I won't say just yet), but I've literally never been as gripped with an episode of Kamen Rider as I was with this one, and I've never come closer to bouncing out of my seat as the moment when Cross-Z comes in to face Build near the end. And the part where Banjou goes "No, we
all
saved you" is like ooooh that's too good.
There are so many emotional beats that need to be hit for episodes 21 and 22 to work at all, and it's ridiculous how much each of those beats is sold. Every character decision, every choice, it all just
lands
. The acting in particular is A++. I still don't love how far the Sento/Misora park scene swings, from a few episodes back, and their scene in 22 maybe shows why? It's got levels to it. It doesn't just start small and go big, it modulates through the scene, and the actors play off of each other. One goes big, the other goes small, then small again, then big, then also big. It feels fluid and real, instead of stage-y. It just pulls you in and makes you believe the emotions of the scene, instead of the dictates of the plot.
And that Cross-Z line! Yes! These are four people who are a family! Goddamn! Totally earned!

I mean,
solidified
? No, there's more than half the show to go. I don't think there's anything that could happen that would make me like it
that much
less, but it's hard to say that definitively. ("Banjou had to go get a job, so meet our new heroes, Kamen Rider Shunpei and Kamen Rider Yurusen!") Plus, I try to keep an open mind, good and bad. I'll watch shows that start bad in case they get good occasionally (THE PHOENIX SPOTLIGHT EPISODES OF WIZARD ARE BRILLIANT), and I'm not afraid to call out a good show if it makes bad choices. Like, my opinion of the whole series won't be solidified until the end credits on episode 49.
But, like, these episodes are
unimpeachable
. Easily in my top 5 Kamen Rider episodes, yeah.
