I know its artistic license but why does Kaito look exactly the same in Helheim after being there for 5 years? There are a lot of weird bits in this episode if you think about it. Gaim disappearing did not get rid of Helheim and the Invess, which kind of makes sense since they are from a separate world. But in the plot of Gaim, the hostile takeover of Earth by Helheim was speeding up which is why Yggdrasil was planning on deploying the Scalar system asap. Wouldn't the cracks have only gotten worse in 5 years unchecked? Unless Gaim's disappearance and therefore the erasure of the Armoured Riders changed that. There's also the fact that Kaito was in Helheim for that long and did not consume the Forbidden Fruit. But these are all minor gripes.
The episode was fine. If anything, I really appreciated it as a visual and auditory tribute to Gaim. They brought back that weird alien effect for the Forest and Invess were present as well. They also revisited locations like the main stage that made it feel particularly nostalgic. Then we have the classic Team Baron dance (5 years later and that's still the only dance they know lol) complete with returning OST so that was a really nice touch. And the "Soiya!" sound when Kouta's face was revealed at the end.
The plot is interesting this time around too. We get to see Gaim Armour in all its ridiculousness right off the bat as the episode starts in media-res. And then the interference of Fruit Jesus Kouta himself... this seems to imply that Kouta can exist independently of the time changes as he is a god. It's really cool and makes him seem so much more legendary than some of the other cast returns, but I kind of hope there is an explanation for it.
And then we have the bulk of the episode, which is the mystery of the two Sougo's. It was actually pretty fun and unique. The side plot with Geiz and Kaito was cool too, it was definitely fun to see him again acting like an edgelord like always. And Another Gaim looks awesome, and while his host isn't a returning character like last arc, they wrote him into the lore of the Gaim universe well enough.
The .5 episode was little more low-key, more revealing of behind-the-scenes stuff, but it was cool to see the different Zi-O helmet concepts. And I did not know they had different props from other Rider shows in the clock shop as well. Very cool.
