I still don't see why so many people seem to love Mayu. She had a pretty generic revenge plot and aside from that...she really has nothing, and this episode shows that even more tbqh. I can't help but feel that all the love she gets is because "omg a female Kamen Rider" since so many people felt that we had to have one..because reasons.

A) Frankly, it's quite simple. He grew a Phantom in a lab, and implanted t within himself. A wizard is someone who has a Phantom inside of them, and channels its power through the use of rings and a WizarDriver. How does that work? Let me quote myself:
This is what it can do. B) Sometimes, you just feel like you have to do things on your own, despite what you learned. Whether or not that is a flaw depends on the situation. B) That is fine, but the arc where he learns he needs to share the load JUST FINISHED, so it looks like he's gone back on it already. It's bad pacing and makes him look like he's learnt nothing.

It's so good to see the story really picking up the pace now that the identity of the Wiseman has been revealed and his plans are put into motion at a rapid pace. Fueki's revelation of his plans to Haruto was one of the best moments of the show, as it really ties all the plots together nicely. Like what Koyomi really is, why Wiseman would work with phantoms, and how did he become a Wizard when he's just a scientist. Now that Fuegi's got 3 of the 4 Wizards needed for another Sabbath, it'd be interesting to see how he can nab Haruto for his forth Wiz to begin the ceremony. Quote:

Good thing Mayu's actress is of legal age or I'd really feel dirty for checking her out. I am into legs and she's got some of the most gorgeous legs I've ever seen. Ahem.. back to the episode...

I agree with you to a point, but I think her presence does rob Haruto and Nitoh's screentime, so the writers have been keeping her very low key ever since her sister has been killed. It seems that they really don't know what to do with her character aside from that story arc, and now they are just going to throw her in with other Mages and be done with her. Such a shame cuz I really think she revolutionizes the KR by becoming a regular on the show. Hopefully we'll have other KR shows where a female KR is introduced from day 1. But I do enjoy Mayu quite a bit. It just irks me that she was given the generic costume. The one who willingly wanted to become a wizard in this world gets shafted with the generic mage costume from Magic Land. But Yuzuru and Yamamoto who don't want to be wizards at all get personalized color schemes. I really want to see her step up and do some more of the fighting but it feels like they really had no idea what to do with her since they probably already knew they'd have Wiseman/Fueki kill Medusa.

Gaim supposedly will have a female rider from the get go. Though most people will debate whether that 5th rider is indeed female because "it doesn't look female enough". I'm hoping that is the female rider.

I think all the mages revealed so far each has a color tied to elemental. Mayu is Yellow/Earth, Yuzuru is Blue/Water, and Yamamoto is Green/Wind.

I highly doubt that was their plan from the get go to have Wizard be red for Flame and the 3 Mages that would accompany him for the sabbat be the other 3 colors and elements. There's no evidence they have elemental abilities at all. It's coincidental that that's how this has played out. Once they used a generic for Mayu they knew they had to signify the other 2 so a simple color swap worked but it's a last second after thought, that's all.

But Mayu's Mage suit isn't anything. Her costume is literally the same one that all the generic Mages in the Magic Land world and movie use. The only difference is that the Magic Land mages have capes to signify rank between captains and soldiers. Her costume got no love but Yuzuru and Yamamoto got special colors.

I think the Mage design is awful and it saddens me to see Mayu wearing that POS.
