Hey everyone, guess what time it is!
Time for me to find some clever way to work in a Back to the Future Part II quote... but since I can't think of one, I'll instead point out Sougo's (not) trip to the future last episode included a holographic shark, so Toei definitely isn't doing this on accident.
This episode was on point. The Time Jackers are still dangerously close to wearing thin on me, and I've decided White Woz is nowhere near as cool as OG Woz, but he's alright.
Three things jumped out at me, though. First was Sougo's characterization, once again inspiring greatness in his subjects, as well as the little bits that show he isn't quite as chipper about being Zi-O as he used to be. I still don't think Sougo is any sort of exceptional protagonist, but as long as the show keeps tapping more and more of the goldmine of potential that is his character, I'll keep giving him the credit he deserves.
The second part that impressed me was a lot of the very "active" shots, especially during the fight with Woz in the climax. The way the camera was moving around was just super appealing to me for some reason.
Finally, and this is a minor point, but the fact that neither Geiz or Zi-O used any kind of form change. Zi-O still has plenty of upgrades to forget about his main form, but it's a pleasant surprise he isn't already busting out the Decade Armor in every fight scene.

I think part of this is that Zi-O doesn't have the same kind of "water cooler talk" factor Build and Ex-Aid did. Those shows had some major new twist every episode and told a heavily serialized, continuous story, so it's only natural people were eager to talk about them.
Zi-O obviously has a lot of that stuff going on too, but as evidenced by the return of the two-part formula, it's more on the level of something like Double or Fourze. I'd definitely agree it's likely people simply waiting a bit longer to watch the episodes plays into it.
