Some people think Kick Hopper was fatally injured while fighting Punch Hopper (or allowed himself to be, so they could die together) and was dying when he gave his little speech at the end. It's all moot anyway cos they're both alive again by Decade :laugh:
There were rumours about Gamel dying or appearing to die but then coming back? IIRC they came from the same person who was right about Kazari working with Maki ...
