[TheRaizin]

Very standard fare episode. My little gripes are only that the mom and Ayaka got together pretty quick, I was suppose a little bit of berating from Ikki, but ah well.

Some few stands outs. The Bat Vistamp is actually already in George's possession and most likely complete. God, how many belts is he working on? Kadota is strangely missing here, too. That's one evidence for our two suspects for Evil. Daiji, since he knows where the Bat Vistamp is, or Kadota whom is missing and the website has the producer teasing us about it. I kinda hope it's Kadota, since I kinda want a little more build up to Daiji becoming a rider.

I like that little part of Vice and Ikki in the dark just talking, with Ikki admitting that Vice may be right. Sweet scene, I wish they'd use Vice like this more in the future.

Ikki disappearing from the picture, which is actually extremely odd considering this is mostly a tech-based season. I'd have thought this would be a thing that happens in Saber! But in terms of the meaning of it, I wonder if they're going to pull a Blade out of it.

The more Ikki uses Revice/collects Vistamps, the more Vice fuses with him or replaces him. The suited Ikki in the opening may seem so. It'd be a neat spin on the classic Kamen Rider trope. We do know that Vice still has ulterior motives and isn't still completely on board with ikki, considering that last part and him just completing ignoring the part where Revi tries to stop Ayaka and just chill at the back.

Edit: I'm liking this family themes going around, as well, actually. Something I forgot as well is the show dives in other aspects of Families. I know it may be a bit tough for their target audience but I wouldn't mind if it tackles stuff like divorce, abuse, and orphaned kids. The show already doing parent neglect gives me a bit of hope.
