The second episode of Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity episode two, titled “Twin Blades”, is a high-octane follow-up that successfully builds on the multiverse premise introduced in the premiere. This episode marks the full debut of Space Sheriff Gavan Bushido, the blue-and-silver armored protector of MultiEarth Λ8018. The relationship between Red and Bushido was somewhat rocky at first but they opened up and we see Bushido is an android
Visually, the episode is a treat for tokusatsu fans, particularly with the introduction of Gavan Bushido’s sleek combat suit and traditional-music-inspired “Jouchaku” sequence. The action choreography remains a highlight, featuring an impressive battle in the modern reimagining of Makuu Space. This sequence allows both heroes to showcase their unique fighting styles, with Bushido utilizing twin blades and a finishing move that converts his second sword into a hilt for the first, a design choice that adds a distinct flair to his character.
A standout element of this episode is the introduction of the Cosmo Gavarion GC-R, the giant robot form of Reiji’s dimensional ship. In a humorous nod to the show’s “Archives Division” setting, the transformation requires a tedious series of bureaucratic approvals from the Galaxy Federal Police’s higher-ups. This blend of grounded, almost mundane administrative hurdles with high-stakes sci-fi combat gives the series a unique personality that distinguishes it from more traditional Super Sentai or Kamen Rider entries.
Narratively, the “Twin Blades” arc resolves the sibling conflict involving the rebellion leader Kuzumi and his sister Miharu. While some viewers found the pace a bit fast, the emotional exchange between Setsuna and Reiji—highlighted by Setsuna’s cold admission about his lack of human emotion—adds a layer of depth to their burgeoning partnership. The episode concludes by setting the stage for the next dimensional jump, teasing the arrival of Gavan Luminous.
Overall, episode 2 is a strong showing that refines the series’ formula. By leaning into the “Project R.E.D.” initiative’s focus on diverse heroes across the multiverse, it creates an engaging dynamic that feels both nostalgic and fresh. While the ending dance sequence remains a point of contention among some fans, the core elements—charismatic leads, innovative suit designs, and polished CGI—suggest that Gavan Infinity is on track to be a definitive modern metal hero series.
