Zi-O's own plot is starting to be a bit more intriguing to me thanks to Still-The-Best-Character Woz -- not only are we seeing a couple more layers to him than enthused loyalist, but that scene with him and Geiz implies they have a lot more backstory with each other. I initially thought that due to being an Anniversary season it wouldn't be delved into too much; that these characters just have Time Travel and Belts and the Drive/Ghost Ridewatches and know each other just because, but it seems there's more to it. Looking forward to that now. It certainly helps that the intro implies some sort of link between Tsukiyomi and the Time Jackers...
Buuuut where this season is ultimately falling down for me is the tributes. I was willing to look past Build's due to that being hashed together with the intro episode; that being just the first tribute; and later finding out that they didn't know how Build was going to end so they had no idea what to do. But these tributes have honestly been a complete travesty -- we learn nothing about these past characters or why they're great, the episodes don't nail down anything about what we loved about these series whether narrative or thematic or in leitmotif; we don't even get to see the
Riders
half the time! Fourze and Faiz basically got cameos, and now Wizard gets a flashback! I'm glad that next episode apparently at least has Beast getting in on the action, but this is kind of depressing. I thought that scene from the second episode with Build and Cross-Z lining up in a team-up with Zi-O and Geiz would be a standard for the tribute episodes, but instead we get... basically nothing.
I'm really sorry to come across as so annoyed, but Zi-O really, really feels like it does not get any of these seasons or what makes them so great or what was unique about them. Swap out magic for Samurais or Detectives and this episode could quite literally have been done with any rider.
