HIKARU: THE RENEGOTIATIONS (EPISODES 32-36)
EPISODE 32
After ep30, Grendizer anime concentrates its plots for some episodes mainly on the poisoning injury storyline (eps 32-33-36), but with some remarkable sub-plots. We can see here and there some very interesting changes in Hikaru’s personality, which are necessary in order to let the writers develop in a correct way the “big-bang” of her soon coming new role.
Ep32 is a family-centred episode, and the first real hint about Duke Fleed’s family, plus the first plot about the soon coming spacers. Without analysing it deeply, I think it’s interesting to notice that, as I remarked previously, Hikaru knows about Daisuke’s injury as they exit together at the end of the episode from the Research Centre after he has been “cured” following the battle. And please note that they are chatting when they reach the main door and Goro arrives with his new drawing. It’s a brief moment, but it’s designed clearly.
  
So, once again, even if we are not shown anything explicitly which can “confirm” us the lovestory (a kiss, a proposal, something “classical” I mean), we can see Daisuke and Hikaru acting as they love each other. The look they are exchanging exiting the Centre lasts a fraction of second but it is there, it’s designed and we cannot ignore it.
EPISODE 33
Just as we cannot forget the poisoning injury as the main plot, which from now on is going to let all the other sub-plots have a meaning, like planets receiving light and life from the sun. One of the consequences of Daisuke's sickness and being sentenced to death is Hikaru who is starting to find a way to help him. But how? In the beginning, she thinks that all she can do is to support him psychologically, and it is exactly what happens in eps 32 and 33. In the latter, for example, her words are what let Daisuke find new strengthens in the fight and mostly give him the right idea on how to defeat the monster: he recognises it to be a little animal he played with in Fleed, but completely transformed by vegatron radiations as soon as Hikaru talks to him about the fact he could save Earth as he saved the life of the little bird at the farm.
  
It’s Hikaru that – even if indirectly – saves the situation once more. And this time she is, after all, also responsible of Daisuke’s salvation. It’s the first time, and it won’t be the last one.
