Ryoma scanning Kiwami Arms tell me that he is going to create the lock seed that Micchi uses to become evil-Kiwi.

This ep has the classic trope of hero's party stops at crucial points to fight obstacle baddies while he moves on to face the boss.
According to the recent scans we've seen, it looks like the tower will form the setting for a majority of the show's final lap. |

Oh man, this episode just hit all of my buttons. As always, I love seeing all of the remaining non-douchebag Riders working together. After so many months of them being at odds over so many different things, having all of them on the same side is so great. And on top of that we have the "you guys go on ahead while we stay behind to deal with this threat" plot. I am a huge sucker for that trope. This episode was a lot of set-up, but I'm really excited to see it all pay off.
Also, Ryouma is one of the most entertaining characters to watch. He had some fantastic facial expressions this week. Especially when he was watching Kouta fight. |

Couple of things:
- Ryoma really stood out to me in this episode. I think it really emphasized how much of a total nutjob he actually is, especially when he laughs in glee realizing how he's pretty much indirectly responsible for everything and just acts like a total insensitive ass this episode - As everyone has already stated, the trope of team members staying behind one by one until we're left with the hero is pretty cool. - Really loving how well Oren fits in with the rest of the riders. He's kinda become the big guy, muscle of the group. The team dynamic as a whole is pretty fun. You've got the leader Kouta, second-in-command Kaito, nerdy Jonouchi, Oren as the team's muscle, Yoko as the badass fighter gal, and Zack as the cool guy that everybody likes. - Jonouchi himself has become such a likable character in my eyes, and I'm glad that I finally did come around to ordering the figuart. I really can't point my finger on it, but he's becoming one of my favorite Riders on the show. - As for story developments, yeeeeeeeah....am I the only one who thought Kouta was looking mighty Eiji-esque in the previews? I feel like it's only going to be a dream sequence, but really, I can't be quite sure. - Ghost Takatora is such a troll. - Mitsuzane will probably be my favorite Rider villain when this series is said and done, surpassing Ouja for me. His fall is being handled incredibly well and it would take quite the fuck-up to ruin that for me. - Side note that doesn't really pertain to this episode: does Kouta have access to Mars and Kamuro's weapons? Would that mean that the silver and gold lockseeds exist in the main timeline?

I just love how Ryoma is just as insane as Mr Hellgrape, yet is fully aware of it. He's completely out of his damned mind, but he conveys his insanity in a comedic way and it works so well. I was hoping that Takatora would come back to put him down, but I doubt that'll ever happen.

BOOM! Thank you, Gaim. You let me down the last three weeks but this week was back on track.
Awesome episode - great dialogue, break-neck pacing and some awesome scenes. I cheered when Kaito punched Ryoma in the face. And I won't lie, Gridon and Bravo were pretty heroic! |

Now this episode was pretty Brave.
Can someone answer me why the damsel in distress always has to show up in a white dress with heels? Seriously, she's in the forest of Helheim, and she's wearing heels. *facepalm I think we should also change the name of "Talkin Toku" to "Ryouma's Shorts". Okay enough puns. I didn't like this episode that much. Why? Because it feels like filler. If all they were going to do was turn Kouta into an orange Mario, then what was the point of creating all this tension? Seriously, it went from a Gaim version of the Expendables into a Power Rangers troupe real fast. What do I mean by that? Okay, so we know that Mitsuzane has Mai. Fine, she's now a new resident at the hotel Helheim. And so now Kouta has to save her. No mention of his sister, his friends, anyone else that's hooked up to the sucky sucky machine. Then we slowly lose in the tried and true method of each person stays to allow the next people to go through to the next stage. I will admit there was a lot of great action there. Water Chestnuts for the win. But really it's more about allowing Ryouma to scheme and plot and twirl his mustache for another pointless reason, and Kouta is again left at the end running. Things that still need to be resolved in around 11 episodes or less: Getting your friends and your sister freed. Getting Mai back. Defeating Redyue Defeating Mituzane and his grapes of wrath. Defeating Rosyuo Defeating Ryouma Completely sealing Helheim off from the Earth. Finding your scrot and coming to terms with people being jerks. That's a pretty long list to accomplish. I just don't think all these are going to be done by the end, or worse, we're gonna get Bladed.

You know what would be a great twist? If Ryouma didn't turn on them and get defeated in the show. If Kouta or whoever gets the golden fruit, Ryouma's just like "Oh well" and helps them save the world. Because he has SCIENCE! to do and well equipped labs are hard to come by in the Helheim forest. He then waltzes off into the sunset to be the cause of trouble in the Gaim half of this years movie wars.
