I would argue the DaiMazines are fairly low on the list of questions that could have used fleshing out.
I'm really looking forward to the movie just to see what kind of insanity from Zi-O is in store that simultaneously needs to be 'theater-worthy' but also can't actually affect the show's status quo. |

That was a good enough finale for me. Could have been better but I'm fine with what we got.
Ohma Zi-O is really OP. He's the one punch Rider! Well farewell Heisei and hello Reiwa! Hope that Zero-One turns out great.

He didn't wipe his own memories, if you can recall that while he's spreading the butter on his toast, that he's narrating "September 2018"and he still has his dreams of being king. The V cinema will reawaken their memories probably with Woz. It's worth noting that Heure was calling Sougo the King Senpai even though he's dumb. Heure even the supposed past was to be allies with Sougo and now he has this attraction to Sougo; Geiz doing his best to stop Sougo's ambitions, Ora being non nonsense, Tsukuyomi always protecting Sougo and that in the end, they were racing against time as they were running late..fittingly for a show about time.

I'm not even going to try to wrap my mind over the intricacies of the finale. Instead I'll say that the last six pages of commentary here are awesome.
Personally, I feel all of it was seriously interpretive, save for the fact that for some reason Sougo chose to Fourze all of his friends. We all get to select whether the endings for other series such as Faiz, Blade, Den-O, or even Aqua did or did not happen. Because it literally is like watching Avengers Endgame and trying to make sense of time travel in that plot. Ultimately, the answer to the game is not to play. Things I would love to have seen as supplemental to this would have been one last .5 episode, and a V-Cinema with Tsukuyomi as a primary rider. Because her appearance was so short, and had zero action. I'd totally entertain the idea of ONE female rider world, I think it's long overdue, and not just because of PC reasons. Was the ending a 'happy' one. I'd totally say yes. Was it a good ending to the last Heisei era series? Sure. Did it give us any Decade closure? Nope. And I guess we'll have to just be alright with that.

I'm a little curious about the episode's couple of nods to Zero-One. In addition to the 21 worlds we see at the end of the episode, Zero-One is called out as one of the attacks Sougo uses as Grand Zi-O, although the attack itself is a blur indistinguishable from (Drive?)
I realize this show had already done a ton of stuff that didn't make sense, but FFS, Sougo never obtained a Zero-One RideWatch; we didn't see one among the repaired RideWatches his uncle handed him, and it wasn't represented on the Grand Zi-O RideWatch. This feels very much like something that was added during last-minute post-production. This episode was... meh. I guess the action sequences were fun? The overall plot of Zi-O landed with a splat, which I guess was inevitable given that Sougo's desire to be a king has never, ever felt like an actual human motivation. I was mostly enjoying the back half of the series, but this episode was largely devoid of surprises and clever bits. That Tsukoyomi would betray Schwartz was beyond obvious. That it largely didn't matter - and that we largely didn't get to see the awesome Kamen Rider Tsukoyomi in action - was just annoying. It was annoying that Decade and DiEnd got practically no denouement. The characters who returned to life as Sougo's fellow high school students made little sense. Between this show and Kamen Rider Decade, I'm feeling pretty confident that big anniversary crossover seasons are not a great idea. Good thing the next one is a decade away... |
