Ikki... You'll be alright.
|
So... That might change with the subs, but... Were they going for drama, or was this supposed to be comedic?
I think they were going for the former, but... I don't know, this honestly just felt hilarious to me. Both Kagero and the Deadman felt more like malicious clowns than legitimate threats to me... I really don't know what to think of this one... And about my reaction to it. |
Back in the magazine scans, I thought Ikki was actually going to invite Hiromi and George, but no they were actually just on watch. Which is better, honestly. I love seeing Hiromi eyeing Daiji, also it kinda shows just how much the show was rewritten to fit Hiromi. The episode could have removed Hiromi entirely and not much would change, just that the Deadmans wouldn't transform into kaijin or Vice would be sidelined instead to fight them.
Though, I wonder if the Deadmans revealing themselves already ruins Aguilera's "Achilles' heel" plan, seeing as Julio had already revealed himself to Sakura's eyes. Unless they have it so she somehow didn't see that the episode later. George seems to have taken an interest into Genta, and I'm legitimate looking forward to that. He kinda sucks being a father, but he has the heart at least and is a well-meaning guy. I wonder if he'll become a rider/was a rider. Interesting that Vice now has a little more agency. Going to meet George by himself, and the chat logs where he attempts to calm down Ikki. I want more of that, that Vice. I want more of him being his own character as opposed to living rent free in Ikki's head. Evil. I love the suit, Live is going to have to try really hard to win me over because I love Kagerou's chuuni fuckery and Evil's suit. So, I'm not really sure how much I'll prefer Daiji being Live as opposed to Kagerou being Evil. The belt, however... is kinda whack and not really cool looking and sounding as well. https://i.imgur.com/YtyGgdA.jpg Quote:

I wonder what's going on with that customer family as well. I'm unable to say if their scenes/reactions are here for comedy or if there's something in the plot about them.
I want to take it as a red herring for comedy purpose, but their scene + the scene with George about the dad look a bit like this as well. Both can't be red herrings right ? that would be too much. |
Nope, the subs did not help from getting the feeling that the Deadman are more a group of costume shop employees on a power trip and Kagero being a teenager screaming "IT'S NOT A PHASE MOM!" after living in a Hot Topic for a week, out of my head :D
I'm pretty certain this was not what I was supposed to take away from the episode :D |
I love how Evil's Transformation Standby Loop is just "Eenie, Meenie, miney, mo."
Meanwhile, I think that comedy and drama were both used in this episode. Also, for Layton13 asking whether it was intended to be comedic or dramatic, https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/...52/470/1b5.gif |
No, I get what you mean, but I only got comedic. The drama just didn't hit for me, which made me feel really weird at laughing at Kagero trying to be evil and threatening.

Anything about Kagero wasn't really drama to me. Just standardevilspeech.avi |
After 7 weeks, Yukimi is finally discharged from hospital!
Even while bathing naked with others, George has no sense of personal space and gets really close to Genta. Watch out, Yukimi! George's relationship with Vice seems to have improved since their argument last episode, as he responds politely to Vice's concerns about Ikki and the onsen hotel and playfully boops him on the head with Osutoderuhammer 50. Kagerou seems to be the strongest threat right now, with the Deadmans trio hopelessly unable to get in the way of his scheme to kill Ikki when the Igarashis reach maximum happiness. It's very comedic how they get pushed around by him so easily like they're suddenly become merely nuisances, as it makes them look more sympathetic and shows that their plans don't always work out. Aguilera's so frustrated about him showing up and stealing her focus, Julio's mocking her about it and Olteca's waiting to see what happens next. They're an entertaining group of villains. Tasuke seems to be more than just the friendly unassuming regular patron at Shiawase-Yu we thought he was, as he and his family are staying at the onsen hotel to spy on the Igarashis for some reason. Almost like he used to be like, a ninja, or something, huh? ;) Evil's Henshin is awesome! The way the bats emerge from his shadow and merge to create a giant red-mouthed megabat to swallow him, very awesome! Kind of like how Kagerou is figuratively consuming Daiji, the human stuck living in their own shadow. I guess it's good that Evil got the Jackal Vistamp in exchange for Kong, since Fourze doesn't have a Dark Rider. Demons shows off his Showa powers, using the Vistamps of the first Rider and the first MOTW together. I think it's appropriate how Hiromi got to be the Rider based on Showa, since his type of heroism is a little more old-fashioned with him repeating his very dramatic catchphrase. Ikki and Vice have switched roles again and it's more severe this time, with Revi focusing only on Evil and losing his cool, going against the contract he made with Vice in Episode 2, with the line chat showing Ikki dismissing all of Vice's very valid concerns for their shared life. Vice has to pretty much take responsibility for this fight all on his own, configuring the Revislasher for Revi and trying his best to remind him that they're supposed to be a team. So now it's the devil who's being oppressed by the host. Ikki is so willfully ignorant that he becomes a danger to himself and others. He completely ignores Vice and any suggestion that this trip might be anything other than happy family time. Yukimi's advice is important, that a person who can't smile can't bring smiles to others. Ikki wants so badly for his family to be happy that he pretends that any problems that could get in the way of that don't exist, to the point where even the bad guy Kagerou waging a vendetta on him actually has to intervene and stop him from poisoning himself cause he foolishly refused to listen to Vice's warning. Remix and Machine parallel: .... I can't think of one! There's nothing close enough to Kong to compare with, unfortunately. Which is a shame, since I imagine a gorilla Machine would be pretty strong. |
