Man with a plan

I saw episodes 14 and 15 of Wizard. I liked the formula switch up with the film director supposedly being the gate but being the phantom and someone else being the gate. Water Dragon style was badass, granted forced since Lizardman didn't seem like that much of a challenge in the first place but still cool.
Wizard's writing is seeming to get smarter as it shows the responsibility of Haruto having to tell the truth but not let the gates go into despair thus making him look like a bad guy. It puts more moral weight on the Phantom dilemma and it maximizes the scope and importance of Haruto's job even more. However, there was some bulls**t ending in this two parter that I couldn't understand. Haruto lied to the gate about the film director being alive in America. I know he's afraid of letting her go into despair but just have him put an engage ring on her and beat the phantom with WizarDragon. It's better then having a gate running around with no protection. I don't know if this is worse then when Kamen Rider W lied to the little kid about being his dead father. I think this might be worse because the Gate is a FULL GROWN ADULT THAT CAN HANDLE SOMEONE'S DEATH. EDIT: After seeing the Christmas episode, I loved the action between Phoenix and Wizard. it was badass. The gate's backstory was good for all the time one episode could give. It also established the plot point that Phoenix gets stronger and becomes immune to Wizard's tactics as he gets revived. Water Dragon got some more action. The best part of the episode was when Haruto went into Water Dragon and used a 3 ring spam on Phoenix to finish him. Bilzzard, Water Dragon Slash Strike and Special all in a row were badass moves. Santa's appearance felt forced and confused me. His ring that he gave Haruto didn't bother me but the fact that Santa can get into people's underworlds does. The episode felt Christmasy enough without the forced Santa but this was put into a really good episode that didn't need it. The only thing that would have made this episode more unnecessarily Chirstmasy was taking a page out of Power Ranger's Samurai's book and making horrible Christmas puns while fighting the bad guys.

First is that the thing keeping the Gate from going into despair was Lizardman's former Gate. After everything that went down, telling her that he died would've pretty much had Haruto doing the Phantom's work for them. The drive to see him again was what was keeping her going during his 6(?) month disappearance. There's a time and place for everything. And telling her that he was dead (The ONE thing that would pretty much break her spirit entirely) would probably be the dumbest thing they could do.

Blade 27. Dat Jack. I'd be more pumped for power-ups if the designs in this show weren't so bland.

Tachibana's constant injuries seem like a really convenient plot device to keep him from helping Mutsuki. Kinda lame, but whatever. But what I'm really liking is how Nozomi is actually becoming a character. I'm coming to like her a lot more. Same goes for Shima. I didn't like him at all at first, but he's really picked up this story from the normal kill monsters, get cards. |

I really love the Blade designs. They're inventive.
I don't remember the extent of Tachibana's injuries, but since the show doesn't use a 2 episode format, it means that actions can have consequences that last longer than just the next episode.

King Form doesn't do much for me either. That dull, brownish gold really bugs me.

Oh dear, it's the wacky arc for this season. Are they always about food rivalries in Kamen Rider? Between this and the Kabuto dark chef knife thing, I don't know what to believe anymore. Last edited by Brainchild; 01-01-2013 at 09:12 PM.. |
