Pre-finale episode gets the job done and has some fun parts, but lacks the wow factor.

"Great"

Hidden Fortress is one of my favorite episodes of season 1. However, in my opinion, the majority of season 1 wasn't very good when put next to later episodes.

In general this was a good episode. The scenes where the Monkey Team had to escape from the Hidden Fortress were fun, the opening grabs people, the best villian in the series (IMO) returns, and everything is put in it's place for the season finale.

And yet, there were a lot of points it came across cheesy.

My main beef was the whole chosen one bit. I mean, that was in all honesty cheese city. The need for Chiro to be some sort of Chosen being is questionable on it's own, but it would have been written differently and I could have been happy with it. I mean, Star Wars was able to make the whole chosen one thing intreresting. I'm not saying rip off what Star Wars did (as if the show hasn't before) but it could have just been..... deeper. Deeper's probbaly the word I'm going for.

Also, the characetrs didn't shine in this well most of the time. The dialog seemed forced. Just not great dialog. Bad dialog totally takes down an episode for me.

So, decent episode, but not fantastic.moreless

WOW! And here he comes, my favorite-villian of the show! The one! The only! Mandarin has once again stepped up on the stage!!! And now he is bigger, stronger and more evil then before!!! This is exactly what I have been waiting for! Its so exiting when he shows of his new weapons! But it looked like to me that he still wants Chiro to "realise his true potential"! And when he took Chiro in his gigantic hand, you could hear a cracking sound! I really dont want to know what it was, but I personally think it was Chiros ribs that took a second damage!!! VIVA LA MANDARIN!!!moreless

I gasped. Yes, it's true. I was so totally shocked when Antauri revealed Chiro's fate to him. It was obvious that Chiro was special, but he actually has a title!!! "The Chosen One!!!" I was satsified that during this episode, Chiro didn't let his specialness go to his head. He kept his cool, which is why he's such an awesome leader.

There was a lot of gasping and laughing and crying and screaming going on during this ep, especially at the end when I realized that I would have to wait a month to see Part Two. And boy, did I scream! Luckily, when I was finally able to piece this ep to its sequel, was I absolutely satsified by the product.

This episode delivers without question.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Before Gibson is frozen, just the tip of his drill is destroyed. When Chiro thaws him out, though, his entire drill is gone. How did this happen. Edit
- Nova comments about the strange appearance of the supreme destructor as if she's surprised by it's appearance. However, her and the rest of the team had already seen it on the monitor before, so her surprise at this point does not make sense. Edit
- When the monkeys are looking at Mandarin on the screen, Mandarin's pupils are purple, not red like they should be. (this could be because of the screen or your tv because on mine it has just a purple tinge because of the screen.) Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Jinmay's few lines at the beginning of the episode are not done by Ashley Johnson, but by Kari Wahlgren. Edit
- Mandarin has been rebuilt into a muscular cyborg, with more weapons than he's had before. Edit
- The eleventh episode to air on Jetix UK. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Chiro: Why? Why would anyone do this? Jinmay was just a girl. Well, more than that actually. But with that creepy monkey Sakko gone, she wouldn't hurt anyone. Skeleton King... he wouldn't need a reason to do this. Edit
- (after the Super Robot melts the ice that covered Gibson's body) Gibson: This is not good, I could be frozen! (looks around) Oh dear, I was. Edit
- (as Gibson made a plan) Otto: Will that even work? Sprx-77: If Gibson says it will, then that's good enough for me. Gibson: Why, thank you Sprx. Srpx-77: Yeah, well... let's get going. Edit
