I'm liking Grease. Especially now that I've seen the suit in action and the Rider Kick, I'm definitely liking it.
Builds phone suit with the giant Phone Shield and the conversation icon on his shoulder was so stupid looking. Kind of took me out of the fight because all I could think about was how incredibly stupid he looked. I really seem to only like 2-3 of Builds suits and the rest I just find really stupid looking. To the point of being distracting. Misora's idol status saving her,...I did not see that coming. I also thought she'd be a long lost sister or something. The way Grease 'fan-boi'd' at the end was pretty funny. |
I had completely forgotten about the Mii-chan thing to be honest. That's a pretty good way to make use of it, though.

So, I bet that the scans with Cross-Z and Build fighting were due to the berserker nature of the Schlash Driver. I was wondering how they would handle it, and I think I would prefer it this way compared to forced drama. I'm getting a bit worried about Ryuuga now though! Sento also continues to wow be as a main character, he kind of reminds me of the charm of Shotaro from W, even though they are on the surface very different types of characters.
I can't wait to see RabbitTank Hazard in action, it looked slick in the scans. |
You know the whole berserk nature of the Schlash Driver being similar to the effects of someone bathed in the light of Pandora's Box made me think of an interesting scenario.
What if Ryuga masters the berserk nature and manages to completely overpower the bad side effects. So much so that he's the key to reverting everyone affected by Pandora's Box back to their normal sane selves. That being said, I do like how recent Riders have been doing moments for why the hero doesn't have all his gear with him. Emu's was hilarious in that it was his day off so he had the minimum amount of Gashat's on him while in Sento's case, it was smart planning, he gets to show off some new Best Matches and he had enough to where he'd be able to be diverse enough without having to resort to the Touto Bottles. Also Grease's twist at the end with Misora was hilarious, it was a good way to bring back Misora's Idol Aspect that was dropped fairly soon-ish. |

It shouldn't be a shock how consistently amazing Build is anymore, but I still find myself surprised every week at how much I enjoy this show. The writing is absolutely stellar and having the Sclash Driver present an inherent danger to whoever uses it is further proof of that. I've talked about this a million times but giving upgrades in Kamen Rider some kind of limitation is a win-win for everyone involved and they should just do it all the time. It helps the writer(s) keep things less cluttered, it makes the narratives more engaging for the viewer, and the whole forbidden fruit angle only serves to make Bandai's prospective customers want their toys all the more.
This isn't even the only cool thing about this episode (Sento's great as ever despite his meta complaining to Ryuuga, Grease left an excellent first impression), but I can't properly express how happy it makes me to see this stuff in these shows. They're even doing the same thing with Build's next upgrade, just in case it wasn't apparent how much this show gets it already. Just bring back the bike action and Rabbit Tank and I don't think I'd have a single thing left to complain about. EDIT: Wait! I got so caught up in how great this episode was I forgot to mention that the music right after Grease transforms before the opening is inexplicably from Kyuranger! I don't know if that's a complaint per se, but it's definitely weird. |
I definitely find it weird for riders to keep using old forms when there is no reason at all to do so once thy have more powerful ones. Giving them some kind of reason to avoid using the more powerful forms when they can makes more sense and having some forms even being dangerous can make things more interesting. In this case tying it back to the Pandora's Box effect is actually a smart plot-related move.
I'm wondering if in trying to help Ryuuga with the side effects, Sento doesn't find a cure for the Pandora Box people too? Maybe not until the end of the show, but maybe. Of course, this show has already maid a point of resolving plotlines quickly that for most shows would last an entire season, so who knows? I really don't know what to expect anymore and I don't think I can really say that to the same extent for any other recent Toku show. |

decent sub here if anyone needs it also it seems that grease is also someone whos mind has been screwed over by stalk. also him being a fan of the girl is very otoyo -he is a lot like the character from kiva, with less of the joking side and more of his serious side |
Great episode. Grease makes a nice first impression with some cool fight-scenes (loved the use of the Helicopter Fullbottle a lot here) and this show sets up a whole lot more with Sawatari seeming to suffer from the same memory loss as Sentou, the Sclash Driver not shielding its user against the Nebula Gas properly and the big cliffhanger at the end. I knew this guy would be back, even though I assumed he was Grease :D
I really liked Build's new forms too, Smartphone Wolf especially. "The Lone Online Wolf", OMG :lol It's a bit lame that these can beat the Hard Smash guys even though Sentou needed Rabbit Tank Sparkling last week, and they are immediately gone too, that's a bit disappointing. Oh well, this show continues to impress and entertain so I'm happy to be along for the ride. Quote:
Although you're right, there could still be another connection between the two, which is why Sawatari cares about Miitan in the first place. Quote:
Really? :lol Sorry if I didn't catch the sarcasm here. Quote:

I think I can picture Kazumi & Misora connecting. He would protect her from Hokuto & their prime minister.
And memories might flood back. What if he was one of the subjects experimented by Sento back when he was Katsuragi? He might go killing spree on him for that if those memories came back. |
