I really liked that fight. I liked that other than the one cool running back-flip that Build did it was basically just a lot of punching in an enclosed area, that made it seem much more brutal and visceral than the usual acrobatic choreography.
Also I must be getting soft in my adult years because seeing Misora with tears in her eyes crying really messes with my emotions. It triggers sympathy in a way I wouldn't have imagined a tv show could do. ..maybe I'm just a softie for a sweet girl in tears. But it's sort of heartbreaking to see her so upset. Putting Sentos life in her hands was kind of a dick move. Should've had that discussion with Banjo imo. That's way too much burden to just dump on Misora. She was breaking just from the thought and stress of it. Sento has good intentions but he's pretty selfish actually. I still think Black Hazard is scary. Especially when it takes over his brain and he just goes into 'Mindless Kill-Mode'. He just becomes an Alpha Predator and that's it,..everything must die. Did anyone else notice that the self-destruct bottle was the top of the FullFull Bottle or was it just me? |

So based off that last moment in the Grease fight, it appears that the Hazard forms can use the weapons and abilities of the Best Match it uses.
It's a good thing he didn't use any of his crazier Best Matches then, NinninComic's duplication ability, or GorillaMond's ability to encase stuff in diamond and then smash them to pieces, are the last powers I want Build to have access to while going on a mindless killing spree. Also, Sento once again appears to lose all memory of what happens after he goes in a murderous rampage, so him waking up from after the battle must've been quite a shock. Imagine how scary it would be going into a extremely high stakes fight only to lose consciousness 2/3rds of the way through with your last thoughts being that either you or your opponent could be dead by the end of the fight. Speaking of which, while I do find Sento's decision to give Misora the kill-switch very insensitive to her feelings on the matter. I'd also like to take a moment to say: Good lord Sento, you actually made a kill-switch for this?! Seriously, after all that training he had in the YouTube Special to increase his Hazard Level and to control himself longer, he still decides to build a device that kills him in case of emergency. That is on par with Emu telling Poppy to shoot him with the Buggle Driver Zwei to prove she's a truly evil, and then holding the its barrel up to his chest when she refuses. |

I love these weekly threads because ya'll will point out something I missed or present a scene from another point of view.
Always a good read. |

Finally had time to watch the subs. While not quite as good as last episode, that was quite a high standard to meet. Even compared to 21 though, this was fantastic. Amazing and brutal fight, Grease and Build letting loose with everything they had. Definitely a bit worried about Sawatari's chances of survival after this point though. Would not put it past this show to kill a major character like that

Yes, last week was a very high bar to meet, but that entire conversation with Misora and Sento was just a very well done continuation of this. This series is crushing it every week. The last Rider series I felt was this deep was Faiz.
Which really brings a question to light. These are characters that are branded as heroes, but in some form are really anti-heroes because their powers are derived from some form of what they're fighting. Does that make them tools/victims of circumstance, or are they really heroes? The separate states in Build chose to use these Riders as their weapons. Gaim was very much the same. Are they allowed dignity even if they're no longer human? That's where I feel they're going with this series. To show that war isn't just about people being tools.

This episode is just as good as last episode IMO. Misora was a particular standout. Her actress is fantastic (as is pretty much everyone else in the cast) and even though I saw it coming, Banjo coming in to stop Sento from killing Kazumi had me damn near jumping for joy because of how well everything was executed.
I've also gotta say that the idea of entire wars being settled via two Kamen Riders beating the shit out of each other is such an awesome idea that I want to see it in future series. Also....I'll never get tired of BloodStalk being a manipulative asshole. He's playing literally the entire cast of the show and it is beyond entertaining. And of course, we gotta talk about Kamen Rider Rogue, who's first appearance is so badass. It's actually interesting because while we know his Rider name from scans, they didn't actually mention it and I don't know if they'll mention it next episode either. So I can totally buy how people who haven't spoiled themselves wouldn't be able to easily figure out that it's Gentoku, especially given the entire change in motif. Overall, Build continues to be, well, Build and that is nothing but a good thing.
