This episode made it look cool for a while though (thanks to somebody else wearing it), and I love the epic choir music playing alongside Kaixa riding sidecar. The only one missing from this big brawl is Auto-vajin... |

That fight at the end, though! That was no joke. If that’s all you recall from this one, it’s probably going to stick in your brain as a good episode. Everyone remembers all the cool shit their gear does, and they make it look awesome. Jet Sliger. The ED-209 thing that Kaixa’s bike turns into. A combo Delta/Faiz finisher. It’s all very fun, and a total highlight. But, man, the rest! A ton of energy spent on ideas that work in theory, but fail in practice. Did not like this one! Unsurpisingly, Murakami joins the club of Delta users who are cooler than Mihara. He's no longer president so he doesn't mind collecting Gears now. Faiz and Kaixa only had to chase him since Mihara basically called him a ride.

I mean, sorry? I never know if the shit I care about is of interest to the fandom at large, so when a weak episode has a strong ending, my assumption is that that papers over a lot of the flaws in people's memory. I'm sorry if I'm being dismissive or reductive! Quote:

Huh, did you forget the name of Side Basshar?! There are so many missiles in that chase fight with Side Basshar and Jet Sliger. So many missiles. Crazy scenes like these are rare in the franchise but when they happen, they're awesome! One of my favorite CGI moments from the show.

Oh, I didn't really mean anything by that! I just found it amusing how familiar that part sounded. I even agree that this one was far from Faiz's best material. I don't think I've ever seen you be truly dismissive of other people's opinions. I didn't mean to come off like I was criticizing you there!

To me, Faiz is exploring some of the same themes as in Agito, but in a more nuanced way. Agito was largely about how we react to change, and that was dramatized through a new species. They fought for their survival against a humanity that would sooner obliterate them than understand them.
Faiz uses the Orphnochs in a similar way, but it’s largely avoided the fight for survival against humanity; instead, exploring deeper, more relatable themes. How does a disadvantaged group argue for its right to self-determination? How does an in-group coexist with an out-group? How does society better relate to new ideas? All of that’s in the show, and the metaphorical way it’s approached is almost always impressive. Quote:

But for some reason Auto Vajin doesn't join the party to complete the set!. This does utilize ED-209's multi passenger vehicle to carry both Faiz and Kaixa..... and the fight yeah it's noteworthy that this combines both the Rider combat and motorcycle clash for Faiz (previously it was only about the motorcycle... in a less choreograph than Kuuga's one other than being flashier). Those who hate him's reasons are all his cruelty, and because of that they can't see him as anti-hero either, because they acknowledge he does more harm than good overall even if he kills Orphnochs. Though like you said before, people like Kitazaki and Minami are even worse (they're listed as pure evil). But having few redeeming qualities doesn't absolve you of evil alignment (caring for Mari - caring for a single person is seen in some of them, and that even what drives their villainy), more villains are on that category - Kitazaki and Minami are just in special worst category that is even too evil for villains (other examples for this in other Riders - Daguva, Ouja, Dr. Maki, Banno, Masamune, Evolt, etc.).

Now, do you talk about Renegades and Team Faiz within this episode, or the series as a whole? And other than this, each member of the teams are actually different in approach, individually that you know.... though they're modeled after each other's counterparts. And other than Lucky Clover, what would you view for Smart Brain (other than Murakami, Hanagata, and Minami)? For Minami your take seems tame for him to seem justifaizing him... I don't approve of it. And this should be taken objectively for me, but what do you mean that Team Faiz are heroes because they try to get better at being people? And for Teruo here, did you only speak about him as a character instead of his other stuff?
