I really am loving Build's rider trio, probably my favorite right after Ghost's trio. I'm still not sure about Banjo's backstory but like I said last week, I'm willing to see where it goes. At the very least they seem to be digging into Katsuragi's family, something that I was hoping they would do ever since we found out Sento was Takumi.
Gentoku is also starting to go through his heel turn arc. If you told me this was happening 10 episodes ago, I would probably say I don't like it. However like with Kazumi's heel turn, the circumstances for it feel natural given the context of the story and characters so I don't mind it. Cross-Z Magma debut was super hot, the direction of this episode in general was on point. Seriously Toei, give Kazuya Kamihoriuchi the main director role for the next Kamen Rider series. I'm also glad someone on the sound team finally knows how to mix the inserts cause the use of Burning My Soul was great. It's such a breath of fresh air after Ex Aid's mindbogglingly atrocious use of it's inserts. |

Holy shit, Cross-Z Magma is such an awesome looking form. Moreso than Cross-Z Charge, it looks like a natural progression of the Cross-Z base form. It also looks like we're going to see the base form again next episode. Thank goodness the show didn't decide to just totally drop it.
I also love that Banjo Ryuga's plotline is something that would usually be reserved for the main Rider, finding out that they have altered DNA and that's what allows their power level to constantly rise. This show does a really good job of making Cross-Z feel as important to the plot as Sento, whereas most seasons make you feel like the secondary Rider is just backup. Kazumi has kind of been out-of-focus with all this stuff going on between Sento and Banjo, but by no means does it feel like he's the awkward 3rd wheel. |

Remember, the queen said the Banjo was their great hope, so I think he has the potential to greatly aid either good or evil. I also doubt a name like Mad Rogue would go to a good guy. I think it more likely they find out he trying to help Sento now and force an upgrade based on Hazard that drive him completely insane so they can still make use of him, hence the name.

So my friend made an observation:
Stalk = Cobra Cross Dragon = Fire Cross Charge = Electricity/Fire Stalk = Orochimaru Banjou = Sasuke |

Am I the only one who got yugioh vibes from this episode?
Stark just used Lava Golem on Joey- I mean Banjou. It even inflicts damage on the user. Awesome episode tho |

At least he isn't killed off, but I guess they can give him a weapon like Alain later in the series because he went from the strongest rider to a pathetic sideline character during all the actions. The same with night rogue. Maybe mad rogue is gentoku after all if he switch side. Also, RR and TT are overshadowed by cross magma already without showing more feats. Maybe they should have shorten regular hazard sceen time since the plain black form is much more impactful and memorable right now.

Well the magazines did say that Blood Stalk is getting a new form, so he'll be in Souichi's body for a while. I could see the body jacking as like an endgame kind of thing as they'd want to get a good use out of Magma. Kind of weird for Toei to have another body-jacker just when Sentai's last series had a main villain that specialised in that area.

Man, Cross-z Magma's debut was pretty hot!
...I'm sorry. But in all honesty, as awesome as it was, it felt equally worrying since they got the upgrade pretty much directly from Stalk. It really does feel like this was all "part of his plan" and I hope there's some way the heroes can get around this.
