The Ghost arc has been the best Zi-O has had to offer so far.
Despite Tsukasa's huge presence, it didn't take away from being a Ghost tribute through and through. Takeru played a major role in this episode and got a lot of screen time. He helped Sougo and even piloted the Time Majin to go back to 2015 and prevent the police officer from dying. Though Makoto just being in the past with no real explanation was a little random, it was such a joy to see both characters actually transforming and fighting as Ghost and Specter respectively: something we haven't seen in the show since the Ex-Aid arc. And we even got a mention of Akari and her shiranui particle blaster played a role. Add all this to Takeru's stellar interactions with Sougo and even referencing the idea of ghost's getting hungry from the show proper and we have the best and most faithful Rider tribute yet.
On the Decade side of things, we get to see him use a phase 2 Heisei Rider for the first time, and the ensuing three Ghost's fight was a pleasure to behold. It was also so nostalgic to see the classical dimensional gate effect used, and interesting that it allows Tsukasa to not only transcend dimensions but time as well. The scenes where he asks who Woz is addressing his speeches too and then promptly shutting him up were gold too. And of course, we get to see Tsukasa in all his cockiness showing up in the Clock repair shop to give Sougo a warning - that he will destroy this world - all the while stealing his food.
They nailed Tsukasa and I'm excited to see what role he will play going forward. The end of this episode makes it seem like he will be staying for quite some time.
Decade Armour's debut wasn't too strong since it had no emotional build-up but it did leave an impression. While the flat "card" face looks stupid, the way he utilizes other Rider's super forms is very cool. And the Heiseiber is an awesome weapon, albeit noisy as hell. I understand this was Tsukasa giving Zi-O a power-up to study him so it will presumably make sense in the scheme of things.
Overall, a stellar episode and I'm excited to see what comes next now that Oma Zi-O and Zi-O will be meeting face-to-face.
The spin-off episode brings back the classic pink VS magenta debate and the meme-worthy "Onore Dikeido!" I had a good laugh at that.
EDIT: There was so much in this episode that I forgot to comment on a few things. Firstly, the two v. two robo fight felt kind of unnecessary and out of place but it's cool to know they still have CG budget for stuff like this. Honestly it did not look too awful and they showcased Ex-Aid and Build Rider forms for the robots, which was awesome.
I really like how full-blown they are going with the Decade homage, right down to the eyecatch ending in a similar manner to how Decade episodes would end, albeit with the RideWatch instead of the Decadriver. Since Decade is getting such a big role and they are teasing a Decade vs Zi-O sort of conflict, I really hope they bring back Decade's OST. They haven't done that so far with other Legend's (aside from the one Team Baron dance track) for licensing reasons I assume, but they did it in the Wizard specials and that felt really special. If anything, just bring back the track "Parallel World" and possibly his main theme. I can't imagine a Tsukasa speech or classic henshin scene without them.
