I love Pallad. He's like a less genocidal N-Daguva-zEBA.

Well, this episode was everything I wanted and then some. I don't really feel there is a need to say more. This show is on my top tier of favorites.

So the bulk of this episode deals with Parad finally appreciating the value of life and by the end of this episode he's now a hero/anti-hero, depending on how next week episode goes. The scene where he breaks down about how scared he was from his near death experience was really good. The problem however is just merely the fact that I don't care about Parad. Out of all the villains we had, he's probably my least favourite due to how weird and kinda inconsistent his characterization has been. It's hard to explain what exactly I mean but I was just never able to really grasp what Parad's motivations are or what his end goal even is, which is something I can say about the Bugsters in general really.
Parad (up until now) agreed with this, but he also wanted to establish himself as enough of a threat so that Emu will fight him seriously, hence why he takes over Kamen Rider Chronicle. He probably took the primary Bugster goal much less seriously than Graphite does, though. Parad's just in it for the fun. Quote:
Parad is absolutely obsessed with Emu to the point that I feel he shouldn't even care what the Bugsters are trying to do unless it furthers what he wants with Emu. I guess that was the point of him taking over Kamen Rider Chronicle but that certaintly wasn't communicated well enough. Heck the whole thing about him supposedly not caring about life before is also not really true since we've seen him value the lives of the Bugsters like when Burgmon died. Then again we've also seen the opposite when he casually decides to kill Revol and was going to do the same to Poppy after she became good again. Perphaps I'm just being an idiot and not understanding any of it but it just seems to me like the show didn't entirely knew what to do with Parad.
Poppy was also fair game since she was a Rider, and was inevitably going to fight other Bugsters. Of course, things changed drastically when Cronus came along and established firmly that it's no longer a game for the Bugsters anymore.

This little comic should sum up this episode.

Parad's thing has always been about playing by the rules. He didn't actually care about Bugsters or Humans being killed off (especially not Bugsters, since they can be revived), so long as both parties were willing participants. However, Kuroto killed Burgmon in coldblood for seemingly no reason other than pettiness. Revol was fair game since Revol attacked him first.
Poppy was also fair game since she was a Rider, and was inevitably going to fight other Bugsters. Of course, things changed drastically when Cronus came along and established firmly that it's no longer a game for the Bugsters anymore. |
