EPISODE 48
The Komatsubara era closes with ep48, where nothing special happens (honestly, I still have to understand the purpose of this episode); the Authors let anyway Hikaru to have the stage light for a last time, as she saves both male characters from a sure death and mostly receives a beautiful compliment from Koji for her intelligence (when she illustrates her discover about the monster path, he shouts “I always say that no particular escapes to Hikaru!”).
  
  
Goodbye, my dearest “old Hikaru”. Another female character is going to replace you as the star of the show, but you have already revolutionised the approach to female figures in robotic animes. And you can be proud of yourself: you have accomplished your task in such a good way that no mangaka has tried after Grendizer to reprise somehow your character in other productions, just as Daisuke Umon. If Ufo Robot Grendizer can be considered a one-off case in anime history, besides a lot of other reasons there is also your female figure.
But Hikaru is not going luckily to leave the show: despite all contrary circumstances, Katsuta and Nagai decided to keep her alive and kicking. They needed to apply a big change in the storytelling approach towards Hikaru though, and it will be another trick to be discovered – after all it will require for fans only to open more matrioske than usual in order to understand what is really going on in the show. A good training in order to be able to finally open the biggest matrioska of all in ep72 ( )....
