Very fun episode. Kousuke is really growing on me as a character and I love the way he and Haruto play off of each other. Actually, I'm getting to the point where I really like all of the characters, even Shunpei (kinda). Haruto, in particular, is really coming into his own as a great main Rider.
Kamen Rider was a lot darker back then, though. Since Decade it's very, very rare that we see a monster actually kill someone. |

Man, the Toei of just five years ago had monsters turn people into transparent husks of drained energy. I kinda miss the real horror angle that the shows used to have - some of the ways the Lords in Agito killed people still creep me out to this day.

Lords are still the creepiest and most brutal killers. But it gave the shows an extra degree of suspense when the villains were ruthless and the bystanders didn't make it. It feels like that's been missing from the last several years of riders.

Beast Kick Strike (which I'm calling Beast Lunch Strike) was pretty bad ass.
But Wizard continues to bore me. I don't care about the Rider, none of the side characters are all that interesting and the villains are boring. Maybe it's just me but it doesn't feel like anything has actually happened for most of the series. |

Liked the episode. Was this the first time Wizard and Beast willingly worked together? That dual henshin was pretty cool.
Overall I liked it. I loved the trick they played on Gremlin at first but in retrospect it relied on a heretofore unknown power to work(at least as far as I recall... that wasn't one of Beast's normal powers with Falco was it?). But it worked at the time. Looking forward to Medusa's origin next week. |

Watching Wizard alongside Ryuki is pretty jarring tbqh. They really pushed the envelope back then. Was almost hoping this episode was gonna take that dark of a turn honestly.

Grandma dying would probably mean both Nitou and Haruto are gonna fall into despair and the show would end. So I wasn't expecting anything anyway

I really enjoyed this one.The thought of a character losing a family member pulls at my heart strings,so I can relate to what Kousuke went through.Just a really heartwarming episode.
It's so cool that we're seeing more of what the Beast Rings do with the Wizard Driver.I'm really interested to see what Buffa and Chameleo do.Beast's Kick Strike was so cool,the lion(Beast) going through the rings of fire was such a nice touch. I'm wondering what's gonna happen next story-wise.Wizard's all Dragon-ed up now,Phoenix is perpetually dying in the sun and Gremlin's doing his thing.We need some more plot movement,we're already halfway through the show and Wiseman hasn't done much and we still don't know what the Sabbath is. |
