Pretty substantial episode, even if a lot of it fell flat.
Schwarz kind of comes off as a dull villain, even with his motivations fully revealed. Okay, so he and Tsukuyomi come from a royal bloodline and he was jealous that she was chosen to be the next ruler. But if stealing her powers would make him so powerful, why did he choose to erase her memories and send her to a different timeline in the first place? And what about his goal to steal Decade's Rider power? Why didn't he do that back when Tsukasa was allied with the Time Jackers? The whole thing seems poorly planned.
Tsukuyomi and Ora get their powers stolen. Schwarz finally betrays his comrades and we start to see an alliance between Ora, Ur and the heroes, which is a fairly interesting development all things considered. And of course Hiryu was a red herring. He's not really even in the episode till the end. The heroes reunite and they set the timeline back on course. So a lot happened, but it just didn't feel super satisfying.
I suppose the Decade elements of this episode made up for some of it. Seeing Tsukasa transform alongside the Zi-O Riders was awesome, and it was neat that he could beat the Another Riders in his base form (makes sense though, since he also has the power of all the Heisei Riders). Kaito continues to be unpredictable, first returning the Grand Zi-O Watch to the ex-Time Jackers before helping Schwarz steal Decade's power. And the Decade vs Diend fight was fun to watch, even with how brief it was. I also liked Tsukasa's remark about him ("he never had those powers, but he was always this way" lol). I was hoping for more interaction between the two but I'm sure there will be more coming.
Finally, the timeline is restored but Tsukasa is no longer Decade and Kaito has the Another Zi-O II Watch. I'm excited to see what capacity the Decade cast play during the endgame and the appearance of Another Drive and Decade next episode as well. Oh, and Aqua. Never thought we'd see him again!
Some final side remarks: Pretty cool to see Another Double, Ryuki and Kuuga in the show finally, and the all-20 Rider kick was pretty badass. Still wish they'd get more creative with Grand though, like how he was in his debut.
