking the whole day
