Called obvious. O no subevert expectation with two villains being Ai robots. I really thought Horobi would be having messup earphone ears that he tired of,
|
Oh ho ho holy shit man!
|
Yooooooo this episode is LIT AS F**K
|
I'll wait till the subs come out before I comment on the episode, but for my initial impression: Holy shit!

Fuwa deserves it!

yeah it was a fantastic episode. especially the battle scenes.
We got both MBJ to reveal they are humagears, we got confirmation the shadow guy is Zaia etc... My only tiny complain so far is I'm getting tired of Isamu and Aruto's interaction always being the same. coincidence meeting between the two => a nice humagear is involved => Isamu points his gun at it => Aruto says "see this humagear is nice" There is a difference between "personality" and a forced gimmick/stereotype. Isamu hating humagears is ok. That's his personality. But constantly having him point his gun to humagears who are doing nothing really dangerous every episode is a gimmick and is ridiculous. That's not how you'll give him personality. That's how a manga like Fairy Tail handled its characters and that aspect was really bad |
nah i believe he wwill change starting from today, in fact, he finally found out the one behind the daybreak accident

Hah! They took Scorpio's Rider Kick from Kyuranger and made it even better. Nice.
Anyways, I just had a quick glance over the RAW, pretty cool stuff. We all expected Valkyrie to die early but they came to their senses and killed Vulcan instead :p Just kidding, he will be back of course. But could you imagine if they actually did that? Jesus. I'm a bit sad that Amazing Hercules will be sidelined though. But that makes it easier to skip the DX release if I miss it I suppose. |
I quite disappointed about Horobi are HumaGear.....this really boring.
I think it will be more interesting if Horobi are human. I hope Aruto is human and not Humagear. |
im pretty sure Aruto is human since in the flashback he definitely is a human child...unless he is some kind of prototype with no headgear..xD
this series can turn out similar like Drive lol...replace Roidmudes with HumaGears. Aruto's dad or some other guy could be the final big bad...Jin and Horobi will eventually join the good guys. The former doing willingly maybe halfway...while the latter remains an antihero/antivillain character.. |
Probably my favorite part about Horobi's rider kick are the brief white and black impact frames that occur during it. It really helps sell that it's a powerful and deadly attack.
Also glad to see Horobi is going to be in "No Sell" mode, in that he just tanks everything/counters/dodges with minimal movement. He didn't even have to run to Isamu, he just walked. So it looks like their making good use of Takaiwa as well. |

So suddenly the Terrorist Riders™ are a LOT more powerful. I mean it's not like Jin was doing badly before, but the lot of them just absolutely wrecked Valkyrie at the beginning and proceeded to destroy Vulcan's life too!
Talking of which, looks like next episode is gonna be Fuwa's "oh you saved my life, so I don't hate you now" development. I would almost doubt that due to it usually being much later... but something I've been loving about Zero-One is that it's got a really fast pace to it and mostly getting all the slow stuff done very quickly and out of the way, in pleasant similarities to Build. We technically -have- a Status Quo that we're following, but mysteries are being unveiled at a breakneck pace and as of today it looks like the stakes have been raised even further. If Fuwa does come around to stuff next episode though... that would excite me a lot, because it means he'd have some NEW sort of development to make; and I'd be super interested in seeing what that would be. If he (mostly) gets over his main hurdle that quickly, where does he go next? I will admit that despite enjoying Zero-One so far, he's certainly been the most... uninteresting, by-the-numbers character the show has had? Just about everyone else has something very interesting and different to them, but Fuwa is definitely just the "guy that hates the robots because of a tragic backstory" one. So if they can move beyond that so quick, it'd be awesome! |

Um....HOLY SHIT THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY
Zero-one had been moving at a steady pace building the world, unraveling the plot through seven episodes Episode eight lit the damn place on fire. AIMs was confirmed based on Zaia corp tech They have super robots named Gigers build to defeat horde she of rogue humagears, plus new weapons for riders Dodo is revived and evolved Horobi first henshin He wrecks isamu real bad Love that isamu's rant about Hiden humagears being a threat to humanity led directly to a cut to AIMs gigers getting turned The episode doesn't address where the rogue Giger went after it hacked the hospital Isamu doesn't appear to be up on all of AIMS plotting or doesn't care Yua doesn't share isamus hatred of humagears, seems like a puzzle to be solved |
Also:
I need Figuarts of all these suits IMMEDIATELY HOROBI looks fantastic |
nothing weird if Horobi is stronger than Fuwa or Aruto,
after all, for 12 years he already existed as Rider. also , we dont know what type of Humagear he is , he maybe a martial art teacher. |
Horobi is so powerful, he beat Raiden and took his sword.
|
lol @Blade Fang
Zaia guy that Yua talks to is human. So yes one of the villains will be a human. And I've decided to stop viewing Japanime's kamen rider reviews, he pretty much called all Zero One's episodes "filler" and I'm like wtf. |
Horobi using Katana (two of them) really accentuate his design somehow. Got myself a Shadowrun vibe from him. Maybe this series will evolve into Cyberpunk themed soon?
Also this episode really is a cruel episode. How many people died during that Giger rampage, crushing a HOSPITAL!? |
delete this

Lol I wonder Horobi's Sword is Just for show or he actually gonna use it?
I mean I am down for Kamen rider Raiden...:D As for the episode itself, its very Straight forward Actually and Lots of Action in top of that.... Horobi's Rider Kick is bananas....:lolol Right now my only concern is the show is become predictable and become boring in the middle because i think they Open lot of cards here like there are no secrets or Mystery anymore and this is Just Episode 8... I hope somehow writer can pull off decent story on later episodes without Jarring asspulls.. |
One potential twist would be for MBJ to successfully hack the control satellite to enable them to take over humagears en mass, creating a Terminator Skynet environment
Currently there are two MBJ and small clusters of rogue humagears plus monster of the week. Humans, with Hiden and AIMs still have numbers. If MBJ controlled the satellite, they claim the upper hand and could devastate large sections of humanity at once, turning our AIMS/Hiden crew into a small rebel force. Just a thought |
Wow Horobi isn't messing around, is he? That Rider kick to the throat! I think its lucky Fuwa was using Kong at the time or else he might be dead. The armor definitely saves his life.
|
I hope Fuwa’s dead and will later be rebuilt for Assault Wolf. He needs to let go of his grudge.

Cool episode, cool suits, cool fights,...
uh,... guess we're just going to skip over the fact the 4 story tall robot is still destroying the hospital? He completely disappeared from the episode once he possessed the humagear nurses and doctors. The Riders started fighting and the giant rampaging robot was never mentioned or shown again? ...kind of weak .. that. |
Quote:
The Giger just wasn’t necessary for the fight scene that ended the episode so it wasn't shown again this time. |
yeah that seems weird to me. Show a giant robot rampaging and destroying a hospital and then don't show him again?
And in next weeks preview it sort of looks like they need a hospital? I watched the ending twice and it seems more like they just forgot about that story thread in an effort to show off new stuff/suits/FX. |
less forgot and more saving it for later, they used it to get past the hospitals protections so they could infect the humagear there and " free " them.
Fully destroying it and the humagear there would go against that. |
I know why they used the Giant Robot, I'm just saying there's a giant robot destroying the hospital (and most likely killing people in the process), and the story never came back to that.
Assuming the clip of next weeks show shows them rushing into the hospital because a Rider is hurt,.. what happened to the giant murder-bot that's running around? That's a huge moment to introduce and then completely abandon. Giant robot destroying hospital, what's it doing while they're fighting? Still destroying hospital. What's it doing when they're rushing the injured Rider into the hospital? Still destroying Hospital? I'm not used to seeing something like a Giant Murder Bot in a tv show that gets completely forgotten about. It infects the Humagears and then you never see it again. That's bizarre to me. |
Well, the riders don't exactly have way of dealing with them for now and the dying guy is more urgent.

And dealing with the hacked robots and the present terrorists is priority one since the giant robot isn’t shown rampaging. Quote:
